"So you see, such a national policy is foolish, and we must understand this. Ang'er, you must remember that while the emperor indeed performed a service by pacifying the realm, we cannot foot the bill for everything he does hereafter."
What Xiaotian said was not entirely untrue. Zhu Yuanzhu of the Ming dynasty had acted precisely like this, and once this national policy was put into practice, the emperors who followed suffered untold misery.
Xiaotian had even pondered that if he ever managed to travel back to the Ming dynasty, he would have to stop Zhu Yuanzhu from establishing this national policy, otherwise his transmigration would have been entirely in vain.
