Yang Xuangan was the first aristocratic leader to rebel against Yang Guang in the late Sui Dynasty. Of course, this shot killed the first bird, and Yang Xuangan naturally had no easy end! After being attacked repeatedly by the armies of Yu Wenshu and other Sui Dynasty generals, Yang Xuangan knew that
He was unable to save his life, so he simply asked his brother Yang Jishan to kill him personally, hoping to use his own life in exchange for his brother's life.
However, Yang Xuangan miscalculated Yang Guang's hatred for him. After Yang Jishan was caught, he explained that he had killed Yang Xuangan himself, hoping that Yang Guang could exempt him from the death penalty. But Yang Guang did not let Yang Jishan go because of this.
, but still ordered Yang Jishan to be executed! He even changed Yang Jishan's surname to Xiao, which means a beast. And Yang Jishan himself was tied to a grid first, and put a wheel around his neck.
All the civil and military officials of the ninth rank and above in the whole dynasty used weapons to chop and shoot! There were more arrows stuck in their bodies than hedgehogs! The flesh was chopped into pieces and thrown into the wheels. Then Yang Jishan's body was cut into pieces and finally burned and discarded!
As for Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang did not let him go just because he was dead. Instead, he had Yang Xuangan's body found and thrown on the busiest street in Luoyang, where it was allowed to be run over by carriages and left torn for three days.
Then he cut his body into pieces and burned it! It was so bloody!
As for the fate of Hu Sizheng, which is not mentioned in the article, the historical records are not much better than those of Yang Xuangan and his brothers. After being escorted to Luoyang, they first beheaded him, and then threw him into a pot to boil. After he was cooked,
Let all civil and military officials eat it! It is said that some people even ate very full to flatter Yang Guang! After eating, they collected his bones, burned them and threw them away!
