Chapter 1453 - Can't Miss It? (below)
When the boat arrived at the pier, a group of old guys got off the boat with a mutter, and what they saw was a huge building with a height of more than ten zhang standing in the square not far away.
"What's that?" There are few buildings in Chang'an City that are higher than Taiji Palace, and these ten-zhang tall things can be regarded as the only few, which makes the old guys very curious.
"This is a monument, and below the monument is the Tang Dynasty Soul Palace, do you want to go and see it?" Li Chengqian was the last to get off the boat and pointed to the huge stone building in the distance: "That is the only building in the entire military academy that has been completed." ”
"Heroic Soul Palace? What is that? The old guy asked.
"All those who died on the battlefield or made outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty will be included in the Hall of Heroic Souls." Li Chengqian looked at the huge stone tablet from afar, slightly distracted.
This huge stele was built by him in imitation of the monument to the heroes of later generations, for the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers who followed him to Liaodong and finally died in a foreign land.
"Let's go check it out!" The old guys rarely put away the playful expressions on their faces.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of the dead being the greatest, and the three words of the Heroic Soul Hall made the old guys think of those comrades who were born and died together on the battlefield, and their faces were very heavy.
……
The roads of the military school are all concrete, and they are swept spotlessly.
And every road here is straight, even if it occasionally crosses it, it is perpendicular to each other, and everything that can be seen in the whole campus is like this, without any curvature.
"Soldiers should move forward bravely, and would rather take from the straight than from the curve." An old guy asked Li Chengqian why this place was like this, and Xiao Li explained.
"Yes, the Tang Dynasty soldiers should be like this." When the old guy heard Li Chengqian's explanation, he nodded with satisfaction, and his expression was quite approving.
"What's that?" On the way to the Hall of Heroic Souls, Yu Chigong became interested in several statues next to him.
"Qin Shimingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain!" Chai Shao stood in front of a statue with a bent bow and angry shots, looked at the poems engraved on the base of the statue and unconsciously read it, and then said thoughtfully: "Longcheng Flying General, this is the statue of Li Guang, the flying general of the year?" ”
Li Chengqian stepped forward slowly, first bowed to the statue, and then said: "Uncle is well-read and strong, Chengqian admires!" ”
"You wrote this poem, right? What a momentum! What a spirit! "Chai Shao was also a merry man in the Sui Dynasty at the beginning, and the good and bad of the poems can be known at a glance.
"Uncle has won the prize!" Li Chengqian arched his hand, and his face was impressive.
It's just that I copied some poems on it for a while, thinking that all the students here are military academy students, and it won't have much impact, but now it seems that I'm afraid there will be another turmoil.
"Come on, come on, look at this, there's still one here." After looking at Li Guang's statue, a group of people came to a statue with a wooden stick and looking into the distance.
"Guess who this is." An old man asked.
"Looking at my hometown, I didn't see the Great Wall. Looking forward to the spread of the book to Feihong, the sorrow to the sky and the sun. ”
"Guzheng mourns the Qingqiu Festival, and the iron man has no tears and is sad. But so that this body can serve the country, where is the end of the world not Suzhou and Hangzhou? ”
There is still a poem under the statue, but the people who look at it are confused, a few old guys with some knowledge come together and frown and ponder, and suddenly one of them glanced at the statue, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "I know, this person must be Su Wu!" Boy, am I right? ”
The last sentence was asked to Li Chengqian, in exchange for Comrade Xiao Li's long gesture at the statue, which was exactly the same as the action in front of the statue of Li Guang just now, indicating that the old guy guessed correctly.
……
Along the way, looking and guessing, the old guys quickly forgot about the revolver just on the ship.
Old man Yu Chi asked with emotion: "Boy, why don't you see our statues here?" ”
Well? What an embarrassing question! Li Chengqian opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but it was the fairy Cheng next to him who helped him out of the siege: "Yu Chi Lao Hei, it's easy to want to make a statue of yourself, you wiped your neck with a knife, and there will be a statue of you here soon!" ”
"That's it, Lao Hei, don't you take a look, the sculptures here are all dead for hundreds of years, we people are alive and well now, what do you want to make statues!"
A group of old goods took the lieutenant to open the house, but Chai Shao and a few others were thoughtful, looking back at the statues on both sides of the road from time to time, and had to admire Li Chengqian's scheming.
These old guys are people who are used to seeing life and death, and they may not be very interested in statues or anything.
But what about the young people? Those touching poems are a little enthusiastic even for the old guys, let alone the young people.
Those young people look at these things every day, which is almost equivalent to brainwashing, and after a long time, they will naturally take killing the enemy and serving the country as their motto, and as soon as the students of these military academies graduate, why worry about not having an iron-blooded division.
Awesome, awesome! None of the Li family's species are easy to bully!
……
When everyone stood in front of the towering monument, they found that there were several gilded characters engraved on it: The soul of the Tang Dynasty is immortal, eternal and eternal, and eternal.
"This ...... It seems to be His Majesty's handiwork?! Hou Junji looked up for a long time and said with some uncertainty.
"Even if it is His Majesty's handwriting, only His Majesty can write such atmospheric words." Chai Shao answered on the side.
"I'll wait for a prayer." I don't know who suddenly proposed.
"That's as it should be!"
……
Incense cases, fire candles, and time has not been long enough to prepare, and nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who participated in the construction and training of the military academy are also lined up around the square.
There is no such thing as three animal offerings, it's not that he can't get it, but Li Chengqian is not qualified to carry out such a big ceremony, unless he has to swear to rebel now, he must not carry out such a big sacrifice.
Li Chengqian took the lead in putting a pillar of incense on the front of nearly 10,000 people, silently looked up at the tall stone stele, and suddenly pulled out the instrument knife from his waist like a nervous person, and slashed on his arm when everyone was caught off guard.
At the same time, the blood was shallow, and he raised his head to the sky and shouted: "I, Li Chengqian, set up this Heroic Soul Hall in the name of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that all the heroic souls will reunite here and enjoy the blood and food offerings of the Tang Dynasty for ten thousand years!" Your heroic souls are not far away, and your souls are back! ”
More than ten old guys didn't expect Li Chengqian to really offer 'blood food', and they couldn't help but change color, and they all pulled out their weapons without thinking, and they all swiped on the back of their hands, and blood dripped into the dust.
"Bang la......" The sound of armor, the sword was unsheathed, and countless Tang soldiers around were all half-kneeling on the ground .......
The dark red liquid dyed almost the entire square, and the sound of the soul returning resounded in the sky.
I thought it was a small sacrifice, but in the end, it was not much worse than the big sacrifice.
……
After the festival, the old guys packed up their feelings and began to patrol around the military academy, and finally at the training ground, the old guys finally discovered something that made them excited - a new type of artillery.
Seeing that the targets standing more than a thousand steps away were blown to pieces, the old guys drove all the soldiers who were training to the side and had a great time in battle.
Li Chengqian hugged his injured arm and hid far away, secretly hating himself for being so impulsive in a burst of heart-piercing pain.
However, it's not the time to regret it, looking at a group of old guys who are having fun, Comrade Xiao Li is very worried about whether those cannons will suddenly explode, if they are blown up, I am afraid that these old goods will be reimbursed half immediately, and it is estimated that the old man will peel his own skin at that time!
Helplessly, in order not to be skinned, Li Chengqian cautiously leaned over after the old guys fired more than a dozen shots.
"Father-in-law, it's almost time, it's time for us to go back to the city." Beside Lao Cheng, Li Chengqian said.
"What are you going back for? It's rare to have something so fun. Cheng Lao was stunned and resolute.
Helplessly, Li Chengqian slipped to Chai Shao's side again: "Uncle, you've put so many cannons, why don't you rest for a while?" ”
"Don't make a noise, wait for the old man to fire a few more cannons." Chai Shao didn't look back, and directly lit a fuse on the barrel.
Helplessly, I continued to look for Hou Junji, but the answer I got was still similar to Lao Cheng.
In the end, Li Chengqian really had no choice but to curse secretly: the old man who can't be blown up, and then found a small stone, and sat from a distance to watch those old men shoot.
One cannon, two cannons...... Ten guns.
The target has long been blown to shreds, and the ground has been blown up with potholes, but the old goods seem to be tired of it, and they will change it when a cannon is almost hit, and let people move it when the gunpowder and shells are gone, anyway, there are many people, cannons, and gunpowder here.
Finally, the sky slowly darkened, and after playing for an afternoon the old guys could not see the situation in the distance, they reluctantly left the artillery training ground.
"Gone boy, go back!" Looking at the boring Li Chengqian, Cheng Lao shouted out.
"It's a good place, will you come tomorrow?"
"Come on, why don't you come, let's put that platoon gun when we come tomorrow and see who can shoot accurately."
Li Chengqian, who was about to leave, heard the discussion of the old guys from a distance, and couldn't help but wail in his heart: Damn the old guy, he couldn't think about it, since this is the case, just blow up a few of them tomorrow.
……
Naturally, there was nothing to say all the way back, all the old goods got on the boat again and returned to Chang'an to go home, Li Chengqian didn't have to work so hard, he also arrived home when the boat reached the shore, and he was secretly glad in his heart at the same time, those old guys didn't plan to have dinner or anything here at him.
What Li Chengqian didn't know, however, was that an impeachment against him was secretly brewing, and the momentum of the commemoration activities during the day was still a bit loud, and it had already attracted the attention of people with good intentions.
This made those guys who were dissatisfied with him, the title of King of Qin, seem to have found an opportunity, and they all planned to use this reason to pull him off the horse again.
