Chapter three hundred and eighteen rumors spread

The civil and military officials standing near the high platform couldn't help but look at Li Shimin when he heard this, but saw Li Shimin with a dark face and not speaking.

A group of ordinary soldiers ran to the monk without saying a word, and gave them out of the venue.

Seeing the monks being forked out, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the soldiers below, standing next to the trumpet-shaped loudspeaker on the high platform, and said to tens of thousands of soldiers: "The Lonely King was not here to hold this requiem conference, but to really want to mourn these soldiers who died." The voice passed through the bamboo tube to the various falls of the venue, making nearly 100,000 people in the venue clearly heard it.

Although the ordinary soldiers below found it strange, they took it for granted when they thought that Li Chengqian was the crown prince.

But Li Shimin and the ministers were shocked, thinking that Li Chengqian could have some magic. Some people were frightened and didn't even dare to move.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shiji, and Li Shiji hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the bamboo tube next to him and whispered: "The sound comes from these bamboo tubes."

Li Shimin nodded half-believingly and began to observe the bamboo tube standing on the side of the platform while Li Chengqian was speaking.

Just as he watched, he listened to the voice of Li Chengqian from the bamboo tube and said, "The soldiers died on the battlefield to defend their country. His Majesty and the Lone King personally pay their respects. Do you still need a monk to recite scriptures?"

"Om" immediately caused controversy among the soldiers as soon as they were said.

"Don't want a monk!" Someone who was disgusted with Buddhism immediately replied.

Li Chengqian nodded and raised his hands to signal Jing. The guards of the East Palace immediately stepped forward to rectify the order.

The venue gradually became quiet, and Li Chengqian continued: "More than a thousand years ago, there was a teacher, Mr. Kong, who said that it was better to save money and food and procedures than to do extravagance and wastefulness. Even if you do a funeral perfectly in terms of etiquette, it is better to be sincerely sad for the deceased..." As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the ordinary soldiers below felt deeply the same, and the ministers involved in the matter felt that their faces were burning, and the slap in the face was too cruel.

Only Li Shimin snorted coldly and muttered, "It's so vulgar. One sentence: 'Relax is not as good as extravagant as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as

Li Chengqian looked at the reaction of the people below and continued his speech: "The Lone King came here to be sad for these good men in the Tang Dynasty." He said that he looked back at the urns placed behind him.

He turned around and waved his hand over the other side, and said in a low voice: "Many of them are known to the Lone King. Zhu Er from Guanzhong is only 22 years old this year. He has been in the army for two years. He is a stunner with a burly figure and a dignified appearance. He is the most generous and righteous person.

Zhu Er once told Gu Wang that he had a son who was four years old and had no big name yet. He wanted to ask Gu Wang to name him. Gu Wang saw that he took great care of his fellow countryman Du Lin, so he named his son Zhu Yi.

Since then, he has been marching and fighting, and I don’t know if he has written a letter to tell his son, the Orphan King, that he named him.”

When Li Chengqian said this, the corners of his eyes were already wet, and some soldiers below who had dated Zhu Er were already crying.

Li Chengqian paused and swallowed even more, "Zhu Er quietly told the Gu Wang that the Du Lin family had many brothers and their parents died early, Du Lin followed his brother and sister-in-law and had not had enough food since he was a child, so he was a little weak. He was bullied in the army and was the one who stood up for Du Lin.

When Wuhe besieged the Guwang, Zhu Er did not lose his advantage by fighting against three. In the end, Zhang Sheng, who was in the same team, was stabbed to death by five Uighur soldiers. Because Zhu Er killed many Uighur people, they stabbed Zhu Er to death and dismembered them with a scimitar. After the war, Du Lin and Zhang Sheng cried and found Zhu Er's head among the piles of corpses.

Later Du Lin told the orphan king that Zhang Sheng had not yet married because his family was poor and over 20 years old. Zhu Erlian Zhang Sheng had no queen so he tried to save him..."

Next, Li Chengqian told several touching stories on the battlefield. The protagonists of the story are heroes who died in previous battles.

After listening to Li Chengqian's beautiful story, many people were deeply infected and cried.

Just as Li Chengqian wiped his tears and wanted to make a summary speech, he suddenly heard someone outside the venue saying sadly: "Your Majesty, the people you are talking about by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty. I dared to ask Your Majesty to posthumously appoint them as viscounts."

A sentence shifted everyone's eyes to Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that it was the Secretariat who spoke. He thought to himself that this flattery was really time, but he underestimated me too much and wanted to use the stage I set up to sing an opera.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that Li Shimin had stood up, looked at the urns and the eager eyes of the soldiers, and the expressions of sadness. He was almost done, so he was going to issue an order.

"What I said in the Secretariat is right. These people are indeed heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but the heroes of the Tang Dynasty are not only mentioned by Gu Wang, but also Wei Xin, Zhou Qi, Hu Sheng, Hu De, Pei Yuan..." Li Chengqian said the names of dozens of fallen soldiers in a row.

The more Li Shimin heard, his face became darker. The Viscount of the Tang Dynasty was also at the fifth level. How could he be so full of his words?

Finally, Li Chengqian heard loudly say: "All the soldiers who died in battle are heroes of the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Shimin heard this, he wanted to slash Li Chengqian with one knife. He was completely out of Taiwan.

If you seal it, it is impossible to seal it all. If you don’t seal it, you will be in a state of being in a long time.

All the ministers and soldiers on the school ground looked at Li Shimin, especially ordinary soldiers, with their eyes particularly enthusiastic.

The ministers seemed very embarrassed. Seeing that no one came out to rescue Li Shimin, something was about to happen. Fang Xuanling walked out and said loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has the heart to love soldiers as much as his son, and he must also have the idea of ​​placing the fallen soldiers."

Li Chengqian heard this and said, "The Lone King has some ideas, but he does not have the grace of honor to be granted."

He told everyone openly that the Lone King had thought of a way to slap, but it was not a title.

"The Secretary of the Central Committee was inspired by the loyalty of the Tang Dynasty. However, how can you reward the most noble titles? If His Royal Highness has a suitable strategy, please make it clear." Fang Xuanling immediately felt the disappointed gaze from ordinary soldiers as soon as he said this.

But Li Chengqian did not intend to let Li Shimin go, so he deliberately turned his head and peeked at Li Shimin and said, "But the Lone King seemed to be intentional when he saw His Majesty's proposal to the Secretariat."

As soon as this statement was made, all the civil and military ministers present were shocked. Li Chengqian did not give Li Shimin any reason.

The reason why Fang Xuanling stood up under pressure was to give Li Shimin a way out. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian finally threw this problem to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a calm face for a while, then slowly said: "Although they are all killed, the merits vary. General MG Zhizhong must verify the military merits before making the truth.

Since the prince has made arrangements, let’s say it now.”

"Abide by the order!" Li Chengqian bowed, then turned his head and shouted to the guards of the East Palace: "Come on!"

Soon, dozens of strong men carried ten heavy wooden boxes and lined up in front of Li Chengqian.

Everyone stretched their necks in the field, wondering what was placed in the ten large wooden boxes?

Li Chengqian no longer asked everyone to wait for a long time and said loudly: "Open!"

Bang, bang, bang...

There was a sound of unboxing! People who were close to each other saw golden light reflected from the box, and they were even more curious about what was inside.

People in the distance didn't know what it was, and they were eager to wait for Li Chengqian to unravel the mystery.

Li Chengqian waved his hand proudly and shouted loudly: "Take it out!" The sound spread throughout the square.

Seeing Li Chengqian's actions, Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials knew that the things they took out must be good things, so they stretched their necks and looked forward.

The strong man standing next to the box before bent down and brought out pieces of yellow and golden gold from the box. The people who were close to each other couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"It's gold...dog head gold..."

"So much gold!"

...

...

The big men brought out pieces of gold the size of a sea bowl and hugged it in their arms and began to walk around the platform so that the people sitting around could see clearly.

There was a sound of gasping around the platform. Someone had never seen so much gold in his life. At this moment, he suddenly saw so much gold and looked at it in a daze.

When Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers saw Li Chengqian suddenly ordered people to take out so much gold, they were shocked. Where did these gold coins come from?

Could it be seized from Xue Yanhan’s tent?

What does Li Chengqian want to use this dog-headed gold for?

Isn’t it enough to reward the families of the soldiers who died?

Li Shimin also thought that these dog-headed gold were auspicious things that should be sent to the palace, and that those who have made meritorious should be rewarded with money and silk.

Seeing that everyone saw it, Li Chengqian signaled the strong man holding the dog-headed gold to put the gold back into the box.

After the gold was put back into the box, the soldiers below came to their senses. Li Chengqian raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Did you all see clearly?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, but...

"This is the dog-head gold dug from the gold ore silver ore copper mine found by the Lone King. Compared to these gold, there are more silver and copper in the mine, which is enough for us to dig for dozens or hundreds of years."

"Om--" The soldiers below were no longer calm.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with his eyes blazing fire, and gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "A bad boy! Dare, why don't you tell me first when you found the gold, silver and copper mine?"

Li Chengqian didn't look back at Li Shimin, otherwise he would have seen a ferocious face staring at him.

Li Chengqian raised his hands again to signal everyone to be quiet. Seeing the scene slowly calmed down, he continued: "These gold mines are not owned by the Lone King, nor are they owned by the Tang Dynasty royal family, they belong to all the Tang Dynasty people.

These gold and silver should be used to build weapons and armor for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, to pave the way for repairing canals, and to provide relief for famines. A part of them should be left to scourge the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty and were disabled."

Li Chengqian said that there were nearly 100,000 people in the square. The civil and military ministers, ordinary soldiers, and leaders of various tribes were filled with different expressions of shock, admiration, enthusiasm, etc.

Only Li Shimin showed an inexplicable look on his face and slowly closed his eyes.

Li Chengqian also felt the change in the atmosphere on the scene and used all his strength to continue: "This money is only used for special purposes, and no one can misappropriate it. This money must be used to raise orphans of the deceased soldiers, so that their children can eat, wear warm clothes, read books, practice martial arts, and grow up to become pillars of the country.

The money will also be spent on the injured and disabled soldiers, so that they can support their families after returning home. If they have not married, they will marry them. If they have already married, their children will also be taken care of."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's Holy Spirit!"

I don’t know who shouted first, but nearly 100,000 people started shouting...

Seeing this, Li Shimin stood up silently and walked out. Only the eunuchs and guards who were following him followed him, and the huge ceremonial guard was left in place.
