Abstract
An emperor chooses tyranny for his status and kills all of the people who oppose him, but he will eventually pay the price for what he did and fall into hell.
This movie uses the life-threatening and dangerous relationship between the Chinese emperor and ministers to show a sad phenomenon in modern society. People often give up their original goals and justice for more money or sources. They gradually become walking dead, and those who bravely stand up will face threats such as unemployment, which will also ruin their lives.
Synopsis
At a meeting, the emperor wanted to issue another unreasonable order. A brave minister stepped forward and wanted to dissuade the emperor from continuing this wrong decision, but the emperor decided to kill all the people around him who contradicted his ideas to consolidate his position and not allow anyone to refute him. He refused to admit his mistakes and finally reached the point of no return. Those murdered souls haunted him like a nightmare and dragged him into the abyss.
