Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 813 Quite thoughtful

Zhao Hanzhang lost his temper fiercely, letting Xuan Yuxiu and other Han officials know that Zhao Hanzhang was not so gentle. Also, how could a person who can command the three armies be soft-tempered?

After this outburst of temper, Xuan Yuxiu, Liu Qin and others did not dare to say anything even though they felt that the emperor's funeral was too crude.

After all, Liu Yuan was not the king of Zhao Hanzhang, but the king of an enemy country. She just exposed Liu Yuan's body in the wilderness. At most, he got a reputation as ruthless and ruthless. A good burial can give you a good reputation. Being buried with the standards of an emperor is more than just a good burial. He also indirectly recognized Liu Yuan's identity and his achievements in this life. This alone was enough to convince the Han courtiers.

Even Liu Yi couldn't say anything resentful towards her.

The two countries are enemies, and Liu Yuan was once a minister of the Jin Dynasty and a prince of the Fan Dynasty. His identity naturally made Zhao Hanzhang's attack righteous. What's more, this war was also initiated by the Han Dynasty.

Pingyang City was destroyed because their skills were inferior to others, so they were angry and ashamed, but it was difficult to resent Zhao Hanzhang.

If she did something cruel and inhumane, such as killing their emperor, massacring their people and soldiers...

It happened that the emperor died of illness himself, and Zhao Hanzhang also announced that the imperial doctor wanted to save him; she did not kill people indiscriminately, whether they were Han people or Hu people, as long as they did not attack her soldiers or violate her rules, she would tolerate them and treat them equally; As for the captured soldiers, she gave them preferential treatment.

Since the destruction of Pingyang City, Zhao Jiajun has made no mistakes wherever he goes. He only obeys orders to count the family properties and court assets of various officials.

She did so well that no one who wanted to find fault with her could find it. Finally, when she saw that she had taken up so many burial objects, she even tore up the list of burial objects and issued an order prohibiting burials. Then she whispered to her Stingy, still a bit vindictive and other small talk.

Zhao Hanzhang had no idea that her anger had dissipated a lot when Fu Tinghan came over to eat. "I didn't expect that they would still think about being buried when their country was about to be destroyed. They almost lost more than two hundred lives in vain."

Fu Tinghan: "I heard someone say when I came here that you were very angry today. Are you still angry now?"

Zhao Hanzhang snorted, frowned and thought: "Now it is under my nose, you can ban it, but what about where I can't see it?"

Fu Tinghan thought for a while and said: "Don't you always say that what goes up and what goes up will lead to imitation? You abolished the burial system and did not allow your officials to bury living people and livestock. You implemented thin burials, and the people naturally followed."

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his head and thought, "But this is too slow. Who knows how many people will die because of burials during this period of time when the atmosphere above affects the people below?"

"I asked Mr. Ming today and found out that although people were not allowed to be buried alive since the beginning of the First Emperor, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty did not recommend it, there are still people among the people who have died alive."

"If a husband dies, his wife will die, and if his concubines die; if the master dies, his slaves will die in burial. These are all tacit rules. Especially for some princes and kings, who have no court constraints and are lawless. There are many private murders and burials," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now And in troubled times, human lives are like straw, and for the so-called rich burial, thousands of people are killed and buried."

That's why Xuan Yuxiu felt that Liu Yuan was very virtuous and only chose his favorite young concubine to be buried. There were not many maids and chamberlains buried with him. He didn't understand why Zhao Hanzhang was so angry.

"What do you want?"

"I plan to ask Uncle Cheng to lead the schools in various places to take action. I will not only impose strict requirements from above to put an end to this matter, but I will also publicize it from below and change their minds."

It's one thing that the person in power doesn't like her, but the change of her thoughts is even more important. Otherwise, if she dies in the future and someone is in power, wouldn't the burial system start blowing like a spring breeze again?

In fact, the burial system of human sacrifice was very popular in the former Qin Dynasty, but Qin Shihuang did not like human sacrifice, and chose to use pottery and wooden figurines instead. Since then, the emperors have not respected human sacrifice, but some local princes and dignitaries will privately use human sacrifice for burial.

Zhao Hanzhang only knew that in history, until the Liao Dynasty, human sacrifice began to become popular again. This popularity meant that the emperor used people to sacrifice for burials, and the leaders followed suit, and the people also became popular among the people. Some rich people among the people will praise rich burials and learn to bury human beings.

After the Liao Dynasty, the burial system of sacrifice was also popular in the Jin and Yuan dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, this system was still popular. It was not until the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty abolished the burial system, and the system of human sacrifice was completed in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the Qing Dynasty, this system became popular again.

Although this system was abolished under the Emperor Kangxi, among the people, the system of martyrdom, in which the husband died and the wife died, had always existed. The court would encourage people to die by awarding and burying their wives with memorial arches of "martyrdom" and "virgin maiden". This continued until the Republic of China. , this system has never really died.

Therefore, it is not enough to abolish the system and make it effective; we must also change the system ideologically.

Zhao Hanzhang hummed and said, "When I get some free time, I will write a few stories, specifically about how the wives, concubines, and slaves who were sacrificed took revenge underground."

"Cough cough cough..." Fu Tinghan choked and coughed several times before he recovered. "You want to write a ghost story?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I not only want to write, but also publish a book."

The more she talked, the more she felt her idea was a good one, and she said happily: "When the time comes, I will give myself a pen name, have the bookstore print it out for me, and sell it as a storybook. Don't worry, no one will know that I wrote it. "

"However, there are not many literate people in this world. Whether it spreads from schools or scripts, they are faced with the class of scholars and above. However, most of the people who are buried in this world are civilians and slaves," Zhao Hanzhang said: "So As long as they know what the use is, they are most likely to be the beneficiaries, and the lower classes have to know about it and let them know how to resist."

Fu Tinghan helped her think of ideas, "Storytelling? Drama? But telling ghost stories in a teahouse, which storyteller is willing to tell it?"

Zhao Hanzhang touched his chin and said, "Then make a play."

Zhao Hanzhang looked around and whispered: "Mr. Ji and Ming cannot know about this matter. They always find things for me to do. Don't you have someone on your hands? When the time comes, ask them to help find a few storytellers and opera singers." , put this drama out."

The more Zhao Hanzhang talked about it, the more he thought this idea was good, "The theater is very profitable. There are few entertainment projects in this era, so it must be popular. Aren't they worried about ways to make money?"

Fu Tinghan: "...You are quite thoughtful. A few people in my dark department always want me to take away your power, but in the end you want them to arrange your scenes and make money for you to spend."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, "Don't pay too much attention to these details. Originally, they also wanted to make money for you, and you took the money for us to spend. Now you are just making money using the scripts I wrote and my ideas. What does this mean? It means that we should be a family. In the past, I did not participate in the step of making money, but now it is just more in-depth."
