42. Forgiveness
After sleeping in the palace, Liu Fuling took the brochure presented by Shangshu, glanced at Huo Guang, who was sitting upright, and saw that he didn't say a word, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little before slowly unfolding the brochure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The brochure is organized with a ruler and a board, and each board is written in two columns, which is clearly a written edict.
Liu Fuling pinched the simple board in his hand hard, and only after a while did he look at the words on the ruler board seriously.
- "Edict: King Yan was confused and lost his way, and he was against Liu Ze, the prince of Qi, but not Yang, and hoped that the king would turn against him, and now he is conspiring with the eldest princess and General Zuo to endanger the temple. The king and the princess were self-defeating. He pardoned the prince Jian, the princess Wenxin and the son of the clan who conspired against their parents and sat in the same property with King Yan and Shangguan Ji were exempted from being concubines. If the officials are wronged by the officials and do not find out that they are in the officials, they shall be removed from their sins. β
-- Is it an amnesty?
Liu Fuling raised his eyes in surprise, but when he saw that Huo Guang was not moving, his heart tightened, he suppressed all his excitement, lowered his head and reread this not long edict.
"General......" Liu Fuling was a little incredulous.
"Your Majesty." Huo Guang was still calm and respectful.
Liu Fuling froze his mind, pressed his right hand on the booklet, and asked seriously: "The general wants to forgive sinners?" β
Huo Guang shook his head: "It's not a forgiveness of sinners. β
Liu Fuling was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and looked at the brochure in front of him again, and before he could understand it again, he heard Huo Guang's explanation: "The crime of rebellion is unforgivable, and those who sit together are also guilty of death, which is really pitiful." β
Although Huo Guang's tone was still calm, the meaning of compassion in it was very clear.
Hearing such an explanation, Liu Fuling couldn't help but shudder.
- Mercy?
Huo Guang didn't seem to pay attention to Liu Fuling's reaction at all, he continued to explain, his tone was still calm: "...... King Yan is the eldest son of the first emperor, and there are many people in the clan, and those who rebel against him are mostly very convinced of him and are unforgivable; Your Majesty is a young emperor, and his prestige is insufficient, and in the clan, even if he does not conspire, he is not loyal to His Majesty, if His Majesty is gracious and forgives the parents of the rebel who sits in the same property, how can the clan ......"
"Such a great kindness...... The general doesn't think it's too much? Liu Fuling interrupted Huo Guang's words, and wanted to sneer and question, but finally pressed it down and expressed his question as tactfully as possible.
-- The sin of rebellion, the sin of great rebellion, is still a great favor......
ββWill the people of the world be grateful, or do they think that this case is ...... Untrue?
Liu Fuling sneered in his heart.
-- Or is it the general's own weakness?
Liu Fuling was depressed and incomprehensible, where could he really hide his thoughts, Huo Guang raised his eyes to look at the young Son of Heaven, looked at his face slightly, then lowered his eyes again, and said indifferently: "There is a precedent for the clan to rebel and pardon those who sit there." β
"During the reign of Emperor Xiaojing, the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, and the parents, wives, and co-owners of the first person were confiscated as official slaves. Emperor Xiaowu pardoned him in the first year of his establishment. β
Liu Fuling was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
-- That was not what Emperor Xiaojing was doing.
-- In December of the first year of Emperor Xiaowen, Prince Zhao You was appointed as the King of Zhao, and the evil King Ze of Xilang was appointed as the King of Yan. All the land seized by the Lu clan and the land of Chu were returned. Eliminate the law of collecting money and sitting together.
-- At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the law decreed: "Sinners who have completed the city, who have a ghost salary or more, and those who sit in the adulterous mansion shall receive their wives, children, wealth, and land." β
-- It was precisely because Emperor Xiaowen was able to deal with the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in addition to the law of accepting the children and sitting on each other, that the Emperor Xiaojing was able to impose such a lenient punishment on the relatives of the rebels.
-- According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the parents, wives, and co-owners of the rebels all abandon the market.
If you think about it, although this edict is a forgiveness, it is actually more stringent.
-- In the absence of this edict, according to the precedent of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the parents and wives of the rebels were nothing but slaves and slaves, and now, although they are exempted from being concubines, the text is expressly limited to their parents and their co-owners, and their wives and children must die.
-- Moreover, this pardon is limited to members of the clan.
At the very least, the Shangguan family and the Sang family are unforgivable.
Liu Fuling sneered: "General, I am very curious about something. β
"I don't know what......" Huo Guang asked respectfully, but was interrupted by Liu Fuling again.
"The people who rebelled this time, are only the remaining clans and the eldest princess who can be pardoned?" Liu Fuling asked with a sneer.
After all, born and raised in the palace, even if Liu Fuling was furious, he couldn't speak more bluntly.
ββTo put it more bluntly, Liu Fuling has to ask Huo Guang, is it that except for the clan, all the people involved in the case are dead?
Huo Guang has been in the palace for more than 30 years, how could he not understand what Liu Fuling's almost straightforward questioning means?
He blinked, the corners of his lips moved, but his expression did not change, but after a while, he opened his mouth and said to the young emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a cloud in the edict: 'Those whose officials are mistaken by the officials and do not find out are removed from their crimes. His Majesty's question was speechless. β
-- Huo Guang meant, this case has not been thoroughly investigated to the end.
Liu Fuling was stunned. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at the lacquered screen directly in front of him, and did not move for a long time.
The lacquer screen has no features and is not worthy of the attention of the Son of Heaven. Huo Guang knew very well that this young emperor was looking at the queen outside the lacquer screen.
-- The monarch and the ministers discussed the matter, and the king took the initiative to retreat outside the palace.
In fact, even if he avoided suspicion, Xijun could retreat to the inner hall, but Xijun still chose to go outside the hall.
When he saw his granddaughter outside the hall, Huo Guang was surprised, although after looking at it, he felt a little relieved, but, no matter what, she shouldn't stand outside the hall.
In front of the emperor's bedroom, it was inconvenient for the ancestors and grandchildren to talk more, and after the two sides met, Huo Guang entered the palace.
Entering the palace gate, Huo Guang immediately understood why his granddaughter would rather stand outside the hall.
- Incense!
- The strong incense almost made him breathless!
After covering his nose for a while, Huo Guangcai continued to walk forward with the eunuch, but he was shocked in his heart.
- Such a strong incense...... Obviously hiding something......
For more than a month, Huo Guang had not seen the emperor, so he did not know about Liu Fuling's situation - of course, he knew that Liu Fuling had been sick, but he did not know what the so-called "illness" was. Therefore, when he saw Liu Fuling, Huo Guang was really startled, and he didn't salute for a long time, but Liu Fuling chuckled lightly, and he came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed again.
ββIs this boy already so sick?
This situation was completely unexpected by Huo Guang.
However, no matter how shocked he was, after a while, Huo Guang calmed down, and after a while, he thought of another thing - since Liu Fuling's condition was already so serious, why was the daily report still so lightly?
Huo Guang's heart was awe-inspiring, and his expression became colder and colder.
ββIt seems that it is necessary to ask this young emperor to move the palace as soon as possible.
Since the matter of Prince Wei, Huo Guang no longer dared to underestimate the eunuchs in the palace - they endured humiliation and survived, so they would naturally cling to everything they could grasp! Whoever dares to take away what they have, they will dare to deal with!
-- The young emperor's maternal grandfather was one of those eunuchs.
- This young emperor easily won the loyalty of those eunuchs.
-- Just as he easily won the loyalty of a lieutenant general!
With the help of this rebellion case, Huo Guang has already cleaned up the personnel of the banned China once, but, judging from today's situation, that is far from enough!
Huo Guang lowered his eyes and thought secretly.
At this time, seeing Liu Fuling looking at the queen, no matter what Liu Fuling wanted to hint at, this move made Huo Guang think of a good idea.
However, those things are not the most pressing issues at the moment.
"Your Majesty?" Huo Guang raised his voice slightly.
Liu Fuling retracted his gaze, glanced at the brochure in front of him again, and then looked at Huo Guang, a trace of imperceptible confusion flashed in his eyes. The young emperor asked his assistants: "Why does the general want to grant pardon at this time?" β
Huo Guang didn't misunderstand Liu Fuling's expression, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said after a long time: "What does Your Majesty mean?" β
Liu Fuling shook his head and sighed: "I thought that the general cherished the queen very much. β
Huo Guang was silent.
ββLiu Fuling's words were very vague, but how could Huo Guang not understand?
-- If you have the idea of forgiving sinners, why don't you forgive the official family?
- After all, the queen is the Shangguan family......
Liu Fuling didn't say anything moreβif he had known about it before meeting the Empress, he would probably have sneered.
- Even if he himself knew that after Huo Guang made up his mind, all his thoughts and actions were in vain!
- He'll still do that!
- He's been suppressed for too long!
- He needs to vent!
However, before Huo Guang invited him to see him, he saw his queen and stabbed her.
ββI've vented my emotions, but I still don't feel good!
β¦β¦
Knowing that it is futile, even if it is willful...... What can it be?
Liu Fuling was frustrated.
At least, for now, he gave up.
With a long breath, Liu Fuling rolled up the brochure and handed it to the eunuchs next to him, and then said to Huo Guang: "Yes." β
This is the edict.
Although it is just a formality, Huo Guang has never given people a handle, and will always report to Liu Fuling first, and then use the seal to issue an edict.
However, this edict is the first seal that Liu Fuling has seen in the past month or so.
The moment he said "can", the young man's heart was really mixed.
Looking at the Shangshu behind Huo Guang again, and respectfully accepting the edict, Liu Fuling couldn't help but be in a trance.
β¦β¦ Emperor......
β¦β¦ Power......
β¦β¦ Edict ......
β¦β¦ Seal......
Liu Fuling couldn't tell what he was talking about for a while.
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty......" The eunuch's soft reminder made Liu Fuling suddenly come back to his senses, but he could only look at Huo Guang blankly.
Huo Guang's expression did not move, and he respectfully repeated what he had just said: "The ministers are not yet in the Yang Palace." β
