Chapter 123: Lingyan Pavilion
"The personnel will be arranged, as for the matter of the Martial Academy, this time the army will return to the division and arrange it together, what does Aiqing think? Do you have any comments? Li Shimin thought for a moment and asked.
"The minister thinks it's the right time, as for the opinion, it's better to select a part of the young people in the army, first, the young people have more motivation to learn and room for growth, and second, you can also look at the difference between the young people who are taught and the veterans in the army." Feng Daiwen thought for a moment and said.
"Well, Aiqing will rest for a few days, and I will arrange a new appointment for you, and the army will be back on the same day." Li Shimin said noncommittally.
"Please ask the Holy Lord, choose a place to build a martyr's cemetery, and all the unknown heroes who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty can be buried in it, so that the military families who have disappeared in their families have a way to hang." Feng Daiwen wanted to go on the expedition with him, but the sacrificial brother suggested with a gloomy expression.
"Yes, I will let the Heavenly Supervisor choose the land and the Ministry of Works to build it, so use this sentence as a symbol." Li Shimin agreed without much thought, and pointed his finger at the sentence on the newspaper: "The heroes who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty are immortal." ”
"The saint is wise, and the minister retires."
On the fifth day of the fourth month, Li Shimin sent the prince out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and he personally accompanied the emperor Li Yuan to meet him at Mingde Gate. Feng Daiwen was arranged by Li Shimin to accompany the prince, also because he came back early, and he was sent out to take a walk and feel the glory.
The army returned with honor, and the 10,000 people selected in front received the merit, with steel armor and steel knives all over their bodies, and the selected soldiers were also strong and elite soldiers. A hundred miles away, there were officials of the Ministry of Rites who praised them with holy decrees, and then every ten miles, there would be court officials with the people standing on the side of the road and praising loudly. Twenty miles away, there was the prime minister Xiao Yu who came out to greet him.
It was almost noon when Feng Daiwen saw the army that had returned to him, and when Li Chengqian finished reciting the holy decree, all 10,000 people were boiling. "Wan Sheng!" Feng Daiwen signaled the guards and shouted loudly.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! The 10,000-strong army shouted wildly, and the people who went out of the city to watch the excitement also shouted, and even Li Chengqian shouted loudly with a red face. The hundreds of Turkic nobles in the middle of the procession seemed to know their tragic fate, and their faces were as pale as if they were about to be beheaded, and they rode on their horses and staggered.
Mingdemen Li Yuan, Li Shimin personally greeted, reached a climax after reading the holy decree, Chang'an residents have recently been brainwashed by the newspaper, this will see the Ronghui army, the military appearance is mighty, and the armor and weapons are loved at a glance. With a sound of "Wan Sheng!" The whole Chang'an seemed to wake up from its slumber, and a huge shout shook the whole city, revealing a deep sense of pride and joy.
With Li Shimin's announcement of the three-day celebration, Chang'an City Jinwu couldn't help it, the whole city fell into a sea of jubilation, the people walked out of their homes one after another, and the big and small traders put out their own goods to play preferential signs.
Taimiao offered prisoners, saw Jieli, Tuli prostrate in front of Taimiao, Li Yuan, Li Shimin was very excited, this is a great victory over the grassland tribes after Qin and Han, and the history books must be written in a big book.
That night, Feng Daiwen was summoned into the palace by Li Shimin. "Defend the country, sit!" Li Shimin was wearing civilian clothes, and when Feng Daiwen saw the ceremony, he looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.
"The Holy One summoned him late at night, but what is the difficulty?" Feng Daiwen saw that Li Shimin was not easy to speak, so he asked.
Li Shimin let out a long breath and said: "Yes, but I have a difficult matter, Wei Guo has always been witty, just to help me take a closer look and give some advice." ”
"Please also ask the Holy Majesty to make it clear that the ministers should know everything." Feng Daiwen replied with his fists clenched.
"The generals of the court have worked hard and have to be rewarded, but many of them are already extremely popular ministers, and I can't do anything to hide the bow, what can I teach to defend the country." Li Shimin was silent for a while.
"The saint is wise, and the minister has a shallow view, for the reference of the saint, the minister thinks that one is a false position, and the other is to improve the fortune, and the food can only be sealed in the new land. The third veteran joins the new martial arts academy and teaches the younger generations, so that he will not be idle at home, and some people will say that the saint does not need people, and the general will be uncomfortable when he is idle. Second, you can pass on what you have learned to the next generation, so that one generation will not be inferior to the next. Feng Daiwen said thoughtfully.
Li Shimin nodded his head constantly when he heard this, and sighed: "Aiqing's words made me suddenly brighter, haha, since I met Aiqing, everything has gone much smoother, and it is really my blessing." ”
Feng Daiwen hurriedly said: "This is all the blessing of the saint, and Weichen does not dare to take credit." ”
Li Shimin is very satisfied with Feng Daiwen, he is never arrogant, he knows that he is not greedy for power in advance and retreat, and he is not lustful, although he is very close to the prince and others, but he does not teach the emperor's mental tricks, and he is his son-in-law.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to think about it, what I said is from the bottom of my heart, you are telling me how to arrange for the Wenchen clan." ”
"There are only two things that the military generals care about, one is to leave a name in history, and the other is to be descendants. The minister thought that he could set up a stone tower, according to the meritorious portrait of the qualified civil and military generals of the Tang Dynasty, and set up a statue to enshrine in the tower. Feng Daiwen could see that Li Shimin was indeed sincere to himself, and he could finally understand what it means to be a confidant and die.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he understood the benefits, not only can he buy a large number of people's hearts, but also make the minister work harder, so he smiled happily and said: "Yes, good idea, it happened to be built with the cemetery, anyway, there are so many free labor." First put the deceased in the tower, but also separate the merits, the higher the merits, the more placed in a high place, it is better to call Lingyan Pavilion. Li Shimin also became more and more excited the more he talked, and he couldn't wait to build it immediately.
"Hehe, and you can place the statues of corrupt officials on both sides of the steps outside the tower, as a kneeling form, you don't need too much to just catch two examples, in the opinion of the minister, in the future, if someone wants to do bad things, you have to think about leaving a stench for 10,000 years." Feng Daiwen thought of the treacherous appearance that had been kneeling for thousands of years in later generations, and suggested with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but not too much, too much. You have to choose carefully, and it is best to choose the previous dynasty as a wake-up, otherwise it is not good for people to panic. Li Shimin also knows that there are not so many clean officials, so he can be vigilant, as long as there are not so many in the future.
"The saint is wise, but Wei Chen is not thoughtful." Feng Daiwen admires Li Shimin very much, not only drawing inferences from others, but also being more comprehensive and thoughtful than himself. I just stood on the edge of the open.
"Alas, I also know that this person is inevitably selfish, as long as he is not overly greedy, it is just human nature. What suggestions does Ai Qing have for corruption? Li Shimin said with a sigh.
