Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 123 The Curse of the Witch Gu ([-])

Inside Chang'an City
Royal Mansion
"These people are killing crazy."

Seeing those Chang'an people outside the mansion fighting with the prince, Wang Changjiong felt terrible.

"Let the servants and maids close the door of the house tightly, and no one is allowed in. If anyone visits, they will say that I am sick."

Wang Changjiong said to his daughter Wang Ling.

……

"Open the city gate quickly!"

Prime Minister Liu Qusuo followed the emperor's order and returned to Chang'an City with the Imperial Guards from Shanglinyuan.

The soldiers on the city wall were very entangled. They didn't know whether they should listen to the prince or the prime minister.

"Siege!"

Prime Minister Liu Qusuo ordered the imperial guards to directly attack the city.

"kill!"

However, after four days and four nights of bloody battles, the imperial guards still failed to break into the city.

On the fifth day, Emperor Liu Che finally appeared under the walls of Chang'an.

Seeing that the emperor was still alive, the soldiers on the city wall realized at this moment that the prince's words were false, so they hurriedly opened the city gate.

"All rebels! Kill them all!"

Emperor Liu Che coldly ordered that he would kill all rebels except Prince Liu Ju and Empress Wei Zifu.

My son can rebel, but you cannot rebel with my son!

As the city gate was opened, Prime Minister Liu Quyu led the imperial guards into the city.

"Your Majesty has an order, those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

The prime minister yelled, telling the soldiers of the Imperial Guard not to worry, and to kill anyone they meet.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard entered the city and killed everyone who stood in front of them, no matter whether they were soldiers or civilians.

"Father is still alive?"

Hearing the report from the soldiers at the city gate, Prince Liu Ju had a complicated expression.

On the one hand, he is a filial person, and he is very happy that his father is still alive. On the other hand, he is a loyal person. If his father is still alive, it means that he is really rebelling, so he is a disloyal person. people.

"Young Fu, take the envoy to meet my royal father immediately, and explain to him that everything is a misunderstanding, and that Jiang Chong was too aggressive, so I had no choice but to take the risk." Prince Liu Ju didn't really want to rebel, So I'm going to rely on explanations to stop all the killing.

But Shaofu Shide thought in his heart: If the emperor and the crown prince really reconciled in the end, I will definitely be executed by the emperor if I persuade the crown prince to rebel.

So on the way, Shi De killed the rest of the envoys, and then ran back alone.

But one of the messengers survived by luck, and ran out of the city, wanting to see the emperor.

But this messenger was discovered by Liu Quyao.

Liu Quyao also thought the same way.

Once the prince and the emperor reconcile, although the queen and the prince can survive, all the people below them will die.

A mean and ungrateful emperor can forgive the prince and queen, but it is absolutely impossible to forgive them ministers.

"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"

Therefore, Liu Quyu took his followers to kill the envoy of the prince who survived by chance, and slandered him as an assassin.

In the end, the prince's envoy failed to see the emperor to explain clearly that the imperial guards were still massacring the rebels in the city.

The common people didn't know that the emperor was still alive, so they still resisted.

"what!!!"

clang!
"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Chang'an civilians were slaughtered, and they were all rebels in the eyes of the emperor.

……

"Zi'er, run as fast as possible!" Empress Wei Zifu was desperate. From the moment the imperial guards entered the city, everything was over.

"Mother's queen!" Prince Liu Ju cried, and finally left the palace in tears, and fled from the east gate of Chang'an City with the servants and officials of the crown prince's womb.

When Prince Liu Ju left the palace, Wei Zifu shouted in the direction of the imperial guards: "Liu Che, you did a good job! Hahahaha—"

Subsequently, Wei Zifu, a legendary empress of a generation, hanged himself in the womb of the crown prince.

……

"Don't let the prince run away, chase after him!" How could the prime minister Liu Quyu allow the prince Liu Ju to escape successfully? If the surviving prince explained clearly in front of the emperor that everything was a misunderstanding, wouldn't he, the prime minister, be dead? ?

"kill!"

Some imperial guards, led by Prime Minister Liu Quyu, chased and killed the prince who escaped from the east gate.

call out!
An arrow shot out and hit Prince Liu Shi on the back.

"Your Highness!" The retainers of the Crown Prince hurriedly helped the Crown Prince up.

Prince Liu Ju did not die, but when he saw Liu Quyao who was chasing him and surrounded him, his face was pale, and he shed unwilling tears, and then he drew his sword and killed himself.

"Father! My son, there is no way, there is really no way!!!"

laugh--

"Your Highness!!!"

The disciples of the Taiwomen wept, and then made a final resistance, and they were all slaughtered by the Praetorian Guards.

……

Inside Chang'an City
The killing gradually stopped, but the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in blood mist, the streets were filled with corpses, and the walls were all bright red.

The prince escaped, the queen hanged herself, and the Chang'an people who resisted the emperor's army were slaughtered by [-] to [-] people. After the remaining Chang'an people heard that the emperor was not dead, they had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender to the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor slaughtered his own subjects in his own capital.

A scourge of witchcraft caused the death of more than [-] people in Chang'an City.

In the city of Chang'an, more than 5 people were first accused of practicing witchcraft and then killed unjustly.

After that, another 6 or [-] people were slaughtered in the process of resisting the Praetorian Guards.

Entering Chang'an City, looking at the corpses all over the ground, seeing his own people piled up into mountains, and the imperial capital Chang'an City's blood flowing into rivers, even the cold-blooded and cruel emperor Liu Che couldn't help but feel shocked and feel a little regretful in his heart.

After returning to the palace, looking at the queen Wei Zifu who had hanged himself, Emperor Liu Che stroked Wei Zifu's cold body and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Prime Minister Liu Quyu happily ran in and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news, good news, the rebellious prince has been executed, and all the rebellious officials and thieves have been eradicated. I am a big man, and the chaos is set right!"

"My son was killed, prime minister, are you happy?!"

Boom! ! !

A bolt of lightning struck down, and the emperor's hoarse and eerie words startled Prime Minister Liu Quyu.

Liu Qushuo was shivering in place, afraid to speak, his body kept shaking, maybe it was because of the sudden violent storm that made him feel cold, but more because he was frightened by the emperor's sudden gloomy attitude.

Boom!

woohoo-

The lightning from the sky continued to strike, and the heavy rain fell on Chang'an City, washing the blood on the streets of Chang'an.

Emperor Liu Che stood lonely in front of the gate of the palace, standing on the steps, letting the wind and rain blow.

Looking at the endless black clouds in the sky, and seeing the mourning of all living beings in Chang'an City, he couldn't help thinking: If Chang'an is the capital of the country, how miserable should the world be?
Have I been wrong all these years?

He remembered the first time he fell in love with Wei Zifu. He remembered that when Liu Zheng was born, he was so happy that he was dancing. The trust he had in Wei Qing when he came to Wei Qing reminded him of the love he had for Huo Qubing when he first met him.

I also remembered that the people at that time praised him as a holy king and a good emperor. It was he who led the big man to defeat the mighty Huns and brought unprecedented dignity to the people of the big man.

But all of this has turned into smoke and clouds of yesterday.

In these years, the war against the Xiongnu was less victorious than the defeat, the taxes on the common people became heavier day by day, and there were civil uprisings almost every year.

However, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was obsessed with cultivating immortality and longevity, so that the world was corrupted, so that father and son killed each other, so that there is today's misery.

Maybe... I was really wrong.
