A six-horse-drawn four-wheeled carriage, loaded with the coffins of martyrs covered with military flags, slowly walked on the flat road, followed by many people, who seemed to have sacrificed their families and friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the coffin passed by, all the carriages and pedestrians traveling in the opposite direction stopped and stopped in place.

These are residents who have been in the northern part of Korea for a long time, and they know exactly what this car is for.

They stopped silently, saluted, paid tribute to the martyr who died in battle, expressed their condolences to his family, and waited until the coffin was far away before returning to the road.

Zhao Qingyu rode a war horse and walked at the back of the carriage that picked up the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, silently counting the number of coffins passing by.

Just on this road, there were 32 coffins passing by, and the comrades-in-arms were buried, but he couldn't go to send them off because he had to quietly pack up a bunch of miscellaneous pieces, and Zhao Qingyu's mood was very depressed.

His gaze was coldly at the carriage moving in front of him.

There, the windows were open, but the miscellaneous people sitting inside were indifferent to the passing hearse, and were still talking there.

One of them stuck his head out of the window and asked the soldier in front of him impatiently, "How long will it take to arrive?" It's almost noon, hurry up, Lord Ben still has official business to deal with. ”

"Please stay calm, we're almost there."

"Hmph, it's really troublesome, I've seen a lot of hearses in the past, isn't it not like we can have a funeral? We have to go. ”

"That is, moreover, every dead person must have a carriage drawn by six horses, how much money does it cost, how can it be so extravagant and wasteful, I must write to persuade the prince."

"What Master Li said is extremely true, since ancient times, it has been a dead admonition of civil ministers, trying to ensure the stability of the country, and we and other officials should play a role in persuading the Lord, when I go to the book, count me as one."

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, listen to my words, wasting money is secondary, what makes the official sad is that the national prince does not respect the law of etiquette, according to the etiquette system, the son of heaven drives six, the princes four, the doctor drives three, the scholar two, and the shu one. However, Guogong actually used the specifications of six cars to give funerals to ordinary people, which is simply a mess of the common etiquette law, colleagues, I will see Guogong later, and we will definitely ask for an explanation for this. ”

"Yes, etiquette comes first, and we will definitely ask for an explanation for this matter."

"It's really too unusual, first asked us to wait for the scholars to wear filial piety to that Qiu Ba, and now it's so **, it's just a mediocre lord, we must unite and suppress a crooked atmosphere."

Suddenly, someone recited the poem: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and mixed manifolds." The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. ”

As soon as two sentences of this popular poem came out, it attracted the echo of several people, and they followed and recited, "Yu people said Haoran, Peihu Cangying." The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court. When the poor festival is seen, one by one. ”

When it came to the convincing sages below, everyone in the car echoed it, "In Qi Taishi Jian, in Jin Dong Hubi." In Qin Zhang Liangshi, in the Han Su Wu Festival. For General Yan's head, for Ji's blood. For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue. Or for the Liaodong hat, clear the ice and snow. Or for the teacher's table, the ghosts and gods weep strongly. Or to cross the river, generously swallow the hu. Or for the fight of the thief, the reverse vertical head is broken. ”

And when they arrived here, everyone's voices suddenly became high-pitched, "It is majestic, awe-inspiring, and eternal." When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death are sufficient. The earth is based on it, and the heavenly pillar is respected. The three outlines are really life, and morality is the root. It is not effective to give Yang Jiu, and it is really ineffective. Chu prisoners were crowned, and the car was sent to the poor north. The woks are as sweet as gluttony, and they can't get it. The ghost fire in the underworld is hot, and the spring courtyard is dark. Cow Ji has the same soap, and chickens perch on phoenix food. Once covered with fog and dew, it was divided into barren ditches. No matter how cold and hot it is, Bai Wei is easy to find itself. Sigh and frustrate, for my peace and happiness. How can he be skillful, yin and yang cannot be thieves. Looking up at the clouds. I am sad, and the sky is very strong. The philosopher's day is far away, and the punishment is in the past. The wind eaves show books and read, and the ancient road shines in color. ”

Zhao Qingyu was not far away, and he could fully hear the sounds of these conversations and reciting psalms.

Do these bastards think they are Mr. Wenshan? So, what do they think of themselves as soldiers and generals? The murderous Meng Yuan?

However, in terms of the things they did, they are also worthy of being compared with Wen Cheng, how can this touching poem taste of irony when it comes out of the mouths of these scumbags.

Zhao Qingyu's heart was full of anger, his temper was already very good, but in the past two days, he had been angered by these bastards many times in a row.

However, in the end, Zhao Qingyu still tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Wait, wait, don't do it here, everything must be done according to the plan, and you must not cause trouble to the general."

At this time, Chen Xin was still sitting in the mint, quietly waiting for everything to settle.

In fact, this time, the so-called invitation to all the personnel of the civil affairs department to attend the funeral was just a pretense.

Chen Xin is not a fool, how could he arrange the funerals of thousands of martyrs at once.

The Xuan Army, together with all the combat forces of the field troops, the armed police force, the militia force, and the newly formed army, is only about 40,000 people.

Nearly 4,000 people were killed in this war, almost one-tenth of the total number of Xuan troops.

With so many funerals gathered together, once they are not handled properly, what a huge shock it will have to the morale of the army and the morale of the people.

Only those old bureaucrats who don't care about ordinary soldiers at all will believe in the nonsense of unified burial and collective public sacrifice.

There will always be a public memorial service, but it is an event that can only be carried out after all the scattered funerals have been completed.

So, why did Chen Xin gather all the ministers in the name of the "Martyrs' Funeral Committee"?

That's because these ministers are no longer reliable, and Chen Xin needs a big purge.

After having the prisoner's confession as a breakthrough, the Confidential Department, the Military Intelligence Department, and the tigers lurking in various civil affairs departments quickly gathered all kinds of evidence and materials.

Basically, a few people who are pessimistic about the future of the Xuan Army are locked.

These people include those who have already taken refuge in Houjin, or are preparing to take refuge in Houjin.

At the same time, news also came from the guerrilla detachment that someone contacted them and wanted to surrender.

Plus those old-fashioned factions who took the Ming Dynasty as an example and wanted to carry out the reform of Wenchen in power.

The civil affairs department of the Xuan Army, except for a very small number of personnel, basically fell completely.

When he first got the news of the rebels, when his subordinates proposed a purge, Chen Xin was still entangled, trying to use the consequences of the Soviet purge in later generations to convince himself not to do such a thing.

However, when more and more information was placed in front of him, Chen Xin's already small political wisdom finally encountered a bottleneck, and he couldn't play it anymore.

So, at this time, what can Chen Xin do? You can't really let people put themselves in the air.

So, Chen Xin only thought of one way, and that was to flip the table.
