本书讲述了一个王者的真实创业经历 东汉开国皇帝刘秀是如何从一个底层农民成为天下雄主的？ 败在刘秀手下的有：起义军势力绿林军、铜马军、赤眉军、尤来军等，皇帝王莽、王朗、公孙述，割据势力隗嚣、刘永、张步等。起事后3年称帝，12年扫平天下。 他以独特的人格魅力，聚拢了以邓禹、吴汉、冯异为代表的“云台二十八将”这些非凡人才，一起打下江山。难得的是他们一直对刘秀忠心耿耿，哪怕在刘秀落魄的时候；而刘秀也与他们保持了真挚的情谊，从没想过鸟尽弓藏。 他将众多曾经的敌人变成了自己人，吸引他们前来相投。这是更为难得的事情。 他做了33年皇帝，让自己治下的百姓过得很不错。哪怕到了晚年，依旧做事清醒，仍然是个成功者。 他娶了历史上有名的美女阴丽华，与阴丽华两情相悦，始终幸福。他们的孩子是东汉第二位皇帝汉明帝，也是一位好皇帝。
