Historie

The Western Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO plunges into an empire driven by ambition, war, and power struggles. At its center was Emperor Wu of Han, a ruler obsessed with dominance. He expanded China's borders and strengthened its might—but every victory came with a price. Battles raged not only on the frontiers but within the palace, where conspiracies and betrayals shaped the court.

To defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu turned to two remarkable generals: Wei Qing, a former servant who became a master strategist, and his nephew Huo Qubing, a brilliant young warrior whose daring campaigns brought sweeping victories. At court, Empress Wei Zifu—once a singer—rose to power alongside her brother’s success, only to face the ruthless politics that threatened even the most powerful.

Others shaped the era in shadowed ways. Zhang Tang, the emperor’s feared enforcer, ruled through terror. Historian Sima Qian risked all to record the truth. Meanwhile, the Witchcraft Calamity unleashed a storm of paranoia, leading to purges that destroyed allies and enemies alike.

As Emperor Wu’s reign waned, cracks in the empire deepened. His successor, Liu He, ruled for only 27 days. The once-mighty Huo family fell to court intrigue. Then, Emperor Xuan of Han—a commoner by birth—rose to power, offering hope of renewal. But could he repair an empire fractured by war and ambition, or had the Han already passed its peak?
