He wanted Gulliver to be captured, tied up hand and foot, and sent back to Lilliput within two hours. The punishment decided for Gulliver was not explicitly mentioned in the text, but it was conveyed to the monarch of Blefuscu. The emperor of Lilliput also warned that if Gulliver did not obey his command, he would be declared a traitor.
