The civil and military forces standing near the high platform couldn't help but look at Li Shimin when they heard the words, but they saw Li Shimin with a blue face and did not speak.

A group of ordinary soldiers ran to the monk and couldn't help but say, so they crossed them out of the venue.

Seeing the monks being forked out, Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the soldiers below, stood next to the trumpet-shaped megaphone on the high platform, and said to tens of thousands of soldiers: "The lonely king is not here to make a joke when he holds this requiem conference, but he really wants to mourn these fallen soldiers." The sound passed through the bamboo pipe to the various solutions of the venue, so that nearly 100,000 people in the venue could hear it clearly.

Although the ordinary soldiers below felt strange, they took it for granted when they thought that Li Chengqian was the crown prince.

But Li Shimin and those ministers were taken aback, thinking that Li Chengqian knew what kind of spells, and some people were directly frightened and didn't even dare to move.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shiji, Li Shiji hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to the bamboo pipe next to him and whispered: "The sound came from these bamboo pipes." ”

Li Shimin nodded suspiciously, and began to observe the bamboo pipe erected on the side of the stage while Li Chengqian spoke.

As he was looking at it, he heard Li Chengqian's voice coming from the bamboo pipe: "The soldiers sacrificed on the battlefield in order to protect their families and defend the country, and there are Your Majesty and King Gu personally mourning, do you still need monks to chant scriptures?"

As soon as the words "hum" came out, it immediately caused controversy among the soldiers.

"Don't be a monk!" There were people below who were disgusted with Buddhism, and someone immediately replied.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and raised his hands to signal quiet, and the guards of the East Palace immediately stepped forward to rectify the order.

The venue gradually quieted down, and Li Chengqian continued: "More than a thousand years ago, there was a teacher Mr. Kong, who said that it is better to be frugal with money, food and processes than to be extravagant and wasteful and boring. Even if the funeral is done perfectly in terms of etiquette, it is not as good as sincerely grieving for the deceased......" As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the ordinary soldiers below all felt the same way, and the ministers involved in this matter all felt that their faces were hot, and this face was too bad.

Only Li Shimin snorted coldly and muttered: "Vulgar, one sentence: 'Etiquette, rather than luxury, rather frugality; Mourning, with its easy also, rather relative. That's what you're talking about. ”

Li Chengqian looked at the reactions of the people below and continued his speech: "The lonely king is here to sincerely grieve for these good men of the Tang Dynasty. "Look back at the ash jar behind you.

Turning his head, he waved his hand to that side, and said in a low voice: "Many of them know the lonely king, Guanzhong Zhu Er is only twenty-two years old this year, he has been in the army for two years, he is a foot archer, burly and dignified, he is the most bold and righteous."

Zhu Er once told King Gu that he had a son who was four years old, and he didn't have a big name yet, and he wanted to ask King Gu to give him a name. Seeing that he took great care of his younger brother Du Lin for the sake of righteousness, King Gu named his son Zhu Yi.

Since then, he has been marching and fighting, and it is not known if he wrote to tell his son that King Gu had named him. ”

When Li Chengqian said this, the corners of his eyes were already moist, and some of the soldiers below who had dealings with Zhu Er were already crying.

Li Chengqian paused, his vocal cords choked up, and said: "Zhu Er quietly told Guwang that Du Lin has many brothers and his parents died early, Du Lin followed his brother and sister-in-law, he couldn't eat enough since he was a child, so his body was a little weak, and he was bullied in the army, and he stood up for Du Lin.

When Wusu besieged Guwang, Zhu Er was still not defeated with one enemy and three enemies, and finally in order to rescue Zhang Sheng, who was on the same team, he was stabbed to death by five Hui soldiers. Because Zhu Er killed many Hui people, they stabbed Zhu Er to death and used a scimitar to divide their bodies, and after the war, Du Lin cried and Zhang Sheng cried and found Zhu Er's head in a pile of corpses.

Later, Du Lin told King Gu that Zhang Sheng had not yet married because his family was poor and over twenty years old, and Zhu Er had no queen to save Zhang Sheng, so he desperately rescued him......"

Next, Li Chengqian told several touching stories on the battlefield, and the protagonists of the stories were all heroes who died in previous battles.

After listening to Li Chengqian's eloquent narration, many people were deeply affected and wept bitterly.

Just when Li Chengqian wiped his tears and was about to make a concluding speech, he suddenly heard someone outside the venue say sadly: "Your Majesty, these people told by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty, and the minister dares to ask His Majesty to posthumously crown them as viscounts." ”

One sentence shifted everyone's attention to Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian turned his head to see that it was a person from the Zhongshu House who was speaking, and he said in his heart that this sycophant was really timely, but he was too underestimated to look down on Lao Tzu, and he actually wanted to use the platform set up by Lao Tzu to sing.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that Li Shimin had already stood up, and looked at the ashes jar and the eager eyes of the soldiers, showing a sad look on his face.

"What I said in the book is good, these people are indeed heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but the heroes of the Tang Dynasty are not only the people mentioned by King Lone, but also Wei Xin, Zhou Qi, Hu Sheng, Hu De, Pei Yuan, ......" Li Chengqian said the names of dozens of fallen soldiers in a row.

The more Li Shimin listened, the darker his face became, the Viscount of the Tang Dynasty is also at the level of the fifth grade, how can you say so much in one breath?

Finally, I heard Li Chengqian say loudly: "All these soldiers who died in battle are heroes of the Tang Dynasty." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't wait to slash Li Chengqian with a knife, and he couldn't get off the stage at all.

Sealed, it is impossible to seal it all, if it is not sealed, you are in a half-heavenly state.

All the ministers and soldiers on the school field looked at Li Shimin, especially the ordinary soldiers, whose eyes were particularly eager.

The ministers looked very embarrassed here, seeing that no one came out to relieve Li Shimin's siege and was about to have an accident, Fang Xuanling came out and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart of loving soldiers like sons, and he must also have the idea of provoking the fallen soldiers." ”

Li Chengqian heard this: "The lonely king has some ideas, but he doesn't have the grace of being knighted. ”

Frankly told everyone that King Lone had thought of a way to provoke, but he was not knighted.

"When I came to Zhongshu, I was excited by the righteousness of the Tang Dynasty Jian'er, but how can I reward the nobles lightly, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a suitable strategy, please make it clear." As soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, he immediately felt the disappointed gaze from the ordinary soldiers.

But Li Chengqian didn't intend to let Li Shimin go like this, and deliberately turned his head to peek at Li Shimin and said: "But King Lone looks at His Majesty's proposal to come to Zhongshu and seems to be intentional. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers of civil and military affairs present were shocked, and Li Chengqian completely refused to give Li Shimin a step.

The reason why Fang Xuanling stood up under pressure was to give Li Shimin the steps, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to finally throw this problem to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a calm face for a long time, and then said slowly: "Although they are all killed in battle, the credit is not equal in the end, and the lord must always verify the military merits before reasoning."

Since the prince has already made arrangements, let's say it now. ”

"Yes!" Li Chengqian bowed, then turned his head to the East Palace guards and said loudly: "Lift up!" ”

After a short time, dozens of strong men carried ten heavy wooden boxes and lined them up in front of Li Chengqian.

Everyone in the room craned their necks, wondering what was in the ten big wooden boxes?

Li Chengqian no longer let everyone wait for a long time, and directly said loudly: "Open!"

Bang, bang, bang......

There was an unboxing sound! Those who were close to saw the golden light reflected in the box, and they were even more curious about what was inside.

The people in the distance didn't know what it was, and they were even more like cats, and they were all eagerly waiting for Li Chengqian to solve the mystery.

I saw Li Chengqian wave his hand arrogantly and shouted: "Take it out!" The sound was heard throughout the square.

Seeing Li Chengqian's big move, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials knew that what they took out must be good things, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks and look forward.

I saw that the strong men who were standing next to the box before all bent down and bowed their heads, and took out pieces of yellow cancan dog-headed gold from the box, and the people who were close couldn't help but let out loud exclamations.

"It's gold...... Doghead Golden ......"

"That's a lot of gold!"

……

……

The big men took out pieces of gold the size of a sea bowl, held them in their arms, and began to walk around the high platform, so that the people sitting around could see it clearly.

There was a gasp around the high platform, and some people had never seen so much gold in their lives, and they were all stunned when they suddenly saw so much gold.

Li Shimin and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs were also shocked when they saw Li Chengqian suddenly ordering someone to take out so much dog-headed gold, where did this dog-headed gold come from?

Could it be that it was seized from Xue Yanhan's tent?

What is Li Chengqian going to do with these dogs' heads?

Isn't it enough to reward the families of the fallen soldiers?

Li Shimin also thought that these dogs' heads and gold were auspicious things, and they should be sent to the palace, and that they should be rewarded with money and silk for rewarding meritorious soldiers.

Li Chengqian saw that everyone had seen it, so he motioned to the strong man holding the dog's head to put the gold back in the box.

After all the gold was put back in the box, the soldiers below came back to their senses, and Li Chengqian raised his hands and shouted loudly: "You can see it clearly, right?"

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, but ......

"This is the dog's head gold dug out of the gold mine, silver ore and copper mine found by the lonely king, compared to these golds, there is more silver and copper in the mine, enough for us to dig for dozens or hundreds of years."

"Hum-" The soldiers below were no longer calm.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with fiery eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Son! Son, why don't you tell me first when you find the gold, silver and copper mines?"

Li Chengqian didn't look back at Li Shimin, otherwise he would definitely see a hideous-looking Li Shimin staring at him.

Li Chengqian raised his hands again to signal everyone to be quiet, and when he saw that the scene was slowly quiet, he continued: "These gold mines are not the lone king's, nor are they the Tang royal family's, they are all Tang people.

These gold and silver should be used to build weapons and armor for the Tang Dynasty soldiers, to pave roads for canal repair, and to be used for disaster relief. It is also necessary to set aside a part to provoke the dead and disabled soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian's words were heard in the square of nearly 100,000 people, and the eyes of the ministers of civil and military affairs, ordinary soldiers, and leaders of various departments at the scene were full of shock, admiration, eagerness, and so on.

Only Li Shimin showed an inexplicable look on his face and slowly closed his eyes.

Li Chengqian also felt the change in the atmosphere of the scene, and continued with all his strength: "This money is earmarked for special use, and no one can embezzle it, and this money should be used to raise the orphans of the dead soldiers, so that their children can be fed, clothed warmly, can afford to read, can afford to practice martial arts, and grow up to become pillars of the country."

This money will also be used for the injured and disabled soldiers, so that they can support their families after returning home, and if they have no relatives, they will marry them, and if they have already married their own children, their children will also be taken care of by the court. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

I don't know who shouted first, but nearly 100,000 people shouted......

Seeing this, Li Shimin silently stood up and walked out, only the attendants and guards who followed him followed, and the huge honor guard was left in place.
