Zhao Hanzhang stood on a restaurant and looked down. From here, he could see the execution ground.
Thirty-eight people were executed this time, all of them bandit leaders and their family heads.
Among them, Xun's father was the most angry. He screamed and cursed all the way, and he continued to curse even as he was being led to kneel on the execution ground.
Although the people who were watching hated Xun Xiu, they still couldn't hit Xun's father's old face, especially when they heard his scolding words.
Xun's father didn't hate Xun Xiu for getting him killed, he just hated him for getting him and his whole family exterminated. This was what he had been scolding. Seeing that the butcher's knife was about to be raised, he finally finished his last sentence, "Ru Fei
My son, if in the next life you keep pigs and sheep in my pen, I will kill you!"
Xun Xiu's face was pale, and there were marks on his forehead and face from the stones. They were green and white at this time, which was very ugly.
Fu Tinghan, who only has an indifferent clan concept, cannot understand, "Is exterminating the clan more serious than being beheaded if the whole family is accused?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "For people in this era, it is like this. To eliminate the clan means to have no ancestors. You can imagine that a devout believer is expelled and abandoned by the Lord of his faith. This is equivalent to spiritual exile. China
People believe in their ancestors and believe that the world after death is as important as before life, so they attach great importance to it."
"This is just one aspect of it. Also, if the clan is eliminated, their names and deeds will be deleted from the genealogy. Only a very small number of people in this world can leave a mark in the history books. For the gentry, they left behind
The path of footprints is still in the genealogy.”
She said: "So once their names and deeds are crossed out from the genealogy, there will probably be no traces of them left in this world. For them, it is like they have never been to this world."
Scholars always have some special ideals, such as leaving something behind in this world.
Even she also has this idea. It is rare to come to this world, but she must leave something in this world.
Zhao Hanzhang thought, this time killing the chicken to scare the monkeys should be effective for a while, right?
She didn't know that it didn't just work.
Xun Xiu's fate made the gentry and wealthy families in the world fearful and rebel. In addition to gaining power, isn't their biggest wish to honor their ancestors?
Originally, if the rebellion failed, he would probably die, but he would be a good man again after eighteen years.
If you want to gain profits, you have to take risks, they understand.
But Xun's fate let them know that once they rebelled, if they failed, not only would they and their family die, but they would also be exterminated, and they would not be able to live in peace even if they died. Let alone being a good man again after eighteen years, I'm afraid
Eighteen years later, they are still lonely ghosts, and it is difficult for them to enter the animal realm.
This risk is too great. Unless you are a special pervert, no one is willing to take this risk.
Even King Langya of Jiangnan was frightened by Zhao Hanzhang's cruelty. Although he received Wang Han's head, he didn't dare to say a word and silently accepted the head.
Naturally, Xuzhou also quietly changed its governor.
King Langya's fiefdom is in Xuzhou, so he has been operating in Xuzhou for many years. If someone else were to be the governor, he would definitely not be able to perform well, and he would be ignored by King Langya even if he died.
But...the person who went there was named Liu Kun.
Liu Kun has a lot of problems in Zhao Hanzhang's opinion, but he is like a thumb among the gentry, and he has a charm about him. As long as he wants, he can become good friends with anyone.
Oh, by the way, Duan Pizhen, who was asked by Zhao Hanzhang to be a proton, is a very good example.
In the early years, Liu Kun relied on Tuoba Xianbei, while Wang Jun cooperated with Duan Xianbei. The two sides often fought with each other, so the relationship between Duan Xianbei and Liu Kun was very bad.
But in history, after Tuoba Xianbei's accident, Liu Kun was able to surpass Wang Jun and Duan Xianbei and become good friends, and formed a deep friendship with Duan Pixian and others.
Unfortunately, in the end, Duan Pixi suspected Liu Kun due to Wang Dun's instigation and killed him.
Although Duan Pixi killed Liu Kun in the end, he still liked Liu Kun deep down in his heart. Ahem, Zhao Hanzhang gave this example to tell everyone that Liu Kun was very popular in Xuzhou and quickly opened up the situation.
After Xuzhou lost Wang Han as its governor, not only was there no chaos, but it became even more prosperous. Some nobles even had the intention of alienating King Langya and followed Liu Kun in favor of Zhao Hanzhang.
Of course, they consciously did not favor Zhao Hanzhang, but the little emperor. The little emperor was the orthodox king. King Langya... was a little further away after all. If they followed him, wouldn't it be like the previous Eight Kings Rebellion?
Look, the situation that King Langya had been operating for more than ten years was broken by Liu Kun holding a few banquets and concerts.
Zhao Hanzhang was envious and at the same time gave an order to Liu Kun, asking him to pay attention to people's livelihood, prepare to open a school in Xuzhou, take in refugees, and do a good job in sowing winter wheat...
Of course, these are the most trivial things in all government affairs at present. Zhao Hanzhang just said and issued an order. What is more eye-catching in the court at the moment are the funerals of several emperors, as well as their posthumous names, temple names, etc.
There is no problem with the funeral specifications of their own emperors and late emperors, and it is not difficult to have posthumous titles and temple titles. The difficult ones are those of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong.
Half of the people in the court believed that Liu Yuan and Liu Cong were rebellious officials and traitors. Just giving them a title such as a general and a posthumous title starting with Wu would be enough to give them face;
But the other half think it's inappropriate.
Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom really existed, and Liu Yuan did a lot after the founding of the country. Even if their positions are opposite, they cannot deny Liu Yuan or the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom. This is respect for history, and it is also
A piece of wealth that future generations deserve.
What's more, the Xiongnu clan is still there, and completely denying the existence of the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom is obviously not conducive to national unity and world stability.
So they thought they should give Liu Yuan and Liu Cong the posthumous names and temple names of the emperors. As for Liu He in the middle, forget it, his time as emperor was so short that Liu Cong didn't even know where his body was thrown. Since they
If the body is not found, then just pretend it is not there and restore his previous title.
So the question is, what are the posthumous titles of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong respectively?
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were quarreling over this matter, but Zhao Hanzhang didn't seem to be in a hurry. He would listen to opinions from time to time and deal with other government affairs more. When the attention of many people was attracted, he would send out his men.
Already.
Zhao Kuan was about to take the order to go to Qingzhou, and he would go with Sun Linghui. After choosing a time, he found a time to say goodbye to Zhao Ming.
He didn't come empty-handed, he brought a box of plaster, "Uncle Ming, this is a plaster made by a traveler I know. It's very easy to use. Please give it a try."
Zhao Ming's eyes fell on the box and he frowned, "What should I use this for?"
Zhao Kuan: "Don't you have back pain after being kicked by cousin Shen? Take this sticker."
Zhao Ming's face darkened and he said, "It's already over. You don't need this. You can take it back to your father."
