text_original: From the imperial will there was no escape. The Em  peror might and did commonly obse ve the constitutional forms and act on the sentence of the courts of law, or he might dispense with such tedious no escape formalities and send a quiet message to bid a Emperor's man set his house in order or let his veins be opened in a bath. A few soldiers could carry the death warrant to the greatest of his subjects in a far off land, and execute it in the midst of his retainers.
