How many people did the ancient Zhujiu clan need to kill?There is even a "Zhu Ten Clan", which has only happened twice
In ancient times, it was a terrible thing to be caught committing a crime. Because the punishment in ancient times was much harsher than it is now, many criminals chose to commit suicide knowing that they would not escape death. After being caught, they had to endure all kinds of torture, but they still did not escape death. It is said that the most severe punishment is the punishment of the nine tribes, so what are the nine tribes?Who is among them?Today we will talk about this topic.
Who are the Nine Clans?
It is said that the nine tribes first appeared after the Qin Dynasty changed the law, and the three tribes were razed to the ground. It is said that the father's family, the mother's family, and the groom's family are three ethnic groups, and there are records in "Later Hanshu - Yang Zhi Biography", "Zhuangzi - Xu Wugui", "Dadai Li Ji - Baofu", and "Hanshu - Yinyi". The second is that the three clans are parents, siblings, and spouses, as seen in the "Historical Records-Qin Benji". The third theory is that of fathers, sons, and grandchildren, which can be found in "Zhou Li-Chunguan-Xiaozongbo", "Liji-Liyun" and "Zhouli-Justice".
The three clans already include so many people, so how many people should the nine clans include?In the Three Character Classic, it is said that the nine clans include great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, me, children, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, great-great-great-grandson, great-great-great-grandson. Another theory is that the nine tribes include the father's four tribes, the mother's three tribes, and the wife's two tribes, making a total of nine tribes. The father's four cases include his generation, including his parents, siblings, his own children, married aunts and children, married sisters and nephews, married daughters and grandchildren. The mother's three clans refer to her grandparents' family, her grandmother's maiden family, and her aunt and son. The wife's two clans include the mother-in-law's family and the mother-in-law's mother's family.
In this circle, there are hundreds, if not thousands. If the Nine Clans are killed, it means that no one related to them will be able to survive. The main reason for this is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so that future generations will not retaliate.
Kill the Ten Tribes. In addition to the Nine Clans, there were two other people in history who were killed by the Ten Clans, and they were all descendants of the same person. This is Zhu Di, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yunwen took over the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict announcing his accession to the throne. But Fang Xiaoru was loyal to Emperor Jianwen and refused to write. Zhu Di threatened to kill him, but the old man stubbornly refused, saying that he was not afraid of killing the Ten Clans. As a result, Zhu Di, who was embarrassed and angry, not only killed his nine clans, but also arrested all his ten ** and executed them together. The total number of people is about 900.
Jingqing also killed the Ten Clans, for the same reason that Jianwen was loyal to the emperor, the assassination of Zhu Di failed, and the Ten Clans were killed.
The author personally feels that although Fang Xiaoru has completed the name of loyalty, the price is too great, right?He didn't care about his family's feelings at all, nor did he care about Zhu Di's mood, he just wanted to create his own mood. Isn't this too irresponsible, what do you think?
