Chapter 927 Please write a decree for your sins

The edict of guilt!

As the name suggests, the edict of self-crime is an edict used by a person to state his own sins and faults.

To put it bluntly, it is a high-standard version of the review and confession.

But the problem is that since it is an edict, only the emperor can issue it.

As the supreme leader of the entire national regime in the feudal era, the emperor had his family, the whole family inheritance, and the whole people and the people of the world belonged to the emperor. Could he be wrong?

The emperor must maintain his image of being always right, never making mistakes, and always sacred.

Otherwise, once the image collapses, the emperor will have another nickname: the foolish monarch.

Once an edict is issued for guilt, it means that the emperor himself admits that he is a fool.

Therefore, looking at the entire Chinese history, there are only a few emperors who have issued a self-destruction.

And they were almost all guilty in one case.

When the state regime is facing internal and external troubles and is about to perish.

At this time, in order to win people's hearts, to solidify the cohesion of civil and military officials around him, and to make them work harder for themselves, the emperor would write a decree for himself.

The general meaning is that I know that I didn’t do well in the past and did a lot of things wrong. Now I know that I’m wrong and confess my guilt to the whole world. You can continue to work hard for me.

Almost none of the emperors who wrote the edict of guilt had a good ending.

Therefore, the symbolic significance of this thing is far greater than the actual significance.

Its symbolic meaning is to destroy the sacredness of the emperor.

At present, Li Chen is the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire and has the power to supervise the country, so he can issue an edict to punish himself.

The purpose of this self-criticism is to destroy the possibility of his ascension to the throne.

Let me ask, when you are the prince, you admit that you are not capable and make constant mistakes. How can such a prince become a qualified emperor?

So when Li Yinhu made his request, the already quiet Palace of Supreme Harmony became even more silent.

It was obvious that there were people standing, but no sound was heard.

There was a bit of cold and terrifying atmosphere on the entire solemn Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After saying his words, Li Yinhu lowered his head and waited for Li Chen's storm.

According to their calculations yesterday, Li Chen would never be able to write this self-criticism, and would definitely be furious.

However, Li Yinhu's mission ended here.

His function is to make Li Chen angry, and Zhao Xuanji and the others will come forward for what happened next.

What Li Yinhu didn't expect was that what he was waiting for was not Li Chen's roar and questioning, but a silence like death.

I don’t know how long this silence that made people feel uncomfortable lasted, but Li Chen’s voice came from above.

"Why does King Zhao feel that the palace has chaoticized the court rules and chaos in the court, but he doesn't say what is it?"

Li Yinhu frowned.

What exactly matters are still important?

Isn’t it important that the interests of both sides are tug-of-war?

But when he was in front of him, Zhao Xuanji had no intention of speaking at this time. Li Yinhu could only grit his teeth and replied: "Your Highness's wedding was a good thing for everyone to celebrate, but Your Highness used the name of a wedding to impose bribes on the court and demanded bribes from all the civil and military officials in a righteous and open manner. Many officials from the court were worried about this matter."

"The salary of my Qin officials is not high, and it is difficult to support the family and the young. Your Highness also asks them to pay money to satisfy His Highness. Isn't this forcing all civil and military officials to go to the lower level to greed for the people and increase the taxes on their own?"

"Even if Your Highness is like this, how can you not follow the example?"
