Yan Qi was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor was willing to play this trick.
In history, there were only a few emperors who dared to issue edicts that would offend themselves.
Moreover, the world is in chaos, and they are forced to have no choice. If they don't issue a sinful edict, their lives will not be saved.
I had no choice but to passively accept the punishment of sinners.
The emperor who took the initiative to punish himself was unprecedented.
The old emperor took the initiative to issue an imperial edict, which was the first time in history.
What is the concept of sinner edict?
It is equivalent to the emperor committing a serious crime.
There is a paradox here.
The Emperor is the Supreme Being, the Son of God, how could he commit a crime?
The emperor is a saint, a god, the protector of the people, and the guardian of the country.
In fact, it is the totem of Dahua.
Therefore, the emperor cannot commit crimes.
The emperor spends money like water, which is not a crime, but singing and dancing to promote peace.
If the emperor indulges in beauty and has no intention of governing the country, that is not a crime, that is called cultivating sentiments.
It is not the emperor's fault that the emperor is lazy in politics, but that his ministers are incompetent.
In short, the emperor is right.
The word emperor means god.
God cannot make mistakes.
Now, for the sake of Yan Qi, the emperor actually issued an edict to sin against himself?
Admit yourself guilty!
This kind of thing is simply a curiosity in the world.
Yan Qi secretly gave a thumbs up: The old man is really cruel.
In my heart, I was silently moved.
There are not many people in this world who can move him.
The old emperor did it.
The old emperor issued the edict of sin, which means that he will leave a ruined mark in the history books.
Thousands of years later, there will be people who will scold him, criticize him, and criticize him.
As an emperor, everyone wants to leave a name in history. Which emperor wants to be infamous throughout the ages?
However, this is all a hundred years after death.
Right now, there is an urgent need.
Because the emperor issued an edict to sin against himself, which would shake his qualifications to rule the world.
If a minister makes a mistake, he will be demoted.
The emperor made a mistake and had to bear the price.
The price is very serious, that is, the foundation is unstable and the power is questioned.
If, at this moment, he is being rebelled by someone, and the dynasty changes, there will be no place to cry and reason.
The old emperor used this trick for Yan Qi, which can be said to have risked his life.
The ministers were shocked
Eclipsed.
An Sihai hurriedly knelt down to stop him: "Please take back the imperial edict."
Wan Liang, the minister of household affairs, Fan Tong, the prefect of Kyoto, and others immediately knelt down and said: "Please take back the edict of sinners."
A group of ministers huffed and knelt down.
The Eight Sage King's eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help but smile evilly.
Sin yourself?
Very good.
If you have issued a decree to sin against yourself, you are not far from stepping down.
The Eight Wise Kings were so excited that they couldn't hold it in any longer. They were so happy that they didn't even try to dissuade the old emperor. He shouted loudly: "Brother, I dare to take action and am not afraid of notoriety. This courage is appreciated by my younger brother."
He did not stop the old emperor from issuing an edict against himself.
There is even a hint of encouragement in the words.
The old emperor stared at the Eight Wise Kings: "Brother, I and Yan Qi will bear the responsibility together. Can we possibly save Yan Qi's life?"
The Eighth Sage King found that he was overjoyed, and immediately controlled his emotions without rushing to respond. He turned around and asked Qi Ying, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments: "Master Qi, you are proficient in the law, please quickly answer the emperor's questions."
This bad guy, he can't do it, he has to let others do it for him.
He is a wise king who has always been considerate and considerate of the emperor. How could he do things that add insult to injury?
Qi Ying came out and said: "Go back to the emperor. The emperor has issued an imperial edict to sin against himself. If you bear the responsibility, you can naturally save Master Yan's life."
"But the emperor's guilt must be recorded in the "Code of Crime" and passed down from generation to generation."
"Furthermore, if the emperor commits a crime, he must be punished, but the blame for the crime cannot be imposed on the emperor. He should be beaten with a dragon robe instead. Moreover, the dragon robe whipped must be put in jail to replace the emperor."
When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled.
As the emperor, how can the emperor bear such an insult?
If you are really treated like this, how can you still be the emperor?
The old emperor frowned and pondered for a long time: "I want to issue an edict to punish myself. If I beat Longpao, I will fight Longpao. If Longpao is imprisoned, I will be imprisoned. I want to share the blame for Yan Qi."
"emperor!"
An Sihai and others tried their best to dissuade him.
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, no one can stop me."
"Your Majesty... no, no..."
An Sihai had tears in his eyes.
The Eighth Sage King glared at An Sihai: "How dare you stop the Emperor's wishes again and again? Do you still have the Emperor in your eyes? Why don't you retreat quickly?"
An Sihai had no choice but to retreat.
The Eight Wise Kings felt as if their hearts were on fire, and they were excited.
He was dancing uncontrollably and hurriedly ordered to Qi Ying: "Get the prison talisman quickly and ask the emperor to write the edict of sin. Don't affect the emperor's original intention."
"This..." Qi Ying hesitated.
The Eight Wise Kings glared: "Why don't you go quickly?"
"yes!"
Qi Ying had no choice but to take out the prison talisman and hand it to the emperor respectfully.
The old emperor looked at the prison talisman, endured his heartache, and wrote the edict of sin.
In the end, all that was left was a signature and a jade seal.
The old emperor hesitated for a long time.
Ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.
There was silence above the main hall.
The Eighth Sage King lowered his voice: "Brother Emperor, please... sign."
The old emperor glanced sideways at the Eight Wise Kings and suddenly smiled: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I will sign and seal it right now."
The old emperor grabbed the pen tremblingly and was about to sign.
The Eight Wise Kings stared at the pen in the old emperor's hand, with eyes wide open.
He was so excited.
As long as the old emperor signs, can the throne still be secure?
Ha ha ha ha!
Just when the old emperor was about to put pen to paper.
Yan Qi suddenly stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, wait."
The old emperor ignored what others said.
As soon as Yan Qi spoke, the old emperor immediately stopped writing and looked at Yan Qi.
The Eighth Sage King became anxious: "Yan Qi, you are a sinner, how can you interfere in this? Why don't you step back immediately?"
Yan Qi stepped forward with a puzzled look on his face: "I don't understand. The emperor has worked hard to govern the country, managed the country well, and won the hearts of the people. Why would he issue an edict to sin against himself? Isn't this inexplicable?"
The Eighth Sage King angrily rebuked: "Isn't it all because the emperor shared the blame for you? Yan Qi, you must not be ignorant of good and evil."
Yan Qi pointed at his nose: "Share the blame for me?"
The Eight Wise Kings looked gloomy: "Yes, if the Eight Wise Kings had not shared the blame for you, you would have been punished by death. Why don't you quickly thank the Emperor for taking care of you?"
Yan Qi handed over to the emperor: "The emperor's love for me is comparable to the sun and the moon. I will remember it in my heart and never forget it. However, I am not guilty, so why should the emperor bear the responsibility for me? Isn't this something made out of nothing?"
As soon as these words came out, the old emperor was shocked.
Yan Qi said he is not guilty?
What is going on?
Could it be that Yan Qi...
The old emperor's mind was racing. Based on the world he had seen, he suddenly realized something.
Is there a mystery here?
