When An Lushan was put on the shelf, his mind was still very clear, but in order to avoid him yelling, two walnuts were stuffed in his mouth, so he could "ho ho" to make a sound, but he had no way to speak.

The wound on his stomach was bandaged, but when he was erected, the gauze was removed from his stomach.

According to Li Longji's will, he will be like Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was the sky lantern that was lit after his death, and he was alive.

At this time, An Lushan's eyes were full of fear.

When Fang Cai came, Ye Chang had already told him about the execution method for him, and this cruel punishment, before he could reach his body, made An Lushan tremble, first scolded, and then repeatedly begged Ye Chang to give him a good time. Ye Chang rejected him without hesitation, and asked him rhetorically, "When you kill someone, others beg you, have you ever been merciful."

This question made An Lushan speechless, but people like him would never reflect on their sins, so in this situation, he had nothing but fear and resentment in his heart, but he had no repentance.

The gauze on his stomach was removed, and the wound was revealed, because the body of the man was slow to recover in winter, so the wound had not yet been closed, and the executioner used a short dagger to make a cross-shaped wound on his stomach, and then inserted a wick into his belly full of fat.

An Lushan screamed incessantly, but he could only make the fat on his stomach tremble, and he couldn't break free at all.

The wick was quickly lit, An Lushan looked at the little fire on his stomach, and the people watching around let out excited cheers, many of them didn't even dare to kill chickens on weekdays, but at this time, they were all overjoyed to see this cruel situation. It's not because they suddenly became cruel, but it was really gratifying to use such torture to execute An Lushan.

"Woo, lady, have you seen it, the thief also has today!"

"Lang Jun, your blood feud, the court has avenged you, Ye Gong has reported it to you, An Lu thief, this dog thief, will definitely go to hell!"

The cheers of the people were mixed with the cries of joy and tears, all of whom had loved ones who had lost their lives in the chaos that had preceded them.

Zhou Xiangren couldn't help but cry when he heard these mournful and weeping. Fleeing from Chang'an to Yongxian, as one of the few eunuchs who followed Li Longji, he suffered a lot of crimes, and his family left in Chang'an City is now completely gone.

"The saint and the saint Ming, the public execution of An's rebellion not only let the people vent their anger, but also deter those rebels who have bad intentions...... After this incident, the people's confidence in the government and the court will be restored. Zhou Xiangren thought to himself.

He noticed that among the people's discussions, although most of them still praised Ye Chang, there were also many who praised Li Longji for his good use of people. Ordinary people don't know much about the contradictions at the top, they only know that Ye Chang came from a humble background, and Li Longji simply rose up, and in just more than ten years, he reached today's high position, almost a very popular minister. As for Li Longji's misuse of Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, although the people also have critics, but one beauty covers up a hundred ugliness, and most people attribute it to traitors and deceiving the Son of Heaven, or the ambition of villains and wolves, not to mention that Li Longji used people improperly.

Li Longji has been the Son of Heaven for decades, has accumulated prestige for a long time, and his prestige is self-exalted, so the people's support has not been lost.

It was only when Li Heng was mentioned that the people showed complete contempt and spurt. The people in Chang'an City were harmed by the An'an and Shi Bing disasters, and they generally believed that it was Li Heng who lured the wolf into the house to cause this chaos.

"When the saint is there, the people's will will not change, but if the saint goes, ......" Zhou Xiangren still has some knowledge, and when he realized this, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart.

But immediately, he put this worry aside: "Although the saint is tall in the spring and autumn and is still in good health, now I am on the order of the saint to inspect the hearts of the people, as long as the hearts of the people are still towards the saints, then why worry?" As for what will happen to the saint a hundred years later...... Take one step at a time, why should I bother with this idle matter, instead of taking care of this idle matter, it is better to spend some energy and marry a good Ye Gong! ”

When he thought of this, Zhou Xiangren was shocked in his heart, in fact, it was not just the people, but also the internal supervisor like him, after this turmoil, he also had some different expectations for Ye Chang in his heart!

He was both surprised and helpless in his heart, the so-called high mountains look up, Ye Changgong is high in the world, and it is normal for the people to have such expectations. I only hope that Ye Chang will not be like An Lushan, with inflated ambitions and eagerness to achieve things, but he will ruin his reputation.

When he was pondering, he suddenly heard a violent noise, he raised his head, but it was the special wick that burned An Lushan's abdomen, and the fat on his stomach was burned, and the whole person howled in pain. But the more miserable his howl became, the louder the cheers of the onlookers became, and some people even went to the soldiers who maintained order and asked if they could cut a piece of An Lushan's meat for them to eat.

Inspired by it, some people set up a charcoal stove outside the stadium, roasted fat sausages, called "An Meat", the result was very popular, I became rich, and "An Meat" has also become a flavor snack in Chang'an, passed on to future generations. This is a later story, so I won't mention it.

Zhou Xiangren looked around and found that in addition to the people, there were also many officials at the scene. The position of these officials is a little farther away, and I don't know what kind of expression they have now, Zhou Xiangren can only tell from the body shape that many of these officials are people who have taken refuge in An Lushan.

"Teach these unfaithful people a lesson!" Although he couldn't see their expressions, Zhou Xiangren still felt a burst of happiness, thinking about it, these officials who were thieves when An Lushan was strong must be panicked in their hearts now, and they don't know what fate they will be. Zhou Xiangren knew something about this, and Li Longji hated An Lushan and Li Heng to the core, and he also gritted his teeth at these officials.

In Li Longji's view, these officials have received his favor, not to say that they should not rise up to resist, at least they should not cooperate with An Lushan and others. But it's a pity that they only hesitated a little at the beginning, and then accepted the pseudo-position appointed by Li Heng and An Lushan, if it weren't for them, these two rebellions would not be so easy to integrate the manpower and material resources of Chang'an City, and they chased Li Longji closely, almost forcing Li Longji into a desperate situation.

Therefore, even if these people do not die, they have to shed their skin. Li Longji had already discussed with Wei Jiansu and others more than once whether to exile them to Yunnan or get them to Anxi. As for Liaodong, it is not Li Longji's scope of consideration - in recent years, the situation in Liaodong has also been transmitted back to Chang'an, and the officials and people of Chang'an know that Liaodong is no longer a bitter cold place of the former Sui or Taizong Emperors, but has become a land of rich fish and rice. Exile there is simply not a punishment, but a reward.

It is said that the ship of the great merchant Wang Yuanbao discovered a new world in the overseas tens of thousands of miles away, and put these people in that new world world, which not only reflects the emperor's benevolence, but also does not have to worry that they will threaten the Central Plains in the future.

"If Ye Gong knows what the court is arguing about now, I don't know how it will be, in my opinion, he will not approve of it, these thieves and their families, in the eyes of Ye Gong, are all valuable labor......

Zhou Xiangren thought as he continued to look around the court, trying to find Ye Chang's figure.

Ye Chang himself did not appear at the scene of the execution, and he had no opinion on An Lushan's cruel punishment, but he was not interested in watching this kind of execution.

Also uninterested is Wang Jin.

"After a few days of discernment, it has been basically figured out who is the thief." In Ye Chang's temporary apartment, staring at a pair of red eyes, Wang Jin presented a list: "Please Ye Gong!" ”

Ye Chang took the list and saw that the top name was Chen Xilie, the second name was Ji Wen, then Zhang Jun and Zhang Yan, and then three or four of the ten people were those who had been in trouble with him at the beginning. In other words, many of the people in this list are Ye Chang's enemies.

Ye Chang nodded slowly, he was very satisfied with this list.

He is definitely not a selfless person, and since these people have fallen into his hands, of course they will not be pleased.

"This list, you put it away first, after Your Majesty comes down to Beijing, you will inevitably ask about this matter, and then you will hand it over. The evidence must be sufficient, do not leave a wicked person, and do not wronged a good person. Ye Chang said.

"Yes!" Wang Jin responded.

"What, what do you have to say?" Ye Chang saw that although he responded simply, his expression seemed to be a little strange, so he asked.

"In order to distinguish who is a true thief and who is a false snake, I have met many people. There were a few lowly positions to intercede with Ye Gong...... At least ask Ye Gong to interrogate them in person. Wang Jin said.

"Who?"

"Ji Wen, and Zhang Jun." Wang Jin was a little slurred.

"Jiwen, he still has the face to see me? As for Zhang Jun...... His father is a famous minister of Kaiyuan, although he is only a famous minister who pits people and harms people, but the court and the Son of Heaven treat his brother very well, they collude with the rebels, and the evidence is ironclad, why does he want to see me? ”

"I don't know what to do with this humble position." Wang Jin said in a low voice: "He refused to say." ”

Ye Chang thought about it, Wang Jin and Zhang Jun did not have any friendship, but his brother Wang Wei and Zhang Jun had been colleagues for many years. But now he is busy with the reconstruction of Chang'an, too lazy to pay attention to these personal friendships, and then shook his head and said: "I'm too busy to chat with them, if he has something, it's the same for you to convey it." ”

Sent Wang Jin away, when Ye Chang was about to see the next person, he heard the noise outside, Ye Chang asked Li Yuan to go out of the city to inquire, and after a while, Li Yuan came back and reported: "It's the stadium side, I heard that the thief died." ”

"So fast? His fat body should be able to order for a few days. Ye Chang didn't regard An Lushan's death as a big deal, it was very plain and authentic.

He didn't take it as a big deal, but the people regarded it as a big thing, and after confirming that An Lushan was dead, the people still refused to leave, watching An Lushan's body be burned by the wick for most of it, and then gradually some people dispersed. After leaving the stadium, everyone was still unsatisfied, and they didn't know who shouted in the crowd: "An thief, the revenge of my generation, if it weren't for Ye Gong, this revenge would be difficult to revenge." Now that the culprit has been punished, Engong has not thanked him, why not go and thank Ye Gong? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone should say in unison, Ye Chang's residence has been moved not far from Xishi, although his old mansion is destroyed, it is not a troublesome thing to reset a courtyard here. In a short time, thousands of people arrived outside his house, and more and more people gathered, and after half an hour, the number exceeded 10,000.

So many people gathered outside Ye Chang's house, surrounding the streets and alleys, and the guards didn't care at first, because they all knew that many people went to see An Lushan to be tortured today. But later, the guards also panicked and hurriedly came to report to Ye Chang.

"The people want to come and thank me?" When Ye Chang heard the news, he was overjoyed at first, but then frowned: "Bian Ping, let him come to see me!" ”

Bian Ping came to Ye Chang's side sweating profusely after a while.

Ye Chang stared at him, seeing that he was uncomfortable, and after a while, Ye Chang asked, "With so many people gathered outside, is it your means?" ”

Bian Ping's eyes flickered: "This, it should be the people......"

"Say it again." Ye Chang said expressionlessly.

Bian Ping's body trembled, and finally admitted: "It was the villain who let him drive the ......"

"I don't care what you're going to do, you stop me." Ye Chang glared at him, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

He trusted Bian Ping very much, so he entrusted him with such an important matter as intelligence investigation, and Bian Ping's loyalty to him naturally went without saying, it had been tested several times. However, Ye Chang hopes that the intelligence investigation is only his auxiliary assistance, and cannot be turned into a tool for spies to govern the country.

Especially in this operation, Bian Ping's intention Ye Chang was very clear, to win the hearts of the people as much as possible for him, so as to form pressure on Li Longji and offset Li Longji's advantage as emperor. Ye Chang didn't have any opinion on this, what he had was that the intelligence investigation agency dared to make such a big choice without going through him.

"Ye Gong's merit is far better than Shun Yu, what the people want, what the people want, what the people refer to, it is not a humble job that can be manipulated, this God-given opportunity, why did Ye Gong abandon it?" Bian Ping was also a little anxious, he acted without permission this time, isn't it for the sake of glory and wealth, he also knows that his actions are a bit taboo, if he can't convince Ye Chang, he is afraid that the power in his hands will be lost.

Ye Chang sighed and shook his head.

Bian Ping is loyal and has means, but limited by his background, his vision is still too narrow, and his vision is not long enough.

"Bian Ping, I'll finish today's matter for you, but I don't want there to be a next time." He looked into Bian Ping's eyes: "I know what you want, but you have done it, how to make a decision, you can make suggestions to me, but you must not make decisions for me!" ”

When Bian Ping heard the first sentence, his face relaxed slightly, but when he heard the second sentence, he realized that what he did was not just a bit taboo, but touched Ye Chang's bottom line!

"This is not my intention, the princes of Liaodong, including Luo Jiuhe, all mean this!" Bian Ping couldn't help but shout: "Ye Gong, everyone is following you, and the picture is to be rich and prosperous for generations, not to be hidden by the birds with you!" ”

Ye Chang didn't know where to go, relying only on Bian Ping, he didn't have so much courage, but if he added the group of cronies and descendants in Liaodong, it was different. When those people in Liaodong were prosperous in the Central Plains, they could still lie in wait, and at this time, seeing the turmoil in the Central Plains, they were completely relying on Ye Chang's single-handedness to turn the tide, how could their hearts not be active!
