At the same time, the emperor also issued a strict decree that all property of anyone whose family had ever rebelled would be confiscated.

This decree undoubtedly provided an opportunity for corrupt and ill-intentioned officials.

Relying on the label of "traitor", they wantonly framed others with only one purpose - to take the opportunity to plunder the people's wealth and make a fortune.

As the saying goes, "collecting money according to imperial orders", the people suffered terribly under the oppression of these people.

As innocent people were constantly framed as traitors, more and more people were forced to take the path of resistance.

As the number of rebels increased, the officials became more arrogant and domineering, bullying others by taking advantage of their power, forming a vicious cycle.

At this time, the "frugal" emperor, who was obsessed with his sweetheart in Goguryeo, had not yet realized the potential crisis.

Still stubbornly dispatched troops to attack Goguryeo again, but this time, both sides were badly damaged and short of manpower, making the war extremely difficult and brutal.

There is no doubt that Goguryeo was defeated again. Faced with such a situation, they chose to surrender without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the emperor, who was known for his "thriftiness", was overjoyed and ordered his troops to return to the capital with joy. The reason for his haste was mainly because the emperor was afraid that Goguryeo would regret its surrender.

At this moment, the "frugal" emperor had already turned a deaf ear to the advice of his ministers. If anyone dared to mention that there were many rebels, he would execute the person without mercy.

As a result, no one dared to tell the truth anymore, and everyone began to flatter and praise the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually believed it and was planning to go out for a trip with great interest. At this time, a loyal minister stepped forward and urged the emperor: There are so many rebels in the world now, and you will definitely encounter unexpected events when you go out this time!

However, the "frugal" emperor became furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the execution of the loyal minister. Then, he happily embarked on the road of no return.

After that, he enjoyed himself to his heart's content in Jiangdu and stayed there for two years. During this period, the Central Plains region had already fallen into chaos.

The Guanlong Group decisively launched a rebellion, completely cutting off the "frugal" emperor's way home. At this moment, the emperor was filled with fear and anxiety, and could only indulge in wine and sex. He needed a woman to accompany him to sleep every night to numb himself.

Not only that, he even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to hire people to build more than a hundred houses just to accommodate the beauties he had found among the people.

In fact, at the beginning, he did not show any characteristics of being overly lustful for women, but as time went on, perhaps due to the despair that gradually grew in his heart, he began to become self-destructive and unruly.

Uh… even more outrageous is that he actually said to his wife: "Who should cut off a brain as good as mine?"

Well... in the end, this once-invincible man was brutally beheaded by his most trusted confidant.

The reason for this tragedy was that the soldiers who came with the emperor who was known for his "thriftiness" were all from the Guanzhong area. They missed their homes and were eager to return home and reunite with their families as soon as possible.

However, instead of allowing them to return home, this person made a harsh statement, claiming that anyone who dared to leave without permission would be severely punished and killed without mercy.

It was also because of this that many of his soldiers finally could no longer bear it and started a rebellion at this critical moment.

He even tried to save some face by pretending to be calm and declaring that as the emperor, he should have a special death that suited his status and position, and asked his men to bring him fine wine.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Faced with his unreasonable demands, everyone could only shake their heads helplessly, indicating that there was no wine to be served.

Seeing this, he had to settle for the next best thing and said calmly, "Forget it, then bring a piece of white silk cloth over."

Just like that, this "frugal" emperor who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and was rich in experience, died.

Looking back, his initial situation was excellent, after all, his father left him a huge fortune and a vast family business.

It has to be admitted that throughout history, the family background of many emperors who have made great achievements is probably difficult to compare with his.

This emperor was just like one of the many young men from wealthy families. Before inheriting the family business, he pretended to be a well-behaved and filial son in front of his father.

Not only that, he also demonstrated his positive and enterprising spirit, hardworking, studious, filial piety and kindness to the fullest. In this way, after long years of suffering, he finally waited for his old father to pass away.

When he saw with his own eyes the vast and immensely powerful family business, his heart was instantly filled with lofty ambitions and passions.

Then, he began to squander his wealth without any scruples. In the initial stage, he still needed to pretend to be frugal, but this so-called "thrift" was just lip service.

After all, this vast territory, the mountains of gold and silver treasures, and the numerous common people were all earned by his predecessor, the emperor, with great effort.

However, as he indulged in extravagance and waste day after day, countless people lost their lives, a large amount of money disappeared like water, and even this beautiful land that originally belonged to him eventually fell into the hands of others.

In the end, he knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the family business declined and even went bankrupt. Although he was filled with despair, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

So he simply put aside all his worries, indulged himself and immersed himself in a life of sensual pleasures.

At this moment, he holds a mentality of "live for today and enjoy today", just wanting to enjoy the present moment, without considering how tomorrow will develop.

This idea seemed to tell him: Rather than being sad today, it would be better to die freely tomorrow! This is probably the way of thinking.

This emperor, who was known as "frugal", spent the last two years of his life in a jaw-dropping and absurd way.

So, which dynasty will be the next to appear on the historical stage? At this moment, Hua Ningyao was full of anticipation, as if she was about to witness the opening of the most splendid and dazzling drama.

However, despite her efforts to recall, the key information in her mind remained vague, as if it was within reach yet out of reach.
