I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 413 National Mourning
As soon as Liu Sheng said this, everyone understood the matter, and there was actually no room for discussion.

——Everyone is going to invite the Queen Mother. Is the opinion of the foreign court still important?
It is no exaggeration to say: it doesn't matter anymore.

Unless the empress dowager and the empress dowager want to refute the emperor's grandson/son's face in front of the foreign court, they will definitely push the boat along, or at least acquiesce to Liu Sheng's decision.

As for the reason, it is also very simple - Liu Sheng gave an irrefutable reason why he did this: the emperors of all dynasties gave knights to the people of the world if they had nothing to do, but I can't give knights to meritorious soldiers?
For the reason given by Liu Shengle, everyone present could not be said to be speechless, or at least irrefutable.

One thing: the matter of bestowing a noble is almost the same as which concubine the emperor is going to visit tonight.

Unless the identity of the recipient is a little sensitive, and the conferment of the nobility may arouse the anger of all the people and gods in the world, otherwise, the subject has absolutely no position and right to intervene.

What's more, the ones Liu Sheng wanted to award this time were the meritorious soldiers who had just won the Mayi victory, which made everyone present unable to refute.

——Emperor Lao Tzu wants to bestow meritorious officers and soldiers, but his ministers are dissuading him. What's the point?
——Want to stand on the opposite side of the samurai?

You must know that today, it is Liu Han who has a strong folk style and a strong national style!
The Song and Ming dynasty of the later generations emphasized the importance of civil and military affairs, and that the party is the same as the war against differences, which is completely unreasonable in today's Han Dynasty!
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons for a short period of time, the ministers and ministers present unanimously decided to keep silent on the matter out of both public and private considerations.

But at this moment, everyone present did not expect at all: Liu Sheng's seemingly whim-like move would actually have such a far-reaching plan hidden in it, and it would even have an extremely profound impact on the national destiny of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years...
·
In the second year of Tianzi Shengxin Yuan, on the first day of November in winter, a chariot and cavalry army composed of the Northern Army as the framework, and representatives of the Flying Fox Captain's Department arrived in Chang'an.

On this day, the attention of the entire Chang'an was focused on the Wei River outside the north wall of Chang'an City—actually on the Wei Bridge.

The army (representative) class teacher, coming from the north, must also enter the city from the north.

After confirming the news, I don't know how many people in Chang'an climbed the trees and walls outside the city on this day, wanting to see Wang Shi's demeanor.

——The main thing is that I actually want to see the Guanzhong soldiers who have returned from victory.

Under the attention of all the people, the people of Chang'an, as well as the people around Chang'an who received the news and came to see the excitement, witnessed two things that were far beyond the expectations of the people of the world.

One: Today's son Liu Sheng, followed by the emperor Lubo, who was placed by the official Fengchang Li, appeared in the northern suburb of Chang'an City, dressed in hemp mourning and wearing a filial belt on his head.

Second: The army of class teachers who slowly appeared every day were also dressed in white filial piety, and without exception, they were holding square boxes wrapped in white cloth and hanging around their necks.

After seeing all this, almost everyone exchanged glances with the people around them with puzzled expressions.

Even the vast majority of courtiers and officials who didn't know what was going on here began to chat in low voices among the crowd, as if they wanted to find out what happened to Liu Sheng in the scene before them.

Just waiting for someone to find out what-in fact, they really can't find out.

Before anyone could find out what was going on, the mourning music that rang out from the top of the city without any warning imprinted a brand new emperor's persona in the minds of everyone present without reservation.

Even after decades, there are still old people lying contentedly in their courtyards, saying to the chattering children and grandchildren beside them: Back then, the eldest father was still half a child;
Seeing His Majesty wearing mourning clothes, Eldest Father's tears didn't stop for a while...

"Scallion~ Shang~ Lu~~~"

"He~Yi~Xi~~~?"

"Lu~Xi~Ming~Chao~More~~~Fall~~~~~~"

"People~death~one~go~he~~~time return~~~~~~~·······"

boom~~~
boom~~~
Boom~~~·······
Bells and drums rang on the city wall, and in the tower directly above the Zhicheng Gate, hundreds of boys chanted this dirge in unison with immature voices.

——Scallion dew.

At the time of the Taizu Emperor Gao, Tian Heng, the descendant of Tian Qi, committed suicide after being recruited by Emperor Gao Liu Bang to prove his innocence;

And after Tian Heng proved his innocence by death, the five hundred disciples who followed Tian Heng, who were also the last backbone of the Mohist school, also followed Tian Heng after organizing Tian Heng's funeral.

Xie Lu was the elegy written by the five hundred disciples at that time—the five hundred sparks who carried the last hope of the Mohist school—for their Bole: Qi Wang Tianheng.

At that time, this incident caused a great sensation all over the world.

It's just that the Mo family - the Mo family who threw the last fire into Tian Heng's tomb, did not get the chance to become famous in the Han family because of this matter.

All that remains are the legend of the five hundred disciples who followed Tian Heng to death, and this elegy Xie Lu that has long been sung by the people of the world.

In the Han Dynasty today, elegy scallion dew has become an indispensable part of funeral ceremonies.

It's just that on formal occasions at the court level, the appearance of Xielu used to represent only one situation.

— National mourning.

The national mourning after the death of the emperor or the queen mother, the empress dowager...
"Jiujiu Wufu~"

"The minister of the country."

"——In the battle of Mayi, I lost thousands of humerus and arms!!"

"Country! Thousands of pillars and pillars have been lost!!!"

···
"Emperor Mu Mu lives at the height of the temple, far away from the center of Qin Dynasty;"

"Jiujiu Wufu, in the army, return the body wrapped in horse leather."

"—Alas, alas!"

"—Woohoo! Sad..."

The voice, which is so high-pitched that an extraordinary person can make it, quickly attracts the attention of the surrounding people.

Looking at the reputation, you can see the young emperor dressed in mourning, with a solemn face, fighting straight in the front room of the royal driver;
On both sides of the royal carriage, there are eight huge copper horns, which transmit the voice of the young emperor as far as possible, and spread it to as many people as possible.

After Yu Jia, the courtiers and officials standing on both sides of the straight road stared at Liu Sheng for a moment, then lowered their heads in secrecy.

——The three hundred boys on the tower are the boys who sang poems day and night in Gaomiao, which Emperor Taizu Gao loved so much and kept until now;

It is an unprecedented honor for the class teacher of the army to hold the funeral first and postpone the celebration.

And the emperor went out of the city gate in person, and greeted him in filial piety...
"Your Majesty, this is..."

"Want to mourn the whole country?"

After realizing that they had this thought, all the ministers and officials hurriedly shook their heads, throwing this crazy idea out of their heads.

--how is this possible?

National funeral, that is the gift of the Son of Heaven!

In addition to the emperor, only the empress dowager and empress dowager who are "honoured to the emperor" can afford it;

No matter how much Liu Sheng wants to win people's hearts, no matter how much he wants to express his importance to Wufu...

boom~~~
boom~~~
Boom~~~~~~
Just when all the officials were secretly convincing themselves that 'it won't be like this', the bells and drums that had already dispersed on the tower rang again.

And what happened next made the courtiers and officials helplessly accept a reality.

——The big guys guessed right;
Nowadays, I am afraid that I really want to mourn the whole country...

Under the watchful eyes of all court officials, princes and relatives, and tens of thousands of people, Tian Zisheng walked down from the front room of the royal driving, and immediately, like a nephew who took care of his elders, he folded his hands in front of his belly with sorrowful eyes, and even bowed slightly.

About three to five breaths later, the 'funeral team', who had already arrived at the other side of the Wei Bridge and was quietly waiting for the order, finally walked up the Wei Bridge one by one under the leadership of the chariot general Zhi Dude.

Almost at the same time when Zhidu stepped on the Wei Bridge, on the city tower, the obviously immature, yet inexplicably sad voices of the singing boys sounded again...
"How can I say no clothes~~~"

"Don't you mean no clothes?!"

"——Wang! Yu! Xing~ Master!!!"

"—Xiu! Me! Ge~ Spear!!!"

"—Same Enmity with Zi!!!"

"How can I say no clothes..."

···
"How can I say no clothes~~~"

"Don't you mean no clothes?!"

"——Wang! Yu! Xing~ Master!!!"

"—Xiu! Me! Spear~Halberd!!!"

"—Work together with Zi!!!"

"How can I say no clothes..."

···
"How can I say no clothes~~~"

"How can you say no clothes!!!"

"——Wang! Yu! Xing~ Master!!!"

"—Xiu! Me! Armor~Pawn!!!"

"—Walk with me!!!"

"How can I say no clothes..."

"It's called no clothes..."

Qin Feng's "No Clothes" sounded, and even the crowd watching couldn't keep calm anymore.

"Your Majesty..."

""No Clothes", but Qin Feng..."

"Is Your Majesty willing to do this for the sake of warriors..."

For younger people, what they think is whether it is a little inappropriate for Qin Feng's "No Clothes" to appear on the official occasion of the Han family;
But there are some older people who have already hidden their old faces behind the front of them, lowered their heads and secretly wiped away their tears.

More than 60 years have passed since the Qin Dynasty died and the Han Dynasty prospered;
But the people who have lived in Guanzhong for generations are actually old Qin people from decades ago.

Even Guanzhong was not called "Guanzhong" by people all over the world, but was called: Qinzhong.

For Qin, every old Qin person has very complicated feelings.

Among the people who are still alive today, the oldest group may hate Qin, or they may be dissatisfied with the first emperor Yingzheng who used it like a penny and discarded it like a shoe;
Relatively young people who were born around the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties mostly heard about the past from their fathers and grandparents. Although they have no sense of belonging to their "Qin people" status, they still have doubts deep in their hearts: Qin, what is this kind of world?
For younger people, especially those under the age of 40, Qin is really just a legend in the mouth of the father and grandfather.

But what cannot be changed is: Qin people are still Qin people after all;
Even if he was let down by the First Emperor Yingzheng, and even hurt to pieces, the old Qin people are still the old Qin people.

When hearing this song "No Clothes" by Qin Feng, I don't know how many old men with beautiful hair trembled and wiped their tears-this is the remembrance of the past;
There are also quite a few old people with mottled hair and beards, whose eyes are red for some reason-this is the identity hidden deep in the soul.

As for those 'young people', they were saddened by the scene in front of them.

It was at this time that the chariot general Zhidu, wearing a military robe inside, wearing hemp mourning outside, wearing a filial belt on his head, and a silver seal on his waist, finally appeared twenty steps away from the imperial chariot where Liu Sheng was.

"The general of chariots and riders, the guard of Yanmen, Zhidu!"

"Following the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, personally send materials to Sima Qin Mu of the Weijia Team of the official school, and return to his hometown with honor!"

···
"General Feihu, Captain Zhang Xu!"

"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, personally send Zhao Kai, the captain of Jiadun, the captain of the C department, the B team, the Sima supervisor of the second team, to enter the court and be granted the title!"

···
"Left General Gong Gao Houchen Han Tuidang!"

"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, personally send the Northern Army's Zhongba School Lieutenant Ding Brigade Jiaqu Quhou Wei to go to the sickness, and the squadron will return to the court!"

···
···
"The right general minister..."

"Following the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao..."

···
"Rear General..."

"Following the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao..."

···
···
······
Headed by Zhidu, followed by Zhang Xu, Han Tuidang and others, the funeral procession composed of soldiers who had made great contributions to the First World War in Mayi entered Chang'an from Weiqiao in order.

And during this process, whenever a person's name was called out loudly, the young emperor standing in front of the imperial chariot would bow and bow in the direction of the square wooden box like a nephew welcoming him at a funeral.

It wasn't until the last wooden box was carried into the city of Chang'an by the last son who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, that the young emperor turned around with grief in his eyes;
——But he didn't take the imperial chariot, but held on to the tricky wood on the side of the imperial chariot, and walked slowly towards the direction of Weiyang Palace step by step.

When the news of the "Mayi Great Victory" came back, Chang'an City had many longings.

People look forward to this great victory, which will refresh the whole world for a while!
Thinking about the future, it will no longer be the Han family marrying a princess, but the Huns will marry their daughters and come to Chang'an in turn;

There are even some greedy people who are still secretly begging Liu Shengneng to take advantage of his joy and issue a big nurturing—permission, and give wine to the people of Chang'an to have a good time.

But at this moment, only endless sadness and endless silence shrouded the entire direction of Chang'an City.

The funeral procession followed Zhidu all the way, and a young emperor personally "broken the back" and walked forward along Zhangtai Street;

When they reached the west gate of Changle Palace, they saw a Lang Guan trotting out from the palace gate.

"Emperor Empress Dowager ~"

"It is a great fortune for the world to have loyal ministers; it is a great sorrow for the community when loyal ministers return to heaven."

"According to the behest of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Xiaojing, each of the loyal ministers and righteous men who sacrificed their lives for the country will be bestowed with a ghost lamp."

"The bones of loyal ministers are buried in Maoling, the gods are honored in the high temple, and they are enshrined by the descendants of later generations. The blood and three animals are endless, and they will rest with the country~"

Therefore, when they came to the intersection of Zhangtai Street and Hao Street, the funeral procession did not turn in the direction of Weiyang Palace, but continued to walk along Changle Palace until it reached the south gate of Chang'an.

It was not until then—until the funeral procession stopped outside the high temple of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang that Liu Sheng's figure slowly walked in front of the funeral procession.

Liu Sheng didn't say anything;

With a sullen face, he nodded slightly.

A moment later, Shangshu Ling Ji'an's long and pleasant voice rang out over the Gaomiao.

"Your Majesty's edict~"

"The imperial edict said: I am deeply saddened by the loss of the pillars of the country;"

"In the battle of Mayi, all the soldiers who participated in the battle, from the chariot and cavalry generals to the grain transporters, will all be awarded a rank of nobility."

"Because of the war wounds and disabilities, the loyal ministers and righteous men who died in the war are doubled..."

···
"For all heroes and heroes, they are given five stones of moon rice, three hundred coins, one piece of cloth for their age, and two catties of meat."

"Whoever dares to bully the heroes and heroes, the first offender, the Yi tribe! The accessory, behead the city!!"

"Local counties and counties are sitting together, chief officials are convicted, senior officials are dismissed, and those who cover up are guilty of the same crime!!!"

"The affairs of the heroes and heroes are all paid out of the internal treasury, so don't save on it."

"It is to order the world: the land of the Fan Han, the people of the Fan Han, the whole country mourns for three months..."
