They executed the Archbishop on the grounds that he disrespected His Majesty.
This struck Yang Ming as somewhat ridiculous.
The Archbishop of the Imperial Civilization Development Divine Sect, after all, was nominally one of the top five influential figures in the Empire. The Emperor had him strangled just like that?
What crime was 'disrespecting His Majesty'?
Of course, this had nothing to do with him directly.
What was interesting was, Yang Ming also found several assessment reports about 'White Ghost Hanton' in the archives of the organization.
The reports were quite fair, pointing out Hanton's ambition to obtain a noble title and extensive influence, as well as highly praising the outstanding contributions made by the White Ghost to the Empire.
These assessment reports greatly influenced the Emperor's perception of Yang Ming.
