The process was extremely bloody, and many people couldn't stand it after seeing only dozens of knives, and couldn't help but avoid it.

When Zhu Cihong stared at the three hundred knives, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, in the end it was too cruel, although Zhu Cihong also fought twice and was used to seeing life and death, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, Zhu Cihong could only comfort himself that these are traitors deserve it, as an emperor, Zhu Cihong can't show any unnecessary emotions, and when he saw the knife, Zhu Cihong became as hard as iron, and he was cruel with a thousand knives, but when he thought of hundreds of thousands of people dying because of these three traitors, he also felt that he was no longer cruel, this is what they should be, Even if each soldier who died in battle in Xuzhou and the innocent people who were implicated and died were counted as one knife each, these three traitors should be hundreds of thousands of knives, and 3,600 knives are considered to be cheap.

The Qing army unexpectedly invaded Xuzhou in the Xuzhou War, and not only nearly 300,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, but also more than 100,000 innocent people living in the city were implicated, and they also died under the Manchurian sword, which must be counted on the heads of Li Huaxi and the others.

When Li Huaxi and the three of them were breathing in infinite pain, many people looked at the sky with tears and shouted: "Big brother, the traitor who killed you by my brother is finally dead, and your revenge has been avenged!" ”

Yes, the revenge of those who died because of the Battle of Xuzhou has been avenged.

When the execution was completed, Zhu Cihong glanced at the people below and announced loudly: "Li Huaxi, Lan Tian, Zhang Tao and other three traitors are dead, but there are not only the three of them in the world, there are more traitors, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and other biggest traitors have not died yet, I will not let go of any of those traitors, all traitors must die!" I will continue to send people to hunt down the traitors and bring them all to justice! ”

"At the same time, I plan to build a martyr's pavilion and a traitor pit, since I succeeded to the throne, all the heroic souls who died for the Ming Dynasty can enter the martyr's pavilion, every winter, I will personally lead the hundred officials to worship, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, those martyrs who died for the Ming Dynasty will enjoy the incense forever! At the same time, once all traitors are confirmed, they will also be cast into villains, and engraved with their names and birthdays into the traitor pit, and will be scolded by all the people for life and life, and the traitor pit will be the most filthy place in the world, and I want to make all traitors in the future never be able to live forever! "Zhu Cihong is impassioned in every word, this is his commitment, but also his responsibility!

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The people all cheered, only thinking that the emperor was too wise, especially those whose families had died on the battlefield, and even kowtowed to thank the emperor with tears, which means that their families did not die in vain.

On the same day, Daming Daily published the execution process of the three traitors, as well as the words of the emperor at the trial, and the news that the Heroic Pavilion and the traitor pit were about to be established.

There is no doubt that all the Ming soldiers were so excited that their morale was soaring after they knew that all those who died in battle could enter the Martyrs' Pavilion to receive incense worship.

You must know that in the feudal era, sacrifice was not a trivial matter, not to mention that the emperor personally took the lead in worship, and it was a symbol of glory, which made those ordinary soldiers how not to be excited.

Of course, compared with the generals and soldiers, the mood of the civilian officials is not very good, and it is even more intense than Zhu Cihong's reaction to repeatedly tampering with the ancestral system.

In the morning of the next day, a civil official immediately raised it on the spot in the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate to establish the Heroic Pavilion, the treasury has long been empty, and there is no silver to support it at all!" This is an official of the household department, and I don't know if he said it himself or someone else instructed it.

Most of the civil officials glanced at each other, and they all nodded slightly to each other, it seems that these people are all people who want to oppose it, and now the first person has proposed it, the best! Immediately, all these people stepped forward to express their agreement with the words of the household official.

No one dares to directly say that the Heroic Martyrs' Pavilion should not be established, and it is almost a tradition that the Ming Dynasty emphasizes military force over military force, although the civilian officials despise the generals, but they really dare not risk offending the soldiers and soldiers of the world to show it directly.

These civil officials are actually jealous, admired by later generations of incense is the pursuit of civil officials, the Ming Dynasty is heavy on military affairs, the status of civil officials is much higher than that of military generals, if the Heroic Pavilion is established, does it not mean that civil officials will be pressed by the generals immediately, in their eyes, military generals are a group of reckless men, how can they tolerate the military generals from now on their heads, must come out to oppose!

Zhu Cihong naturally knew the thoughts of the civil officials, and said with a smile: "This is wrong, the Heroic Pavilion is about the heroic souls of the soldiers who sacrificed their precious lives for the Ming Dynasty, and it must be established no matter what, how can it not be built because the treasury is in an emergency, so let's do it, all the silver comes out of my inner nu, and I must save the silver of the Heroic Pavilion even if I eat bran every day, so you don't have to worry!" ”

All the civil officials immediately choked up, and they couldn't speak for a while, the emperor said so, how could they still oppose it, but if they didn't object, how could they be willing to let the military generals override them.

Qian Qianyi and several other civil officials couldn't sit still, and immediately came out and said: "It is not inappropriate for the emperor to establish a martyr's pavilion for the fallen soldiers, but if the emperor still has to burn incense and worship every year, is the standard too high." ”

"Furthermore, why is there only a heroic pavilion for military generals, and if Wenchen also died for the Ming Dynasty, how should he deal with it."

"Yes, if we die for Daming, what should we do, Qian Shoufu's words can really be said to our hearts." The ministers below exchanged their heads and whispered about each other.

Zhu Cihong nodded: "It's my negligence, indeed, all those who die for the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the civil ministers and military generals, should be treated equally, so let's do it, the Heroic Pavilion and the traitor pit should be built, and I will also establish a famous minister's shrine, where the people are loved by all the people and have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, after death, the heroic souls can welcome into the famous minister's shrine and receive incense forever, and I will also go to burn incense and worship every year." ”

Zhu Cihong's seemingly compromised, but in fact, it had been calculated a long time ago, just to shut up the mouths of the Wenchen, so that they had no reason to oppose and complain.

Sure enough, after everyone at the bottom exchanged their heads and ears, they all nodded in agreement.

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers agree!"

With the approval of the hundred officials, the six departments immediately fully cooperated, and Zhu Cihong allocated 150,000 taels of silver from Neinu, and two ancestral halls and a large pit were soon established.

As soon as the Heroic Pavilion was built, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were welcomed, and the incense was prosperous.

The ancestral hall is a little embarrassing, where has there been any famous ministers since the emperor succeeded to the throne, even if some ministers claim to be famous ministers, but this ancestral hall can only be entered after death, and they will not curse themselves to die, which leads to the fact that after the famous minister's ancestral hall is built, there is no heroic spirit, and naturally no one goes to worship.

Seeing that tens of thousands of people in the Heroic Pavilion went to worship, the ministers were worried.

Finally, Qian Qianyi took the lead in the table, and the Shrine of Famous Ministers should welcome Wang Yangming, Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Yang Tinghe, Liu Ji and other famous ministers who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong immediately agreed, there are only a few people left and right, after all, you can't really let the built famous minister's ancestral hall be empty for decades without incense. When those celebrities were welcomed into the Ancestral Hall, seeing that the Ancestral Hall finally had incense, the mood of the ministers was finally balanced.

With Wang Yangming, Yang Tinghe and other former generations of famous ministers were welcomed into the famous ministers' shrine, the generals were not to be outdone, and also proposed to welcome Qi Jiguang, Xu Da and other famous generals into the Martyrs' Pavilion, Zhu Cihong also agreed, as for the soldiers who died in the past dynasties, because there is no investigation for a long time, they can only do it.
