It was still drizzling.

At this time, Qingzhou City felt like a silent movie scene.

This is anger that is accumulated in the heart.

From the eyes of the people, Xiao Ming saw this anger, and they could only suppress the anger in their hearts before.

Three years ago, the suffering of barbarian invasion and the cruel exploitation of the rich clans who colluded with foreign enemies, these painful people have been enduring silently. Now this anger has finally erupted and turned into hatred for the barbarians and hatred for the rich clans.

It is precisely because of this that the people who have escaped the shackles on their bodies firmly support him in attacking the powerful clans and fighting against the barbarians.

He also understood that if he wanted to survive safely in this world, he could only rely on the people on the fiefdom.

For him, only the royal power based on the recognition of the people is the most stable royal power, otherwise he would only be played with by these wealthy families in the midst of applause.

After all, the rich families of the Great Yu Kingdom have a long history. Compared to him, these people are good at playing power, but he lacks this kind of incident and does not have any advantage at all.

However, Xiao Ming is not a stupid person either. Comparing his own shortcomings with others' strengths is a fool. His advantage is only ahead of the scientific and technological knowledge of this era.

This is also his advantage in actively expanding next.

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are paper tigers.

The gun rod will tell his enemies that bullets are much harder than tongue.

Of course, Xiao Ming proposed the funeral of the fallen soldiers, and he also proposed the matter of him and Niu Ben and the four people carrying the official positions.

For him, the soldiers' funeral was a respect for the fallen soldiers and a must-have for shaping the military spirit.

Although the horse leather corpse is tragic, it is too desolate, and this can comfort them.

In one morning, the bodies of thousands of soldiers were buried in the soil, and the Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Cangzhou.

If the barbarians had not chosen to retreat at that time, he would not be sure whether Cangzhou City could be defended.

This battle to defend the city was a gamble for him, and for the people on the fiefdom.

But luckily, they won in the end.

This battle gave them time to breathe, and the enemy will pay a heavier price to attack Cangzhou in the future.

"Go back to camp!"

After the funeral, Niu Ben shouted, and the Qingzhou army turned around neatly and slowly left the cemetery.

Lu Fei's eyes were slightly red. He did not cry at the head of Cangzhou. He did not cry when he returned to Qingzhou. He cried at today's funeral.

He looked at Xiao Ming and said, "Thank you for your kindness. The brothers on the road to the underworld can still walk safely with this honor."

"This is the treatment they deserve, and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the future should be remembered." Xiao Ming said.

This funeral was not only beyond Pang Yukun's expectations, but also surprised Niu Ben and others.

Because there has been no funerals for ordinary soldiers since ancient times, and Xiao Ming, the King of Qi, even carried the coffin himself. If this was spread, it would inevitably cause countless criticisms.

But for the people and the soldiers, their hearts were warm, and this was enough for Xiao Ming.

Luo Xin's eyes were deep. Over the past few months, Xiao Ming had given him too many surprises.

This time, it was an accident, and he had to admit that in the eyes of the nobles, the people were only worth a waste of life, and the soldiers' lives were the same.

In a war, the generals always rush to receive credit, and the soldiers' lives and death are related to the lives of the soldiers. On the battlefield outside the Great Wall, there are still bones of many unknown soldiers lying on this day.

Xiao Ming not only transported the bodies of all the dead soldiers back, but also buried them collectively, which was a kind of honor for all the soldiers.

Looking back at the monument standing in the middle of the tomb, the four of them walked out of the cemetery.

Niu Ben said at this time: "Your Highness, the matter of this great victory in Cangzhou is now full of controversy in Chang'an. Next, Your Majesty will definitely tell you that Your Highness will go to Chang'an to receive the reward."

"I think it's better not to go. This time, your highness has made outstanding achievements, and other princes will definitely be jealous. If it is not good for your Highness at this time, we will be out of reach." Lu Fei shook his head.

Luo Xin said: "But if the imperial edict is here, your highness will not go. Otherwise, the emperor will be furious. Other princes and ministers will have more reason to attack Your Highness, and even said that your Highness is a possibility. These court officials have a lot of fun."

Niu Ben nodded. Luo Xin finally understood the affairs of the officialdom than Lu Fei. He said, "Luo Xin's words are good. Your Highness has to go at this time. I have to stay in Qingzhou. You two and Your Highness will come to Beijing to receive rewards."

"Why are the two of us? The old general is the first contribution this time." Lu Fei said.

Niu Ben smiled bitterly, Xiao Ming saw this and said, "Elder General, I can't push away this trip to Chang'an. My mother also asked me to go back after I wrote a letter. This time, I will definitely plead with my father for the old general and remove the charges of the old general."

"No need." Niu Ben said: "This is actually good, but it is also relaxing and comfortable in Qingzhou. If the crime is gone, those ministers will urge the emperor to let me return to the imperial guards, which will be difficult at that time."

Xiao Ming thought about it and seemed that this was the same. No matter how much he said, Niu Ben was more familiar with the officialdom of the Great Chongqing Kingdom than himself. He couldn't help but nod.

Niu Ben continued, "Your Highness, this time I went to Chang'an, for safety reasons, I would like to ask you to take all of the 1,000 cavalrymen of the Qingzhou army. I am not afraid of anything, but I am afraid of ten thousand."

In fact, Xiao Ming didn't want to go back to Chang'an. It was a smoky place for him, and the interweaving of power was too complicated.

And it seems that he doesn't have many people worth nostalgia for.

However, in the letter, Zhenfei told him that before the Battle of Cangzhou, Xiao Wenxuan promised that if he defended Cangzhou City, he would propose marriage to the Fei family and betroth him of Fiji's youngest daughter Fei Yueer.

Xiao Ming was single in his previous life, and no one had ever arranged a marriage for him.

Now that Concubine Zhen found him a wife, it made him feel uneasy. After all, he had never seen this Fei Yueer before.

Generally speaking, we will basically not meet before entering the bridal chamber.

If he married a mother Yasha, he would be in tragic for the rest of his life.

As for Fei Yueer's family, he had no special thoughts, but he also knew that this was the idea of ​​Zhenfei's arrangement for him to the Fei family daughter.

But Xiao Ming always thought of working hard and self-reliance. Relying on others will eventually lead to a fall.

Therefore, he didn't care about the Fei family's family's family background.

After sighing, Xiao Ming felt helpless. After all, he lived in this era, and some things could be changed, but some things had to follow the local customs.

This marriage event, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words are difficult to change. Even in modern times, many people are forced by their parents to go on blind dates.
