Live broadcast of popular science about Emperor’s Mausoleum, ancient emperors were furious

[One of the tyrant's favorite topics, which death penalty is the most comfortable?Death penalty hanging, guillotine, shooting, electric chair, lethal injection]

"What kind of death penalty is most comfortable?"

"It's kind of interesting. "

"People are going to die, what's the use of being comfortable?"

After seeing the title in the video, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

He is still very knowledgeable in this area.

And very interested.

It's just that the sentence "tyrant's favorite topic" made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little awkward.

That's what I said.

What is a tyrant's favorite topic?

A rare benevolent gentleman like us in history actually loves this topic.

"Hey, that's an interesting topic. "

"Since ancient times, for those who deserve to die, it has always been how painful it is for them to die, and I really haven't thought about letting them have a more comfortable way to die. "

Zhu Di also found it very interesting.

He killed countless people on the battlefield.

Probably more dead people have been seen than alive.

Maybe it's also because of genetics.

He is in the same vein as his father Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has a tendency to kill in his bones.

"Fourth, you can't say that. "

"Since ancient times, human lives have been at stake. "

"Lives are at stake, and you can't joke about them. "

Zhu Biao taught solemnly.

"Got it, big brother. "

Zhu Biao hurriedly scratched his head and agreed.

He was too afraid of Zhu Biao's chatter.

When I was little.

Zhu Biao was always nagging in his ear.

What hard work, to lead by example, the Ming prince should also be diligent and thrifty, etc.

All kinds of big truths are tirelessly said over and over again.

Zhu Di has already formed a conditioned reflex.

As long as Zhu Biao speaks the truth.

He immediately agreed to agree, and asked Zhu Biao to stop talking about it immediately.

However.

Zhu Biao did not go as he wished.

Read on.

"Fourth brother, you don't know anything. "

"In fact, sometimes, many death row prisoners are sentenced to death as a last resort. "

"Most of these people are honest people. "

"But you also know that human nature is a thing, and being honest is destined to be bullied by others. "

"Many honest people were bullied in a hurry, their families were hurt, and in a fit of rage, they took a knife and killed those who bullied them. "

"How do you deal with this situation?"

Zhu Biao asked rhetorically.

Zhu Yuanzhang next to him also watched the brothers discuss these issues with interest.

"This ......"

Zhu Di frowned.

It's not like he's not unheard of these things.

Let's take your own Yan County as an example.

There is such an honest man.

I have done my duty all my life, and I will never say a word to others.

Even in the face of some naughty children's ridicule and ridicule.

He just laughed it off.

This honest man has only one daughter under his knees.

It's a coincidence.

One day.

A bully in the village, drunk, insulted the daughter.

The honest man went to sue the official, but he was beaten and bruised.

And the bully is still at large, and even goes to the honest man to mock him in front of him, saying that he is a waste.

The honest man was furious.

Slaughtered the bully with a single sword.

At last.

This honest man was also beheaded.

Is it fair?

It's not fair!

This honest man did his duty and never did anything bad in his life, but because of the appearance of a bully, he buried his life and the happiness of his daughter.

That bully damn it!

However.

The honest man had no way to let him die, but he had to suffer such a big consequence.

Zhu Biao's question made Zhu Di think of this matter.

If he had been the one who had tried the case.

It is estimated that it is also in a dilemma.

Be lenient, the honest man did kill someone.

Written in the Ming Law.

Murder pays for life, and the death penalty must be met.

There is no possibility of extrajudicial mercy.

But if it is punishable by death.

Isn't that honest man too wronged?

Either way.

It all seems to be wrong.

This is the question Zhu Biao asked.

"I don't know~~. "

In the end, Zhu Di shook his head dejectedly.

"It's not your fault. "

"A lot of things are like that, and there's no perfect solution. "

"It is a matter of course to repay debts and kill people to pay for their lives. "

"However, if there are really extenuating circumstances, perhaps some death row prisoners can be used to go to Elysium in the most comfortable way of death. "

"That's the best we can do. "

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

As soon as this statement came out.

Zhu Di suddenly realized.

"I see!"

"Just like those who are forced to become death row prisoners, they are originally very kind, but for various reasons they are forced to become death row prisoners. "

"Since we can't exonerate them, at least let them die comfortably, and they can be worthy of their kindness. "

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. "

That's what it means. "

Just as the two of them were discussing.

On the canopy.

The video starts playing.

[You are a heinous death row prisoner, and after a fair trial, you were sentenced to death and executed immediately. 】

[Fortunately, we are very humane to let you choose your own implementation method.] 】

[You can freely choose hanging, guillotine, shooting, electric chair, and lethal injection.] 】

[How? You don't know how to choose?]

See here.

Many of the ancients had distorted faces.

"Hehe, it's really intimate, and you can freely choose the death penalty. "

"I don't think it's good to have any of them. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I remember the guillotine, wasn't the previous King of France, Louis XVI, who was pushed to the guillotine by the common people during the French Revolution?"

"Yes, yes, that's not a good way to die, when that Louis XVI fell off the guillotine, his eyes popped out. "

"Hey, don't say it, I feel sick when I think about it. "

The ancients of all dynasties and generations talked about it.

The video continues to play.

[Well, since you don't know how to choose, then I'll give you an introduction to the characteristics of these death penalty methods one by one. 】

[The first is hanging, which has a long history, and when the execution is carried out, you need to stand on the flap of the gallows and then put a rope around your neck. 】

[The rope may be a little uncomfortable, but don't worry too much, you don't have to wear it for a long time.] 】

You may worry that you are in pain, but this has happened before. 】

[However, we will now customize the rope length according to your height and weight, and the scientific and reasonable rope length will ensure that you die immediately without any pain. 】

"This is really a thoughtful way to execute. "

Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Among the ways he knew the death penalty.

There doesn't seem to be such a special method.

The so-called hanging, like hanging. []

But.

to officially certified hanging.

It is generally used for harem concubines or palace maids and eunuchs.

There are basically only two ways to impose the death penalty by the Criminal Department.

Either a decapitation or a halve-in decapitation.

A more serious one is Ling Chi's execution.

It's just that this kind of death is too cruel.

Unless heinous.

In general, such a method of death is not adopted.

In the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Shimin, the number of executions was very rare, basically about single digits, and Ling Chi's execution never happened once.

The video continues to play.

[By the way, before we start, we need to put a black bag on your head. 】

[This is because your eyes and tongue will protrude due to oppression, causing psychological shadows to the viewer.] 】

[What? Do you think death is too ugly?]

[Then I'll introduce you to the guillotine.] 】

[He has an upright frame, as well as a heavy-duty inclined blade suspended from the top.] At the bottom is a wooden board that holds the person to be executed, and directly below the blade are two splints to hold the neck in place. 】

[In front of the guillotine is a basket used to hold the head.] 】

[When the execution is carried out, you will lie on the plank, and then your neck will be stuck in the middle of the plank, and then the sharp blade will fall and cut your head off, and the whole process is very clean and painless. 】

"'That's a good way to die. "

"I love it. "

Wu Zetian in the Divine Dragon Period showed a strange smile.

On the main hall.

All the ministers shuddered.

Since Wu Zetian became the emperor, he has become more and more irritable, and he wants to kill people at every turn.

Many ministers have died tragically.

Because Wu Zetian didn't believe in these ministers from the bottom of his bones.

I always feel that they are still loyal to Li Tang Tianxia.

"Elder Di Ge, what do you think of this method?"

Wu Zetian smiled and looked at Di Renjie, who was standing at the top of the hundred officials.

Di Renjie's face froze.

Very reluctant to discuss this topic.

But the emperor personally named him to speak, and he also had to bite the bullet and express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, this guillotine does have some benefits, at least for many death row inmates, it may be a relief. "

That's it.

All the officials present looked at Di Renjie in shock.

Di Renjie is highly respected, his protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition, and all the officials in the court take him as an example.

But I didn't expect it either.

In the face of Wu Zetian's questioning.

Di Renjie would say such a heartbreaking thing.

Many ministers were disappointed.

"Oh, tell me, what do you mean?"

Wu Zetian smiled with satisfaction and continued to ask with interest.

Di Renjie met Wu Zetian's gaze.

He said calmly: "Your Majesty, the death penalty in this mechanical form can relieve the executioner's psychological burden, and second, it can more accurately cut off the person's head at one time." "

"In many cases, the executioners are not skilled enough to quickly cause the death of a condemned prisoner, and a second or even three slashing is inflicting on the suffering of those prisoners, which is inhumane. "

And this guillotine method can alleviate the suffering of the condemned prisoners, and it can also relieve the profession of executioner, which is feared by the world. "。
