I want to be a grandson

Chapter 653 Take Your Life to Pay for the Crime!

"This is the Martyr's Shrine! It's a martyr's shrine dedicated to those soldiers who were born and died for the Ming Dynasty!"

"These loyalists threw their heads and blood for Daming, for Daming's heart and soul, shrouded in horse leather..."

"Some of them have left their names, and some don't even have names... But this does not hinder their fame!"

"I ordered people to build this martyr's shrine to tell the world that those soldiers who were loyal to Ming Dynasty will never be forgotten by Ming Dynasty, and future generations will never forget them!"

"From the day of the construction of the Martyr's Shrine, as long as my royal family of the Ming Dynasty remains for one day, as long as the world is still under my Zhu Ming tomorrow, the Martyr's Shrine will continue to burn incense! The supply will be endless!"

"Martyr's Shrine, rest with the country!"

Standing on the steps, Zhu Yunxi burst into loud voices, and every word hit the hearts of all the soldiers in the audience.

For soldiers, every war means that some people will die on the battlefield.

For the ancients, there is nothing more important than the inheritance of incense!
So when I saw this martyr's shrine, and heard the emperor's personal promise that the heroic spirits of the martyr's shrine would rest with the country, I couldn't stop being extremely excited!
This is the approval from the emperor!

His Majesty personally said that there is absolutely no reason to change it!
Since then, it has become a custom, and the dead soldiers will surely receive the incense for eternity!

This is simply more noble than living people like them!

Just when everyone was immersed in the great glory and couldn't extricate themselves for a while,
Suddenly, I saw dozens of children, neatly dressed, jogging over from one side.

The youngest of these children was six or seven years old, and the oldest was eleven or twelve years old. They were tall and low, with round and square faces. They all had firm faces, and there was a firm expression in their clear eyes.

These children came to Zhu Yunxi, bowed and gave a deep salute, then stood up,

Facing the soldiers, he also sang: "Don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same robe with me. The king Yu Xingshi, repair my spear. I have the same hatred with you!..."

"This is... this is the orphan of the battlefield!"

The soldiers below recognized the identities of these children and couldn't help but exclaimed.

The news spread quickly like the autumn wind, and it didn't take long for many soldiers to know about it.

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same pool with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with your son!"

After singing together, these children clasped their fists and saluted.

Looking at these children, Zhu Yunxi was filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty, are these children orphans of soldiers?"

General Sapphire saluted and asked.

Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said, "That's right, these children are the orphans of my Ming soldiers!"

After being confirmed by the emperor, Lan Yu bowed deeply to Zhu Yunxi...

Zhu Yunxi said: "Soldiers, when I learned that the flesh and blood of my Ming soldiers were wandering outside and were abandoned, my heart ached!"

"That's why I specially ordered people to find all the orphans of the soldiers and let them raise them in the nursing home..."

"These soldiers shed their blood for Daming, how can I, Daming, let their descendants down! It was my negligence to let these children suffer before!"

General Lan Yu knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said with red eyes, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. After all the soldiers died in battle, there are only a few unattended children after all. Your Majesty has a lot to do every day, so how can you cover everything...

It is the ministers who did not take into account the feelings of robes and Ze, it is the negligence of the ministers, please be punished by your majesty! "

"My ministers are guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Ying Guogong Fu Youde, Founding Duke Chang Sheng and others immediately fell to their knees.

"Generals, please stand up!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Wang Zhong, pass on my order. From now on, whenever there are orphans of soldiers, the imperial court must do a good job in helping them. It is absolutely impossible for an orphan to be in trouble!"

"The government must take special care of all loyal families. During the holidays, officials must be sent to condolences! If there is any injustice, the government will accept it immediately!"

"All prefectures and counties, local officials, who conceal and fail to report, and neglect their duties, will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishments for a serious punishment!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

At this moment, the soldiers below looked at Zhu Yunxi, their eyes almost burst into flames!
Holy Majesty!

There is no one else in the world who values ​​soldiers so much!
When soldiers go to war, there are some things they have to do, and some are for some military exploits and rewards.
And besides the name behind him, the most worrying thing is what happens after him!

That is, my own children!
If you meet a virtuous wife and kind relatives, then you can rest assured that at least you won't rob your own family property, so that your children can grow up...

But if you meet someone unkind...

Brothers and relatives are no longer the generation of wolves...

Then when I die on the battlefield, my property and family property will be divided up immediately...

Children will also be reduced to orphans, with no one to take care of them at all!
In the old days, it was popular among the common people to "eat extinct households", that is, when the family had no children or daughters after their own death, or when the children were young and could not make decisions at all, or there was only one only daughter,

Then all the land and property left by him during his lifetime will be sold by the squires in the village and exchanged for silver, and then use the money to set up running water mats in the village and entertain every household in the village.

The banquet lasted for several months at most, and at least several days, until all the savings of the family were eaten up.

Some will be divided up by the family...

So for the soldiers, death on the battlefield may not be the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that their children become beggars, freeze and starve to death!

Now even if he died in battle, who would dare to bully the orphans and widows with the attention of the government? !

So for Zhu Yunxi, the soldiers support him from the bottom of their hearts!

They all shouted: "Long live Your Majesty! Die for Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Die for Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Die for Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, Zhu Yunxi led the generals of the five armies' governor's mansion, and under the witness of the soldiers, they made a grand sacrifice to the Martyrs' Shrine.

Then the soldiers were allowed to visit the Martyr's Garden freely...

"I fought this battle!"

"See if it's recorded here! In the 21st year of Hongwu, Emperor Tianyuan Togusi Timur repeatedly harassed the frontier fortresses, and the imperial court sent a general of 15 troops to conquer Beiyuan!"

"I killed three yuan soldiers in this battle, and the blood was sprayed all over the face!"

"You only killed three, and I killed five! The knife was cut off!"

"There was a Yuan soldier who was very cunning. When I approached him, I swung my knife and slashed. I didn't have any free hands at the time. My head was about to be chopped off. I thought this life was worth it..."

"Who would have thought that the saber didn't cut it down? Later, I listened to it and found out that it was Old Deng who stabbed the Yuan soldier's heart with a single shot..."

"It's a pity that in the subsequent battle, Old Deng didn't stand up..."

Looking at the familiar name on the stele, the soldier couldn't help but his eyes were red, and tears flowed down quietly.

The soldiers who came to participate in the opening of the Martyrs' Shrine today all fought on the battlefield.

Some of the wars recorded on the stele here, as well as the names engraved on it, are people they know, and some of them even have friendships that have passed their lives...

So the soldiers each found the steles that recorded the wars they had participated in. Together, they recalled the conditions of the battlefield at that time, and at the same time recalled the brotherhood...

Around a stone tablet, five or six soldiers stood there silently.

The leader said humanely: "I still remember that the battle was fought in darkness, the soldiers all forgot the time, and the brothers in our battalion were all scattered...

At that time, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and it seemed that our entire army would be wiped out. At that time, Brother Chen saw the opportunity and killed the leader of the opponent, gathered all our brothers together, and took the opportunity to tear open the enemy's siege, so that we could survive ..."

"Unfortunately, later he was shot by the thief's stray arrow, which pierced his back... Sigh, he could have survived, who knows in the end..."

"This is human life... Now Brother Deng's name is engraved on this stone tablet, and he will be enshrined with incense for generations to come. This is much more noble than the tablet in our family..."

"Okay, brothers, don't be sad. Let's fight hard in the future and be loyal to His Majesty. Maybe our names can be engraved on the stone tablet..."

After all, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all died on the battlefield. Although seeing those brothers who died in battle, they would feel sad,

But there is also envy!

"Your Majesty said that the Martyrs' Shrine will be open to the common people. When the time comes, we will bring our children with us to worship and worship, and let them know how we fought..."

"Yes, I should take the children to see it! Let them know how many battles I have fought! How many corpses and bloody seas I have passed through!"

"Liu Qian is always my benefactor. If it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago! There are not even bones left! I have to worship and worship!"

Accompanied by several generals, Zhu Yunxi walked in the garden and looked at the steles together.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of laughter and scolding at the corner ahead, which attracted Zhu Yunxi's attention involuntarily.

"Meet Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

When the soldiers saw that it was the emperor, their hearts were shocked, they quickly suppressed their smiles, knelt down on the ground and began to tremble.

"What are you doing, what's the point of making a fuss here!" the general Lan Yu asked displeased.

Several soldiers knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to say a word.

Zhu Yunxi did not blame, but asked: "Zheng just came here, and it seems very interesting to hear what you are talking about..."

The soldier who was the leader among them swallowed, knowing that if he didn't speak clearly, he would probably be punished.

Therefore, he mustered up his courage and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, several of us participated in the battle recorded on this stele, and we served as soldiers together. Just now we told the peaceful life of today to Pao Ze who died in the battle... "

"While talking, I just talked about the embarrassing thing about Wang Fu being cheated. The villain is guilty, please punish him!"

"Huh? About being cheated?"

Zhu Yunxi asked curiously: "What about being cheated? Who is Wang Fu? Get up!"

"Yes……"

Several soldiers stood up slowly from the ground, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the king.

The leader of the soldiers gave the man named Wang Fu a few winks, but he buried his head almost in his chest, trembling all over nervously, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, unable to speak !
In desperation, the leading soldier had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, he is Wang Fu..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at him and asked, "You are Wang Fu? They said you were cheated, what happened?"

Seeing that soldier was speechless, Ying Guogong Fu Youde was so angry that he wanted to hit him, "Your Majesty is asking you something! Why don't you answer quickly!"

Zhu Yunxi understood the nervousness of a soldier seeing the emperor, so he said kindly: "You don't have to be afraid, just say what you have, how did you get cheated? Who cheated you? Tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"

Under Zhu Yunxi's encouragement, the soldier said timidly: "Your Majesty, I... little man, I married a daughter-in-law a while ago... Well, my daughter-in-law is gone again..."

"..."

Zhu Yunxi was at a loss when he heard that, he married a wife for a while, and lost his wife for a while...

I don't know why it's gone...

Seeing that he could no longer speak, the leading soldier hurriedly answered for him: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is like this, Wang Fu is the only son of their family, and my father and mother have passed away a few years ago, so I left a few houses for use." There are several acres of paddy fields...

Because Wang Fu usually doesn't like to talk, so the marriage has never been settled..."

"Some time ago, a matchmaker came to their house to talk about marriage. The woman looked good, and Wang Fu got a daughter-in-law through half-buying and half-marrying. Who would have thought that the woman would disappear within a month of getting married. ...

They also sold the paddy fields of Wang Fu’s house, and the family’s money was taken away... We all said that he met a fairy dance..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned.

Seeing the emperor frowning, the leading soldier didn't know what he said wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say any more.

It is estimated that a few of them just told this "embarrassing incident" to you, the soldier's robe, and wanted them to "have fun" under the spring, so I heard it.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "Then have you reported to the officials?"

"Report, report..." Wang Fu said.

"What did the government say?"

Wang Fu twisted his fingers vigorously, and said creakingly: "Return to Your Majesty, if so, the government will let the villain wait..."

"How long have you been waiting? Is there any result?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

"Waiting for more than three months, no, no results..." After saying these words, Wang Fu's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he was even more exhausted than after a big battle.

"Jiang Yu!"

Zhu Yunxi's complexion turned dark, and in exchange for the Jinyiwei Commander Jiang Yu.

"I am waiting for your orders!" Jiang Yu saluted.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Did you hear it all?"

"Yes, I have heard it all."

So Zhu Yunxuan argued and said: "Then you Jinyiwei will be responsible for this matter! No matter whether you go to heaven or earth, you must find out these liars for me! Otherwise, use your head to pay for the crime!"

Jiang Yu was shocked, he hadn't heard such harsh words from His Majesty for a long time!

Knowing that this matter is no small matter in His Majesty's mind, he hurriedly said: "Yes, my minister obeys, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"No, don't, don't..., it's all trivial..."

Hearing that it was such a severe order to alarm Jin Yiwei, Wang Fu was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't know what to say.

It was already shocking to dispatch Jin Yiwei for such a trivial matter.

He also said that the Commander of Jinyiwei should take his life to pay for the crime...

Wang Fu felt as if he had caused trouble...

But Zhu Yunxi comforted: "You don't have to worry, just wait for the good news! But there are no trivial matters involving soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
