134. Zhao Er, let's go home!

The emperor was obviously persuaded by Tang He. He also led troops to fight, led by the army, and had his own personal soldiers who had been killed in his arms.

Defeat Xue Ju, defeat Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, Hulao Pass defeated Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, annihilated Liu Heita, and conquered Xu Yuanlang...

In that war, wasn’t both sides fighting to make you live?

After which war, Li Shimin, who was still a general, did not cry secretly?

Once upon a time, I and my brother argued endlessly for the soldiers’ pensions!

Once upon a time, I also looked at the cans of pots filled with ashes and felt that I had no face to see the elders of Jiangdong?

When did I actually lose my debt to the deceased soldiers in my heart, and I felt that "one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone" was taken for granted; and when did I start to become numb and feel that the court has done well enough?

"This monument has been erected!"

The emperor said solemnly: "You are right. The living need rewards, and the dead need honors. As long as the specifications are met, you will draw a memorial to the Secretariat of the Secretariat in Tanghe. I personally approve the rewards!"

"Yes! I'm going to leave!"

Tang Heshang solemnly saluted the emperor and turned around and left.

At noon that day, a memorial of nearly 2,000 words was passed from Chang'an College to Liangyi Hall. The emperor held a pen and wrote a word "Ke" on the memorial!

The next day, the rewards for the Tanghe people who were reading again at the court meeting, the rewards for the quelling of the rebellion were not changed, and the rewards for the living soldiers and craftsmen did not change. Instead, in the final pension for the deaths, the fourteen soldiers could receive the salary of ninth-rank officials for ten years as support and alimony for ten years.

At the same time, the court issued another order: Yingyangwei was established on the same day, Li Zhen, Cheng Chubi and Fang Er were appointed as Yingyangwei Lang, and Yingyangwei General was still undecided. A work to build a monument fell to the Taichang Temple, which originally only cared for sacrifices and construction.

On that day, the old Taichangqing handed over the construction of the monument to the fifth-rank Taichang Temple Chief.

Tang He, who walked out of Tai Chi Hall with the imperial edict, finally felt that he was not so nervous, and suggested that several friends send the fourteen brothers who died home together.

......

Yongzhou Prefecture and Jingyang County are more than 130 miles away from Chang'an. There is a small village in the county, which is named after its surname, just like most villages in the Tang Dynasty.

This village has a surname of "Zhao".

There has never been any great person, and there is not even a person who has read books and can read and read.

The people in the village, under the Tang Dynasty's equal fields, opened up fields in the land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

On October 27th, it was still raining and snowing.

During the Shen period, Lao Zhaotou was digging the ridge of the field and building a canal with the labor force in the village.

With spring rain next year, these canals will become the best and only means to irrigate the fields.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound at the entrance of the village, and a team of ten horses and five generals wearing armor appeared in the eyes of Lao Zhaotou and the villagers.

As the village chief, Lao Zhao had never seen such beautiful armor. Even when the palace soldiers were recruiting, Lao Zhao had only seen half of the fish scale leather armor.

In contrast, Old Zhao quickly realized that the five generals in front of him must be more advanced than the half-fish scale armor recruited at that time!

Lao Zhao quickly walked up to him while wiping the soil on his face with his sleeves, which would not leave a bad impression on the nobles!

When they walked to the five officers, Old Zhao realized that they were all young people!

"I've seen several generals!"

Old Zhao bowed and asked with a good look: "The little old man is the village chief here. What's the point of being here for us Zhaojia Village?"

Tang Heshang turned over and dismounted, bowed and bowed to Lao Zhao's head. This scared Lao Zhao's head and hurriedly said, "Oh, General Ye Yao Xiao Lao, what's wrong? The general told me to do this, why do you have to do this?"

Tang Heshang shook his head and said, "The old village chief should be respected by his younger generation! We are from Chang'an. I would like to ask the old village chief for a question, and I would like to ask the old village chief to answer truthfully!"

"Ask, ask!"

Old Zhao replied with a smile.

"Is there a soldier named Zhao Er in the village?"

Tang Heshang said: "If so, please ask the village chief to take me to his house!"

"But that Zhao Er who is afraid of pain?"

"yes!"

"Here! Zhao Erzhu's baby! Come with me!"

While leading the way, Old Zhao talked about the embarrassing thing that Zhao Er was afraid of pain, and said, "That kid is a good kid, afraid of pain, but not coward!"

Follow Lao Zhaotou into the village and finally arrive at a thatched hut with only three or four rooms.

Old Zhao said to Tang He and others, "This is Zhao Er's home. His father is Zhao Erzhu and his brother is Zhao Da. Zhao Er has a sister-in-law, a nephew, a wife and a child! Zhao Da is working in the village now!"

After saying that, the old Zhao shouted to the room: "Zhao Erzhu, Zhao Dada's wife, Zhao Er's wife, there is a noble person coming to find you!"

Soon, a hunched old man walked out of the house, and the old man's hair was gray.

Looking at the five people on Tang He, Zhao Erzhu bowed with anxiety and said, "Several Shangguan, but what trouble did Zhao Er's coward cause in Zuo Wuwei?"

"Zhao Er!"

The Adam's apple rolled on the Tang River, spit out two words, and then knelt down to the ground and said, "Senior, Zhao Er and Zhao Er died when they suppressed the rebellion in Lingnan!"

"Bang"!

Zhao Erzhu was still stunned, and suddenly a sound of something shattering on the ground suddenly came out behind him.

Cheng Chubi looked over and saw a peasant woman standing in panic at the door. There was a broken clay pot at the bluestone ridge at the door.

The woman murmured: Why is it gone?

After a distance of more than ten steps, Cheng Chubi couldn't see that there were two rivers of tears on the peasant woman's face, nor could he hear the peasant woman's murmur.

However, the slightly hunched old man in front of him staggered and almost fell down!

Tears were rolling in the deep eyes, and Zhao Erzhu cried and said, "Why is it gone? Didn't you say that there will be no war?"

Tang Heshang supported his hands on the ground and knocked down with a loud bang: "I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, the woman at the door quickly walked to Tanghe, and asked, "How did Zhao Er die?"

"Zhao Er...!"

Tang Heshang opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, it was me who was careless. Zhao Ercai died because of saving me!"

The peasant woman wiped her tears, but she dripped more. Her tone was very cold, but it made Tang He feel heart-wrenching.

The peasant woman said, "Save you? Why do you need to save you? Just because you are an official? Why aren't you the one who died?"

Cheng Chubi and Fang Er and four others were buried with their heads, like ostrichs!

"Where is the corpse?"

The peasant woman bit her lip and whimpered hard, "Where is Zhao Er's body?"

Tang Heshang took out the package behind him, took out a white porcelain jar from it, served it with both hands, and said nothing!

The peasant woman stretched out her hand and took the jar tremblingly. While stroking, she turned around and walked into the house. The cold wind blew by. Seven words were heard on Tanghe: "Zhao Er, we are back home!"
