Chungsukkaku is a high-platform building that is built with earth, and then the building is built on the high platform, and the earth platform below is wrapped with various buildings such as stairs. Although such a building is a huge project, it has the advantage of being particularly grandiose. The momentum is magnificent, this is exactly what Chen Chu wants.

The Loyal Soul Pavilion is divided into two before and after, the front hall has only one floor, and the inner space is as high as eight meters, this is the martyr's hall. In the center of the Hall of Martyrs stands a huge wooden statue, six meters high. The statue is the image of a soldier, clad in armor and standing with a sword, and his face is lifelike. However, how does the image of this soldier look like Chen Chu. It turned out that when the craftsmen carved this statue, they didn't know whose image to portray, so the craftsmen asked Deng Gong, who was in charge of the construction of the Loyal Soul Pavilion, and Deng Gong said to the craftsmen with an idea: "Just carve it according to the appearance of the lord!" As a result, the wooden statue standing in the martyr's hall became the image of Chen Chu.

There is a couplet on the left and right of the statue, the book "Iron Bone Dan Heart Conquers the World, Blue Blood and Yellow Sand to Death"

is the Loyal Soul Shrine behind the Martyrs' Palace, which is a tower-like building, a total of five floors, and the skeleton tablet of the fallen soldiers is placed here.

The fifth floor of the Loyal Soul Temple is called the Temple of the God of War, and the bones of ordinary fallen soldiers will not be placed here. Only if there is a great merit in front of him, and this great merit must be a soldier in a foreign war, after death, the ashes can be put into the Temple of the God of War. In the "Biography of Chinese Heroes" written by later generations, most of them are based on the martyrs buried in the temple of the god of war.

In the morning, in the anticipation of everyone, today's protagonist finally appeared. I saw Chen Chu wearing armor and straddle the war horse, followed by Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Jaw in turn, under the neatly arranged five hundred iron wall guards, he walked across the wooden bridge with a solemn countenance, and came to the long steps of the Loyal Soul Pavilion.

Perhaps because today's atmosphere was particularly solemn, the nearly 100,000 people who were watching were silent, all quietly staring at Chen Chu and the six generals behind him.

Chen Chu glanced up at the majestic Loyal Soul Pavilion on the nearly twenty-meter-high staircase, and then slowly began to climb step by step, this was to show respect for the martyr's loyal soul.

In fact, the ashes of the fallen soldiers have already been placed in the Loyal Soul Pavilion, and what Chen Chu has to do today is to go to the Martyrs' Hall to worship the loyal soul.

.........

The whole worship process was cumbersome and complicated, Chen Chuchen came to the Loyal Soul Pavilion and did not complete all the worship procedures until the end of the day. The whole worship process is more cumbersome and rigorous than the worship of the gods.

After this ceremony, the eyes of the Northern Expeditionary Army looking at Chen Chu became even hotter. Although the families of the fallen soldiers still feel grief, it is more of a pride. And in the hearts of ordinary people, a feeling of reverence involuntarily rose, which was for Chen Chu and for all the officers and men of the Northern Army.

Since then, the Northern Army has formed a tradition, every year on August 1, Chen Chu will lead the generals to hold a ceremony to pay tribute to the soul of the faithful, and then as Chen Chu's power grows larger, the scale of the ceremony is getting larger and larger, to Chen Chu after the unification of the country, this ceremony has become the most important royal memorial activity of the new empire, but this is a later story, I will not talk about it here.

With the implementation of the various policies promulgated by Chen Chu to improve the social status of soldiers, especially the completion of the Loyal Soul Pavilion and the development of worship activities, in the control area of the Northern Army, the worship of martial arts and martial arts gradually became popular, and the military is no longer synonymous with low status, but a representative of loyalty and bravery, and the military has become a profession that many hot-blooded young people yearn for.

Later, there were even cases where women who were not military did not marry. Hehe, this is mainly because there is a soldier as a husband, and his status is half higher in front of people. And in some villages, there is also a competition between each other, comparing the number of soldiers in their respective villages.

In a word, with Chen Chu's efforts, the social status and treatment of the soldiers have been unprecedentedly improved, the morale of the army in the northern part of the country has been high, the army has an excellent and sufficient supply of soldiers, and the soldiers have become heroes in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, although the series of policies implemented by Chen Chu has brought incalculable positive benefits, it has also brought negative effects.

First of all, the relationship between the scholar class and Chen Chu has become more tense, and secondly, the standard for measuring a person's ability in society has become force, which directly leads to the courage and ruthlessness of the people to be stimulated, which has brought certain problems to social security.

Although Chen Chu's policies have brought some problems, in general, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

Guanzhong Meiwu.

"Of all the people, is this one the only one who is still loyal to me?" Dong Zhuo on the main seat asked with a grim face. There is only one person under Dong Zhuo, and this person is Li Ru.

Li Ru sighed and said, "I didn't expect this either. At the beginning, the generals surrendered to Chen Chu, but they were forced by the situation, but they didn't want to be in just over a year, and they had completely changed!

"Why is this happening? I don't treat them lightly! "Dong Zhuo's words are very true, although Dong Zhuo is greedy and cruel, he treats his soldiers really well. For example, after each place he ransacked, he would reward most of his goods to his soldiers. It is precisely for this reason that the soldiers under his command treat Dong Zhuo loyally. It is precisely because of this that in the history of Chen Chu's life, after Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang soldiers under his command would avenge him with great fanfare.

Li Ru replied: "It is said that there is a group of people called Sir in the Northern Expeditionary Army. These people don't know strategy, let alone fight, they only do one thing, that is, they keep instilling the idea of loyalty to Chen Chu in the soldiers of the Northern Army. I think it is precisely for this reason that our soldiers who surrendered to Cheng will finally be willing to be loyal to Chen Chu. "

There is some truth in what Li Ru said, but the reason why the Northern Army is so loyal to Chen Chu is not entirely the role of 'gentlemen'. It is impossible for Li Ru, who was in Guanzhong, to know much about the actual situation of the Northern Army.

Dong Zhuo nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said to Li Ru: "Zhong Jian, only this one person is still loyal to us, it seems that we can't count on it!" Dong Zhuo's tone looked very frustrated.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "That's not true, he is in a high position in Shangjun, and this Shangjun is a key place for us. If necessary, we can control the Upper County through him.

Dong Zhuo finally showed a smile when he heard this, "That's right." Zhong Jian, do you think we should use this chess piece now?

Dong Zhuo's impatience was a little beyond Li Ru's expectations.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "No, it's not the time yet!" If Chen Chu does something to us, he can only use this chess piece, otherwise, it will be harmful to us.

Dong Zhuo thought about it for a while, and then he understood the truth. So Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru: "In this case, then go to the letter and let him be at ease." "

Taishi is wise!" Li Ru immediately bowed.

After a pause, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru again: "How is the matter of buying Chen Chu's strategists?"

Li Ru frowned slightly, and then replied: "It seems to be going well, but I feel that this matter is a little strange."

"What's so strange?" Dong Zhuo was surprised.

"The advisors have accepted all the gifts we have given. It's strange to me that no one refused, which is a bit of an anomaly! It stands to reason that if Chen Chu was surrounded by such money-greedy people, Chen Chu would not have been able to achieve today's situation! Li Ru frowned, as if he was still thinking about this matter.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't think about it so much, only to see him laugh and say, "Just accept it!" Chen Chu is surrounded by these money-greedy villains, it seems that the day of Chen Chu's defeat will not be far away! Li

Ru didn't have a good mood like Dong Zhuo, he always felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.

Next, Li Ru discussed some daily affairs with Dong Zhuo. Then Li Ru left, and Dong Zhuo called a few bewitching concubines to go to the bedroom to do exercise.

Compared with the war in Jizhou, the situation in Guanzhong seems to be very calm, and the war seems to be very far away from here.

However, the people in Guanzhong have not been able to live and work in peace and contentment. In order to be able to enjoy himself with peace of mind, Dong Zhuo ordered people to build a large number of buildings west of Chang'an and build Meiwu. This eyebrow dock is not only a place for Dong Zhuo's pleasures, but also a strong defensive fortress.

The amount of work in Meiwu is very huge, when Dong Zhuo lived in Meiwu, only the main palace of Meiwu was completed, and most of the other facilities and buildings were still under intense construction, and some were even laying foundations. The construction of Meiwu has made the people of Guanzhong suffer, and I don't know when this suffering will end. In 189 AD, Meiwu was far from complete.

Li Ru didn't want to dissuade Dong Zhuo, but as the person closest to Dong Zhuo, he understood what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, and on this issue, he couldn't persuade Dong Zhuo at all, but might bring trouble to himself, so Li Ru didn't say anything.

However, Li Ru still took some measures to alleviate the contradictions, such as punishing the bullying Dong Zhuojun soldiers and soldiers, but due to many problems, these measures aimed at easing the contradictions between Dong Zhuojun and the people of Guanzhong were not effectively implemented. This is not because Li Ru's ability is limited, but because of Dong Zhuojun's inherent defects, which makes it impossible to solve the above problems in a short period of time.

In fact, in the depths of Li Ru's heart, the question he was thinking about was not at all to return to Luoyang and then win the world, the question he was thinking about was how to maintain Dong Zhuojun for a longer time.

At noon on August 3, just as Dong Zhuo and his concubines were turning clouds and rain, Li Ru suddenly came to ask to see Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Zhuo was extremely annoyed and reluctant to leave Wenwen Township, he knew that Li Ru must have something urgent when he came to see him at this time, so he immediately dressed up and went to the inner hall to meet Li Ru.

"Zhong Jian, what's the matter? Come and see me at this time! Dong Zhuo's tone was a little displeased.

"Taishi, it's a happy event!" Li Ru's expression looked very excited.
