Why did Chongzhen kill Qian Longxi?

On August 16th, Chongzhen cut Yuan Chonghuan, and two days later, he called his ministers to study the problem of Qian Longxi on the platform. More than 60 officials from five governments and six departments including Chongqing, Qingdao and Shi Yu attended the meeting. After a long debate, a consensus was finally reached: although Qian Longxi provoked the slaughter of Mao, in his correspondence with Yuan Chonghuan, he repeatedly told Yuan to be cautious and must "get along well, get along well", clearly expressing the meaning of not killing at will. Therefore, the Mao case is entirely Yuan Chonghuan's personal act. As for making peace with the late Jin, Yuan Chonghuan advocated it. Although Qian Longxi knew that things were important, he dared not accept them, and his attitude was ambiguous. At first, people said it was up to you, Yuan Dushi, and later, Emperor SHEN WOO, so it was not suitable to talk about money. Discuss two things by yourself and do their own thing. As a cabinet scholar and assistant minister, Qian Longxi was concerned about the safety of the battlefield and could not take the initiative to expose Yuan Chonghuan's treachery. His crime can't escape, but his official position is high and expensive, which meets the conditions of eight opinions. How to deal with it, please the emperor cut it. The official department summarized these opinions and reported them to Chongzhen. Chongzhen ordered the Royal Guards to fly to Zhejiang and arrested Qian Longxi for Beijing. Qian Longxi left Beijing for his hometown last year. Although the immortal was lost, the emperor still gave the college students the courtesy of returning to their hometowns as usual, gave money, arranged a chariot and horse station, and returned to Huating (seaside) in Songjiang, Zhejiang with dignity. When I got home, I was very scared after giving birth, and I was glad I got away with it. Since then, I have been drinking and reading, playing the piano and playing chess, but I am also very happy. The dream didn't last long. In less than half a year, Royal Guards brought him back to Beijing. 1 1 month, Qian Longxi twist? When he arrived in Beijing, he was put in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and ordered to confess all the crimes. /kloc-in October/February, the Ministry of Punishment held a hearing jointly with Duchayuan and Dali Temple. People think that Qian Longxi had a hunch about Yuan Chonghuan's killing Mao, but he didn't report it; On the matter of making peace, Yuan Chonghuan only dissuaded him privately and did not report to the court. In short, it is a private organization's activity, and it is right to cut it. However, in the eight proposals, there are conditions for reducing the sentence. On the whole, they may be exiled and sent to the court. After reporting to Chongzhen, the emperor replied that "although we should cherish the state system, we should not move it lightly into the constitution, and the court should discuss it clearly and wait for it according to the plan." In one sentence, the emperor overthrew the opinions of the three legal departments and sentenced Qian Longxi to death. Ancient China was a privileged society. The emperor stood at the top of the pyramid and had all the supreme privileges. As long as he is not overthrown, no matter what heinous crimes he commits, he will not be punished. Throughout the ages, people have talked about the phrase "the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty", saying only the prince, not the emperor. Chai Jin, a whirlwind in Water Margin, was given an iron coupon of Dan Shu by Emperor Zhao, who committed a capital crime and can be pardoned. However, after Dan Shu fell into Gaotangzhou, the effect of moving iron coupons for him was not good, because the magistrate he met was Gao Lian, the younger brother of Tang Qiu Gao Qiu. The exception is that some people in North Korea do not abide by political rules. Next, princes and ministers should also have certain privileges, including the right of judicial pardon. The "eight-discussion system" came into being. The "Eight Intentions" system originated from the "Eight Pioneers" in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is the embodiment of the ritual principle of "punishment is not superior to doctor" in punishment. When Wei Mingdi and Cao Rui of the Three Kingdoms formulated the "New Law", they formally wrote the "eight opinions" into the code for the first time, including the discussion on personal relationship, past, talent, ability, merit, nobility, diligence and guests. "Pro" refers to relatives of the royal family; "Reason" refers to the emperor's old age; "Xian" refers to saints and gentlemen; "Can" refers to people with great skills; "Merit" refers to people who have made great contributions; "Expensive" refers to a person whose official position is large enough; "Diligence" refers to an excellent model worker; "Bin" refers to the descendants of the former emperors. According to the conditions, Qian Longxi is worthy of the aristocratic standards of these eight people. The minister was heartbroken and finally found such a lifeline for him, but Chongzhen didn't buy it. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only one university student was killed, that is, Xia Yan of Jiajing Dynasty. Eighty years later, Qian Longxi was fortunate to be the second college student to eat crabs. The emperor wanted to kill Qian Longxi, so the punishments had to execute it. According to Xia Yan's example, in Xicheng, Brother Qian found a good place with smooth sailing and prepared to wait on him to die. Qian Longxi self-denial is dead now. He just heard about the fate of Yuan Chonghuan, and his hair stood on end. He thinks that the emperor can give him a good time, which is a terrible grace. I didn't expect him to die. You Chunfang You Zhongyun (an official of Zhan Shifu who is responsible for giving lectures to the Prince, is a six-product) Huang Daozhou Legato twice, saying that Qian Longxi's sin will not die, and Chongzhen reprimanded him for talking about Zude, assisted by Qu Bei's sin, but did not make a three-level call. In May of the fourth year of Chongzhen, when there was no rain in Beijing, Hu Yingtai, the minister of punishments, begged Qian Longxi for mercy and gave it to Liu Si? Then he interceded for Qian Longxi, and Chongzhen ordered the three law departments to review, which was equivalent to giving a clear signal of leniency. The third division got the news and prepared a large beach for the emperor. Soon, Chongzhen issued a decree, put Qian Longxi to death and sent him to Dinghaiwei. Mr. Qian Ge's fortune-telling is very powerful. He can survive from death by being exposed to the light without rain. He was exiled to join the army in Dinghai 12 years, and he could not be pardoned twice in the world. It was not until the death of Chongzhen that the axe king, Zhu Yousong and Nanjing ascended the throne that the original official was pardoned and returned to his hometown. He died shortly after he was 68.
