The triumphant army turned into a long stream. After half an hour, they finally revealed their tail.
At the back of the troop were rows of prison carriages, on which were more than ten important officers of Dong Zhuojun who had been captured.
Only Xu Rong, Duan Wei, and a few others were spared due to their outstanding abilities and desirable standpoints.
As for the other traitors who dared to defy their superiors, Liu Bian's way of dealing with them was very simple.
Kill!
Moreover, it was not just killing him on the spot.
The reason why he brought these people back to the Imperial City to deal with them was to publicly execute them.
On one hand, he could kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and let those who were thinking of having a second child see the consequences of causing trouble.
On the other hand, it could also further re-establish the emperor's authority.
On both sides of the street, the people looked at the rebel soldiers with hostility and contempt.
"The rebel army is really stupid. This is the result of daring to blaspheme the imperial power!”
Many people had such thoughts.
Of course, the scene of throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetables at prisoners in movies and TV dramas did not happen.
Firstly, the rules did not allow it.
Secondly, eggs were very expensive. Even if they were rotten eggs, very few people would casually throw them away.
In the middle of the streets of the Imperial City.
To the surprise of the citizens of the Imperial Capital, the Emperor did not return to the Imperial Palace or go anywhere else. Instead, he came to a square outside the city.
On the square, a high platform had been erected. This was personally supervised by a master craftsman after receiving the Emperor's instructions.
This was where the rebel leaders died.
Not long after, a group of soldiers escorted the prisoner carts to the square and carried the prisoners to the high platform one by one.
Liu Bian and a group of high-ranking officials came to the viewing platform and looked down at every move on the stage.
At the same time, the figures of the people who had come to watch also appeared in their sights.
Beside the little Emperor, Xu Rong and Duan Wei, the two representatives of the surrendered generals, stood respectfully at the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Looking at their former colleagues being tied up and about to die in an extremely humiliating manner under the gazes of thousands of people, they felt very complicated.
There was awkwardness, fear, and reluctance.
However, he felt even more fortunate.
Fortunately, he wasn't stubborn back then, and his attitude towards admitting his guilt was relatively good. In addition, he had some beautiful battle records as his resume capital.
Otherwise, he would probably suffer the same fate as everyone on the stage!
"Let's begin."
The Emperor's voice rang out.
Gai Xun immediately nodded.
According to the procedure of the Han Dynasty, the case should be handed over to the judicial organization led by the Tingwei for trial, and then handed over to the "three sitting officers", namely, the Si Li Colonel, the Yu Shi Zhongcheng, and the Shang Shu Ling, for supervision and review before making a ruling.
In addition, it was best to execute him at three quarters in the afternoon the next day when the yang qi was the strongest.
However, extraordinary times were not dealt with easily. Moreover, it was now the time to establish His Majesty's authority. The effect of direct execution was definitely better.
In any case, things like rules had long been broken by the previous ruling class.
On the execution ground, Li Ru was shivering.
"I regret it!"
He felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.
As for the regret of following Dong Zhuo.
Or did he regret running into the imperial army that had already returned?
Li Ru couldn't explain himself.
"Slash!"
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded from the high platform.
Immediately after, a row of burly executioners took their positions.
Li Ru felt that the burly man behind him seemed to be especially strong, and the cold light on his saber seemed to be especially sharp.
At the last moment before his head was pressed against the chopping board, he caught a glimpse of Xu Rong and Duan Wei on the high platform.
How preposterous!
Why is the emperor willing to accept these two people, but not me!
Li Ru's fearful eyes were filled with confusion.
When he was captured, he was confident that with his extraordinary talent and eloquence, he could definitely make the Emperor think that this person might be useful to him.
However, what was surprising was that Little Huang only glanced at it indifferently before waving her hand impatiently, revealing a disgusted expression as if she was looking at filth.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck!
The view in front of him was instantly flipped upside down.
At the last moment before Li Ru lost consciousness, he caught a glimpse of a young man on the platform who was surrounded by stars.
The young man seemed to be looking at him, his eyes still looking at filth.
On the viewing platform.
Liu Bian looked at Li Ru's head rolling on the ground and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
In the original history, he was poisoned to death by this guy.
Therefore, no matter how talented Li Ru was, no matter how much he wanted to surrender, he still couldn't escape death.
At the same time, Liu Bian also noticed that on the execution ground, only a few of Dong Zhuo's generals who were usually fearless showed their unyielding demeanor.
Most of them were either shivering or were so scared that they couldn't speak.
"Perhaps this is the power of power."”
Power was a wonderful thing.
As long as they were used properly, they could make the fearless become as timid as mice and make the loyal lose their integrity.
At this moment, he had tasted the delicious taste of power, and he was even more determined to rebuild the imperial power.
