However, what violates common sense is that in a country with centralized authority, the emperor at the highest position and the managers who serve him often have conflicting interests.
Since the country belongs to the emperor and not to the other ruling classes, the middle ruling class and their families naturally have no responsibility for the country's survival, only wanting to gain more from this ruling system.
Putting the public assets belonging to the country into their own pockets.
Thus, apart from a few conscientious ruling class, most do not care about the life and death of the lower classes, only indulging in uncontrolled consumption!
Therefore, as long as the supreme ruler, the emperor, is still a normal person, his position is bound to be in alignment with the ruled classes.
If the ruled classes see no hope, are exploited by the middle classes, and life gets worse, then this societal contract will fail, and the reform to overthrow everything will follow.
