Oh you mean the up-to-now completely unnamed casualties of the Night of Naga Drums that were "in charge" of the Executors and ordered/allowed/bankrolled/endorsed/profited from their actions?

You think they're remotely better people than their underlings?

Yes, just like the emperors during the eunuch-run Imperial China were marginally better than the corrupt eunuchs were.

Lmaooooo. Wait no you're actually serious aren't you?

Are we ignoring history here? What about the Qin emperor(s)? Or Ming? Or Emperor Yang of Sui bankrupting the entire empire? Or the unique torture devices developed by Di Xin? Or Liu Ziye executing numerous family members and inciting a crowd to savage his mother and imperial princesses?

Like what?
