Event: Your people are growing restless, noble leaders of the Song Dynasty, because your seclusion and inactivity leads some of them to doubt your existence. Why would they hoist the banner of your Emperor, and pay taxes to your tax collectors, when they aren't sure if that banner actually represents anyone, or if their hard earned taxes are actuallu going anywhere. How will you show to your people that you are actually living, corporeal entities on this Earth?

Option 1: We must grant our citizens additional freedoms to distract them from the fact that we do not actually exist. They'd obviously much rather live under a nonexistent benevolent ruler than an existent tyrannical ruler, after all.

Option 2: Our people speak of treason? Deploy the army, and make sure they know what happens to traitors!

Option 3: Our people believe us to be incorporeal, questionably-existent entities, eh? That obviously means that they believe us to be gods! Send out missionaries to convert our people to the Imperial Cult immediately!

Option 4: Eh, who cares what the ignorant peasants think. We know that we're real, and that's all that matters. Let's continue focusing our attention solely on internal matters of the Imperial Court.
