In the past, the Dayue Taimiao, which was magnificent and solemn and had a high status, has now become a ruin.

I saw broken walls, broken rocks, and weeds growing from the ruins.

Sun Ning and many courtiers and generals stood in front of the original main hall of the Taimiao, and many people could not hide their panic and guilt, but Sun Ning, who was the real party, looked calm, so that people could not see joy and anger.

This is not only because he has actually changed people a long time ago, so he naturally doesn't pay too much attention to the gods of the ancestors of the Sun family, etc., but also because he has already expected it.

It is said that Luoyang has fallen to the capital of the rebels of the Pingtian Army for more than ten years, even if they are somewhat restrained, they will inevitably make a series of excesses when they take this Dayue capital.

The palace is too eye-catching, and there are too many coveted gold and silver treasures hidden in it, so it can escape the catastrophe - but even so, because no one has lived and taken care of it for many years, in fact, this former Dayue Palace has long been out of shape, so that Sun Ning, the real palace owner, can only temporarily live in the backyard of the Great General's Mansion to this day.

And this Taimiao, which symbolizes the majesty and identity of the Sun court, has naturally become the target of the key attack, how can it escape the chaos?

Therefore, its destruction is completely reasonable and expected, and it is naturally impossible for Sun Ning to have any excessive emotional fluctuations, but he just has a slight emotion in his heart.

In the whole of Luoyang, everything else has not changed much in more than ten years, only the imperial palace and the Taimiao, the two most noble places in the past, are now completely in ruins.

He was emotionally stable, but the courtiers around him obviously didn't think about it, and as Sun Ning was silent, they became more and more uneasy.

Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure and took the lead in kneeling down and pleading: "It's the incompetence of the ministers who failed to protect the Taimiao for His Majesty and the imperial court, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender the guilt!"

"The ministers are incompetent, please punish your majesty for their crimes......" The others immediately fell to their knees.

Sun Ning came back to his senses at this time, smiled bitterly, and helped Xiao Kedi in front of him nearby: "What did you say, this is not your responsibility, how can I blame you for the meritorious heroes? Get up......

Seeing that the emperor was indeed not very angry, the courtiers were a little relieved, thanked him, and then said, "Then the Taimiao must be rebuilt as soon as possible."

"You're right, this matter can't be delayed, it's more important than the palace." Sun Ning also nodded. He has long understood this, as the so-called major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, the temple and the society are completely one. Only when the Taimiao Temple was rebuilt meant that the Dayue Imperial Court regained control of the world.

After a pause, he added, "But I don't want to waste more people's strength and bring unnecessary burdens to the people, so I will leave all the rebuilding of the temple and other matters to those captives. Let them atone for their rebellion by their works!"

This time, the Vietnamese army won a series of great victories, capturing many cities around Luoyang, killing many enemies, and the number of captured troops was also considerable.

In the past, there was a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China about how to deal with these surrendered troops, some of whom directly proposed to kill a number of them, some who wanted to absorb them into the official army, and some who wanted to send them back to their original places and serve the people again...... Look at the book

Among the several different opinions, the former was too fierce and really not the imperial court should do it, and the latter was too merciful to serve as a warning to future generations.

Now, let these captives work hard to build the temple and the palace, so that they can make up for their past mistakes with practical actions, but save their lives.

"Your Majesty is wise, and your ministers will obey your orders, and I will order them to do so later." Immediately, some officials spoke out in support.

Sun Ning nodded: "As for the materials for rebuilding the Taimiao Temple and the Imperial Palace, all of them are taken from the property of those wealthy families, and then the remaining property and fields, according to what I said before, all of them will be returned to the local people, and if there is any surplus, they will be added to the treasury."

"Your Majesty, Shengming, you love the people so much, it is really a rare benevolent monarch since ancient times......" The ministers heard the words and praised again.

Sun Ning smiled: "That's it, we have already decided on these things before, no

and shall say such flattering words. The top priority now is to stabilize Luoyang and its surroundings as soon as possible, so that all the people can re-recognize our Dayue court as the master, and they must not be allowed to have different intentions because of this.

"In this way, the world can be settled, and we can continue to go north with peace of mind, to recapture more lost areas north of the Yellow River, and truly rejuvenate our world."

The ministers once again only said yes, but some of them lowered their heads, and they were somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's measures to attach great importance to the people's will.

In their opinion, if the Dayue Imperial Court wants to work all day long, it depends more on those soldiers who are good at fighting and dare to fight, and the people can deal with it as long as they deal with it. After all, in a sense, these people in Luoyang and the surrounding areas are also guilty.

There is at least one thing that they can't exculpate, and that is being a thief.

Sun Ning also seemed to see what they were thinking, sighed slightly, and said, "Look at what are you doing over there, and under our feet?"

"Yes...... Grass?"

"Yes, grass. It is the most inconspicuous and cheapest weed in the world. On weekdays, they are so weak and useless, as long as I bend down and pull them out, I can quickly pull them out. Or put a fire and destroy one by one.

"But there is a poem that says, wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and grow...... Weeds are the most common and the most tenacious, but they are also the most tenacious, and they are the least likely to be eradicated.

"Even, how high up the temple was at the beginning suppressed them and cleaned them up, but in the end, it was still these most inconspicuous weeds that remained in the end.

"Just like in front of you, after the Taimiao Temple of my court was turned into ruins, weeds grew all over the courtyard. And a hundred years from now, there will be weeds on the grave."

Sun Ning's expression was quite sincere at this time, and he looked at the ministers in front of him: "Such weeds, just like the people of the world, inconspicuous and inactive, but no one can leave them, otherwise any government and court is a tree without roots, a boat without water, and there is a possibility of capsizing and dying at any time."

"The upheaval of the year 15 years ago has given us too many reminders, and I have learned enough lessons, so this time I am lucky to have another chance to ZTE Dayue, and I should pay attention to people's livelihood so that the people can live a better and more peaceful life. Ladies and gentlemen, although you are military generals, you are also important ministers of the court, can't you think of such a reason?"

The ministers were silent again, and finally came to their senses one by one, and they all bowed: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers should obey Your Majesty's will and treat the people of the world well."
