Why can't they kill'em all off and usurp the throne??
People support isn't an issue, as truth is written by the victor.

what are you talking about? It happens at the end of every dynasty. Usually starts of with a 9 bestowments to a recipient, then usurpation of the throne by the recipient right afterward: The Xin dynasty usurped the Han for a brief moment, the Wei usurped the Han, then Jin usurped the Wei, founder of Sui also usurped the throne, I believe and the founder of Song also usurped the throne. "Son of heaven" doesnt mean shit in the end.
At the end of the day we come back to slavery and human trafficking. Even if it's over used line, we need to understand how rampant that was...or is.
More than that, her genius that lead to it needs to be applauded.
The fact that human trafficking probably still happens to this day but is hidden from the upstairs world is quite terrifying
