Edict 1SZ-01-01

Bearing the Heavenly Decree, 

We, the Emperor, 

Solemnly Speak: 

''While we have ascended the throne and the Imperial dignity not long ago, yet much has already happened in our reign. We have set ourselves to work in order to improve the good works of the previous reign, and to correct what shortcomings we have seen, and already we have seen fruits. The victories over our enemies, and those who bear ill-will towards our reign, are clear evidence of favour. ''

''We are, by Heaven's Mandate, master of the Empire, commanding the six-dragon chariot and gazing down upon myriad subjects and servants. Yet it is our dearest wish to lead, not merely by the power of command, but also by our own example. While loyal servants toil unremittingly in their posts, and brave men fight fiercely in their ranks, we shall not do any less in our command. ''

''Servants, subjects, guests and tributaries alike - keep firm in your service and duty, and we shall not let you down! ''
