The court dispersed, and His Majesty Li Er called Fang Xuanling, Yang Fan, Changsun Wuji and others to Ganlu Hall.

As soon as he saw Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er asked with a gloomy face: "How can you, a slut, make such a bet? Do you know the consequences of failure?"

At this time, His Majesty Li Er glared at the eyes, wishing he could beat this kid to death.

It was ridiculous that I just praised this kid for making a good fuss, but in a blink of an eye, I did such a thing that had no chance of winning.

If Cui Fanbo wins, would he really have to issue an edict to blame himself?

What exactly is the "Self-Crime Edict" that makes His Majesty Li Er so scared?

The "Exception of Sin of Sin" is actually an imperial document used by ancient emperors to reflect on their own sins.

In current terms, this is an oral or edict or edict for the king to reflect on himself, and it is usually issued in three situations.

First, the emperor did something wrong.

Second, natural disasters and man-made disasters cause people to suffer, and these natural disasters and man-made disasters are closely related to the emperor.

Third, when the regime is about to overthrow, its intention is to blame itself, but the circumstances are different.

Of course, some emperors have ulterior motives to gain a better reputation.

In terms of its origin, it should start with Yu and Tang. Since then, King Cheng of Zhou, Duke Mu of Qin, and Emperor Wu of Han... have issued edicts for guilt.

Most of the imperial edicts for guilt were issued when class contradictions were extremely sharp and the country was in danger. The purpose was to eliminate public grievances and win over the hearts of the people.

However, it also contains to a certain extent the emperor's reflection and repentance towards his own faults and failures.

In Li Er's opinion, the imperial edict of guilt must not be issued.

If you issue an edict to guilt, your reputation will be infamous for thousands of years!

Dayu issued an edict to punish himself!

It is said that after Dayu ascended the throne, he saw the sinner and cried in pain.

The people asked him quickly, and Dayu replied: "When Yao and Shun were in power, everyone could stick to their true hearts, but when I ascended the throne, there would be people who committed crimes. It was really heartbreaking. This is my fault. I want to apologize to the people of the world."

Speaking of which, the criminal has nothing to do with him. Dayu’s actions are just to win people’s hearts. It has a great performance element, and is to show people the appearance of charity and benevolence.

Shang Tang, the pioneer of the Shang Dynasty, also issued an edict to guilty himself. On the way to conquer Jie of Xia, he announced the orthodox nature of his regime to the princes in the world.

He complained about the tyranny of the Xia Dynasty and told the princes that the responsibility for destroying Xia was that he had nothing to do with others, and he took all his faults on him.

Shang Tang said: "If you have good deeds, I will not dare to obscure them; if I should bear the sins, I will not dare to forgive myself, but only in the heart of God. If you have any sins, you will give me one person; if you have any sins, you will not be able to give me one person."

After the "Self-Sin" was issued, the princes' concerns were abolished one after another, and they all joined the new king Shang Tang.

Since then, Shang Tang established his prestige among the princes.

Shang Tang's responsible spirit was also admired by later generations.

After all, this time the imperial edict was actually to appease the princes. Shang Tang issued the imperial edict in the manner of a victorious edict.

His Majesty Li Er's situation this time is completely different because he was forced by a large family.

Originally, His Majesty Li Er had an inappropriate position and was diligent in trying to be a good emperor, just to gain a good reputation?

If you commit a self-criticism now, you will never be able to clean up this life!

It is even more impossible to make Li Er give up the imperial examination reform.

Because his ambition was to try his best to weaken the power of the aristocratic families and push the Tang Empire to its peak.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er will never regress, that is not his style!

Now Yang Fan is betting with Cui Fanbo, which is actually a competition with the aristocratic family.

This bet was agreed by Li Er himself!

If he loses, His Majesty Li Er will not be able to escape.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Yang Fan with some regret, thinking that this guy was causing trouble for him.

I always cause trouble all day long, and there is no time to stop!

Yang Fan held his mouth indifferently, but he did not argue.

Fang Xuanling, who was standing beside him, sighed and comforted him: "Your Majesty, in that case, I believe that the actions of the Marquis of Zhongyi are also a delaying strategy."

In Fang Xuanling's opinion, Yang Fan's bet this time was definitely lost.

If it really rains within three days, you, Yang Fan, will be required to disrupt the situation.

Changsun Wuji looked at His Majesty Li Er, then at Fang Xuanling, then at Yang Fan, who looked indifferent, and felt a little gloating, but he ordered: "I think Fang Xiang is right, and the Marquis of Zhongyi should be a delaying strategy..."

Soon, the topic changed: "But why did Majesty Zhongyi not talk about it longer? The longer the time is, the greater the chance of it raining. Why do you have to say it for three days? Three days pass by in a blink of an eye? Your Majesty will retreat at that time..."

Although Changsun Wuji's words seemed to defend Yang Fan, they actually contained murderous intent.

Because they are both implicitly ridiculed that this bet was a failed plan, and it is suspected that it would be a slaughter.

Of course, Yang Fan could hear the meaning of it and said unhappily: "I think so, but do you think that those officials of the aristocratic family are fools?"

"Half of the officials in the court support Cui Fanbo, and these people are obviously very outstanding in various families."

"The longer the delay, the more people will directly disagree and will not even be able to win three days."

"It is easy to discount their legs, but when it comes to the ears of the people, it must be rumor. These officials from aristocratic families whose legs are broken will definitely be beautified into good officials who love the people as much as their sons and sacrifice themselves for advice, and all the dirty water is poured on His Majesty. What should His Majesty do when that time?"

"If Zhao Duke had a good plan, why didn't he say a word at that time? Was he mute?"

"I don't know the good people's hearts!" Changsun Wuji was there and said softly.

Yang Fan just smiled. This old Yin man could make a good fart, and the sun could really come out from the west.

So, in the Ganlu Hall, everyone fell into silence again.

It was noon, and the sun shone in from outside the window, exuding a stream of heat, making people more irritable.

His Majesty Li Er swayed the teacup in his hand until the tea was cold, and his handsome face gradually became angry. He snorted coldly and said, "This group of high-ranking guys, I don't know how to write the word "death". Do you really think I dare not kill them?"

Even though he said that, His Majesty Li Er knew that he really couldn't kill them.

At least Li Er dared not take action before there was no legitimate reason.

Although I had thought of killing all these guys who claimed to be noble but were full of public opinion.

However, this decision cannot be made easily!

Because killing them is easy, but it is not easy to end.

If all those officials are really killed, there is no doubt that the world will be in chaos tomorrow.

The aristocratic families in various places will inevitably make every effort to launch the rebellion of the people. If one family is one, His Majesty Li Er of the two families will not be afraid.

But if the entire Tang Dynasty family united together, it would be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

By then, another chaotic world is coming.

You should know that these aristocratic families and wealthy families have been operating for hundreds of years, and have long penetrated into every corner of the area, with great influence.

If you just simply kill all the way, you will kill the heads and blood will flow into a river.

Although His Majesty Li Er is confident that he will uproot all the families of Ziqiu family in one fell swoop.

But what after the killing?

The entire Tang Dynasty will surely be full of holes.

What's more, if all these aristocratic families are killed, will they rely on those farmers who don't even know a lot to manage the world?

You should know that among all the literate people of the Tang Dynasty, more than 90% are children of various aristocratic families.

The remaining 10% of the poor families have interests in conflict with various aristocratic families.

Only the last half-finals are from poor families. These people are still relatively poor in their abilities and can only serve as the lowest-level officials.

It is rare for those who came from a poor family but had outstanding abilities like Ma Zhou, so His Majesty Li Er was in a dilemma.

Those aristocratic families caught the pain of His Majesty Li Er and dared to force the palace.

Because they have something to hold on!

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, if they were killed, who would manage the country for Li Er?

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's venting words, Fang Xuanling frowned even deeper!

Because he knew that this was His Majesty Li Er's helpless roar!

At this moment, Fang Xuanling, who was usually calm and wise, felt extremely difficult to face the death situation.

The only way to break the deadlock is to win this bet.

But after thinking about it, Fang Xuanling felt that Yang Fan had no chance of winning, so he could only smile bitterly and persuade: "Your Majesty, even if you lose the bet, you must not be confused."

"Now the prosperous scene has emerged, what you need most is stability. Although they can break the can, you can't!"

"Now that the Marquis of Zhongyi has been delaying for three days, no matter how hard we think about it, we will definitely think of a solution."

His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly: "Oh, forget it, no matter what, Yang Fan can delay these three days and make me prepare early, which is a great achievement. Let's take a look at whether there is any way to break the deadlock."

Just when everyone was at a loss.
To be continued...
