Chapter 58: Oath and Guanyin to Compete for Achievements (23)
"Look at me, look at the last paragraph of Ji Wen's mother and son's confession, which is the last paragraph of the plan between the two of them, how to explain Niu Yunxia's death in childbirth.
After reading it, you'll understand why I said that! ”
The Emperor Taishang did not deliberately arouse people's appetites, and after sighing, he handed the record in his hand to Tu Minghui.
And Tu Minghui, of course, hurriedly took it respectfully.
I looked at it curiously.
After a while, he also reacted and said with a smile:
"Their mother and son are really looking for death, and they actually want to dump the death of Niu Yunxia, who was killed by them in the plan, on the pomegranate god, it is the first time I have seen such a guy who does not believe in God and wants to slander his own sins on the gods, it is really bold.
I'm afraid this is the key to the pomegranate god's shot. ”
"Father, I think this matter is easy to do, Although the pomegranate god has not yet been officially enthroned, but it has also been counted as the righteous god of the Ming Road, I don't know how many women in the world have received his favor, Ji Wen's mother and son are so blasphemous, even if they have not been implemented, it is a great rebellion.
But it is really not appropriate to give death directly.
went to exile, and his heart was not very happy.
Therefore, I think that if you give the choice to the Ji family clan, you can say that the title can be substituted for death, if you want to keep Ji Wen's life, the title will be gone, if you want to keep the title, then you have to let Ji Wen succeed the lord first, and when he does not have a title, it is quite reasonable to give death. ”
"There shouldn't be much controversy among the people, especially after the last paragraph of his plan is revealed.
Those who want to come to the gift of the pomegranate god.
It was enough for one person to drown him with a mouthful of spit. ”
Why is the title honorable, in addition to the privileges and benefits of all aspects, the most important thing is the substitution of death, generally speaking, as long as it is not a crime that touches the emperor's bottom line, you can use the title to take a crime.
Of course, this is just a general statement.
Whether you can die or not is also related to the emperor himself, when you meet a big guy like Emperor Hongwu, it is useless to have a gold medal for avoiding death, if you want to die, you still have to die.
In addition, there are operations such as rebellion and rebellion.
It is certainly not possible to substitute a knighthood for death.
But for general sins, the title of earl is definitely enough to offset it, but at this time, there are two normal situations, that is, some people are willing to use the title to replace death, and some people are unwilling, but generally speaking, it is not the turn of those people to choose by themselves, and it depends on the emperor's will.
If it is a king of the opposite sex, a title that has already threatened the imperial power, the emperor will of course try to make them use the title to atone for their crimes as soon as he finds an excuse, and cut the title.
Resolutely not miss the opportunity to weaken them.
But if it is some small titles, whether they are harmless at all, then of course the clan elders can operate a little, and would rather send people to prison and exile, or even die, but have to keep the title.
After all, for these small families, the title is almost the foundation of their family, and once the title is stripped away, they may not be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
It is precisely because of the existence of such unspoken rules in the current dynasty.
Ji Wen's cousin will be willing to cooperate with Niu Yunxia, after all, if he helps to get through, in the end, except for losing his own title, if he has nothing to gain, then what is he tossing, I am afraid that those elders in the family will have to beat him up madly.
"You don't think this is your original idea, there is a convention on this matter, you don't need to say it so bluntly, just let Dai Quan pass the decree."
The Emperor Taishang saw that his son Tu Minghui had a somewhat smug look, and immediately complained bluntly and unhappily.
Although Tu Minghui didn't know that there was a custom to do this, he didn't argue with his father about anything, and he would find out what he didn't know later, so in the end, he just smiled and said that he still needed to learn, and then he told Dai Quan to pass on the decree, and told him to go to the household department first to bring the official in charge of the succession of the title, and settle this matter as soon as possible, so that they would have to worry about it again.
Eh, that's right, the inheritance of ordinary titles is basically managed by the household department, after all, the household department is mainly in charge of household registration, and the inheritance of the title is essentially a kind of household registration, which should naturally be managed by the household department, but many high titles and royal princes, the emperor will intervene.
Therefore, it seems that the succession of the title is managed by the emperor himself, but in fact, how can the emperor manage the succession of everyone's titles, and he will manage it if he cares.
The succession to the ordinary title is under the control of the household department.
The succession to the royal title is managed by the clan.
At most, the emperor occasionally cares about it, or encounters some pleasant or even unpleasant interventions.
No way, the rules are the rules, but the emperor is indeed above all the rules, he doesn't follow the rules, change his son's title, title or something, or change the heir of a certain prince or something, the household and the clan can't twist their arms and thighs, they can only admit it.
……
Originally, the people on the Dali Temple thought that they would have to wait for a long time, and even today there may not be a holy decree issued, but they didn't expect it, but it was less than an hour.
Dai Quan came back.
He also came back with two household officials, several household officials, the Ji family's household registration yellow book, and the holy decree.
The next step is pretty much the same as the process just now.
Anyway, kneel down first and listen to the order.
The difference is that after listening to the will this time, many people were stunned, because most people didn't expect that the emperor would use blasphemy as a starting point and sentence Ji Wen to death.
Looking at the officials who came over, His Majesty's meaning is quite obvious, that is, let those elders of the Ji family quickly choose someone to inherit Ji Wen's title.
Then the chronicles were taken to the previous sins.
In addition, the crime of blasphemy against the society and the righteous gods was sentenced to death.
Although some people think that it is not inappropriate to do this, after all, it is a holy decree, and the Emperor Taishang and the new emperor both agreed, so naturally no one dared to say anything, so the matter was finalized.
The next step is to do what you want.
As well as with Dai Quan leaving.
The nobles present discussed in private.
"Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to add the crime of blasphemy to the gods, doesn't it seem that Your Majesty they don't ask the meaning of ghosts and gods? Odd! ”
"Ordinary blasphemy is naturally fine, and no one says anything, but don't forget, the holy decree clearly mentions that it is the Sheji God, the so-called Sheji God, that is the god that needs to be sacrificed when His Majesty sacrifices to the sky!
For example, Haotian, such as the Five Emperors!
Say you don't learn no skills, I'll just tell you, usually we worship those Guanyin Buddha or something, are not the Sheji God, even the Jade Emperor is not counted, in ancient times, Taiyi was the Sheji God, but it was later eliminated, and now there are only nine Sheji God, that is, Haotian and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. ”
"Isn't the pomegranate god counted?"
"It doesn't count now, but Your Majesty has already set the process of this year's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and the most important point is to set the pomegranate god as the new Sheji God, but it has not been officially sealed yet.
But if His Majesty insists on saying yes.
That can't be refuted either......"
"It seems that this guy Ji Wen has really provoked the anger of the public, even His Majesty can't look past it and wants him to die!"
"Wait, have you ever considered that the so-called blasphemy is not an excuse, but it is true, and even the god of pomegranates is involved, so that the prophecy dream that Niu Yunxia said is reasonable."
"This ......"
"At the end of Ji Wen's plan, didn't he want to throw the pot where Niu Yunxia died in childbirth to the pomegranate god?"
"Damn, it's really possible to ......"
