The New Year of the second year of Tiande is much more lively than in previous years, because in this year, two small lives have come to the palace in a row, and even the Empress Dowager Wei, who had a conflict with the emperor, also appeared happily at the royal family banquet.

Empress Dowager Wei was there, Jin Shan'er could only avoid it, Jin Shan'er stayed in the dormitory bored, looked at the northeast and muttered: "Where is my home?" ”

"This is your home." Li Jun's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Jin Shan'er was startled, and quickly turned around and saluted: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun hurriedly helped Jin Shan'er up and said: "Okay, Shan'er, don't worry too much, you don't know the queen mother's temper, the knife mouth is tofu heart, and when your fetus is stable in a few days, just go and compensate her old man." ”

Jin Shan'er lay in Li Jun's arms and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine does not blame the queen mother, the queen mother is really good to the concubine, and the concubine can still see it." ”

"Then don't worry, I'll surprise you after a while, I'll be here with you tonight." Li Jun said dotingly.

Jin Shan'er raised her head and said pitifully: "Your Majesty, you are here, the queen's sister will not blame, right?" ”

"Xiao Nizi, you have a lot of ghosts, don't worry, your sister Mei'er is very generous." Li Jun said with a smile.

Li Jun got up early the next day, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the ancestral system, Li Jun needs to sacrifice to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, but today Li Jun added a new item, that is, to go to the monument to commemorate the martyrs, when Li Jun arrived at the monument, the people of Chang'an were already surrounded here, Li Jun instructed Bao Qing who followed next to him: "Bao Qing, it seems that the scale of this monument will be expanded, so let's do it, I named this place Lingyan Pavilion, after the construction of the yamen starts, you have to arrange this matter as soon as possible." ”

"No, the minister obeys." Bao Qing didn't dare to slack off and replied immediately.

As the two were talking, the carriage stopped, and He Shen said carefully, "Your Majesty, the altar has arrived." ”

Li Jun immediately sorted out his clothes and boarded the altar accompanied by Xiao Wangzhi, Gao Zhe, and Zhang An. Li Jun was wearing a dragon robe and standing on the high altar, the sun shone on him, looking even more divine and brilliant.

The onlookers and civil and military officials involuntarily knelt down and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then gave He Shen a look, He Shen immediately handed the sacrificial text to Li Jun, Li Jun opened the sacrificial text and read: "Since Pangu opened the sky, the three emperors set the country, and the five emperors opened the territory." Where the country encounters major events, the man will be there, and worship the body of the country, that is, the bones become mounds, the rivers of blood are overflowing, and the land of the country must not be humiliated, the territory of the country is lost, the soldiers are clothed with liver and gall, and they will be parasitic on the blade, and the handsome lance is full of blood, and the king's sharp blade is glowing. I will work hard to pour the water of the Yellow River, to break the waves of the East China Sea, to conquer the land of Hulu, to suppress the cave of the Japanese slaves, to beg the deceitful of you, to kill the barbarians, and then the sea is cross-current, and the children are worthy of standing upright, and let the corpses cover the frontiers, only the soul can be relied on! ”

This easy-to-understand memorial text ignited the passion of everyone present at once, Gao Zhe has been fighting for decades, and he can understand the pain of war the most, and his heart is vigorous, and he is the first to stand up and shout: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are victorious, Your Majesty is victorious." ”

Then everyone also shouted: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are victorious, Your Majesty is victorious." ”

The crowd shouted straight through the sky, Xiao Wangzhi touched his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, the people's hearts are available." ”

Li Jun also nodded and said: "What the teacher said is very true, although we have occupied Hangai Mountain this year, but in my opinion, the people of Beijin will not give up easily, so we will definitely have a fierce battle to fight next year." ”

Gao Zhe's voice was almost hoarse, and he retreated, just when he heard Li Jun's words, he pondered for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, not only must you guard against the Northern Jin people, but also the Northern Liao, Hang Aishan is not far from the Liaodu, if there is a chance, the Northern Liao people will also find a way to pull out this nail." ”

Hearing Gao Zhe's words, Li Jun frowned and said, "Old general, shouldn't I want Hang Aishan, this endless fight, when will it be the end?" ”

Gao Zhe hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, what my Datang lacks is horse breeding land, without Hangai Mountain, we may have Changbai Mountain and Qilian Mountain, and there will be a conflict with Beijin and Beiliao at that time, so since this war cannot be avoided, then find a way to minimize the cost, this is the best strategy." ”

Zhang An also echoed on the side: "Your Majesty, what the old general said is very true, we are fighting, and the people of Beijin are not idle, although we have fought three battles in the past two years, but the price paid is very small, and the treasury can still support it." ”

Li Jun nodded in approval, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Wangzhi: "Teacher, if you fight again next year, will it affect the implementation of various new policies in the imperial court?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Zhang Zhi has already set up a money village in Jizhou, so this year the imperial court does not need to transport grain from all over the country to Hangai Mountain, the money village will buy it on the spot, and then transport grain from Jizhou to Hangai Mountain, so that the pressure on the court will be much less, and the impact on the new policy will be much smaller." ”

With the encouragement of these three, Li Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Then fight, with this country and this people, I am still afraid that they will not succeed?" ”

"Your Majesty will do everything in your power to achieve your Majesty's wishes." The three of them said in unison.

At this time, the scene was also quiet, Li Jun coughed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the monument will be changed to Lingyan Pavilion, and all the tablets of the soldiers who sacrificed for the national war can enter Lingyan Pavilion and be admired by all generations. ”

"The ministers (grass people) and others must obey the holy light." And immediately they worshipped.

Li Jun clapped his hands, Gao Zhe gave the order, and a group of knights on white horses lined up and drove from a distance, each holding a spirit card in their hands, the spirit card was covered with the dragon flag of the Tang Army, Gao Zhe stepped forward and drew his sword and performed a new military salute, and then roared: "The battle of Yangtan and the battle of Wuling Pass, a total of 4,687 people were sacrificed, you are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty welcomes you home." ”

"Welcome home heroes." As soon as Gao Zhe's words fell, everyone roared angrily.

Li Jun rode forward, punched the white horse knight who took the lead, and said, "They are all good men, you will give your comrades a ride for me." ”

"No." The White Horse Knight shouted excitedly.

Then Li Jun turned his head and came to the generals and shouted: "Soldiers, although Lingyan Pavilion is a sacred place, I hope that fewer people can enter every year, the better, you remember to me, after I have a flower armor, I will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain everyone, of course, if everyone in the palace is bored, it is okay to go to Yuchun Tower, I will take you to drink flower wine together." ”

"Haha, the last general will obey the holy order." The crowd laughed.
