On the morning of the fifth day of October, the sound of bronze bells resounded on the street.
A soldier from Tingwei Mansion held a gong in one hand and a mallet in the other.
He banged the gong and shouted: "The Tang concubine and the country's father who launched the rebellion a few months ago.
Tang Mao, Situ Zhongji and more than two hundred court ministers and officials will be taken to the execution ground today to be beheaded in public.
Xianza and others quickly evacuate."
That night a few months ago, the city of Chang'an turned into a large-scale battlefield.
Many innocent people were involved and their bodies were found on the spot.
Some families suffered unreasonable disasters and their families were destroyed.
Therefore, the people in Chang'an were very angry with these rebels.
The people did not dare to rush up and beat the prisoners in the prison cars.
They used rotten eggs, stones, and rotten vegetable leaves to hit the rebel prisoners.
Tang Mao was a little crazy at this time and shouted: "Hahaha, you ignorant fools were enslaved by Liu Cheng without knowing it.
It is so sad that I fell into such a fate today.
I am just a winner and a loser."
"It's reasonable to smash him to death if it brings disaster to the country and the people."
"Yes, smash him to death" A lot of rotten eggs, stones and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was beaten to a disgrace, while the other prisoners were sitting feebly in the prison car, their eyes dull.
Some people learned at this time that they were going to be beheaded. , all shivering with fear, and the whole person was in a trance.
Not long after, the prisoners were escorted to a specially prepared execution ground outside the city.
There was already a sea of people around them.
When many people saw the prisoners being escorted, they raised their fists and shouted: "Those who cause trouble should be killed."
Suddenly a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came out: "Kill them, kill them, kill them."
Whether it was the first prisoners who were locked in the prison car and being pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, or the secondary prisoners who were chained behind the prison car and being driven away by the soldiers with whips, everyone who saw this situation and the formation had the same look.
His face was ashen.
To be honest, these people who dared to rebel may have thought that such a day might come.
Many people had already prepared in their hearts and were not afraid of death.
But now, they are frightened by the situation in front of them.
They are not afraid.
Death, but I am afraid that after death I will leave a bad reputation that will last forever.
Isn’t this situation enough to last forever?
One by one, the prisoners were almost dragged to the execution ground by the soldiers.
These people were thrown on the execution ground.
Everyone no longer had the courage to kneel, and they all collapsed on the ground.
Among the special prisoners, Concubine Tang, who has the most distinguished status.
A woman who was once an imperial concubine, had such a distinguished status and lived such a privileged life.
But now she has ended up like this.
Is it sad or deplorable?
Some low-status characters were beheaded first.
After a little identification, the executioner chopped off the heads with one stroke.
Rows of heads rolled to the ground.
The people hated these people so much that they were not afraid at all.
A loud cheer.
The first two hundred insignificant prisoners were executed, leaving only a dozen ministers.
The executioners had already raised their butcher knives, and an official came galloping over on horseback.
"His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict to pardon the Tang Dynasty Concubine" In response to the official's shouts, the people around the execution ground immediately gave up and yelled and cursed.

Many people began to speak rudely to the emperor directly.
Waves of denunciation and opposition came out, expressing the strong dissatisfaction of the people, but this could not affect the result.
At the signal of the prison officer, two soldiers took Concubine Tang down from the execution platform, shackles on her hands and feet.
After being relieved, several maids came forward and helped Tang Concubine get into a carriage.
Some cavalry escorted the carriage through the execution ground and quickly left into the city.
Tang Mao laughed: "Hahaha, I will die with no regrets."
The beheading officer threw down his arrow and shouted: "Behead" More than a dozen heads rolled to the ground together, and the people watching gradually dispersed.
No one collected the corpses.
These corpses were thrown into mass graves, because the family members of these corpses were also among those who were beheaded.
Only female family members would be distributed. work.
Weiyang Palace, front hall.
Liu Bian turned his back to the palace door with his hands behind his back.
Concubine Tang, who had finished washing herself, walked in and bowed down in the middle of the hall: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty and thank Your Majesty for saving my life."
Liu Bian slowly turned around and looked at Concubine Tang.
After a long time, he walked over and stood in front of Concubine Tang and said: "Flat body" "Thank you, Your Majesty" Concubine Tang stood up as she spoke.
Liu Bian said: "Your concubine, even if I want to kill you, I can only kill you.
We are husband and wife who share the same hardships.
I trusted you at the time, but you went too far this time."
Concubine Tang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I am not targeting you, but I am targeting Liu Cheng.
His Majesty is the emperor and my husband.
No matter how vicious I am, I will not dare to harm your majesty."
Liu Bian sighed: "Do you know why I don't want to govern?
Because I am self-aware.
With my talents, I can't manage this huge world at all.
I can't even straighten out the imperial court.
How can I talk about governing the country?
Tang Mao and his gang can only manage it."
He knows how to talk, of course he is your father, I shouldn't say this about him, but they are a group of people with great ambitions and talents.
Although I am not very good, I know how much I have.
They have neither.
You know yourself, but you want to seize power from Liu Cheng.
If Liu Cheng was so easy to deal with, he would have been killed by Dong Zhuo long ago.
You don't have to be sad no matter which time you get Tang Hao and the others.
They are more likely to die.
I just hope you understand.
If you don’t have that talent, just do your duty honestly and don’t think about useless things.
This time, in order to save you, I used my privilege again.
There is only one left.
Please don’t cause me any more trouble, okay?”
Concubine Tang knelt on the ground again: "Yes, I understand.
I will serve Your Majesty well in the future and will never do anything that worries Your Majesty again."
"That's right, get up and walk around my imperial garden."
Da Sima Mansion.
Liu Cheng was reviewing the memorial documents.
Zhao Rui walked in and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, please find your subordinates."

Liu Cheng stopped, put down his pen and said: "Your Majesty used his privilege once to save Concubine Tang.
Do you think Concubine Tang will honestly be her princess in the future?"
"This subordinate dare not make any assumptions," Zhao Rui said after hesitation.
Liu Cheng shook his head, stood up and walked down the steps and said: "There is a saying among the people that dogs cannot change their eating shit.
Who doesn't want the supreme power?
Once people have this idea and almost succeed, they will never give up easily.
Some people He will never give up until he achieves his goal.
As for whether Concubine Tang is this kind of person, I can't make a conclusion, but no matter what, we have to take precautions.
Is there anyone from the Bronze Mirror Department around her?"
"Yes, but not a personal maid."
"Then find a way to make the people from the Bronze Mirror Department become her personal maids.
The method is to send people to keep an eye on her at all times and not relax at all."
"yes" After Zhao Rui left, Zhang Ji came over with a memorial and reported: "My lord, Nanlou, the envoy of Karasuma and one of the three kings of Karasuma, requested to pay a visit to my lord."
Liu Cheng took the memorial, looked at it, raised his head and asked, "How many days have they been here?"
"Five days" Liu Cheng thought for a while and said to Zhang Ji: "In that case, please make arrangements and let him come to see me tomorrow morning."
"Yes, my lord" The next morning, Zhang Ji took Nanlou to Da Sima's mansion.
Nanlou brought two attendants, all of whom held boxes in their hands.
The lobby of Da Sima's Mansion was filled with civilian officials and military generals.
These officials, generals and generals were all directly subordinate to Da Sima's Mansion.
Liu Cheng sat in the main seat and watched Nanlou walk in.
Nanlou walked to the middle and knelt down to Liu Cheng, stroking his chest and said: "Wumaru Shanyu Nanlou pays homage to Da Sima."
These words caused all the civil servants in the hall to curse, "How brave!
How dare a small leader of the tribe dare to call himself Shan Yu in front of the great Sima?"
Liu Cheng raised his hand to silence the officials, looked at Nanlou and said: "Nanlou, as far as I know, you are just the leader of a Karasuma tribe in Shanggu County, but you claim to be a Shanyu in front of me, are you uncomfortable with your neck?"
Too tough to be afraid of my butcher’s knife.”
Nanlou snorted coldly: "Da Sima, what do you mean by this?
My title of Chanyu was conferred by your court.
Is it wrong for me to call myself Chanyu in front of you?"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the officials and generals on both sides and asked, "Do you know when the imperial court consecrated Nanlou as a chanyu?"
Zhang Ji stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, as far as I know, the imperial court has never conferred the title of Nanlou."
Nanlou couldn't believe it and lost his voice: "This is impossible.
Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, personally sent people to our tribe's camp in Shanggu to read out the canonization of the Han Dynasty."
Discussions suddenly broke out in the lobby, and someone yelled: "This must be the canonization of Karasuma by the dog thief Yuan Shao under the guise of the imperial court in order to win over Karasuma."
"Yuan Shao's traitor is bold" Someone stood up directly and said to Liu Cheng: "My lord, Yuan Shao is really lawless and doesn't take the court seriously at all.
Please send out a large army to attack Yuan Shao."
Liu Cheng raised his hand to ask all the officials and military generals to calm down, and said: "This matter will be postponed for later discussion.
Today I will receive the Karasuma envoy."
"Yes, my lord" Liu Cheng nodded and said to Nanlou: "Nanlou, you heard it.
I have never canonized you.
If there are other canonizations, it must be Yuan Shao's false transmission of the imperial decree.
So, you have been deceived by Yuan Shao." " Nan Lou was furious and said, "Damn Yuan Shao.
Several of my brothers and I really regard him as a friend, but he deceived us like this and asked us to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan with him.
This man is really hateful.
I will definitely do it after I go back."
You must tell Tadun, Su Puyan and Wu Yan about this matter."

Liu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Stop, stop, stop, Nanlou, don't get angry first.
This is not the place for you to get angry.
Why did you come to Chang'an this time?"
Nanlou stroked his chest and said, "I want the Grand Sima to know that the Dongxianbei Yuwenbu is a vassal of my Karasuma.
The Grand Sima sent troops to attack the Yuwenbu without even saying hello.
This doesn't seem right.
I don't know."
Where did the Han Dynasty put me, Karasuma, by doing this?"
Zhang Ji immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Chief Nanlou, the envoy we sent to the Yuwen Department was chased by the Yuwen Department's cavalry on the way back.
At least 150 people were killed.
This is an attack on our Han Dynasty.
It’s a serious provocation by the Han Dynasty.
It’s understandable for me, the Han Dynasty, to send troops to attack the Yuwen Ministry.
Why is it that Master Nanlou came to Chang’an this time to raise an army to question the crime?”
