Calling him muddle-headed might be unfair; aside from his intent to dispatch troops to punish the Xie brothers, his governance bore few errors. He was diligent and decisive, supported Lin Helin's examination reforms, collaborated with the Ministry of Revenue during spring plowing, and refrained from indulging in the wealth plundered from the Su Family and the Feng Family. He did not build extravagant structures or revel in debauchery. On the contrary, he devoted himself tirelessly to his duties, demonstrating commendable diligence.
Except for his decisions regarding Feng Shu and the execution of Marquis Zhenbei Mansion, the civil and military officials found little to criticize, for Yuwen Jing was far from being a foolish and tyrannical emperor.
As such, the toughest burden fell squarely on the civil and military officials!
