The next morning!
"Hey, gentleman, why do you want to go to the army? It's very dangerous if you go to war!”
The old servant Qian Gui was extremely worried after knowing that Tian Qiong was preparing to follow the army to quell the rebellion.
"With your intelligence and wisdom, you are now a Langguan. In just one or two years, His Majesty will definitely appoint you to an official position. Why do you have to join the army?”
Tian Xiong, who was putting on his armor, smiled.
Indeed, if he hadn't transmigrated, according to history, Tian Meng would have been promoted from Langguan to the important position of a doctor in Taizhong by Emperor Jing of Han.
Although it was a little slow, it was safe.
Moreover, it wouldn't be long before his nephew Liu Zhi also began to sit on the throne. His status would be higher and more stable.
However, in this life, Tian Qiong didn't want to spend a long time accumulating experience and promotion.
Especially when he knew that the opportunity to make a contribution was right in front of him, how could he not take the risk?
"Uncle Qian, don't worry too much. Just wait for your gentleman to return with meritorious service!”
After Tian Meng finished dressing up, he smiled at Qian Gui.
Qian Gui sighed. In the past, even though a gentleman was also passionate about fame, he had never considered entering the dangerous ranks to make contributions.
He did not expect that a gentleman would actually want to make contributions in the military. One had to know that military officers were not comparable to civil officials. Only those with true ability could stand out!
Tian Kui didn't stay for long. He led his horse from the stable and left.
Tian Kui rode his horse toward the city gate. The imperial army was gathering 20 miles away from Chang 'an. He would officially report to the imperial court today.
Ta…
Just as he reached the eastern market, he saw many people on the streets gathering in one direction.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look!"
"I heard that someone is about to be executed!"
"Ah, who is this? What did you do?"
"I heard that it's a minister of the court. Let's go and take a look!”
……
The crowd on the street began to discuss.
Tian Meng frowned slightly as he listened. He stared at the crowded place and saw that there were torture instruments there. A huge axe was hanging there, emitting a cold light.
Under the axe, an old official with a white beard and hair was tied up.
Looking at this scene, Tian Meng could already guess who was being tortured.
As expected!
As they got closer to the crowd, the discussions in the crowd became louder and louder.
"Heavens, it's the Imperial Censor Chao Cuo!”
"It's him. I heard that he is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. Why…"
"Hey, have you forgotten? I heard that the reason why the seven kingdoms launched a rebellion was because this person bewitched the emperor to cut off his vassal state.”
"That's right, I've also heard that the seven princes rebelled under the slogan of 'purge the side of the monarch and kill Chao Cuo'!”
"This…the Imperial Court is really going to kill him!”
"Well done, it's all his fault for bringing chaos to the world!”
"Hmph, ignorant! Those princes were becoming more and more powerful and did not put the imperial court in their eyes at all. If they did not cut off their vassals, those princes would rebel sooner or later. Duke Chao was a loyal minister of the country, but he did not expect that he would be cut in half now. How sad!”
"I hope that after he dies, the princes will stop fighting and not cause chaos in the world!”
"Ai, what crime does Doctor Chao have? The Imperial Court should not kill such a loyal official!”
……
Hearing the various discussions in the crowd, Tian Kong's expression was calm.
The people of all levels saw and heard different things, and they had different opinions about this execution.
However, no matter what everyone thought!
After Lieutenant Chen Jia, who was in charge of the crime, hastily read out a list of crimes, he ordered the execution.
As the onlookers cried out in alarm, the axe fell and cut Chao Cuo in half!
The scene was too tragic. Tian Meng shook his head as he watched!
Chao Cuo!
Without a doubt, he was a loyal minister of the country and a person who planned for the future!
Unfortunately, he was cut in half on the way to court. How sad!
Although he knew that Chao Cuo would face such a situation, there was nothing he could do. He was only a small deputy general, and he could not influence Emperor Jing's decisions.
Furthermore, this result involved too many aspects!
Chao Cuo was a Legalist. He was strict, upright, and harsh. When he was wholeheartedly planning for the country, he did not care about his own safety. Because of this, he had offended many officials and had a bad relationship with many of them.
Now that he was cut in half, these ministers had to advise and pressure Emperor Jing of Han.
And the current situation, those who had already rebelled had used Chao Cuo as an excuse to rebel, in order to stop the population of the world and shut the mouths of the princes. Should they be killed?
There were also those vassal kings who were watching from the sidelines. They also influenced Emperor Jing's decision.
He couldn't help but consider if he didn't kill Chao Cuo, would those dukes also join the rebel army?
Even his mother, Empress Dowager Dou of Changle Palace, also hoped to kill Chao Cuo to make the vassals retreat. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the Empress Dowager's opinion still had a great influence on Emperor Jing of Han.
There were also other factors.
Tian Qiong shook his head.
As the emperor, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had finally issued such an order. He might not have done anything wrong, but it was still a little disappointing!
Most of the emperors of the Liu family were heartless. Although he was a relative of the royal family and had a close relationship with the royal family, he had to be careful in the future and leave a path for himself!
However, before his strength grew and he had a huge influence on the imperial power, there was no need to worry too much.
Without further thought, Tian Meng bowed deeply towards the place where he was cut in half and rode out of the city.
Ta…
Tian Qiong rode his horse out of the east gate of Chang 'an City and galloped all the way!
In less than an hour, they saw a huge camp that was connected to a large number of tents.
This was the temporary base of the Han Dynasty army!
From afar, one could see that there were many soldiers and horses coming and going in the camp. It was very busy.
Although the Han Dynasty was looking forward to the withdrawal of the princes, the rebel army of the seven countries was aggressive, and the court was actively preparing for war.
With the approval given by the palace, Tian Qiong entered the army camp without any obstructions.
