If the recruitment of the Changying Army on the fourth day represents that the Emperor Taishang has mastered the hearts and minds of the people in the entire Chang'an City, and brings more insults to the nobles than direct harm or threats, then when the time enters the fifth day, the water temperature rises sharply.

Since the announcement of the first day of the announcement, it has been busy, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, which has been silent for three days, posted the notice again:

After verification by the Criminal Department, 183 prisoners will be beheaded at noon tomorrow!

As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately caused an uproar in Chang'an City!

Starting from Taizong Li Shimin, the Tang emperors of all dynasties did everything in order to demonstrate benevolence and reduce punishments.

However, this time, one hundred and eighty-three people, this is probably the largest Ming canonical punishment since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Zhou Li" has a cloud: "Punish people in the city, and abandon them with the public" Under this concept, the canonical punishment in the market has become a tradition of all Chinese dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty is naturally no exception.

The "Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty" stipulated that ordinary civilians and low-ranking officials were to be publicly executed in the market.

Theoretically, Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, the Imperial Hall, and even Zhuque Street also served as execution sites, but these Hu people, who were not even as good as civilians under Tang Law, could obviously only be in the East and West Markets.

The West City has already undergone a round of baptism, so the notice clearly states that the place of execution is the East City.

Except for ordinary people, no one would naively think that Jing Zhaoyin wanted to kill these people in order to simply deter businessmen and maintain the market order of Datang.

All the nobles understand that there are more than 100 Hu people who will be beheaded in Dongshi tomorrow, but they are still the ones who are stabbed on their heads.

However, what frightened them the most was not this steel knife, but Li Yu had been under the framework of Tang Law from the beginning and acted strictly in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

And what is Tang Law, in the eyes of the only two privileged classes of the clan and the noble Tang Dynasty, Tang Law has always been the paper in the toilet!

Li Tang's clan has been smashed into the abyss because of Li Chen's oath in Xingqing Palace, and now it will be them if they are to be cleaned up...

From the time the notice was posted, there was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City, and all the nobles were like crabs that were about to be put into the steamer during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and began to dance their seemingly powerful pincers, and began to struggle desperately in the huge steamer in Chang'an City.

At this time, they were shocked to find that the Shence Army had become the subordinate of the Emperor Taishang, the forbidden army and the Sixteen Guards had existed in name only, and even leaving Chang'an City had become a luxury.

For four days, the Emperor Taishang made continuous moves, none of which pointed to Xungui, but each one was equivalent to putting a shackle on them, and now they have no strength to resist, as if there is no way to kill them except to lead the neck.

Of course, they still have a choice, just like the old Ju Wenzhen, and directly cause chaos.

In Chang'an City, they have more than 10,000 generals, family members, and servants in their hands, which has always been a good strength, but if they really dare to move, there is a high probability that they will enjoy a Datang version of the whole family bucket package plus a free Zhujiu clan service.

Many people have understood that it is difficult to say when the sky of the entire Tang Dynasty will not change, but the sky in Chang'an has already dawned.

After a whole day and a night of undercurrent surging, with dawn, the Changying army, which had only 4,000 people, all went out and entered Chang'an, and began to deploy defenses in the northern city, Taiji Palace, Xingqing Palace, and the outer East City of Chang'an City.

When the day dawned, the citizens of the northern part of Chang'an City were shocked to find that groups of light cavalry or heavy infantry belonging to the Changying Army had begun to patrol the streets.

The nobles knew that the sharpest knife in the Emperor's hand had been revealed, and at this time all unrealistic ideas had disappeared, and the whole family bucket was not so delicious.

For the lively, the Tang people seem to lack resistance from the bones.

Even in the face of the extremely terrible thing of hundreds of people being collectively punished, the citizens of Chang'an began to march to the East City in an endless stream from noon.

Their idea is simple - if it's late, there will be no good position in the back.

Of course, in a place like Dongshi, there must be good locations, but those will cost money.

According to the location of the execution site and the viewing angle of the execution site, these locations have been opened by the store for dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of golden VIP viewing positions.

However, these citizens who came early did not suffer, they saw that with the fermentation of time, the legend became more and more exaggerated that belonged to the magic skill belonging to the Changying Army - conjuring the Eight Bull Crossbow out of thin air!

When the time was approaching noon, the 400 Changying Army sappers, who had been busy all morning, had already set up an execution platform with a length of more than three zhang, a width of two zhang, and a height of one zhang.

In addition, all the citizens of Chang'an who had arrived in Dongshi also saw that with the execution table as the core, a full sixteen eight-bull crossbows that had been erected and equipped with crossbow arrows were already available.

On the periphery, 200 heavy cavalry, 200 crossbowmen, and 600 heavy infantry were fully armed and ready to fight.

At noon, a full 183 criminals were escorted to the scene.

Each prisoner was flanked by a Jing Zhaoyin's official and two heavily armed Changying sergeants.

As the time passed minute by minute, time passed slowly, and the entire East City began to be full of people.

At the top of a three-story restaurant only a few dozen steps away from the execution site, several people who could really decide the fate of Datang were looking not far away.

"Father, have you really decided, it's too late to stop it now!"

"Hehe," Li Yu laughed with a thick sigh, "troubled times need to use heavy codes, otherwise how can I deter the younger generations, how can I show my determination to regain the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Chun'er, Jia Xiang, Du Xiang, Li Xiang, General Fan, Guo Rong once said something to me......"

The attention of several people present was all focused on Li Yu from the outside.

"Guo Rong told me that he feels that Datang is not like a country now, at least not like the powerful Datang that he heard about in the mouths of the veterans of Qiuzi."

"Decades of turmoil, as well as the flight of successive generations of kings, have seriously weakened the prestige of the imperial court, and weakened the influence and deterrence of my Tang Dynasty."

"Guo Rong said that after losing its influence, Datang is like an alliance formed by countless feudal towns, and the imperial court that has mastered the army of hundreds of thousands of gods and gods is just a slightly larger feudal town, relying on the afterglow of the past, Datang can support it for a few more years, but the sunset is going to set after all......"

"I have never told you these words, I thought that before even Chang'an could not control it, I was afraid that it would hit and affect your belief in Datang, but now, I feel that the troubled times are right!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the subordinate officials of Jingzhao Mansion and the officials of the Criminal Department had already arrived at the venue, and Wei Guanzhi, who was the official of today's prison beheading, was headed along the reserved steps

Slowly ascended to the makeshift prison platform.

On the table, there is a long number of cases, on which there is a row of arrows, and on each token, there is a word 'chop'.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Wei Guanzhi walked straight up,

At the same time, twenty burly Mo Dao men, holding Mo knives, were already standing next to the prison beheading platform, and if nothing else, they would play the role of today's executioners.

Quietly kneeling behind a few cases, his eyes were on the token in front of him, not far away was waiting for the beheaded criminal, and Guo Rong, who was wearing heavy armor and leading a team of soldiers to patrol around.

"Bring the prisoner in and prove his identity."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, with Wei Guan's order, twenty prisoners were immediately set up by the Changying sergeant beside him and escorted to the prison where Wei Guanzhi was located.

Jing Zhaoyin and two officials from the Criminal Department began to compare them one by one with the roster in hand, and the comparison was quickly completed.

"There are twenty first offenders, and their identities have been verified, please send Shao Yin down."

Taking a deep breath, Wei Guanzhi reached out and picked up a token, Wei Guanzhi knew that as long as he threw this thing down, he would behead nearly two hundred people at a time, even if these people deserved it, but I am afraid that he would still not be able to wash away the reputation of a butcher in his life.

But so what, vicious diseases need to be used with fierce medicine, and in troubled times, if you want to make the terminally ill Tang Dynasty return to glory, someone must throw down this first arrow.

"Slash!"

Wei Guan's heart was horizontal, and from between his teeth, he squeezed out the word 'chop'.

At the same moment, the Mo knife soldiers, who had been ready for a long time, walked forward with a bright and bright Mo knife in their hands.

Looking at the burly Mo Dao Hand and the amazing sharp weapon in the Mo Dao Hand, many prisoners who had been holding their necks before were paralyzed at the first time.

Wei Guanzhi said a word out, Guo Rong's attention was instantly mentioned to the apex, if Xungui was going to do something, this moment was the best opportunity!

At the same time, everyone was putting their bows and arrows and crossbows on their crossbows, the sappers were turning their winches and began to wind the eight-ox crossbows, and all the remaining cavalry and infantry were also vigilant to the highest level.

Just under the high alert state of Guo Rong and the soldiers of the Changying Army, the Changying Army led the team with a high-pitched shout: "Cut!" ”

The blades of the twenty Mo knives slashed at him, and in an instant, the head fell to the ground.

Blood erupted from the severed neck, staining the ground red.

Beheadings in the East and West Cities were not uncommon for the citizens of Chang'an, and the surrounding crowds around the execution site were buzzing before the surgery.

However, as the Mo knife flew and a full twenty heads rolled on the ground, tens of thousands of Chang'an citizens around seemed to be choked, and all kinds of voices stopped abruptly.

Having overcome the initial psychological barrier and completely stabilizing his mind, Wei Guanzhi stared at the execution ground while continuing to order.

"Again!"

The second group of prisoners was pulled up, and the two officials checked again, and Mo Dao waved his knife, and everything was familiar with the road.

This was followed by the third batch, but this time, while the two officials were inspecting, a bearded man suddenly began to howl wildly.

"Spare my life, I was forced, it was Guo Zhao of the Guo family, Guo Zhao, the general of Zuo Jinwu, who was plotting against him!"
