Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Mangya Village.

cemetery.

The ashes and remains of soldiers who died for the country in the Tang Dynasty are buried here.

The breeze blew slightly, bringing up a few leaves and falling on the densely packed tombs.

The cry of crows came from time to time, which made the place reveal a sad atmosphere.

Li Er came here silently with his group of officials.

There was a lot of sadness and respect on everyone's face.

Without these soldiers who died on the battlefield, they might not have the qualifications to stand here.

After receiving the news that all Liang divisions were killed, Daliang destroyed the country, and Qin Mu had led his army back to the court.

Li Er decided to bring everyone here to wait.

He knew Qin Mu very well.

Knowing that every time Qin Mu came back from the battlefield, he would definitely come here to bury the soldiers who died for the country.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Er loves Qin Mu.

He treated his soldiers as if they were his own brothers, with sincerity and sincerity.

Li Er has fought battles for half his life, and he knows many things in the army very well.

He is very clear about the impact of Qin Mu's actions on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

But among the officials following Li Er, some people didn't think so.

They think that such a great victory is a great thing for both the court and the emperor.

Such a festive event, why do you have to come here?

Although, without these soldiers who died on the battlefield, there would be no victory.

But this kind of sacrifice can be done at any time, and it would be too disappointing to do so now.

Besides, these lowly soldiers had such a fate.

of course.

They dare not speak out directly.

He just muttered to himself to vent his dissatisfaction, and he didn't dare to let Li Er hear it.

Li Er stood in the cemetery, looking at the grave closest to him, lost in thought.

A drop of rain just hit the tombstone, bringing up some dust.

soon.

The rain poured down without warning.

Li Er and Baiguan, who did not make any preparations, became drowned chickens almost instantly.

At this time, the triumphant army had not yet arrived.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, some people couldn't stand anymore.

They didn't want to come to the cemetery at such a time, so they took the opportunity to persuade Li Er.

"Your Majesty, it's raining heavily, and the triumphant army may not be able to arrive in a short time. Let's go back to the palace and wait. Your Majesty's dragon body is important!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's useless to continue waiting here. It's better to go back to the palace first. I think the soldiers will understand."

People kept coming forward to persuade Li Er.

Some people even found something temporarily to shield Li Er from the rain, but he waved him away.

"The sky was clear just now. After we arrived, it rained heavily. It seems that God is also crying for the soldiers."

Li Er ignored these people, wiped the rainwater off his face, and muttered while looking at the gray sky.

"Perhaps God also knows that the army is coming back soon, and the brothers who died in battle have returned home."

Looking at the cemetery covered by heavy rain, and the densely packed graves in the rain.

A sense of sadness welled up in Li Er's heart.

"His Majesty."

"Go back to the palace, Your Majesty."

Others are still persuading.

"Shut up!" Li Er frowned, turned his head and said angrily: "Today, no matter what, I will wait here for the triumphant return of the army."

"The army of the Northern Expedition fought bloody battles on the battlefield. How many lives of soldiers were sacrificed to win this victory. I just got caught in the rain, so why can't I stand it!"

"Soldiers on the front line, throw your head and radiate blood, can't you bear us waiting here? Why don't you try it?"

Listen to Li Er's reprimand.

The scene was quiet, and no one spoke to persuade them, and they all lowered their heads.

This is indeed the case.

The emperor didn't have any complaints, so what right did they have to complain.

...

An hour later.

The sound of horseshoes vibrating came from a distance.

Not long after, the triumphant army marched towards the cemetery in Mangya Village.

Qin Mu walked in the front with a serious expression.

When he came back this time, he brought back all the soldiers who died in battle as much as possible.

They sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and spying on the common people. Qin Mu has the responsibility to bring them home.

As he approached the cemetery, Qin Mu saw all the civil and military officials and Li Er who was still waiting in the rain.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Mu frowned slightly, and led the crowd to salute Li Er.

"You don't need to be polite, dear friends, get up quickly."

Li Er stepped forward and helped Qin Mu and others up, his face was gentle and filled with joy.

Chapter 194: Li Er's Sorrow (3/4)

"Your Majesty, such heavy rain..."

Qin Mu was puzzled.

To be honest, Li Er really impressed Qin Mu this time.

He originally planned to lead the army back to Chang'an after burying the fallen soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Li Er actually waited again.

"You bring the corpses of the soldiers home, shouldn't I come to pay homage to them?"

With a smile on his face, Li Er reached out and patted Qin Mu's shoulder.

"This time you cleared away the threat to the Tang Dynasty, and defeated the Turks and the Great Liang. The credit goes to the country, and I am very relieved."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Qin Mu saluted and said calmly.

A long-lost greeting.

Li Er set his gaze on the carriage in front of the army.

There are the remains of soldiers who died for the country.

"Quick, let the soldiers rest in peace."

Li Er said, picked up the prepared hoe, went deep into the cemetery, and dug the grave himself.

Although the rain had lightened a lot at this time, it was still pattering and the ground was muddy.

Every time Li Er dug, a lot of muddy water would be thrown up, and the dragon robe on his body was already filthy.

But he didn't care, and continued to dig hard.

The officials wanted to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Qin Mu.

This is the emperor's wish, and the soldiers should have a good look at it.

Then Qin Mu walked over with a hoe and dug the ground with Li Er.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Li Jing and others also joined in.

The soldiers of the three armies outside the cemetery watched this scene, their bodies trembled slightly, and it was unclear whether it was rain or tears that ran across their cheeks.

By doing this, Li Er obviously took the soldiers to heart.

It is their honor to be able to follow such an emotional emperor.

"Since your majesty got along with the son-in-law, it's really different from before. Whether it's temper or disposition, they have changed a lot."

"That's right, if it was in the past, His Majesty would definitely not have come here sincerely."

The ministers discussed in low voices.

Immediately afterwards, they entered the cemetery and participated in it. Those who did not have a hoe dug with their hands.

After returning to the palace from the cemetery.

Li Er had a moderate illness.

He hadn't tossed like this for a long time, and his body obviously couldn't bear it.

In the Hall of Ganlu.

Li Er coughed twice, flipped through the memorial in front of him, and then casually threw it aside.

Now, he didn't have the heart to look at these at all.

Not because of physical reasons.

In this Northern Expedition, Eastern Turks and Daliang were destroyed one after another. Logically speaking, this is double happiness.

But Li Er couldn't be happier.

Recently, he received news from Liu Renyuan.

The right servant of the Shangshu, Pei Ji, was a little restless, and secretly had close contacts with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

Pei Ji is an old acquaintance of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and also an old minister who is devoted to Li Yuan.

At this time, he suddenly got close to Li Yuan.

Moreover, it was this sneaky way that had to make Li Er suspicious.

in fact.

In Li Er's heart, there is still a gap with Li Yuan.

During the year since Li Er ascended the throne, the relationship with Li Yuan has not only not eased.

On the contrary, it became more serious.

It was easy to deal with Pei Ji.

With Li Er's ability, no matter what they want to do, they only need to monitor closely.

Then wait for their actions with peace of mind, and then bombard them with thunder, and the threat will naturally be lifted.

But Li Er really couldn't bear it.

It was really hard for him to accept that he would meet Li Yuan in battle.

Li Er rubbed the center of his brows, heaved a long sigh, recalling the previous scenes.

Last year, in order to protect himself, he had to meet Prince Li Jiancheng in battle.

Brother, because of the throne and power, you have come to the point of life and death.
