The Emperor, who personally led the expedition, suddenly returned to the palace, stirring quite a discussion in Chang'an.
He appointed treacherous officials, plotted against loyal subjects, indulged in ignorance and incompetence, neglecting governance... His previous public reputation was not good. If asked to select the most incompetent monarch in Daxia's history, the vast majority of people would likely name the current Emperor.
However, people's opinions about him changed as he killed the Emperor of Wei, destroyed Wei Country, personally led the troops of Daxia to capture cities and territories, expanding Daxia's borders to their utmost limit.
Nowadays, all of Daxia's citizens hope every day that the Emperor can lead the army to annex Chu Country and eliminate Qi Country, taking Daxia to new heights. Yet, he suddenly returned to the palace, leaving everyone puzzled.
Even more puzzling developments followed.
