When the Royal Forest Army set off, a scene that everyone did not expect happened. Almost every household in Shanhuai Village had at least one person, and Zhang Goudan’s family was apart from his old lady who was handicapped. He even had two children. Bring them all.

Everyone dressed in sackcloth and filial piety silently followed behind.

Soon, not only in Shanhuai Village, but also in Huilong Township, countless people came out. They all wore at least white cloth, and the latter was covered with hemp.

They silently followed the funeral procession. The commander of the Royal Forest Army wanted to stop them, but after looking at the people who kept a certain distance, they all understood that no matter what, these people wanted to see them off.

Then they could only give way, the other party didn't interfere with them, they just wanted to follow the funeral procession.

The funeral procession was on the way, and when they left back to Longxiang, they didn't speed up. Since the people wanted to send them off, they couldn't be really unreasonable, let alone...Although they are the Imperial Forest Army, they are also Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

When had they seen this before?It is no exaggeration to say that this is the highest honor for all soldiers of Datang!What's more, although what they sent was the prince of Datang, it was also their robes!It's their brother!It is the patron saint of the people of Tang Dynasty!

They deserve this honor!

The further they walked, the more surprised these imperial guards became, because on both sides of the road behind, there were people waiting one after another on the side of the road. They would light a fire on the side of the road, and when the team passed by, they would burn paper money.

After the procession passed by, people would silently join in, and the funeral procession behind them became bigger and bigger.

It took them a day when they came, but when they went back, they could only walk because they could not ride horses fast, so when they went back and walked to the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery, it was already the third day.

But what surprised everyone was that there were more and more people seeing them off on the road, because after leaving the Qinling Mountains, there were more and more villages and denser populations on the Guanzhong Plain, so naturally more people came to see them off .

They didn't make too much noise from the beginning to the end, they just followed silently. They all brought their own dry food on the way. When they rested at night, they just followed behind and silently lit a fire.

When we arrived around the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery, the road was already full of people standing, and these people didn't have to follow, because there were too many people, and there were waiting people on both sides of the road, and everyone behaved the same way.

They are all wrapped in white cloth or hemp, and every once in a while there are paper money made of coarse hemp.

The paper of the Tang Dynasty was very valuable before Li Ke improved the papermaking technique, but the hemp paper of the paper money was not valuable. The custom of burning paper money originated in the Warring States Period. Although there was no paper in that period, there was a similar sacrificial custom. At that time, Ming coins were mostly made of mud, copper, gold, silver and so on.

These special ghost coins made for funerals to imitate the popular coins at that time were the earliest paper money, but the poor may only be able to make mud coins, and the nobles can use copper, gold and silver, etc.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, because of the invention of papermaking, the papermaking technology at that time was not very usable for writing due to quality problems, and Mingbi paper money for funerals was first used because of the low price of hemp paper.

In the Tang Dynasty, even ordinary people could use Ming coins made of hemp paper, and these people who made hemp paper spread all over the people. After all, the production technology of paper has basically spread to the world, and hemp paper does not pursue quality. .

Therefore, in many villages, there are almost people who specialize in "mortal affairs" business, dead people's business.

Both sides of the road have been covered with off-white and yellow paper money.

What Li Shimin, who rushed to the National Martyrs Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty, and many ministers, princes, princes, and Li Yuanjia's family members who were able to rush back, saw such a shocking scene.

Outside the National Martyrs Cemetery, you can almost look up, and you can see people seeing off and people in mourning.

When seeing this scene, Li Yuanjia's wife, Fang Jiao, couldn't help but burst into tears. At this moment, she finally understood why Li Yuanjia would do that, or at least her husband, her husband died well, and died as heavy as Tarzan.

Because so many people remember them, and so many people come to see them off automatically, even when Gaozu passed away, there was no such scale. This honor can be said to be unprecedented.

Fang Jiao, who was crying loudly at this moment, finally vented all the grievances in her heart.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chang Le and the others who were by Fang Jiao's side couldn't help but shed tears, this scene was enough to move everyone.

No one can be calm under the gaze of this scene.

All the princes of the clan, they couldn't help puffing out their chests, their chests were burning with raging fire, they didn't know if there was such a grand occasion when they died, but presumably, to be able to have such an achievement, although Let's die without regret.

How many people can't get the respect of so many people in this life, let alone so many people spontaneously funeral him?

Although King Han passed away, he will live in the hearts of all the people in Datang, yes, all the people in Datang, because the news of "Datang Weekly" will inevitably spread to the world.

Li Shimin was a little shocked when he saw this scene. Although his face was calm, his heart was not calm at all. He was thinking about things. When he passed away, he wondered if so many people would come. see off?

But if Ke'er is in the next hundred years, the scale will be even bigger.

After throwing out the thoughts in his mind, Li Shimin withdrew his emotions. He still has a lot to announce today, mainly the other three soldiers who also died.

Although they cannot be crowned kings, they will also be awarded special merit and honorary titles, as well as the title of Marquis.

The process of their burial is exactly the same as that of Li Yuanjia, because this is the National Martyrs Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty. When buried here, there are only meritorious deeds, nothing else, and no distinctions such as status.

Li Shimin announced the rewards for the other soldiers, and then the burial ceremony in the garden. When he saw that the three soldiers and the prince of the Tang Dynasty were buried in the same way, the coffin covered the national flag, and the national flag was not taken down until the last moment of descent. .

All the people felt an unspeakable emotion in their hearts.

Because here, these are the heroic spirits who guard Datang!
