The drizzle was still falling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Qingzhou City is like a silent movie screen, which makes people feel suffocated.

It's a kind of anger that has accumulated in the bottom of my heart.

From the eyes of the people, Xiao Ming saw this kind of anger, which they could only suppress in their hearts before.

Three years ago, they suffered from the barbarian invasion and the cruel exploitation of them by the Hao clan who colluded with foreign enemies, and these people have been suffering in silence, and now this anger has finally erupted and turned into hatred for the barbarians, hatred for the Hao clan.

It is precisely because of this that the people who have been freed from the shackles on their bodies will firmly support him in fighting the Hao clan and fighting against the barbarians.

And he also understands that if he wants to survive in this world, he can only rely on the people in the fiefdom.

For him, only the royal power based on the recognition of the people is the most stable royal power, otherwise it will only be played by these wealthy families between applause.

After all, the wealthy families of the Great Yu Kingdom have a long heritage, and compared to him, these people are all good at playing with power, and he lacks this kind of incident, so he has no advantage at all.

However, Xiao Ming is not a stupid person, it is a fool's act to compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths, his advantage is only in the scientific and technological knowledge of this era.

This is also the advantage that he plans to actively expand in the future.

In the face of absolute power, all intrigues and tricks are paper tigers.

The barrel of the gun will tell his enemies that the bullet is much harder than the tongue.

Of course, Xiao Ming proposed the funeral of the fallen soldiers, and he also proposed the matter of him and Niu Ben raising the officials.

For him, the funeral of a soldier is a sign of respect for the fallen soldiers and a necessity to shape the soul of the army.

The Horse Leather Shroud is tragic, but it is too desolate, and this can comfort their hearts.

In one morning, the remains of thousands of soldiers were buried in the ground, and the Qingzhou army also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Cangzhou.

If the barbarian didn't choose to retreat at that time, he couldn't be sure if this Cangzhou City would be able to hold it.

This battle to defend the city was a gamble for him, and it was also a gamble for the people of the fiefdom.

But luckily, they won in the end.

This battle gave them time to breathe, and the enemy would pay an even heavier price when attacking Cangzhou in the future.

"Back to camp!"

At the end of the funeral, Niu Ben shouted, and the Qingzhou army turned around neatly and slowly left the cemetery.

Lu Fei's eyes were slightly red, he didn't cry in Cangzhou City, he didn't cry when he returned to Qingzhou, and he cried at today's funeral.

He looked at Xiao Ming and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the brothers on Huangquan Road have won this honor, and they can walk safely." ”

"This is the treatment they deserve, and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the future should be remembered." Xiao Ming said.

This funeral not only surprised Pang Yukun, but also surprised Niu Ben and others.

Because there has been no funeral for ordinary soldiers since ancient times, and Xiao Ming, who is the king of Qi, also carried the coffin himself, if this is spread, it will inevitably cause countless criticisms.

But for the people, for the soldiers, their hearts warmed, and this was enough for Xiao Ming.

Luo Xin's eyes were deep, Xiao Ming had given him too many surprises in the past few months.

And this time, it was an accident within an accident, and he had to admit that in the eyes of the nobles, the common people were just a cheap life, and the same was true of the lives of the soldiers.

In a war, the generals are always scrambling to receive credit, and the life and death of the soldiers have a few relationships, and on the battlefield outside the fortress, there are still many bones of unknown soldiers.

And Xiao Ming not only transported back the bodies of all the dead soldiers, but also buried them collectively, which was an honor for all the soldiers.

Looking back at the monument standing in the middle of the mausoleum, the four of them walked out of the cemetery.

Niu Ben said at this time: "Your Highness, the matter of this Cangzhou victory should also be spread in Chang'an now, and then Your Majesty will definitely pass on His Highness to Chang'an to receive the reward." ”

"I think Your Highness should not go for it, this time His Highness has made outstanding achievements, and other princes must be jealous in their hearts, if it is not good for His Highness at this time, we will also be beyond the reach of the whip." Lu Fei shook his head.

Luo Xin said: "It's just that if the holy decree arrives, I can't help but let His Highness not go, otherwise the emperor will be angry, and other princes and ministers will have more reasons to attack His Highness, and even say that His Highness has bad intentions. ”

Niu Ben nodded, Luo Xin finally understood the things in the officialdom better than Lu Fei, he said: "Luo Xin's words are good, His Royal Highness has to go at this time, I will stay in Qingzhou, and the two of you and Your Highness will go to Beijing to receive the reward." ”

"How about the two of us, the old general is the first credit this time." Lu Fei said.

Niu Ben showed a wry smile, which was seen by Xiao Ming, and he said: "Old general, I can't put off this trip to Chang'an, and the letter from my mother also asks me to go back, this time, I will inevitably plead with my father for the old general to remove the charges on the old general." ”

"No need." Niu Ben said: "This is actually good, it is easy and comfortable in Qingzhou, if there is no such charge, those ministers will ask the emperor to let me return to the forbidden army, and it will be difficult to do it at that time." ”

Xiao Ming thought about it, it seemed that this was also the truth, no matter what Niu Ben said, he was more familiar with the officialdom of this Great Chongqing Country than himself, and he couldn't help but nodded.

Niu Ben continued: "Your Highness, this time I went to Chang'an, for the sake of safety, this Qingzhou Army 1,000 cavalry also asked His Highness to take all of them, not afraid of just in case, afraid of 10,000." ”

In fact, Xiao Ming didn't want to go back to Chang'an, it was a smoky place for him, and the interweaving of power was too complicated.

And it seems that he doesn't have many people to be nostalgic for.

However, Concubine Zhen told him in the letter that before the Battle of Cangzhou, Xiao Wenxuan promised that if he held Cangzhou City, he would propose to the Fei family and marry Fiji's youngest daughter Fei Yue'er to him.

In his previous life, Xiao Ming had always been single, and no one had ever given him a marriage.

Now Concubine Zhen has found him a daughter-in-law, which makes him feel worried, after all, he has never seen this Fei Yue'er.

Generally speaking, the marriage of this Great Yu Kingdom will not meet before entering the cave house.

If he marries a dominatrix and comes back, he will be miserable for the rest of his life.

As for Fei Yue'er's family, he didn't have any special ideas, but he also knew that this was Concubine Zhen's idea of arranging the daughter of the Fei family for him.

It's just that Xiao Ming's idea has always been to work hard and be self-reliant, and relying on others will eventually fall on his heels.

Therefore, he didn't care about the family background of the Fei family.

Sighing, Xiao Ming was a little helpless, after all, he lived in this era, some things could be changed, but some things had to be followed by the locals.

This marriage event, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker are difficult to change, even in contemporary times, there are many people who are forced by their parents to go on a blind date.
