Chapter 2274 1.163 Gold as ransom

I can't wait for the beginning of the month to watch the morning.

A few days later, the three departments had finished their review. They came to the court and the emperor then held a special court discussion.

Just as Hou Fuwan expected.

The three generals of Cao Mengde and the Huai and Si countries planned to rebel. They analyzed the "second year of Xiping" and the first year of Chuping" to analyze the front and back.

The emperor asked about the government and the ministers.

All officials said that in the second year of Xiping, Emperor Ling issued an edict to pardon the favor without a case. The previous crimes had been pardoned, and the past should be forgiven. From the sixth year of Xiping, the old things were carried out by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After living in the troubled times, things were changed, and the "main evil" Liu Chong was executed, and all the kings of Huai and Si were exempted.

However, in the first year of Chuping, the court moved eastward to Zhendu. Wang Taishi practiced the power of foxes and tigers, and it was easy to seize the country before and after. Every stroke could be followed.

However, it was unexpected that the emperor and the emperor were both important officials.

"Changhuai Jockey Club?" Dong Hou asked in a panic.

"That's right." Xun Yu, the chief censor, reported: "The kings of Huai and Si, especially King Chen, like horse racing. They once followed the seven kings of Youji and set up another horse club with the central government. Because the seven kings of Xu and Yu were promoted in the Huai River, they were called the "Changhuai Horse Club."

"So that's it." If you involve King Ji, the emperor would be cautious: "What does Changhuai Horse Association have to do with the Seven Kingdoms Jockey Club?"

"The Jockey Club of the Seven Kingdoms once promoted the Huai Horse Club, built horse farms, trained horse racing, and practiced knights. He also praised the "Fourteen Kingdoms Horse Racing". In order to facilitate people and things, the Fourteen Kingdoms opened Hong Kong and traded with each other, and built club halls with each other." Xun Yu answered truthfully.

"Could it be..." Dong Hou asked carefully: "The Huai and Si countries all come from the 'Changhuai Horse Club'."

"That's right." Xun Yu held the song.

In other words, since the establishment of the "Changhuai Horse Club", the Huai and Si countries did not take the name of the country. They were all called Changhuai Horse Club. Whenever they wrote and written, they did not use the national seal. They only used the horse club seal. A good plan was that Chen Cang secretly went to the ground and resurrected the soul by borrowing the corpse.

This matter is "very wide-ranging". In particular, it vaguely touched King Ji. All officials in the palace were so obsessed with the matter. If we investigate this matter further, it is not just "pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud", but it is clearly "a small shrimp lead out the big whale". The Ji king has a high throne and upright position, and he is extremely powerful. He has always been polite and concise in dealing with people and has never been surrounded by the Huai and Si countries. Most of them were favored by King Chen, who deliberately implicated King Ji by taking advantage of the horse club. He dragged King Ji into the water to protect himself.

No wonder the three departments held a trial and concluded it hastily.

Could it be that I dared to do it in the end?

Although Dong Hou was young, he knew the pros and cons and the pros and cons, and weighed the pros and cons. He gave up this matter.

"Since it is the Changhuai Horse Club, you should only take the land of Jianghuai." The emperor said one thing.

"Your Majesty, see clearly." All the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that "the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped." The king acted rather than the prime minister and the prime minister failed to correct it. It was also the crime of A-Pang. So Cao's disciples enthusiastically made suggestions. The prime ministers of the seven kingdoms of Huai and Si should be "dismissed from officials and reduced titles and were not allowed to serve in officials."

Cao Taibao finally made a statement: "The King of Chen favors everyone to plot against rebellion, 'Everyone in the world, I will be silent.' "If you don't reward merits, you will be disappointed when you do good; if you don't ask me about it, you will be frustrated when you do evil (if you don't get rewards, you will be disappointed when you do good; if you don't get rewards, you will be more and more arrogant when you do evil).' Therefore, it is said: 'If you don't believe in rewards, you will not be in compliance with the ban. The court is in Zhen, and people will be welcome to gather for the first time. Your Majesty must not ignore it."

After all, everyone's eyes are obvious. If "thunder is loud and raindrops are small", and the crime of treason is also done hastily. It will be lighter by the world. Especially the three parts of the world, and all heroes will arise together. The rewards and punishments are unclear, how to convince the people. If you cannot convince the people, the world will be in chaos.

Cao Taibao's words were deafening and loud, and every word was at the critical point. There was no refutation.

Dong Hou nodded happily: "Taibao, what he said is very true."

Then the Duke discussed his crime. Cao Dang, the word "Cao Dang" was spoken by everyone. Everyone said that he should govern the prime minister of all countries. The crime of A Dang was to be exempted from official positions and not be allowed to serve in officials.

"What do the Grand Master think?" Dong Hou asked this.

"Old minister, follow up." Grand Master Wang bowed with a solemn look on his face.

Hearing this, Cao's party in the hall was ecstatic. Grandmaster Wang finally abandoned the car and protected the general. He had to cut off his flesh and stop the loss.

"What do you think?" Dong Hou asked again.

"I will discuss it with you." All the officials spoke in unison.

"In this way, the party was convicted. The prime minister of the seven countries was exempted from official positions and no official titles were allowed to be appointed." Dong Hou was about to be convicted.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard the Hou Fuwan and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the four prime ministers of Xuzhou, want to 'golden as a punishment'."

As soon as these words were spoken, all officials were in an uproar.

The so-called "redemption" means atonement for sins with money and property. This punishment began in ancient times. "Shangshu Shun Dian": "Min is a redemption for sins." The memorial says: "In ancient times, those who atone for sins all used copper, and the Han Dynasty changed to gold."

There were redemption punishments in all dynasties, but they were not the same. Generally speaking, among the five punishments, from the death penalty, to the lower ones, to the stick and flogging, they all can be redeemed. The amount of ransoms is clearly stipulated. In ancient times, copper was used for the atonement of sins, gold was used for the previous Han Dynasty, and silk was used for the current Han Dynasty, and after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, silk was used for the most part. In the Sui Dynasty, copper was changed. In the Tang and Song Dynasties were used for the Sui Dynasty, and copper coins were used for the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It is true that money is available in all dynasties.

In "Report to Ren'an", Sima Qian said: "If the family is poor, the goods are not enough to redeem themselves." He was castrated. It can be seen that the redemption punishment is mostly noble and high-ranking officials, and the sons of powerful families.

Thinking deeply again, Shigong Tai, if someone helps him and fines him enough, he can compensate for the crime. Therefore, Shigong Taigong also lamented in the "Letter to Ren'an": "Don't save friends, and you will not say anything about getting close to each other."

Get back to the point.

By the way, in history, the three heroes in the north were defeated and returned. They each punished bronze and demoted them to common people.

Just imagine, if you lose your troops and lose your generals, you can still avoid death. All the ministers are exempted from being a crime of Ah Party. In fact, it is nothing more than just corrections and has not supervised the Changhuai Horse Association. How can you not punish copper for the crime?

Unexpectedly, the dignified prince teacher was so full of fat intestines that he ate and waited for death. He was incompetent. He did this and made a despicable move.

Cao Taibao laughed furiously: "I don't know how much copper I want to punish you?"

"Taibao, Shaoan. Just look at it and you will know."

However, the Hou Fuwan was prepared for it. So the Huangmen Order Zuo Feng personally brought the plate into the room.

"What's in the box?" Dong Hou asked.

The yellow gate commander Zuo Feng opened it himself: "Please check it out."

Wait for the painted wooden box to open when the hall is opened.

A momentary divine light was created.

Dong Hou blurted out: "But the 'night day and day star', 'suihouzhu' is it."

“That’s right.”

Suihouzhu is the treasure of Suiguo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is also called "Suizhu", and is called "Spring and Autumn Two Treasures" together with "Heshi Bi". "Suizhu Hebi" or "Easy-going".

"Soushen Ji" says: "The diameter is full of inches, pure white and luminous, and you can have a candle room." "Huainanzi" also says: "Suihou's pearls and Bian He's jade. Those who get it are rich, and those who lose it are poor."

By the Han Dynasty, it was called "hanging beads", "hung thorns", "bright moon beads", etc.

"Selecting the Literary Records·Volume 6": "(Guo Kuang) mixed treasures to decorate the terraces, and the county (hanging) pearls hanging from the four sides. They looked like stars in the daytime, and looked like moon at night. The words in the inner world said: "Luoyang has a lot of money in Guo's house, and the stars are extremely rich at night.'"

It is what later generations say, the Night Pearl.
