All Hail Cousin Brother

At that time, Zhou Linghuai was very disapproving of Mr. Xianyun's words.

Naturally, he didn't listen to these words in his heart.

But thinking about it now, Zhou Linghuai suddenly understood!

He is a fan of the authorities, and Mr. Xianyun is a bystander. There are obstacles in his heart, and this obstacle is obsession, this obsession is Bodhi, and this bodhi is Yu Youyao.

He took his heart as Bodhi, and he got rid of his obsession with greed, hatred and ignorance towards Yu Youyao.

There was a turbulent wave in Zhou Linghuai's heart, and there was a dark tide in the depths of his eyes, but his face was as flat as a mirror, calm and composed.

Seeing her cousin just looking at her without speaking, Yu Youyao was a little flustered: "Cousin?"

"Okay!" Zhou Linghuai leaned over, gently brushed a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear, and lightly touched the sycamore flower tassel pendant on her temple with her fingertips. good.

After all, a little immature.

As soon as the crazy and long-running thoughts in his heart were put away, Zhou Linghuai was paranoid and restrained, and moved closer. The clear breath almost fell on her ear, and his fingertips gently rubbed against her ears: "I'm waiting for you."

Waiting for you to grow up a little more——

Cousin's breath fell on his ears, and his breathing seemed to reveal a little warmth and tenderness.

Yu Youyao suddenly put her arms around her cousin's waist: "Everything in the past, such as death yesterday, and all kinds of things since then, such as being born today, this is the body of rebirth." Although my cousin's chest is not thick, it is very solid. , I couldn't stop the strong heartbeat in my heart, those words buried in my heart for a long time, suddenly I had the courage to speak: "Cousin, let him pass the past!"

She hugged her cousin impulsively, just to comfort him.

After finishing speaking, she quickly let go of her cousin.

However, Zhou Linghuai's hand hanging by her side raised it up, and suddenly grabbed her slender waist: "Okay, I will listen to my cousin."

The slender waist was in the hand, and it was released after only one grip.

"Cousin agreed, then let's pull the hook," Yu Youyao smiled and bent her lips, her tender little finger gently hooked her cousin's little finger, and shook it gently: "Pull and hang yourself, a hundred years Don't change," she finished speaking, she raised her cousin's thumb with the other hand, and covered her own thumb: "We've made a deal."

Such a naive move was just a joke to Zhou Linghuai.

But she knew that this was a very solemn agreement for Yu Youyao.

The little girl naively thought that if she checked and sealed, this agreement would be witnessed by the world, and she would never break it. Every time she thought it was an important promise, she had to make an agreement with him in this way, so that she felt at ease.

The next day, the verdict for persecuting King Zhou Li and others came down.

Among the ten clans of Chang Xinghou, who committed crimes, anyone who has reached the age of seven will be sentenced to beheading.

Within the three clans of the two cabinet ministers, anyone who has reached the age of seven will be sentenced to beheading, as an example to others, and future generations will never be allowed to enter the court as officials, and all generations will be common people.

A group of officials and gentry in the northern border confiscated their family property and were sentenced to beheading. All boys who were twelve years old were sentenced to exile, and all female relatives who were twelve years old were sent to the teacher to comfort the army.

The rest of the implicated people were exiled in Shangyangbao, and were not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.

Once punished, after the funeral of King Zhou Li and his obedience——

Execution!

None of the courtiers dared to say a word.

The case of King You offended Tianwei and lost the royal dignity. Marquis Changxing is certainly abominable, so why not the emperor's move?

Want to take this opportunity to frighten the vassals and rebels?

After the verdict, there was another uproar in Jingli.

What kind of torture is killing ten clans?

Throughout the history, there are only a handful of them. The most famous one is that the ancestor Chengzu usurped the throne in the previous dynasty and asked a highly prestigious veteran at that time to draft an enthronement edict.

This old minister is also a tough guy, he would rather die than obey.

Chengzu threatened to kill his nine clans. He wrote in the imperial edict: "The usurper is a dog thief, and virtue is not worthy!"

In a fit of rage, Chengzu punished his nine clans and brought his relatives and friends back to his ten clans.

More than 800 people fell to the ground.

Thousands of people were imprisoned and exiled for this reason.

The emperor is still kind, at least let the children under the age of seven go, but these children lost their parents and relatives, what will happen to the future, isn't it another kind of cruelty?

Throughout the dynasties, those who colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, conspired against the rebels, persecuted the royal family, and those who caused witchcraft and chaos were all regarded as offending the imperial power, and their crimes should be punished by the nine clans.

How this crime should be punished depends on those in power.

There is nothing wrong with the emperor's move.

Yu Youyao couldn't hold back her courage: "Marquis Changxing offended the imperial power, and he deserved what he did. However, among his ten clans, there are more than 600 people, how many people deserved it? And how many innocent people were punished? implicated?"

She didn't even dare to think about the scene of blood flowing like a river.

He didn't even dare to think about how the corpses would be strewn all over the field when he was exiled to Shangyang Castle in the severe cold and freezing winter.

How many people are lucky enough to make it to Shangyang Fort?

After arriving at Shangyang Castle, how many of them can survive the hard work ahead?

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips lightly: "You think..."

He just started talking, when Yu Youyao approached him suddenly, and covered his lips lightly with his hand: "I sympathize with those innocent people who have been implicated, but I also know that no matter how innocent those people are, it has nothing to do with my cousin, my cousin Brother just did what he was supposed to do, whether he lived or died, it was nothing more than imperial authority and the emperor's intentions, I will not blame all of this on my cousin."

Back then, King Zhou Li, who made great military exploits, was not innocent?

The princess and princess who committed suicide by taking poison are not innocent?

Isn't the cousin innocent who fell into a disability?

Are the ups and downs of Prince You's mansion, including those two thousand elite soldiers, innocent?

And those people in Youzhou who were implicated in the Youwang case, aren't they innocent?

But who let them go because they were innocent?

Now it's just that the world is going down, Feng Shui takes turns, and I have paid my due price for the sins I committed in the past, which is too tragic.

But the cause and effect in the world is nothing more than that!

No matter who is to blame, it cannot be blamed on my cousin.

Hearing this, Zhou Linghuai was not surprised, he looked into the little girl's clear eyes and said, "Young girl, this world will soon come to an end."

Yu Youyao's heart trembled slightly, and she didn't know whether it was joy or sadness.

Such a topic is too heavy, and it is not something she can bear now, so Yu Youyao evasively changed the topic: "I plan to open a charity hall in Beijing to take in those orphans without parents, women and children who have no one to rely on, teach They read and write, as well as some means of earning a living, and I don’t let them eat and live for free, I have many shops, restaurants and Zhuangzi in Beijing, I can arrange them to work in the past, replace food with labor, and exchange work for money.”

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

There were nine clans in the ancients, and friends were counted as the tenth clan. It is not uncommon to exterminate the nine clans. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru's ten clans. This is the only one in history that has clear records.
