A nation needs heroes, a nation without heroes is not a complete nation, a nation that does not know how to cherish heroes is a pathetic nation, if this nation does not even know how to be grateful and remember its own heroes, then it is destined to sink permanently, and even be eliminated in the forest of national competition.

In the course of a long history, there have been quite a few heroes in the Chinese nation. Because it is a national form of hero, then of course it has a strong narrow-minded nature, usually in foreign expansion and even in defense against foreign invasions.

Generally speaking, heroes are those who have made contributions to the nation, limited but included contributors to foreign wars, cultural contributors, ideological contributors, and scientific and technological progress...... And so on and so forth.

Every nation has its own heroes, and the nation that cherishes its heroes will show an unprecedented centripetal force in that process, and exert unimaginable unity in the special historical process. However, because of the system and some strange reasons, Huaxia does not cherish their national heroes in many cases, such as Li Mu, the national hero of Zhao State, who died under the suspicion of the king, such as Bai Qi, the national hero of Qin State, who was forced to commit suicide by the king, such as Yue Fei, who also died under the suspicion of the king, and Ran Min, who shouted "Kill Hu Order" in such a dark period, became a sinner who hindered the inevitable trend of national integration.

That's right, heroes are born because someone needs to turn the tide, but heroes often die under the jealousy and suspicion of rulers, and that is because rulers are afraid that heroes will accumulate enough prestige to subvert their own rule. In addition, some heroes can be wiped out because of necessity, this ...... Don't talk about it.

When heroes can be persecuted and die at will, because they can be erased or even slandered because of need, can they still hope that there will be heroes who can stand up when they need to?

When no one dares to be that hero, it will only form the indifference of more and more people, choosing to watch or even expect a change of dynasty when the country needs it again, and no one dares to help grandma and grandfather when they fall......

Ideas need time to develop, to build beauty in cruelty, and to find hope in decadence. The construction of ideas is not a matter of one generation or two generations.

"The first phase of the project has already started, and the first batch of works can be completed as soon as next spring. At that time, the ashes of the fallen could be moved in, and the scale of the ceremony needed was still up to the king. ”

"Are there any examples you can learn from in the past?"

“…… This? ”

There has never been an official burial ceremony before. There are no precedents to draw on.

In any previous era, there was almost no difference in the treatment of the fallen soldiers of the two armies after the battle, except for a very small number of general-level dead who could have a grave, the soldiers basically dug pits and buried them collectively, if there was really any formality, it was just to distinguish between camps. Do not let the fallen of different camps be buried in the same pit.

Of course, when the two camps encounter great hatred, the soldiers of the victorious side will be buried, and the soldiers of the losing side will be brutalized in the wilderness, but relatively speaking, such things rarely happen, after all, no one can bear the consequences of the plague if the corpse is not buried.

"No examples to draw from?" Lu Zhe seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Since the rise of Lu Zhe to the present, although he has been the victorious side in repeated battles, the death of soldiers is inevitable. According to the statistics on the register, the number of soldiers lost in the process of Lü Zhe's rise reached 130,000, and the number of dead who could recover the bodies of the 130,000 losses was 74,000 and 1. The number of crippled soldiers is 32,400, and the rest are counted in the missing list.

Some of the 74,000 and 1st fallen soldiers have been buried on the spot, and most of them have been cremated and their ashes have been put into clay pots, and the urns have been kept by the military, and the location of the display is in several temporary spirit bone towers outside Nanlingcheng. The reason for such a thing is not complicated, because most of the fallen soldiers could not find their families, or the families of the fallen soldiers agreed with the military to retreat, in fact, Lu Zhe had long wanted to build a common place for the fallen soldiers - the Martyrs' Garden.

The Martyrs' Garden in Yiling will cover an area of more than 40 square miles, which shows how much attention is paid to this cemetery, but it is rare to see a single cemetery. It adopts the shrine model that exists now.

What is Shrine Mode? The shrine is placed on top of the urn and arranged in a stepped shape, and then a "wall of deeds" is built outside the shrine to carve the lives and deaths of the fallen soldiers. Then the soldiers who died in a battle will also be grouped together in a separate shrine. To put it bluntly, a certain shrine in the Wa Kingdom is a way of worship in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is different in some details.

"Dead generals are not placed in addition?" Sima Xin asked in particular.

Lu Zhe nodded, in terms of the behavior of the government, there should be no special class treatment in this kind of matter, and the soldiers fought together during their lifetimes. After death, they were buried together and worshiped at the same shrine, which was somewhat of a comfort to ordinary soldiers and their families. If the families of the generals want other treatment, then they can do it privately on private land, and no one will interfere with anything.

By the way, at present, there is no system in the Chinese god system, and it can even be said that there is no clear manifestation, and the folk belief in the people is still stuck on the totem and ancestors, so it is also a primitive society worship model. For example, Sanqing Daozun has not yet appeared, so there is no so-called Taoism, but some concepts of Taoism already exist. In addition, Buddhism has not been introduced to the territory of China, and the concept of Buddha and Buddha naturally does not exist. At present, there is a kind of witchcraft system that is widely prevalent among the people, that is, the belief that all things can be gods, and the dance is still in the primitive society to exorcise evil spirits or something, and that kind of dance is called the Wu dance.

The most important point, I don't know what is a historical necessity, the nobles in the land of China have the storage of family temples, and there are also family temples in the western land. On the Chinese side, the family temple is a sacred place to worship ancestors, but the family temple in the West is dedicated to the family god.

Because of the existence of the family temple, some class clergy have actually appeared. The Huaxia model is for certain blood relatives in the clan to hold that position, that is, a role similar to that of an elder. In the Western model, the clergy are public officials, that is, registered servants attached to a certain temple or something.

In Lü Zhe's earlier understanding, the shaman was a kind of psychic figure in Miao Jiang, usually as a kind of being with a strong mystical color. As he learned more about the present day, he also knew that the current wizards were fundamentally different from the future generations, at least not some old women who specialized in raising insects.

Many of the professions held by the current shamans can be found in Taoism, such as the undertaker (called 'Shigong' in southern Fujian, and the name is different in each place). In fact, it is a kind of clergy similar to a celestial master. In addition, there are occupations for blessings, occupations for disaster relief, and occupations for memorial services...... Many, many are stored zài.

The planning of the Martyrs' Garden Shrine is not only the planning of the buildings, but also the training of a group of dedicated service personnel. And those personnel are actually not difficult to find at present, you can find some philosophers from the Huang Lao school, and some etiquette scholars from Confucianism. You can also find people who are involved in religion from the Yin-Yang School.

Lu Zhe thought about "creating a religion" by himself, but it didn't seem to be so simple. The emergence of a religion requires a most basic system, and to put it bluntly, it is the mythological background on which the religion can stand. And then what else is needed? That's right, it is about the values and objects of belief in this religion, and about whether it is a polytheistic system or a single supreme god system. And the obvious thing. Lu Zhe, who needs to govern the country and focus on the outward expansion of the army, does not have so much energy, after all, the amount of work to invent a religion is definitely not so simple.

On religious matters, Lu Zhe chose to leave it to professionals, and after a major proposition was determined, how to get busy was the Huang Lao School, the Yin and Yang School, the Confucian School, and the Novelist School...... It was even involved in the famous school. The main purpose of these schools of thought is to find certain well-founded stories from antiquity, to find a person with absolute representation to deify. And it seems that Jean has really found out a legendary god, and this great god is Pangu.

Of course, Lu Zhe would not explicitly tell those schools that they wanted to "create a religion", and the excuse he was looking for was archaeology......

"If you really want to have an object of faith, in fact, the royal (royal) family represented by you is the most suitable." Uncle Sun Tong's words made Lu Zhe stunned, and goosebumps all over his body rose.

What do you mean? Shusun Tong means to directly deify Lu Zhe. The family is also packaged to become a family similar to "God on earth".

It seems that Confucianism is very fond of doing things that deify kings? In the pre-Qin period of ancient times, the co-lord of the world was the "Son of Heaven", which can be interpreted as "the son of heaven" or "shepherd all beings on behalf of the heavens".

After the end of the pre-Qin period, Confucianism has been committed to pushing the king to the altar, and Confucianists in all dynasties have been doing so. The Confucians did this partly to please the king, but in fact, their intention was even deeper, to deify the ruler. In the end, let the ruler become a symbolic figure like a "decoration", and leave such a difficult matter of governing the world to Confucianism, and the king should become a "clay sculpture" to accept the worship with peace of mind.

What else did Lu Zhe think of? He thought of the "one line of eternity" of a certain island country, that is, the "living gods" or something. It's just that he can't guess what kind of "great cause" Uncle Sun Tong wants to accomplish. Is it like the Confucian scholars of all dynasties who shaped the king into a "clay sculpture", or is it a "living god" on the island?

The people around were all looking at Shusun Tong with strange eyes looking forward to the answer, except for Yan Bi's eyes that were shining, the rest of the people were a kind of rejection and jealousy, and some people couldn't even hide the urge to pinch to death.

No one wants everything in the world to be completely controlled by one person, as long as it is a living thing, there is a yearning for freedom. Naturally, the nation needs a helmsman, but this helmsman cannot be without any constraints. Shaping the gods in the world? Especially when the god is the ruler of the country, what a crazy thing it would be!

Lu Zhe noticed that the surroundings suddenly became strangely quiet, and he looked left and right, but he didn't find anything unusual from the ministers who had already covered up their feelings.

"Your Majesty, the princess and all the ladies, princes, and princesses have been waiting for a long time, haven't they?"

"Huh?"

Lu Zhe originally wanted to climb the mountain to the west of Yiling, look down from a high place, take a good look at the blueprint he had planned on paper, and see if there was anything else that needed to be modified. He looked up at the cloudless sky, the sun was hanging in the air and releasing its rays downward, and it was nothing for many women and necessary officials and soldiers to bask in the sun, and a few young children and babies could not stand the toss, so they had to give up the idea of climbing the mountain and looking down.

Yiling and Nanling are less than 20 miles apart, if you are in a higher position, you can actually clearly see a "giant dragon" lying down, that "dragon" is the fifteen-meter-high city wall of Nanling City.

Looking at the past from different angles, the appearance of Nanling City is definitely different, the difference between the west, north and east is not too big, but the south is close to the Yangtze River, and the sensory impact is definitely much greater.

The 100,000 army did not all accompany Lu Zhe to Yiling, only 20,000 were dispatched as an escort force, and the remaining 80,000 and most of the civil and military officials stayed on the edge of the road to the south. Therefore, Lü Zhe approached from the west of Nanling, but after getting close to a certain distance, he needed to turn around and go to rendezvous with the 80,000 troops left earlier.

Ten miles away from the west gate of Nanling City, many flags fluttered, and on both sides of the avenue, I don't know whose idea was hung all over the trees on the side of the road with colored satin, so that the scene looked a little colorful at the same time, I didn't know whether to say grand or chaotic.

"The king did not come from the west gate, but changed course to the north gate."

"What ???"

The phrase "what" was subconsciously shouted from the mouths of several people, including Zhao Wan and Lu Pheasant.

The ritual of welcoming the king back has never been fixed, but the process of going out of the city to greet him has never changed. It was Lu Pheasant who mentioned that Zhao Wan went out of the city first, and as for hanging silk and satin on both sides of the avenue, it was Ying Yangzi's mention yì. The idea of bringing many children was Zhao Wan to take it herself, not from anyone's construction.

This is ten miles west of Nanling City, and the group of them rushed to the north of Nanling City from here, and the speed was definitely faster than Lu Zhe and his party, who all used chariots or war horses to travel.

"What should I do?" Zhao Wan seems to have lost some square inches? (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
