English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict I proclaim: “Recently, there are those among the Lords and nobles who have no respect and are rebellious and I hear that they plan to surround the Imperial palace and assemble secret armies. Although I thought to turn the other way to this I think, ‘which servant of mine would turn their back on my court—is there even one?’ So, I rule according to the law. Although I think that I should not say the same to all people and ask about it, I proclaim this now as it is a grave issue of the realm and so I think I should bless, enlighten and correct the mind of such insane, bewildered and stupid men. Understand this and do not do anything worthy of blame. The laws of the realm cannot cease for those who do not obey this edict, even if I myself with to bless them. Each family and household, serve diligently not losing the name of your parents.”
