184 Southern tour of Khotan
After the last batch of three thousand slaves entered the city, it started the caravan camp outside the city and then removed.
The Kushan King's envoy brought back the horseshoe golden cakes equivalent to 120,000 Kushan gold coins, bid farewell to Liu Bei and led the caravan back to his country. The Wusun envoy who had been dormant in the Western Embassy for a whole winter hurried to the door again. He said that more than 100,000 Wusun slaves were also on the road and could reach them without full term.
Liu Bei nodded happily.
The million gold coins of various countries that were plundered from Shule usurping the throne and harvesting the national treasury, as well as many rare treasures, have been moved into its dry treasure. The reason why Liu Bei dared to spend money like flowing water was because the Shule treasury supported him.
Hearing that the Huangmen Order was traveling west, he only brought the edict to promote the Western Regions Protector. Liu Bei understood it and ordered people to prepare a gift to His Majesty so that the Huangmen Order could be brought back together.
Your Majesty is well versed in the way of merchants. The Huangmen Order Zuo Feng, who had a strong order with Liu Bei, came to announce the imperial edict. He threw stones and asked for directions and waited for a price. Apart from the Western Regions who were appointed as an official, the promised title only heard the sound of his voice, but he did not see the following.
Your Majesty, you won’t show off the rabbit and the eagle...
As mentioned earlier, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all linked to the level. As the highest 21st rank, the benefits are naturally many. The fiefdom is wider, the ritual system is higher, and the power is greater. Even the number of people in the harem has also increased by leaps and bounds, with significant increases.
The main names of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty and the harems in historical records are: princess, little wives, little wives, etc.
The princes and queens, called: Princess.
"The number of concubines in the Later Han Dynasty is infinitely different, so the system is set up to be a concubine, and the young lady must not exceed forty people." According to the law, the number of concubines in the princes and kings shall not exceed forty people.
According to historical records, King Liu Chang of Liang Jie had "thirty-seven young wives", which was in line with the prescribed number.
"Book of Han: Biography of the Thirteen Kings of Jing" records that Liu Bei's ancestor and Liu Sheng, the king of Jing of Zhongshan, "has a happy wine for people, and has more than 120 sons."
With all the plans, all the forty little wives were spread out. One person had only three sons.
In addition, the princes and kings also had many "magistrate maids".
"Yu Maid" is a slave with a slightly higher status than an ordinary slave and a slightly lower status than a concubine. Although he is a maid in name, he has a special status.
On the one hand, the maids always serve the princes and kings, and are absolutely confidant. On the other hand, the maids often have the "husband and wife reality" with the princes and kings, which can easily affect or even influence the "king's decision". Once they have children, they can be promoted to the young wife at their discretion. When the princes and kings die, they can also be removed from their status as slaves and become free people.
If the wife dared not think about it, what the four sisters of An expected most was the identity of the maid.
The maid goes up further, and the little wife, the little wife, is like the wife.
There is hope.
In the fifth year of Guanghe, "Spring, the first month, and Xinwu, pardon the world."
By the way, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the world has been pardoned almost every year in the first month.
The system of amnesty (yòu) existed in ancient times.
The Qin Dynasty prospered in the Han Dynasty. It not only inherited the national system of "comprehension of the world", but also learned from the blood and tears of Qin's "urgent law to not forgive" of the fall of the country in the second lifetime. Under the guidance of the idea of "virtue is the main force and punishment, and inaction is the auxiliary force", a relatively complete amnesty system was gradually formed.
Including: general amnesty, special amnesty, memorial amnesty, redemption reduction, pardon, etc.
As an effective means to ease class conflicts, develop production, and consolidate national defense, at the end of the Han Dynasty, a political practice of extra amnesty and abuse was gradually formed. The number of amnesty in the Han Dynasty alone was as many as 140 times. On average, one amnesty was found in three years. Therefore, amnesty was "received as a common law."
All the emperors issued amnesty in the shangzi, Yuanfu, founded the queen, established the crown prince, changed the throne, suburban sacrifice, feudal ancestral temple, Linyong, established temples, patrol hunting, moved to palaces, established capital, won victory, prosperous years, auspiciousness, disasters, encouraged farmers, drank, and encountered chaos, etc.
Moreover, the scope of general amnesty is also very wide. In addition to "great rebellion", slander, slander, confusing the public, damning the superiors, and ignoring the superiors, and ignoring the superiors, and "unworthy pardons". Almost all criminals "have no serious sins, and they will be forgiven." Even if they are serious crimes of murder, they can be avoided. The harsh woman Pang E is an example.
Unless the emperor hates someone deeply, he issues an edict to "not be pardoned if he is pardoned."
As mentioned earlier, Cai Yong was framed by eunuchs and wrote a letter to himself, which annoyed Your Majesty because of his fierce words. Your Majesty then clearly mentioned in his edict of crime: "No redemption shall be made with a pardon."
It is conceivable how deeply His Majesty hates the party members "only the party members will not forgive".
Therefore, the storyteller said: The amnesty of the Han Dynasty also nurtured the style of the Han Dynasty.
Killing is just a matter of placing the ground. What's more, there is a general amnesty. This year, the murder is imprisoned and will be pardoned next year. What's the fear?
What kind of people can be forgiven. What kind of people can be "unsanctioned". Two words summarize: morality.
Inheriting righteousness means that you can get pardon when you pass through the downtown market. If you are unrighteous, you will "not be pardoned when you are pardoned."
He has great righteousness in his heart. Therefore, he cannot help but bow and crossbow, and the Han Dynasty has stood for four hundred years. The law is limited and the chivalrous will be at the forefront. When he sees injustice on the road, he will always have the courage to help him.
The country has no morals. Scattering soldiers and washing armor, all kinds of taboos are difficult to survive for a long time.
Get back to the point.
When he learned that more than 100,000 Wusun slaves were sent to him soon. In order to relieve the financial pressure of the Changshi Mansion, Liu Bei ordered the craftsmen to rush to the northern slope of Kunlun Mountain to search for the beautiful jade veins of Yutian.
"The king ruled the Xicheng in the Kingdom of Khotan and went to Chang'an for 9,670 miles. The marquis of the Fuguo, the left and right generals, the left and right cavalry kings, and the east and west cities, and the interpreter chiefs. They reached the northeast to the Duguan Prefecture (Wulai) 3,947 miles, connected to the south to the Qiang, and the north to Gumo. The west to the west of Khotan, all the water flowed westward and flowed westward and flowed westward. The water flowed eastward and flowed into the Yanze (Puchanghai), and the Heyuan originated. There were many jades. The west to Pishan 380 miles."
The beautiful jade of Khotan is famous. According to legend, as early as ancient times, the palaces of the King of Shang had many tools for processing beautiful jade. The princes and nobles of the Chu State even used jade as a symbol of their status. During the Han Dynasty, gentlemen wore jade, which became a fashion. They loved the beautiful jade of Khotan, and all the kings and princes sent craftsmen to Kunlun to pick jade. They followed the jade jewels at the foot of Kunlun Mountain to the Central Plains, and Khotan became an important town on the south side of the Silk Road.
The beautiful jade of Khotan is well-known.
It was through the huge profits brought by mining jade that King Khotan had strong funds and was able to mint coins on his own.
At present, jade mining was mined, and various forces gathered together, with uneven scales. In addition, after the Changshi Mansion was removed, he neglected management. Even private procurement and stolen mining were rampant. Now that the Silk Road was opened again, the Western Regions had been settled. Liu Bei wanted to take the beautiful jade of Khotan into his pocket.
Become another famous property of the Chief Secretary’s Office.
A few years ago, he secretly sent embroidered officials to disguise themselves into the city. Now it has been secretly found that the largest jade merchant in the city, whose surname was Qin, was named Qin. At that time, everyone was called "Qin Zhu Gong" and had a huge wealth.
Liu Bei once asked King Kumi Dingxing and King Khotan Anguo about the whereabouts of Qin Mu, the former chief clerk of King Kumi who had killed the King Khotan in front of him. Both kings shook their heads and did not know.
Liu Bei has always been worried about this matter.
When he learned that the great merchant who stole the beautiful jade of Khotan, he was immediately alert.
However, in order to resettle more than 100,000 Kushan slaves, he was unable to make any effort. Before the Wusun slaves arrived, he led troops to tour the south.
King Yuchi of Khotan, the chief minister, went there personally, led all civil and military officials, and went out of the city to greet each other ten miles away.
"Greetings to the Chief." King Khotan saluted on the roadside.
"Greetings to the king." Liu Bei dismounted and returned the gift.
"When I heard that the chief minister came in person, everyone in the customs country was looking forward to it." King Khotan said with a smile.
"The king is busy with all his affairs every day, but he is very grateful for his superiors' journey out of the city for ten miles." Liu Bei also smiled.
"Sir, please follow me into the city."
"please."
