Chapter 467: Beheading for public display
On the second day of Cheng Caixi's trespass in the Criminal Department, as soon as the sky was bright, a piece of paper was posted.
Since the rebellion from the east, the people have not seen the posting of the emperor's list for a long time. The involvement of rebellion is too wide, and many people will be killed when they are killed, and there is no need to tell the world at all. See you on the list at this time, and those who get up early say that something good has happened, who knows that when you look at it, everything will change color.
Zhenxi Hou Tang An and Cheng Caixi, the female duchess of Feitianmen, ignored the laws of the Tang Dynasty as nothing, openly challenged the imperial power, and were beheaded in front of Anding Gate three days later!
This news was like a hurricane, and it swept the entire capital in just half a day, and became everyone's after-dinner conversation.
Although the emperor did not specifically say what Tang An had committed, how could it be a trivial matter to make the emperor so angry, and he had to cut off his head to calm his emotions?
No one expected that this Tang Lord, who had always been a deep saint, would be so bold. And it is really embarrassing that he just ended up like this after sealing the Hou Ye.
He rises like a fad and falls like a meteor.
Most of the people sympathize with the community, after all, Tang An is a grassroots who rose from the bottom and has created countless legends. Not to mention, Genting Mall alone has benefited countless people. Coupled with the stories of the academy's theory, double peerless art, Lushan Poetry Club and so on, the people always regard him as an idol. Hearing the news of his imminent death, many people were secretly saddened.
Of course, there are still many people who are jealous of Tang An's talent and learning, and they can't get used to seeing a subordinate who can be so lucky, and he has become a Zhenxi Hou who everyone wants to worship. If it weren't for the fact that most people were crying out for him, these people would probably have to put up lights to celebrate.
The market was already so lively, and the court was calm and a little terrifying, as if it was Tang An, Wang An, and Li An, it had nothing to do with these ministers.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this calmness is only superficial.
These ministers who have become frightened birds are very aware of the current situation, Tang An has just been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he is also the commander of the Yulin Guard, the Praetorian Guard, and the remnants of the Western Regions, how can he be beheaded?
They thought that the emperor was just angry for a while, and he would finally let Tang An go, after all, in a special period, one more person means more strength, and Tang An's identity is so special, what should I do if the team that has just been formed is disheartened when he dies?
But to everyone's expectations, the emperor had no intention of releasing his mouth at all.
For two days in a row, except for the early dynasty, he always locked himself in the imperial study. People from all walks of life in the room came in and out, but they were all from the military department. Among the officials, there are many people who are close to Tang An, and they want to intercede for Tang An, but they are all closed.
This repression lasted for three days, and the officials waited from morning to evening, never seeing the emperor's pardon. Only then did they determine one thing: the emperor was really going to cut Tang An!
Yanning Palace.
Qin Tian, who was at the heart of the storm, had already changed into a pair of pajamas, and with the thick night, he was holding a scroll in the dormitory with the fire burning. But those godless eyes revealed that his mind was not at all in the words in his hand.
Zhang Dayou on the side has been standing for more than an hour, and the master who always likes to talk to him suddenly changed his temper tonight, and he has not said a word since he entered the house.
Zhang Dayou wanted to speak, but the lord didn't say anything, as the emperor's personal eunuch, he should know better than anyone else, so he didn't dare to say it.
Of course he knows what day tomorrow is, if nothing else, Tang An and Cheng Caixi will be beheaded early tomorrow morning. He wanted to speak, and a pair of eyes looking left and right were already the best portrayal of his anxious mood.
Qin Tian, who was still looking at the scroll, seemed to be looking at the six roads, and said lightly: "Zhang Dayou, you seem to have something on your mind tonight." ”
Zhang Dayou was full of cleverness, and suddenly bowed down and smiled: "The idea of a slave always can't escape the emperor's eyes. ”
"Smack!"
Qin Tian closed the scroll, glanced at him meaningfully, and asked, "Do you want to intercede for Tang An?" ”
Zhang Dayou's heart sank, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave will never dare to disobey the emperor's will." The emperor wants to kill Tang An, so naturally there is a reason for the emperor. ”
"Hmm." Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Trespassing on the Criminal Department and robbing the Heavenly Prison privately, which one is not a major crime of beheading?" It seems that the rights I gave him came too quickly, so fast that he didn't know how to cherish them, and he didn't know how to give me full respect. ”
"This..."
Qin Tian glanced at him and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”
Zhang Dayou said cautiously: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave only has a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Qin Tian frowned a little displeased: "Even you have learned to play tricks on me?" ”
"The emperor is angry! Slaves are bold, and they don't dare to be clever in front of the emperor. Zhang Dayou hurriedly slammed his head on the ground and said in fear.
Qin Tian didn't seem to be too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and said coldly: "Say whatever you want, and I will forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Zhang Dayou was overjoyed, the emperor knew what he was going to say, but he was willing to listen patiently, it seems that there is a door!
After brewing some rhetoric, Zhang Dayou said cautiously: "The slave thinks... Lord Tang was born in a family, and he knew very little about many rules of the imperial court, and he was suddenly promoted to a high position by the emperor, which was understandable for being a little vulgar. But no matter how unruly it is, it should never do such a ridiculous thing as colluding with the eldest lady of the Cheng family to rob the prison......"
Zhang Dayou said, looking up at Qin Tian's reaction. Seeing that he turned his back, there was no excuse, so he could only stubbornly continue: "But... If you look at it from another angle, Miss Cheng doesn't know the reason why the emperor imprisoned the master, and it makes sense to save her father. The slave thinks that now that the situation is changing color directly, why doesn't the emperor let Lord Tang make meritorious service and atone for his ignorant actions on the battlefield? ”
Qin Tian turned around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Atonement? Of course he wants to atone for his sins. But I can't wait for him to go to war, I want him to atone for his sins tomorrow! ”
Zhang Dayou looked confused, what does "atonement tomorrow" mean? Your Majesty, what the hell is this... To kill or not to kill?
Seeing that his face was full of confusion, Qin Tian smiled proudly and said, "You think he broke into the Punishment Department, and I am very angry, right?" ”
Zhang Dayou was stunned: "This... The emperor must be very angry..."
"Even you think so, but what about the others?" Qin Tian smiled even more proudly, like a child who got his favorite toy. "Surely they would have thought so, too. They were all waiting for my forgiveness, but I would not forgive his sins. Those self-righteous things, thinking that if they forced me to hand over the judge and the Sixth Emperor Uncle, they would be unknown when they traveled far away from the East, and they would be able to sit back and relax? It's ridiculous! I just want to take the opportunity of cutting Tang Anliwei to fight with these self-righteous fools! ”
Zhang Dayou was even more confused, Lord Tang robbed the prison and the courtiers instigated the people to force the court to hand over the six princes and the master of the Flying Heavenly Gate... These are two different things at all, how could the emperor confuse this?
Qin Tian had no intention of explaining, so he returned to the desk and picked up a brush and wrote a few words, sent the paper to Zhang Dayou's hand, and said, "Call these people to come to see me." ”
Zhang Dayou looked at the roster in his hand with some astonishment, and said suspiciously: "Now? ”
"Now!"
Qin Tian nodded, his face full of a smile that had succeeded in his conspiracy.
(In other words, the new January, the new year, do you have a little bit of a voice?) Cheer up the monthly pass red ticket review, just come to it?? )
