We all know that in ancient times on the mainland, there were many court officials in every dynasty, and the families of these officials almost all lived in hundreds of people, some of these people were the relatives of officials, and some were servants and housekeepers who served officials and their families, but I believe that everyone has heard a sentence that is," "accompanying the king like a companion tiger", staying by the emperor's side is like this, after all, in ancient times, the emperor was the most noble person with the most prestigious status and the greatest power, and it was also a symbol of the supremacy of a dynasty. Often the emperor's words can easily determine the life and death or rise and fall of a person or a family, which shows that the emperor can be said to be a symbol of power in the past, and the quality of an emperor also directly affects the development of this dynasty, if an emperor is diligent in political affairs and strives to govern and make good use of people, then it will definitely lead the country to a strong and prosperous period, and this emperor will also become a more effective generation of Ming jun in history, but if an emperor is wasted all day long, he is addicted to wine and fish and meat. Then this dynasty is probably going to go to the road of destruction, and this emperor will also be called the Emperor of darkness.
Therefore, in ancient times, an emperor can directly affect a dynasty, and its power should not be said more, so staying by the emperor's side is like staying by the side of a tiger, and if you are not careful, it may lead to the disaster of killing, or even more cruel door-to-door slashing, as long as all the people in the family are capital crimes, no one can be spared. So what about officials in some other places who have been dismissed and exiled in the past, what should happen to the people in their families? Next, let's take a look at the officials who were raided in the past and how those in the family were dealt with.
First of all, the most common is to follow the exiled officials together, such a result is still relatively good, because they can at least follow the owner to the exiled place, but some officials are exiled to the place of exile is very remote and desolate, so it is also bitter to those people, after all, in the past the traffic was not developed, once exiled to some remote places, it may take months or even a year to arrive, the road is far away will inevitably suffer from wind and cold and other diseases. Moreover, in ancient times, most of the mountains had bandits and robbers and the like, and the exiled people passed through the bandits' territory in a big way, which naturally attracted the attention of the bandits, and at this time the bandits would go down the mountain to rob money and rob women, so there were not many people left in the exiled place.
The second is to be beheaded with officials, these people have not committed any mistakes, only because the head of their family has committed a crime and they are also implicated, it is said that some families are huge, the number of people beheaded will be as high as hundreds, they will be killed in the place will be stained red with blood, and many executioners need to prepare a few butcher knives to do it, of course, it does not mean that as long as the official makes a mistake, he will be slashed all over the door, generally speaking, only those who intend to rebel or have wrong intentions will be punished in this way.
The last is to act as official slaves, in ancient times the population is not very large, so in order to avoid massacres, many servants will be used as official slaves to do things for the government, so that they can save a life, especially for female dependents may be the best way, but if they are sent to the Qinglou, then it is also their misfortune, because then they will not see people in the future.
Xiaobian feels that in the past, this kind of thing that one person made a mistake and even the nine ethnic groups was too unconventional, after all, there is a saying that has been circulating since ancient times, that is, "a good man does things one person and one person is responsible", so it is too inhumane to be implicated in the whole family because of one person's fault.
