As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Why should Qingji worry about everything and lay a good foundation for his successor?

It is really difficult to judge the pros and cons of the official system.

At least in this era, as a monarch, Qingji must be such a group to correct his mistakes and let himself know the gains and losses......

"Yan Zi's last legacy to the widow is to abolish the martyrdom system......"

As soon as these words came out, the court was suddenly full of shock, and there was an uproar!

No wonder Yan Ying reported the performance to Qingji after he died, so that Qingji could implement it......

But the king of the world, win the name before and after his death!

In his lifetime, there must be no minister or doctor who dares to offer this kind of policy to Qingji, he should commit a big taboo, and he will inevitably become a loser!

However, now that Yan Ying has passed away, what can I do?

"King! Cannot! Never! ”

Regarding Qingji's practice of abolishing the martyrdom system, Doctor Hu Yong immediately came out and said sharply: "King, the universe contains the sun, moon, stars, stars, wind, thunder, rain, electricity and other things, which are beyond the reach of human beings!" ”

"What caused floods, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes?"

"There is a God in heaven, and there is a God who governs nature and the blessings and misfortunes of the world!"

"Sometimes when you dream of a dead person, it is a ghost who comes to support the dream, and the person is a pawn, and although the body is gone, there are ghosts and souls!"

"Souls in the underworld should receive all that they enjoyed while on earth as they are in the yang!"

After a pause, Hu Yong looked sad again, and said: "The Son of Heaven and the princes were killed, many hundreds, and few dozens. Generals and doctors were killed, many dozens, and few few! ”

"Such a funeral ritual has long been customized! How can the king be easily abolished? ”

Hearing this, Qingji just squinted his eyes and didn't speak.

As the old minister of the Wu State, the servant Shen Xi followed and said: "King, the minister thinks what Doctor Fox said is very true! ”

"Sacrifice people to the heavens, gods, and ghosts to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, there have been people since ancient times!"

"After the death of the ancestor, he should use the chariot, horse, utensils and the concubine he loved before his death to be buried, so that the ancestor will have someone to wait in the underworld, and he can even continue to hug the left and right."

"The system of human martyrdom is not exclusive to my Wu country, throughout the ages, there are all the kingdoms in the world!"

"Please see the king!"

"Please don't abolish the system of human martyrdom!"

Following Hu Yong and Shen Xi, the old ministers of Wu such as Baoyu, Zhu Yong, and Zhu Li, as well as many ministers and doctors, all knelt down one after another, please Qingji do not abolish the martyrdom system.

But, can Qingji easily change his mind?

Above the court, such as the Great Sima Wu Zixu, the Imperial Historian Fan Li, the National Captain Sun Wu and others, they already had some wonderful expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

Is this idea of abolishing the system of human martyrdom proposed by Yan Ying, or is Qingji his own opinion?

They don't know.

However, in the early years, Qingji once told them about the harm of the human martyrdom system and inhumanity.

It is conceivable that Qingji has long had the intention to abolish the martyrdom system, but he just didn't find a suitable excuse and a suitable time.

Human martyrdom is the custom of burial with living people in ancient funerals, which is a cruel and barbaric behavior, and there is no specific implementation standard for how many people are martyred each time, but there is a general idea.

After the death of the Son of Heaven, there were hundreds of martyrs, and there were dozens of martyrs, and there were dozens of martyrs at the level of generals and doctors......

It appeared at the end of primitive society, prevailed in the era of slavery, began to decline in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and basically disappeared after the Han Dynasty.

Are you sure?

Definitely.

After the birth of the state, the martyrdom not only did not stop, but intensified.

The Shang Dynasty can be said to be the most "respectful of heaven and ancestor" of the dynasty, from the emperor to the Li Shu, all of which are extraordinarily superstitious.

This led to the death of the prince and doctor, and the people who were buried as servants, favored concubines, maidservants, guards, and miscellaneous servants are unknown.

After the Han Dynasty, the system of human martyrdom was only "declining", not none.

Because at that time, the funeral had already put on the cloak of "voluntary".

By the time of the Tang Dynasty, human martyrdom rarely occurred, but it still existed.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei rebelled and fought with the Sui soldiers, "all the wealth obtained was rewarded to the soldiers, and those who died in the war were buried with their wives and concubines...... Du Fuwei was named King of Wu after he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The resurrection of human martyrdom in the Liaojin period has been popular for nearly 700 years.

The Yuan Dynasty vigorously encouraged folk funeral behavior, and Zhu Yuanzhang opened the evil example of martyrdom in the Ming Dynasty.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the form of law was used to extend the burial to the whole country.

During the Kangxi period, the widespread system of "eight banners being buried as slaves" was banned.

However, on the one hand, Kang Mazi explicitly abolished the funeral system, and on the other hand, he vigorously commended his wife and concubine for their "voluntary" martyrdom in practical actions.

The government of various places praised the wives and concubines and martyred husbands, called them "martyrs" and "festival women", and repaired books and set up archways.

Therefore, in the end of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, human martyrdom has not been completely eradicated!

For such a system of human martyrdom, Qingji is deeply disgusted.

On the one hand, Qingji believes that the system of human martyrdom is too barbaric, cruel, and inhumane.

On the other hand, the system of human martyrdom will reduce the population of the country, which is detrimental to the society and is not worth advocating, and should be abolished.

Are there really ghosts and gods in the world?

Qingji chooses to believe that there is.

Because in this era, Qingji dared to claim that there were no ghosts and gods, which was a heresy and pushed himself to the opposite side of the world......

But how can he refute the heresies of these ministers?

In person?

Qingji unconsciously set his eyes on Fan Li, who has always been able to speak well.

Seeing this, Fan Li could only stand up and said, "Ridiculous! ”

"The system of human martyrdom is simply ridiculous!"

"Why did the Imperial Doctor say this?"

Seeing Fan Li standing up and arching the fire, Shen Xi couldn't help but look angrily and asked him to say a reason.

Fan Li did not answer Shen Xi directly, but sang loudly and sang: "Surrender the yellow bird, stop at the thorns." Who from Mu Gong? The car is dying. ”

"This is dying, centurion. In its hole, I am worried. The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved! ”

"If it can be redeemed, a person will have a hundred bodies!"

"Hand over the yellow bird, stop at the mulberry. Who from Mu Gong? The car is in the middle of the line. ”

"Defend this mid-line, the defense of the centurion. In its hole, I am worried. The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved! ”

"If it can be redeemed, a person will have a hundred bodies!"

"Handed over to the yellow bird, stop at Chu. Who from Mu Gong? Sub-needle tiger. ”

"This needle tiger, the king of centurions. In its hole, I am worried. The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved! ”

"If it can be redeemed, a person will have a hundred bodies!"

After Fan Li finished chanting, the huge court suddenly quieted down.
