Chapter 470: Nanshi Public Trial (7)
"Can't, you can't kill me!"
As soon as the red-headed arrow came out, the nephew standing behind Chai Guosheng raised the big knife in his hand.
Seeing that the ghost-headed big knife was about to fall, Chai Guosheng shouted: "Although I am not the main family of the Chai family, I am also a descendant of King Chai. My lady is now coming from Cangzhou, with my master's iron coupons. Fang Tingshuo, if you dare to behead me now, it will be against the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Tingshuo, who had just recovered a little, suddenly turned into a nest again, and whispered to Liang Xing with his head sideways: "Liang Duzhi, how should this be good, how should this be good!" If he really has the iron coupons of the Chai family in Cangzhou, Hebei, if I carry out the orders of the Taifu, I will commit the capital crime of offending the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
"Iron coupon" is an iron product in the shape of a cylinder tile, which is a token and certificate given to courtiers by the emperor when he divided the titles of meritorious heroes in ancient China.
The letter on the "Iron Coupon" was originally filled with Dansha, which is collectively called "Danshu Iron Deed"; Liang Shi used silver characters to fill the word called "silver coupon".
In the Sui Dynasty, there were "golden coupons" and "golden books" with gold crosswords, so later generations called "iron coupons" as "golden book iron coupons", and because "iron coupons" can be passed down from generation to generation, they are also called "iron coupons" as "world coupons".
The "Danshu Iron Coupon" system began in the Han Dynasty, and the most important time was after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, seized power, in order to consolidate the rule and attract meritorious heroes, he awarded the "Danshu Iron Coupon" to the Yuan Commander as a reward.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he issued a holy decree: "Order Xiao He Ci Decree, Han Xin Shen Military Law, Zhang Cangding Statute, Uncle Sun Tong Silk Etiquette; and swore an oath to the heroes. Danshu, Iron Deed, Jinkui, Stone Chamber. Hidden in the Jongmyo Temple".
The "symbol" is commonly referred to as the "contract". That is, the certificate of trust between the emperor and the meritorious and important ministers.
"Danshu, Iron Deed, Jinkui, Stone Room", that is, with iron as the deed, with Danshu, with gold as the kudo, with stone as the room, the emperor's oath with meritorious heroes and important ministers is written on the "iron coupon" with dansha, and put it into the gold and hidden in the temple built with stone, in order to show solemnity and ensure the safety of the "iron coupon".
Then. The "iron coupon" also has no promises such as immunity from crime and death, and is only used as a certificate to increase the official and enter the knighthood and seal the marquis. At that time, because the coupons were written on the iron deed with dansha, it was called "iron coupons", also known as "Danshu iron coupons" or "Danshu iron deeds". After the Tang Dynasty, gold was mainly used to fill the characters, and other types of "iron coupons" rarely appeared.
From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the "iron coupons" issued by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the royal family and close ministers were used as a protective guard.
In the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, it was more common to issue "iron coupons". After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the issuance of "iron coupons" has become a regular system, and all founding fathers, Zhongxing heroes and leaders of ethnic minorities are given "iron coupons", and "iron coupons" are also issued to favored eunuchs and eunuchs.
What's on the coupon? In fact, there are mainly four aspects of coupons.
One. Indicate the date of the award, the name of the recipient, the official title, the title of the recipient, and the location of the fief. Second. It is written on it that the meritorious deeds of the person who was given the "iron coupon" to the imperial court are actually for the world to see that it is not blindly given, but the merits of others.
Third, the privileges granted by the emperor to the recipients, such as exemption from death. This, in fact, is the key to the Iron Coupon Bull 13. The emperor gives privileges, and this "iron coupon" will be passed on to future generations, which is self-evident.
The last few things marked on the iron coupon are actually very important. What is it? It is the emperor's oath and the privilege of those who receive iron coupons. For example, what is the territory of the territory, such as what generations do not bear, or what kind of preferential treatment is given to the descendants of others.
Since there is such a thing as "iron coupons", according to the relevant laws of the previous dynasties, the heroes, important ministers and their descendants who hold iron coupons can enjoy all kinds of privileges granted by the emperor......
So when Chai Guosheng shouted out at this time that his lady was on the way to Bianjing, with an "iron coupon" on her body, not only Fang Tingshuo was completely at a loss, but even Liang Xing was a little dazed, and involuntarily looked towards the side of the court and the crowd.
"The Chai family's 'iron coupon' was issued by Emperor Taizu, but it was only awarded to the Chai family's relatives and generations of descendants." Just as Liang Xing's eyes fell into the crowd, Liu Xing spoke loudly, flew through the crowd and landed on the guillotine.
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xing raised his leg and kicked Chai Guosheng's neck, kicking him to the ground with a "bang".
Then Liu Xing stood proudly, looked around, and released an incomparably powerful power of faith for a killing aura, which suppressed the restless crowd around him and calmed down suddenly, making the onlookers all stare at the guillotine in amazement.
Shocking the people around him, Liu Xing lowered his head and looked coldly at Chai Guosheng, whose front teeth were knocked out and his mouth was full of blood.
Then he slowly squatted down and said to him with a sneer: "You fool people and don't look at who the other party is?" It's up to you, you became a deserter when your master led everyone to fight against the golden dog, why don't I believe that your old master would use the 'iron coupon' to protect you? ”
The words stopped slightly, and seeing that Chai Guosheng was about to return the favor, Liu Xing waved his palm and slapped him a few times on his fat face.
After beating him so hard that he couldn't open his mouth to defend himself, Liu Xingcai continued to say coldly: "Even if the Chai family in Cangzhou doesn't remember the old days, only the old days, and wants to use the 'iron coupon' to save you, you don't want to escape death." Because you are not a descendant of the Chai family at all, the 'iron coupon' is of no use to you at all. ”
As soon as these words fell, Liu Xing stood up suddenly.
After stepping back two steps and standing still, Zhengse said loudly to the executioner standing behind Chai Guosheng: "I am the first assistant of the court and the Taifu Liu Xing, I now order you to immediately carry out Fang Shaoyin's order, and show this guy to me as an example to the public." ”
When the executioner heard this, he was stunned, but he looked at Liu Xing stupidly, and then held the ghost-headed big knife and turned his head to look at Fang Tingshuo on the high platform stupidly.
As soon as he saw Liu Xing flying from the crowd onto the guillotine, Fang Tingshuo was startled at first. However, Liang Xing appeared, and Liu Xing should also be in the crowd, which he had guessed earlier, so he quickly calmed down when the executioner looked at him.
As soon as he saw the executioner looking at him, Fang Tingshuo immediately shouted loudly: "You bastard, look at what I do!" Taifu personally ordered you to cut down the thief, and you don't want to execute it quickly! ”
Hearing Fang Tingshuo's words, the executioner turned his head to look at Liu Xing in a daze: "You, are you really Mrs. Liu?" ”
After a slight pause in his words, he showed a simple smile, and laughed when he raised the ghost head knife again: "Haha, I have been an executioner for ten years, but today I am fortunate to be the prime minister and order to cut people!" Haha, Glory Ancestor, you thief go to death! ”
The executioner's laughter fell, and the big knife in his hand also "clicked" down, cutting Chai Guosheng's head to the neck and breaking it, and rolling down the guillotine like a ball. (To be continued.) )
