Chapter 23: The emperor is affectionate, but the heir is ruthless

With the help of three medicinal herbs, Zhao Yun quickly woke up, but his whole body was weak and he couldn't use force for a month or two.

This also made Li Tang relax, as long as the person is well, everything is fine.

Wars, in the final analysis, are triggered by huge conflicts of interest, so, after the end of each war, the victorious side has more or less gains, territory, finances, fame.

The victory in the Battle of Fengluo City brought Li Tang the most fame, and after the war, he made a fortune, and his achievement points and prestige points increased rapidly.

So far, the achievement points have exceeded 130 points, and the fame points have reached 24,000 points, a record high.

Fame points, he didn't move, but the achievement points were all given to Zhao Yun to help him break through the realm, because when he broke through the realm, he could recover the injuries on his body.

He really couldn't bear it, Zhao Yun lay in bed for a month or two.

The powerful function of the system was highlighted again, and in just one day, Zhao Yun successfully broke through the martial spirit, got up early in the morning, and brandished a bright silver gun in the courtyard, sweeping the fallen leaves, and making a fist.

Although the war has caused the people of Fengluo City to lose many family members, but the deceased has passed away, people still have to look forward, if they have been living in the shadow of the past, how can they taste the taste of life, sweet and sour!

Maple Fall City is invaded without any fault.

In the past few days, all the soldiers who died on the battlefield were buried, and the generous subsidies were distributed to the relatives of the deceased.

"The general died in a hundred battles, the strong man returned in ten years, now the maple fell into the city, more than 15,000 people died in battle, people are inherently dead, or lighter than the feathers, or heavier than Mount Tai, sacrifice for the city, this death can be said to move the heavens, heavier than Mount Tai!"

"Their death is to protect the family behind them, loyalty and filial piety, worthy of respect, cherished, the city lord order, the full name is Dai Xiao for five days, prohibit any happy events, on the ninth day of this month, hold a sacrifice!"

The announcement issued by Li Tang was posted on the notice board, and people were sent to spread it all over the city, and in just half a day, there was no other color in the whole city, wearing filial piety clothes, looking for flowers and willows, taverns, and shops were all closed, and the military flag was lowered by half, so as to pay tribute to the dead martyrs.

In the early morning of the ninth day, the atmosphere of solemn mourning infected the heavens, and a misty drizzle actually fell, and the raindrops were like pearls, dripping on the surface of the river, stirring up bursts of ripples, and like whips, whipping the roofs and treetops, making a gurgling sound, and thousands of threads, sewing the sky densely together.

The sacrificial site, a nine-story platform built outside Fengluo City, is 20 meters high, covered with a white carpet, surrounded by military flags, and the handsome flag is halved.

Li Tang, accompanied by a group of subordinates, wearing a white filial piety suit and holding the Qiankun sword, walked step by step to the bottom of the nine-story platform, his clothes wet in the drizzle, and his shoes were stained with mud on the muddy road.

Put your hands together and bow under the platform as a sign of respect.

Yesterday, incense was burned to the Virgin, and the green mountains bowed like a crossbow.

After the ceremony, step by step on the platform, the mud-stained shoes, leaving visible footprints on the white carpet, blending into the sad environment, after many years, called, sage footprints!

Alone, walk on the platform, climb high and look into the distance, look around, surrounded by dense people, at least tens of thousands of people, under the white filial piety clothes, like a white ocean.

Two thousand cavalrymen, in the middle, with spears in their hands, standing on their chests, wearing white filial piety clothes over their black armor, and white satin tied on their horses, rode on their horses without making a sound.

"The sage's teaching, the gentleman's words, the eternal follow, the deceased is great, perform three salutes, to show respect, to comfort the dead!"

"Yili, died in the battle to protect the city, this is great loyalty!"

Li Tang took the lead in bowing, two thousand cavalry bowed on their horses, and tens of thousands of people bowed ninety degrees.

"Erli, died to protect your family, this is great filial piety!"

Tens of thousands of people bowed again, and the sound of weeping could be faintly heard, prompting tears.

"Three rites, there are sacrifices for the dead, Huangquan goes all the way, but Wan Shiping, the next life is rich and noble, go all the way!"

Loyalty and filial piety, only seeking a peaceful life in the next life, regrets in this life, and making up for it in the next life.

This is the three rites written by Li Tang, and the sacrifices held in each place are different, but in general, they are to send the soul back to heaven.

At this point, the sacrificial ceremony is over!

"Spring rain moistens the soil, autumn is abundant!"

The drizzle seemed to be endless, Li Tang rode on the horse, felt the coldness on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Today is the last day to commemorate the dead, and although many people are still very sad in their hearts, they are hiding their sadness, cleaning up their feelings, facing tomorrow, and the spring flowers are blooming.

The next day, the people went out to farm, the merchants opened the market, and everything went in the expected direction.

But the outside world is turbulent, magnificent, the battle of Fengluo City can be said to be the largest battle in the Qingxiao country in ten years, immediately attracted great attention, faintly seen, the crisis of the struggle for storage to cover up, the limelight.

In the princess's mansion, Gong Bingxue had just finished washing, wearing a light veil, faintly revealing snow-white skin, sitting elegantly on the edge of the bed, with her slender fingers crossed, listening to the housekeeper's report on Li Tang.

"Interesting, with a defeat of 60,000 troops, it seems that my fiancé is not as incompetent as he imagined. ”

Gong Bingxue's bright red lips were slightly curled, revealing snow-white teeth, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, combining a smile and gloom, I don't know whether to be happy or angry.

"Princess, the colt is so talented, he can definitely help the princess. Seeing this, the housekeeper said happily.

"Smack!"

The loud sound of slapping the table, the butler was startled, and he heard Gong Bingxue's cold voice: "If there is no him, the throne is at your fingertips, how can it be as complicated as now, you go down! ”

"Yes, princess!"

The housekeeper who knew that he had said the wrong thing wished he had left early.

When the room was empty, Gong Bingxue whispered, "It's time for my good brother to have a headache!" ”

Gong Bingxue guessed correctly, Gong Xuanwu, Gong Xuanzhi, Gong Xuanyin, and Gong Xuanbin all played together, for the crime of treason, killing the court officials, and requesting that Li Tang be killed, calm the anger of the heavens and people, and stabilize the government and the opposition.

The king did not agree to this recital, but rejected it and severely criticized several princes.

"It's the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other!"

In just ten words, several princes trembled, could this be a warning from their father, they had made too much trouble during this time?

However, the open means could not be used, but the secret means were continuous, and several princes gathered their staff overnight to discuss ways to deal with Li Tang.

They were scared in their hearts, Li Tang's talent shocked them, they were originally Mianyang, but suddenly turned into a tiger, plus Gong Bingxue, the lion, the combat power that burst out, made them worried.

The ancient emperors were the most ruthless, but who knows, the emperor is affectionate, the heir is ruthless, and under the temptation of the throne, killing his father and killing his brother often happens.
