The martyrs who sacrificed for the purpose of "protecting the people" were naturally sacrificed in the Protector's Ancestral Hall, and most of them were soldiers who died in the army.

There are also some grassroots officials who died in accidents or died of overwork in various livelihood projects.

Jian Yong, as the envoy of Xuzhou Mansion, was also invited to observe the ceremony by the way, if he didn't say it in advance, at this scale, Jian Yong even suspected that he was going to sacrifice heaven and earth.

What surprised Jian Yong even more, and even "uneasy", was ......

Not only countless people in Jinling dressed and solemn outside the city that day, but even some people from other counties and counties in Yangzhou came spontaneously!

Jian Yong also made a special inquiry, it was really spontaneous, not forcibly recruited......

When welcoming back the martyrs, Bai Tu personally walked barefoot at the front, chanting the sacrificial words of Chu Ci and Wu Yun, and took the ceremonial officials and martyrs' families who held the tablets behind, and sent their tablets into the Protector's Ancestral Hall, and the surrounding people also sang the sacrificial words......

Feeling other people's emotions is Jian Yong's strength.

He could feel that at this time, the surrounding people and the families of the martyrs were not only mourning, but also reverence for the owners of these tablets, and the emotions of the families of these martyrs were also filled with pride......

and the most unsettling of Jian Yong, the crowd swelled with ...... Fight!

Not only the staff and courtiers of the General's Mansion, but even the people under his rule did not lose confidence in the General's Mansion because of the unfavorable war at this time, but were full of fighting spirit.

This fighting spirit reflected in Jian Yong's heart, and it became worried.

The people under the rule of the general's mansion in front of them are no longer like the tool people who are "squeezed" in the competition between the princes, but some of them were in the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu's northern expedition to the Huns.

This not only means that under the rule of the general's palace, the people's will is not dragged down by the unfavorable war, but also means that ...... There is no loss of people's power - no matter how much you emphasize "feelings", if the people have been injured and the people's power is overdrawn, it is difficult to have such a reaction!

It's like in the later period of Emperor Wu, the national strength withered, and it was useless to give the people chicken blood......

Bai Tu took the lead in leading the way, and after sending the Heroic Soul tablet to the Protector Temple, he began to give a speech on the high platform.

The entire square in front of the Protector Temple, the surrounding walls were designed with the problem of sound amplification and sound gathering in mind, and the dry shaft tunnel for sound transmission was also buried underground, plus Bai Tu used a copper giant sound barrel on the stage, as well as the sound amplification function of the battle armor...... Even if there are tens of thousands of people around, you can hear Bai Tu's words when it is quiet!

And what made Jian Yong sigh was that Bai Tu's speech was obviously spoken by these people, and there was no red tape, and the words and sentences were close to the folk vernacular.

"This year is the fifth year of Jian'an, on the way to support the Han family and fight for the people of Jingzhou, there are 1,762 soldiers who have fallen on the battlefield forever, and there are more than 500 of them, and they have not even been able to come back from the tomb......

However, I believe that their heroic spirits will not be blocked by thousands of rivers and mountains, and they have already returned to their hometowns, watching us continue to fight for the Han family and for the 'benevolent and loving people'!

In the water conservancy construction of Poyang Haiyang County of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is still such a group of people, who get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, surveying the local hydrological conditions, and even in order to find out the specific situation after the heavy rain, they took the risk of entering the rising water section to measure the flow rate after the heavy rain in Poyang on May 17......

Then Bai Tu talked about several examples of sacrifices in the line of duty, and these people were also moved into the Protector's Temple.

Jian Yong was almost certainly sure that although these stories were true, the way they were told must have been told in a way that made them sound more infectious.

Moreover, in the general's mansion, Jian Yong did see a different side from Xudu, Xuzhou, and other places in the world - feelings.

If the princes are divided today, nine times out of ten they attack each other for personal interests, and the army can be gathered, half of them rely on the heavy profits after victory, and half rely on forced persecution, and the grassroots generals are almost regarded as consumables, so it is naturally difficult to have any "feelings".

Although there are inevitably those who sincerely serve the people, there are very few officials at other levels......

Under the rule of the General's Palace, even if the filter is removed, from the officials to the people, the "feelings" are dazzling compared to other princes, and even compared to the Han Dynasty when it was strong!

Even if Jian Yong has always felt that his father-in-law is a person with feelings, who is sincerely for the people and the Han family, he is much more affectionate than Bai Tu, who can't see the true purpose of the individual at all.

However, under the rule of Xuzhou, it is more common to compare the general's mansion...... Far from it!

Is it relying on those troupes? What do you rely on? Relying on the "performances" of the white picture?

Jian Yong was also pondering in his heart, the reason for the success of the General's Mansion, but unfortunately he didn't know the point.

I always felt that what he saw seemed to help him, but at the same time, he felt ...... It shouldn't have such a big effect!

"May this year, the heroes who fought and sacrificed for the well-being of the people of the world, sacrificed for grassroots construction, and sacrificed for exploring new routes and new futures will be immortal! May the heroes who sacrificed for the 'benevolent and loving people' thousands of years ago and thousands of years from now be immortal! In an impassioned manner, Bai Tu ended his speech.

When Jian Yong used his ability to observe people and secretly observed the white picture, he originally wanted to see if he really served the country and the people as he said, or was he really "fake and true"......

However, because Bai Tu's mental power is too strong, Jian Yong can't see the clue at all - it was the same when he was face-to-face before, and the young man who used to be in Xuzhou who could easily "coax" to be happy has now made himself unable to see through!

This time, Bai Tu talked for a long time, and Jian Yong wanted to take a slow look.

It just so happens that the rules of the General's Mansion are not quite the same as other places, not only do they not need the people below to bow their heads, but they even encourage everyone to look at Bai Tu.

Unexpectedly, half an hour passed, and Jian Yong still couldn't see through it at all, but at the end of the day......

A dazzling seven-colored rainbow light suddenly erupted behind Bai Tu, shaking Jian Yong almost blind, and lowered his head and squeezed out a few tears!

The others didn't know what to do, especially Jian Yong, who was still surrounded by the staff of the General's Mansion, and when he saw the envoy of Xuzhou Mansion at this time, he actually ...... "Burst into tears" after his father-in-law's speech?

After a brief period of consternation, Jian Yong found a mixture of disdain, embarrassment and admiration, and threw themselves at him.

is worthy of being the messenger of Xuzhou Mansion, and he has a fight with that Sima Lang of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

And hard enough!

Even listening to the speeches of other people's lords, they can pretend to be so moved......

Squeezed one by one, and after finding that he couldn't cry at all, he looked at Jian Yong even more resentfully.

Jian Yong: ......

Jian Yong, who is good at reading emotions, soon understood what everyone was complaining about, and his heart became more and more aggrieved!
