By the time the whole military parade was over and Chongzhen led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Martyrs' Shrine, it was almost noon.

Outside the archway of the Martyrs' Shrine, there is a young woman with a letter of flowers, dressed in a white filial piety costume, holding a child, and standing there helplessly. When he saw Chongzhen coming, he hurriedly knelt down from a distance and shouted long live.

After Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to help the young woman up, he said: "Wang Zhao, Wang Aiqing's death, the responsibility lies with me." If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to arrest Fan Wencheng, a traitor, as soon as possible, Wang Aiqing would not have died in Liaodong. ”

Chongzhen, who was gloomy in his heart, then said to Wang Zhao: "It's just that the deceased is gone, you still need to live well, and raise the blood and blood left by Wang Aiqing to grow up." ”

Wang Zhao is Wang Xuanl's wife, hearing Chongzhen mention the dead Wang Xuanlone, he was sad for a while, and tears fell down, but he couldn't help crying, only nodded vigorously. The baby, who was still less than a year old in his arms, curiously stretched out his little hand to wipe Wang Zhao's tears.

Seeing this, Chongzhen didn't feel good about the boss in his heart, so he signaled Wang Chengen to announce the decree.

Seeing Chongzhen's signal, Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed, and then took the holy decree handed over by the little eunuch behind him, and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and says:

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Xuanlone, loyal to the country, brave to do things. Today, I sacrificed my life for the country, and it was advisable to praise it. Today, Wang Xuanlin is posthumously awarded as Fengtian Fuyun to promote sincerity and righteousness, and he is specially entered into the Marquis of Dingbei, and he eats a thousand stones, and his son Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and he is licensed to attack the third generation.

The rest of the soldiers and others, judging their merits, are all being rewarded.

Yu play! The position of the king is only in Fengtian, and the rewards and punishments should be clear. These words of mine are heard by heaven and earth, and are known to the people. The first day of the first month of the first year of Chongzhen. ”

Then, after reading out the will to canonize Wang Zhao as the wife of the Sanpin Commandment, Wang Chengen said: "Wang Zhao, take the decree." ”

Only then did Wang Zhao react, and he had the intention to refuse, and no longer let his son go to the army again, but he was intimidated by the strict authority of the emperor, and he was speechless for a while, and finally accepted the order to thank him and retreated to the side.

Only then did Chongzhen take the civil and military officials and continue to walk towards the Martyrs' Shrine.

On the first archway, in the middle is the three words of Chongzhen's handwritten martyr's shrine, and there is an indescribable tragic atmosphere in the big characters like iron and silver hooks.

On the left and right, it is a couplet. On the left is written: The shroud of a hundred battles is returned, it is advisable to hide the ape and crane hidden building, and the unicorn high mound;

On the right is written: Qianqiu Lingshuang is here, there is Chang Hong's blue blood, and the pavilion is well-dressed.

Continue forward, and to the second archway, just like the first archway in front of the general, but the couplet on the top is different, the left side is written: blue blood stained yellow sand, take righteousness into benevolence, should be immortal;

The lower link on the right is: Elite Huihe Stone, greedy for life and afraid of death, don't come here.

When it came to the third archway, the left and right were no longer couplets, but became two sentences.

On the left: Your names are unknown;

On the right is: Your deeds live forever.

In the middle of the memorial arch, it is no longer like the first two arches, but just like the couplets of this archway, it is also a big vernacular: the heroic spirit is forever.

When many civil officials saw it, they only felt disgusted - how could so many great Confucians write two sentences better than this, right?

But many generals don't think so. The Ming Dynasty itself is a separate place for civil and military affairs, and military generals usually don't read as much as civil officials, most of them just know a few words.

Now this archway is engraved on the ground, although it is a big vernacular, but it is simple and easy to understand, but it is just right for the taste of these big old people.

Until entering the main hall of the Martyrs' Shrine, there is a statue of Yue Wumu in the middle, and there is a huge earth incense burner standing in front of the statue. After Chongzhen lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, the civil and military officials went up to the incense in turn.

Green smoke rose from the ground, enveloping the entire hall, making it more and more sacred and solemn. Chongzhen also began to carefully look at the main hall of the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine.

Behind the statue of Yue Wumu, there is a tall sign, which is engraved with the handwritten text of Emperor Chongzhen: Since the Yanhuang Dynasty, all the heroes who sacrificed their lives for China are immortal!

Further back, there are tablets one after another, layer upon layer, even if you can't count them. Some of them are engraved with names, and more of them are not even names, only the words of so-and-so Wei and so-and-so.

On the surrounding walls, there are many murals, including the story of Yun Chang's defeat of Maicheng, Yang Zaixing's bloody battle against Xiaoshang River, and the story of twelve gold medals returning to Yue's enclave.

In the back, there is a battlefield scene where generals such as Tong Zhongqi and Jiannu Nurha died in the battlefield.

In the end, it was Wang Xuanxi sitting on the horse, facing Jiannu and others to launch a decisive charge.

Chongzhen walked away from Maicheng from the beginning of Guan Yunchang, and looked at the past one by one, until the portrait of Wang Xuan's lonely land at the end.

Chongzhen couldn't help but reach out and touch the portrait, thinking that it was worth it to use these brocade guards to catch Fan Wencheng's dog traitor?

Thinking about Wang Xuanlian's appearance when he knelt in front of him and swore that he would capture Fan Wencheng alive, Chongzhendi's eyes couldn't help but get wet.

Touching the wall painting, Chongzhen, who was agitated in his heart, suddenly shouted: "Heroic Spirit! Return! Heroic Spirit! Return! ”

After shouting, the tears in his eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears of the bean earth rolled down one by one.

The civil officials behind him haven't reacted yet, but they just feel that Chongzhen's play is too much.

However, the generals, such as Man Gui, Ma Xianglin and others, heard the heartache of the dead soldiers from the roar of returning, and empathized with them, and the generals also had red eyes and choked up speechlessly.

It wasn't until Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to remind him that Chongzhen wiped his tears and continued to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the martyrs.

After the tedious memorial ceremony was completed, Chongzhen led the civil and military officials out of the martyr's shrine.

At this time, the open space between the Martyrs' Shrine and the archway was already crowded with people, and only the place left for Chongzhen and the hundred officials to walk was isolated by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division with a human wall.

As soon as the crowd saw Chongzhen coming out of the Martyrs' Shrine, they all knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Chongzhen went to say: "It's all flat."

This Martyrs' Shrine was originally a place to worship the heroic spirits. Since then, all those who have sacrificed their lives for the country, regardless of civil and military affairs, and regardless of official position, have entered the martyrs' shrine to worship, so that the heroic souls can enjoy blood and food.

Neither I nor our children and grandchildren should forget who has given us a stable life.

Please everyone remember that in this world, there are killings every day, and it is these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country to keep the killing out of the country with their flesh and blood! ”
