The gate slowly opened, and the group in the distance came neatly under the gate.

The main force of the entire army is 1,500 heavily armed knights, led by the general Zhao Chongguo, who has a white beard.

Compared with when he went on the expedition, the wrinkles on Zhao Chongguo's face seemed to be deeper, but he was still in good spirits, riding on a white horse, and he had a momentum.

The knights pressed down at both ends of the ranks, and in the middle were the captains, marquis, generals, and staff members of the two rebel armies of Fan Tian—about two hundred people.

Tao Anran and the soldiers at the head of the city were very curious about these rebel captives, and they stretched out their heads from the city wall and looked down for the rebel captives who were caught in the ranks.

Regardless of their rank, all of them had been stripped of their armor and weapons, their hands and feet were firmly tied, and many of them were still wearing colors, sitting listlessly on their horses.

At this moment, the sky was not fully bright, so the expressions of the rebel captives were even more obvious.

How majestic they were when they set out a few months ago, how depressed and embarrassed they are now.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, and that is Huo Yu - he is treated slightly better than others, and he is not tied hand and foot.

"This is the end of rebellion, and you really deserve it!" The young Pavilion Soldier said.

"I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life this time, but it's a pity that I was in the prime of life, and I had a great future, which is a pity...... "Shi Changjia, who is in his forties, sighed.

"Why can't I save my life, I heard a friend of mine in Tingwei say that these people's relatives are Guan, and they are killed, what a tragic word!" Ting Pawn B continued.

"It's the best, it's all things that dogs don't like, and I've been scared for a long time." Pavilion Pawn Jia scolded fiercely, and spat on the city crisply.

"You can't live if you do your own evil, the general can protect his sons, will he protect them?" Ting Shou Yi said with some compassion.

"Shut up! Do you still dare to call the general, do you think the meat bun is not easy to swallow, or do you think that the wine is not good to drink? Tao Anran suddenly scolded violently.

In the blurred sky, the pair of bright eyes on the head of the city looked at Tao Anran in unison.

The pavilion soldier who said the wrong thing closed his mouth tightly, and covered it with his hands, as if he was afraid that he would say something rebellious.

Tao Anran frowned, and carefully looked at the people and horses who were silently entering the city and Yu Linlang, who was like a great enemy, and didn't notice them, so he waved his hand.

He looked at these robed brothers who got along day and night, and felt that it was necessary to remind them a few words, so that they should not have anything to do with the Huo Party.

"Have you read all yesterday's "Chang'an Monthly"?" Tao Anran asked in a low voice.

The surrounding pavilion guards shook their heads blankly, none of them were very literate, and of course they couldn't read the "Chang'an Monthly".

On weekdays, I only go to the restaurant and wine shop to listen to other people's "newspapers" after I have time on a business trip—I have to pay ten yuan for listening to the newspaper once.

"All the memoirs on it are criticizing Huo, criticizing him for abusing power, criticizing him for disrespecting the Son of Heaven, criticizing him for having an affair with the Huns, and criticizing him for having an adulterous ...... with Huo."

"There is also a fresh word mentioned in the note, called Huo Dang!"

"Huo Dang?" The pavilion guards have already heard it at this moment, these soldiers are far away from the court, and they are not familiar with the words that are already familiar to the hundred officials and ministers.

"What is the Huo Party?" Tingpai Jia asked impatiently.

Tao Anran didn't read much, but his father also served as a high-ranking official, so he read "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn" for a few years.

Although I can't read it thoroughly, it's enough to show off in front of these illiterate pavilion guards.

"Zi said: The gentleman group is not the party, and the villain party is not the group!"

"It is said that a gentleman is gregarious and does not form a party with others, and villains form a party with others for personal gain and do not fit in."

"So this party is naturally not a good thing!" Tao Anran saw that the pavilion guards were still puzzled, and simply said more bluntly, "To form a party is to rebel!" ”

"I see!" It finally dawned on the guards that forming a party was not a good word.

"This Huo Party is naturally Huo Guang's henchmen, the newspaper said that Huo Guang has been in charge of the government for many years, and there are countless henchmen of the party, so all the Huo Party must be dug out, and no one will be left!"

Speaking of the last four words, Tao Anran stretched out his palm and made a head-cutting motion.

The pavilion guards who were chattering non-stop just now suddenly felt cold on the back of their necks, and they couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

"How many Huo Dang there are in the world, the county officials probably don't know, and it's not those princes and envoys in Chang'an City who have the final say......

"I've heard that even the vendor who delivers vegetables to Fan Minhyou's back house has been beaten into a Huo party!"

"If you don't speak carefully, maybe one day you will become the Huo Party, and when the time comes, the head of the family will be able to go to this city gate to reunite."

After Tao Anran said this, the pavilion guards were even more frightened.

More than ten days ago, more than a dozen heads were sent to each city gate - all of them belonged to the Huo Party, and they are still hanging on the city gates.

Thinking of the heads of those who had begun to rot and grow maggots, and then thinking of the Ren Palace, whose flesh and blood had been looted by the people, the pavilion guards felt even more afraid.

"That's it, there's no one here, be careful when you talk in the future, so as not to lose your head!" Tao Anran said half frightened and half comforted.

"Yui!" The pavilion guards responded cautiously, did not dare to say more, and went on patrol respectively.

At this time, the more than 1,000 people had already entered the city, and under the escort of Yu Linlang, they continued to quietly rush towards the south of Chang'an City.

Looking at the people and horses that were gradually moving away, Tao Anran shuddered, and hurriedly tightened his robe and robe, and hid back under the eaves of the city tower.

……

At the time of Chen, in the greenhouse hall, Liu He walked into the greenhouse hall from the Jiaofang Hall early.

Although it is the depths of winter, the sun has already risen at this hour.

Today, however, there is something unusual, and the dark clouds in the sky are very thick, as if there has been no dawn.

Liu He came to the door of the greenhouse hall, but he didn't walk in, but stood under the eaves with his back hand, looking at the dark clouds rolling in the distance.

It seems that I'm afraid it's going to snow again, I don't know how long this snow will fall, and whether it will continue to fall until after the New Year.

In the past few days, Liu He will stay overnight in the Jiaofang Hall every day.

He did not hide from Huo Chengjun what had happened in the past ten days, but told Huo Chengjun all the details as he was.

Of course, it naturally also includes the extermination of the Fan family.

Fan Minh You is a total of three brothers, and his two younger brothers are also officials in Chang'an, and the entire family has a total of three or four hundred people, all of whom were beheaded.

When Liu He told Huo Chengjun about this, Huo Chengjun did not shed a single tear, but Liu He could still see a little sadness in her eyes.

Huo Chengjun didn't react too violently, but just asked Liu He to send someone to replace his sister in the future, so that he could sacrifice in the future.

The clan exterminated only adults over the age of fourteen, and the twins were only twelve years old and escaped the catastrophe.

Adoption in the palace is naturally inappropriate, and Huo Chengjun hopes that Liu He can save them from palace punishment.

Liu He agreed to this request.

Since he chose to live another life with the Son of Heaven, Huo Chengjun could only accept such a fate.

Recognize right and wrong, put aside emotion, and many things will be over.

Fortunately, Huo Xian was mean and indifferent, and married Huo Chengjun's sisters early, so Huo Chengjun's relationship with them was not close, so he was not so sad.

It's just that the death of a loved one is always inevitably heartbroken - Liu He naturally wants this matter to end as soon as possible.

When Liu He came to his senses, several courtiers he wanted to summon walked into the courtyard in front of the Xuanshu Palace.

When they saw the Son of Heaven standing under the eaves, they thought they were waiting for themselves, so they hurriedly trotted all the way over in fear to salute.

"The ministers ask the Son of Heaven to be safe, and ask the Son of Heaven to forgive the ministers for the crime of being late!"

"You're not late, it's me who arrived first, so get even."

"No!" A few people stood up.

Liu He saw Zhang Anshi standing in the middle, his face was tired, and he seemed to be many years old.

Originally forty-seven or eighteen years old, his eyes are now red and swollen, and he looks like he is in his early fifties.

"Zhang Qing, why do you look so haggard?" Liu He asked.

Zhang Anshi was a little panicked, he hesitated for a moment before he immediately bowed down and said: "Weichen is guilty, Weichen deserves to die!" ”
