Eight thousand cuts in Ling Chi eight times? You are too cruel!
Although Fan Wencheng was thinking of dying, he did not expect that his death would be so ugly, so he immediately cried out to Tian Qu.
"It's unjust. Fan Wencheng is unjust. Fan has never been an official in the Ming Dynasty. How can he be charged with treason and betrayal of his master?"
Zhu Chunjie snorted: "You have only betrayed the country, but you have not betrayed the master! As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you have taken refuge with the Donglu rebels, and you have also sincerely helped the enemy. You are the sworn enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied!"
evidence?
"Where is the evidence?" Of course Fan Wencheng refused to admit it. This was not the crime of decapitation, but Ling Chi's eight thousand swords!
Ji Kun's face was as solid as iron, and he said in a deep voice: "Here, bring up the evidence!"
Immediately, two Dali Temple soldiers carried a carved wooden box to the lobby. The box was placed next to Fan Wencheng. The lid was opened, and it was full of thread-bound books. There are words on the thread-bound book, "Hui Yue's Notes" written on it.
Fan Wencheng knew it was bad when he saw it. This was his diary! His glorious deeds are all listed above! How come this fatal thing fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty?
By the way, it's Kong Sizhen...she was the only one who could do this! Fan Wencheng felt aggrieved because he didn't want to marry Kong Sizhen, the untouchable princess. It was Duduo's bad idea! Why does Kong Sizhen hate herself? To still hate her like this is the most poisonous woman’s heart!
When Fan Wencheng was feeling aggrieved, someone had already shown Ji Kun several "Huiyue Notes" that had been specially selected and placed on top.
Of course Ji Kun has read these diaries, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sentence Fan Wencheng to death with eight thousand knives! Since Zhu Cihong came to power, no one has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment!
Ji Kun pretended to read the first book and said in a deep voice: "These are the notes you and your brother Fan Wencai took after you took the initiative to ask to see Nurhaci and were hired. Every line is full of joy, and you also promised to make suggestions for Donglu. , to help them destroy our Ming Dynasty. At that time, you were a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, but you took the initiative to surrender to the captives, and you also wanted to help the captives. Moreover, you had been a citizen of the Ming Dynasty for 21 years, and you had been selected as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty in the forty-three years. You must have registered your household registration... How can you deny this crime of treason?"
According to the "Chongzhen Law", the criminal subject of treason must have a household registration in the Ming Dynasty, and must still be an official citizen of the Ming Dynasty when he reaches 15 years old.
Fan Wencheng was 21 years old when he joined Nurhachi, and when he was 18 years old, he was selected as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty - he could not take the imperial examination without household registration. Therefore, Fan Wencheng is qualified to commit treason!
But his wife Kong Sizhen did not have this qualification. Kong Sizhen was born on the land controlled by Hou Jin, and of course it was impossible to be registered as a Ming Dynasty household register. However, if she were a descendant of Kong Youde, she would still be implicated according to law. The "Chongzhen Code" revised by Zhu Cixiang still retained the "involvement" system, but the scope of involvement was narrowed, and there was no extermination of the Nine Tribes and the Three Yi Tribes. The punishment for annihilating the nine bad people seems to a large number of people's hearts, but it is actually an indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Killing the clan is a torture method used to combat powerful clans. It was necessary in the era when the noble clans dominated the world.
However, the Ming Dynasty was no longer a society controlled by gentry. Except for some southern provinces where clan power was still very strong, in most places, clan relations were relatively loose and did not pose a threat to the court, so there was no need to carry out severe crackdowns.
But close relatives who can gain huge benefits from criminals’ criminal acts will still be implicated! However, if the implicated person has not committed a major crime, he will not be sentenced to death. At most, he will be exiled to the island or the Western Region.
Ji Kun continued: "The crime of treason also has its severity. After your treason, you not only helped the captives and became enemies of the Celestial Empire, but also contributed a lot... In these notes, the words are clearly written in black and white. It’s clear. And you were awarded the title of king because of your meritorious service in aiding the prisoners, so what else can you deny? Your treason is a heinous crime and you should be punished!"
Treason, aiding the captors (enemies), and courting the enemy are a three-piece package. If there is only treason, but no aiding the captors (enemies), and no enemy of the Ming Dynasty, then it is not true treason, and the crime is not serious. If one aids the captives but is not an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, then the crime of aiding the captives is not serious - for example, Wu Sangui helped the Qing Dynasty fight against rogues and killed tens of thousands of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. This crime is of course very serious. But we can’t pursue it tomorrow! The Ming Dynasty cannot seek justice for the bandits...
Another example is that Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun were clearly doing a disservice to the Qing Dynasty. They copied several large boxes of blacklists and turned all the scholars in the southeast into the mortal enemies of the Qing Dynasty. There is no way to pursue this crime! It is a crime to help capture (the enemy), but not to entrap (the enemy)!
"This note also contains the ironclad evidence that you suggested that Dorgon betray the alliance!" Ji Kun flipped through another note, "The King of Dai, the Duke of Liang and others borrowed the Donglu troops to help suppress them. Once the rogue bandits are defeated, the Donglu will be defeated." Returned to the outside of the pass, but you suggested that Dorgon take the opportunity to seize the Central Plains, causing devastation and continuous wars, and countless people died as a result, which is really a heinous crime!"
In this time and space, Wang Yongji and Wu Sangui borrowed Zhu Cijiong's name to borrow troops from Dorgon, and Zhu Cijiong himself took the blame when he became an adult, thinking it was his own contribution.
Zhu Cixiang's own ass was not clean either. He never thought of going to Shanhaiguan to defend Li Zicheng's destiny from the beginning. His intention was to pull Wu Sangui's army away so that he could go to Jiangnan to collect debts from the scholar-bureaucrats. At the same time, both Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty suffered losses...
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty cannot now pursue the crime of "borrowing teachers", but it can pursue the Qing Dynasty for the crime of betraying the alliance. In the words of later generations, this was a "war crime."
Ji Kun added: "Here are also records of your participation in the formulation of land enclosures, house occupations, surrender, and escape laws! There are also records of your participation in the massacre of innocent people... How can you deny it if it is written in black and white? Each of these crimes is worthy of Ling Chi!"
These are "crimes against humanity"!
Ji Kun gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Also, you followed Dorgon to rob tombs in Qufu! You dug up the tombs of Yanshenggong of all dynasties, and you also robbed Confucius... Shouldn't you go to the eighth grade in Ling Chi? Come back?"
"Wait a minute," Fan Wencheng quickly defended, "This matter is not in the "Huiyue Notes"!"
This thing was so ugly that Fan Wencheng was embarrassed to write it in his diary...
Ji Kun snorted coldly: "You still want to deny it? Everyone in the world knows about Dorgon's robbery of Confucius. As a bachelor of Donglu and Dorgon's confidant, how could you not be involved?"
"Indeed not! This was all done by Dorgon!" Fan Wencheng refused to admit it. This was two major crimes of tomb robbing and sacrilege, equivalent to two thousand knives! How could you admit it?
Ji Kun sneered: "In other words, you have confessed to the six major crimes of treason, aiding the captors, attacking the enemy, betraying the alliance, plundering, and massacre?"
Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth: "The excavation of Confucius has nothing to do with me. Other matters, apart from taking refuge in the Qing Dynasty, are all for their own masters!"
Ji Kun waved his hand and said, "Let him sign the confession!"
The two crimes of tomb robbery and sacrilege were originally added to the crime... In fact, Kong Lin was not dug up at all! It was Zhu Cihong who was smearing Dorgon, and the "Zi Lun Ge Wu Chapter" was also written by Xibei, so this matter cannot be investigated in depth.
Although there were two missing Lingchi, Fan Wencheng could not help but shed tears when he saw the confession written in black and white. Six thousand dollars! How should this be cut?
What a bitter life!
...
When Fan Wencheng was sentenced to "six thousand knives", Bu Mu Butai was looking at the towering city walls of Xuzhou and sighing.
Of course she knows that Fulin's new Amma is different from Dorgon and Huang Taiji! This new Ama is a "strict father" and might kill both Fulin and herself... She has fully experienced Emperor Zhu's cruelty during her journey to Xuzhou.
Behind the carriage she was riding in were dozens of prison cars and tens of thousands of prisoners on foot. Those sitting in the prison van were all "big traitors" waiting to be slaughtered, while those on foot were "little traitors" waiting to be exiled to a desert island... Although he was still enjoying the treatment of a VIP, when he waited If Fulin rebels in Beijing next year, he will probably be like those in the prison car!
