Chapter 1040: The Heaviness of Power

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked, they could imagine what kind of situation it was.

At the last moment of his life, their regimental commander opened the hope of life for this child with his own life!

He used his bones to prop up the collapsed walls, roofs and other heavy objects.

With a "wow", the three young soldiers who were still holding back just now cried directly this time.

All the onlookers were red-eyed, many of those villagers also shed tears, and Zhang Goudan's family was also crying bitterly, I don't know why.

Until an old and hoarse voice sounded: "God, Your Highness, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Zhang Dog's father knelt on the ground and let out a howling sound, and then before everyone could react, he stood up directly, limping his leg and slamming into a big rock next to him with unprecedented agility.

In the last time, he even pounced on the whole person, and before everyone could react, with a "bang", Zhang Dog's father Zhang Cripple had already hit his head directly on the boulder.

Bright red blood splattered all over the stone in an instant, and a large piece of his skull was directly sunk into it.

This scene stunned everyone, and the two women in Zhang Goudan's family cried a little louder in an instant. The political commissar who reacted immediately said loudly: "You guys, control them, don't let them do stupid things again!" ”

The soldiers next to him immediately surrounded all the people in Zhang Goudan's family.

Zhang Goudan stuffed the child he had just rescued in his arms to his mother-in-law, then stood up and said with a calm face: "Sir, can you collect the body of your father?" ”

"Zhang Dogan!" The political commissar could see his mental state at a glance, and without saying a word, he yelled directly.

"You're still not a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you're still not a man?"

"Yes!" Zhang Goudan blushed and said loudly, if yesterday he didn't understand what Datang's soldiers meant, but today, he understands!

"Okay, you stand there and listen for me, and all the folks! I'm sad that something like this happened, but who are we? The commissar shouted.

"Tang soldiers!" The surrounding soldiers almost all shouted loudly in unison.

"Yes, we are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the army of the people of the Tang Dynasty! Why are we here? We are here to save you! Otherwise, why did we come here yesterday in the rain and on the mountain road? We can leave you alone. ”

"Why did our regimental commander save this child with his own life at the end of his life? Because this is the responsibility of being a Datang soldier! It is our responsibility to defend the country and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Maybe yesterday it was because Zhang Goudan's father was unwilling to leave that caused this tragedy, but I can understand you, because this is your home! We never blamed anyone! For we are all children of the people! We also have parents, wives and children! ”

"Whether it is dying on the battlefield or saving the people in danger, this is our fate! It's our honor! ”

"Yesterday we didn't say sacrificing a person, if yesterday because of saving you, our whole regiment did not withdraw and was swept away by the torrent, we would have no regrets! If the regimental commander had lived, he knew that this would be the end in the end, and I am sure he would have made the same choice! ”

"If you feel guilty, live well! Live with the hope of our regimental leader! Raise the child to adulthood, and let him become a member of the Datang army in the future! Go and save more people in the Tang Dynasty! ”

"If you are grateful, pass on this courage!"

"You feel guilty and upset, but I'm going to tell you a fact today! Do you know who our head is?! The commissar asked loudly, looking at the people around him.

Without waiting for them to answer, the political commissar directly spoke loudly: "He is not an ordinary person, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the younger brother of His Majesty today!" ”

The words of the commissar stunned everyone!

The prince of the Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty's younger brother? To save a common man's child?! They did not think that it was fake, because apparently the commissar could not have lied.

The soldiers were also stunned, no wonder their regimental commander knew so many stories between the powerful, it turned out that he himself was.

"Until why did he hide his identity and become an ordinary lieutenant? Because he told me that he hoped that one day when he died on the battlefield or saved the people of Datang, he would be a Datang soldier. ”

"If his status as a prince is known, then they won't let him take risks, and they won't treat him equally."

"But this is not his pursuit, he said, as the prince of Datang, as a part of the Tang royal family, he also has a responsibility!"

"As His Royal Highness King Qin said, the Tang royal family is a royal family established by the people of the Tang Dynasty, so it should fight for the people of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives!"

"Now, Zhang Dogan, do you understand?!" In the last sentence, the commissar turned back to Zhang Goudan.

"Understood!" Zhang Goudan roared loudly with the greatest strength in his life.

"Good! is a man, if you don't want the prince to sacrifice in vain, just live well, take your family to live well, so that the spirit of the prince in the sky can rest in peace! Don't let your father's tragedy happen again! ”

"Everyone! Salute to the Tang Dynasty and Zhang Cripple! The commissar yelled again.

With a "swish", all the soldiers stood up and saluted!

Zhang Goudan also clumsily learned that they saluted a brand new military salute, and the ordinary people around him silently bowed in the direction of Li Yuanjia's body!

When the salute was over, the political commissar had a stretcher made, and then he and several people gently dug Li Yuanjia's body out of the soil, then scrubbed his face clean and put it on the stretcher. The other villagers used to help Zhang Goudan collect his father's body.

"Commander...... We...... Go home! The tears that the commissar had been holding back for a long time finally fell.

With red eyes, the eight warriors carried him on their shoulders and walked outside.

The news was transmitted from Qinling to Chang'an City at the fastest speed.

When Li Ke received the news, he was stunned.

His brain is empty, Li Yuanjia sacrificed? This history lived to be seventy years old before dying, and died at the age of less than 20 now?!

Li Ke was silent, he brought countless changes to Datang, he changed the fate of countless people, but Li Ke never thought that the fate of a person so close to him would change so significantly because of his appearance.

He felt a heaviness again, a burden.

Once he just wanted to use various policies to make the people of the Tang Dynasty in this world live a better life, but now, Li Ke suddenly felt the pressure and weight.

He felt the situation encountered by countless martyrs in his previous life - reform is to kill people.

Li Ke understood the heaviness of this sentence for the first time, as a person in power, he could do one thing with a fluttering sentence. But if this goes wrong, it is foreseeable that countless people will pay a terrible price for it.

Even a prince like Li Yuanjia can't bear such consequences, what about the countless ordinary people? Can they afford it?
