 | Hello I am Wudi, I come from the royal family. I also ruled during the Han Dynasty. However I am not the eldest of the kings children. Also I started ruling when I was just sixteen. How about you? | |
|
| My name is Liu Bang and I was born into a peasant family. I worked as a police officer during the Qin dynasty. But i started ruling because I started the civil war to take rule and won. I removed all the original vassals and put my relatives in line. As a rebel leader, I am very proud of what I have accomplished in this life. | |

| Discussing Politics & Religion |
|
| I ruled very much of my life under the influence of my relatives and political officials I had around me. I began to reign as emperor of the Han Dynasty in 141 BC. I launched many wars with my massive army taking rule over Southern China, and most of Vietnam, and Korea. I have always been very interested in confucianism. I never Thought myself I didnt follow the Confucian ideas of a ruler, I did appreciate Confucius's writings and the use of ritual in religion. | |
|
| Well much of my ruling was just done as a rebel leader. In my ruling I first reigned as king from 202 BC to 195 BC. But I ruled as emperor from 202 BC to 195 BC. I am very well known for my skills in foreign affairs. I did not launch very many wars, but I made many advances in China at the time. Such as art, literature, and science. I earned a reputation for a cruel and ruthless leader, but i did many good things for china too. With in my ruling I revived feudalism in China. But, I dont have a specific religion. | |

| Arguing Who Was More Successful |
|
| I am beyond far, way more successful than you! I lead more battles that provided me with control of Furgana, now known as Uzbekistan, and many small states in between. Although all these wars cost China a ton of money, I taxed and saw that the government controlled trade of salt, wine, and iron in order to raise money. I made it a rule that, in order to work for the government, a person had to pass a test based on the teachings of Confucius. And before I die I appointed my eight year old son as heir. | |
|
| Well for one you were highly disliked by the public and your son was accused of witchcraft. But I came from a peasant family and look where I am now. I eliminated all of the harsh taxes on the peasants unlike you. Also everyone knows that i have skills in foreign affairs using a combination of diplomacy and military force. Also I made peace with many tribe that were trying to invade China at the time. Heres something else, my rule was known as the beginning of the Han dynasty. And i had a huge influence in china even after my death. So clearly I and way more successful. | |
