As the saying goes, "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat", although Guy is full of anger and has an unyielding will, he also has to bow to the butcher knife in Zhao Ziliang's hand, if he does not give in, all the Jews in the city will have to be buried with him, he can't die, he can only live in humiliation, life is so helpless.

With the entire Middle East conquered, Syria, Canaan, the Sinai Peninsula, the Great Food Peninsula, and all the regions of the Lianghe River basin were brought under the influence of the Western Qin, and the establishment of administrative institutions in these areas to govern was already a top priority for Zhao Ziliang.

On April 20, when Zhao Ziliang was discussing with the officials and generals of the army at the Herodian Antipas Palace about the establishment of administrative and garrison institutions in the above areas, Zhao Beida, the commander of the Longwei Army, who was on duty outside the palace gate, strode in and bowed down with his fists and said: "King Qiqi, Li Dashuai's family will ask to see him outside the palace gate, saying that there is something important to report to the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stopped and raised his hand and beckoned: "Let him in!" ”

"No!"

After a while, a middle-aged armor-clad general in his thirties walked in and bowed down to Zhao Ziliang, crying: "King, my handsome family passed away yesterday afternoon!" ”

Everyone in the hall stood up involuntarily, whether it was a good relationship with Li Siye, or a general relationship, or a suspicion, they all showed sadness at this time, even if they had hatred, they couldn't hate it at this time, as the so-called death of a person is like a lamp going out, no matter how big the hatred is at this time, it will disappear at this time.

Another old friend is gone, Zhao Zi's conscience said in his heart that he is not sad and lonely, he was a little depressed, and asked: "A few days ago, this king heard that Li Qing's condition has improved in Mayin Hot Springs, why is he so ······?" ”

The family will cry silently, intermittently said Li Siye's death, it turned out that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Li Siye itself is not heat-resistant, at this time the hot spring not only does not work, but also has the opposite effect, just in the last ten days, the condition has become more and more serious, yesterday afternoon Li Siye was even more forced to go horseback riding, who knew that accidentally fell off the horse, his son Li Zuoguo and the generals and soldiers were shocked, immediately carried him to the room and sent someone to call the military doctor to diagnose and treat, but this time Li Siye fell and caused the wounds on his body to burst, There was a lot of blood, and his condition was already very serious, and the military doctor didn't remember to come yet, and the person couldn't do it.

Zhao Ziliang's expression was sad and gloomy, and he said to the officials and generals: "Li Siye is dead, and the lonely king is like a broken arm!" The matter of setting up administrative organs and garrison institutions in the Middle East region will be postponed for the time being, and the loss of Li Qing will be dealt with first! Li Muchen, you hurry to Amman, discuss the funeral with Li Qing's son Li Zuoguo, and ask him what he thinks, whether to bury him on the spot or transport it back to Xinjing for burial, everything is based on the thoughts of the family! The weather is getting older and hotter, and the body can't be stored for long, and the funeral can't be delayed! ”

Li Muchen stood up and said: "King, according to the rules of my Western Qin, the soldiers and the dead should be cremated on the spot, and then the ashes should be loaded into the altar and then transported back to China, the ashes of ordinary officers and soldiers are transported back to their hometowns and enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine, and the ashes of the generals and famous generals are enshrined in the Xinjing Martyrs' Shrine. ”

When the generals and officials heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and they all whispered to each other and discussed, this matter is really difficult to adjudicate, Li Siye is the chief general of the army all the way in this war, he has a mission, and he completed the task very well, but he did not die in battle, nor did he die of illness, but died of an accident. There are not many places to worship in the Martyrs' Shrine, not every general can enter the Martyrs' Shrine, only after the death of the war can enter, retired or for other reasons have no military position in the body can not enter after death, retired or in-service generals die of illness or accident have a special place to go.

As a general, it is the supreme honor to be able to rank in the Martyrs' Shrine after death, and it is also an honor for his descendants.

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a long time and said: "Pass the decree, find a painter to paint a portrait of Li Qing, and let him enter the Qunying Pavilion!" ”

Qunying Pavilion, also called Mingchen Pavilion, similar to the Lingyan Pavilion set up by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Li Tang Dynasty, can enter after death are all contemporary famous ministers and good generals, some generals in the Western Qin army did not die on the battlefield, but died of illness or old age, their merits play an immeasurable role in the strength and development of the Western Qin, such a person can enter the Qunying Pavilion after death, and the people who can enter the Qunying Pavilion can enter the Qunying Pavilion after death, regardless of the generals and civil ministers, only on merit, so after the death into the Qunying Pavilion not only Wenchen but also military generals, Its glory is even greater.

Although the generals and officials were stunned for a moment when they heard this, they still took it for granted, with Li Siye's merits, he was indeed qualified to enter the Qunying Pavilion.

Li Muchen agreed: "Yes, king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers again: "This king will leave for Amman in the near future, and the military and political affairs will be put aside first, and after Li Qing's funeral is completed, this king will deal with it!" During the absence of this king, the Zhuqing family must fulfill their duties and not be lazy! ”

All the officials and generals clasped their fists and agreed: "Yes, king!" ”

Three days later, Zhao Ziliang rushed to Amman with 500 cavalry of the Dragon Guard, and Li Muchen had already arrived with some people a day earlier, and was dealing with Li Zuoguo, the son of Li Siye.

Li Muchen and Li Zuoguo took some generals and soldiers to greet Zhao Ziliang's arrival outside Amman City, Zhao Ziliang saw them go out of the city to greet them, and blamed: "Why did you all come out?" Who takes care of the funeral hall? ”

Li Zuoguo hurriedly said: "The king is here, how can the ministers be rude?" The mourning hall is being taken care of by the generals and soldiers! ”

Zhao Ziliang was quite unhappy and reprimanded: "Nonsense, you, who are sons, are not guarding the mourning hall, leaving a group of generals and soldiers, what kind of system will you become?" ”

Li Muchen played a round game: "The king, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both since ancient times, loyalty is in the front, Li Shuai's father and son are loyal to the king······"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Lead the way!" ”

Li Siye's death left Amman City without a general to guard, and the generals of the Western Qin Army began martial law last night, and now there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on the street, and the security is very tight, and pedestrians have to be careful when walking.

The group quickly rode to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Muchen and Li Zuoguo led the way in front, and Zhao Ziliang quickly walked to the mourning hall, but did not see Li Siye's body. Li Muchen explained: "Li Shuai went in a hurry, the army did not prepare a coffin, Weichen originally wanted to ask the craftsmen in the army to build a mouthful, but Zuo Guoxian's nephew said that the left and right were to be cremated, and the coffin was also to be burned, so there was no need to do more, Li Shuai's body was in the next room." ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "In this case, let's take Li Qing out and put it in the mourning hall, the generals in the army may have to come to pay tribute one after another in the past few days, some have been promoted by Li Qing, some have fought side by side together, and some have had conflicts, no matter what, this is the last time we will meet, and when people come, we can't help but see the last one."

Li Zuoguo said: "What the king said is very true, and the ministers will bring the ancestor out!" ”

After some of the soldiers got the order, they carried Li Siye's body out of the next wing room and put it on the long table in front of the mourning hall, Zhao Ziliang walked over and stood next to the body for a long time and mourned, and beckoned to Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "King? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Go and get a national flag!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Bei walked over with a boxy golden national flag in both hands, Zhao Ziliang picked up the national flag and shook it in the air, covering it on Li Siye's body.

Wrapped in the national flag, since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty, no one has ever enjoyed such treatment, Li Zuoguo knelt down with a thud, crying silently, and the other generals and soldiers all knelt down one after another.

Zhao Ziliang did not stay here for long, and returned to Jerusalem in the afternoon of the same day, and it was very rare for him to be able to see off his courtiers as a king, and few kings in the past and present could do this, which was not in line with etiquette.

In the next few days, the generals and officials in the army all asked Zhao Ziliang for leave one after another, and came to Amman City to pay respects in front of Li Siyeling, but Zhao Ziliang did not refuse.

Li Siye is one of the generals of Western Qin, Zhao Ziliang is very sad about his death, and he is really uncomfortable when he sees the old people who followed him die one by one. After returning to Jerusalem from Amman City, he was in no mood for several days to deal with military and political affairs.

On April 25, Li Siye's body was cremated, and his ashes were brought back to Xinjing by his son Li Zuoguo for burial.

On 27 April, Zhao Ziliang convened the generals at the Herodian Antioch Palace in Jerusalem to discuss the establishment of administrative and military garrisons in various parts of the Middle East to govern and garrison the localities.

After listening to the advice of the officials and generals, Zhao Ziliang decided to set up a governor of Dashi on the Dashi Peninsula to oversee the military and political affairs of Dashi, and the governor's palace was located in Medina; The establishment of a Syrian governor in Syria to oversee military and political affairs, with the governor's office in Damascus; and appointed a satrap in the land of Canaan to administer military and political affairs, and the satrapy was located in Jerusalem; He also established a Governor-General in the Sinai Peninsula to oversee military and political affairs, and the Governor's Office was located in Arish.

Finally, Zhao Ziliang asked: "After Li Siye's death, the royal court wants to determine the nickname for him, what nickname does Zhu Qing think should be given to him to be pertinent?" ”

It is not easy to set a name for someone, and it must be set in accordance with the actual situation, not arbitrarily, and in line with the person's usual style, ethics and life deeds.

The officials and generals didn't dare to stand up and talk nonsense, only Li Muchen stood up and said: "The king, the minister thinks that with Li Shuai's exploits during his lifetime, he can be named 'loyal and brave'!" ”

Although the name of loyalty and courage is not particularly high, but one of the loyal words is equivalent to being registered in front of the king, this is a great loyal minister, can get the king's trust is stronger than anything else, plus he is indeed extraordinary, in addition to Zhao Ziliang, the Western Qin army in the martial arts is really stronger than him can not be found, its courage is also peerless, charging combat is often the first, rushing to kill in front, the enemy sees him cold, known as the supernatural general.

Zhao Ziliang nodded, this nickname is really pertinent, he said: "Okay, just set the nickname as Zhongyong, and send a letter to Xinjing on the same day to convey the will of the lonely king!" ”

"Yes!"
