Chapter 511: The Martyrs' Shrine (seeking a monthly ticket)
"My dear friends, report early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"
Qin Shihuang looked very relaxed in this matter, and even looked slightly on Chen Xu. It seemed that as long as Chen Xu was sitting here, he felt very at ease.
Many ministers naturally saw the emperor's eyes full of love. Meng Yi's skin twitched a few times. Feng Quji was calm and breeze, but Li Si's face was dull and lowered his head and sighed slightly.
Seeing that the civil and military officials in the court seemed to have no intention of reporting, Qin Shihuang was about to stand up, but Chen Xu thought for a moment and stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, I still have a report!"
"Oh, my dear, please tell me!" Qin Shihuang sat down again, his tone very gentle.
"Your Majesty, General Li Xin and General Jiang Hu both led our Qin soldiers to a great victory. The Huns suffered heavy damage. This is an unprecedented victory in our Central Plains. Therefore, when Li Xin and General Jiang Hu returned to the court, many soldiers who had won great achievements must receive rewards. However, those dead soldiers were buried outside the frontier, and their bodies could not be returned home, and their heroic souls were wandering in another place. These soldiers are the warriors of our Qin. In order to allow the people of the world and descendants to remember their merits, I asked Your Majesty to build a temple of heroes, worship their spiritual positions, and receive worship from all the people, so as to commemorate their courage and fearlessness, and guide their souls to return to their hometown to rest!"
Chen Xu said this and the entire hall was extremely quiet. After a moment, Wei Liao, the commander of the Ministry of War, stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the Hou of Qinghe are very convinced. Building a temple of heroes and martyrs and accepting incense worship will greatly boost the blood and courage of our Great Qin soldiers, and greatly inspire the soldiers' enthusiasm for serving the country!"
"I'm going to ask!" Another general wearing brocade robe stood up.
"I'm going to discuss it!" This time, not only military generals, but also civil officials stood up.
"Your Majesty, I, the Great Qin, are proud of military merits and killing the enemy as merits. But rewards alone are not enough. I also need some glory beyond rewards. This Hero Martyrs Temple is to commemorate the heroes and martyrs who sacrifice their blood for the Great Qin Dynasty and build the Hero Martyrs Temple to inspire all the Great Qin soldiers to let them know that even if they die, we will still remember their contributions, and will pass on this incense for a hundred and a thousand years. Some people will remember the sacrifices they made for this country!" Chen Xu saluted Qin Shihuang again with a serious face.
"The right minister obeys the order!" Qin Shihuang's face became very serious at this time.
"I'm here!" Feng Quji quickly stood up.
"I ordered the six tribes to choose a place to build the Heroes' Temple as soon as possible. On the day of completion, they will enshrine the spiritual thrones of the soldiers who died in Henan and Hebei, and will be worshipped by all the people. In the future, if there are soldiers who die in war, they will enshrine them all!"
"Your Majesty's wise!" All the civil and military officials stood up almost at the same time to salute.
Chen Xu has been thinking about the construction of the Heroes Temple for a long time. Yesterday, when he received news of Jianghu's great victory in Hebei, he prepared to write a memorial in the newspaper hall. Of course, it was not just about the construction of the Heroes Temple, but also a complete system of military medals. However, yesterday, I was too busy and plowed the fields until dawn in the evening. I was called to court by the emperor in a daze, and I didn't bring the memorials I wrote. Therefore, I simply took this opportunity to get the matter of the Heroes Temple first. Moreover, the military merit rewards of the twenty-level military merits are very detailed. Whether there is any military medal is actually not very meaningful, but Chen Xu felt it was too cumbersome.
After the court scattered, Chen Xu yawned and climbed up his carriage and urged him to go back to the house quickly. He took advantage of the cool weather in the morning and then lie on the bed for a while. When he was about to get home, two people with hats on the road suddenly stood up and stopped his carriage.
"Knock ~" The accompanying guards all drew their swords and immediately surrounded the two of them. The guard leader shouted: "Who dares to stop Qinghe Hou's car!"
"Marty, old friends ask for it, please see me!" One of them lifted the hat on his head, revealing a young and handsome face.
Chen Xu heard the sound quite familiar, so he quickly asked the guards to disperse and saw that it was Jiang Chuxing, the son of Jiang Beiting.
"How is Brother Jiang here?" Chen Xu got out of the car in surprise.
"Mr. Marquis, my father was detained and imprisoned. Chu Xing was already guilty and imprisoned at home. Today he sneaked out to see the Marquis because he hoped that the Marquis could help save my father. Chu Xing was grateful!" Jiang Chuxing said his purpose directly.
Chen Xu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, go back. I have already dealt with this matter in secret. At most, one or two days, your father Jiang Beiting and uncle Jiang Heng will be released home, and they will also perform their duties again. Jiang Heng will be transferred to the county magistrate of another county, and your father will be transferred to the county magistrate of another county. Although he cannot be restored to his post, it is not difficult to be promoted again in time!"
"Really?" Jiang Chuxing was extremely surprised and knelt in front of Chen Xu excitedly, "Jiang Chuxing thanked the Marquis for his kindness!"
"Haha, thank you, don't thank you, Brother Jiang invites you. In Qinghe Town that day, Lord Jiang has a kindness to me. I remember this kindness Xu is in my heart and I dare not forget it. Now that Lord Jiang is in trouble, Xu will naturally find a way to save him. Moreover, your uncle Jiang Hu made great contributions this time. The emperor is very happy, and it is also possible for me to operate from it. You can go back to your house and wait with peace of mind. Things have turned around. At the same time, tell your family not to worry!"
"Thank you, Marquis!" Jiang Chuxing stood up with a trembling body, his eyes were red, and his tears were wiped with tears on his sleeves and said, "Half a month ago, there was a sudden news that it was said that a fire in Nanyang Cang was burned to pieces by hundreds of thousands of stones of food. Then a few days ago, the court suddenly changed drastically. My uncle was detained and imprisoned. The soldiers of the Ministry of Justice also surrounded our family and did not allow anyone to leave without permission. He also said that someone had been arranged to go to Nanyang to detain my father. Chu Xing had been in Xianyang and was confused. When his mother heard the news, she was convulsed and was bedridden. The family was completely in chaos. The day before yesterday, my younger sister came back from Nanyang alone. I knew the whole story. Originally, Chu Xing didn't dare to disturb the Marquis, but when he saw the newspaper early this morning, he realized that my uncle Jiang Hu had attacked the Xiongnu royal court in Hebei and killed the Xiongnu Shanyu. Therefore, Chu Xing felt that with this matter, he begged the Marquis to make a move, and perhaps he could save his father and uncle..."
After hearing this, Chen Xu nodded and said, "Indeed, if it weren't for the news of General Jiang Hu's victory, I'm afraid your father and Lord Jiang Heng would not be able to get rid of the last incident. Haha, but fortunately, I received the news of the good news yesterday and communicated with Lord Meng of the Supervision Province as soon as possible. Yesterday, the emperor had already clarified the way to deal with your father and uncle, which was to be demoted to another place. Don't worry, go back, your father and uncle will be released from prison soon!"
"Thank you, Marquis! I'll go back and tell my mother and family!" Jiang Chuxing bowed excitedly and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Brother Jiang, your sister is okay!" Chen Xu remembered the willful and willful Jiang Chuyuelai. When she was in Chi County, she not only looked at her naked body, but also splashed herself with water. Then the two of them were disliked each other, but now they have not seen each other for more than a year. Moreover, such a huge change occurred in the Jiang family, I am afraid that a spoiled little girl since childhood would not be easy to withstand this blow.
Jiang Chuxing nodded with a slightly strange expression and said, "Thank you for your concern, good luck with your little sister!"
"That's good. I have something to do. Go back quickly!" Chen Xu nodded and climbed onto the carriage and sat down. Then the carriage started and left under the escort of the guards, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
"Little sister, you have already seen it now. Let's go back and tell your mother and aunts this good news!" Jiang Chuxing said to the person next to him with a straw hat.
The hat was lifted up, revealing a slightly thin and beautiful face, with a slightly messy hair, a sad face, and a chapped lips. Looking at the direction where Chen Xu left, two lines of tears kept flowing down.
"Ah~" Jiang Chuxing looked at his sister's expression and couldn't help but sigh and shook his head and said, "Little sister, you and the Marquis are no longer destined to be together. He just married Shui and then Princess Qingning. But now that Princess Qingning has passed away, the emperor will definitely marry the fifth princess to him. And I heard that he will also marry Lord Meng's legitimate daughter. When his father is released from prison and goes to the border county to perform his duties, he will definitely bring you there. From now on, the mountains and rivers are far away. Don't think too much. If you had known today, why should you be the first? Alas~"
He was stopped and harassed by Jiang Chuxing on the way. After Chen Xu returned home, he found that he was no longer sleepy. He simply sat in the study and took out a ruler and compass to start designing a few coins, but he couldn't calm down. It seemed that there was always a shadow of someone swaying in his mind.
Chen Xu threw the compass in his hand on the table and sighed slightly.
Jiang Beiting and Jiang Heng were able to pick out Zhao Zhe's affairs without any danger, largely because of Jiang Hu's victory. However, even if the emperor forgives the two of them, he will definitely be demoted to a remote and remote place to serve. As for where to go, Chen Xu naturally doesn't know, and it is not easy to get involved. After all, this is something that the emperor and the Ministry of Personnel need to consider.
But if it is demoted to the bitter and cold areas of the northwest and northeastern borders, Jiang Chuyue will probably have to suffer with it.
Chen Xu sighed again, then took out a map of the Qin Dynasty, and his eyes suddenly fell into two places marked as Wuxian and Peixian.
Because these two places were written in red cinnabar when Chen Xu first drew this map, which was particularly obvious.
Chapter completed!
