I have lived in Asia for many years and have held various jobs. Here is an illustrated overview of my life and policies during my years as emperor.

Some emperors think the job is only about robes and concubines. I had bigger things in mind.

Those who offered friendship received friendship in return.

But those who insulted the dignity of the empire soon became familiar with the point of an imperial arrow.

After leading the army to victory, I mercilessly crushed my enemies.
