What do you mean, a person's guilt is obvious?

The "self-blame imperial edict" is an oral statement or document used by ancient emperors to introspect or review their own faults or mistakes when the court had problems, the country suffered natural disasters and the regime was in danger. It usually occurs in three situations: first, the monarch and the minister are misplaced, second, natural and man-made disasters, and third, the political power is at stake. The intention is to blame yourself, but the situation is different.

The word "imperial edict" in the crime of "imperial edict against oneself" is interpreted as: telling the truth and obeying orders in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. Zheng Xuan, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, commented on the "imperial edict" and called it "imperial edict, which means to sue". Tell, tell, tell people. This man has ups and downs. According to Guanzi, Qi Huangong once visited Guan Zhong who was sick.

Seeking Guan Zhong's good policy for future political affairs: "Why will Guan Zhong ask me?" "Guanzhong" (Guanzhong) is a minister, and "I" (Qi Huangong) is a gentleman, which means I want to "tell" you. Qi Huangong did not take the "monarch" as the right, but put the word "imperial edict" on the equal status of the upper and lower officials. However, since Qin Shihuang declared that "life is the system" and the decree is the imperial edict, the language right of the imperial edict has become the patent of the emperor.

"Self-incrimination" is the "mouthpiece" of the emperor's reproach and introspection. When it is used with the word "imperial edict", it becomes an instrument to tell the world.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the alchemist and built a 30-foot cactus in the court to collect dew for drinking, thinking that this would ensure his immortality.

In addition, he hired Jiang Chong and other villains to do evil in the Western Han Dynasty. In 9 1 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to what Jiang Chong and others said, forcing him to make peace, and even implicated tens of thousands of innocent people. In the middle and late period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people could not bear the double exploitation of the government and the strongmen, so they rose up in succession and broke out many uprisings.

In 98 BC, Sang Hongyang and others suggested that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty send more troops to guard Luntai. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seriously reflected on the mistakes he had made in recent years, so he issued a letter to promulgate measures such as light taxation, recuperation and inaction. This is the famous "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hanged himself" in history.
