"What's wrong? Just say it!" Ruizong's face was calm and his tone was not stern, but he said a word that made people dare not doubt at all: "Read!"

The eunuch responded, got up tremblingly, his hands trembled, and he held up the imperial edict with difficulty, chanting: "Self-blame edict!"

The fear had not passed yet, and the voice was trembling spontaneously.

"Self-blame edict?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, and stood up in shock. His eyes almost fell to the ground, and he looked at Ruizong blankly, as if he didn't recognize him.

Even Princess Taiping and Li Longji were so shocked that they stood up.

The emperor is arrogant and dominates the world. What he wants is power. If he is guilty of himself, can he still have power? In order to safeguard the imperial power, some emperors will not hesitate to use their ministers as scapegoats and refuse to admit their mistakes.

If the emperor says "I'm wrong", it's all difficult and difficult to reach the sky!

The edict of guilt after the disaster is nothing but a gesture and no counting at all.

This kind of mistake in government decrees is written in black and white, saying that you are wrong. Has any emperor ever done such a thing in the thousands of years of Chinese history?

have!

That was Emperor Wu of Han! It is generally believed that Emperor Wu of Han's "Luntai Edict" is an edict of guilt.

Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns and eliminated the threat from the north. This was a major event in Chinese history, and later generations benefited endlessly. However, the cost of the Western Han Dynasty was also very high. The national treasury was consumed and the household registration in the world was reduced by half. It was time for the country to be poor and the people to be ill. Due to the inability to bear it, peasant riots had already broken out in some places.

Under such difficult national conditions, and the Huns were almost over at that time, Emperor Wu of Han decided to change his course, temporarily stop the war, restore the world to stability and rest with the people. This strategy was finally reflected in the "Luntai Edict", and it was also from this edict that the large-scale war during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han stopped.

During the reign of Emperor Zhao of Han and Emperor Xuan of Han, it was still a continuation of Emperor Wu of Han. After decades of resting to the people, when Emperor Xuan of Han was restored, Emperor Xuan of Han decided to revise the story of Emperor Wu and conquered the four barbarians. Only then did Zhao Chongguo attack the Western Qiang and use troops to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Emperor Wu of Han’s "Luntai Edict" is very famous and is also said in the way of "abandoning Lutai". He did not bluntly say the word "sinciting oneself". However, Ruizong bluntly said "sinciting oneself", which was a shocking event in the era when imperial power was supreme!

Everyone's faces were filled with surprise, surprise, disbelief, and at a loss!
