Chapter 1588 The Shocking Courage to Take All Responsibilities

If it weren't for the emperor's calm and normal appearance when dealing with government affairs.

He even wondered if the emperor had lost his mind because of lovesickness!

In the early morning of the next day, it was the day when the fourth master issued an edict to sin against himself.

He summoned princes and ministers to sacrifice in Kunning Palace.

A female shaman dances to the Great God in Kunning Palace.

This is an activity of the Qing Dynasty.

People in the Qing Dynasty believed that natural disasters and man-made disasters were punishments from heaven to the people all over the world.

Therefore, I hope to get the blessing of God by jumping to the gods.

In addition to the female shaman dancing the Great God, there are also a group of lamas sitting in the Kunning Palace and chanting scriptures to pray for the victims in the disaster area.

Fourth master faced the tablets of the ancestors and knelt on the front futon.

The princes and ministers lined up neatly and knelt in two rows behind him.

After the female shaman finished dancing the big god, he issued a "crime order".

"Guilty Edict" is a unique political phenomenon in ancient times.

"Guilt yourself" is the emperor's "word of mouth" to blame and introspect himself.

Used together with the word "zhao", it becomes a document for edicting the world.

Because in this feudal and superstitious ancient times, the common people believed that natural disasters and man-made disasters might be because the heavens were dissatisfied with the governance of their emperor.

Therefore, throughout the ages, many emperors would issue their own imperial edicts when major disasters occurred.

In history, there were fifteen emperors who committed crimes against themselves in the Han Dynasty.

Three in the Three Kingdoms and eight in the Tang Dynasty.

Seven in the Song Dynasty, four in the Yuan Dynasty, and three in the Ming Dynasty.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi before the fourth master had issued imperial edicts to sin against themselves during major disasters.

As emperors, they have to admit their mistakes in front of the common people, which is purely helpless.

Some high-spirited people, in order to perfunctory the common people, admit their mistakes deliberately.

Of course, there are also some wise men who are more sincere.

After all, the Son of Heaven loves the people like a son, cares about the community, and only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world!

And the "Edict of Guilt" issued by Fourth Master is as follows:

"Since I have been in the imperial court, I have worked hard to pursue it. I hope that the heart of heaven will be in harmony with the sky, and the people will be peaceful and peaceful... The sudden earthquake in the earth is all because of my lack of virtue, lack of political harmony, and the inability of ministers and workers to work together. As a result, the governance of the country has not been achieved. Failure to succeed in people's livelihood is one of my crimes."

"The Ulanala family is a great family with meritorious service in four dynasties. I can't trust it. It is my crime to let this family sit together and Fei Yanggu die unjustly in prison."

"The queen is my first spouse. I have been unable to trust her many times. When the earthquake came, I failed to protect her. It is my fault."

"Nowadays, Yin and Yang are not in harmony in the Qing Dynasty, and disasters are a warning. As the emperor, I should bear the responsibility. This is God's condemnation to me. I am willing to be responsible to the common people, and I am also willing to be responsible to the entire Qing Dynasty."

"If I am guilty, don't implicate the world. If the world is guilty, let me alone!!!"

As soon as this edict of guilt came out, everyone felt that their emperor did not just issue an edict of guilt.

What they felt was full of sincerity.

And Su Peisheng finally understood why the emperor didn't take a break these few days before issuing the imperial edict, busy investigating the affairs of the Ulanara family and the Qin Tianjian's divination of disaster stars.

The purpose is to declare to the world that his queen and the Ulanara family are innocent when he sins against himself.

And he wronged this big family, and he admitted his mistake so sincerely.

Generally speaking, the emperor kept his promises, and what he said was like water poured out. Once he said it, he would never want to take it back.

Even if many emperors were wrong and wronged someone, they would not admit it.

Because the imperial power is supreme, if he admits it, it will damage his imperial prestige.

From Su Peisheng's point of view, the imprisoning of the Ulanara family was entirely the fault of the Fourteenth Master and the Queen Mother.

At the beginning, the matter was not investigated clearly, so the emperor naturally did not want to shield the Ulanara family.

When the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people.

The only way to do this is to go to prison first, stabilize the emotions of the ministers and the people, and then find out the facts.

Even if it is found out, it is the mother and brother on the one hand, and the meritorious family on the other.

He has to bear the reputation of being at odds between his brothers and mother and son, and then expose this matter.

At this moment, the people behind fourth master looked at the emperor who was aloof in the past, but he was able to admit his mistakes for his people, his courtiers, and his woman.

In this way, he is even more attractive.

He is the master of Qing Dynasty.

He brought the calmness and vicissitudes of a mature man to the extreme, as well as the shocking courage to take all responsibilities.

It's a pity that those people who lost their lives in the earthquake, Fei Yanggu who died in prison, and the people who died in the earthquake, never heard such a sincere edict of guilt again.

On this day, after Fourth Master came back from Kunning Palace, he summoned Wuge to the study.

At this moment, the two monarchs and ministers met after a long absence.

Fourth Master was sitting in front of the desk, clasped his hands, propped it on the desk, and looked deeply at Wuge.

Wuge knelt down, feeling rather depressed.

But he still respectfully said: "This servant would like to thank the emperor Long En, thank the emperor for letting our Ulanara family clear their grievances and return our entire family's innocence."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times in a row.

"Your family members have all been released from prison?" Fourth Master asked.

The man's voice was low, revealing a hint of guilt, as if he wanted to make up for some regrets.

Wuge: "If you go back to the emperor, you have already been released from the prison and returned to the family."

Fourth Master: "Are there any people who were injured in the earthquake? If so, tell them to go to the Ministry of Households to receive relief money."

Five grids: "The family members of the family were blessed by misfortune. When the earthquake came, they were not in the prison, but were summoned to the farm by the prison supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment."

"In the panic of the earthquake, they were all standing on the flat ground. Only one person died, six people were injured to varying degrees, and the rest were unscathed."

It was strange to say that, as far as he knew, most of the family members' mansions in the capital suffered serious damage.

It is conceivable that if the clansmen hadn't been imprisoned and worked on the farm, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Now that Ama is gone, he used money to unite the whole family.

First, the elderly and children were arranged to live together in a slightly damaged house.

Let's help each other rebuild our homes.

Fourth Master: "..."

Wu Ge: "And this time, if the emperor hadn't cleared up our grievances for us, our whole family would have to be executed. The emperor's kindness is so great that we will never forget it. How can we go to the Ministry of Households to receive the consolation money?"

This time, the whole family went to prison, and the whole family fell into a passive state.

If the emperor is a wise king, he will definitely return their innocence.

But if the emperor, in order to maintain the imperial prestige, made mistakes and killed them, then the entire Ulanara family would be finished.

Originally, thunder, rain and dew were all due to the grace of the king.

What's more, the emperor was worthy of them and helped them get rid of their grievances.

As an emperor, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and it is his duty to help them. Even if he does not help them find out, it is also his duty, and he cannot blame the emperor.
