Can I get to the other side?

Since the establishment of Lingyun Pavilion, the enthusiasm of both the government and the public to fight against thieves has been mobilized. Countless soldiers are gearing up and waiting for the day of dispatching troops.

Everyone is looking forward to making great achievements in this war, ascending to Lingyun Pavilion, becoming a general, and leaving a lasting name.

During this period, the imperial court was also actively preparing for the expedition.

A large amount of grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and ordnance were transported to the front line, and naval warships were also being built day and night.

Three months is neither long nor short, but it is still somewhat urgent compared to preparations for war.

Liu Xie was not idle during this period.

With the war approaching, he went out of the palace more and more frequently to inspect the military and boost morale. He also often went out of the palace to visit the families of those fallen soldiers.

This was done not only to establish the image of the emperor as being close to the people, but also to inspire the soldiers' determination to fight for the country.

However, after many visits out of the palace, Liu Xie discovered a problem that could not be ignored, so he specially summoned Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others into the palace for discussion.

Weiyang Palace, Xuan Room. .

"See Your Majesty——"

After Guo Jia and others entered the main hall, they sang a ceremony together.

Liu Xie was handling the memorial behind the Long case. When he heard the sound, he said without raising his head: "This is not a court meeting, there is no need to be so formal."

"Come here, give me a seat."

Immediately, eunuchs provided cushions for them.

Liu Xie was still dealing with the memorial, and it seemed that he wanted to finish what he was doing before talking to them.

Guo Jia and the others also waited patiently for Liu Xie to be busy.

They all felt that the emperor had undergone a great transformation since he visited the military more often. He spoke and acted more crisply and decisively in the military.

After all, efficiency is the first priority in the army. From the commander down to the soldiers, no hesitation or sloppiness should be allowed when facing military orders. They all need to be able to do so.

After giving instructions on the last piece of paper in his hand, Liu Xie put down the ink pen in his hand, then took a sip of the ginseng tea on the side, and then looked at Guo Jia and others.

"Now that the war is imminent, in order to motivate the soldiers, I have been out of the palace for inspections these days. You all know this."

Liu Xie said straight to the point.

Fazheng nodded, then nodded and praised: "Your Majesty cares about the soldiers, and even personally visited the homes of the fallen soldiers. The people are praising your Majesty's kindness..."

But Fazheng was interrupted by Liu Xie before he finished speaking.

"Xiao Nao, when did you learn this trick? I didn't call you here just to listen to your good words."

Liu Xie sighed helplessly and then said.

Fazheng couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

The other ministers couldn't help but smile when they saw this, and then Jia Xu opened his mouth to relieve Fazheng: "What problems did your Majesty find when he came out of the palace to inspect this time?"

During this period, the emperor often visited the military and the families of martyrs. Since this matter was mentioned, it means that it is related to this matter.

Liu Xie did not show off, and said directly to everyone: "In the past half month, I have inspected a total of seventy-nine families of the fallen soldiers."

"Twenty-eight of the families have only orphans, widows, and elderly people left; and there are 31 families that have no children except the elderly, widows, and widows."

"In some families, all two brothers died in the battle, leaving only the widow and old parents but no descendants, which means that they all have no descendants."

Liu Xie's words were very straightforward and clear.

After hearing his words, all the ministers looked at each other in shock. They had heard about these things, but they didn't understand what the purpose of Tiantian was saying this at this time.

Those soldiers were killed in battle, and all the court could do was support their parents until they died of old age. Moreover, the treatment and pension provided by the Han Dynasty to the fallen soldiers were the most generous in history.

But they really can't solve this kind of problem.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing I can do about this kind of thing. The court cannot directly give them a child."

Sima Yi said rather helplessly.

Although I feel sorry for those soldiers, this is not something that human power can change. The most we can do is select those young men with surviving heirs to join the army when recruiting soldiers in the future.

But the soldiers who have died in battle have no choice. Even if they know that this problem exists, they cannot solve it. This is something that is simply unavoidable.

"That's not what I meant."

Liu Xie shook his head slightly, then picked up the ink pen and turned it in his hand, looking at it and said: "I once saw a passage in an ancient book, which said that people will die three times in total."

"The first time is physical death, completely falling into eternal sleep; the second time is identity death, that is, after being buried in a coffin."

"Being buried in a coffin means dying in the hearts of everyone who knew you. This is the second death."

Liu Xie said to himself, making all the ministers stunned.

This is the first time they have heard of this kind of death. It is very new, but it is interesting to think about it carefully.

"Your Majesty, what does the third death look like?"

Zhuge Liang took the initiative to ask Liu Xie.

Just now Liu Xie mentioned two ways of death, physical and identity death, so what is the third death?

"The third death..."

Liu Xie stopped what he was doing, then looked at the ministers in front of him, and said solemnly: "The third death is when the last person who knows you forgets you."

"From now on, there will be no trace or proof of your existence in the world, and no one will remember you anymore, just like a speck of dust disappearing from the sky and the earth."

All the ministers couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this.

There is great terror between life and death.

If they are forgotten after death, what is the meaning of their existence? What's the point of everything?

When they think of the eternal loneliness and emptiness after death, they can't help but tremble in their hearts.

However, Liu Xie's words still did not stop, and he said quietly: "The ultimate goal of princes, generals and ministers throughout the ages after gaining wealth and power is to leave a name in history and strive to leave traces in the world and occupy a place in the history books. There is a place for it.”

"Why? In the final analysis, it is fear. Fear that no one will remember my existence, and only a handful of loess will be left."

"Everyone here, including me, no matter what happens in the future, will be able to leave their names in the history books and be remembered by future generations. Our merits and achievements will be praised by our names and will be remembered for generations to come."

"But the countless soldiers who died for my Han Dynasty, who are the cornerstones of our Han Dynasty's rise, can only be forgotten in history. Even after the death of their parents and other relatives, no one will pay homage to them."

"Isn't this a great sadness?"

After Liu Xie finished speaking, the expressions of all the ministers present changed, full of extremely complicated meanings.

They now understood what Liu Xie meant.

"Then...what is your Majesty's plan?"

Guo Jia looked up at Liu Xie and asked seriously. He also felt that this question should be taken seriously.

All the ministers turned their attention to Liu Xie.

I saw Liu Xie solemnly saying: "My big man has countless fierce generals and thousands of sharp soldiers. These soldiers are brave and invincible, and they are willing to fight to the death for my big man."

"But my strength as a great man is not only made by them, but also by the blood of countless unknown soldiers!"

"As long as there is a war, they cannot avoid death, but at least let them die in a worthy manner and in a worthy name!"

"Do you think so?"

When the ministers heard this, their expressions became solemn, and they nodded solemnly and said, "It should be so!"

Then Liu Xie's eyes became sharp and he said loudly: "I want to use the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum as my martyrs' cemetery and erect 300,000 wordless monuments in it!"

"If one person dies, the next person's name will be engraved!"

"It's not just the generals of the army. If I can't regain the country of Han Dynasty, then after my funeral, my birth and death dates will be engraved on it. There is no need to bury me in the imperial mausoleum. I will be buried directly with the generals of Han Dynasty." !”

Liu Xie's voice was full of infinite determination!

After hearing this, all the ministers were shocked by this plan - the Martyrs Cemetery and the 300,000 wordless monuments.

What an amazing idea!

At this moment, no one spoke up to object, everyone just felt extremely excited!

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Sima Yi all stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there should also be a monument for the ministers in this martyrs' cemetery!"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

They knew it was an incredibly large and unrewarding undertaking.

But so what?

As long as these three hundred thousand monuments are erected, the national soul of the Han Dynasty will be condensed! And forever indelible!

This is more precious than any gold, silver, or silk!

Liu Xie slowly suppressed the anger in his chest.

He had had such an idea as early as when he first saw the Han soldiers dying in battle and countless corpses being sent to the pit for burning.

Do those soldiers have families? Are there any heirs?

If their family members and heirs die, will anyone remember them and pay homage to them every festival?

How many such unknown and forgotten heroes were there during the rise of the Han Dynasty?

This idea became stronger after visiting many families of soldiers and relatives during this period, and he finally made up his mind!

He wants to set up a monument for countless soldiers of the Han Dynasty!

He wants them to die a worthy death and be famous after death!

He wants their names to be passed down to eternity and shine for eternity along with the glory of the great Han Dynasty!

"But Your Majesty, isn't the expense of establishing a martyrs' cemetery and erecting monuments for the fallen soldiers a bit too huge?"

Yang Xiu hesitated for a moment and said in a somewhat embarrassing tone.

Although he also felt that if a martyrs cemetery could be established, it would have an extraordinary effect on uniting the morale of the military, but the expense would be considerable.

Liu Xie said: "I have already considered this matter. The money I spent on building the mausoleum has not been used yet. I will use it to build the martyrs' cemetery and erect an unmarked monument."

I originally planned to use this money for disaster relief last time, but after Zhang He attacked the Qiang royal court and captured it, the money was left idle.

Just in use now.

Moreover, using the money for building mausoleums to build martyrs’ cemeteries is considered to be a fitting outcome.

Yang Xiu nodded and said no more.

Liu Xie turned his attention to Zhuge Liang again and said, "Kong Ming, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhuge Liang's heart trembled, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

…

Soon, news of the construction of the martyrs' cemetery spread.

This was another major decision after Lingyun Pavilion. Once the news spread, it instantly shocked the entire government and opposition parties.

What a huge undertaking it is to erect monuments on the back hill of the Imperial Tomb of the Han Dynasty for all the fallen soldiers. !

No matter when a Han soldier died in battle, his family, relatives or descendants only needed to report it to the local government, and then a monument would be erected on the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum.

And those unknown soldiers who died in the battle and had no descendants unified and erected a huge monument as a memorial.

But what is even more shocking than this is the promise the emperor made to the people of the world in the edict!

That is to let every soldier die worthy of his name! A worthy death!

Their names will be remembered forever!

Not only that, the emperor will also set up a monument for himself. If he fails to defeat the thief, he will be buried with all the soldiers after his death and will not enter the imperial mausoleum!

After the news spread, the government and the public were shocked.

And countless relatives and relatives of the fallen soldiers all cried bitterly, and even knelt down and kowtowed towards the imperial capital Chang'an.

"My son, my son, have you seen it! You are the hero of the Han Dynasty! You are going to be erected with a monument!"

"This is my big man! Your Majesty will definitely wipe out the traitors!"

"Oh my son... your soul in heaven can finally rest in peace. With so many heroic souls accompanying you, you will not be alone along the way. Wu wu..."

"My son will die without regrets!"

…

This edict had a great response among the people.

The Han Dynasty did not know how many soldiers who joined the army were either only sons in the family or had no descendants.

After they died, the family basically became destitute.

And once their parents die, no one will remember them and they will be completely forgotten.

Now the emperor has set up a monument for each soldier on the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum, so that every soldier who died in battle can rest in peace!

For most parents and soldiers who join the army, this is more precious than any pension!

The monument erection project was quickly implemented.

Liu Xie personally named the place where the soldiers erected monuments the Han Dynasty Martyrs Cemetery, and was the first to erect his own monument and engraved his name on it.

As long as he dies, the dates of birth and death will be engraved on it again, just like all other soldiers.

Building the Han Martyrs' Tomb was a very huge project, but after the people learned the news, they came from all directions and thousands of miles away to help.

Either they came here with stones on their backs, or they brought their own dry food and money and did corvee work for free to build the martyrs' tombs.

The wealthy families also enthusiastically donated money. Even the stingiest people became generous at this time, just for the construction of the Martyrs' Mausoleum.

And the news quickly spread to every county in the world.

And it caused a big shock.

“His Majesty built martyrs’ tombs for all the soldiers, and also erected his own monument in them… How ambitious and ambitious this is!”

"Your Majesty is truly a hero today!"

"It's really amazing!"

"Lingyun Pavilion, the Martyrs' Dormitory, there are tens of thousands of Han soldiers, and how many bones are wrapped in iron clothes... So majestic! So majestic!"

"This is the true spirit of the emperor. How can the false emperor compare with His Majesty? This time the imperial court goes south to destroy Cao Cao's thieves and capture the false emperor!"
