Hearing what the official from the Ministry of Justice said, Li Er waved his hand.
"Okay, I already know this, and I'll call you here today.
It's because I accidentally got a passage and asked you to analyze it for me and see how it goes."
"It's Your Majesty."
"There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted. What do you think of these 12 words?"
When the official from the Ministry of Punishment heard what the Holy One said, he murmured a few words in a low voice.
Then he frowned, looking very troubled.
Then they evacuated and quickly looked up at His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wonderful, wonderful.
I wonder who came from His Majesty’s 12-character motto?
In just 12 words, the essence of the law can be explained so thoroughly?
Presumably, the person who can say this must be a very accomplished person in Legalism.
Confucianism is prevalent in the Tang Dynasty today. Of course, besides Confucianism, there are still other doctrines that some people are studying.
For example, the people in their Criminal Department are all people who studied Legalism.
In the court, some positions can be replaced by other people.
But if the personnel of their punishment department arrange for some people who study Confucianism to go there, who knows how the law will be established.
For them, the law itself is a violent institution through which people are forced to comply.
But when I heard His Majesty say these words today, he directly stated all the ultimate pursuits of their laws.
As he spoke, he was filled with emotion.
Hahahaha, when Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but laugh too.
"Yes, these 12 words of motto were indeed obtained by me from the hands of an expert.
I decided to reward the Ministry of Punishment with these 12 words of motto.
You can keep these 12 pieces in your mind at all times.
In this way, we must know at all times how important this Ministry of Punishment is to us, the Tang Dynasty."
"This is Your Majesty, I will take your orders."
Everyone decided that after returning home, they would directly arrange for someone to engrave it and hang it next to their bed and in their office, so that they could supervise themselves anytime and anywhere.
"Oh, by the way, how did you see the 300 death row prisoners returning to Chang'an City?
How do you think things should be handled?"
The official from the Ministry of Punishment thought for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I think that since these people have already broken the law and violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Originally, they were all supposed to be executed this fall, all of them mortal.
It was only because of His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness that he granted amnesty to the whole world and spared their lives for a month.
Even so, since they have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they should all be executed in accordance with the law.
This will correct the fairness and justice of our laws and regulations in the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing this, Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, what you said is exactly what I thought.
The sacredness of the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be touched by anything.
No one, no matter what their identity, can break the rules of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is me.
When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
Please reiterate this sentence to me so that all the people in the Tang Dynasty can know it."
"It is His Majesty's humble minister who takes the order."
"Okay, if nothing happens, let's make arrangements first."
"Your Majesty's humble minister is resigning."
After the officials from the Ministry of Punishments left, Li Er picked up the memorial beside him and started working again.
Just when I was writing, an urgent report rushed over.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Xi is coming from the front. It will take at most two days for the Tibetan envoy to reach Chang'an City. Your Majesty, please make your decision."
"Oh, these Tubo children, do you think they're here so quickly?
Come, tell me my decree. If these Tibetan children come to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, let Honglu Temple settle them on their own."
"It's Your Majesty."
Hearing that the Tubo boy was coming to Chang'an, Li Er took a deep breath.
I hope things will not be like what my dear brother said, otherwise these Tubo children will be destroyed by themselves!
This Central Plains, even after such a long time, I didn't expect it to still be so prosperous.
Along the way, Lu Dongzan felt emotional as he saw the prosperity of the Central Plains.
I came to the Central Plains many years ago, and I was deeply attracted by the plants, trees, and other things in this Central Plains.
Today, I have come to the Central Plains again. Although the Central Plains has changed dynasties, everything still feels very familiar and cordial.
"I wonder, General, how long will it take for us to reach Chang'an City?"
"To reply to the envoy, if we follow this speed, we will be able to reach Chang'an City by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Envoy, please don't be anxious."
"Thank you, General."
After asking, Lu Dongzan sighed in his heart.
When I was in the Sui Dynasty, I had no chance to meet the king of the Sui Dynasty.
But now he is on a mission to replace his own country, and he wants to come to the Tang Dynasty and meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
My heart couldn't help but be extremely excited.
It's just that unlike in the past, he is also the Prime Minister of Tubo, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
This time, I am not representing myself, but the whole of Tubo.
"All the officers and men are following closely, drive, drive, drive."
