Chapter 193: Tang Martyrs Cemetery

When Liaoxi was still busy, Chang'an City was indeed solemn, Lingyan Pavilion, the Tang Dynasty Heroes and Martyrs Cemetery was officially completed, and more than 1,000 craftsmen spent a lot of energy to carve, and it was not completely completed until December.

The whole cemetery not only occupies a huge area, but also has a grand momentum, there are more than 20 bluestone walls of size outside the cemetery, the battle image is engraved with relief carving techniques, the back is Yu Shinan's handwriting, the whole incident has passed, the name of the sacrificed, the number of people.

There are many clothed mounds in the cemetery, and what cannot be verified is a huge mound of clothes, and the bones of those who died behind were moved and buried here without family members.

Thirty-six meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the deceased all have bronze gilt real portraits, that is, with bronze gilt, made into the same tall portrait, the side of the tree stele is passed on, and the portrait that is still alive is hung, painted by Yan Liben, Yu Shinan handwritten.

Chang'an Daily, Datang Daily published many times in the early half month, December 25 Datang Heroes and Martyrs Cemetery was officially opened to all the people, you can come to pay tribute to the memory of family and friends, at the same time Lingyan Pavilion will also be open to the people to visit and worship.

On December 25 of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin held a grand ceremony to worship the sky, prayed to heaven, blessed the Tang Dynasty, and offered incense to the nameless and famous people who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty in the Heroes and Martyrs Cemetery.

Read the sacrificial text in front of the huge stele of nine feet high, the front of the stele is the immortal hero of the Tang Dynasty, the word of Li Shimin's own inscription, the back is engraved with a sacrificial text, a "Qin Feng without clothes", and the other two sides are engraved with lotus, Rui beast and many other reliefs.

With Li Shimin led the ministers to worship, the people entered the cemetery under the guidance of the guards, no, some people howled and cried, and it didn't take long for the cemetery to cry, and many people were prostrate on the ground, bursting into tears.

The Tang Dynasty was founded only ten years, the people of Guanzhong died too many relatives, and many of their families are still alive, but in the war, they don't know where they died, and they don't know where their bones are buried.

Li Shimin heard the crying inside from afar, and although he had been prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Holy! Grass people bow and thank God! An old woman with white hair knelt down not far away, shouting at Li Shimin, and clasped her head heavily.

"Old man, please get up." Li Shimin did not shy away from stepping forward to help the old man and said.

At this time, Li Shimin was not worried that someone would be unfavorable to him, and today it can be said that if anyone dares to say a bad word about Li Shimin, they will be torn to pieces by the people, and they will be stinking for 10,000 years.

"Three sons in the family, two died on the battlefield, there are no bones, the saint is kind, not only let the old woman have a thought, but also let them enjoy the incense of the people, let the grass people give you two more heads, and let the third child go to join the government soldiers tomorrow." The old woman said excitedly, and knelt down to buckle her head again.

Li Shimin hurriedly grabbed the old woman and said loudly: "I will not forget all those who sacrifice for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not forget, and future generations will not forget." ”

Whether it is a show or a sincere heart, as soon as Li Shimin said it on the phone, the people around him knelt on the ground and snored: "Holy Longen, the oath has been avenged, and the Tang Dynasty wins!" ”

In the end, starting from the cemetery, it spread to the entire Chang'an, "Datang Wansheng!" Once again, the people of the Tang Dynasty shouted excitedly, and the border was of different races, trembling.

After Qin Shi Huang, people attach great importance to the things behind him, especially the bones are gone, and if they can't enjoy the incense, they will think that it is an unlucky thing, and the opposite is to enjoy the incense of the people, in the eyes of many people, this is like becoming a god and becoming an immortal, how can you not be grateful to Li Shimin.

……

In front of the tower of Lingyan Pavilion is eighty-one stone stairs, on both sides of the stone staircase are dragons and phoenixes, tigers, horses, unicorns, and dragons and many other beasts, fierce beasts, especially the last two kneeling bronze statues are very eye-catching, on one side is the eunuch Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, on the other hand is the Liang Yi of the Han Dynasty who is known as the general of Bahu.

There is a stone tablet next to it, which roughly means, "These two bronze statues are used to warn future generations, if there are people who oppress the people and commit bad crimes of corruption, they will also erect bronze statues for him, and engrave books and turn around, so that their names will be passed on through the ages." ”

I have to say that Feng Daiwen's proposal is very ruthless, you must know that people at this time take reputation very seriously, with today's place, the officialdom is shocked, many people have converged a lot, and the officialdom atmosphere has become fresh for a while.

When the Lingyan Pavilion was built, it took into account the visit, worship things, there are two stairs designed in the stone tower, one up and down, the wall of the tower is installed with huge transparent glass, which is very good for light.

All the portraits are life-size, painted in color, and painted by Yan Liben's skillful hands, they look majestic and magnificent.

The seven-story stone tower, now only two floors, the top is the deceased people, the sixth layer is the people who are still alive, the people who visit the Lingyan Pavilion today are the sons of the nobles, scholars, officials, and the people will line up to visit in the future.

After the visit, after reading the introduction of the life of the people who were selected for Lingyan Pavilion, no one was unconvinced, including the youngest Feng Daiwen, but it made these young people's blood boil, and they vowed to pat their chests and express their allegiance to the emperor and go into battle to kill the enemy.

……

Li Shimin felt that he had gained a lot of fame and loyalty in Chang'an, and he was happy to exempt some taxes, and the rewards given to the ministers in the New Year were also very generous, but he did not expect that it would not be long before greater surprises would come.

After the New Year, on the third day of January, Du Zhenglun met the Khitan patriarch Mo Hui who came to answer, and the two naturally chattered when they met, and Mo Hui saw that Feng Daiwen actually asked people to send so many porcelain as gifts, and was very happy, and tried his best to keep Du Zhenglun to go to the tribe as a guest.

This is exactly what Du Zhenglun wanted, and he happily agreed without hesitation, and Mo was even more enthusiastic when he saw him so refreshingly.

The Khitan people live in the city in the summer and live in the grass in the winter, because they want to escort the goods, they do not go to the city, but come to the tribe, at the foot of the mountain, the tents are undulating, this is a larger tribe of the Khitan. There are more than 40,000 people.

With the arrival of Du Zhenglun and his party, the entire tribe gathered around to watch, and when they saw the acquaintances coming back, they greeted each other from afar.

Only some of them have arrived home, and the others have to continue to move forward, but even if Du Zhenglun's task is half completed, there is no need to continue to send forward, of course, he must start to distribute materials, the carriage is neglected in Liaoxi, so he naturally has to bring it back, fortunately, there are many horses in this tribe, and it is not a problem to borrow some cattle and horses.

More than 800 wagons, according to the workmanship team began to receive things, only 10 places began to distribute grain, fish, canned food, fruits and vegetables, frosting, salt and other items almost everyone, because there were too many, people living in this tribe called relatives and friends to help take home, people who did not live here can only pile aside.
