After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad
Chapter 772 Follow-up reaction"What? Zhuge Yu led the Yongzhou War?! Didn't he once say that he would not come out of seclusion unless he met a wise leader?!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
His friend nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Are you afraid that the Imperial City Office can't hear you? Since Mr. Zhuge has come out of seclusion, it means he has found a wise master."
As for who the wise leader is, it is definitely not the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
"Thank you for your reminder, brother. So, the book donation to Wolong Academy is not groundless?"
Some time ago, there were rumors that Wolong Academy donated all its books to Yunzhou.
At that time, the teachers and the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy all concluded that this was a rumor, and it might have been deliberately spread by Duke Yun just to get families to donate books.
Now it seems that Mr. Zhuge has gone to deal with the important affairs of Yongzhou, so it is reasonable for Wolong Academy to donate books.
The three giants of the world's literary world are Zhuge Yu, Cui Sanlun, and Zhu Xiongying.
Cui Sanlun is the adoptive father of Duke Yun. He has been serving Duke Yun since he arrived in Kyoto. After arriving in Yunzhou, he has rejuvenated his career and has been guarding Shuozhou honestly.
Zhuge Yu first donated books and then led troops to Yongzhou. It was obvious that he was meat in the pot of Duke Yun.
Although Lord Zhu is in Nanjun, I heard that he has a very close relationship with Duke Yun. Last year, Matsutake mushrooms became very popular, and it seems that he and Duke Yun were involved in it.
Yunzhou also has the Wanshu Building which is about to be built...
The two good brothers looked at each other, their eyes full of eagerness.
What should I do? I am so excited and want to go to Yunzhou too!
Many people are moved, and even more people take action.
The head of the Imperial City Department took the report from his subordinates, frowned, and hesitated a little, wondering whether he should inform His Majesty about this matter.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
The atmosphere in the palace was getting worse day by day. The maids and eunuchs in the palace wished they were deaf, blind, or wooden. They all had expressionless faces.
The head of the Imperial City Bureau has become accustomed to this. He also knows that the salaries of palace servants hired by the palace are 30% higher than before. Even so, it is still difficult to recruit people.
The young emperor raised his eyes, his sharp gaze stained his narrow and beautiful black pupils with a thin layer of cold ice mist: "Who are they?"
“Ah?!” The leader of the Imperial City Division was stunned. There are so many people, do we have to report them all?
The head of the Imperial City Division glanced at the Emperor of Great Zhou and saw that he seemed serious, so he stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and read out the names one by one.
This thought lasted until the sun set and the bright moon rose into the sky.
The leader of the Imperial City Division's throat was about to smoke when he finally said the last name.
The young emperor had a grim expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The leader of the Imperial City Division did not dare to act rashly. His muscles were tense, as if a ferocious beast was sitting on him.
The young emperor said calmly, as if he was saying that the weather was nice today: "Arrest them all, put them in jail, and charge them with treason."
hiss.
The leader of the Imperial City Division felt his fingers go numb and he reflexively wanted to look up, but then he dropped them again.
Really caught?!
There are at least thousands of people on the list.
There were ten unforgivable crimes to be punished in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the third one was treason, that is, defecting to another country.
Anyone who commits this crime will be sentenced to death and his relatives will be implicated.
As for whether three generations or nine clans will be implicated, that depends on the intention of the current emperor.
Even if three generations are implicated, that would involve tens of thousands of households.
That's not it, is it?
Besides, if we really want to investigate this matter, what should we do with the Cui family and other families in Xiangzhou?
The head of the Imperial City Division was in a dilemma. If this matter were to be reported to the court and Imperial Tutor Tong got to know about it, wouldn't he be skinned alive?
The Imperial City Bureau is not well-received to begin with. If I do this, will I still be able to survive after I leave office?
"Why don't you leave?" The young emperor raised his eyes, his dark eyes were like thick ink, looking lifeless.
The head of the Imperial City Department moved his fingers slightly at his side and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to implicate your relatives?"
The young emperor rested his chin on his hand and tapped his fingers on the table.
The head of the Imperial City Division had a bad feeling in his heart, and sure enough, the next second he heard the young emperor say lightly: "Punish all nine clans."
The pupils of the leader of the Imperial City Division suddenly dilated.
Since ancient times, there has been only one recorded case of a person being implicated along with nine generations of his family.
That is the example of Yang Xuangan in the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Xuangan's rebellion failed and his body was dismembered and displayed to the public by Emperor Yang of Sui, and his entire family was also punished.
These nine clans are four from the father's clan, three from the mother's clan and two from the wife's clan.
Father’s brothers, sisters and children, one’s own sisters and children, daughters and children, and uncles and aunts in the same clan.
Grandfather’s family, grandmother’s family, aunt and children.
Father-in-law's family, mother-in-law's family.
The head of the Imperial City Division was completely numb. He could no longer hold back and raised his head to carefully examine the young emperor's expression.
Although the young emperor's face was a little pale, his eyes were clear and it was obvious that he had not drunk any alcohol.
Since you didn't drink, why did you make such a decision?
"All of them?" The head of the Imperial City Division was buzzing.
It seems that someone on the list is my brother-in-law’s cousin.
I shouldn't be counted among the nine clans, right?
"All."
The chief of the Imperial City Division walked towards the palace gate in a daze. As soon as he walked out of the door, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
"Sir!" The soldier guarding the city gate hurried over to help.
The leader of the Imperial City Division waved his hands, muttering softly, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling," and staggered towards the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
After hearing what the Imperial City Bureau said, Grand Tutor Tong stood up abruptly, without even having time to change his clothes, and got on the carriage to meet the Emperor.
The emperor was already annoyed with him, so how could he be willing to see him?
Grand Tutor Tong had no choice but to go straight to the Minister of Justice's residence without any regard for avoiding suspicion.
“What?! Treason? Punishing the entire clan?!” The Minister of Justice felt his scalp tingling.
Isn't this nonsense?
It's just a small matter, but you charge him with treason.
"Does your majesty still want his reputation?"
How was Emperor Yang of Sui cursed by later generations?
Not to mention him, even Li Si and Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty were only executed along with their three clans.
According to unofficial history, Jing Ke's seven clans were implicated only after his attempt to assassinate Qin Shi Huang failed.
Looking back at history, there are only a few cases of implicated relatives, and at most the entire family was executed.
This whole family being executed naturally does not include relatives.
Master Tong's cheeks swelled up, and blisters formed at the corners of his mouth: "We can't do this, we can't start this!"
The Minister of Justice naturally knew the importance of this matter. Zheng Se said, "Don't worry, Grand Master. Even if the Imperial City Temple arrests everyone, we still have to follow the procedures. We need solid evidence before we can convict them."
The crime of treason is not easy to convict, as the prerequisite is to defect to another country.
Duke Yun has not officially become king, so in a sense, Yunzhou is not considered a country.
If we keep arguing about this point, it could take at least a year or two.
The Minister of Justice sighed, saying that the government was becoming more and more arbitrary, with one idea today and another idea tomorrow, which really made the people under him miserable.
"Why did he think of punishing the entire clan?"
Is this something a normal person would think?
The head of the Imperial City Department burst into tears: "The emperor has been obsessed with the storybook "The First Emperor of the Immortal Realm" recently."
