先是,契丹遣幽州指揮使張璉,以部下軍二千餘人屯鄴,時亦有燕軍一千五百人在京師,會高祖至闕,有上變者,言燕軍謀亂,盡誅於繁臺之下,咸稱其冤。 Earlier the Khitan had posted Zhang Lian of Youzhou at Ye with more than two thousand men, while another fifteen hundred Yan troops were in the capital. When Gaozu entered the capital, an informer claimed the Yan garrison meant to rebel, and every man was executed below Fantai—a killing widely called a miscarriage of justice.
