Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 190 Datang Martyrs Cemetery
When Liaoxi was still busy, Chang'an City was indeed solemn. Lingyan Pavilion and the Cemetery of Heroes and Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty were officially completed. More than 1000 craftsmen spent a lot of energy on carving, and it was not fully completed until December.

The entire cemetery not only occupies a huge area, but also has a grand momentum. Outside the cemetery, there are more than 20 bluestone walls of different sizes, with images of battles carved in relief.

There are many clothes tombs in the cemetery, and the one that cannot be verified is a huge clothes tomb, where the bones of those who died without family claims were buried here.

For the 36 meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion, all those who passed away had gilded bronze real-life portraits, which were made of gilded bronze to make them as tall as human beings, with monuments erected on the side, and the portraits of those who were still alive were painted by Yan Liben and written by Yu Shinan in handwriting.

Chang'an Daily and Datang Daily have published it many times in the first half month. On December 25th, the Datang Heroes and Martyrs Cemetery is officially open to all the people. You can come to pay homage to family members and friends. At the same time, Lingyan Pavilion will also be open to the public to visit and worship.

On December 25th of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin held a grand sacrifice ceremony to pray to heaven to bless the Tang Dynasty.

The sacrificial oration was read in front of the huge stone stele nine feet nine feet high. On the front of the stele were inscriptions written by Li Shimin, a hero of the Tang Dynasty who will live forever. Animals and many other reliefs.

After Li Shimin led the officials to worship, the people entered the cemetery under the guidance of the guards. Some people cried loudly. It didn't take long for the cemetery to be full of crying. Many people prostrated themselves on the ground with tears streaming down their faces.

It has only been ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the people in Guanzhong have lost too many relatives, and many of their family members are still alive. However, during the war, they do not know where they died or where their bones were buried. In the cemetery, every large There was a huge tomb in every battle, and the common people found the place where their relatives participated, shouting for their children and calling for their father, crying together.

Li Shimin heard the crying inside from a long distance, although he was prepared, he still couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Your Majesty! Grassmen kowtow to thank you!" An old woman with white hair knelt down not far away and shouted at Li Shimin, bowing her head heavily.

"Please get up, old man." Li Shimin said without hesitation, stepping forward to help the old man up.

At this time, Li Shimin was not worried that someone would be unfavorable to him. Today, it can be said that anyone who dares to say a bad word about Li Shimin will be torn to pieces by the people, and will be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years.

"There are three sons in the family, two of them died in the battle, and there are no bones left. The kindness of the Holy One not only makes the old woman have a thought, but also allows them to enjoy the incense of the people. Let the grass people give you two more heads. Let the old man tomorrow Three, go join the Fubing." The old woman said excitedly, and was about to kneel down and bow her head again.

Li Shimin hurriedly grabbed the old woman and said loudly: "I will never forget those who died for the Great Tang, the Great Tang will never forget, and neither will future generations."

Whether it was for show or sincerity, as soon as Li Shimin spoke on the phone, the people around him knelt down and shouted: "Holy Majesty Long En, I have sworn to die, and the Tang Dynasty will win!"

In the end, starting from the cemetery and spreading to the whole of Chang'an, "The Tang Dynasty is victorious!" once again resounded through the sky, the people of the Tang Dynasty shouted excitedly, and the foreigners at the border were trembling.

After Qin Shihuang, people attached great importance to the affairs behind them, especially if there were no bones left, and if they could not enjoy the incense, they would think it was an unlucky thing. The opposite is to enjoy the incense of the people. Like a god, how could he not be grateful to Li Shimin.

……

There are 81 stone ladders in front of the Lingyan Tower. On both sides of the stone ladders are dragons and phoenixes, tigers, horses, unicorns, and dragon sons. Zhao Gao, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, and Liang Yi, known as the domineering general of the Han Dynasty, on one side.

There are words engraved on the back of the kneeling bronze statue, counting the crimes of his life, and there is a stone tablet next to it, which roughly means, "These two bronze statues are used to warn future generations. People will also erect a bronze statue for him, and engrave a book and turn it around, so that his name will be passed down through the ages."

I have to say that Feng Daiwen's proposed move was very ruthless. You must know that people at this time value reputation very much. With today's situation, the officialdom was shocked, and many people restrained a lot. The atmosphere in the officialdom has become fresh.

When Lingyan Pavilion was built, visits and worship were considered. There are two staircases in the stone pagoda, one up and one down. The walls of the tower are installed with huge transparent glass, so the light is excellent.

All the portraits are life-size, painted in color, and painted by Yan Liben's wonderful hands, they look majestic and dignified.

The seven-story stone pagoda has only two floors now, the top one is for the dead, and the sixth floor is for the people who are still alive. Those who visit Lingyan Pavilion today are all noble children, scholars, officials of all sizes, and the common people will line up to visit in the future .

After the visit, after reading the biographical introduction of the selected Lingyan Pavilion, no one was unconvinced, including the youngest Feng Daiwen. Instead, these young people were excited, swearing that they would also be loyal to the emperor and go to battle to kill the enemy.

……

In Chang'an, Li Shimin felt that he had gained a lot of fame, loyalty, and was happy to be exempted from some taxes. The rewards for the ministers in the New Year were also very generous, but he did not expect that a bigger surprise would come soon.

After the new year, on the third day of the first month, Du Zhenglun met Mo Hui, the head of the Khitan tribe who came to meet him. The two naturally chattered a lot when they met.

This was exactly what Du Zhenglun wanted, and he readily agreed without hesitation. Mo met him so frankly, and on the contrary became more enthusiastic.

The Khitan people lived in the city in summer, and lived in the grass in winter. Because they had to escort the goods, they did not go to the city, but came to the tribe. At the foot of the mountain, tents stretched up and down. This is a relatively large tribe in Khitan.There are more than 4 people.

Following the arrival of Du Zhenglun and his party, the entire tribe gathered around to watch, and when they saw familiar people coming back, they greeted them from afar.

Only a part of them arrived home, and the others still had to move on. However, even if Du Zhenglun's mission was half completed, there was no need to continue to send it forward. Of course, he had to start distributing the supplies. The carriages were sparse in the west of Liaoning, so naturally they had to be brought back. Fortunately, this tribe had a lot of horses. , It is not a problem to borrow some cattle and horses.

More than 800 two-horse carts, according to the working team began to collect things, only 10 places began to distribute food, fish, canned food, fruits and vegetables, frosting sugar, salt and other items, almost everyone has them, because there are too many people living in this tribe I asked relatives and friends to help take them home, and those who didn't live here had to put them aside first.
