On November 28, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, snowflakes were already floating in the sky. Pedestrians on the road hurried home, cursing the fucking weather, which seemed to be colder than usual this year.

Chongzhen's heart was on fire. For Emperor Chongzhen, who has been worried every day since the crossing and intimidated the courtiers with the butcher's knife in his hand, after offering the big killer weapon of never giving an edict to buy the hearts of the people, it is actually quite a bit of a poor donkey skill.

As the head of Chu in a TV series in your later life said, if Chongzhen kills all the ministers in the court, who will do something for him?

It's really urgent, the south rebelled first, so there is no need to wait until the country of Jiashen is in trouble, and it is estimated that Chongzhen may not be able to get by in the first year.

But after the Martyrs' Shrine was built, Chongzhen's heart hanging in his throat could finally be withdrawn into his stomach.

For the Qiu Ba people at that time, the Martyrs' Shrine was the spiritual sustenance in their hearts. After the bank was also settled, Chongzhen, who controlled the army both mentally and economically, said that he would not be afraid of any rebellion.

So after leaving the court, Chongzhen couldn't wait to go to the Martyrs' Shrine to have a look to see if the Martyrs' Shrine met his own requirements, and whether the cement was good or bad.

Therefore, no matter how cold the snowflakes in the sky were, even if those large snow leaves hit his face and hurt faintly, Chongzhen still didn't care.

Accompanied by the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chongzhen came to the completed Martyrs' Shrine for inspection.

Coming out of Chengtianmen to the south, passing the Chang'an Avenue of the later generations, slightly to the east, you can see the solemn martyr's shrine.

The entire Martyrs' Shrine covers an extremely wide area, which is more than the square in front of the Chengtian Gate.

The entire Martyrs' Shrine does not have any courtyard walls, and a whole ancestral hall is located on Chang'an Street. Because of the notice that Chongzhen was coming, the whole place had already been closed, and the Captain of the Jinyi Guard and the Dongchang Fanzi had already combed this place over and over again.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. After Chongzhen approached here, due to the shelter of the Huang Luo umbrella, there was not much snow on Chongzhen's body, but the body of the Jinyi guard who was on guard at the scene had already been covered with snowflakes, one by one like snowmen, standing motionless in the wind and snow, only eager eyes showed that this was a living person.

After approaching and looking at it carefully, because the whole is built with cement, the eaves and arches are added to decorate in the later stage, and the whole martyr's shrine presents a precipitated blue-gray, giving people the feeling that it is dignified and rough.

Walk closer, you can clearly see the three archways, layer by layer from west to east, until 50 meters in front of the Martyrs' Shrine.

The most westernmost one, one door and three holes, and the top of the cover is also carved out of granite. At the foot of the four doorposts, there are four stone lions squatting with evil spirits.

In the middle of the arch above, a large white ground is vacant, and a large area is vacant on the left and right, presumably reserved for writing couplets.

After passing through three archways for about 100 steps, it is the main hall of the martyrs' shrine that imitates the Taihe Hall and is different.

There are nine steps in front of the hall, and three passages are separated by white jade railings. The whole hall flies the eaves and arches, and the name of the hall in the middle is also empty, presumably it is also reserved for the inscription of Chongzhen.

When you enter the hall, there is a statue of Yue Fei Yue Wumu enshrined in it, and there is no one in the empty hall at the moment, and a slight sound can be heard very clearly, which adds to the uncomfortable feeling in Chongzhen's heart.

When he returned, Chongzhen pointed to the blank space on the archway where the couplets were written, and suddenly asked Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Meng Aiqing, who is going to find someone to write in these empty places?" ”

When Meng Shaoyu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been decided." This should have been written by His Majesty.

If His Majesty is flawless, he will ask the first assistant of the current dynasty and the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong to write it. ”

Chongzhen didn't think about competing with his courtiers for this opportunity to hold the pen, but when he heard the three words of Yan Shenggong, his heart was tired, and he immediately said: "That's it, let me write these things." The soldiers sacrificed for the country, I should always say something, but I can't let the soldiers sacrifice in vain. ”

When Meng Shaoyu heard this, he bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

It's just that Chongzhen, who returned to the palace, was very unhappy.

Because no matter how you write it, you can't write the effect you want. He always felt that no matter how he wrote, he seemed to be sorry for those soldiers who sacrificed for the country.

Throwing the pen in his hand, Chongzhen simply closed his eyes. In front of him, the scenes in the Jingshi Guard Battle began to emerge again.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were not afraid of death would rather jump off the city wall and fall to their deaths with Jiannu who climbed to the top of the city, rather than never Jiannu to climb the city, those soldiers who were still having dinner with him at the head of the city the night before, disappeared in front of his eyes the next day.

and Wang Xuanlone, who he had only met once, just to catch a living Fan Wencheng for himself, Wang Xuanlin and twelve Jinyi Guard captains died in Liaodong, and even the bones have not been found so far.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and even Chongzhen, whose eyes were moist, suddenly became angry, they were all these damn Jiannu, and in his lifetime, he must completely solve Jiannu! No, there are also Wokos! And those damn monkeys in the South Seas!

The more he thought about it, the more angry Chongzhen suddenly opened his eyes again, grabbed the pen he had just thrown away, and wrote the three big characters of the Martyrs' Shrine on the rice paper in front of him.

These three words, like an iron hook scratching a silver hook, penetrate the back of the paper, and the dark ink color shows a fierce aura.

Only the strong word in it, but there is a little less below. Chongzhen's thoughts at this time, I am afraid that they are the same as what a bald headmaster in later generations thinks, I only wish that there would be fewer martyrs in the Ming Dynasty!

Since he wrote a satisfactory big character, Chongzhen simply went all out and wrote the couplets on the three arches and the inscriptions in the main hall of the Martyrs' Shrine.

After a few words were written, Chongzhen's whole person seemed to have consumed all his strength, but he asked Wang Chengen to send those words to the Martyrs' Shrine and ordered the craftsman to carve them as they were.

After a moment of relief, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace to see him. ”

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen was extremely tired, but he sobbed: "Emperor, why don't you see Lord Meng tomorrow?" It's time for you to get some rest! ”

Chongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "No." Wang Companion, this Ming is a burden handed over to me by the emperor's brother, and I can't relax. ”
