Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Although Li Daozong and the others were stunned, but in this situation...they could only move on.

"To Mrs. Li and her family, salute!" Every time they walked a certain distance, a captain shouted loudly. Following the captain's roar, all the soldiers around saluted in unison.

The wife is a woman of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to an official position, so it is natural to call for an official position on this occasion.

At first Li Daozong and his family members were a little confused, but when they heard what the other party was shouting, everyone was very excited.

Mrs. Li who was following Li Daozong's eyes were even more red. She tried not to let her tears fall. The status of women in the Tang Dynasty was relatively high, but it was only compared to other dynasties. In the history books, even the names and birthdays of high-status women such as princesses and queens cannot be kept intact, which shows how big this invisible status gap is.

But at this moment, Mrs. Li has an unspeakable emotion in her chest, excitement?gratitude?incredible?Or wronged?It's just that she has never been so respected before, never!For this kind of respect is quite different from that of a servant.The complicated emotions made her almost cry, but she held back.

The three sons behind Li Daozong were equally excited, their faces turned red, and they wanted to go down and shout together with the soldiers, but there was an inexplicable emotion that made them straighten their waists immediately Stick, hold your head up and chest out without squinting.

The two daughters of Li Daozong at the back seem to be relatively calm. The older one is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one is only twelve or thirteen years old.

In this way, as they continued to advance, the voices of each captain continued to ring out, "Salute!"

"salute!"

Uniform movements, like waves, wave after wave.

Li Daozong and his family were shocked at the beginning, then excited, moved, and finally turned into an indescribable sense of honor.

Until they arrived in front of Li Ke, there were a thousand guards standing in front of Li Ke holding ceremonial knives. knife.

The sword is two feet and eight inches long, with a gold handle and a crystal pendant. It is used for killing enemies and guarding ceremonies. The imperial guards and the Qianniu Guard also have a two-handed ritual sword with a length of eight feet.

Li Ke's position is standing underground, and he didn't build a high platform, which is too obvious.

Li Daozong and his party stopped a long way away, then got off their horses.

After everyone dismounted, Li Daozong led his family to walk in front of Li Ke, and then he was about to kneel down to salute with a moved face. Li Ke had quick eyesight and quick hands, and took two quick steps to support Li Daozong without making him kneel go down.

"General Li, we don't welcome you today!" Li Ke stopped him from speaking.

"Your Highness...how can the minister and his family deserve such courtesy!" Li Daozong said with a face of shame.

"General Li, what you said is wrong." Li Ke said with a serious face.

After finishing speaking, Li Ke took a step back, and then said loudly: "All soldiers!"

As Li Ke's voice sounded, some of the surrounding soldiers naturally transmitted his voice to all directions.

"General Li just told me that how could he and his family deserve this courtesy! I told him that this statement is wrong! I am not only speaking to General Li, but also to all the soldiers. !"

"I know that when some of you received the order, you may also have doubts in your heart, why should you treat General Li's family with such courtesy!"

"Today I will tell you why!"

"General Li, including all the soldiers present, for the sake of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, you gave up your lives and came to this bitter and cold place in the Western Regions. To put it bluntly, it is to protect the Tang Dynasty forever! The people live and work in peace and contentment! To put it mildly, it is to protect your respective families behind you!"

"You are also other people's sons, husbands, and fathers! You came here at the risk of never seeing your parents, wives, and children again, so that they don't have to take such risks in the future!"

"You are the greatest people in the Tang Dynasty! Because of you, the people can live and work in peace, have clothes to wear, houses to live in, land to grow, food to eat, and books to read! But, have you ever thought about your family? !"

"They are at home, eagerly looking forward to the safe return of their sons, husbands, and fathers! They are afraid every day, for fear that what is waiting one day will not be your triumphant return, but a handful of dry bones, or even a piece of rags!"

"While terrified, they have to work hard to support their families."

"So, do you understand now?! Greatness belongs to you, but hardship belongs to them! Now tell me, military family members like General Li's family, do they deserve such courtesy?!"

Following Li Ke's words, all the soldiers' eyes turned red. Everyone has a family, and everyone misses their family.But at the moment when they are thinking about it, they also have a sense of pride, and their hearts are filled with glory!Because these words of His Highness represent a heavy responsibility!

When Li Ke asked the last question, almost everyone shouted loudly with all their strength: "It's worth it!"

"worth!"

"worth!"

The uniform roar resounded throughout the world!Li Daozong was also very excited, but at the moment he could only bear it silently.Mrs. Li and Li Daozong's concubine next to her were already in tears.

Li Ke didn't speak, but waited for all the soldiers' emotions to calm down before he raised his hand.

The scene immediately fell silent.

"Today, this ceremony is not for me, Li Ke, to show off, but I want to use this ceremony to tell all of you: the country, the country comes first, and then the family. The country is the embodiment of the family, and the family is the root of the country! I will not follow What are you talking about about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, because there is no need, you just need to know that you are fighting here to protect your family!"

"You have protected your family, which means that you have protected the country, and it also means that you are loyal to His Majesty."

"In the future, you may bleed, you may die in battle, shrouded in horse leather! Even after you die in battle, ordinary people in Datang will not know you! They will not know you either! But your blood donation will melt into the mountains and rivers of Datang! Tang's mountains will know you! Datang's rivers will know you! Datang will never forget you!"

"I hope you can remember my words today! Keep them firmly in your heart!"

"And I, Li Ke, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I can't do much, but I can't let you heroes of the Tang Dynasty bleed, and then make your family members cry! Therefore, as the protector of Xizhou, I sincerely respect all of you! Promise! I have ordered people to conduct surveys at the bottom of Huangshui Valley. It is very suitable for growing food, the land is also very fertile, and there is enough water for irrigation."

"So you soldiers who stayed on the frontier, as long as your family members are willing to move to Xizhou, I am willing to pay privately and send people to escort your family members to move here! Then, in the 100 mu of land allocated to each household, Yongye The number of fields will increase to 50 mu!"

"In addition, regardless of whether you want to move here or not, starting today, each soldier will receive 150 cash per month. After that, each soldier stationed at the border will increase by one year, and the monthly salary will increase by [-]%! This money It will be directly paid by the Tang royal family! The monthly payments of other generals and officials will also increase by [-]%!"

"I can't do much, but I hope that you heroes can have no worries while risking your life to defend your home and country!"
