When it comes to discerning the direction of the wind and observing people's emotions, Mr. Jiang is indeed a good player.
Since your appearance may cause the displeasure of many veterans, you might as well just stand behind the scenes. Anyway, let Xu Shanxin, a person who has made great achievements, come forward to preside over it, so you can't have any objections anymore, right?
Li Xingchen nodded slightly to Xu Shanxin, indicating that it was time to start.
Xu Shanxin took a deep breath. It was an honor for him to be able to stand here today.
On the table in front of Li Xingchen, there are five tablets placed on two levels. There are three on the upper level. The middle one says "Haotian", which represents heaven. The sky is long and controls life and death in the world.
Joys and sorrows also control countless fates.
On both sides of the Haotian tablet, one is the seat of the Yellow Emperor and the other is the seat of the Yan Emperor.
Yanhuang, this has been recognized as the origin of China from the Qin and Han Dynasties to today. Placing the tablets of Huangdi and Yandi here is naturally to comfort these two founders of China. Today, the people of China have finally experienced three hundred years of blood.
After a bitter battle with fire, all the barbarians who have ravaged them and the land that has been inherited for thousands of years will be driven out or eliminated, so that the banner of China can once again spread to every corner of China.
Of course, this expulsion and elimination does not actually mean that all the barbarians disappear from the territory of China. This is also unrealistic.
In Li Xingchen's view, when the Hu people have been completely assimilated, it is actually no different from wiping out all these Hu people. For example, the Xianbei people, when they also start to regard themselves as descendants of the Chinese, when they have forgotten
After they have developed their own language and writing, and after they no longer remember the gods and Buddhas that their ancestors once believed in on the grasslands, what is the difference between them and the Chinese?
Assimilation is originally one of the ethnic specialties of the Chinese nation - if this is considered "one", then Li Xingchen thinks that the only one that can be compared with it is "growing vegetables".
In fact, since the rise of China in the Yellow River Basin, the process of the entire nation becoming stronger has been a process of continuous integration with other tribes and then with other countries. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor only merged into one after a war broke out.
.
Now China is gradually integrating the Ba people, Nanman, Xianbei and other ethnic groups into its own blood. In fact, it is also a process of ethnic integration. Although this process was originally full of tragedy and blood, it is undeniable that
, with the addition of these ethnic groups, China's culture has become more diversified, the land that China can directly govern has become broader, and the Chinese nation is destined to become more powerful, tenacious and tolerant. This may be the reason
One of the reasons why this nation has been able to endure for thousands of years.
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were able to abandon their prejudices and develop together, which resulted in today's descendants of the Yan and Huang emperors. Therefore, Li Xinchen believed that the spirits of these two ancestors of China were still very willing to see China take such a step under the leadership of Li Xinchen.
After all, if a nation wants to develop, it must expand its territory and increase its population. This is an objective law that no one can change.
This great country is not so easy to win, nor is it so easy to hold firmly.
In the row below this row, there are two tablets. The one on the left is for Zun, and the one on the left is for Li Cheng. Li Cheng has been posthumously named Emperor Yuan.
Although he is not Li Xinchen's biological father, he did have a kindness in raising Li Xinchen and saved his life twice, so he is certainly worthy of it. As for Li Xinchen's possible biological father Yang Min, as the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, his identity is sensitive after all.
And in the final analysis, he dedicated himself to the Northern Qi Dynasty and died. And the Northern Qi Dynasty is not a good thing in the propaganda of the Han Dynasty. Once it is said that Yang Min is the father of His Majesty and the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, then
But there is no way to explain why the ancestors of the Han Dynasty served the Xianbei people wholeheartedly.
It is even possible that various rumors will appear in the streets, directly questioning Li Xingchen's true identity, and wondering whether he is a Xianbei person.
In order to avoid so much trouble, hiding this fact directly seems to be the best choice.
Moreover, the Hongnong Yang family is now closely integrated with the royal family and dignitaries in the court through marriage, so they are not eager for a confirmed royal identity. Because that often means that there will definitely be accusations against Hongnong Yang.
Is it a good thing for the Hongnong Yang family that they are vassals of wealth?
not necessarily.
In fact, as a later person, Li Xingchen knew very well that in history, Yang Jian, as a member of the Hongnong Yang family who had lived in poverty for countless generations - if this is true - forcefully wanted to turn the Hongnong Yang family into an imperial relative.
He was a relative of the country, in order to show that he was born in Miaohong, and try his best to win over the Yang family nobles of Hongnong represented by Yang Su.
But what is the final result?
Yang Jian could not stop future generations from still laughing at his far-fetched ideas on this matter, and the demise of the Sui Dynasty was also inseparable from the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, Yang Su's son and nominal relative of the emperor, so what Yang Jian did was nothing more than
It just left a laughing stock for future generations.
Since it is not necessary, Li Xingchen will naturally not do it.
After all, in Li Xingchen's heart, it was actually Li Cheng who really nurtured him.
The last time the Han Dynasty crossed the Huai River, Li Xinchen did not have time to go to Luliang to collect Li Cheng's bones in order to preside over the war on the Ying River. He could only hand over this task to his sister out of regret.
Li Lian'er has searched for everyone's bones in the cave, but unfortunately they can no longer be identified. Moreover, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who originally searched and suppressed the mountain forest deeply hated them because they also paid a high price, so many of the bones have been destroyed.
When the damage was very obvious, Li Lian'er could only collect all the bones and transport them to Luoyang.
Most of the people in the village were refugees who went south during the war in the north, so it would have been more appropriate to be buried in the north. For Li Cheng and others, following Chen Qingzhi's completion of the Battle of Luoyang was both a milestone in Chinese military history
This stroke of genius was also the glory and pride of their lives, so they would have no regrets burying these veterans outside Luoyang City.
Their souls in heaven will be filled with emotion when they see this land where they once fought bloody battles and carved a glorious name.
As for the tablet of Emperor Li Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty, there is the tablet of "Heroes and Martyrs of the Han Dynasty".
As the name suggests, this is to commemorate all the soldiers who have died in battles since the founding of the Han Dynasty to this day.
When Li Xingchen wanted to erect this memorial tablet, many people opposed it at first.
There is no other reason. In past dynasties, sacrifices were made to the heaven and earth and then to the ancestors of the dynasty. Is there any reason for the emperor to sacrifice to the common people?
