The crime of "nine tribes" is the highest punishment for the ancient clan to sit together. What are the Nine Tribes? One theory is that from the person concerned, count four generations up to the high ancestor, count the next four generations to the Xuansun, these eight generations, and so on, and so on, the generation of their own, it is exactly the Nine Tribes. According to common sense, the Nine Clans killed the parties and their relatives until there was nothing to kill, which was already the extreme of the criminal law, but Ming Chengzu Zhu Di invented the "Nine Clans".
Zhu Di was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was rumored that he was not the concubine born to Empress Ma, but among the sons, he was the most like his father in appearance and disposition, so he was most loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. Unfortunately, the crown prince's seat was taken by his eldest brother Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was gentle and respectful, and he also cared for his brothers, and was regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang as the best candidate for the king of Shoucheng, so although Zhu Di was slightly dissatisfied, he did not have any chance, so he was at ease to be the king of his own domain and defended the city of Beijing.
Later, Zhu Biao died of illness and died young, leaving behind a son, Zhu Yunjiao. Zhu Yunjiao and his father Zhu Biao are too similar, they are just as gentle and benevolent, and most importantly, Yunjiao has lived by the side of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time and is very filial to him. Zhu Yuanzhang was old, and he really needed to have a grandson by his side, so he couldn't do without Zhu Yunjiao, and finally naturally passed the throne to him, which was Emperor Jianwen.
Zhu Yunjiao was young, politically immature, and not as talented as his uncle Zhu Di, but he was a righteous and obedient 95-year-old who commanded the world, and Zhu Di was just the king of the Northern Kingdom who lived in a remote corner, so although he did not look up to this nephew and was not convinced of him, he did not have the idea of usurping and usurping.
As a last resort. Because Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others around Zhu Yunjiao vigorously threw Zhu Yunjiao into the domain. Zhu Yunjiao acted according to his plan, so he gave one by one the kings of the clan who had been stripped of their titles and imprisoned for human crimes, and Zhu Di in the north was terrified. Soon, Zhu Di finally rebelled. When he became emperor, Zhu Di began a great purge of those who had previously opposed him. For example, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and others all adopted the punishment of the Jie clan, while Tie Xuan, who resisted the longest and repeatedly defeated Zhu Di, was cut off his ears and nose, destroyed his limbs, and threw his body into a frying pan, which was terrible. However, the encounters of Qi, Huang and others, compared with a generation of famous scholars, Fang Xiaoru, are already small witches and big witches.
Fang Xiaoru's talent was famous all over the world, and Zhu Di also cherished it very much and could not bear to kill, so he tried everything to win him over. However, Fang Xiaoru was not impressed by these things. Zhu Di said to him, "I had no intention of taking the throne, and now I have entered the capital, but I am only imitating the Duke of Zhou and assisting him to become a king." Fang Xiaoru looked up and stared, "Where is King Cheng?" This king naturally refers to Emperor Jianwen. Zhu Di said helplessly, "He is gone." Fang Xiaoru still refused to give up, and then asked, "Why don't you become the son of the king?" Zhu Di said, "He has no queen." Fang Xiaoru shouted, "What about King Cheng's younger brother?" Zhu Di's patience finally disappeared, and he said angrily, "This is a family affair of Yuan, don't bother you to be more careful!" So he asked him to draft an edict to ascend the throne, thinking that Fang Xiaoru had only written four big characters of "Usurpation of the Throne by the King of Yan", Song Di asked: "Are you not afraid that I will kill you?" Fang Xiaoru said, "If you kill me, I will not go along with you." Zhu Di sneered, "If it's so easy, I'm going to curse you Nine Tribes." Fang Xiaoru said angrily, "What is the nine tribes that curse me, and what about the ten tribes that you have the ability to curse me?" ”
This sentence caused a great disaster, and the fierce Zhu Di really cursed his Ten Tribes. Where did this tenth race come from? It turned out that Fang Xiaoru's past friends were exactly ten tribes. On the eighth day of Zhu Di's reign as emperor, he deliberately set up a torture table at the Jubao Gate in Nanjing, and began to kill Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, Fang Xiaoru's generation of state soldiers, who did not care about his own death at all, but watched his relatives and friends being killed in front of him, and the pain in his heart was really difficult to describe. However, he did not succumb to Zhu Di's promiscuity, but just waited for the moment of his own death to come, and for him, it was already a relief.
The massacre lasted seven days and killed more than 800 people. The last to die was, of course, Fang Xiaoru, who cursed incessantly, and his mouth was cut off by Zhu Di to the ear, and then his tongue was cut off, and he was punished with Ling Chi. The reason why a person is a man is not the length of his life, but because he has persistence, strives hard for his own beliefs, and is indomitable fang xiaoru loyal to emperor Jianwen, perhaps it is just a foolish loyalty to the emperor, but he paid the price of his life for this, this is where his sincerity lies, Fang Xiaoru is a reader, without the strength of a chicken, but his inner strength is not much stronger than those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who sell the lord for glory.
