In winter, Lin Feng mostly handled government affairs in Jinyang Palace, and various deployments were carried out in an orderly manner.

It took nearly two months, less than five days before the end of the year, with the concerted efforts of the people of Yan and braved the severe cold, the ancestral hall was finally completed.

According to the construction time of the building and weather factors, in less than two months, the magnificent ancestral hall could not be built successfully at all.

However, in view of the particularity of the ancestral hall, not to mention the convenient door of the court, in Jinyang City, several generals in the army are also extremely concerned, and in the military camp, many Yan soldiers also participated in the construction of the ancestral hall.

Many times, most of them are carried out at the same time, such as the carved monuments, the doors and windows in the ancestral hall, and the transportation of various materials, all of which are managed by special personnel.

According to the emperor's order, it is hoped that the ancestral hall will be completed before the end of the year, and the Yan army will be strong, and it is also hoped that the ancestral hall will be completed at the same time, so that the brothers who died in battle will have a place to put the heroic souls as soon as possible.

During this period, Lin Feng ordered the general Liu Xuanyuan to secretly do many things, and when the heroic spirits of the Great Yan Army were placed, his friends had a grand ceremony.

The ancestral hall was built successfully, in order to publicize to Jinyang City and even the people of Yanguo, the Yanguo court attached great importance to the soldiers, and the imperial court held a grand closing ceremony in Jinyang City.

Dragon dance, lion dance, held a banquet for all people outside Jinyang Palace, entertaining veterans in Jinyang City, and veterans who built ancestral halls, in addition, the household department pays money, the Ministry of Rites is responsible, before the New Year, visit the military families in Jinyang City.

In addition to celebrating, the people of Jinyang City announced the ceremony of placing the heroic spirit of the Yan Army in the ancestral hall the next day.

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Feng got up early and began to prepare for the ceremony.

The commemoration of the installation of the heroic soul of the Yan Army is the most solemn and solemn event held by the Yan Kingdom in the past few years.

He spent more than a month preparing for more than a month, and did not want the slightest accident or mistake, otherwise, it would be an insult and desecration to the soldiers of the Yan army.

Before noon, Lin Feng was dressed in dark armor and rode a brown horse, leading a thousand pro-troops to the ancestral hall.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people, veterans, and businessmen from various vassal states gathered outside the ancestral hall, talking to each other and praising the ancestral hall.

"In less than two months, the ancestral hall was built in the bitter cold, which is incredible."

"With the ancestral hall, even if you die on the battlefield in the future, you will have a place to calm your nerves."

"The political significance of this move is beyond imagination, and the Yan army is fighting, I am afraid that it will go forward more and more, and there will be no worries about the future."

……

After Lin Feng arrived, the people immediately boiled, and after saluting, they rushed to him, if it weren't for the protection of the guards, he would really be picked up by the people and thrown into the air.

The people are enthusiastic, Hou Mingfeng, Zhang Yu and other generals don't dare to be sloppy, with Mu Xiaochen's assassination first, Song Guo's calculation later, Lin Feng's safety is definitely the top priority of Yan Guo, and he is busy sending his own guards to protect Lin Feng's safety.

Arrived at the center of the temporary high platform, at this moment, all the officials of the six departments of the court arrived, the official department Shangshu Situ, the military department Shangshu Wen Jishi, the criminal department Shangshu Liu Chengfeng, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Li Mengwei, the household department Shangshu Yu Zheming and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Jian Yuyan, and Chu Fuyan, Ji Qian, Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng and other generals.

The most powerful people in Yan Kingdom, at this moment, most of them gathered in Gaotaizhong, saw Lin Feng appear, and the ministers saluted.

Situ walked up and said, "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, it's time to hold a ceremony."

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, nodded and said, "Okay, let's start." ”

The ceremony is divided into three parts, visiting, worshipping, and the emperor's declaration.

Soon, rumbling drums sounded on both sides of the high platform, Liu Xuanyuan wore armor, walked to the front of the high platform, and said to the people coming from all directions: "The court is well arranged in advance, all the villagers and elders, feel free to visit the ancestral hall, and then, the emperor will personally preside over the worship ceremony."

”

After the ancestral hall was built, Lin Feng did not think about closing the ancestral hall, but chose to open it to the people in an all-round way.

After the announcement, the people suddenly surged, after all, the matter of building the ancestral hall had been rumored in Jinyang City as early as yesterday, and yesterday in the square outside the palace, a banquet was held to celebrate, and everyone knew about it.

However, in Jinyang City, except for the people and soldiers who were responsible for building the ancestral hall, very few people saw the true face of the ancestral hall with their own eyes, and even if they arrived early today, they were not allowed to enter for the time being.

At this moment, the ancestral hall is fully open, and the people are feasting their eyes.

At the same time, Lin Feng was accompanied by the ministers, and Situ served as a guide to explain to him.

According to the design of Lin Feng and Situ, the ancestral hall is divided into a hero's tomb, a monument and a hall of returning souls.

Said to be an ancestral hall, but more like a garden, walk in, what catches your eye is the monument, the monument is more than 40 meters high, facing south, and Jinyang Palace is far away, the heart of the monument is inlaid by the whole piece of bluestone, there are more than 20 meters, it is carved with Lin Feng personally inscribed - the hero of the Yan Kingdom, immortal eight golden characters.

All sides are marble inlays, and the surface is carved with the scene of the Yan army fighting on the battlefield, which is lifelike, and it seems to be immersive.

On the back of the stele, the bluestone is engraved with the words of Wen Jishi, about a few crosses.

"For the rise of the Yan Kingdom, the people who died in the war are immortal!

For the rise of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan army that died in the war is immortal!

Dating back to 600 years ago, since then, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, strive for the strength of the Yan Kingdom and the happiness of the people, the heroes who sacrificed in the previous struggles are immortal! ”

Witnessing the majestic monument, the ministers were shocked by the vigilance, majestic, majestic, like a sharp sword, and like a never-say-die Yan army.

The ministers couldn't help but talk in low voices.

"The content of the inscription is not bad, and Master Wen has considered it in detail!" Zhao Hongru was full of praise and said: "Without the hard work of the martyrs of Yan State and Yan Jun, Yan Country would not have the status it has today." ”

"The vassal states all have stories, the Yan country rose and fell, and rose in adversity, which is closely related to the efforts of the people of Yan State, the army, and the court. Wen Ji Shi said.

"That's right, the king's industry has not yet prospered, the hegemony has not been achieved, we must be ashamed and courageous, move forward in adversity, and assist the emperor to achieve the foundation of eternity." Chu Fuyan said.

"The emperor said that civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, so why worry about the injustice of the world! I, a person with lofty ideals in Yanguo, am proud of my unyielding struggle and hard work for a hundred years, and I am proud of Yanguo people! Li Mengwei interjected.

At this time, Lin Feng and Situ walked up, and he said with a smile: "At present, Yan has Situ, Fu Yan implements a new policy, improves the legal system, has Ji Shi, Yuyan strategy, Xuanyuan, Lao Hou, Zhang Yu and other generals to fight, and the rise of Yan State must be unstoppable."

However, to go to the division that does not forget the future, we should take history as a mirror, the past as a mirror, and people as a mirror, and we must not be a little proud and complacent, otherwise, the good situation that countless Yan troops and people have exchanged their lives for may collapse in an instant. ”

"The emperor is reasonable, in terms of national strength, back then, among the vassal states, there was no place for Yan State at all, but Yan State was able to swim against the current, sweep the northern princes, and trample the powerful princes in the north, it is not unreasonable." Szeto Road.

As one of the ministers of Yan Guopu, he knows what the ministers of Yan State have done and how much effort they have made in the past few years.

Lin Feng smiled, without words, and said, "Go to the millennium and take a look!" ”

Walk through the monument, walk hundreds of steps, there is a huge earthen bag in front of you, there is no fancy and fancy without any embellishment, in addition to being surrounded by big trees, many tombstones stand horizontally in front of the earthen bag, the tombstone is not big, but dense, there are three layers inside, and the outer three layers will wrap the earthen bag.

At this time, Situ came out to tell everyone: "There is a battle and there is death, many Yan army athletes, in the war, carry out harsh tasks, or the war is tragic, often have no bones, but we should not forget them, nor will we forget them."

After Lord Chu searched day and night, and read countless documents, he finally found these heroes who died in battle, built a hero's tomb, and let the heroes of Yan Kingdom sleep forever. ”

Situ's words made the atmosphere suddenly become heavy, the general died in a hundred battles, and the soldiers returned in ten years, but how many people can return safely after experiencing a cruel war?

How many people can maintain sound limbs after returning, few, too few, among the Yan army, even if the blade warriors are armed to the teeth, it is impossible to do without casualties.

And what about light cavalry and light infantry?

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Death is inevitable, I can't safely take them back to Yan Country and witness the grand occasion of Yan Kingdom, but I must treat their families well, Situ, you and Fu Yan are in Jinyang City all the year round, I don't want something similar to Geng Ergou to happen, no matter in Jinyang City, or other places in Yan Kingdom, who dares to insult the retired Yan army, severely fine, or even behead." ”

"Yes!" Situ and Chu Fuyan said.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the people present knew very well how many plans Lin Feng had made after the Geng Ergou incident, and there were almost seven or eight of them, all of which were to protect the interests of the Yan Army and the retired Yan Army, and even did not hesitate to revise the Criminal Law.

Now, spending a huge amount of money to build an ancestral hall and sponsor the families of the Yan army who were killed and injured is enough to show the emperor's determination.

Situ and the others were silent for a long time, all of them were reflecting, especially Hou Mingfeng, Zhang Yu and other generals, their hearts were even heavier, there were robes in the hero's tomb that they used to get along with, and there were brothers who fought side by side.

It's a pity that the loess buried the bones and died in another country, and the bones are gone.

And they can have today's status, mostly because of the brave battles of the soldiers under their command, throwing their heads, spilling blood, and exchanging their lives.

The atmosphere of heaviness and pain made the ministers speechless, but Lin Feng said: "You should turn your grief into strength, if you have anger in your heart, in the future, all of it will be vented on the enemy." Since war cannot prevent death, we should be kind to their families and avenge them.

In addition, no matter how much wealth, how much territory, and how much territory the vassal states have, the vassal states that do not respect the military will have no future, and if the Yan State wants to be strong, it must not be in the same stream as the vassal states. ”
