Chapter 299: Respectfully invite the heroic spirit of Dayu to enter the mausoleum!
"yes!"
"The life of my baby is cheap. If he dies, he will die!"
"His Royal Highness King Sheng is a rich man. When there was a drought in the capital, we had no harvest. It was His Highness King Sheng who ordered people to set up grain sheds outside the city and used his own money to cook porridge for the villagers!"
"Back then, when His Royal Highness Prince Sheng was involved in politics, he also submitted petitions every year to ask His Majesty for tax reductions!"
"I am an old soldier who retired from Xuanjian Pass..."
The common people recounted the deeds of King Sheng one by one. Ning Fan looked very moved, but shook his head slightly.
"Folks!"
"Quiet for a moment, I, the king, will say a few words!"
Ning Fan pressed his hands, and the people also calmed down and focused their eyes on him.
"In the battle in the Western Region, more than 100,000 of my sons, Dayu, were killed!"
"Perhaps, there are sons, fathers, husbands, and even grandchildren of all of you here!"
"They, like Brother Sheng Wang, are my heroes in Dayu!"
Ning Fan's voice became more solemn and he said loudly: "Today, they sacrificed their lives for me, Dayu. Tomorrow, perhaps all of you here, even me, may die on the battlefield!"
"Since the founding of the country by Dayu, there have been constant wars on all sides. Thousands of men have died in battles over the years!"
"But my country, Zuo, is as stable as a rock. My fire is passed down from generation to generation. The soul of my country is endless. My people, my people, are endless!"
"Whether it's Da Yan or Nanman, they want to seize my land and steal my food. How can we agree?"
"Of course you can't!"
"These invaders want to take away everything that belongs to us. We must raise arms and fight with our lives!"
"Brother Prince Sheng, he went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen. He was a soldier and a general. It is the fate of a soldier to die in battle!"
"I, General Yu, am not afraid of death!"
"I, the prince of Dayu, will not hesitate to die!"
"Your son can die in battle, and so can your Majesty's son. The prince guards the country, the king dies for the country, the civil servants are not greedy for money, and the military generals are willing to die. Only then can I, Dayu, stand in the countries of the Central Plains for thousands of years!"
Ning Fan's tone was sonorous and powerful, and the people in front of him were all moved. They never expected that such words would come from the mouth of a prince. If their son could die in battle, so could your Majesty's son?
"Your Highness, our lives are cheap. If we die, we will die... You are worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
"That's wrong!"
Ning Fan directly interrupted the old man's voice and said solemnly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
"Everyone!"
"Since the great ancestor established the country and expanded its territory, whenever a country encounters a major event, men must be there to sacrifice their bodies with the sacrificial soldiers to sacrifice the country. Even if the bones are turned into mounds and the rivers are overflowing with blood, you must not insult the country's soil or mourn the country's territory!"
"A warrior wears his heart and soul, and puts his body on the blade. A handsome man's sleeves are full of blood, and the king's sharp blade shines brightly."
"I do not distinguish between old and young, high or low, and I will work together with all my strength to pour out the water of the Li River, break the waves of the East China Sea, conquer the land in all directions, destroy the bases of the eight barbarians, defeat the bandits who bully you, and defeat the barbarians! "
"Then the blue sea flows across the river, and I have no shame in standing upright. Let the corpses cover the fields, but my soul can rely on me!"
"This is the soul of my country, Dayu!"
"Even if I die thousands of times, I will never give up an inch of ground and won't be bullied!"
"With a body of seven feet and a spear of eight feet, guard my territory and my people!"
"This is a proof that both heaven and earth can learn from!"
Ning Fan slowly raised his right hand, fisted his five fingers, and shouted in a low voice: "Anyone who offends me, Dayu, will be killed no matter how far away he is; anyone who bullies me will be killed no matter how strong he is!"
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed!"
After the simple people were brainwashed by Ning Fan, their blood instantly flowed backwards, and they all stopped at the neck and roared with all their strength!
Not far away, inside the palace wall, Emperor Yu and the ministers in the court stopped quietly, looking at the tall and straight body. Suddenly, they seemed to have seen a prosperous age!
"It's so similar!"
"Um?"
Hearing Shen Li's murmur, Ji Sui glanced at him doubtfully: "Mr. Shen, who do you look like?"
"His Royal Highness Sheng Wang back then..."
"No!"
When Xie Xingxian heard the conversation between the two, he shook his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yong, cannot be King Sheng..."
Everyone around them looked startled, each lost in thought.
Behind Emperor Yu, there was a look of confusion on the third child's face. Back then, Brother Sheng was able to overwhelm all the other princes. Now, King Sheng died in the battle in the Western Region, but the familiar feeling has returned. …
The fourth child's eyes were full of reluctance, and he clenched his fists tightly, secretly making great ambitions in his heart. One day, he would trample them all under his feet. No matter how dazzling they are at the moment, the person who sits on that throne, It must be him!
The face of Ning Xuan, the fifth elder, was full of admiration, and could even be said to be admiration. Only someone like the second emperor brother could be called a man!
Lao Liu was deep in thought and had no color on his face. Only Lao Qi could not help but feel a sense of inferiority in his heart. However, he was soon swept away by the darkness and his eyes were fixed on the figure not far away.
You are waiting for me, and one day I will trample you under my feet and ravage your face with the soles of my feet!
…
"Buried!"
Following the official's shout, the skeletons of the soldiers brought back from the Western Region were buried in the cemetery one after another!
The corpses of many soldiers could not be found, and there were even many unknown corpses.
Their ashes and bones were buried in the same pit, forming a huge tomb. Tens of thousands of small stone tablets stood in front of it, and each small stone tablet was engraved with a person's name and identity during his lifetime!
"Xiaowuying, Xu Chun!"
"Xiaoqi Camp, King Twelve!"
Stone tablets like this are densely packed and scattered on the tombs. The ceremony officers are singing mournful music on the side. The soldiers of the Western Camp come forward and insert the daggers brought back from the Western Region on the tombs.
"bye!"
Following a loud shout from the ceremony officer, Emperor Yu came forward with a stick of incense and placed it in front of the tomb. The ministers paid their respects. There was a thunder in the sky and snowflakes fell. It was obviously the dead of winter, but the sound of winter was heard in the sky. Thunder, it's snowing heavily.
"Goodbye!"
"Three obeisances!"
"After the ceremony, let's toast!"
Bowls of strong liquor were brought up by the ceremony officers and distributed among the ministers in front of them. Even though Shen Li was ill and could not drink, his face turned red and he drank it all in one gulp, followed by a violent cough.
After all, the old man is old.
"Climb the tower and summon the soul!"
Emperor Yu led his ministers to the Heroic Soul Tower in the center of the mausoleum and called out to all directions: "I respectfully invite my heroic soul, Yu the Great, to return home and enter the mausoleum!"
…
After returning from the Martyrs Cemetery, Ning Fan, Guo Jia and others gathered together. Wei Ying sent a decree, which made everyone curious.
"Your Majesty has decreed that King Yong should be made the governor of the sixteen states in Huainan. He can build a palace and recruit 50,000 troops to assist Zhennan Mansion in guarding the southern border."
"You can combine states and counties on your own, appoint officials, and you need to report to the court!"
"Give the Emperor a sword to kill traitorous ministers. Kill them first and then show them!"
