After the noisy marching band, it was finally the turn of today's protagonists.

All the twelve troops involved in the battle of Sanguan (5 corps of the Blue Dragon Legion, 4 corps of the White Tiger Legion, and 3 garrison armies) each sent a squadron as a representative. At this moment, each of them carried a big red flower on their chests, and each of them looked like grooms, under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders, they took small steps and slowly entered behind Yang Jinhua and her guards.

However, this should have been a very cheerful moment, but the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little weird. Except for the squadron leader and the standard-bearer, all the other soldiers of each team held a tablet in each hand, and walked solemnly on the smooth streets, turning a blind eye to the lively people.

"What's the situation? Didn't you say that the prisoners were sacrificed, why did they hold the tablets one by one, could it be that they also erected a monument to the enemy? The crowd looked at the lively Chen Shengzhi and looked at the two companions.

Wu Yu: "Probably not!" Didn't you say that the prisoners were sacrificed, even if they went through the motions, they had to get a few gasps to get just! ”

Tang Jie: "That's it!" Let's see what tricks they're playing first, anyway, we're here to see the excitement! ”

Chen Shengzhi and Wu Yu nodded, and the three of them once again watched the slowly marching procession while blowing nonsense. Almost an hour later, the eleven small square teams finally finished Donggan Street, and placed the tablets in their hands on a temporary pavilion in turn, and then stood quietly on the square again.

At this time, Wu Yu accidentally glanced back and saw a commotion on the street again. He pulled the two companions and said, "Look, two old brothers, this will be the right master!" ”

"Oh?" After Chen Shengzhi glanced back, he shouted, "I'll just say it!" What a good prisoner sacrifice meeting, how can there be no prisoners! ”

As he spoke, a group of captive representatives slowly passed through the crowd under the escort of the forbidden army, and all gathered in the square. The people who watched the excitement were also under the control of the security guards, and slowly moved around the square, and the first half of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony came to an end here.

In winter, the days are relatively short, and by the time all this is arranged, the sky is getting darker. Just when everyone thought that today's excitement was about to end so hastily, Zhao Zhen stood up from his seat, took two steps forward, leaned next to the several loudspeakers that had been built, and shouted, "My people! Welcome to today's great gathering! On this festive day of the approaching New Year, I would like to share with you good news.

Of course, if you are here today, you must already know the news. But I still have to tell you again. Just two months ago, the Empress Dowager of the Liao State raised 200,000 troops to invade the three passes of our Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song officers and soldiers finally defeated the Liao army after half a month of bloody fighting. In this battle, more than 90,000 Liao troops were annihilated, nearly 60,000 people were captured, and Xiao Xunbu, the king of the Northern Court of Liao, and several senior generals were awarded the head, which can be described as brilliant results!

However, behind this brilliant result, it was the price paid by our officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty for 3,319 killed and 8,571 wounded. Perhaps, in everyone's opinion, this time my Great Song has achieved an unprecedented victory at a very small price, which is a day worth rejoicing. That's right! I am also happy for their victory, and proud of their ability to defend the integrity of the land and the safety of the people with their lives!

However, every time I think about this, I really can't be happy! It is said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this is not a general's business, but our Great Song Dynasty's country. The common people want to live and work in peace and contentment, the businessmen want to make money in harmony, and the court wants peace in the world, all of which need a stable internal environment.

There is a way, there is no worry inside, there is no trouble outside, the people are safe and the country is prosperous, and the horse can be waited!

Therefore, I would like to thank all the soldiers for their hard work on behalf of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the people of the world! It was you who defended the dignity of my Great Song with your lives! It is you who have protected the peace of the people with your blood!

In the same way, I also understand that my status as a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty is low. As the saying goes, a good iron does not hit nails, and a good man should not be a soldier. I'm sure all of you here think so!

However, I am here today to make a promise in front of the souls of these 3,319 fallen soldiers. I assure you that from now on, anyone who has made significant contributions to the Great Song Dynasty will be remembered by me and the Great Song royal family. I have already discussed with the ministers of the imperial court that I will build a 'Great Song Patriotic Heroes Tower' here, which will be used to store the tablets for a heroic soul, so that they can enjoy the incense of the people of the Great Song Dynasty forever.

Of course, those who are injured and disabled because of this, I will not ignore them, all those who are injured in the line of duty, my Song royal family will take care of them, and the families of the deceased will also take care of them.

The reason why I spent so much time is to tell the people of the Great Song Dynasty that you are born as a person of my Great Song Dynasty, and you are also a ghost of my Great Song Dynasty when you die. I want everyone who has their hearts to my Great Song Dynasty to be able to contribute their own strength to the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty without any worries.

Now, let's work together to build a truly strong Song Kingdom, so that our children and grandchildren can truly enjoy peace forever! ”

Zhao Zhen said that he was deeply affectionate, raised his arms excitedly, and looked down at the people under his feet, and he was almost moved by his inferior performance. However, the people in the square did not seem to buy his account, and watched him alone on the high platform one by one.

And at this moment, Yang Jinhua, who was standing in the military formation in a general's uniform, saw that his man was actually cold, and the anger value in his heart soared rapidly, reaching the Baihui acupoint.

She stomped her feet, ran out of the queue quickly, ran to the high platform, knelt down, and shouted: "Swear allegiance to the emperor!" Swear to serve the court to the death! Defend the country to the death! ”

"Swear allegiance to the emperor ......"

"Swear to Serve the Imperial Court ......"

"Defend the country to the death ......"

……

After she took the lead in shouting, all the military representatives who participated in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony also knelt on one knee and roared wildly. At first, the sound was cluttered and faint. But before long, the sound spread like a plague through the crowd, slowly converging into a torrent.

Seeing the kneeling crowd spreading from under his feet into the distance like a wave, Zhao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly lowered his arm, and quietly winked at Yang Jinhua. And Yang Jinhua also returned his two big teeth, and the two of them completed a silent exchange in full view of everyone.

Then, Zhao Zhen returned to his seat and nodded to Xiao Shunzi.

Xiao Shunzi bowed to Zhao Zhen, walked quickly to the front of the stage, took out the holy decree from his cuffs, and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the commander of the Qilin Wei made the command of Zhe Weizheng in front of the battle, thwarted the invasion of the Liao army, and made outstanding achievements, and was specially promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and awarded a 'Silver Medal of Courage for Defending the Country'." Di Qing, the deputy commander of Qilinwei, killed Xiao Xunbu, the king of the Northern Court of Liao, formed a formation and captured 10,000 cavalry of the Liao army, captured tens of thousands of horses, and made great achievements, and was specially promoted to the rank of major general, and awarded a 'Silver Medal of Courage for Defending the Country'. In addition, the commander of the 1st Qinglong Army, Zhi Jixuan, the commander of the 2nd Qinglong Army, Meng Liang, the commander of the 3rd Qinglong Army, Qi Luosheng, the commander of the 4th Qinglong Army, Huo Wangxi, the commander of the Qinglong 4th Army, Xiahou, the commander of the 1st White Tiger Cavalry, Meng Kunlun, the commander of the 1st White Tiger Army, Gao Zhan, the commander of the 3rd White Tiger Army, Xiang Jie, the commander of the 4th White Tiger Army, Wan Shou, the commander of the 1st Garrison Army, Zhe Haichao, the commander of the 2nd Garrison Army, Jiao Zan, the commander of the 3rd Garrison Army, Gao Jiyuan, and the captain of the Shenji Battalion Huben Brigade, are hereby awarded for your outstanding performance on the battlefieldA 'Bronze Medal of Courage for Patriotic Courage'. In addition, all the soldiers who participated in the war will be rewarded according to the attack, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts and achieve better results. Chin this! ”

Xiao Shunzi took the holy decree and chattered for a while, but because the threat of the frontier was not completely lifted, and Li Yuanhao was making trouble in the palace, all the honored soldiers could not come in person. After obtaining Zhao Zhen's consent, all the representatives sent by them received them on their behalf, and Zhi Weizheng and Di Qing naturally let Yang Jinhua, who had the largest official position in the team, receive them on their behalf.

At this time, the sky was really dark, and the torches everywhere were lit, and many people were ready to leave, just waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, they could go home to sleep and do exercise.

However, they guessed wrong, Zhao Zhen was still sitting there, as if he had no intention of leaving. The emperor didn't move, the ministers didn't move, and the timid people didn't dare to move, who knows if the seemingly kind security guards and officials next to them will show their fox tails, or bear with it a little longer!

No, the youngest Chen Shengzhi began to muttered again: "I thought this prisoner sacrifice ceremony was so lively, I pulled them out and walked around after a long time." Alas! I knew that I wouldn't come, this is a waste of time, not to mention, I have to suffer from cold and hunger in this winter, and I am sad to urge! ”

Tang Jie: "Be quiet! Beware of people accusing you of a great disrespectful crime! ”

Chen Shengzhi grimaced at him, Wu Yu smiled slightly when he saw this, and said, "Uncle Yang is right

It's a bit chilly! Do you meet the two of you today, why don't you find a place to rub together? ”

"Good, good! This can be there! Chen Shengzhi said happily.

Tang Jie: "It's an honor! ”

Wu Yu: "I don't know if you two have any good things to recommend?" ”

Tang Jie: "Little brother really doesn't have any research in this area, but, Uncle Yang, you are usually quite interested in eating, why don't you talk about it?" ”

Chen Shengzhi: "What's so difficult about this! I know of a hot pot restaurant called Xiang Piao Wanli, which is steaming hot and delicious, just in time for such a cold season! Would you like to go? ”

Tang Jie looked at Wu Yu: "Brother Chunqing, what do you think?" ”

"Then let's listen to Uncle Yang!" Wu Yu nodded and said.

The three of them had just quietly discussed the future itinerary, and on the high platform, Wang Shenli stood up again under the instruction of Zhao Zhen and shouted next to the loudspeaker: "Hello everyone! This is the end of today's prisoner sacrifice meeting! Thank you again for coming and seeing this cold winter. I know you're cold and hungry right now, and you must be thinking about going home early to eat and sleep. In order to repay you for your hard work in this hour and a half, on behalf of me, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Research Institute, I will show you our latest research results, please cheer up, open your eyes, and wait for the miracle to happen! ”

After Wang Shenli finished speaking, he walked up to Zhao Zhen and whispered, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

Zhao Zhen bowed his head and followed Wang Shenli to a corner of the high platform, where there was a small table covered with a yellow cloth. After arriving there, Wang Shenli took the first step and slowly uncovered the yellow cloth, and an object similar to a small guillotine appeared in front of everyone.

Then, in everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhao Zhen stretched out a hand and slowly flicked the guillotine, and at the moment when the guillotine touched, a small string of fire flashed.

This scene is not unfamiliar to many people in the capital, and a few years ago, Zhao Zhen also performed a similar "spell" at night.

However, the truth is not that it is just a spark as everyone thinks.

At the moment when the sparks appeared, the wooden stakes standing on both sides of the street suddenly burst out with dazzling light, like stars falling to the ground, illuminating the entire Donggan family as if it were daytime.

At the end of this "Avenue of Stars", a five-storey cement building was immediately removed from the curtain, and many light bulbs on it radiated brilliant brilliance under the refraction of glass, like the finishing touch, which deeply attracted the attention of the general public.

In particular, the building is composed of several big words composed of light bulbs - Treasure Pavilion, which deeply "pierced" everyone's hearts on this magical night. (To be continued.) )
