Emperor Jianyuan turned his head to sweep his gaze along the sides of the street, the anger in his eyes growing more intense: "I have now lost the people's support and respect! It's already difficult to govern these Heluo Two States, let alone gather funds and recruit troops!
If I remain clueless and persist in increasing taxes, I fear that before Chu Xisheng's army arrives, these aristocratic families of Heluo Two States will have taken my head and offered it to that rebel!"
——These ant-like people, they have forgotten who brought them thirty years of peace and prosperity, who relieved them of so many harsh taxes and levies?
Now, just because I issued the Ten Big Coins, because of a major defeat, because of a single Heavenly Gaze, because of a remark from the Three Generation of Saint Emperor, they've turned to betrayal!
They're all ungrateful scoundrels!
And those aristocratic families, they should all be killed!
