After hearing what His Majesty said, the minister below murmured softly.
Then a minister stood up directly and started talking.
"Your Majesty, I think that we in the Tang Dynasty should educate people with etiquette and teach the people to be good.
Although they were on death row, His Majesty released them all this time and allowed them to return home to visit their parents.
If they want to escape, they can absolutely escape.
However, they were inspired by the court, by His Majesty, and by His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness.
Even though they knew that they would definitely die if they came back, they all rushed back.
It can be seen from this that it was His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness that completely influenced these prisoners on death row.
Your Majesty should release all of them to fulfill your Majesty's benevolence.
At the same time, I also tell the people in this world about the benevolence and righteousness of my court."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other ministers nodded.
What these words say is absolutely true, what they say is absolutely true.
In this way, it can not only demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of our dynasty, but also enable all the people to actively do good.
Pretty good, pretty good.
Just hearing what they said, Li Er's old face was very ugly.
Then he looked at the others and asked.
"My dear friends, where are the others? Do you have different opinions on this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I think you can let them go.
In this way, I can demonstrate my benevolence and righteousness in the court, and at the same time, it can also make the people actively do good!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. I think this matter is absolutely impossible.
This group of people were already on death row because they violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
And it's still very serious, if it's an ordinary minor crime.
The Tang Dynasty granted amnesty to the whole world and celebrated it, so I let these people go and let them be positive.
But these prisoners on death row still ask Your Majesty to execute them to rectify the fairness and justice of our laws in the Tang Dynasty."
For a while, everyone began to discuss this matter again.
You say something, he says something, and Li Er sits quietly aside, watching them discuss the matter.
Seeing this group of people discussing one sentence after another, Li Er waved his hand and spoke.
"My dear friends, the matter you are discussing is nothing more than whether to release them or not?
In this case, I will explain this matter to you carefully.
I also have my own decision on this matter.
Come, tell me my will. I, the Tang Dynasty, will establish a country based on law and govern the country according to law.
Anyone who breaks the law will be severely punished by the law.
And he will not be freed because of his identity, not even I can.
When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone quietly.
"Everyone, I have given this group of death row prisoners a month to return to their hometown to visit their parents. This is the greatest kindness I have shown them.
At noon today, we took all of them out and chopped them down.
At the same time, tell this matter to the people of the world. No matter who in the world dares to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I will not forgive him lightly."
"My dear friends, what do you think of me doing this?"
After hearing what His Majesty said, all the ministers shouted, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
In fact, many people felt helpless. Many ministers knew about it and murmured in low voices.
What His Majesty said is nothing more than deceiving the common people.
Do you really think that the emperor can commit the same crimes as the common people?
Including other things that were said, everyone said that just listen, but you must remember not to take it seriously.
If you take it seriously, you really believe their lies.
Of course, these things were just whispered in my mouth.
"Everyone, I am not joking with you this time.
You also heard clearly what I said today.
I repeat, I am not making this joke on any of you, nor do I want to make this joke on any of you.
No matter who you are, whether you are a member of your family or someone else.
As long as you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, that's fine if I don't know about it.
If I find out, I will punish you according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.
Until then, please do not beg me for mercy in front of me. All I see are my laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty!
Did you all hear clearly?"
After hearing what His Majesty said, the ministers shouted, "I am waiting for you to receive the decree, Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, this matter will be handled by the government.
At the same time, I will inform the people all over the world to let them know the strictness of the laws of the Tang Dynasty and my attitude towards implementing the rule of law.
No matter who or what their identity is, as long as they violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they will be punished by law!"
"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The minister below shouted again. Li Er glanced at everyone and nodded secretly.
As expected, according to what the wise brother said, this matter is very convenient to deal with.
This time I must deal with the royal family and give a lecture. No one, not even a member of my royal family, is allowed to touch the laws of the court.
Don't let these people get in trouble when the time comes.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to do?"
"The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.
There is nothing else to do now.
Li Er waved his hand, if nothing happens, everyone, please retreat first.
As the order to withdraw from the imperial court was issued, the ministers shouted to see off His Majesty.
Li Er left this place, and all the ministers also left the court one after another.
I returned to Tai Chi Hall and started to be busy again.
On the other side of the Tianlao, the government received orders from His Majesty to supervise them personally, arrange manpower, and execute them all at noon.
At the same time, news came from the court.
Through documents, it spread throughout Chang'an City and beyond.
After hearing the contents of this document, all the staff murmured quietly.
Is it true or false? The court is really going to do this. Is it true or false?
Who knows, I hope it is true. How could the emperor commit the same crime as us common people?
Everyone looked at the documents issued by the court and murmured quietly.
After all, everyone has only heard this sentence, and it is only told to everyone in this way.
At the same time, new doubts arose.
As a qualified emperor, he must not only understand what the people are thinking, but also allow the people freedom of speech and allow them to say what they want to say.
Just like this time, people were talking about it and it reached his ears.
For Li Er, such comments from the common people are perfectly normal.
A king should make clear rewards and punishments, and know what the people are thinking, so that they can formulate corresponding strategies to deal with emergencies.
At the same time, when this incident came out, Li Er felt that what his wise brother said was so accurate.
These people really don't understand anything. It's a waste of your time to explain things to them.
So for the common people, the more important thing is to make it visible and tangible.
Only what is visible and tangible is real to everyone.
He began to send people to spread the message again, asking all the royal families and nobles in the entire Tang Dynasty to restrain themselves and not allow them to break the law.
Eat, drink and have fun as you want, I will never pay attention to them. If you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is your own son, you will be punished as you should.
For Li Er at this moment, the implementation of this law is not only for himself, but also for suppression.
I hope no one will touch my hand, otherwise!
On the other side, the clan members returned home, gathered together, and began to study again.
Mainly because of the words spoken in the court today, everyone felt that the emperor was trying to point them out.
But there was no direct naming.
But it doesn’t matter, what if it’s being targeted?
There are some things that everyone still knows very well in their hearts.
There is no need to say things outright.
If I said it simply and crudely, I would ask you, do you still want to be friends and have fun?
Don’t you really think that when the so-called emperor breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people?
If you all believe this, it means there is something wrong with your head.
Of course, some people were very cautious, and after hearing this, they started to whisper.
It is better to try to arrange for the children in the family to be more restrained from now on.
Don't make trouble casually, otherwise, what if something really happens?
"Hey, don't worry, everyone, since the emperor likes to do these things, doesn't he?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be enough if we take the initiative and get this matter started?”
Those relatives of the royal family, let me ask you, are everyone’s hands clean?
As long as their hands are not clean, isn't it particularly easy to deal with?
Come, pass on my orders and arrange for people to go down.
The main thing is to send people to the royal families' territories to search for evidence.
Let's keep this matter under control first.
In this way, even if the children of their clan really show up at the court to say so.
At that time, with your royal family in front of you, I just want to see how you, the emperor, should handle this matter?
Thinking of this, everyone laughed.
I wanted to dig a hole, but in the end I found that the hole was a little too deep and no one could bear it.
So we can only obediently solve those things through these means.
"Okay everyone, let's arrange the people first.
Let them collect evidence of their mistakes. Only if the court stops causing trouble, everyone will remain safe.
If something happens in the court, there will be corresponding methods waiting for them."
"Drive, drive, drive."
Just when everything here was going according to plan, near noon, a team of a hundred people arrived outside Chang'an City.
Everyone stopped and looked up.
The people around him stopped and watched quietly.
These people were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and from their clothes and appearance, it could be seen that the people accompanying them were not from the Tang Dynasty, just like the surrounding foreign races.
Everyone looked up and saw Chang'an City, looking at this huge city, and felt a sense of emotion in their hearts again.
Why are their cities in the Tang Dynasty so tall?
It was taller than all the cities they passed as they headed east.
They had never seen such a city in Tubo.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts began to overflow again.
Doesn't it mean that if they can capture this city, they can live in this prosperous city?
Everyone can see the good things.
These good things are no less than a hundred times better than the environment they lived in Tubo.
But without the Prime Minister's order, everyone just thought quietly in their hearts and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
After all, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It is the first time to deal with this group of Tang people. It is not yet clear how strong these Tang people are.
Just like a tiger won't attack quickly when it sees a donkey for the first time, it also has to explore the donkey's true strength.
"Report, report, report to Your Majesty, news came from outside Chang'an City that the Tibetan people have arrived outside Chang'an City.
Now I am waiting quietly outside the city while your Majesty makes your decision!"
"I really didn't expect that this group of people would come so quickly. The speed is quite fast.
If someone comes to convey my wishes, let this group of people go to Honglu Temple to rest for a while.
Tomorrow, take them to the court to see me!"
"It's Your Majesty."
Lu Dongzan looked at everything in front of him quietly, unmoved.
Because when they come to other people's territory, they know what to say and what not to say.
After a moment, a group of guards from the city hurried out, looked up at them and said.
"Are you all the Tibetan envoys?
Following His Majesty's order, I took a group of envoys to Honglu Temple to rest.
Envoys, come with me."
Waiting for tomorrow, all envoys will go to the palace to meet with me, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!
"Thank you, my lords."
"Enter the city!"
As the order to enter the city was issued, everyone began to enter the city and headed towards Honglu Temple.
On the way to Honglu Temple, we could see with the naked eye that there were many people rushing towards one side quickly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Dongzan felt doubtful and asked.
"My lords, the people in front of you, are you here to see some excitement?"
After hearing the inquiry from the Tibetan envoy, the officials of Honglu Temple told the story.
At noon today, all the prisoners on death row will be beheaded in the court hall.
Behead the prisoner?
Then the man told the cause and effect.
We, the Tang Dynasty, suppressed all the Turks in the north, and our Majesty, the Tang Dynasty, granted amnesty to the world.
Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. Originally, these prisoners on death row should be beheaded in public at the end of autumn.
But His Majesty gave them one month and allowed them to return to their hometown to visit their parents.
Just return to Chang'an City within 30 days.
Not long after the 30th, all 300 death row inmates had arrived.
It's just that today the envoys arrived at Chang'an City, so you can see what happened today.
After hearing what the Tang officials said, Lu Dongzan nodded.
But there is a strange feeling in my heart.
How come they are so accurate in timing? It feels like they are trying to give the Tubo people a kick in the ass?
"I really didn't expect that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty would be so benevolent and righteous.
The people of the Tang Dynasty also valued credit so much."
If this matter were dealt with in Tubo, Lu Dongzan felt that since they were on death row, he would either kill them directly or let them go.
They were given the opportunity to return to their hometowns for a visit on the 30th, and allowed to come back after the 30th to carry out the execution.
He felt that through their Taobao operation, some of the death row prisoners might actually come back.
But the vast majority must have escaped.
After all, no one wants to die. As long as they can live, no one wants to come back and die?
"Hahahaha, all this is due to the rigor of my Datang Law, the fairness and justice of my Datang Law.
I, the Tang Dynasty, will not wrongly accuse any good person, and at the same time, I will not let any bad person go, hahahaha.
Okay, everyone, let’s go.”
"Kill well, kill well.
Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
From beginning to end, there were some spectators who stood aside and watched quietly.
The decree from the court was also passed over and reached everyone's ears, and everyone cheered.
