Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 650 Is It Reasonable

"So, you are going to confront me openly?" Zhao Yuankai's tone became colder.

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere became tense to the extreme.

You know, bullying the emperor is a capital crime, openly confronting the emperor in the court, that is a capital crime that can't be died anymore!

but……

"Your Majesty, I don't want to fight against the Son of Heaven, and I don't have the guts to do so. It's just where my duty is, where the law is, and where my conscience is. I have no choice!"

Xu Wenlin still said that.

But at this time, Zhao Yuankai seemed to be furious, and the emperor's prestige descended, causing the entire court to suddenly plunge into freezing point!
Zhao Yuankai raised his eyebrows, flicked his sleeves, looked down at the court, pointed at Xu Wenlin's nose, and reprimanded:
"Why have no choice? Didn't I just let you stop when enough is enough? The person who was arrested can be sentenced to a sentence. Do you want to embarrass all the ministers in the entire court on the spot?"

"My great Han country has just stabilized. There are civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and they are all meritorious ministers! Isn't it because my family and children have made some small mistakes? Could it be that you, Xu Wenlin, insist on letting me carry out an amnesty?" The world? Ah!!"

"Xu Wenlin, answer me!!"

Your Highness, Xu Wenlin's face was extremely pale.

It is obvious that the current situation is somewhat beyond his expectation, His Majesty's wrath does not seem like he is putting on a big show!

And above the court, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and cried out at this moment:
"Your Majesty, rest your anger, Your Majesty, rest your anger!"

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the ministers and others, so that the ministers are flattered and have no regrets!"

"Your Majesty, this big man can have today's grand occasion, thanks to His Majesty's brilliance and prowess. How can I receive such kindness..."

……

The emperor is favoring the courtiers and is angry for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

This made the courtiers of the whole court so grateful, one by one knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, expressing their loyalty desperately!

At this time, Xu Wenlin suddenly realized.

He finally understood why his daughter said this was the only way out for their Xu family!

Defending the legal principles and revitalizing the legal system, to put it bluntly, is to divide a large part of the previous favoritism and protection for the princes and nobles and pass them on to the ordinary people of the big man!
This is destined to offend a group of people, and it is the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the famous families behind them, the entire noble group under nepotism!
Since it is an offense, it will definitely be hated, and it is natural that a person who is responsible for the blame will be needed to stand up and become the outlet and target point to balance the grievances of these noble groups!

Obviously, His Majesty is unwilling, impossible, and unsuitable to be this person!

Since His Majesty wants to change the law, the court officials who have lost their interests must not have too much complaints about the Han Dynasty. At least, this point of resentment and anger on the surface cannot be placed on Your Majesty!

Then this cauldron can only be carried by Xu Wenlin.

But will it go wrong?

If you are not firm enough and repeat it over and over again, something will definitely happen.

However, as long as you go on firmly, just like just now, clinging to the law and not yielding, let yourself stand firmly on the legal standpoint, become the pioneer of the reform of the Han Dynasty, and become the imitator of the future officials, that is absolutely impossible. something will happen!
Xu Wenlin gritted his teeth, he was really going all out.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking the liberty to act boldly. I think it is unreasonable to give amnesty to the world!" Xu Wenlin once again said shockingly.

The hall was completely quiet.

Those princes and ministers just looked at Xu Wenlin so dull, dumbfounded.

It's fine to defy the emperor openly, but now you deny the amnesty of the world?This is denying the Son of Heaven!
Since ancient times, amnesty to the world has been the exclusive right of the emperor. Anyone who has a great fortune in the country and wins the joy of Longyan can be amnesty to the world!

This is a rule of nearly a thousand years, why is it unreasonable?
This Xu Wenlin is too bold, he simply doesn't know how to live or die!
"Xu Wenlin, what did you say?" Zhao Yuankai's voice was terrifying.

However, the bottom of my heart was calm and surprised.

Is amnesty reasonable?
From the perspective of the legal system, it is indeed unreasonable, and it is a serious damage and trample on the fairness and justice of the national law!
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that amnesty is the supreme power of the imperial power, and it is absolutely impossible to use it indiscriminately. In the sixth year of Tianwu, everything has been restored. Your Majesty's amnesty is a good thing to boost the hearts of the people in the world!"

"However, it's only been a year since His Majesty pardoned the world because of such a trivial matter. This is abusing imperial power and trampling on legal principles. It will greatly lose the hearts of the people!"

Xu Wenlin explained.

Zhao Yuankai was a little surprised by this explanation, but after thinking about it, it made sense!

Zhao Yuankai thought that Xu Wenlin would have the insight and courage to directly doubt the legitimacy of Amnesty, but he didn't. He was only limited to whether the way he did things was reasonable!
Zhao Yuankai looked down at Xu Wenlin indifferently, speechless for a long time.

Finally, Zhao Yuankai spoke, which shocked the entire court!
"Xu Wenlin! Your nephew, Xu Yunsheng, has offended me, blasphemed Concubine Fang, and even hid soldiers, and you... have repeatedly contradicted me in this court!"

"Do you know that I am enough to kill the heads of your nine clans?"

The court hall was deathly silent.

behead?
Your Majesty is completely angry!
Since ancient times, when the emperor was angry, his blood flowed like a river, and the emperor wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die!

Now, if His Majesty just got angry, flicked his sleeves, and killed him, it couldn't be easier!
At this time, in the court hall, there was an undercurrent surging, and the courtiers prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Some people were secretly happy in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would really kill Xu Wenlin directly.

Some people were shaken in their hearts. They knew that Xu Wenlin was not wrong, that the emperor was favoring them, but... because of the emperor's partiality, they directly killed loyal ministers, so how could they be worthy of the emperor's favor?
You know, your relatives are indeed guilty!
Just as Xu Wenlin said, the turmoil in Chang'an has already begun, and what is needed after the strong wind is heavy rain. If it ends hastily, who will dare to uphold the law in the future?
At this moment, Xu Wenlin spoke again:

"Your Majesty, I know that I have offended His Majesty, so death is not a pity! However, no matter what, I will not change my attitude. Even if I have brought down a family of nine, I will defend the country's laws and regulations to the end!"

"I want to let the people of the great man, and the later descendants of the great man, know that everyone is equal before the laws and regulations of the country! If you violate the laws of the country, it will be the sky's net! It is the same as the teacher of the Son of Heaven who once said, and it is their most fair and just guarantee!"

"Since your majesty came to rule the world, he has worked hard to govern and innovated in all directions, giving the people of the big man unprecedented hope and happiness! But before I die, I only ask your majesty for mercy, and give the people of this empire a final sense of security! "
