It would be too paranoid to say that civil servants bring disaster to the country and the people. A country cannot function without civil servants, but if civil servants are held in high esteem, it is the same way to the destruction of the country.

The reason why the Jiajing Dynasty was so dark was half the reason for the emperor and half the reason for the civil servants.
