"It seems to be under those folds." When Yan Fu received the folds, he didn't pay too much attention. He felt that the matter was not urgent, so he put it together with the folds that needed to be read. He thought that the emperor might not have time yet. Go and see.
"Find it quickly." In contrast, Emperor Qianwen said a little impatiently. Then he added: "From now on, the information from Duke Zhongguo must be delivered to me first. Humph! Compared with Duke Zhongguo's, he said Zhezi, among those ministers’ Zhezi, not many of them talk about serious matters.”
"My slave understands." Yan Fu agreed quickly, while keeping this matter in mind.
Soon, the folds were found and brought to Emperor Qianwen. "The Tomb of the Heroes, well, the name is apt. Haha, go and get the best rice paper." Emperor Qianwen chuckled.
Inscriptions can be said to be the favorite of scholars, as they represent a symbol of status. However, the emperor's inscriptions are completely different, and who can often get them represents his own status symbol and honor. It’s also hard to find.
But this time, Shen Ao just made a request, and Emperor Qianwen agreed. Probably because he saw what was written on the book, saying that this tomb of heroes will be passed down forever. If you can inscribe on it, it will be passed down through the ages. Emperor Qianwen was naturally willing to do the things he wanted to do.
The memorial not only mentioned the matter of asking the emperor to inscribe an inscription, but also said that the tomb ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow. If Emperor Qianwen could come to the scene in person, it would be a very meaningful event.
Not only does it mean that the blood of the warriors was not shed in vain, but it also proves that their actions are remembered and affirmed by Da Qian. This will greatly encourage the soldiers in the army. If there is another war, everyone will fight to the death. , will work hard for their own honor.
"That's right, that's right. Yan Fu, go find the two servants and the Minister of War." Emperor Qianwen agreed with Shen Ao's statement. He had also led troops to fight, so he naturally knew what was happening on the battlefield. It's extremely dangerous. But why do soldiers sacrifice their lives for you?
I don't just hope that I can take this opportunity to stand out and be promoted to an official position.
But in fact, there are very few people who can really stand out on the battlefield, especially those who died in the war. Apart from the fact that their families can get some compensation after returning, there is nothing else. Even if their relatives want to I don't know where to go to see the fallen warriors.
Now that we have this tomb of heroes, this problem has been solved. Not only that, it also gives them a sufficient sense of glory, which will surely greatly stimulate the morale of the military. In the future, when there is a life-and-death battle, there will be fewer soldiers. Saved a lot of worries.
Considering these benefits, the ceremony should not be too sloppy. Instead, it should be bigger. It is best to let everyone know about it, so that it can have the greatest effect.
Putting his mind on the matter of the Tomb of the Heroes, Emperor Qianwen didn't care so much about the matter of King Xiang. In other words, he was completely disappointed with his third son.
Even if he was completely disappointed, where would the blame come from? If it weren't for the fact that King Xiang had King Qi behind him, this son would have been sent out, out of sight and out of mind.
...
Prince Xiang's Mansion.
It took him a whole morning to deal with his own affairs. After coming out of Dali Temple, Han Ce didn't even return home and went straight to Prince Xiang's Mansion. He was still thinking about whether Prince Xiang The money has been returned.
When they arrived at Prince Xiang's Mansion, Wang Yu blocked the fight. "Mr. Han, His Highness is ill. I'm afraid it's not convenient to see people now. If you have anything to do, please come back in two days."
"How is Prince Xiang? It's okay." Han Ce didn't think that much. He really thought that Prince Xiang was in poor health, so he asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just need a good rest and can't be disturbed by other people." Wang Yu said with a serious face. But only he himself knew that King Xiang was not in good health at this time. He was clearly jumping around.
I was having a great time playing with the young women in the inner courtyard.
To say that King Xiang pretended to be ill was not to target Han Ce, but was an idea given to him by Shi Zitong. As long as King Xiang told the public that he was ill, even if something happened during this period, there would be excuses.
Even if His Majesty wants to blame him, it's hard to blame him.
As soon as the idea came up, King Xiang applauded loudly, which led to the current act of pretending to be ill. Since it was meant to be fake, of course it had to be made more realistic. It is impossible for one's own staff to meet each other as soon as they arrive. If this spreads out,
, I am afraid that someone will expose this matter.
"It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens." Han Ce nodded reassuringly. Then thinking of what happened yesterday, he asked with concern, "My lord, I don't know if His Highness has returned the silver to the palace.
?”
"Oh, our family doesn't know about this." Wang Yu gave an ambiguous answer. But when Han Ce heard this answer, his eyes widened in an instant, and he quickly
I figured out the twists and turns involved.
Wang Yu is the eunuch chief steward next to Prince Xiang, who is equivalent to the chief steward of Prince Xiang's palace. Once as much as ten million taels of silver is used, it is impossible not to alert him, and he will most likely be responsible for the matter.
.
But now, Wang Yu said that he did not know about this matter. There is only one answer, that is, Prince Xiang has no intention of withdrawing the money. And it is very likely that he is not really sick, but just found an excuse for this.
.
Think about it, if people are sick, it is normal for them not to think about withdrawing money. In this case, Your Majesty would not blame him directly.
Do you really think that you can get away with it by pretending to be sick? His Majesty is so wise today, how can he not see through such a trick? This is clearly like going to the grave and burning newspapers - to fool the devil.
Thinking that Emperor Qianwen would definitely be able to see through this trick, and thinking that Prince Xiang would lose his favor as a result, and even form a selfish impression in front of His Majesty, it would not be possible to make up for it with ten million taels of silver. I'm afraid.
After this incident, His Majesty will only be more disappointed with Prince Xiang.
After the accident of the former prince, Han Ce once held out hope that the prince's position would be on the throne of Xiang. However, there was no movement. Although the ministers reported, they only mentioned Concubine Yuan as the concubine of Emperor Yuan, and Prince Xiang himself did not get it.
More benefits.
This has already proved something. If King Xiang is smarter, he should behave well and do some practical and important things to show His Majesty his ability. But King Xiang, on the contrary, seems not to have seen any of this.
He only cares about wooing the courtiers and amassing money. But he doesn't know that by doing this, he may lose the favor of the saint. If so, he will lose the qualification to inherit the throne. That is the biggest failure and loss.
Even though he had thought of this, Han Ce had no ability to change at all. Now that he couldn't even see the real master, how could he offer advice?
Shaking his head, Han Ce seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and left Prince Xiang's Mansion with weak feet.
King Xiang's performance made Han Ce very disappointed, and he couldn't see the slightest hope. If he continued to follow King Xiang, he was afraid that there would be no results at all, and if he didn't do it well, he would be implicated. maybe.
When the accident happened to the former prince, so many courtiers were implicated. That was a lesson learned from the past. He didn't want to become like that one day. But where could he go after leaving Prince Xiang's Mansion?
At this time, Han Ce was envious of Zeng Tong for some reason. This person was favored by Shen Ao and now became Duke Zhongguo's right-hand man. I guess with Duke Zhongguo's mind, it should be a pleasure to work under him.
...
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qianwen called two servants, an internal minister and a minister of the Ministry of War. After reading the excerpt submitted by Shen Ao to the four of them one by one, he said, "The advice of Duke Zhongguo. I think it is necessary, so I have already inscribed it and sent it to Duke Zhongguo's house. The day after tomorrow is the day when the foundation stone will be laid. After much thought, I decided to go there in person. At that time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including the military personnel in Daliang City, All the soldiers must be in place, everyone loves you, but is there any problem?"
The emperor has made a decision, and now he comes to ask the ministers if they have any ideas and what else they can say. Of course, they can only clasp their fists and make a promise.
"Very good, then go and inform my dear friends that in this grand ceremony, all officials of Daliang City's fifth rank and above, and those without sufficient reasons, must participate." Emperor Qianwen made the matter final with a wave of his hand. Come down.
Immediately, the decree was spread, reaching all officials, and also caused a lot of shock among the people.
In an inconspicuous courtyard in the south of Daliang City, Feng Wanli was listening to the knights under his command reporting the news they had just learned in the market.
It is not appropriate to say he is a ranger. This subordinate was already a member of the Sifang Sect at this time. After he reported the matter to Feng Wanli, he did not forget to say excitedly, "Master, Lord Guo" As expected, he did not lie to us, he really built a tomb for the brothers so that they could have a resting place."
"Yes, what Mr. Guo said has always been true. How could he lie to us?" Feng Wanli replied with a sigh after hearing this.
"Master, shall we go the next day?" the congregation asked with expectant expressions.
"Of course I want to go. But it would be too public to spread out, especially if it doesn't attract the attention of the Ministry of War. You know, they are still trying to recruit us." Feng Wanli thought that the Ministry of War had already been looking for us in two days. He rejected him three times, but he also rejected him three times, so he spoke with emotion.
In view of the excellent performance of the rangers in the barbarian land, they were noticed by the Ministry of War as soon as they returned to Daliang City and became the target of recruitment.
To say that the Ministry of War takes them seriously, in order to show enough sincerity, they have also given them some suitable positions, such as corps commander, commander, and even centurion.
