Chapter 93 Li Shimin's birthday

Time passes by, and the flashes of time passes by.

Two months passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the 28th day of the first lunar month was also on Li Shimin's birthday. Everyone celebrated. In order to show their generosity, the emperor would pardon the world on this day.

The general amnesty refers to the meaning of not chasing past crimes, no longer prosecuting past issues, and giving new opportunities to start over. However, the general amnesty is limited, not generalized, such as treason, deceiving the monarch, or political prisoners who confront the imperial power. In short, the country's imperial offenders are not within the pardon.

In short, after the general amnesty of the world, all prisoners in detention will be released immediately without guilt. Felony or dead prisoners can also go home to reunite with their families for a few days to demonstrate the emperor's kindness.

And historically, Chinese emperors often sanction the world at any time, playing with the law and in their hands.

But they actually followed the rules, had clear realistic purpose and intention, and did not completely slap the mind (although they would occasionally forgive the world for no reason, but they were all products of the brains, not many). Judging from the distribution of the emperor's amnesty for the world, generally speaking, when the emperor felt that his rule was not stable, the frequency of forgiveness was the most.

For example, Emperor Gaozu of Han reigned for 12 years and immigrated the world nine times; Emperor Yuan of Han reigned for 15 years and immigrated the world ten times; Emperor Ai of Han reigned for 6 years and immigrated the world four times; Emperor Ping of Han reigned for only 5 years and immigrated the world four times. Emperor Xian of Han reigned for 22 years and immigrated the world two times. Emperor Xian of Han reigned for only 23 years and immigrated the world four times; Emperor Jing reigned for 16 years and immigrated the world six times. Emperor Ming of Han, the son of Emperor Guangwu of Han, reigned for 18 years and immigrated the world three times. From these data, it can be seen that the coefficient of stability of the imperial power is inversely proportional to the frequency of immigrating the world four times.

Of course, there are times when there are great joys or great auspicious events, and the emperor will also feel that this is God’s recognition of his rule and will also immigrate the world.

For example, this time, the Tang Dynasty in the previous year was mixed. The good thing was naturally a foreign war. The Tang Dynasty completely conquered the Nanyang and continued to advance westward. It had already deployed troops in the front line of Jiazhou, facing hundreds of thousands of troops of Gundam and had several battles. Although the winner had not been decided yet, the previous battles ended with the Tang Dynasty's complete victory. The Tang Dynasty had already occupied an absolute strategic advantage. Under the command of Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui, the Gundam had already released grasshoppers in the autumn and could not jump for a few days.

In the north, the Tang Dynasty had made preparations for Goguryeo before the war and had several temptations from the vanguard. As a result, it was also a complete victory. Now, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival, the Tang Dynasty could launch a full-scale attack.

Of course, this is a good thing, and at the same time, there are bad things...

The beginning was that at the beginning of the year, King Yue was assassinated by Japan in Dengzhou. Then, the Tang Dynasty border was full of war, almost bringing the entire country into a place of doom. Then Yindao was discovered, and the world was in chaos, especially Lingnan, and the chaos became more and more serious...

Of course, overall, although the good and bad things account for half of the good and bad things, the good things still account for a little more. As for those bad things, most of them are scabies, while good things are great things that benefit the country and the people.

Therefore, Li Shimin is of course qualified to have a general amnesty for the world, and not only for the general amnesty, but this time he became rich and prepared to hold a decent birthday party for himself. He no longer took the time to have a meal with his confidant ministers like before, and then had a meal with the children in the evening.

Because this year was a very beautiful year for the Tang Dynasty. There were more than a dozen countries destroyed alone, and they showed their faces hard in the world. All countries were frightened and sent envoys to congratulate him. So this time he wanted to have a big one and take this opportunity to declare the great reputation of the Tang Dynasty to the world.

Today, Chang'an City is particularly lively, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, red and purple hangings, and the people are smiling happily. The entire Chang'an City is full of something called joy.

Of course, the people were happy, not because their beloved emperor, His Majesty, had a birthday today. Although they were indeed very happy for the emperor to celebrate his birthday, when they were even more happy, the court was sending rice.

Yes, today is my happy day. Since Li Shimin will pardon the world, he will naturally not forget his people. Not to mention it elsewhere, just in Chang'an City, the army began to line up early in the morning, distributing rice and grain from households - each family is a dou of rice, a pound of meat, and a pile of money, so that the subjects in the world will be happy... Although there are not many things, who doesn't like the free things?

During the Zhenguan period, the population of Chang'an City was about 700,000, or 100,000 households, and the total was only 1.25 million kilograms of rice, 100,000 kilograms of meat, and 100,000 jin of money (one hang of money is one hundred tang, ten hang of money is one tang). For the Tang Dynasty before, this was indeed a considerable amount, but now the Tang Dynasty is much richer than before, 10,000 jin of money - sprinkling water.

The people have benefited, and the court has not lost much, and has also united the people's hearts. In this way, both sides have benefited, which is a win-win situation.

The people are happy, and the courts are naturally even happier. The people have money to pay, so the courtiers get more things, and almost every one of them returns with a full load.

The court officials were happy, and Li Shimin became even happier.

"Long live my emperor!"

"The Lords are calm."

Wang Tingchu was wearing a brand new dress and screamed: "The emperor's birthday is celebrated together, and the world is auspicious... The ministers offer gifts! Congratulations to the emperor, for his life, his life is higher than the sky!"

"Shangshu Zuo Pushe (because many of these people have multiple positions, it is too troublesome to express them one by one. Here we will only introduce the most familiar official positions, and the rest are replaced by ellipsis)... Fang Xuanling, the Duke of Liang, presented a pair of white jade cups with a dragon and a mutton fat around the branches, congratulating the emperor on his longevity and the heavens, and his blessings are as blessed as the East Sea..."

"The Right Master of Shangshu... Duke of Cai Du Ruhui presented the best-quality South China Sea beads to celebrate the throne of the throne for his life and the evergreen pines and cypresses..."

"The Censor... Wei Zheng, Duke of Zheng, presented a thousand-year-old wooden heart with the best Ruyi couple, congratulations to the priests on the same life as the mountains and rivers, and tortoises and cranes prolong their lives..."

"The Grand Situ, the uncle... The eldest son of Zhao Duke Wuji presented Emperor Wu of Han with a sword to congratulate the emperor on his endless longevity and prosperity, and the sun and moon are bright..."

"The Minister of War...Duke Li Jing of Wei offered ninety-five white jades and tucked them to the emperor for his great grace..."

"...British Duke Li Ji, a pair of blood-donated Pisces pants..."

“……Duke Qin Shubao from Ji State offers…”

"E Kingdom Duke Yuchi Jingde..."
