Why do some people comment on Li Yu: As a poet, he is a myth, while as an emperor, he is a joke?

This is well-founded, because his poems are very good and stand out from the crowd in the style at that time, but he only knows pleasure regardless of state affairs, so he is not a good emperor.

Because as a poet, his whole style was clean, beautiful, fluent and catchy, which was rare at that time. He has been living in the harem, which is a place of intrigue, so it is not easy to live from birth, so learn to read people's faces. This is very sad for a child, so he yearns for freedom very much and wants to be a hermit and live in his own world.

But it happened that he had high material requirements and could not leave the palace. Because most poets live a hard life, not as carefree as he is. When most people are thinking about how to live, they are already enjoying life. So there is no such feeling of freedom in other people's poems. Because of his outstanding style, he is a fabulous poet.

But the emperor who indulged in it all day only knew how to drink and have fun, and indulged in his own world regardless of state affairs, so he was not a good emperor. Because after he came to power, he did not go to court diligently every day like other emperors, but indulged in three palaces and six courtyards, drinking and writing poems all day.

If he was disciplined before, no one dared to persuade him after he became emperor. Because of this, he gradually became more and more decadent. Just like this, he just has a woman's heart, a thick heart, generosity and kindness, and laughs at the guilty words of the dead remonstrator without any guilt. Therefore, he is not fit to be an emperor.
