The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 776
Chapter 776
Whether it is ancient or modern, the law is a way to ensure that the people of a country are fair.

If Li Er took the lead in violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty would definitely become a country where rituals and music collapsed in the future.

Bai Jingyi is very sensitive about this. After all, Datang is not the country of Li Er alone, but the country of 4000 million people in Datang.

If Li Er's thoughts can be changed at will, then Datang will definitely weaken in the future.

Bai Jingyi said straight away: "My Majesty, the laws of the Tang Dynasty must not be violated!"

And Li Er also nodded and said: "Exactly, I will not be so reckless!"

And the following former ministers also began to speak of their own.

"My lord, since the prime minister said that the exiled officials of my Tang Dynasty have been exiled, but this is also the problem of my Tang Dynasty. It is very important for my Tang Dynasty to send officials at this time. If this is wasted Opportunity, I am afraid that I will not have such an opportunity in the future!"

"Furthermore, those officials who were exiled may not all have thoughts about my country, and some of them were exiled because of other things, and I can use them!"

"This move can not only solve the official candidates that my Tang Dynasty did not send at this time, but also stabilize the situation of the small countries for my Tang Dynasty. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

"What's more, during the busy farming season, the ancient emperors would pardon the world for the sake of the people of the world and let them return to their homes to farm. When the busy farming season is over, they will return to prison. This is a precedent. Your Majesty, please think again!"

"After all, the affairs of my Tang Dynasty at this time are more important than the busy farming season. Your Majesty, think twice!"

It has to be said that the words of the former court minister are indeed very reasonable.

It is also very common for ancient emperors to show compassion for the people all over the world and release prisoners from prisons during the busy farming season.

It can not only promote the production of the country, but also enable people who have no labor force at home to make ends meet.

This is also considered to be for the people of the world.

And many ministers have also started to speak.

"My Majesty, this statement is true. In my dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, the emperor would indeed pardon the world during a special period. This was also for the sake of the country and the people of the world!"

"My Majesty, this is indeed not a precedent for our Great Tang Dynasty. The previous dynasties did have this allusion, and these emperors have also been recorded in the history books, so that the people of later generations will sing it!"

"My lord, if my Great Tang pardons these exiled officials at this time, it is also for the sake of my great Tang's country. I feel that I can let them make meritorious deeds. If their political performance is good, they can become officials again. If their political performance If it is not good, it will be completely recalled!! Please also ask the Holy Master to enlighten me!"

And Li Er was also very excited.

"If the exiled officials can really be pardoned, it can be regarded as giving them a chance to perform their crimes and make meritorious deeds. Let them go to a small country as an official on behalf of Datang, which is the right time to grasp their national power."

Li Er shifted his gaze to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were beside him and asked, "You two beauties, have ancient emperors ever acted like this?"

Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said, "I want to tell you, the ancient sages did have such a will for the sake of the people of the world!"

Fang Xuanling also clasped his hands and said: "There has indeed been such an act, and my Tang Dynasty is not a precedent!"

This time, Li Er was completely moved.

After all, if Datang were to give up this opportunity at this time, then these small countries would indeed take advantage of the loophole.

When the envoys of these small countries return to the country, they will definitely have another look at Datang.

If this is the case, it may take decades or even hundreds of years for Datang to completely regain these countries.

"Zhen, I really can't lose this opportunity, anyone who can let Datang rule the world!"

And Bai Jingyi looked at the hesitant Li Er, and completely understood.

"It seems that Li Er's heart is moved, this is really playing with fire!"

Bai Jingyi cupped his hands directly and said: "If my Tang Dynasty wants to re-appoint these exiled officials, then my Tang Dynasty will definitely collapse in the future!!"

Li Er's face was shocked, because Bai Jingyi's words were too serious.

If it was only because of the appointment of some officials, then the rituals and music of the Tang Dynasty would collapse?

So isn't it time for Datang to subjugate the country?

Li Er hurriedly asked, "King of Beiliang, why did you say that?"

Bai Jingyi replied: "My Majesty, although His Majesty only pardoned some officials who were exiled, and the purpose was still for the sake of my Tang Dynasty, but Majesty, don't forget!"

Li Er swallowed his saliva, staring straight at Bai Jingyi.

And the ministers below also looked at Bai Jingyi one after another, wanting to see what kind of words Bai Jingyi would say.

Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said, "But don't forget, Your Majesty, the wise kings and sages of the past dynasties have only pardoned ordinary people, but they have never pardoned officials!"

"Hiss~" As soon as these words came out, Li Er and the officials all breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the sage kings of the past dynasties were worried that the people in the world would not have a good harvest, so they issued an order to pardon the prisoners in the world to return to their hometowns to farm.

However, officials and common people are not of the same class at all.

The kings of all dynasties have never pardoned a large number of officials, which is indeed unprecedented.

It can be said that officials and common people are not the same kind of people.

The common people have land, and no matter how much they benefit, it is their own.

As for the officials, they are the officials of Datang, and they only benefit from the salaries issued by Datang.

It can be said that the officials control the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, while the common people only control one-third of an acre of land.

Cheng Yaojin immediately cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, I think that what the King of Beiliang said is very true. The officials in my Tang Dynasty are all powerful, and they are different from the common people!"

"Officials with great power in their hands have the right to easily decide the life and death of the common people, while the common people only manage a few acres of their own land at most. This is absolutely different!"

"If the Holy Majesty wants to pardon officials, this is indeed a precedent. No one knows what the consequences will be. Please think again, Your Majesty! Don't be so reckless!"

Yu Chigong who was behind him also hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, I also think that what the King of Northern Liang of the Tang Dynasty said is very true. The wise kings of the past dynasties took pity on the suffering of the common people, so they would specialize the prisoners to go home to farm. But there has never been such a precedent for amnesty officials, and no one knows what will happen!"
