Chapter 1707 The Shaking Power of Dare to Take All Responsibilities
If the emperor hadn't been calm and normal when dealing with the government affairs.
He even doubted whether the emperor was crazy about gaining and losing his heart because of lovesickness!
The next morning, it was the day when the Fourth Master issued a self-criticism.
He summoned the princes and ministers to worship in Kunning Palace.
A female shaman is dancing to the great god in Kunning Palace.
This is an activity in the Qing Dynasty.
The people of the Qing Dynasty believed that natural disasters and man-made disasters were punishments from God to the people of the world.
Therefore, we use the great god to seek the blessing of God.
In addition to the female shaman dancing god, there are also a group of lamas sitting in Kunning Palace to recite scriptures to pray for the victims in the disaster area.
The Fourth Master, facing the tablets of the ancestors, knelt on the front cushion.
The princes and ministers knelt in two rows behind him in an orderly manner.
After the female shaman finished his great god, he issued a "self-crime edict".
"Sincere Edict" is a unique political phenomenon in ancient times.
"Sincere yourself" means the emperor's "oral order" to blame him and reflect on himself.
Using the word "公" together becomes a document to report to the world.
Because in this feudal and superstitious ancient times, the people believed that natural disasters and man-made disasters might be because God was dissatisfied with the governance of His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, many emperors will issue self-destruction when there are major disasters.
There were fifteen emperors in history who issued a crime in the Han Dynasty.
Three Kingdoms and eight of the Tang Dynasty.
Seven ranks in the Song Dynasty, four ranks in the Yuan Dynasty, and three ranks in the Ming Dynasty.
Even Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi, who were in front of the Fourth Master, issued a self-destruction in the event of major disasters.
As emperors, they have to admit their mistakes in front of the common people, which is a helpless move.
Some people with high spirits admit their mistakes in order to perfunctory the people.
Of course, there are also some wise lords who are more sincere.
After all, the emperor loves the people as much as his son, worrys about the country, and wins the hearts of the people, can he win the world!
And the "Self-Sincere Edict" issued by the Fourth Master is as follows:
"Since my extreme control, I have been working hard to achieve the goal of complying with the heart of heaven and the people of the country... The land suddenly trembled, all because of my lack of virtue, political cooperation, and the great ministers and officials were unable to fulfill their common professions, so that the country's governance has not been achieved and the people's livelihood has not been defeated. This is my crime."
"The Ulanara family is a great family of meritorious deeds in all dynasties. They have been loyal throughout their lives and have served for many years. I cannot trust them. Letting this family be held in a row, Fei Yanggu died unjustly in prison. This is my crime."
"The queen is my original wife. I cannot trust her many times. The earthquake is coming and it is my fault that I fail to protect her."
"Now the yin and yang of the Qing Dynasty are in harmony, and disasters are intimidating. As the emperor, I should bear it all. This is God's condemnation to me. I am willing to be responsible to the people and to the entire Qing Dynasty."
"If I am guilty, don't implicate the world. If I am guilty, let me bear it alone!!!"
As soon as this self-criticism edict was released, everyone felt that their emperor had not just issued a self-criticism edict.
What they felt was full of sincerity.
Su Peisheng finally understood why the emperor had not rested these days before issuing the self-criticism edict, and was busy catching the affairs of the Ulanara family and the incident of the Imperial Heavenly Prison and the divination of disaster stars.
The purpose is to announce to the world that his queen and Ulanara family were both innocent when issuing a self-destruction.
And he wrongly accused this big family, and he even admitted his mistakes so sincerely.
Generally speaking, if an emperor says something, what he says is like water splashed out, and he will never think of taking it back after saying it.
Many emperors will not admit that they are wrong and wronged.
Because the imperial power is supreme, if he admits it, it will damage his imperial power.
In Su Peisheng's view, the Ulanara family's imprisonment was completely caused by the Fourteenth Master and the Queen Mother.
At the beginning, the matter was not clear, so the emperor naturally couldn't protect the Uranara family.
The emperor violated the law and was punished with the common people.
Only by first entering the prison, stabilizing the emotions of the ministers and the people, and then finding out the facts.
Even if it was found out, there were mother and brothers on one side and meritorious families on the other.
We have to expose this matter again due to the reputation of brothers and mother-son discord.
At this moment, the people behind the Fourth Master looked at the emperor who was once arrogant, but could admit their mistakes for his people, his ministers, and his women.
He is more charming in this way.
He is the master of the Qing Dynasty.
He brought the calmness and vicissitudes of a mature man and the courage to take on all responsibilities to the extreme.
Unfortunately, those people who lost their lives in the earthquake, Fei Yanggu who died in prison, and those who died in the earthquake, could no longer hear such a sincere self-criticism.
On this day, after the Fourth Master came back from Kunning Palace, he summoned Wuge to the study room.
At this moment, the king and his minister met for a long time.
The Fourth Master sat upright in front of the desk, holding his hands on the desk, and staring at the five squares with deep eyes.
The five squares kneel down and his mood is relatively depressed.
But he still said respectfully: "I thank the emperor for his kindness, and thank the emperor for letting our Uranara family clear our grievances and restore our entire family's innocence."
After saying that, he kowtowed three times.
"Your family has been released from prison?" asked the Fourth Master.
The man's voice was low, with a hint of guilt, as if he wanted to make up for some regrets.
Five characters: "If you go back to the emperor, you have been released from the prison and returned to the family."
Fourth Master: "Some people were injured in the earthquake. If so, ask them to go to the Ministry of Revenue to receive the consolation."
Five characters: "The family members were blessed in disguise. When the earthquake came, they were not in the prison, but were summoned to the farm by the Ministry of Justice's Prison."
"In the panic of the earthquake, they were all standing on the flat ground, only one person died, six were injured to varying degrees, and the rest were unscathed."
It was strange. According to him, most of the family's residences in the capital were seriously damaged.
It is conceivable that if the tribe members had not been imprisoned and went to the farm to work, there would have been many casualties.
Now that Ama is gone, he uses silver to unite the entire family.
First, the elderly and children were arranged in a house with mild damage and lived together.
Help each other and rebuild your home.
Fourth Master: "..."
Five characters: "And this time, if the emperor had not cleared the grievances for us, our entire family would have to behead us. The emperor's grace was so great that we would never forget. How could we go to the Ministry of Revenue to receive the consolation money?"
This time, all the clan members were sent to prison and the entire family fell into a passive state.
If the emperor was a wise ruler, they would have been cleared of their innocence.
But if the emperor is wrong and kills them in order to maintain his power, the entire Ulanara family will be finished.
Originally, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of yours.
What's more, the emperor is worthy of them and helps them clear their grievances.
As an emperor, the emperor is busy with state affairs every day, and helps them with love. Even if he doesn't help them find out, it will be his duty and he will not blame the emperor.
