Xiao Xin took the opportunity to submit a request for resignation.

Yan Zhenqing followed suit, saying that he was in Fengtian City before, because of the courtiers' recommendation, in order to assist the Holy Lord and appease the people's hearts, and now His Majesty has returned to the forbidden, the ministers are old and physically exhausted, and it is inconvenient to reside in the position of ruler, so as not to have the ridicule of "Gu Chen".

The so-called Gu Chen, that is, the noun said by Confucius, in the past, Confucius's disciple Zilu served as Ji Sun's retainer, and Ji Sun asked Confucius, can Zi Lu be a minister? Confucius replied that such a person as Zhongyou (Zilu) could only be counted as a "Gu Chen", that is, a minister with a full number of reserves.

Seeing that these two are indeed bearded, Li Shi can only sigh and say after retaining him, I am willing to make a system and avoid the phase of the two, if there are ministers who resist and retain, the two cannot be shirked, and they have to stay in the political hall to continue to assist me.

Xiao and Yan both understood that this was just the emperor's words, and seeing that the glorious retirement was nine out of ten, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked His Majesty for the kindness of returning the bones.

Therefore, on the twenty-seventh day of November, there was a rare clear weather in the winter of Chang'an City, and the dry and cold north wind swirled, and Li Xilie and his family ushered in the last days.

When the Shence soldiers escorted the mighty prisoner cart to the Taimiao Temple to hold the prisoner sacrifice ceremony again, Li Xilie and dozens of family members, including his wife and concubine, children, relatives, and subordinates, were all stripped naked, shackled around their necks, handcuffed, and held each other with ropes, and the destination was the Duliu Tree in Xishi.

The whole Chang'an City was a sensation - the emperor deliberately allowed the officials and citizens to watch the execution and see the final outcome of the rebellion, and the streets were sandwiched by a sea of people. Li Xilie was at the front, looking completely crazy, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and jumping around wearing heavy shackles, calling me the king of Nanping County given by the emperor, you and others will go with me to the battlefield to make contributions! And Li Xilie's wives and concubines were naked, their hair was scattered, and some of them were holding children who didn't understand what was going to happen, enduring the scolding and insults before they died, and the mourning shook the world, and the most miserable thing was Li Xilie's young son and daughter, with their weak bodies, who were also in the ranks of being beheaded, sometimes crying because the shackles were too heavy, but they soon attracted a leather whip.

Tang Law stipulates that those who rebel and conspire against each other will be beheaded; Anyone over the age of 16 who is in a relationship with a father or son shall be sentenced to death by hanging, and those who are in a relationship with a mother and daughter, a wife, a concubine, a brother, or a sister under the age of 15 shall be confiscated into the government as slaves, and those who are in a relationship with an uncle or a son shall be exiled for 3,000 miles.

However, the emperor ordered that Li Xilie's entire clan be beheaded, regardless of the old or young.

In order to deter the rebels, it was necessary to use severe punishment.

The emperor said that he would also avenge Li Cheng, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, who was killed by Li Xilie.

At the edge of the West Market, under the single willow tree, the executioners pressed Li Xilie and his family one by one on the anvil, wielding knives and axes, and in the exclamation and howling of the onlookers in Chang'an, they first cut off their hands and waists, then cut off their feet, and finally cut off their heads......

Three days later, the emperor appointed Jia Tan as the ceremonial envoy, Gao Yue and Wei Gao as the ceremonial deputy envoys, and presided over the funeral of the martyred Taiwei Zhu Zhu.

"Is this Li Shi's intention, or does Taiwei Zhu want me to do this?" Gao Yue couldn't cry or laugh, feeling extremely ironic.

But there was no way, he brought Zhu Jun's relic, the wat board, to Fengtian City and handed it over to the emperor, which not only made Zhu Taiwei a loyal martyr and protected his family's wealth, but also automatically eliminated everything in the past between himself and Zhu Zhu.

In the courtyard of Zhu Zhu in Zhaoguofang, Zhu Zhu's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, a small number of henchmen, and domestic slaves, the men are all dressed in white linen coarse clothes, and the women are wearing green silk clothes, crying and jumping, which is called "crying".

Zhu Jun's body was placed in the middle hall of the house according to the rules, and when Gao Yue and Wei Gao entered, they saw that Zhu Jun had only one head left (Guo Forging returned), facing south, on the bed, his eyes and mouth seemed to be slightly open, maintaining the heroic demeanor of desperately hitting the thief with a wat before dying, and the body below the neck was chopped into pieces, which was really impossible to make up, it was empty, and it was covered with a "rejuvenated" death clothes.

Gao Yue wiped his tears and said to Zhu Jun's sons-in-law, "How can you let the Taiwei have only one head left?" After speaking, he asked Zhu Zhai to invite a fierce craftsman to carve a body with agarwood overnight, with hands and feet, and finally took it, and then Gao Yue personally moved over a table (Yan Ji) in accordance with the funeral system, and put Zhu Taiwei's wooden feet on it.

Gao Yue was very angry and reprimanded the fierce craftsmen, so that the craftsmen hurriedly set up a joint, and only then did they successfully put Zhu Taiwei's wooden feet on the dining table.

Then the family stretched Zhu Jun's mouth and teeth with a wooden wedge to facilitate the holding of the funeral utensils.

In this way, Taiwei's eyes were even more angry, and he angrily reprimanded the appearance of the thief, which caused Gao Yue, Wei Gao and Zhu Jun's family to cry again.

After doing all this, Gao Yue and Wei Gao knelt in front of the preserved (preserved meat is jerky, and the sauce made of fish and meat) and the wine vessel, and cried and worshiped Zhu Taiwei, saying that Taiwei used a wat to fight the thief, and the heroic spirit was not far away.

At this time, Zhu Zhu's concubines wiped their tears and picked Gao Yue and Wei Gao with flattering eyes, fortunately, the two etiquette envoys were iron-clad figures, Gao Yue ignored them, and Wei Gao only stuffed the two most beautiful pieces of paper among them, which meant that they would be contacted after the funeral.

In the early morning of the day of the funeral, there was another cry in Zhu Zhu's mansion in Zhaoguofang, Zhu Zhu's head and agarwood body were lifted, a bed was changed, and a pillow was added underneath, and then Zhu Zhu's wives and concubines stepped forward and bathed Zhu Taiwei while crying, but the body was gone, so he only scrubbed his head, and then cut off Zhu Taiwei's sideburns, and his nails did not need to be cut, because his hands could not be found.

went to the wedge that supported his speech, Gao Yue stepped forward, took up his courage, and wiped off the eyes of the captain, but Zhu Jun immediately opened a pair of dead eyes, as if staring at himself.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, you ask for benevolence yourself, and I will protect your family, you also have a praise and loyalty, go with peace of mind, we owe each other the two worlds of yin and yang." Gao Yue muttered, wiped it twice, and Taiwei's eyelids finally closed.

Zhu Zhu is the official title of Tai Lieutenant, the head of the military attaché, so the rice is used when the rice is used and the white bi, and then the coffin out of the house, raising the nine-foot long Ming Jing, on which is very imposing to write "the old Tai Wei purple suit goldfish Suining County Wang Zhu Zhi 柩", and then the white flags are like a forest, carrying the Ming utensils, the lower account, rice, wine, preserved rice, livestock, all kinds of vehicles are mighty, and the scenery is beautiful to the Shaoling Plain near Chanshui.

There, a tall earthen burial chamber has already been excavated for the burial of Zhu Zhu.

Jia Tan, as a righteous envoy, personally led the children of the Northern Ya sent with the permission of the emperor to make the funeral of the Taiwei magnificent.

Then, according to Gao Yue's suggestion, the emperor ordered the craftsmen in the court to cast four iron figures, which were engraved with the words "Dong Qin", "Qiao Lin", "Yuan Xiu" and "Wang Hong", and knelt in front of Zhu Zhu's tomb in a reverse cutting posture to show the loyalty of Zhu Taiwei and the evil of the four evils.

As for King Han and the dozens of princes and grandsons of the Ten Princes' Mansion who died, they were secretly buried in the funeral post of the palace people, how could they compare to the mourning of Taiwei Zhu?
