Chapter 344: Hall of Heroes
In the early November of the seventh year of Taichu.
The world finally fell into a short period of peace.
Zhao Changqing led all the soldiers back to Beijing, including Chen and Xiao.
Just in case, he left all the army in the territory of Jin State and brought only 10,000 soldiers back to Beijing and returned to the court.
In any case, the battles that took place in Jin State have caused the Great Wei to lose six counties and one state.
This loss is not small.
But fortunately, the territory of the Chu State once completely belonged to the Great Wei.
The war that lasted for two years has made Wei the largest country on this land, with a vast territory and the largest in the world.
In short, Wei State made a lot of profit in this battle.
The people in Luoyang City, Wei State, were very excited to learn that the emperor was about to return to the court today.
Because it is His Majesty the Emperor today that the four words "The People of Wei" have become the tokens for the whole world. With one country fighting against six countries, they have gained so much benefit. Since history, Qin Shihuang has reached this level, right?
These ordinary people from the Wei Kingdom went from their heart to the official road outside the capital to welcome His Majesty the Emperor.
Unexpectedly, the officials and soldiers in Luoyang City did not stop the people from doing this spontaneous behavior.
In the past, it is necessary to stop it.
After all, they are afraid that there will be killers and other people hidden in the people's team.
This is also something Zhao Changqing instructed. In the world, except for the master of the mysterious force, who can assassinate him at this time?
In other words, unless you are a master in the realm of heaven and man, it is more difficult to assassinate Zhao Changqing than climbing to heaven.
The people stood on both sides of the official road, and some officers and soldiers maintained order on the scene, but no chaos occurred.
But Zhao Changqing's dragon chariot stayed on the official road for a moment.
He is watching these people who love him.
Sometimes he really doesn't understand that he has become as stupid as possible in the government affairs. Why do these ordinary people still support him so much?
He can't figure it out.
In fact, it was because he upgraded the national dignity of the people of Wei.
The one sitting in the dragon chariot with him was Zhuge Liang.
Zhao Changqing looked at the cheering people outside the dragon chariot and said to Zhuge Liang, "Look at these simple people, are their faces much better than those of some ministers in the court?"
Zhao Changqing usually sees some flattering faces. Seeing the people's real and heartfelt side, he suddenly feels sighing and just feels touched.
But in Zhuge Liang's mind, things were not that simple.
He pursed his lips and said, "It is normal for Your Majesty to be kind and righteous, and patriotism, and it is normal for the people to love it. Most ministers in the court are afraid of Your Majesty's power, which is also normal."
Zhao Changqing snorted and stopped talking.
Zhuge Liang must be the first to achieve this battle in Jin State.
The matter of saving Chen and Xiao will surely become a good story and will be passed down from generation to generation on the land of Wei.
After returning to the imperial palace in the capital, Zhao Changqing summoned all civil and military officials in Chengde Hall.
He didn't go to rest, and he summoned his ministers like this, so he had something to say.
The civil and military officials only heard His Majesty say, "I plan to build two palaces in the capital, named "Wenying Hall" and "Wuhun Hall". As long as the ministers who sacrificed their lives for the country can enjoy the two halls for future generations to burn incense and worship from generation to generation."
The civil and military officials did not object to this decree.
The two halls should be built so that the loyal soul who sacrificed his life for the country can have a place to live. This is the case.
Seeing that the ministers had no doubts, Zhao Changqing continued, "In this Wenying Hall, the first tablet is dedicated to Li Ziyuan, and as for the Wuhun Hall, the first tablet is dedicated to Lao Guogong Cao, do you have any opinions?"
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers immediately discussed it.
Everyone has their own arguments.
According to Your Majesty's opinion, it is to worship in the two halls in the order of their deaths.
No one has any disputes about the old Duke Cao of the Wuhun Palace.
After all, before his death, Duke Cao made plans to defeat the Chu army, laying the foundation for the later occupation of Jin and pacifying Chu. It is natural that he would be in the first position.
But the first tablet in Wenying Hall is dedicated to Li Ziyuan, which makes people feel worthy of discussion.
Since the establishment of the two halls, according to Your Majesty's wishes, it is also necessary for the civil and military officials of the present to enjoy the two halls and enjoy the incense of the Great Wei Dynasty after their death, but this Li Ziyuan...
As a famous prime minister of a generation, Li Ziyuan does have the capital to leave his name in history.
But it’s just that it’s a contribution to the present, how can it be replaced by the first place in Wenying Hall?
This is a bit unreasonable.
But for a moment, Zhao Changqing couldn't think of any suitable candidate who could be the first tablet in Wenying Hall.
Everyone argued over and over again, but no final candidate was found.
It was Zhao Changqing who decided to enshrine "Li Ziyuan" in Wenying Hall.
This is also the biggest reason why Li Ziyuan was named god by later generations.
An existence that can be as famous as Duke Cao, must be a big shot.
I have to say that Li Ziyuan's ability to govern the country was slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang, but who made him die early?
Things are settled.
In addition to the two halls, Zhao Changqing also said something, saying: "During the Battle of Jin State, I repelled the Liang army thanks to the help of an old general, but the old general sacrificed his life for the country. Before the old general's lifetime, I promised him to give him a posthumous title. This person was named Qi Dingyuan, and was the first former general under General Xiao Yuming. Everyone gathered their thoughts and see what kind of posthumous title should be given to the old general."
As soon as Zhao Changqing finished speaking, a historian stood up and told the life of the old general.
He joined the army at the age of twelve, killed the enemy in the same year, and saved the heads of enemy generals the following year...
Starting from the grassroots level, we have achieved the position of former general step by step.
It can be said that he has worked hard and made great contributions.
However, the posthumous title given to the old general was a difficult task for civil and military officials.
According to Your Majesty, this posthumous title cannot be given too low.
However, a mere former general, a third-rank official, had not led the victory of the major battle alone, and could not give it too high, otherwise it would not conform to the etiquette system.
This made the ministers not know what to do for a moment.
Zhao Changqing is not in a hurry, he has time.
Even Zhuge Liang was frowning and thinking.
This made Zhao Changqing a little confused. How difficult could it be to just have a posthumous title?
In the end, Zhuge Liang spoke, "Your Majesty, why not give the posthumous title of 'Wu', what do you think?"
"Wu?" Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "Single Posthumous?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "The word "wu" is enough to interpret too much."
As we all know, Wei has always regarded double posthumous posthumous, but as for single posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous
Is it appropriate to have a single posthumous title of "Wu"?
Is it too casual to say that the posthumous title etiquette system of Wei State?
Seeing that His Majesty was hesitant, Zhuge Liang continued to speak: "Go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as a martial art, be loyal to the country as a martial art, and marching and fighting as a martial art, there is no more suitable word for martial arts."
When the ministers heard this, they felt it was appropriate.
Wu, single posthumous posthumous, neither high nor low.
Just right!
The highest posthumous title of military general is Zhongwu.
The single posthumous name Wu is more in line with Your Majesty's expectations. Anyway, it is definitely not suitable to give Zhongwu, and Qi Dingyuan is not qualified.
In this way, after a fierce discussion, Zhao Changqing followed Zhuge Liang's advice and gave Qi Dingyuan the posthumous title of "Wu".
Later generations also wrote a legendary story based on Qi Dingyuan's life.
After all, from a soldier to a general's position, this is in line with the legendary story that the public wants to hear.
But the more he got later, the more he was mythized.
He was known as Duke Qiwu and Master Qiwu.
I am well-equipped with the Martial Spirit Hall and worshipped by the Great Wei incense.
