Zhang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, although this is a serious crime of treason, it is after all a fratricide, so it is not appropriate to kill too many people."

The Third Prince was slightly happy, thinking that it was the effect of his order to show mercy to Xu Wen last night.

However, the Third Prince thought too much.

Zhang Tian said this purely out of the humanitarian sentiment of later generations.

According to the ancient custom, the nine clans of the rebels would be executed.

If the emperor really pursued it, I don't know how many innocent people would be implicated.

Except for the core personnel, most of the imperial guards were coerced.

Before they mutinied, they only knew to follow the generals and didn't know they were rebelling.

It is impossible that tens of thousands of imperial guards were all told that they were going to rebel.

Otherwise, with so many soldiers, someone would definitely take the risk to expose it to the emperor.

Therefore, punishment can be given, but if the nine clans were executed for this, Zhang Tian couldn't just watch the emperor kill.

All officials remained silent, but Prime Minister Cai took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted and worthy of being called a god."

Zhang Tian looked at him strangely.

If he caters to me at this time, if the emperor is determined to kill, wouldn't it be against the emperor?

If I say anything, the emperor won't do anything to me, but he may not be so polite to his officials.

With Prime Minister Cai's knowledge, he shouldn't speak at this time.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Anyou also nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang is concerned about the people of the world, which is a blessing for the Nan'an Dynasty. This is what I am worried about."

As he said, he signaled Zhuo Ping with his eyes.

Zhuo Ping was well prepared. He took out a scroll of imperial edict and began to read it:

"In this peaceful world, brothers are fighting each other. How sad! I feel deeply saddened by the anxiety of people's hearts."

"The Wuqing lineage is the leader of cruelty and chaos. They have absolute evil thoughts and plot to usurp the throne, disregarding the way of loyalty and righteousness. This is a huge crime, and those who are blocking the way of governance cannot handle it."

"However, I and my brothers are brothers from the same mother. I still think of the deep moral relationship between us and cannot bear to see brothers killing each other."

"So Announce to the world that they will be demoted to commoners, to show the intention of seeking good and discouraging evil. Deprive them of their titles, abandon their honorific traditions, and return them to the ranks of mediocre commoners. "

"Descendants will be deprived of their honorific titles, and their family will no longer be prominent. If anyone dares to protect them, they will be punished with the same crime and will not be spared."

"For the rest of the accomplices, only their own faults will be investigated, and their family members and clans will not be implicated."

"I decree!"

The imperial edict came out, which meant that the matter was finally settled.

Although the third prince was only demoted to a commoner, and no further punishment was mentioned, it was obviously impossible to let him run around.

It is estimated that a lifelong confinement is inevitable.

With this tone, other people should not be punished too severely.

Although many punishments have not been clarified, such as how many people will be executed? How many people will be exiled?

But Zhang Tian was too lazy to care.

Even in later generations, such a punishment for the crime of rebellion is quite humane.

"Your Majesty is kind and benevolent, which is a blessing for our Nan'an Dynasty."

"It is a blessing for the people of the world to have such a benevolent emperor in power."

"…………"

At this time, all the officials jumped out and flattered Emperor Anyou.

The court suddenly became lively again.

No wonder Prime Minister Cai dared to cater to Zhang Tian just now. It is estimated that this imperial edict was drafted by him and he knew the emperor's intention in advance.

Zhang Tian stood up from the soft stool and said to Emperor Anyou very seriously: "Governing the world with benevolence, the emperor can be the master of the revival."

This time, Zhang Tian was sincere.

Even from the perspective of later generations, Emperor Anyou was quite kind.

There are not many emperors like this in history, and whenever they appear, it is a blessing for the people.

All along, Zhang Tian felt that the emperor was a little weak, even incompetent, and didn't like him very much.

But based on the information these days,

When he was young, he personally went north to fight, and he was also passionate.

After the defeat, he returned to the capital, and there was no news of him committing any evil deeds or taking his anger out on others.

He was even often forced to hide from the officials, and only dared to find "traitors" like Prime Minister Cai to do things secretly.

From the perspective of the passionate history of later generations, such a weak emperor who could not expand the territory was not welcomed.

But the people living under his rule were blessed.

As for the phrase "the master of the revival", it was a blessing from Zhang Tian from the perspective of later generations.

In the original historical timeline, there were two emperors who behaved similarly to Emperor Anyou in a similar period.

One was Emperor Jingzong of Liao.

He was also quite gentle to the clan members who rebelled, and abolished the original harsh laws.

Before him, if the clan members were caught rebelling, it was basically a nine-family elimination game, and no one was spared.

And Emperor Jingzong of Liao was at most imprisoned.

The other was the originalJin Shizong of the Jin Dynasty.

He also changed the clan cleansing policy continued by his predecessor. Even though Wanyan Zongwang's son Wanyan Jing was definitely planning a rebellion, he was not killed.

At first glance, such a punishment has no deterrent effect.

Since he will not die, then wouldn't anyone dare to rebel?

But the effect was beyond the expectations of most people.

These two people are "the masters of the rejuvenation"!

They were supported by the vast majority of people and once led their respective countries out of crisis and continued their national destiny.

Hearing Zhang Tian's words, Emperor Anyou couldn't hide his joy.

Ten thousand flatteries from the officials are not as good as one word from the immortal.

He also stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are too flattering. I am alone and weak. If I can get help from Mr. Zhang, it will be a blessing for the people of the world."

At this time, the third prince, who had been ignored, suddenly knelt down and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong... I am ashamed of myself... I dared to fight for the throne."

"Your Majesty is so broad-minded, no wonder there are immortals to help him."

"If there is a will of heaven, it will definitely be on your side."

"The Nan'an Dynasty is in your hands, your brother can rest assured..."

As he said that, he suddenly hit his head against the nearest pillar.

"Stop him quickly..." Emperor Anyou shouted.

At this time, both sides were full of people, how could the third prince be so easily killed.

An official hurriedly flashed and blocked the third prince.

There was a muffled sound of "puff".

The third prince hit the official head-on, he was fine, but the official was in bad luck.

I don't know what part of the body was hit, and he fell to the sky without a breath.

The officials around him hurriedly grabbed the third prince.

"Third Prince, don't let the Emperor down."

"If the Third Prince dies in the palace today, where will the Emperor be? Where will Prince Ren be?"

The Third Prince struggled for a while, and when he saw that he was powerless to break free, he sighed and let everyone hold him down.

Emperor Anyou said calmly, "Take him away first and keep him under guard."

Zhang Tian didn't know if Emperor Anyou could tell whether this kind of repentance and suicide drama was true or not.

Anyway, with his level, he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Think about the many masters who pretended to be crazy and stupid in history. In order to survive or escape, they pretended to be crazy in all kinds of ways that ordinary people could not imagine.

It is not impossible to pretend this kind of behavior that will not lead to death.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Oh no, Mr. Pang has stopped breathing."

"Quick, quick, use the resurrection technique."

Several officials began to press on the chest of the "Pang Man", but when it came to the stage of blowing air, everyone hesitated.

You look at me, I look at you, waiting for someone to "speak out".

They have lived to a great age, but have never tried to kiss a man, and they really can't do it in public.

Finally, a palace guard was pulled over to rescue the suffocated Pang Da.

Emperor An You watched this farce on the dragon throne and cursed: "Huh! We are officials in the same dynasty, but you are afraid to act in such a matter of life and death. How can I let you do it?"

All the officials were startled and bowed hurriedly, saying: "I know my crime."

At this time, Emperor An You had just experienced a rebellion, and there was a murderous aura in his words.

It was completely different from his cowardly character before, and the officials felt cold in their hearts.

"Forget it, let's help Master Pang down to rest first."

Then he said: "Young Master Zhang is a god who has come down to earth and has repeatedly helped the Nan'an Dynasty. Last night, he helped me quell the rebellion and made great contributions."

"Young Master Zhang, I wonder if you have any needs in this world, and I can help you a little?"

"Otherwise, if you receive such a great favor but don't think about repaying it, I will be uneasy and unable to sleep at night."

After the battle last night, Emperor Anyou relied more on Zhang Tian.

In addition, he also hoped that Zhang Tian would solve the problem of fertility.

He almost begged Zhang Tian, ​​hoping that he could play a role.

As the emperor of a country, he has always been the only one who has shown favors to others, but now he is like a beggar, accepting favors blindly, but not knowing how to repay.

This made Emperor Anyou feel extremely insecure.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Tian said lightly: "There is a small matter that the emperor can help with."
