If you haven’t seen the first two I highly recommend it, if not don’t worry about it, all you need to know: This guy is Han Wudi, he ruled China for 5 decades at the peak of one of its golden ages, made it bigger and better, then got super paranoid and killed his favorite son. Along the way he threw his newborn great-grandson into prison but guess what he grew up in prison, a kindly warden got him out, he grew up some more as a commoner and then someone came to his house one day and said “Hey surprise congratulations you’re the emperor!” and he was a really nice guy who did nice things for the commoners and only mass-murdered like one family, practically a saint. Today, and by today I mean like 1 BCE, the emperor is dead, succession is getting complicated again and China is effectively ruled by this man: the quiet and humble regent Wang Mang… who’s leading a cult of personality from the shadows in order to resurrect a 1000-year-old kingdom and become the most powerful man in the known world.\n
