Chapter 1045: Tears of the Times

Here, there are no extravagant and expensive funerary goods, some are just a coffin, some are just small tombstones and mausoleums, and there are countless people buried with him in small places.

Here, there is no feng shui, no various burial rules, only their ashes that turn into flames with their lives.

Here, there is no beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters, and there are only rows of neat tombstones, just like the tall posture that once stood in front of them.

Here, there are no tombstones and tombs that show his identity, and some are just simple and unpretentious, and they are different from other people's standard tombstones and tombs.

However, although there are no luxurious and expensive funeral goods here, there are robes that they once fought together.

However, although there is no feng shui here, it is because this place itself is feng shui! Even if they have the last remaining ashes, their heroic spirits will still protect Datang.

However, although there is no beautiful scenery here, there are countless flowers to commemorate them, and people come and go, and they will tell them about the changes in the Tang Dynasty.

Finally, although there are no tombstones and tombs that highlight his identity, there is a spirit that is remembered by countless people of the Tang Dynasty, and this spirit will always float and inherit here!

The hustle and bustle of the day finally dissipated, the crowd of funerals gradually dispersed, and in the twilight of the setting sun, there was no one else here except for the 1,000 rotating guards stationed at the mausoleum.

The setting sun shone on the four new tombstones, and the wind blew through the trees in the cemetery, making a rustling sound, as if the countless robes around them were comforting the new brothers.

Don't be afraid, we're here, you're going home.

The new handwriting on the tombstones was still new, like the new spirit they had brought into the place, and behind them, rows of empty spaces were still there, and perhaps no one wanted the new arrivals here.

However, there are bound to be new people here.

Until these four new tombstones gradually became one of the countless tombstone groups, and eventually, turned into a simple handwriting, so that later generations can only understand their stories from books and stone carvings, and guess and imagine their magnificence and waves back then, but they can no longer experience that mood.

can only finally put away the respect in his heart, and then turn it into a sentence of praise and tribute in his mouth.

Life will go on eventually, and there may be more and more people who will forget them, but they will never forget this land, and they will always guard this place and the people on it.

Until one day, when this land suffers another calamity, their spirit will be awakened again, and the flag representing their spirit will once again fly on this land.

That's legacy! In the end, all these things are condensed and then turned into two heavy words - civilization!

……

Li Shimin woke up with a smile, maybe it was a bit cruel and a little unkind to say this, but in the days when his brother had just died a few days ago, he actually woke up with a smile.

But he did wake up laughing, because he dreamed last night that he knew that Li Ke had decisively given that series of orders after being sad for a long time.

It's hard to imagine Li Shimin's mood at that time.

All people are human beings, the emperor is also human, and the emperor also has seven emotions and six desires.

But as a person who wants to lead a country forward, you must endure what ordinary people can't bear, you must control your emotions, and you must have a calm mind at all times.

Li Ke did it.

Most importantly, he did not question his own decision because of this matter. This is good.

If you don't feel this heaviness in this position, when your words and deeds affect the lives of countless people, you can feel the heaviness when you have a little sense of responsibility.

Of course, there's no problem if you want to be a complete dumbfounder, but there will always be someone who pays for everything you do, maybe it's your children and grandchildren, maybe it's yourself.

So Li Shimin is very happy, isn't it a thing to be happy that the future of Datang can have such a wise monarch? If Eleven Lang had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely be happy.

And in addition to this incident, on the second day of Li Yuanjia's burial, Li Shimin received several voluntary applications, several of his younger brothers, who took the initiative to apply to enter the Tang Army as an ordinary person for training.

is not only Li Shimin's younger brother, but also Li Su, Li You, Li Yun, and Li Zhen.

Several young people from other clans wrote their own applications.

The day after their brother and uncle died, they submitted their applications.

Li Shimin was relieved and of course happy at the same time, because he finally found out that the clans, princes, and princes of the Tang Dynasty were not useless! They also have courage, and they also have the courage not to be afraid of death or hardship.

So can Li Shimin not be happy? Of course he was happy!

So Li Shimin directly agreed to everyone's application with a wave of his hand, including his own son! There's nothing to disagree with, there's nothing to worry about, in this world, even if you walk on the road, you can fall to death, accidentally fall into the lake and drown, and even choke to death if you eat.

If you are afraid of death, don't be born.

The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, even if he is not vigorous, then he must do something and not do something! It's not as good as a rat in the field!

Li Shimin not only agreed to these applications, but also directly issued a holy decree to Datang Weekly, asking Datang Weekly to publish the news and directly announce it to the world.

Let the people of the world see that the princes of the Tang Dynasty are also men.

The change in Chang'an City was the fastest, but it was just like what Li Shimin thought at the beginning, and it was also as Li Ke expected. When Li Yuanjia's sacrifice was woven through the entire Datang Dynasty with the "Datang Weekly", it was like a catalyst.

If Li Ke's various measures at the beginning and the honor system established for Datang made this system gradually take root in the hearts of the people and gradually exert its influence, then Li Yuanjia's sacrifice is like a catalyst that completely accelerated the process for at least ten or twenty years.

It is like the scale on the scale in people's hearts, directly pressing one end high.

From this incident, the image of the Tang Army will gradually penetrate into the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the various behaviors of the Tang Army will gradually be integrated into the soul of the Tang Army.

This is the spirit, and they all end up condensing into a force that others cannot comprehend.

That's why Li Ke said that some things in politics are always cruel, because of this incident, Li Yuanjia sacrificed, such a tragic thing is a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty, it greatly stabilizes all kinds of instability caused by Li Ke's reform process.
