The imperial city of Longqi Kingdom, inside the imperial palace.

Wang Guifeng, the monarch of the Longqi Kingdom, had a sad face!

He had just received the news that the Long Qi Kingdom had already fallen to more than half of its land in just seven days!

The Imperial City is located in the middle of the Dragon Qi Kingdom, which means that Xia Xu's army is not far from here!

"Qi Qi Shengshang, the army of the Eastern Sui Kingdom is only three hundred miles away from the imperial city, they have a castle that can move, the speed is very fast, it is estimated that the army can come to the city before dark!" a wounded general hurriedly reported.

"What! At such a fast speed, how good are we!"

"Which other general is willing to fight!" said the monarch Wang Guifeng fiercely.

"Your Majesty, the Generalissimo and his twenty-eight generals died on the battlefield, at least thirty slave generals in the slave corps have rebelled, and with the rebel generals from all over the country, we may not have any generals who can stand alone!" said an old minister tremblingly.

Wang Guifeng's face turned pale, "Then let my princes fight!" Send 240,000 royal troops to intercept the enemy army!"

"Your Majesty, the Royal Corps is the foundation of guarding the Imperial City......" the other minister said in fear.

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Guifeng interrupted him: "As a slave owner, you must have the consciousness of a slave owner! Sons can be reborn when they die! But if the foundation is gone, there will be nothing!"

Wang Guifeng is also a ruthless person!

As the biggest slave owner, he is really ruthless!

The emergence of the slave-owning class is an inevitable phenomenon at a certain stage in the development of human society. At the end of primitive society, with the increase of productivity, the increase of surplus products, and the development of exchange, the clan nobles increasingly seized property, herds, and land, and some ordinary clan members gradually became impoverished and even reduced to the servants of the clan nobles; at the same time, the prisoners in the war became the private property of the victors.

The emergence of the slave-owning class is an inevitable phenomenon of the development of social history to a certain stage. Under the conditions of private property and the disparity between the rich and the poor, with the widespread use of bronze tools, when the productive forces developed to the point where the labor of the laborers could provide surplus products, the nobles of the clan increasingly seized property and land, first captives in war, and then the poor and bankrupt clan members into their own slaves. In this way, the clan nobility was gradually transformed into a slave-owning class. There was another process of formation of slave owners: some farming families diverged due to a naturally occurring division of labor. Those wealthy families absorb a small number of laborers and turn them into slaves, and the masters become slave owners. According to the social status of the slave owner class, it can be divided into aristocratic slave owners and industrial and commercial slave owners. The former included royalty, nobles, eunuchs, religious priests, etc., while the latter included farm owners, workshop owners, large merchants, and usurers.

Long......

"Oh no! Your Majesty, all your eighteen princes have been killed in battle! The 240,000 Royal Legion has been wiped out!"

The herald hurriedly ran in and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Not only that, but the people in the imperial city have also begun to riot, especially those slaves, who are frantically attacking all the nobles!"

Wang Guifeng stood on the spot!

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat!

The ruler is like a ship, the people are like water, water can not only make the ship sail safely, but also overturn and swallow the ship and sink into the water, things are used properly is beneficial, vice versa must be harmful!

Wang Guifeng said in a trembling voice: "The widow was born in the deep palace, growing up in the hands of a woman, and the widow has not tasted sorrow, sorrow, labor, fear, or danger. ”

An old minister said: "What the king asks, what the holy monarch asks, how can you know the Qiu and the villain?"

"It's not my son who doesn't hear of it. ”

"Jun into the temple door and right, climb from the steps, look up at the building, look down on a few feasts, its utensils, its people die, the king to mourn, then the mourning will not come? And Qiu Wenzhi, the monarch, the boat, the people, the water. The water will carry the boat, and the water will overturn the boat.

Wang Guifeng was heartbroken! He said coldly:

"The people are in power, and then the gentlemen are in place." It is said: 'The monarch is also the boat, the man is the water, the water is the boat, the water is the boat, and the water is the overturned'!"

The old minister said: "The minister heard the ancient saying: 'The king, the boat is also, and the people are also the water.'" Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Your Majesty thought it terrible, as it was a holy decree. ”

"The grievance is not great, but it is fearful, and it is advisable to be cautious when the boat is overturned. ”

The old minister said: "The monarch is also a boat, and the person who is a man is also water, and the water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat." ”

The ruler is like a boat, and the people are like a river, and the water can either carry the boat or drown it!

"The grievance is not big, but it is terrifying. It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. ”

Resentment is not about the size, it is only in the people's hearts that they deviate. Water can carry ships and capsize, so a high degree of caution should be exercised.

"Gentlemen, boats, people, water, water can carry boats and overturn boats. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty deeply understood that the power of the people was extremely great, and they greatly emphasized the importance of relying on the strength of the people. This brilliant idea of theirs has been accepted by successive generations of the ruling class. It has played an active role in promoting the active participation of successive rulers in respecting the people's feelings and public opinions, and ruling for the people.

But slavery blinded them!

They all have to pay for their actions!

It is easy to fall into the sea and drain the mountains, and it is difficult to recover the cliffs and dams. It is often quiet and secluded through all things, and occasionally vacates the gully. The boat is also capsized.

Pieces of cooking smoke and green fields, surging life liquid flow. Abandon filth unabstainingly, vent by wish, and be greedy and wantonly. Worry-free and worry-free.

At this moment, a bloodied general ran in from outside the palace!

"Qi Qi Sheng, that Xia Xu has already entered the Imperial City!"

"What, so fast? There are 150,000 garrisons in the imperial city! They are all elite soldiers! How can they be so vulnerable!"

"It seems that the fall of the Dragon Qi Kingdom is imminent!"

Some people began to whisper, apparently planning for the future!

The bloodied general said again: "Most of the garrison of the imperial city has defected! The generalissimo of the Eastern Sui State named Xia Xu also said that everyone should be given half an hour to surrender, otherwise the civil and military officials will destroy the three clans, and the royal family will punish the nine clans!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked!

That is, those who commit special serious crimes, especially those who are guilty of conspiracy against the three ethnic groups, will be sentenced to the capital punishment of exterminating the three ethnic groups based on policy considerations, so as to obtain the effect of intimidation and punishment. This is a concrete manifestation of the concept of kinship in criminal law.

"In the twentieth year of Duke Wen, there was a crime of Yi three clans at the beginning. ”

"Qin Zheng is fierce, one person is guilty, and it extends to the three clans. It can be seen that the three tribes of Yi originated in the name of punishment. Since the law of the ninth chapter, there is an order of the three tribes. In the first year of the reign of the Emperor, the punishment was abolished in view of its cruelty. This was followed by the Aragaki Taira Rebellion. In order to punish the traitors, the punishment of the three tribes had to be restored. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Peng Yue, Han Xin and other names were punished by the three tribes. The scope of the three ethnic groups varies according to the different eras.

"The three clans are limited to the same clan for a long time, the younger brothers, and the younger Kundi. ”

"Father, brother and wife. ”

For example, it is said: "Father's family, mother's family, and wife's family." “

"In the first year of filial piety, the prime minister, the captain, and the imperial historian were now the offenders, and the innocent parents and wives were given the same property and received them, and I did not even take them. As for the people of the three tribes, according to the criminal law, they will first slash them, cut off their left and right toes, and answer to kill them; Those who slander and curse will first cut off their tongues, so they are said to have five punishments. “

"The difference between the three clans is to distinguish between relatives and relatives. “

"The three clans are the father, the son, and the grandson. “

"But the three tribes are not in danger, so that so-and-so also ask for auspicious days. “

"The three clans are called the father Kundi, the self-Kundi, and the son Kundi. Press, the front note is according to the father's words, so the cloud son, the grandson note is according to the son's words, so the cloud has and the son, and the two notes have the same meaning. “

It is called the father's family, the mother's family, and the wife's family.

"The three tribes complement each other. ”

"Three clans, father's clan, mother's clan, and wife's clan. “

"The husband and the monarch eat together, Ze and the three tribes, and the parents are concerned! “

"Qin Zheng is cruel, violates the heart of heaven, one person is guilty, and it extends to the three clans. “

"Father's family, mother's family, and wife's family. “

Parents, brothers, and wives. "At the beginning of the law, there were three sins. "Parents, brothers, wives too.

The Nine Clans are even more cruel!

The nine tribes of Zhu come from the law of the three tribes after the law. "Nine clans" refers to relatives. The "nine clans" are from the high queen mother to the great-great-grandson, that is, the great-grandson, the great-grandson, the grandson, the son, the body, the mother, the queen mother, the great-queen mother, and the high queen mother; Father family four refers to aunt and son (aunt and cousin), sister and son (niece, niece and nephew), daughter and son (granddaughter and grandson), and own clan (mother, father, brother, son); maternal family three refers to the mother's father family (grandfather's family), mother's mother family (grandma's mother's family, grandma's family), from mother and her son (from mother, sister and mother's brother); wife family two refers to grandma's father's family (father-in-law's family), grandmother's mother family (mother-in-law's mother's family, grandmother's family). The emergence of the term "nine ethnic groups" has a lot to do with the criminal law system. In ancient times, the cruel Zhulian Law was practiced, and if one person violated the law, especially the Dafa, he would often be exterminated by the "Nine Clans", that is, the "Zhulian Nine Clans". With the changes of the times, the meaning of "nine clans" has changed greatly, and the meaning of their relatives has faded out and has become a generic term for all people related to them.

Father 4: refers to one's own family. Married aunts and cousins, aunts and cousins, married sisters and nieces, nieces, married daughters and granddaughters, grandchildren's families.

Maternal family three: refers to the family of the grandmother, the grandmother's maiden aunt's family, the grandmother's family, the mother (aunt, the mother

Basking family 2: refers to the mother-in-law's father-in-law's family, and the mother-in-law's maiden aunt's grandmother's family.

"Raiding the family" and "exterminating the clan" are often used together, with the aim of cutting down the grass and roots—completely removing the strength and connections of revenge. Shaokang Zhongxing's "Youtian Yicheng, Youzhong One Brigade" is an inexhaustible consequence, and Wu Zixu and Wu Huachu are the result of incomplete extermination. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang began to have the cool method of "clan punishment", first the "three tribes", and then became more and more cruel, from the three tribes, the five tribes to the nine tribes - the three clans of the father, the three clans of the mother, and the three clans of the grandmother.

We divide the nine tribes (five suits) into one clan (one suit), three clans (two suits), five clans (three suits), seven clans (亖服), and nine clans (five suits). Out of the Nine Clans (out of five suits).

We divide the relatives into the main family, the in-laws (the mother-in-law, the mother's mother's family), the three-parent family (the mother-in-law, the grandmother's mother's family), the fourth parent-in-law family (the mother-in-law, the grandmother's mother's family), and the fifth family's family (the mother-in-law's mother-in-law, the grandmother's mother's family).

The nine clans are relatives and in-laws within the nine clans.

Concubines and male pets are not members of their own family, nor do they belong to the Nine Clans. It's just a high-ranking official and a minion. In feudal society, it is not a person, it is an object, which can be shared by mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, women and men. It cannot be buried with the owner after death.
