Chapter 334 Heroes live forever
Li Zhen took Zhang Yishu back to her house. Li Ruyi and the other six women were very enthusiastic about Zhang Yishu and did not show any jealousy at all.
Li Ruyi was outspoken but had a good heart. She was very kind to Li Zhen's women. As for Wu Meiniang, she was the mediator in the middle. In order to win Li Zhen's favor, she tried her best to harmonize the relationship between the women. Zhen will not have to worry about the fire in the backyard.
Li Zhen was very satisfied with this, and her attitude towards Wu Meiniang gradually changed. She treated her as before, but deep down in her heart, Li Zhen was still wary of Wu Meiniang. Although she used Wu Meiniang, she would never Let her dote on you.
For the next period of time, Li Zhen was very busy every day. Li Zhen decided to build a monument in Chang'an to commemorate the souls of those who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty in previous battles.
This monument must be built to be spectacular. Li Zhen planned to build it to be more than fifty meters high and grand.
This move caused Shangguan Yi to stop it. Shangguan Yi believed that the Tang Dynasty was in ruins and was still in dilapidation to the west of Chang'an. At this time, we must not abuse people's power anymore and must concentrate on restoring production.
Li Zhen said that this monument is the place where the souls of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty return. With this monument, the people can always mourn the souls of these dead people who swore to die, and it can also inspire the living people and increase the morale of the army. It also saves money to build the monument. , from the inner treasury controlled by Li Zhen.
Although Shangguan Yi still disagreed, Li Zhen had made up his mind and Shangguan Yi had no choice. In the end, he bargained with Li Zhen and lowered the height of the monument to thirty meters, and then reluctantly agreed to Li Zhen's idea.
Seven days later, Li Zhen, on behalf of the emperor, led the civil and military officials to conduct the foundation laying ceremony of the monument. At the same time, he publicly paid tribute to the soldiers who died in the fight against the rebellion. King Luo Bin wrote a memorial for the sacrificed heroes, which Li Zhen read out in public.
When Li Zhen read it, she found that the article was so soul-stirring and moved people to tears. Although Li Zhen was eloquent in reading it, it took a lot of effort to recite it, but it was also full of emotion and emotion. It spoke to all the civil and military officials, and everyone under the altar suddenly became excited. , burst into tears for a while, it was very touching.
Li Zhen did not expect that the effect would be so good. She thought that King Luo Bin was really good at writing articles. From now on, she could just leave the drafting of documents to him.
At that moment, Li Zhen personally filled the first handful of soil for the monument, and at the same time took out the scroll written by Li Shimin, which read - The heroes of the Tang Dynasty will be immortal.
This word was what Li Zhen thought of. Li Shimin thought it was easy to understand and very appropriate, so he wrote it by hand and planned to enlarge it and engrave it on the monument.
Looking at the foundation of this monument, Li Zhen sighed in her heart and said loudly: "The heroes of the Tang Dynasty have passed away. From now on, your souls will return to this monument and be with the Tang Dynasty!"
Subsequently, Li Zhen once again petitioned Li Shimin to build the Heroes and Martyrs' Shrine, and move the tablets of the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty to the Heroes and Martyrs' Shrine for worship at all times.
Li Shimin's condition had just improved at this time and he could go to court to govern, so he had to agree to Li Zhen's request.
But some ministers disagreed, believing that building a shrine for heroes and martyrs would hurt the people's money and it was not appropriate to do so now.
Among the crowd, the elderly Li Jing stood out. Li Jing was nearly eighty years old and in poor health. He rarely participated in court meetings, but he was also invited to attend court meetings.
Li Jing said: "I have been leading the army for nearly thirty years, and I have personally seen countless soldiers fall on the battlefields fighting for the country. Many of their bodies are buried in other places. If there is a temple of heroes, the memorial tablets of the fallen heroes will be moved." In the Hall of Heroes, let their souls return to their hometown, and then they can rest in silence and smile.
¡°I am already over eighty years old, and it won¡¯t be long before I can gather with these old friends underground at the Heroes Hall¡¡±
After saying this, Li Jing burst into tears.
Cheng Yaojin also said: "In these years, for the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers went through life and death. Many people said that they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that they would not have a place to go after death. With this Heroes' Shrine, the soldiers would no longer With no worries, I can devote myself to fighting for the country and killing the enemy."
After listening to the words of Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, the officials fell silent. Obviously, the words of these two people touched most people.
Li Zhen looked around the officials and said loudly: "A country without cohesion will never become a strong country. Without cohesion, it will be a piece of loose sand. Sooner or later, the country will perish. And where does this cohesion come from? It is the people's support for the country. recognition.¡±
"The establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine can boost the national spirit of the Tang Dynasty, inspire fighting spirit, and let all the people see that the Tang Dynasty has not forgotten those who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty. This Heroes' Shrine will be where the spirit of the Tang Dynasty lies, as long as There is a temple of heroes?, my Tang Dynasty can unite people's hearts and prosper forever! "
After listening to Li Zhen¡¯s words, the officials suddenly realized that it turned out that they only considered problems from an economic perspective, but many times, they ignored spiritual matters.
These spirits are the backbone of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!
Yes, a nation without cohesion and a backbone will never become a strong nation.
A truly strong nation must have a national soul!
A truly strong country must have strong cohesion.
A truly powerful country must have a continuous backbone!
And what Li Zhen has to do is to unite all the people of the country, inject soul into the Tang Dynasty, and form a real sense of identity with the Tang Dynasty. Once this kind of soul is formed, it may not be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to flourish forever!
There is absolutely no fool who can serve as an official in the court and stand in this hall. At that moment, all the officials unanimously agreed to build the Martyrs' Shrine, and the matter was settled.
Walking out of the Ganlu Hall, Li Zhen looked at the sky. The sky was so blue, without a trace of clouds. Li Zhen secretly thought in her heart, the heroes who have devoted their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty will definitely give you something to support your souls!
The Li Zhi Rebellion had a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had always maintained an offensive attitude towards the outside world and had a strong national power.
Although the Li Zhi Rebellion did not last long, it brought huge damage to the Tang Dynasty. Not only did the Tang Dynasty lose its connection with the western territories, but also several states on the right side of the river were lost. All the dangerous areas in the western part of the Tang Dynasty were lost. Under direct attack from aliens.
Moreover, wherever the rebels passed, they were destructive. The land west of Chang'an was in ruins, with thousands of miles of bones and few people. In this rebellion, the Tang Dynasty lost millions of people, including a large number of people. young and strong.
This caused great damage to the economy of the Tang Dynasty. The originally fertile Guanzhong Plain was extremely depressed for a while. The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to spend a lot of manpower, financial and material resources on the western region, which involved a lot of energy of the Tang Dynasty ¡(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
