Why Does Everyone Want to Kill Me, the Emperor?

What is an emperor in ancient times most afraid of? Corrupt officials running rampant within the court, refugees everywhere, and uprisings breaking out all over the country? Or foreign invasions and being forced to cede territory in exchange for peace? Or a spiritual qi revival? None of those! The scariest thing is dying without knowing how or why. As long as I can keep my life, none of the problems above are a big deal! I’m not a native of this world, after all. As long as I don’t die, there will always be a day when these problems can be solved.
