Holding memorial services for his father who was murdered without any crime and sometimes retaliating against the murderer Yuryaku, the Emperor is said to have conducted the affairs of the state with love for the common people, which arose from his experience of having had a tough time in far-off places.
罪無くして死んだ父を弔い、また父の雪辱を果たすべく雄略への復讐に走ることもあったが、長く辺土で苦労した経験から民衆を愛する政治を執ったと伝えられる。
