For example, in the Three Kingdoms, when Shu Han perished, Liu Chan, the late ruler, surrendered. Liu Chan's son, Liu Chen, the king of the North, was determined not to surrender. When he felt that the tide was running out and he was unable to stop the fate of national subjugation, on the day when Liu Chan issued an imperial decree to surrender, he led his family to Zhaolie Temple to pay homage to Liu Bei, the first to kill his wife and children, and then to commit suicide.
Another example is Zhang, the "Western Emperor", who not only killed innocent people, but also showed no mercy to his children. When he was about to lose his land in Sichuan and give up Chengdu, he held a "family meeting". At this "family meeting", he "killed all his wives and even culled a young son". Even my babbling little son was not spared.
Among the "courageous" kings, some pay great attention to the "differential treatment" of their children. For example, Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed women instead of children. Because of "male sex", Prince Xuan Ci, the third son Wang Cijiong and the fourth son Wang Yong Cihuan were arranged by Zhu Youjian to escape from the palace. Because of "female sex", his wife and daughter were hacked to death by Zhu Youjian.
Why did the dead king "dare" when he died? The answer they gave was—
After killing the whole family, Zhang said to his adopted son, the first fierce opponent, "I am also a hero." I can't let my little son get caught. You will be the son of the world. " I can't leave my flesh and blood to be captured by the enemy, so you can be my heir forever.
Before Zhu Youjian hacked to death 15-year-old princess royal, he said a famous saying with tears: "Why did you give birth to my family?" ? I asked my daughter why she was born in the royal family.
The reasons for the death of these monarchs are superficial and far-fetched. So, what is the underlying reason? What kind of mentality are they?
? In my summary, Wu Jun is "angry". First, it comes from the mentality of "martyrdom", which is the mentality of slave owners and is very possessive. He thinks that his wife, children and slaves are his own property, and he should follow him as soon as he comes.
The second reason is out of fear. This reason should be relatively large.
Why is it a "horrible" thing to leave a child behind?
Because the descendants of these dead kings face "inhuman" punishments such as car splitting, year-end, waist cutting and strangulation.
Penalties in feudal societies in China were cruel. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, which was praised as "the peak of Chinese civilization" by later generations, the punishment definitely made you tremble with fear. In Water Margin, Wang Po, who planned Ximen Qing's adultery with Pan Jinlian and murdered Wu Da, did not die by Song Wu's sword, but was executed by Jingyang County government after the incident. It can be seen that the "civilized Northern Song Dynasty" still follows the harsh laws of previous dynasties, both in years and waist. ?
? I have been to the "Dongyue Temple" in Beijing, where there are seventy-six halls of hell and all kinds of torture. I also "visited" the official cell in Hongdong County where Su San is said to be being held. There will tell you why the "prison cell" is also called "cage"-because the prison is less than one meter high from the ground to the roof, and people will never stand there. Being locked there is worse than death.
Once you go to those places, you will not only understand why people in ancient China were so obedient, but also find out why the king of national subjugation was "timid"-once he was reduced from "king" to "coach", he would be as full of fear as ever.
The punishment of "inhumanity" is as long as the feudal society in China. The rulers of China were called Confucianism, but they were followers of Legalism. Therefore, they generally believe that severe punishment is beneficial to rule. Zeng Guofan, the "Great Sage" in the late Qing Dynasty, suggested that "kingly way" should be used in prosperous times and "overbearing" in troubled times, and they should be used for each other in peacetime. To put it bluntly, his "hegemonism" is legalism-ruling the world with heavy codes.
The cruel punishment frightened not only the people, but also the emperor. Especially in the case of "the winner is king and the loser is the enemy", they are worried about "heart for heart, tooth for tooth", so "domestic chicken" has become "the last resort to avoid fear"
The brutal wolf style not only makes every winner become a "cannibal", but also makes every loser become a "cannibal" in the next cycle. Zhang's killing of his own flesh and blood instead of his adopted son and Chongzhen's killing of women also contain a kind of revenge entanglement: killing women is not to make them suffer a living crime, but leaving children is to hope to avenge themselves one day. Punish the enemy in the same cruel way.
Deal with a man as he deals with you. In the horrible world created by your husband, can your opponent think of other more merciful ways to deal with you? You know, they are as afraid of you as the devil, afraid that you will put a butcher knife around their necks again. They will even tremble when they hear your name, and even be superstitious about your resurrection. In order to survive and release their fears, they must be crazier and more determined than you ... you can't get what you can't get from them.
