The two who had just been dragged out to be executed by Ling Chi were dragged back again. After hearing the latest disposition, the two were so pleasantly surprised that they almost couldn't believe their ears.
This was the first time in so many years that His Majesty the Emperor swallowed the imperial decree that had already been issued.
"You two go back... treat these two women kindly." His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice, "The two lovers are right, and I... cannot absolve myself of the blame for this matter! When the case is clear, I... will naturally face the world." , the next Edict of Guilt, exempt from taxation for five years, give all separated families a share of compensation, and make the greatest confession I can make to the people of this world!"
The eyes of civil and military officials were filled with tears, and they knelt down at the same time: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Now, although no matter how much compensation is made, it cannot make up for the pain of losing a loved one, nor can it make up for the innocence of those women, but... His Majesty the Emperor still realized his mistake after all.
This attitude is enough.
Because, even if it is not enough, there is no other way...
"Wang Shangshu, continue talking." His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Wanyan Baihualou, for so many years, the wealth extracted from these poor women is... 6.3... billion! Silver!"
When old man Wang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, read out this number, his whole thin body trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "At present, all of this money has disappeared..."
The ministers were dumbfounded!
My goodness, there is so much money? !
So much money was squeezed out of a bunch of poor women, so it is conceivable what happened to these women...
"This matter should be legislated! This matter should be recorded forever, and none of my people, Emperor Chen, can forget it!"
The faint voice of His Majesty the Emperor came out.
"This matter is the greatest shame of my Emperor Chen's Kingdom since the founding of the Taizu! The first shame! The chief culprit is none other than my son... I, this father, cannot escape the blame!"
"..."
"From then on, the imperial palace will set up a stele of shame, and I decree here! From now on, every monarch, every prince, and princess of the Chen Emperor Kingdom, since the beginning of literacy, the first thing to learn and keep in mind is this. The content of the stele of shame; every month, read the stele of shame aloud! Anyone who dares to commit crimes again will be executed immediately, and there will be no mercy!"
"The second prince's deeds are insane, his crime is unforgivable, and he passed the decree to remove his royal status, cut off the king's title, and make him the number one sinner in the ages. His body was thrown into the wilderness. This beast..."
Before His Majesty finished speaking, his chest rose and fell sharply, his face flushed suddenly, and his eyes were obviously extremely angry.
Suddenly there was a sudden gasp, and with a "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out.
puff!
Before the Wang Jie, it was all bright red!
"His Majesty!"
The ministers exclaimed for a while.
"I'm fine!" His Majesty the Emperor panted, raised his head, his eyes were dull: "I'm just so angry with that beast; now that I spit out this blood, I feel much more comfortable..."
"Since I ascended the throne, I have long wished that the world of Emperor Chen will be peaceful, that the people will live and work in peace and joy, and that the country will be prosperous and the people peaceful. , there is no forgiveness, I am a king and a father, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. The same crime is heinous, and the same crime is unforgivable. Here, I am guilty of my own edict, and I am a vigilant empress. The people are even worse, the king is the lightest, and the descendants of the Chen family must not forget what I said today, and the pain that is personal, must not be forgotten for a day!"
"But if there is forgetting, God forsaken it!"
"Furthermore, this time the killings by these unknown killers are for the sake of heaven, for the country, and for the people..." His Majesty the Emperor sighed, "If it is only aimed at the target involved in the case of Wanyan Baihualou... Let me start... I forgive him for his innocence; I strictly order the government offices everywhere not to obstruct him, let alone fight with him!"
Of the two decrees, if we say that the first one is "an edict of guilt", it is still reasonable and everyone can understand it. The latter decree about "pardoning" and even "letting go" and "indulging" the murderer is not only very unexpected, but also unprecedented. the kind of person.
Knowing that someone is massacring in his own country, he has already killed more than 100,000 people, and he is likely to continue to kill, but the emperor issued an imperial decree: The murderer is not guilty!
This... what kind of statement is this
But no one stood up to oppose it. Firstly, if they objected, wouldn’t they be standing on the opposite side of the people? Secondly, the reason is the same as before. What if the gang of killers regard me as the second prince’s remnant party? , I'd better shut up!
Several ministers of the Ministry of Rites looked bitter. They were responsible for drafting the imperial edicts of the world. Although His Majesty said so, the content of the imperial edicts cannot be drafted just like this. If this is true, then how to face the world? common people
There must be another way of saying it. Why can't it just be sent out with the original flavor of the soup.
"Aiming at this vicious case of Wanyan Baihualou, the whole country will act in unison! Convict again, deal with it severely, and investigate to the end! I will absolutely not allow any fish that slip through the net!"
"From now on, all brothels in Emperor Chen's kingdom..." His Majesty the Emperor said this with a stern voice, and suddenly stopped talking.
The ministers raised their heads in panic when they heard the words.
Staring at His Majesty the Emperor aloft.
Your Majesty doesn't want to ban all brothels, does he
Couldn't it be because your own son opened a brothel once and caused something to happen, and you plan to wipe out all the brothels in the whole world
If that happens, the country will really be in chaos...
Brothels, although notorious and vulgar, are indispensable leisure and entertainment places in the world today... This involves the interests of countless dignitaries. If it is really closed, it may lead to The riots will be hundreds of millions...all nobles and rich!
At the very least... Those women who seem to be free, but actually have nowhere to go, will starve to death...
After years of fighting, there are more boys and girls in all major countries. Even if the ratio is three to one, it can no longer be achieved... and women are inherently weak...
"The world's brothels... Strictly investigate and deal with them. Once it is found that there are people who force women into prostitution and buy and sell people..." His Majesty the emperor obviously thought a lot, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Once found, he will be executed immediately, the whole family will be executed, and the nine clans will be exterminated." !"
"In addition, from now on, no place within the borders of Emperor Chen's kingdom is allowed to have such a business as a trainer! All the trainers in the brothel Chuguan will be included in the list of Ling Chi, and they will be arrested immediately and killed without pardon! Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment , This matter is entrusted to you, and if there is a fish that slips through the net, then I will use the lives of your whole family to make up for it!"
His majesty's imperial decree is full of murderous aura and domineering aura!
