I basically read what everyone here is quick to say to laugh at him at having gone from emperor to broomsweep, but apparently he was actually an example of an excellent success at bringing him down to earth with his fellow countrymen. No one here ever mentions this aspect; I only discovered this when I got curious and looked up his wikipedia page.

I kinda want to see an anime about this. Give it a terrible isekai title: "I used to be the ruler of the kingdom and now I sweep the streets"

Do you think Coldplay's Viva la Vida was about the Emporer of China? Here's the first chorus:

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning, I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own
