Remove Officer and Retain Seven Killings (去官留殺)
Test whether a mixed Officer-Seven-Killings configuration is genuinely clarified by suppressing Direct Officer while preserving a usable Seven Killings.
Overview
Remove Officer and Retain Seven Killings (去官留殺) is a clarification rule for a chart where Direct Officer and Seven Killings both matter. It requires evidence that Officer is effectively removed, combined, controlled, or rendered secondary while Seven Killings remains strong, reachable, and structurally useful. Merely seeing both roles does not establish the rule.
At a glance
- Starting issue
- Direct Officer and Seven Killings both enter the structure
- Removal
- Officer needs a specific effective removal mechanism
- Retention
- Seven Killings must remain operational and useful
- Purity
- The final relation must be clearer than the initial mixture
- Timing
- Temporary removal is not a permanent natal conclusion
- Boundary
- No automatic power or high rank
Prove the mixed starting condition
Map Direct Officer and Seven Killings from the same Day Master and state why both materially affect the structure.
A hidden or exhausted secondary role may not create a true mixture.
- Require two operational roles.
- Do not infer mixture by count alone.
Identify how Officer is actually removed
Show the exact control, combination, damage, weakness, or structural exclusion that makes Officer secondary.
The mechanism must operate without simultaneously destroying the retained Seven Killings or another required path.
- Name the removing factor.
- Check collateral effects.
Verify Seven Killings remains usable
Check its roots, source, position, regulation, and relationship to the Day Master and Useful-God policy.
If it becomes uncontrolled, exhausted, or inaccessible, the named clarification has failed.
- Retention needs positive evidence.
- Publish failure conditions.
Keep clarification separate from life outcomes
去官留殺 does not guarantee authority, career advancement, decisiveness, conflict, or danger.
Real outcomes depend on context, actions, institutions, and evidence beyond the chart.
- No status guarantee.
- No risk prediction.
