Chapter 501 - 458: The Virtueless New Emperor Brings Calamity to the People_2
Emperor Yanping was also an ambitious man, and his ambition was to surpass Emperor Chengping and become a sage monarch respected for his virtue and intelligence.
Hence, since ascending the throne over a year ago, he had always been striving to control the court, dealing with state affairs and governing the country according to his own ideas.
He didn’t renovate temples, indulge in the company of women, or give in to gossiping; he was diligent in ruling and loved the people, never daring to slack for a moment.
However, the result—
How could people slander him like this?
In an instant, Emperor Yanping felt a sudden chill of disillusionment.
"Your Majesty!"
In the Imperial Study Room, looking at Emperor Yanping’s pallid face, Nansheng couldn’t help but softly call out.
Emperor Yanping’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on Nansheng, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice, "What else is there?"
At that moment, he was like a volcano on the verge of eruption; on the surface, he appeared calm, but inside, a boundless fury was bubbling.
After the disillusionment came endless rage and hatred.
