I won’t go to the morning meeting today because there is another important matter——

Mourning the fallen soldiers.

Before Qi Yun returned to the palace, she had ordered a new building to be built next to the palace and named it the Hall of Heroes.

In the future, the ashes of all Dayu soldiers who died in battle will be stored in the Hall of Heroes, and their names will also be engraved on the wall monument of the Hall of Heroes. Every year when the royal family holds a sacrificial ceremony, the imperial husband or the chief consul will lead the officials. Worship together.

It is equivalent to enjoying the Ancestral Temple.

There is a square in front of the Hall of Heroes. The walls on both sides describe the battles in which these soldiers died. In the future, if the walls are not enough, steles and inscriptions will be built in the square.

This square is called Yinghun Square and is open to all the people of Dayu.

Any common people, as long as they dress appropriately, can enter the Heroes' Soul Square and pay homage to the martyrs' monument wall.

This was a new etiquette that Qi Yun requested when Zhuge Liang and others asked about the pension benefits for the fallen soldiers.

Zhuge deeply admired Qi Yun's out-of-the-box idea.

The ancients had a short lifespan, so they were particularly superstitious about the underworld after death.

They desperately want to have a son, and why?

Because superstition tells them that the sacrifice of women is useless, the dead cannot receive it underground, and it will also make the family uneasy.

No matter how favored a woman is at home, she will not be allowed to enter the family ancestral hall to worship ancestors with her family.

Even Qi Yun, had it not been for the rebellion of the first dynasty that led to the death of all the other branches of the Yu royal family, leaving her alone, the throne would not have fallen to her.

Many ancient people regarded their afterlife as more important than their lives.

Their fear of having no heirs to worship after death and becoming lonely ghosts is simply not something modern people can understand.

Military generals want to fight for a title and pass it on to their descendants, not just to provide their descendants with a stable living environment and to continue their incense in the future.

However, if the dynasties are still changing, how can the noble family remain prosperous forever?

But if you enter the Hall of Heroes, you will be with the country forever!

Even if there are no descendants, as long as the dynasty is immortal, the incense will last forever!

This is not only a matter of great honor!

He also tied Dayu’s soldiers firmly to the country!

Including the descendants of these fallen soldiers.

Because their ancestors are enshrined in the national temple, protecting Dayu and being loyal to Dayu are not only protecting their descendants, but also protecting their ancestors.

It can be said that this Hall of Heroes bought the lives of tens of millions of Dayu’s soldiers now and in the future!

And the other party is still willing to surrender his life!

To be honest, when they first learned about the purpose of Qi Yun's building of the Hall of Heroes, many civil servants were red-eyed.

The Hall of Heroes is such a wonderful place, who wouldn’t want to go in?

Who doesn’t want to live with the country forever after death?

Why don't generals have different levels? As long as they die in battle, they will have great merit!

Qi Yun Yujia had just returned to the capital from his class when he was blocked by these old men in the Nourishing Heart Hall to express their dissatisfaction.

Zhuge couldn't suppress it. Of course, maybe he didn't want to suppress it.

After a round and round discussion between these old men, Qi Yun understood that they were jealous of the posthumous honor of the general who died in battle.

It left her speechless.

She never expected that these civil servants would almost force her to go to the palace for this posthumous matter.

In the end, Qi Yun had no choice but to agree that these civil servants, those with a third rank or above, or those who had served for more than 40 years without any major mistakes or stains during their tenure, could enter the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs after their death. Those with a third rank or below, those who had made great contributions to the country and the people, You can also enter the Hall of Heroes.

The civil servants then dispersed with satisfaction.

Zhuge Liang sometimes really wonders what kind of world Qi Yun comes from to have so many wild ideas.

However, none of this matters.

Anyway, a hundred years from now, his position will definitely be at the top of the Wenying Hall of the Hall of Heroes.

Even the wise military advisor Zhuge cannot live up to his posthumous reputation in this world!

Qi Yun originally planned to worship the heroic souls in one visit.

However, due to the need to modify the layout and build Wenying Hall and Wuying Hall in the Hall of Heroes, it was delayed until after the Lantern Festival.

During this expedition, 3,561 soldiers were sacrificed.

In addition, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians who have joined Qi Yun's command since he established the Yunkai base and sacrificed their lives to resist the zombie tide.

At first, Qi Yun just asked people to erect a monument at the base, and engraved the names of the soldiers and civilians who were injured in the battle, and engraved their participation in the war and heroic performance on the back of the monument.

Now those monuments have been taken out and escorted to Yingchuan, where they will be sent to the Hall of Heroes together today.

Outside Yingchuan City, the four main roads have been cleared.

Soldiers holding rifles and wearing armor pulled up ropes to separate the people in the city on both sides of the road.

One person takes five steps, standing as straight as a pine tree.

"Sir, what happened?" The common people asked curiously, but none of the soldiers spoke.

Some people who had read the notice clarified everyone's doubts: "Your Majesty wants to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the war."

"Oh my God, such a grand display?"

"Isn't that true? I heard that Emperor Zhao led hundreds of civil and military officials to sacrifice together, and the ashes of the soldiers were sent to the Hall of Heroes. Every year, after His Majesty led hundreds of officials to worship the late emperors of the royal family, the Emperor would lead hundreds of officials to sacrifice to the heroes and martyrs. , if there is no royal husband, the chief consul will lead hundreds of officials to offer sacrifices."

"Oh my god, is it too late for me to run to the front lines and die in battle?"

People around him rolled their eyes.

Although this person's idea is unrealistic, it is also a true reflection of everyone's heart.

Many people who did not choose to join the army regret it.

Even some older veterans feel a little regretful.

Your Majesty, if you had told us that this happened, they would have had no idea how to survive during the war.

Because only soldiers and general officers who died in battle can enter the Hall of Heroes after death, naturally those who died of old age will not be counted.

Damn it, I don’t know if I will have a chance in the future.

If there is another chance to fight, labor and management will definitely rush in and exchange for one.

The soldiers who were responsible for stopping the people on the side felt proud in their hearts as they listened to the people's envious and jealous comments.

His chest was straighter, and the military medal on his chest seemed to shine brighter.

The south gate of Yingchuan City is wide open, with Zhao Yun at the head, followed by two rows of officials, Wen on the left and Wu on the right.

In the middle of the two rows of officials were some people holding small jars in their hands.

These people were men and women, old and young, with sad expressions on their faces, but their chests were straight.

The jars in their hands were covered with a red silk cloth.

"Who are these people?"

"What's that in your hand?"

"Why is it still covered with a big red cloth?"

"Why are there still female dolls?"

The people couldn't understand it anymore.

"These people are all orphans of heroic souls. What they are holding in their hands is the ashes of heroic souls. What is covered on them is not a red cloth, but a small version of the Dayu flag. This is His Majesty's permission. The prospective heroic souls are covered with the national flag and let them The family members personally send all the martyrs to the Hall of Heroes."

Liu Qingqing arranged for people in plain clothes to mingle among the crowd, specifically responsible for explaining to the illiterate people.

"Your Majesty's new rites and laws have stipulated that men and women should be equal to the people of Yu the Great."

"His Majesty has personally stated that the idea that a woman's body is yin and entering the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices will disturb the souls of her ancestors is a nonsense made by ignorant people. Women should also be qualified to inherit the incense and offer sacrifices to their ancestors."

Ah!

The common people exclaimed in their hearts, and the women in the crowd who were watching the ceremony suddenly turned red after hearing this.

"Your Majesty is so kind! Woohoo..."

"Yes, we are so lucky to be born in Dayu!"

"I want to join the army!"

"Uuuuuuu, I wanted to join the army last year. I passed the martial arts test but failed the literary test. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu don’t you want to join the army?"

The soldiers responsible for maintaining order were also a little unable to hold on. With tears in their eyes, they continued to maintain order with their hands on the ground like a benchmark.

If you are like this, what else can I ask for?

This life will be sold to his Shangguan family from now on!
