Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

At night, everything sounds.

Changning Palace was a different scene, with eunuchs and maids walking hurriedly with delicious food and wine in their hands, and from time to time they could hear low voices of urging.

The Qinzheng Hall is brightly lit, just like daytime, and the guests in the hall are staggering, toasting and clinking cups, and the music of silk and bamboo is endless, creating a grand occasion of singing and dancing.

Wu Ji led the army to go deep into Mobei, beheaded countless enemies, and returned after a great victory, showing the country's prestige. Therefore, Xiao Ji not only personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to meet them, but also held a banquet in the Palace of Qinzheng to celebrate with all the officials. meaning.

"clang--"

A clear and long bell echoed in Qinzheng Hall.

The voices of the guests gradually became quieter. Everyone returned to their seats, put down the cups in their hands, and looked at the emperor Xiao Ji who was sitting in the main seat. The noisy and lively Qinzheng Hall gradually became quiet.

Lian Yi, the internal servant, flicked the whisk in his hand, and shouted sharply:

"Your Majesty, please give me a speech."

Xiao Ji stood up, picked up the wine glass in his hand, glanced at the guests in the hall, and said with a loud smile: "My first glass of wine is naturally to respect our new champion general Wu Ji, and to accompany him on an expedition to Di Hu The [-] soldiers in the army were the ones who let the Dihu people see the majesty of our Daning. From now on, the offensive and defensive trends will reverse. The Dihu people can go, and we can go to Daning."

Xiao Jie almost spat out another mouthful of old blood below, why even the father copied the lines of a certain emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister."

The Son of Heaven personally toasted the wine, Wu Ji did not dare to take it too seriously, and it was rare for him to be humble, he quickly got up and bowed in Xiao Ji's direction, raised his wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Xiao Ji smiled faintly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Lian Yi who was at the side hurriedly stepped forward to fill Xiao Ji's glass again.

"For this second cup of wine, I would like to respect the 570 soldiers who died in the battle in Mobei. If they hadn't sacrificed their lives and spilled blood on the battlefield, how could there be such a great victory. Come, gentlemen, let's respect these together. A hero who died for the country."

After saying that, Xiao Ji had a solemn face, and slowly poured the wine in the cup to the ground.

All the civil and military officials present in the hall also got up one after another, picked up the wine glasses in front of them one by one, and slowly poured the water and wine in the glasses on the ground.

Wu Ji's face was gloomy, and his mood was a little depressed for a while. After all, these soldiers died outside the Great Wall because they were tricked out of the pass by him. He said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of the minister, if it wasn't for the minister..."

"Wu Qing's family is serious. I don't mean to blame you. Since ancient times, there is no reason why people can't die in battle." Xiao Ji waved his hand to interrupt Wu Ji's words, and said kindly, "You and Pang Qing's family can think of killing them. Bring their ashes back to the Central Plains, so that they are not allowed to be lonely ghosts outside the Great Wall, I think they can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

When it came to the death of the soldiers, the atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall was suppressed a lot. Many officials bowed their heads and remained silent. Xiao Jie came out at the right time and said, "Father, I have something to say."

Xiao Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay for the emperor to speak out."

Xiao Jie said with emotion: "Since these 570 soldiers died fighting hard for Daning, they are naturally meritorious men of Daning. They should be models for the people of the world, and their heroic deeds are more worthy of being remembered and emulated by the people of the world. .”

"Therefore, I suggest that you build a martyr's hall for them in Luoyang City, and engrave their heroic deeds on the inscriptions for people all over the world to remember, look up to and emulate."

Xiao Ji didn't say yes or no after listening, just glanced at the other ministers in the palace, and asked slowly: "I don't know what you think about King Qi's suggestion?"

The expressions of the other ministers in the hall suddenly became a little strange and unnatural, but they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Xiao Jie smiled coldly in his heart, and he already guessed their thoughts. Although in later generations, it is very common to erect monuments for the martyrs who died in battle for future generations to look up to, but in this era, Xiao Jie's proposal is seen by other ministers. It is somewhat deviant and absurd.

Although Daning can't be said to emphasize civility over military affairs, it is an indisputable fact that the status of generals is generally lower than that of civil servants, and the status of military commanders is still like this, let alone those big-headed soldiers below. In the eyes of many high-ranking ministers, these Soldiers are fed by the imperial court, and it is a matter of course to work for the imperial court, and it is their duty to be loyal to the country.

Even if they really die in battle, it is because their fate is bad or their martial arts are not good. Shi En, it would be somewhat exaggerated to build another Hall of Martyrs for them.

In their eyes, building ancestral halls and enjoying the offerings of human incense has always been the prerogative of princes and generals. When will it be the turn of these big-headed soldiers who lick blood on the edge of their knives.

However, it was King Xiao Jie of Qi who proposed to build the Hall of Martyrs for them. Presumably, he also wanted to use this to buy people's hearts and show his love and care for the soldiers. The minister really didn't dare to touch his bad luck.

But the vast majority of people dare not, it does not mean that no one dares to stand up and refute Xiao Jie.

Du Hao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I think His Highness King Qi's suggestion is inappropriate."

Xiao Ji couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he just said calmly: "Why is this advice from King Qi inappropriate?"

Du Hao glanced at Xiao Jie, and then said: "I don't mean to target His Highness, let alone disrespect those soldiers who died in battle and gave their lives for the country, but I think it's against etiquette to build the Hall of Valor for them. "

Although Shang Shu ordered Wei Zhe and Xiao Jie to make an agreement that their Guanzhong and Heluo six surnames would no longer be enemies with Xiao Jie, but it does not mean that the six aristocratic families must obey Xiao Jie in everything, and it is touching the core of their aristocratic families On the issue of interests, they still have to work hard to protect their own rights, even if they offend Xiao Jie.

For example, their aristocratic families are determined not to agree to the establishment of the Hall of Martyrs for the soldiers who died in battle.

In Du Hao's view, scholars are scholars, and ordinary people are ordinary people. There is a natural and insurmountable gap between the two. It has always been the privilege of scholars who dare to be the first in the world to enjoy incense in the ancestral hall. When will it be the turn of these chests? There is no such thing as an illiterate leader.

Xiao Jie didn't show any anger on his face, but calmly asked Du Hao, "I don't know where my suggestion is not in line with etiquette, but I hope Du Shang will make it clear."

Du Hao took a deep breath and began to talk eloquently: "I understand His Royal Highness's concern for the soldiers, but the saints have something to say about eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king. The soldiers eat the royal salary, and it is their duty to be loyal to the country." , They are just fighting under the orders of the generals, and they may not have the heart to fight for the country. If they are killed in battle, it is against the etiquette and law to build a hero's hall for them."

As soon as Du Hao said this, many ministers in the palace showed their approval, after all, everyone didn't want these big soldiers to part with their glory.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with what Du Shangshu said."

At this moment, Wu Ji couldn't help but stand up and refute Du Hao directly.
