Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 739 State Funeral
Great changes occurred in Kyoto, and the prince supervised the country.
The emperor issued an edict to sin against himself and spread it to the world!
Countless news, like a tornado, swept through every corner of the Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone in the world was shocked. For a moment, everyone had different expressions.
All the dignitaries and dignitaries of the former princes' faction were trembling in fear, fearing that Zhou Zheng would launch a nationwide purge.
Those who had followed Zhou Zheng, especially the Xiangjun team, looked excited.
As for the people all over the world, they are more terrified!
Everyone knows that although King Qin's troops from all walks of life have returned the same way, there are also dark waves surging everywhere.
An invisible and huge feeling of oppression is quietly spreading throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Prince's order!"
"In three days, there will be a state funeral!"
An order came from the court, which surprised countless people.
In everyone's opinion, the first thing Zhou Zheng did when supervising the country was either to reward the right-hand men who followed him, or to bloodbath the court and eliminate dissidents!
But, none of this happened.
"What is a state funeral?!"
"Who is qualified to be given a state funeral by the court!?"
For a time, there were countless voices of doubt in the public, and even the civil and military officials in the court were a little confused.
Three days later!
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, due east, ten miles away, worships the Temple of Heaven!
The Great Zhou Dynasty valued literature over martial arts and focused on sacrifices.
Whenever there was a major national event, the emperor personally led the court to worship here.
In order to find God's blessing and good weather.
But this time, Emperor Tianjing did not appear. Zhou Zheng led hundreds of civil and military officials, including the emperor's relatives and relatives, to come here.
At the same time, countless people also swarmed in, gathering in the distance, staring at the altar.
The altar rises up and can be clearly seen from a distance of more than ten miles.
Built with bluestones, it exudes an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
At the top of the altar, there stand twelve round stone pillars, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, giving it a majestic and solemn feel.
There is a stone plate in the middle of the twelve circular stone pillars.
The stone plate is about half a person's height, and is surrounded by gems. From a distance, it looks like the bright moon and stars.
I saw the ministers lined up under the altar with solemn expressions on their faces.
Zhou Zheng slowly moved his steps towards the center of the altar.
When Zhou Zheng stood on the altar, he took a deep breath, then held the incense candle and bowed towards the sky.
A gust of breeze blew up the smoke, making Zhou Zheng's body feel a little blurry.
"Today, I will lead all the civil and military officials to hold a state funeral for my dead Zhou soldiers!"
Then, Zhou Zheng turned around, looked at the ministers and countless people below, and spoke in a deep voice.
Boom boom boom! ! !
As the words fell, bells and drums resounded throughout the world, and a solemn and solemn sound enveloped the world.
"Hold a state funeral for the dead Zhou soldiers!?"
At this moment, the originally curious people felt their minds buzzing, their pupils widened, and their eyes were full of incredible shock.
Who would have thought that Zhou Zheng's state funeral at this time was not for those dignitaries, nor for his biological mother, Concubine Xiao!
It was just for the countless dead soldiers of Great Zhou Dynasty! ?
In this world with strict hierarchies, soldiers charging into battle is nothing more than an ordinary thing in the eyes of those in power.
Not to mention generous burials, for those dead soldiers, they were just buried hastily, and there was not even any compensation for their families.
This is the sorrow of most soldiers!
But this time, Zhou Zheng did something that Zhou Zheng had never done before!
"We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have been a country for three hundred years. The health and prosperity we have today are not due to God's will, but to the countless soldiers who have defended our country over the years!"
"They sacrificed their lives and blood for our country and the people of Great Zhou, fought bravely, and fought for our country! They sacrificed their lives for the country and held on to every inch of the land, and they gained today's great mountains and rivers!"
"The long river of history is rolling, and countless Zhou soldiers have sacrificed their lives on this land!"
"They didn't leave their names, not even their bodies!"
"but!"
"They should not be forgotten, let alone abandoned!"
Zhou Zheng raised his head, stared with both eyes, and his words were filled with a sense of generosity.
His voice spread from the altar, and along with the sound of wind, floated in the ears of all the court officials, and also fell on the ears of countless onlookers.
In particular, the soldiers standing around the altar were extremely moved at this moment!
Three hundred years!
The world only knows how to let soldiers charge into battle at a critical moment of life and death!
The imperial court only knows how to let them fight to the death for its own interests!
But who ever cared about them? !
Who ever remembers them?
Only Zhou Zheng!
At this moment, when almost all the soldiers looked at Zhou Zheng, their eyes were full of shock and emotion.
"Today, I will hold a state funeral for all the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who have lived for three hundred years!"
"The reason is to tell the world that these soldiers are my good sons and daughters in Dazhou!"
"Their brilliance and bravery, their fearlessness and righteousness should be marked in the annals of history, and they should be remembered forever!"
"Their sacrifice and dedication will shine with the sun and the moon, and coexist with the rivers!"
Zhou Zheng looked around, his voice was sonorous and powerful!
Every word shocked the hearts of countless people, and even made the blood of those soldiers boil!
Bing clenched his fists, breathed rapidly, and was extremely excited. ,
For the first time, they felt dignity and the excitement of being valued by a country!
This is an affirmation of them, and it is also a recognition and respect for them!
If the people of the country respect soldiers and generals, why should they be afraid of sacrificing their lives for the country? !
However, all this is not over.
"The soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the centenary of the Great Wednesday!"
"play music!"
"A moment of silence!"
As the officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, there was joy and sorrow.
Zhou Zheng turned around, closed his eyes, and bowed deeply toward heaven and earth.
This bow makes people's hearts beat, their nerves tense, and their hearts shocked!
The prince of the prison country, pay silent tribute to those unknown soldiers who died? !
At this moment, although Zhou Zheng's body was curved, his image in the hearts of countless people and soldiers was extremely tall!
When the officials below saw this, their expressions were even more shocked.
This Zhou Zheng who didn’t even kneel down to worship Emperor Tianjing, this Zhou Zheng who didn’t give in to God’s will!
At this time, the reason for doing this was for those dead soldiers who had no status! ?
They are moved and their expressions are complicated!
after all!
The officials looked at each other, and then like Zhou Zheng, bowed deeply toward the altar!
Shocked!
Crazy!
incredible!
Countless people had wet eyes and choked up voices at this moment.
And those soldiers and generals were even trembling!
The altar is the place where sacrifices are made to heaven and earth!
At this time, it was used by Zhou Zheng to pay tribute to those soldiers who died fighting for the great Zhou Dynasty!
Boom boom boom! ! !
All the soldiers present lowered their heads and knelt down on one knee towards the altar!
It’s just that no one knows whether this kneeling is to commemorate the fallen comrades or to show respect to Zhou Zheng!
