When Tan Sitong was killed, why didn t his father, as the governor of Huguang, see that he was dead?

Because his father was not able to save him, it was the Empress Dowager Cixi who wanted him to die, and it was fortunate that he did not drag his father into the water together.

can't be saved, because what Tan Sitong did was contrary to the will of the imperial court, and if he saved Tan Sitong, he would be against the imperial court, which would be equivalent to rebellion at that time.

The reason why Tan Jixun was indifferent to Tan Sitong's beheading was because he committed the capital crime of assassinating Cixi, and Tan Jixun did not dare to intercede for his son, and he had no chance. If Tan Sitong was sentenced to death for other crimes, Tan Jixun, as the governor, may be able to defend him, but he committed the crime of assassinating the royal family, which was a felony of the nine clans in ancient times, so Tan Jixun had no way to intercede for Tan Sitong. Regardless of the dynasty, the assassination of the royal family is the most serious crime, if such a person appears in a family, not only an individual will lose his head, but also the entire family, the worst is the nine clans, if you are lucky, the main culprit is the death penalty, and the rest of the family is exiled to the border.

Plotting a riot was considered a "capital crime" in ancient times. At this time, the imperial court has given not to kill Tan Jixun's family, Tan Jixun should be grateful to Dade, and only by honestly going home to reflect on himself can he show his good attitude of confessing his sins to the imperial court. If he wants to beg for mercy for his son Tan Sitong again, maybe Cixi, the Lafayette, will be angry, and their whole family will be beheaded.

As far as Tan Jixun's family is concerned, Tan Sitong is his third son, and his second son Tan Siqi and several grandchildren are still alive, so for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he must also be indifferent to this matter, because this is the best choice for his family.

So his son Tan Sitong was beheaded, and he could only be indifferent. It is not an exaggeration to punish Tan Jixun's family with Cixi's ruthless heart. But in Tan Sitong's incident, Tan Jixun, as his father, was only deprived of the position of governor of Hubei Province by Cixi and sent back to his hometown to care for the elderly.

So at this time, Tan Jixun didn't dare to provoke the Empress Dowager Cixi again, otherwise his family would face more severe punishment and crisis.

Because his father felt that his son had done something wrong, and even if he went to rescue him, his son would not be able to rescue him, after all, it was the Japanese who were angry.

The two people's opinions are very different. His father was a conservative. Shen Xian Tan Si is also a reformist, and there have been some conflicts between the two of them at a wide age, and the relationship between father and son is not very good.

The two of them were not on the same front at that time, and they were also representatives of the two forces.

Because Tan Sitong's father couldn't save Tan Sitong at all, after all, in the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Tan Sitong was a mortal person.

His father just didn't have much power, so he didn't bother to manage it, and felt that he should keep the family safe.

Because he guessed that in order to protect the old and young in the family, he could only give up his son's Fan Zhaohui life, and he was actually very painful at this time, but he couldn't answer anything.

Because his father's rights were not very big at that time, and he didn't have any rights, so at this time he could only see death and watch his son being killed.

That's because his father wants to save the lives of the whole family, so he can only pretend to be insensitive and watch him die, I believe that this father will be very painful when he sees his son die, but he can't help it when he lives in that era.

Because the situation at that time was more complicated, he wanted to save it, but there was no way, I have to say that the people at that time were quite miserable.

Because I didn't want to implicate myself at that time, if I chose to save the other party, then I would be sacrificed because of it, so I had to preserve my strength at this time.

There are the following reasons, the first is that it can't be saved, Tan Sitong's crime is too big, if he goes to save it, he will put his entire family into it, and Tan Jixun can only choose to be cold for the sake of the family. The second is that there is no time to rescue, Tan Sitong was caught and killed, and it was only about four days, Tan Jixun could not stop the timely and effective rescue operation, and Tan Sitong had already died in the market. The third is that Tan Si is also a conservative, he is blind to his son's different behavior, and he does not approve of Lu Qimu Zaosen, and he resolutely does not participate in all legal changes, which can be seen that Tan Jixun is conservative and pedantic.

Tan Sitong was caught and killed, and he shouted for about four days, Tan Jixun couldn't stop the timely rescue operation, and secondly, Tan Sitong was very backbone, and he died for the country, and he was determined to do so.

It's not that he can't be saved if he dies, because he was imprisoned by the emperor at that time, and the emperor was afraid that his life would be affected if he saved him.

The righteous destruction of relatives is also difficult to protect itself, and it is necessary to punish the nine clans.

Tan Sitong's father is a timid person like a mouse, his principle as an official is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, so Tan Sitong's change of law makes him very afraid, and he tries his best to draw a clear line with Tan Citong, such a person will not intercede for Tan Sitong.

I don't think it's that I can't save myself when I die, it's that I can't do anything. He also believes that his son Tan Sitong's actions are nothing more than wanting to do his part for the survival of the country and the nation, and it is also an exploration to save the Qing Dynasty. Although this kind of exploration is not in line with his own position, he is not guilty of death, he is not a wicked person, let alone a disorderly party.

Because Tan Sitong's father, Tan Jixun, knew that Tan Sitong was the core figure of the reform of the law, Cixi must kill Tan Sitong, and Tan Sitong would not be able to escape. If Tan Jixun wants to save his son, not only will he not be able to save his son, but he will even affect his own family, so in order to save his family, Tan Jixun can only watch his son Tan Sitong be killed by Cixi.

Tan Sitong's father, Tan Jixun, said that he was a conservative **, but even if he was at odds with his son's political views, and because Zhang Zhidong was arbitrary at that time, Tan Jixun would not raise any objections, so Tan Jixun did not agree with Tan Sitong's reforms, but he did not prevent his son from reforming and changing the law.

After Tan Sitong advocated changing the law, because he coincided with Emperor Guangxu's thoughts, Tan Sitong later became Emperor Guangxu's confidant, and Tan Sitong was the same reformist's change behavior, but because it touched the interests of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi was eager to get rid of Tan Sitong.

After the Empress Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, she arrested the members of the Restoration faction everywhere, although there were many members of the Restoration faction who wanted to flee overseas, but because of the lack of information, it was too late for the members of the Restoration faction to know. However, Tan Sitong did not choose to escape, and even wanted to find a way to rescue Emperor Guangxu with Liu Guangdi and others. But in the end, not only Emperor Guangxu was not rescued, but even Tan Sitong was arrested.

And after Tan Sitong's father knew the news of his son's arrest, it was too late to save his son at this time. And Tan Jixun knew that if he interceded for Tan Sitong, it would inevitably make Cixi transfer her anger to the family, which would lead to the danger of extinction of the family.

Therefore, even though Tan Sitong's father Tan Jixun was a feudal official at that time, he could only watch his son be arrested because he kept his family. Moreover, even if Tan Jixun interceded for Tan Sitong, the Empress Dowager Cixi would not let Tan Sitong go, but would let Tan Jixun take the life of the entire family, so Tan Jixun finally chose not to save his son.

Because there is no way to recover it by relying on his power, after all, his son is targeted by people who are more powerful than him, and he must be helpless, so he can only watch the child be punished

In the context of history, no matter how big the official position is, if he touches the bottom line of the ruler, then there is only a dead end.

Because he offended the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Tan Sitong was unwilling to admit his mistake, his father couldn't save him.

Because Tan Sitong's father is not capable enough, he is afraid of being implicated, and then he is too conservative and strives to be stable.

Because he didn't have the ability to save people, it was Cixi who wanted to kill his son, and if he pleaded, he would drag himself or his family down.

Because this was an order given by the Empress Dowager Cixi, Tan Si also committed a capital crime, and Father Tan knew that it was useless to save him.

Because Tan Sitong is particularly backbone, he believes that changing the law requires someone to sacrifice and shed blood.
