(Thanks to book friend 20230206052629656 for the monthly ticket~)

Emperor Wu took the lead and walked in the forefront. Behind Emperor Wu was King Xiang who was released from confinement. Next to King Xiang was Princess Taiping.

Behind the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping are the Li family clan and the Wu clan, and behind them are the officials of the court.

Although the phalanx of the Imperial Physician's Office where Li Sanniang is located is not at the very end, it is still in the middle and back section near the end.

It was also when Li Sanniang was walking forward with Emperor Wu and others that she realized why Dr. Sun was missing?
After thinking about it, Li Sanniang felt that Dr. Sun might not be at the Imperial Medical Office at the front, and that the reward ceremony would be arranged here after the memorial ceremony.

After thinking about this, Li Sanniang stretched her legs tightly to follow the team, and also took time to think about when Li Dalang and Nineteenth could go home.

The road from the entrance to the Zhonglie Mausoleum to the Zhonglie Monument is not short, let alone with so many people moving forward little by little, it will be even slower.

After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, Li Sanniang could hear the doctors around her talking to each other.

In fact, the voices they spoke were already very low, but Li Sanniang's ears were really sensitive. From such a close distance, she could still hear them even if she didn't want to hear them.

"A saint is a real person. Where can I really walk in step by step?"

"Shut up and hurry up."

Less than half an hour later, the sun had already risen to its peak, and everyone had reached the Loyalty Monument.

There were Jinwu guards running back and forth to direct everyone where to stand. It took another quarter of an hour for the square formation to move around.

Li Sanniang lowered her head, took out a towel from her sleeve pocket and wiped the sweat on her forehead and nose. She took the opportunity to quickly stuff a piece of candy into her mouth, closed her mouth and chewed it to replenish her energy.

As soon as Li Sanniang swallowed the last bit of candy in her mouth, long horn sounds sounded from all directions.

Hearing this horn sound with a desolate and tragic atmosphere, no one needed to speak, and the small voices of the people around him stopped one by one.

After the horn sounded, the sound of war drums came from the front.

The sound of the war drums "dong dong dong, dong dong dong" makes people can't help but feel that they are on the battlefield in person at this moment, and there is a fight waiting in front of them.

Li Sanniang looked forward through the dense crowd in front of her, and then she saw Emperor Wu walking step by step towards the high platform in front of the Loyalty Monument. She saw Emperor Wu standing on the high platform, nodding to the general beside him.

The sound of the war drums kept beating faster and faster. A general wearing armor and sharp swords under Emperor Wu came to the front of the stage. After standing still, he shouted loudly: "Welcome the loyal soul of the Tang Dynasty to return home!"

Even among the dense drums, the general's words can be heard clearly. Anyone can hear the heartache and choking sounds from the general's words.

Then, Li Sanniang's ears were sensitive to the sound of uniform footsteps. She followed the source of the footsteps and looked at the path that everyone walked when they came, on the way to the loyal monument. At this moment, there was a hand. The soldiers of the Shi Jiajun holding their uniforms walked in front.

After about a hundred soldiers holding clothes and hats, there was a team of four soldiers carrying a black coffin. Li Sanniang looked at this dense team of coffin carriers whose end could not be seen, and felt panicked in her heart.

Naturally, the civilians gathered along the official road outside the Zhonglie Tomb also saw the black coffin carried by the team coming from the other official road, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. There was nothing they didn't understand.

"This is my man from the Tang Dynasty! This is my good man from the Tang Dynasty!" "He's back, he's back home, he's back home."

Xing Yu stood in the crowd with his wife and children. This scene was too heavy for his soul who came from a peaceful world.

During these peaceful and peaceful days in Chang'an, it was only at this moment that Xing Yu had a real sense of this.

"There is war outside the prosperous Chang'an City!"

The sensual women and husbands couldn't bear looking at the black coffins, sobbed and cried along with the sound of war drums.

In front of the Martyrs' Monument, Emperor Wu stood on a high platform. With a solemn face, she looked through her crown at the clothes and crowns held by the soldiers in the audience, as well as the black coffin that stretched to the entrance of the Martyrs' Mausoleum carried by the four people behind. Who was it? I don't know what she was thinking at this time.

When the two armies are at war, many times the bodies of their own soldiers can be recovered through military uniforms after a truce, but more often only the stumps can be found.

The main reason was also because of the black gunpowder developed by Du Qinghui in this war. Gunpowder has no eyesight and it is impossible to separate camps.

Therefore, the first ones holding their clothes and hats were soldiers who could not find their complete remains and planned to bury them with their clothes and hats.

The sound of the war drums stopped, Emperor Wu stood still, and her calm voice rang out: "In the winter of the second year of Yongchang, the Western Turks invaded the border, burned, killed, and looted, killing more than [-] people.

I was frightened and angry after hearing this, so I sent troops to guard the territory of the Tang Dynasty and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The soldier died on the battlefield serving his country, and today his loyal soul returns to the Zhonglie Mausoleum with honor.

I praise you, the loyal soul of the Tang Dynasty!
With such a loyal soul, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper!
On the fourth day of July in the fourth year of Yongchang, the whole country paid tribute and came back! "

As soon as Emperor Wu finished his last words, he heard a "squeak" sound, and Li Sanniang saw two obvious red smokes burning in the sky on both sides of the loyal monument in front.

In just two breaths, four "bang bang bang" explosions came from four directions one after another.

Except for those who knew in advance, people like Li Sanniang who had no idea thought that there was a huge thunder falling from the sky or that something bad had happened. After seeing Emperor Wu and the others calm down, Li Sanniang suddenly realized that this Could it be the sound of gunpowder explosions to send off the soldiers?
Sure enough, there were soldiers going back and forth in front of each square to explain that this was arranged in advance to see off Zhonghun.

At this moment, Li Sanniang really felt that Emperor Wu's situation was big enough, and she was even willing to take out such hot weapons, just to see off the dead soldiers.

Before Li Sanniang could figure out the reason, the general who shouted before stood up again, "Sacrifice wine for the loyal soul!"

Emperor Wu was holding an ordinary pottery bowl, which contained nothing but the cheapest wine. She was holding the pottery bowl and poured it towards the Monument of Loyalty and Martyrs, and then picked up another bowl and drank.

The same was true for the generals standing nearby. After Emperor Wu finished drinking, he heard the general shout: "Send the loyal soul to the mausoleum!"

In this way, the soldiers holding the clothes and carrying the black coffin started to move, and walked around the loyal monument one by one to the mausoleum behind the loyal monument.

There have been pits dug long ago, and people have been waiting to bury these loyal souls brought back from the border town thousands of miles away, and let their souls return to the Tang Dynasty!
