Shendu Luoyang, Xishikou, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sky is thousands of miles, the autumn sun is like gold, and the sun pours down arbitrarily, and the bright tiles and cornices on the roofs of the shops in all directions are crossed with a layer of light gold, but because of the disturbance of the autumn wind, the golden light and shadow gently ripple.
Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted by, blocking the golden autumn sun in the sky, and the north wind suddenly rose, blowing the doors and windows of the shops that had not had time to close, and there was a cold chill in the face.
Today is a killing day, and Xishikou is the place where the murder is done, and dozens of prisoners awaiting execution are kneeling along the long street, including old and young, men and women, and even ignorant young children who are only two or three years old.
On the day of the vision, after Zhou Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, played martial arts, the five kings of Yanjiang, Nanyue, Minyue, Chujiang and Fujian conspired to rebel in Quanzhou.
Zhou Xing took advantage of this to greatly promote the prison and arbitrarily detain the ministers, and used the method of "copying melons and vines" to implicate hundreds of people within ten days, and there were many "sick and dead people and people who committed suicide in fear of crime" in the prison of the Criminal Department every day, so that everyone in the hundred officials was in danger and could not live in fear.
Today's execution was the "number one internal response" of the five kings' rebellion, so the son-in-law of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, the general of Wei Guogong and the auxiliary state, and Xiao Qianke, the general of the right guard of the inspection school, were all beheaded by the family, regardless of men and women.
Xiao Qianke, born in the Xiao clan of Lanling, is the grandson of Xiao Yu, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty and the right servant of Taizong Dynasty, Princess Shang Jinyang, that is, the widow of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.
In the past year, during the Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was killed by Yu Chigong, leaving only a son and a widow.
Every time Taizong thought about the king of Qi, he was in pain, and he regarded the children of the king of Qi as his own, and he was favored.
Because the prince of Qi has inherited the lord of the king of Qi and has reached the top of the title, he added all the grace to the widow of the king of Qi, and when he was one year old, he was crowned the princess of Jinyang.
Jinyang has an extremely important position in Li Tang, where it is the land of Li Tang's Longxing, and Taizong takes Jinyang as his title, which shows how important the position of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is in his heart.
After the death of the second generation of King Qi, the third generation of King Qi was demoted to the king of Minyue by Empress Gaozong, which is now Empress Wu, and was sent to the Lingnan Mountains to be the "king of the mountain".
Princess Jinyang has passed away for many years, and the concubine Xiao Qianke is also dying, nursing at home with the false title of an auxiliary general, waiting for Jinyang's "call". is such an old man who is waiting for death at home, but Zhou Xing is designated as the number one rebel of the five kings.
An auxiliary general who has not had a single soldier and has been idle for more than ten years, what does he do to do internal response The so-called inspection of the right guard general is an honor, and it should not be true.
Now, all the old and young families, both men and women, have been tied up and taken to the execution ground and beheaded.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the wives and daughters of criminal officials have generally been confiscated into the palace and become official slaves, and the young heirs have been exiled to Lingnan.
The old and young families of the convicted officials, regardless of men and women, were all cut off, which was a precedent for the martial arts.
Since then, the cool officials have been rampant, killing the whole world with rolling heads, bleeding and drifting, and how many people have cut off incense and sacrifices.
The time has come, the sword light rises, the blood rain flies, the heads roll down, and the sixty-one mouths of Xiao Qianke's family, men, women and children are all killed, and they help the old and the young to go to Huangquan Road.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the human head was scattered everywhere, the red blood stained the ground of Xishikou, seeping into the cracks of the floor tiles, and the smell of blood spread throughout the small half of Luoyang City with the cold and cold north wind, and the whistling sound in the wind was a terrible howl of the soul, and he was unwilling to leave for a long time.
On the east side of the West Market Entrance, across four or five streets, there is a Cui Hu clear oil car, pulling the cart is two cyan horses, the middle-aged coachman who drives the car is holding a horsewhip, his eyes are staring at the road ahead, but he has two ears, as if waiting for the master's instructions to go on the road at any time.
More than a dozen guards in shirts and swords, all riding high-headed horses, guarded by the oil cart.
Although there was no official flag on the car, with these good horses and these sturdy guards, it can also be seen that the identity of the people in the car is extraordinary.
No one spoke, even breathing as lightly as possible, and the car was silent, only the curtains were messy in the wind, occasionally revealing a beautiful face, which was so stunning that people were overwhelmed.
If the flower is compared to the beauty, then the woman in the car is undoubtedly the best in the flower, both the luxury of the peony, and the amazing snow lotus, and there is a more beautiful in the grace, but there is always a touch of sadness and sadness between her eyebrows, and the thick can not be opened.
A woman in Tsing Yi, about 30 years old, came from the direction of Xishikou in a hurry.
The shirt-shirted guards just looked up at the woman, but they didn't do anything, it was obvious that they were a group.
The woman in Tsing Yi walked to the side of the Qingyou car, got into the car with a curtain, knelt on the brocade pier at the door, and bowed her head and said, "Princess, the family of the general of the auxiliary country has gone." ” "Have you gone all right, you know him now, don't you have to go sooner or later" The beautiful woman in the car smiled sadly, her beautiful eyes opened and closed, her long eyelashes shook, and two tears slid down her eyelashes, and then rolled down.
She tilted her face slightly, let the tears roll in her eyes, try not to let it fall, and said in a Qi voice: "The five princes who were kept in captivity like pigs and dogs have not a single soldier in their hands, what to do."
This truth, the prime ministers know, the officials know, and the queen mother knows it well, but what's the use of the queen mother needs them to rebel, they must be really opposed, and the truth is not important.
Wei Guogong, a person who has been away from the court and has been idle at home for 20 years, what can he do to be a hundred officials and generals in the army, no one is willing to rebel with a person he has never known But do you know how the queen mother responded to Cen Changqian's questioning?
Hehe, there may be.
What a brilliant three words, there may or may not be O queen mother, you have killed two sons and a son-in-law, when will it be my daughter's turn to me?"
It turned out that the beautiful woman in this car was the sister of the current emperor, the youngest daughter of the Empress Wu, Princess Taiping, that is, the princess known as the flower of Luoyang and the princess, a woman who was a woman with thousands of beautiful spirits.
Princess Taiping sobbed softly, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, drop by drop, line by line, sliding down her cheeks.
In the spring of this year, Wu Chenghei secretly played Taizong's tenth son, Yue Wang Li Jian rebelled, the case was widely implicated, and somehow the two brothers of Xue Shao were listed as internal responses, and then, Xue Shao was also arrested into the Yushitai and listed as accomplices.
How could the horse rebel How dare he rebel Princess Taiping knelt at the palace gate with her infant son in her arms, begging to see Empress Wu, but her hard-hearted queen mother refused to see her, and she couldn't even go to the Yushitai to see her for the last time.
Queen Mother, do you know that as the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, my colt turned out to be starved to death, and you naturally know it.
Princess Taiping waved her hand lightly and said, "Let's go to Longmen":
