Friends who often watch costume dramas should have heard the words "Zhulian Nine Tribes", accompanied by the king like a companion tiger, doing things around the emperor, may be wrong in a word, your life will not be protected, people who have committed a terrible crime will be "cursed by the Nine Tribes", the consequences are particularly serious. Although there were many fugitives at that time, their crimes were not very serious, and the people of the Nine Tribes who were accused of the Nine Tribes often sat at home and waited for death.
First of all, we must know what the "Nine Tribes" are. In ancient times, they believed that "nine" was the highest number and had a noble meaning, so the emperor called "Nine Five-Five", wearing the "Nine Dragon Robes", creating the "Nine Dragon Wall", and it was homophonous with "Jiu", meaning long and long, small numbers, and even hidden so many meanings of the ancients.
So "Nine Ethnic Groups" refers to relatives in general, not really a number, there was also the saying of "Jie Shi Clan", which originated from Fang Xiaoru during the Ming Dynasty, Xiaobian had to say that he was not good, when Zhu Di usurped the throne and got the throne, he insulted Zhu Di, saying "Yan Thief usurped the throne", Zhu Di warned him to curse the Nine Clans, he said: "Even if I am accused of the Ten Clans, what? Angry, Zhu Di classified Fang Xiaoru's students into the "Tenth Clan" and killed them together, and finally killed a total of 873 people, and thousands of people were exiled, which was really terrible!
It can be seen from this that the Jiujiu clan did not kill all the clansmen, at that time, according to the relationship between relatives and the main criminal, it was divided into "death penalty and exile", and the law during the Jin Dynasty clearly stipulated that women were not killed, only exiled, so whether you were your own family or your own family, all of them were convicted, one person broke the law, the whole clan suffered, it didn't matter if you escaped, can the whole clan escape? So the first reason not to run away is that I don't want to implicate all the clansmen, and I don't want to cut off my children and grandchildren.
The second reason is the fear of adding sin to sin. As early as the Spring and Autumn Warring States period in China, in 522 BC, in order to hunt down Wu Zixu, who had fled for his life, the King of Chuping sent people to post portraits with Wu Zixu's name written all over the country, and also gave a rich reward of "50,000 stone rice as a bounty, sealing the title of the whistleblower doctor", what is the concept?
At that time, 3 or 4 copper plates can buy 1 burnt cake, thousands of readers want to become high-ranking officials all their lives, as long as you find a fugitive, money, official position is not a problem, it can be said that everyone in the country wants to arrest the fugitive, in this case, it is really difficult to fly.
The emperor could have given him a hard time, the knife fell and the knife fell to his death, but he had to dare to escape, the ancient torture was not unknown to everyone, what Ling Chi, car cracks, face crepe, everything made people worse off than dead, not everyone had the courage to try, it was better to sit at home and wait for death.
The third reason is a bit tragic to say, is the "servility" of people under the ancient feudal imperial power. This sentence "The king let the subject die, the subject had to die" Everyone has heard it, when the loyal minister Bigan was asked by the King of Shang to cut his heart in public, he did not say a word and took out his heart; the Qianlong Emperor wanted to make a joke about Ji Xiaolan, who was very witty, and let him show his loyalty, Ji Xiaolan replied: "The king wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die." After saying that, he went to jump into the river, and the Qianlong Emperor quickly stopped him.
It can be seen from this that if the ancient emperor wanted your life, you had to obey, and when he said that he wanted to curse the Nine Tribes, he honestly waited for the Nine Tribes to be cursed, which was really helpless.
