The current emperor is old and has been reluctant to abdicate.
All five sons were made kings, but they still refused to leave Beijing and the emperor didn't care.
Several princes watched as their sons were almost adults, but they themselves had not even touched the throne.
So I immediately became anxious.
Several people colluded with court officials and framed others, and each one was more adept than the other.
In order to make money, some of them secretly increased taxes in their own fiefdoms, making life miserable for the people.
Many officials would quarrel with each other in the court in order to gain the credit of following the emperor.
The more this happened, the calmer the emperor sitting on the high throne became, and the more confident he was.
It was in this situation that Ji Bohui finally made up his mind after thinking for several months.

After saying this, he drew out the guard's sword and committed suicide.
Although he died, the emperor's anger was hard to dissipate.
If this death were to become known, wouldn't he be branded with infamy?
As a result, the entire Ji family could escape the death penalty, but could not escape punishment for their crimes.
Even so, I still have to kneel down to thank the emperor for his grace.
