Chapter 552: Shangyuan Sacrifice, Heroic Spirit Tablet
In this kind of weather of tens of degrees below zero, it is either snowy or cloudy, and it is really not easy to see the big sun.
"It's the ancestors of the heroic spirits, who are bless Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Ziyi's face showed joy: "The coming year will definitely be the year of your majesty and the Tang Dynasty!"
"You girl, you can make a fool of yourself!"
The empress is also happy, who doesn't like to listen to good words? What's more, the empress actually has this feeling in her heart.
It's esoteric, but it's also intuitive.
Suddenly, the empress frowned, and the red coat suddenly agitated, as if a gust of wind had set off in the tower, and even the purple clothes and green clothes not far away were blown around.
"Your Majesty?"
The two women were shocked.
"I'm fine. The empress shook her head slowly, and then said to herself, "Here we go again...... This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, I really don't know, I ...... How long can it last. ”
The two women looked at each other, a little surprised, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only keep this matter in their hearts, ready to find an opportunity to tell Lin Zifan, and let Lin Zifan find out by the way......
Not long ago, the two of them may have thought that they were the closest people to the empress, but since Lin Zifan, they know very well that now, in the world, the closest person to the empress is none other than the future prince......
"Let's start preparing, inform the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the general mound will be combined. ”
The empress waved her jade hand lightly and asked the two girls to go to deliver the message.
"Yes, Your Majesty......" The two women took the order and left......
Immediately, the empress also moved lightly, wearing a silk of flesh that looked almost no different from her skin, and walked barefoot in the ice and snow!
From a distance, it seems that in the endless snow-white palace, there is a bright and brilliant red flower, which is moving away step by step, and it is extremely beautiful.
......
The general's mound is located on a hill dozens of miles northwest of Chang'an City.
As the name suggests, this place is the place where the names and bones of the soldiers who died in battle in the Tang Dynasty are buried!
The Tang Dynasty has been in war for many years, and every year there will be soldiers who die in battle, and even many people can't even bring back their bones......
Therefore, in addition to burying the corpses of soldiers, the general's mound has another use, that is, to leave a name!
After the soldiers fought and died outside, even if they could not bring back the corpses and set up graves, at least, they should leave their wisdom behind and let future generations admire them!
"Your Majesty?"
Outside the general's mound, Lin Zifan and the empress converged, and he obviously felt that the empress's interest was not very high.
"Hasn't the Manchu Dynasty yet arrived?" the empress frowned, then looked at the not-so-tall mountain in front of her, and whispered, "Let's go with me......"
"It's an honor!" Lin Zifan naturally would not refuse, and nodded in response.
The two were side by side, Xu was worried that Lin Zifan would feel cold, and with a wave of the empress's jade hand, the fiery red daze suddenly covered it, enveloping Lin Zifan in it, and the two of them were draped together.
In this way, the distance between the two is naturally closer, and because of the empress's strength, she will not feel too cold, so she is not thick.
Getting closer, Lin Zifan could even feel the warm heat on the empress's body, as well as the faint body fragrance.
This made him very moved, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab the empress's little hand, and walk hand in hand.
The empress also thought as usual that as a woman, she should take the initiative, so she still got rid of Lin Zifan's hand, and in turn grabbed the hand of this goods, and still walked side by side into the general's mound......
"I'll wait, I've seen Your Majesty!"
As soon as he stepped on the foot of the mountain, there was a sudden sound of shouting on both sides, the sound was loud, like the roar of a fierce beast, and it seemed that the god of war was in the dust!
The sudden shouting sound startled Lin Zifan, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was some disabled women, standing on both sides......
Their bodies were almost covered with snow, so they were not found at first. At this moment, their faces were revealed, and they looked full of heroism, and normal people could see at a glance that they were definitely soldiers who had been on the battlefield and won a hundred battles!
That kind of breath can't be hidden!
Standing there like a javelin, even if a leg is broken, it still stands straight, as steady as Mount Tai!
"Great work......"
The empress spoke softly, but she never stopped, and went up the mountain with Lin Zifan.
On the way to "Your Majesty's ......", Lin Zifan couldn't help but speak.
"Hmm. The empress responded lightly: "I want to ask why they are here?"
"That's because they're all crippled, old, and can't fight!"
"They have no children, no daughters, no relatives, no home, no home! They are veterans who have lost their value......
"And Datang is poor, the treasury is empty, and even the financial resources to let them spend their old age in peace are gone! Datang ...... Shame on them!"
"But they didn't complain at all, and even took the initiative to come to this general's grave, accompanied by many heroic spirits, and guarded the heroic spirits of their ancestors until they died ......of old age."
"I am ashamed ...... heart"
During the conversation, the empress stopped, Lin Zifan's heart was shaken, and he was shocked by the spirit of the veterans, for the country and the people, and dedicating his life without asking for anything in return......
On both sides, there are boundless graves at a glance, and the preliminary estimate is at least more than 100,000!
In the center of the tomb is a hollowed-out mountainside, and within the mountainside, there is a huge stone tablet, dozens of feet high!
On the stele, it is densely packed and almost engraved with names!
Some names are very neat, some names, there are flying phoenix dances, and some are very unfamiliar at a glance, as if they have been pieced together by someone one by one, and they can't even be recognized without careful identification.
"Valhalla!"
The empress spoke: "The soldiers who died in battle, their bones are gone, there are no children or daughters, and almost no one even knows their names except for their comrades......
"The people who leave their names are also their closest colleagues, some are literate, some are good, but many more can't even write their names......"
"After the war, under this heroic spirit monument, they carved the names of their comrades on the book one stroke at a time, just to let future generations remember the names of many heroic souls!"
After Lin Zifan heard this, he was in awe!
The general died in a hundred battles...... On the battlefield, the situation has changed abruptly, and I don't know how many will stay on the frontier forever.
But these ancestors and soldiers went forward one after another, casting a line of defense with flesh and blood, so that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was never plundered by half an inch, but after death, it was so desolate!
However, no one complained, and it is not admirable that later generations are still like this, passed down from generation to generation?
Whoa!
The wind suddenly poured into the cave, the snowflakes flew, the wind was like weeping, it seemed that many heroic spirits were crying, and it was as if the heroic spirits were roaring, wanting to return to that battlefield!
