Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 192

When the news of Yang Rong's gathering of people to rebel spread back to Wu Du, there was an uproar in Wu's government and people.

Fortunately, Sun Wu quickly led his troops to quell the rebellion.

It is a pity that Yang Rong committed suicide and died, and his whole family was also beheaded by Yang Rong before he died.

What made Qingji shudder was that Yang Rong even stabbed his seven or eight-year-old daughter to death with a single sword!
This reminds Qingji of two ruthless men in history——Jiang Wei and Zhu Youjian.

After the Shu Han surrendered to the Wei State, Jiang Wei was obsessed with his obsession and decided to instigate Cao Wei General Zhong Hui to rebel.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian killed his wife and daughter with a sword when the capital was captured and there was no way to escape. Then he found a tree with a crooked neck in Meishan and hanged himself on the southeast branch.

What the two of them did was extremely ruthless.

However, sometimes this kind of thing is unavoidable.

Because if their wives and children are still alive, they will inevitably be humiliated, and may eventually die in humiliation.

The shame of Jingkang in history, the empresses and concubines of Song Huizong were brutally treated by the Jin people.

Of course, Qing Ji is not so cruel.

But it is conceivable that if Yang Rong's family is still alive, the end will not be easy.

……

Wuwang Palace, the Hall of Deliberations.

Qingji, who was sitting high on the Majesty's platform, had his eyes closed, as if he was resting his mind, and no one could see any annoyance on his face.

The officials under the majesty's platform were as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak.

The atmosphere of the entire court has become a little weird and a little intrusive!
There is nothing like this last moment of calm before the storm.

However, Qingji was not as furious as they imagined.

"Declaration. Yangrong, the doctor of the middle school, plotted rebellion and rebellion. He committed a heinous crime. Immediately, he tore Yangrong's body and abandoned it in the wilderness, the tribe of barbarians!"

Hearing this, all the ministers and officials shuddered.

But they can understand that the corpse was torn apart and thrown into the wilderness. How can the Yi tribe explain it?
"Your Majesty, I don't know who the Yi tribe is?"

Dazai Jizha asked very puzzled.

Only then did Qingji realize it.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were no punishments for the three tribes of the barbarians and the punishment of the nine tribes.

In ancient times, "family copying" and "genocide extermination" were often used together, with the purpose of eradicating the root - completely removing the strength and connections of revenge.

In the past, Shaokang Zhongxing's "one percent of the land and one brigade of the people" was the inexhaustible consequence. In history, Wu Zixu and Wu Fachu were the result of incomplete genocide.

Therefore, Qin Shihuang began to have the cruel method of "clan punishment", first the three tribes of Yi, and later became more and more cruel, from three, five to nine clans-three clans of father, three clans of mother, and three clans of grandma.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was the only time in history that the Zhu Shi Clan appeared.

Clan punishment began in the Shang Dynasty.

At that time, it was called 劓殄, which was the initial form of family punishment, the punishment for beheading criminals and their descendants.

In this era, the cruelest punishment for clan punishment is nothing more than copying and beheading the whole family.

Qingji's "Three Barbarians" seems to be too shocking!
However, Qingji didn't mind bringing out the punishment of the Yi tribe, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and deterring those officials with ulterior motives.

"The so-called three tribes of Yi are the father's, mother's, and wife's tribes."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, all the ministers were terrified.

Historically, after the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were two versions of the Yi tribe, one was the three tribes of father, son, and grandson, and the other was the three tribes of father, mother, and wife.

The former was considered a fluke. All his father's brothers, all his own brothers, and all his own sons were executed, and no women in the family were killed.

No harm to one's cousins, cousins, cousins ​​and cousins!

As for the latter, the three clans of the father, mother, and wife were wiped out, which can be described as tragic.

patriarchy.There are nine generations in the vertical calculation of direct blood relatives, that is, with the person as a reference, the upwards are father, ancestor, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Down is son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson, and great-great-grandson is not within the scope of relatives.

Matriarchal aspect.The mother's brothers and sisters in the same generation, that is, my uncle and aunt.

The mother's previous parents are his maternal grandparents; the mother's brother's children are his cousins.

wife family.Brothers and sisters of the wife's own generation, that is, his brother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, sister-in-law.

The wife's parents in the previous generation, that is, her own father-in-law and mother-in-law, are members of the wife's family.

Most people think that the Zhujiu clan is more serious than the Yi three clans, but in fact the opposite is true, the Yi three clans are a three times stronger version of the Zhujiu clan!

"My lord, absolutely don't use this cool technique!"

Ji Zha hurriedly dissuaded him: "This kind of torture and cruel law is so implicated that I have never heard of it!"

"Now that Yang Rong has been punished, and all his family members have died violently, he is a huge sin and should be eliminated. Why does the king bother to tarnish his reputation for the rest of his life, just to vent his momentary anger?"

"Your Majesty, what Dazai said is absolutely true!"

The imperial servant Shenxi hurriedly stood up, persuading with cold sweat on his forehead: "Yang Rong committed a rebellion, and he will die. But he is already dead, and when his karma is gone, why bother to blame others?"

"The servant's words are wrong!"

As Qing Ji's staunch confidant, Dian Ke Bo Tong immediately came out and said: "Yang Rong conspired against him, and he will not be forgiven. Although his relatives are dead, his offspring are still there. If someone is dissatisfied with the king and does something wrong, what should he do? "

"I heard that the weeds on the wilderness were burned by wild fire, and they were bare. In the spring of the next year, after the spring breeze blows, they will grow into lush weeds again!"

"Why? Wildfire can't burn weeds. If you want to get rid of weeds, you can only eradicate them. Just like in a crop field, if weeding doesn't get rid of the roots, wouldn't it cause endless harm?"

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Shen Xi roared out of composure: "How can mere weeds be compared with human life?"

"Your Majesty always puts the population first, so why do you treat human life like nothing?"

"Not to mention anything else, but the three clans of Yangrong, up and down, at least hundreds of people, easily killing them, isn't it against morality and against the will of the king?"

"Furthermore, I heard that King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty cast the punishment of cannon fire and killed without authorization, so it is unpopular. Now that the king punishes the three tribes of Yi, isn't it the same as King Zhou of Shang's punishment of cannon fire?"

"Bold!"

Unstoppably pointing at Shen Xi, Bo Tong reprimanded him, "Shen Xi, how dare you slander the king and compare the wise and powerful king to the tyrannical King Zhou of Shang! What is your intention?"

"Humph!"

Shen Xi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, obviously disdainful of arguing with a villain like Bo Tong.

Seeing this, Qingji just smiled lightly, and said: "Forget it. Since the second and third sons all think that the punishment of the Yi and the three tribes is very cruel, I will change it!"

"Chuan Zhao, the three clans of Yang Rong will all be demoted to official slaves!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

After receiving Qingji's retreat, all the officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly praised Qingji.

In fact, Qingji didn't really want to move out of the torture of the Yi tribe, but insisted on exterminating the Yangrong tribe.

The reason why he made such a proposal was just to beat the old family of Wu.

Warn them, if you are in a hurry, Qingji will really go on a killing spree, killing all three clans of rebels!
