In ancient times, imperial power was supreme, and there was a saying that "let me die and I will die". What are the consequences of the emperor's death and disobeying the imperial edict?

We all know that the ancient imperial power was supreme, but it was often the monarch who let the minister die and the minister had to die, which led many people to have different understandings.

This is "the king told his subjects that they must die". Even strong disobedience can only be obedience and obedience. So how did the "death system" develop?

He Yun's death is like this. Some people say that since you are a decent person, you should be decent if you die naturally. First of all, in ancient times, it was a very decent way to die. Cruel punishments include beheading, beheading, spirit pool and dismembering five horses. Compared with these punishments, being killed by the emperor is really the favor of the emperor. Because in ancient times, it was a shame to die without a complete body. People often swear that there is no whole body if there is any way, so it is still good to be killed by the emperor. The wisest choice is to thank the emperor. For example, He Jiong left by Qianlong was moved to tears. So even if he wants to scold, he'd better meditate in his heart.

It is necessary to distinguish between two situations and treat them separately. In the first case, the killed person loses the ability to act, which requires the person who made the announcement to do so. The second situation is that the person sentenced to death has the capacity to act, but he does not commit suicide, disobey orders or commit suicide. First of all, there are two ways to deal with it. He was forced to commit suicide in a more vicious way. For example, Zhao Bo, Wendi's brother-in-law, committed a capital crime, and Wendi thought that he would commit suicide based on his contribution to the emperor. However, Zhao Bo didn't commit suicide, and he still stood firm in the face of Emperor Wu. Second, in the process of death, accidents occur, as a special case. This has the color of "comedy", such as Jia Zhiyan in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the imperial power was supreme in ancient times, and there was a saying that "the monarch let the minister die, and the minister had to die." When the emperor dies, he dies.
