Edict 2SZ-01-03

To the Court, 

''The temerity you have shown, in our presence and before our very eyes, in participating in the conspiracy against our life and our throne, has been shocking. Heaven and Men alike cannot countenance or excuse such treachery, disloyalty and unrighteous thoughts and acts as those you have condoned, or not refused. ''

''If you disloyal officials will not do your duty by us, and serve us well, then let us be bound no longer by decorum and rules. The Guard will escort these 31 officials to await execution, forthwith! ''

''More shall come, as the full extent of your vile and treacherous behaviour is uncovered. And we can assure you, as Heaven has protected us twice in our first year, so Divine Providence shall find and punish you. Those of you who so arrogantly think yourselves indispensable, those of you who insanely believe you can go against Heaven's Mandate which I hold, shall find no mercy in me any longer. ''
