No shortage of walls

In the 6th year of Zhengtong of the Song Dynasty, the wise and mighty Zhengtong Emperor is 1,800 years old!

This year has started to be a good year, the queen is pregnant again, and the nobles in the palace have a prince and a princess.

By May, Mr. Jin’s newspaper appeared. His Majesty’s new product is called grapes. They are blooming in bunches and are very beautiful. The emperor said that when the grapes are ripe in August, civil servants and generals of the fourth rank or above in the imperial court will be invited to eat the grapes.

According to His Majesty the Emperor, there are two kinds of grapes, one is purple and the other is green and white. It's as sweet as honey and fills your mouth with saliva. It is a fruit, which is ten times more delicious than the fruit of the Lu people and can be used to make fine wine. It can be grown by shearing skills. In the spring of the seventh year of Zhengtong, the emperor pruned the branches and planted them. On the day when they could be planted, the fourth-rank prefectures of the Song Dynasty and civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above could go to the palace to receive rewards for self-sowing. Even if the grape seeds first came to the Song Dynasty, would they still be planted? It is as delicious as the emperor said, but the emperor is not sure.

In addition, on May 5th, the emperor personally visited the monument of heroes that had been built and issued an imperial edict for the soldiers and political personnel who had died previously.

The orthodox emperor did not read a lot of articles like the previous dynasty. First, he went to the temple to kowtow, and personally burned incense and paper to Pan Gu's father and mother-in-law. Then he went to the Heroes Monument, and in the name of the emperor, he bestowed upon the heroes who had died millions of years before the Song Dynasty.. Then all the heroes who have served the country and the people since Zhengtong ascended the throne will be enshrined in the Heroes Monument and their names will be left in the Hall of History.

Because no names were left, Qingshi Hall only had a large book carved in stone, with only the words"Qingshi" on it. Done everything. The orthodox emperor personally kowtowed to the emperor and empress to thank him. Said:"From today onwards, everything before has been for the soldiers and political officials of the Song Dynasty. In the name of the emperor, I grant you and others to go to the world early to protect the happiness and peace of the people of the Song Dynasty forever, and to receive the incense and salary from the people forever. Later, he died in battle. The soldiers on the battlefield, the Ministry of National Security who sacrificed their lives for the country in the national crisis, and the political officials who devoted themselves to the people. With the approval of me and my future emperors and fathers, their souls can be enshrined in the Heroes Monument and their names will be left in the Qingshi Hall. Today, I dedicate the first incense to them. , The people of the Song Dynasty should never forget the heroes. My father, His Highness King Jing, is the owner of the Heroes Monument, and all loyal souls belong to my father." After offering incense in person, the people came close, and the incense burner in front of the Heroes Monument was filled with incense paper. countless.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he extended the matter in May. It is stated that the people of the Song Dynasty can offer incense at any time in the future, and the descendants and family members of previous heroes can also offer incense at any time. Only one copy of the newspaper was printed and sold for a penny. Not sold abroad, only sold domestically.

When the people saw him, they all kowtowed and gave thanks. It is related to the tens of millions of years of Song Dynasty history. Except for slaves and prostitutes, everyone may have ancestors who died for the country.

It is a pity for the common people. If Liu Chengwen had not been corrupt, he should be inscribed on the Heroes Monument now and receive the incense and salary from the people of Song Dynasty forever.

As soon as the newspaper came out, Prince Jing's old men went around burning paper and incense to inform their brothers who died early. Whether they died on the battlefield or at the hands of Zhao Dian, please let their souls return to the hero monument; perhaps King Jing could not know every soldier. But as long as you return to the Hero Monument, your officials will be there. Prince Jing, the orthodox emperor’s imperial edict has been issued. You should all return to the hero’s monument, leave your name in the Qingshi Hall, and receive the incense and salary from the people of the Song Dynasty forever. If they were Liu Guo, Long Quan, Lu Li, Cui Zheng's former subordinates. The heroic spirit followed King Jing's four lieutenants. At the end of the year, the four lieutenants went to the Hero's Monument to offer incense, and took their former subordinates back to have their souls enter the Hero's Monument.

Regarding the imperial edict, it has been said that there have been too many emperors and fathers in the past, and I don’t know who is the master. As of the date of the completion of the Heroes Monument, His Highness Prince Zunjing will be the master of the Heroes Monument. During his lifetime, he was the undefeated God of War in the South, and the Hero Monument was built by the legitimate emperor, the son of His Highness Prince Jing. It was an imperial decree issued by God, so he obeyed his father, and the people had no objections.

For a time, many people in the Song Dynasty went to the hero's monument to burn incense and paper. It concerns the Song Dynasty for thousands of years. It is difficult to enumerate the number of soldiers who died fighting for the country. Every family may have ancestors who died fighting for the country. Now that the orthodox emperor has given the souls of all past heroes to the hero monument in the name of the emperor, it is natural to worship them. Offer a sacrifice. Meat is something you eat by yourself, just spend some time and incense paper.

For a time, the supply of incense paper in the Song Dynasty exceeded the demand. The news reached the palace, and the newspaper issued an extra issue and issued an imperial edict. Talking about the Song Dynasty that lasted for thousands of years, it should be said that every household has heroes who died in battle. It is appropriate to burn paper and incense to the ancestors. However, those who sell incense and paper cannot increase the price by more than 20% of the original price. If the price rises above 20%, it will be regarded as taking advantage of the hero's descendants to make huge profits on behalf of the hero, and the huge profits will be confiscated and sentenced to half a year as a labor prisoner.

The hero has died fighting for the country, and merchants cannot let the descendants of the hero spend more money because of this.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the people worshiped him again.

This is true. The hero died in battle for the descendants of the Song Dynasty. If the merchant now makes the descendants of the hero spend more money and sells it several times more expensive, is it worthy of the hero?

In June, the Ministry of National Security sent people to Donghu to investigate people in the north of Donghu, and two of them came back. Because the matter was so important, Liu Gongquan couldn’t say anything! Please ask for an edict to meet the Holy Spirit.

Song Xing is right.
