imported>Sol Pacificus I meant day-month-year style. Darman, you've been editing on this wiki where we use European format long enough to know that the 6 April 2023 date style doesn't use a comma. Why would you suddenly start adding a comma to this format out of nowhere after all these years? This is really bizarre behavior. / I mislinked when re-adding the second edit. |

I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The fall of Chang'an was the capture of the Tang capital on 17 July 756 by the Yan forces of jiedushi An Lushan at the height of the An–Shi Rebellion.[1]
This occurred a few days[2] after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled the city with his royal entourage of closest family members, the Army of Dragon Warriors, and trusted officials, several members of whom were secretly Golden Turtles.[3] With their departure, the eunuch Bian Lingcheng was put in charge of the city's defences as regent by Chancellor Yang Guozhong in what was really a conscious decision to consign him to death.[2]
The rebels sacked the city for three days and nights, killing many civilians within the city walls. An Lushan's admiral Sun Xiaozhe slaughtered many members of the royal family, including the eldest princess, the Princess of Huo (霍國公主); the imperial concubines; the princesses' husbands; and many more at Chongren Ward (崇仁坊) in revenge for An Lushan's favourite son An Qingzong,[1] who had been executed by the Tang a year earlier.[4] Despite desperately pleading that he would swear loyalty to Lushan's dynastic regime, Bian Lingcheng was also executed.[1]
