I don’t know if it’s a matter of choice, or because all the heroes and martyrs are buried here. Not only is Taiyuan not as gloomy as ordinary cemeteries, but it is full of life.
Walking in the cemetery, there was no chilling feeling, only deep shock! I was shocked by the rows of heroes who died fighting for the Qin Dynasty.
In Taiyuan, graves and stone tablets are arranged neatly, just like strong soldiers standing on the battlefield, waiting for the general to order troops, and they can fight again with them.
The words engraved on the stone tablet are also different from ordinary tombs. There is no family on it, only the name of the person, official position, and the year and month in which war he died. The person who set up the monument is not a descendant of the family, but Da Qin!
That's right, these people were all buried by the state. All the heroes who died in the battlefield were personally ordered by the emperor to erect monuments to show the importance of the royal family and to let the world see how much the royal family cared about those who sacrificed their lives for this country.
However, the idea is beautiful, but it is not so easy to implement it. At least the later emperors did not pay much attention to Taiyuan, because except for the emperor who decreed the establishment of Taiyuan, no second emperor of the Qin Dynasty set foot in Taiyuan until the Qin Dynasty.
Come here quietly.
The arrival of Qin Jiyan brought Taiyuan back to the public, and also made the generals feel that the emperor did not value culture over military affairs, but the emperor still valued them.
The few generals following Qin Jiyan secretly looked at Qin Jiyan from time to time, and secretly searched for the graves of their family members in the tombs. They said to them silently in their hearts: Father (eldest brother\grandfather), the emperor is here to see you.
Your Majesty, the Emperor still remembers you, and the Emperor has not forgotten you.
Almost no family of the generals of the Qin Dynasty had relatives buried there, and the Feng family was the most common among them. As soon as General Feng entered Taiyuan, he lost control of his emotions. One group touched a stone tablet, and the other looked at the tomb.
He murmured the name of the owner of the tomb.
Although he would come to pay homage every year during the Qingming Festival, Winter Solstice and the anniversary of their death, he never came with the emperor. The emperor had never come to see these generals who died fighting for the Qin Dynasty.
"Old general, is this the tomb of the founding general?" Qin Jiyan stood in front of the tomb and asked, pointing to the unclear words on it.
Over time, exposed to wind and rain, the words on the stone tablet are no longer so clear.
"If you go back to the emperor, yes. This is the tomb of my ancestor of the Feng family." All the ten marshals who founded the country are buried in Taiyuan. However, among the families of the ten marshals, only the Feng family is left. The other nine families are all buried because of this or
For that reason, it disappeared from Da Qin.
Qin Jiyan nodded solemnly and said, "Bring me some incense, candles, paper money, I want to pay homage to the Generalissimo."
"Your Majesty has great love, and I thank you for your great love, Your Majesty." General Feng knelt down with a plop, and others also knelt down one after another, expressing their "mercy" and "love" to the Emperor.
Qin Jiyan didn't say anything, only bowed solemnly three times, then put the incense on the grave. After a moment of silence, he turned around and said, "It's okay if I'm not here. When I come, I will naturally pay tribute to these generals who sacrificed their lives for the Qin Dynasty."
A stick of incense.”
Taiyuan has buried too many people who sacrificed their lives for this country. Forget it if he didn't come. When he comes, he will naturally pay homage to them one by one to show the emperor's benevolence.
"Your Majesty, is this... not good?" At this time, the civil servants did not dare to speak out, and the generals had to come out to persuade.
Regarding Qin Jiyan's move, the accompanying ministers were both happy and worried. They were happy that the emperor remembered these people, they were happy that the emperor remembered the people who had contributed to the Qin Dynasty, and they were happy that their master was not a heartless person, but...
They were also worried about Qin Jiyan's safety.
The founding of the Qin Dynasty was not long, but it lasted for two or three hundred years. Over the years, countless generals died in battles, and there were also many generals who were qualified to be buried in Taiyuan. There are a total of 366 tombs in Taiyuan. Qin
Jiyan has to worship one by one, even if he stays in front of a grave for half a stick of incense, it will take an hour.
It was a rare sunny day today, but it was the end of winter, and the days were short and the nights were long. By the time Qin Jiyan finished worshiping, it would be dark when they returned to Beijing. And Qin Jiyan was worshiping here, so how could they dare?
Surrounded Feng Yunji's tomb to watch the results of the bone test?
After the military commander spoke, the civil servant dared to persuade, "Your Majesty, there is still a quarter of an hour before the auspicious time. If we miss the auspicious time, I am afraid it is not appropriate to open the coffin today." They came to verify the relationship between Feng Yao and the Feng family today, not to offer sacrifices.
Yes, the emperor wants to worship, but which day can’t be done?
"I leave it to you to open the coffin and verify General Feng Yao's life experience. I believe in you." Qin Jiyan waved his hand to express that he would not interfere with the bone test.
"But..." Feng Shoufu frowned and wanted to persuade him, but he heard Qin Ji say: "What happened today was due to my negligence. But since I'm here, I have to pay homage to the generals. They are our Great Qin
The hero."
Speaking of which, what can you do? Besides, it’s better to separate the two parties. This can also save time, right?
The persuasion by Feng Shoufu, General Feng and others was ineffective, so they had no choice but to do as Qin Jiyan said, leading the people from Qin Tianjian to Feng Yunji's cemetery to choose the location for opening the coffin.
Feng Yao and his guards naturally wanted to go with the others, but he deliberately stayed at the end. Before leaving, he looked back at Qin Jiyan and stretched out his hand to point at his throat.
Qin Jiyan's face was expressionless and he nodded slightly. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would not have noticed it.
Feng Yao and his party went to open the coffin and drop the bones to check the marriage, while Qin Jiyan continued to pay homage to the heroes here.
Although Qin Jiyan's move was made on a whim, every time he bowed he was sincere and there was absolutely no intention of perfunctory.
No matter what his imperial grandfather, great-grandfather, and previous generations of emperors thought, he truly respected these generals who died on the battlefield.
These people may have their own selfish motives and may have made mistakes, but they did sacrifice their lives for this country, and for this alone they deserve his respect.
The process of worshiping went smoothly, without any supernatural incident, and the process of opening the coffin was also very smooth. The coffin was even carried out without much effort. This made several ministers of Qin Tian Jian marvel and said, "Yes."
General Yunji appeared.
You know, this is not just the first time for them to open a coffin. In the past, when they opened a coffin, they often encountered problems such as the coffin being soaked in water and rotting due to age, or the coffin becoming too heavy to lift out, and the coffin could not be opened. This time it went smoothly.
Extraordinary.
When General Feng heard this, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. According to his opinion, he was unwilling to disturb Yun Ji. If it weren't for Feng Yao, he would not be willing to dig out his son's bones.
But just like that, when the coffin was carried out, General Feng's eyes were still red. He walked to the front uncontrollably, lay on the coffin, and shouted sadly, "Yunji!"
General Feng's mind kept flashing back to Feng Yunji's heroic figure, as well as the scene of him falling into a pool of blood after being pierced by thousands of arrows.
When he thought of the tragic death of his son, even the calm old general Feng couldn't help but burst into tears, "Yunji, my son..."
