The Tyrant Is Obsessed with Looks

An assassin tried to kill the emperor, but failed and was captured.

Having heard that the emperor was cold-hearted and brutal, he only hoped for a quick death.

As it turned out, the emperor was an extreme admirer of good looks whose principles followed his eyes. Not only did he spare the assassin, he kept him in the palace and pampered him with the best food and drink.

He let him do whatever he pleased and indulged him in every way.

His ministers wept and pleaded.

"Your Majesty, this man is spreading lies to mislead the people."

The tyrant mused, "No, his face makes a convincing argument.

"He deserves to be executed by a thousand cuts!"

"I don't know what happened, but I'm sure he must be innocent."

"Your Majesty, he, he, he... He's trying to kill you again!"

The tyrant frowned. "But I'm not dead yet, am I?"

The ministers: We're tired. Let's just destroy everything! What a foolish, unrighteous ruler! The country is doomed! I'm done!
