282. Monument to the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty
Emperor Li Shimin was very fond of Jingwen, a monument to commend the emperor's merits. Although this is made of cement, it is high-end and high-end in this era, and it does not make people feel anything unusual. What's more, this can be built without spending much money, so that the emperor's heroism can be passed on to the people, so that it can be regarded as a good method. This mention made Li Shimin very happy, and he had already ordered people to do it. You even have to do your best, so that you can show your merits!
"Your Majesty, it's better to be like this, then we might as well build a monument to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty again to commend my heroes of the Tang Dynasty. However, these monuments are determined according to status, and the highest monuments can be three zhang high, and then the rest can be reduced as appropriate. And we should also build a martyr's shrine to include the soldiers who died in the battle for our Tang Dynasty from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, restrained in a huge monument, and then let them enjoy the incense offerings of the people of the past generations. In the future, all the soldiers who died for my Datang campaign can also be put in. And those who have special merits, or those who have a relatively high status, can also be commemorated with special monuments. This can make my Datang soldiers have a place to return to their souls, so that the people of all generations can remember the dedication of my Datang soldiers for the country for many years, and they have paid their precious lives for my Datang in the past few years! Jingwen said.
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, obviously thinking of something.
"Hey, there are a lot of soldiers who sacrificed for my Datang. Close, there is Dugu Yanyun, who died in battle when the Turks entered the Kou, and a little farther is Luo Shixin, who died in the hands of Liu Heimin. Even my sister, Princess Pingyang, has been on the battlefield for many years, but as a result, she worked hard as a woman for a long time, and finally left her with illness and died early. Princess Pingyang was less than thirty years old, but she died of illness. This is all because of the long battlefield, so it will be like this. Li Shimin suddenly said with some emotion.
Jingwen saw Li Shimin's appearance and knew that Li Shimin, the emperor, also had a weak side, so he was so excited. And Li Shimin no longer seems to be an emperor now, but a nostalgic person. However, this emperor is also a country on horseback, and naturally cherishes those famous generals in the past. Princess Pingyang, in particular, fought on the battlefield as a woman, so she died prematurely in the end. And Jingwen's words just now made Li Shimin seem to have touched his heart.
"Your Majesty, you can allocate a piece of territory for these fallen generals. Then build a memorial hall, and then build a monument, so that they can be remembered forever by the people of our Tang Dynasty! Jingwen immediately struck while the iron was hot and said.
"Okay, just do it!" Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin immediately wrote an edict, and then an edict about the construction of a monument to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty. But to Jingwen's surprise, the emperor didn't take it to Menxia Province, and read it out directly in front of many palace guards.
"Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!" Long live the Emperor! “
A group of veterans began to cheer, especially the soldiers of the Beimen Tun Army. It is now the founding period of the Tang Dynasty, and the North Gate Tun Army of Xuanwu Gate was when Li Yuan raised his army. The 20,000 soldiers who followed Li Yuan. And these soldiers have been in the army for generations, and their fathers are dead and their sons are the most loyal forces of the Li Tang Dynasty, and they are also the veterans who can appreciate the sacrifice the most. Either they have fought themselves. Either my father participated in the battle, and finally died in battle, and then he went up on top of it. Now that the emperor has announced the news, he is erecting a monument to those dead veterans. Usually only those famous generals can establish a monument, but now they can do it. How can you not make them happy? Since then, the soldiers' support for the emperor has been enough to reach a higher level.
And the province of Menxia also quickly passed this edict. Because the emperor has already announced it in public, can he still refute it? What's more, this is related to the dedication of all the veterans who fought for the country, of course, it must be gúò. If the officials of Menxia Province can't do it, then those veterans will have to go to the collective to find them bad luck. And this monument is the entire group of military attachés is benefiting, if they dare not pass guò, it is to offend the entire military attache and all the personnel, so they will definitely not dare not pass guò.
"Jingwen boy, well done! Very good! In the future, my old Cheng also wants to build a monument seven or eight feet high in this memorial hall, and then I can let future generations see my heroic appearance. My old Cheng was the first general of the Tang Dynasty back then, so it's not too much to ask for a monument seven or eight feet high, right? Therefore, of course, I Lao Cheng wants to let future generations know that I have shed blood and sweat for Datang, and I should enjoy eternal incense! Old Demon King Cheng also said rarely.
Many people rolled their eyes when they heard Cheng Yanjin's words. Obviously, this Cheng biting gold is shameless enough.
Jingwen saw Cheng Biting Jin's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart. I gave his daughter to that, will this guy know? Jingwen has been worried, but looking at the appearance of this old demon king Cheng, he may not know about this matter yet. Jing Wen is just hoping to delay for a while, so maybe he can come up with a way to make Cheng Yanjin, the old demon king, promise to marry her daughter!
However, this Cheng Biting Jin is really shameless, he actually proclaimed himself the first general of the Tang Dynasty, and said that he wanted a monument seven or eight feet high, which is probably second only to the emperor. However, everyone also knows that this Cheng Yanjin is an open-mouthed guy, so naturally he won't bother with him. And everyone can't help but scruple in their hearts, they will be able to use a monument a few feet high when the time comes. Because isn't this a thing to show your status? This also represents the conclusion of his life's coffin, who doesn't care about this? Therefore, everyone is trying to find a way to make meritorious contributions, so that they can make their monuments higher in the future.
And in the future, I am afraid that there will be a peak of the Tang Dynasty's territorial expansion, so those alien races may be unlucky. Because the generals of the Tang Dynasty want to gain honor, they naturally have to use the blood of those alien races to forge it, so those alien races can only be attacked. Anyway, these alien races are not wronged, and they often raid the border of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there is nothing to say about being attacked now. (To be continued......)
