The Emperor also orders Chi-Fu to distribute conscription notices to every family in China, which would require one man from each family to serve in the army. The General offers to set up troops around the city to protect the Emperor, but the Emperor orders the General to protect the people instead. Though his consul, Chi-Fu, doubts that the Huns could get past the Great Wall, the Emperor takes the threat seriously, especially when he learns that they are being led by the warlord Shan Yu. General Li reports that the Huns have invaded China. The Emperor appears near the beginning of the film and is seen holding a meeting with his generals.
A magenta "outline" of rectangular cloth is present over the front of the lower robes. His lower robes are mostly brown, though they are tan at the base. There is also a black and red crisscrossing pattern going over each of his shoulders. His upper robes are mostly yellow on both the inside and the outside, though the outside of his high collar is black. The Emperor dresses in elegant robes with black cuffs and furisode-esque sleeves and a wide, black obi-like sash. His hat is rectangular with a red base with a sky blue oval in its center, a yellow upper half, and a thin, rectangular, black strip of stiff cloth on the top. His hair is also white, though most of it is tucked into the hat or crown that he wears often. His eyes are black and his eyebrows are white and bushy. The Emperor is an old, thin man with a long white beard and mustache. The Emperor is also shown to take the threat of an invading enemy seriously instead of underestimating them, which is made especially apparent with his reaction upon learning that not only were the Huns invading China, but the leader of the invasion was Shan Yu. He also was shown to put his own people's protection above his own, as he stated that the Chinese Army should fend off the Huns instead of increasing security at the Forbidden City. He is also fearless, even when facing death, as despite being threatened with death by Shan Yu unless he surrendered, the Emperor calmly refused to submit, comparing the action to a mountain refusing to bend in the wind. The Emperor also cares for his subjects in a similar manner to a father, as evidenced by his addressing his subjects as being his "children" during the ceremony where Shan Yu was presumed killed. This shows that, regardless of what the rules may outline, he still knows when to give credit when it is due, making him a fair and reasonable man. Though he is aware of the strict rules that surround a woman's involvement in the army, the Emperor is one of the first to recognize Mulan for her bravery.
It is implied that he actually dislikes his consul Chi-Fu when he states that Mulan could have the misogynistic consul's own job. Contrary to his exterior, the Emperor is frank about certain topics, as seen in telling Shang that his (Shang's) tactics of winning Mulan over are wrong. The prominent aspect of the Emperor is his vast amount of knowledge and justice the Emperor is one of the most judicious characters in the series.
