Ling Yi's team traveled all the way south, and the people who heard that the escort was the remains of the martyrs were all over to pay their respects.

Of course, there are many martyrs' orphans who came to recognize each other, but unfortunately these remains can no longer tell who is who, Ling Yi can only ask Hou Aoxuan to register carefully, and check them one by one in the list of people who have died in battle over the years provided by Wei Zhi.

However, there are still many martyrs who have not found the names of their relatives, and perhaps many soldiers cannot return to their hometowns.

As Jizhou gets closer and closer, especially after leaving the original Tongcheng yesterday, it only takes half a day to arrive in Jizhou. At this time, Ling Yi was a little evasive and did not urge the team to move forward quickly.

Looking at Ling Yi's somewhat gloomy face, Sun Ze and the others didn't disturb Ling Yi, they knew what Ling Yi was thinking, they couldn't help, and they didn't know how to relieve Ling Yi, so they could only follow him silently.

Therefore, the original half-day journey, the team did not reach the imperial capital Qingcheng, and under the dark, Ling Yi stationed the team not far from Zhenlong Mountain.

During this period, many officials came to urge, because several princes greeted the remains of the martyrs outside the city gate for a whole day, but the team was actually stationed here, which made many officials very frightened and came to urge again and again.

The most excited is the Taichang Temple Shaoqing who came from the Ministry of Rites, Tian Li. He was in charge of the priest of the ancestral shrine, and he presided over the memorial affairs this time. He has been busy for three or four days, and today he can finally welcome the remains of the martyrs into the royal mausoleum, and tomorrow at noon, he can hold a memorial service, but he has long accompanied the second prince to wait outside the city gate, who knows, it is dark and there is no one in sight.

Although the second prince didn't say much, he knew that if he didn't do well in this memorial service, his career would come to an end!

Therefore, in the moonlight, against the wind and snow, Tian Li came directly to the outside of Lingyi's camp.

Ling Yi was thinking in the camp tent when he heard a commotion outside, and asked the guards, "What's going on outside?"

A soldier hurriedly entered the account and replied: "Back to the minister's words, a guy outside who claims to be Shaoqing of Taichang Temple wants to see the minister, and we are afraid of disturbing your rest, so we will not report it, so we will argue." ”

"Well, I'll go and see, have any of the people outside say anything?" Ling Yi asked, getting up.

"This officer is very arrogant, and shouts that you should go out to meet him, and ask him nothing!" replied the soldier.

Ling Yi walked outside the tent, and just as he was about to go out, he heard a voice outside: "Where did the wild man come from, dare to make a loud noise in our army, first drag it out and beat fifty military sticks!"

Hearing that it was Wei Wentao coming, Ling Yi returned to his seat and sat down again, and said to the soldier just now, "Go and call my eldest brother and them over!"

"Yes!" the soldier ordered to leave.

There was still an argument outside, but before he could finish the three sentences, he heard the sound of fists and feet intersecting. Then, there was a cry of "whoops", and I don't know who was down, thinking that it was those officials in the capital who came, Ling Yi didn't believe that anyone dared to do anything in his team, and he could beat his own people to scream. You must know that these soldiers who have been on the battlefield and seen life and death will not cry out in pain even if they die!

After a while, Ling Yi knew who was crying out in pain, and saw a middle-aged fat man in a brocade costume who was carried into Ling Yi's tent by Wei Wentao.

The fat man struggled, like a turtle off the ground, which made Ling Yi laugh when he saw it.

"I said, Brother Wei, what are you doing here, why are you fighting against the court officials?"

Ah Hai, who followed Wei Wentao in, asked there, but he also carried the two officials in his hand.

Wei Wentao threw the person in front of Ling Yi and said, "This person is looking for you, let you go out to kneel to greet you, and I beat you up!"

Ling Yi asked curiously, "Kneel Ying, is he your royal person, such a great official?"

", although I don't look down on those royal children in Kyoto, there are no idiot royal children like him!"

The fat man who had just been brought in by Wei Wentao, when he heard the conversation between the two, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that there were royal children in this team, why didn't he know?

raised his head slightly, and quietly glanced at Wei Wentao, only to see the fat man get up in an instant, kneel down in front of Wei Wentao, and keep kowtowing: "Little prince spare his life, the slave doesn't know that it was you, and he collided with the little prince, please forgive me!"

Looking at the fat man who was kneeling towards him, Wei Wentao kicked away and said, "You get out of the way, I can't see you guys who are bullish and powerful, besides, what I said here doesn't count, spare you or not, you have to say it!"

The fat official followed Wei Wentao's point, and saw Ling Yi sitting on the right seat drinking tea, and wondered what kind of person this was, who could actually let the little prince of Prince Long's family dare to be his subordinate?

"Please spare your life, general!" Although Lingyi's identity and age were strange, in front of Wei Wentao, the little prince, he could only kneel and beg for mercy.

Ling Yi looked at this fat man who was shouting to let him kneel to greet him just now, and now he was kneeling and begging him to spare him, which felt funny.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" asked Ling Yi.

"The servant Taichang Temple Shaoqing Tian Li, this time is in charge of the memorial ceremony, because the general did not arrive at the scheduled time, so come and see, I don't know if there is anything I can help with?"

Wei Wentao looked at this flattering Tian Li, walked over and kicked again, and said: "Didn't you say that just now, didn't you ask Wu Lingyi to kneel to greet you, a fourth-grade official?

"Don't dare, the slave doesn't dare!" The fat man Tian Li lay on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

"You get up first, I have something to ask you!" Ling Yi looked at Tian Li at Wei Wentao's feet and stopped Wei Wentao from continuing to kick and beat.

"Just kneel on your knees, general, please command!" Tian Li did not stand up, still kneeling in front of Ling Yi.

"Is this the servility of the court officials?" Ling Yi thought to himself.

Thinking about it, Ling Yi then asked, "This place is only about ten miles away from Qingdu, why didn't anyone come to greet the remains of the martyrs?"

"This ......" Tian Li didn't know how to answer, it stands to reason that whether it is the triumph of the team or the remains of the soldiers, the empire should be greeted by a ten-mile long pavilion, but this time, not to mention the emperor's relatives, even ordinary officials and ordinary people did not see it, let alone the royal ceremonial soldiers.

"Don't be stumbling, answer quickly!" Ling Yi shouted.

"The slave doesn't dare to say it!" Tian Li knelt on the ground, not daring to answer.

Ling Yi frowned, and a dagger flew out and plunged directly in front of Tian Li, frightening Tian Li into a cold sweat.

"Don't you say it, this dagger is the murder weapon that kills you!"

Looking at the cold light on the dagger, Tian Li trembled, if he just faced Wei Wentao, he was just afraid of the royal family, then now he is afraid of death, as if, the next moment he will die in this tent!

"I, I, I said, ......" Unable to bear the fear, Tian Li trembled and spoke: "Actually, I don't know the specific things, I only know that this time the imperial court ordered the burial of these remains in the royal mausoleum, and they were buried in the back mountain of the cemetery!

"What do you mean by that?" Ling Yi suddenly stood up and looked at Tian Li viciously.

Even if Ling Yi doesn't understand Feng Shui, he also knows that the tomb can't be shaded, otherwise the people after entering the earth will not be at peace, I didn't expect the royal family to do such a thing this time.

"I don't know, such a large-scale memorial was not my turn to preside, I just obeyed the situation!" replied Tian Li lying on the ground.

"Why is this happening?" Ling Yi muttered, they desperately collected these remains, who knew that this would be the end, what was the difference between this and continuing to be in the city of burial grounds?

Sun Ze and the others were also indignant when they listened to it, even if they chose another cemetery site, they shouldn't be disrespectful to the deceased!

Looking at the appearance of these soldiers and generals, Tian Li didn't know how to answer, he wanted to stop talking, some words couldn't come out of his mouth, he had said enough today!

Ling Yi also saw that Tian Li still had something to say, maybe he didn't dare to say anything because he was afraid of something.

Seeing his scruples, Ling Yi nodded at Hao Jun and said, "Second brother, send these officials back to Kyoto, and we will leave tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" Hao Jun lifted Tian Li from the ground, and then instructed Ah Hai to carry the other two officials who were traveling with him, and then came out of the tent.

Ling Yi and the others were still in the tent, each of them was uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.

Sun Ze suddenly opened his mouth to Wei Wentao and asked, "Your royal family is really not a thing!"

"Hey, that's why I can't get used to these royal kids. Now it seems that my father will not know these things either!" Wei Wentao replied weakly.

"Uncle Wei naturally won't know, otherwise he will definitely not agree!" Ling Yi agreed, and said: "If the expectation is not bad, His Majesty the Emperor just wants to use this memorial to raise morale and inspire the people, he may not care about the remains of these martyrs, and he doesn't even plan to rescue them, it's just Uncle Wei's wish!"

"Hey, as the old saying goes, 'the most ruthless emperor's family', through the third prince Wei Yun and this incident, I can be regarded as a real understanding!" Sun Ze took out a bottle of sorghum wine and drank it by himself, and said while drinking: "The struggle for imperial power may still be an internal struggle within the royal family, and we have no right to interfere." But for the soldiers who expanded their territory and defended their homeland, such a move by the royal family really chilled the hearts of the soldiers!"

"Who says it's not? My uncle emperor doesn't know what he's thinking, even if he uses this opportunity to boost morale, it doesn't matter, but I can't even stand these methods below, you must know that these are soldiers who have shed blood and sweat for the empire!" Wei Wentao also complained.

"Maybe I already know why!"

Hearing Hao Jun's voice, everyone looked at the entrance of the tent.

I saw Hao Jun and Ah Hai walking in from outside the tent, their faces full of anger, but they looked at Ling Yi worriedly.
