I think he has little regard for the empire and in the end his thoughts are about Empire and how it exists to stay alive and is not natural or a part of the natural circle of life. He wanted to influence a change but one man alone can not be "justice".
He thinks the Empire is fine when it is far away from the borders and doing what it does best however he believes it is in the wrong when it comes out to the borders and imposes its will with no understanding of the nature of the land or the people who survive there.
