Liu Xiu was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei was the Emperor of Shu Han at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the point of view of blood, these two were both descendants of Liu Shi, and there were many similarities, but strangely, Liu Xiu successfully established the Eastern Han Dynasty, while Liu Bei was only able to achieve the three kingdoms, and even after his death, the world was unified by Sima Yan.
Liu Xiu and Liu Bei, the two of them have a lot of similarities, in the period is also the time when the masses are divided, the father died at an early age, and then through the support of uncles and relatives, they were able to revolt and make a big achievement. Of course, the difference in the endings of Liu Xiu and Liu Bei lies in their differences.
First of all, at the cultural level, Liu Xiu is much higher than Liu Bei, although they all read sage books, but Liu Xiu has entered the Taixue, as for the people who come and go, it is not to mention. Liu Xiu's classmate Deng Yu, a famous figure in Taixue, later entered Liu Xiu's lineup and became the head of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai. And Liu Bei's best brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were all just Mangfu.
Secondly, in terms of social status, Liu Bei is inferior to Liu Xiu. Liu Bei said that he was the King of Zhongshan Jing, but it was difficult to verify, plus he made a living by selling straw shoes, and the people he knew were naturally at the bottom. As for Liu Xiu, the identity of his descendants of the Liu clan has a genealogy to check, his father was also a state cadre in front of him, and his eldest brother Liu Bosheng liked to make friends with heroes and good men, and he also cultivated a group of loyal subordinates for Liu Xiu, of course, the people Liu Xiu came into contact with were also in the upper society.
Again, in terms of the strength of the mother's family, Liu Bei is even worse than Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu first married Yin Lihua, got the support of the consortium Yin family, and later married Guo Shengtong, with the support of his uncle's military strength, so rich and human, Liu Xiu's road to revolt was naturally much smoother. As for Liu Bei, the previous wives did not have any beginnings, and it was difficult to marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang, and they also wanted to borrow the power of Eastern Wu, but they did not expect that Eastern Wu was ill-intentioned.
Liu Xiu's road to restoration is a genius who was not born in the world, and after his brother was killed, he suddenly broke out, married Yin Lihua, pacified the Hebei region, and finally stabilized the world and became emperor. And Liu Bei's Kuangfu Han Room is a story of a grass shoe seller counterattack, a straw shoe seller, met Guan Yu Zhang Fei, and then with Zhuge Liang, began to slowly have his own territory and army, and finally in the great era of the Three Kingdoms, marched into Western Shu, became the emperor of Shu Han, but unfortunately, within a few years of the peak of his life, he died.
