Chapter 194

The drizzle is still falling.

At this time, Qingzhou City is like a silent movie, which makes people feel suffocated.

It's a kind of anger that's piling up in the bottom of my heart.

From the eyes of the common people, Xiao Ming saw this kind of anger. Before, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.

Three years ago, they suffered from the invasion of barbarians and the cruel exploitation of them by the haos who colluded with foreign enemies. The common people have been suffering these pains silently. Now this kind of anger has finally erupted into hatred for barbarians and haos.

Because of this, the people who got rid of their shackles would firmly support him to fight against the powerful families and the barbarians.

At the same time, he also understood that if he wanted to survive in this world, he could only rely on the people on the fiefdom.

For him, only the monarchy based on the common people's recognition is the most stable monarchy, otherwise, he will only be played by these powerful families.

After all, the grand family of Dayu has a long history. Compared with him, these people are good at playing with power. However, he lacks this kind of events and has no advantage at all.

However, Xiao Ming is not a fool either. It's a fool's work to compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths. His advantage lies only in his leading scientific and technological knowledge of this era.

That's what he's going to do next.

In the face of absolute power, all intrigues are paper tigers.

The barrel of the gun will tell his enemy that the bullet is much harder than the tongue.

Of course, Xiao Ming proposed the funeral of the dead soldiers, and he also proposed the promotion of the four officers with Niu Zhen.

For him, a soldier's funeral is not only a respect for the dead soldiers, but also a necessity to shape the soul of the army.

Ma Ge's body is solemn and stirring, but it's too desolate, which can comfort their hearts.

In one morning, the remains of thousands of soldiers were buried in the earth, and the Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses in the Cangzhou war.

If the barbarians didn't choose to retreat at that time, he couldn't be sure whether Cangzhou City could hold.

The battle of guarding the city was a gamble for him and for the common people on the fiefdom.

But fortunately, they won in the end.

This campaign gave them breathing time, and the enemy's attack on Cangzhou will pay a heavier price later.

"Back to camp!"

At the end of the funeral, Niu Zhen yelled, and Qingzhou army turned around neatly and left the cemetery slowly.

Lu Fei's eyes were slightly red. He didn't cry in Cangzhou. He didn't cry when he returned to Qingzhou, but he cried at today's funeral.

He looked at Xiao Ming and said, "thank you for your kindness. Brothers on the way to huangquan have won this honor and can walk safely."

"This is the treatment they should get, and the soldiers who will die for their country in the future should be remembered." Xiao Ming said.

The funeral was not only unexpected to Pang Yukun, but also unexpected to Niu Zhen and others.

Since ancient times, there have been no funerals for ordinary soldiers, and Xiao Ming, the king of Qi, carried the coffin himself. If this is spread out, it will inevitably cause numerous criticisms.

But for the people, for the soldiers, their hearts are warm, and this is enough for Xiao Ming.

Luo Xin's eyes are deep. In recent months, Xiao Ming has given him too many accidents.

This time, it was an accident in an accident. He had to admit that in the eyes of the nobility, the lives of the common people were nothing but cheap, and the lives of the soldiers were the same.

In a war, the generals are always fighting for credit, and there are several relations between the life and death of the soldiers. On the battlefield outside the Great Wall, there are still many unknown soldiers.

Xiao Ming not only brought back the bodies of all the dead soldiers, but also buried them collectively, which was a kind of honor for all the soldiers.

Looking back at the monument standing in the middle of the mausoleum, the four walked out of the mausoleum.

Niu Zhen said at this time: "Your Highness, the Cangzhou victory should be passed on to Chang'an now. Next, your majesty will surely pass on your highness to Chang'an for a reward."

"I think it's better for your highness not to go. His Highness has made great contributions this time. Other princes must be jealous. If it's bad for your highness at this time, we can't reach it." Luffy shook his head.

Luo Xin said: "only if the imperial edict arrives, you can't help but your highness doesn't go. Otherwise, the emperor will be angry. Other princes and ministers have more reasons to criticize your highness, and even say that your Highness has a bad heart. These courtiers have a lot of playful hearts."

Niu Zhen nodded. After all, Luo Xin knew more about the officialdom than Lu Fei. He said, "Luo Xin's words are good. Your Highness has to go now. I'll stay in Qingzhou. You two and your highness will go to Beijing to get a reward."

"Why are we two? The old general has made the first contribution this time." Said Luffy.

Niu Zhen showed a wry smile, which was seen by Xiao Ming. He said: "old general, I can't put off this trip to Chang'an. My mother's letter also asked me to go back. This time, I will certainly plead with my father for the old general and get rid of the charges on him.""No need." Niu Zhen said: "it's actually good. It's easy and comfortable in Qingzhou. If I don't have this charge, those ministers will urge the emperor to let me go back to the imperial army. It will be difficult to do at that time."

Xiao Ming thinks about it. It seems that this is also the truth. Niu Zhen knows more about the officialdom of the state of Chongqing than he does. He can't help nodding.

Niu Zhen then said, "Your Highness, when you go to Chang'an this time, for the sake of safety, please take all the 1000 cavalry of the Qingzhou army with you. You are not afraid of anything but 10000."

In fact, Xiao Ming doesn't want to go back to Chang'an either. For him, it's a place full of smoke, and the interweaving of power is too complicated.

And it seems that he has few people to miss.

However, in her letter, she told him that before the war of Cangzhou, Xiao Wenxuan promised that if he would keep Cangzhou City, he would propose marriage to the Fei family and betroth Fijian's youngest daughter, Fei yue'er, to him.

Xiao Ming has been single in his previous life, and no one has ever arranged for him to get married.

Now Princess Zhen found him a daughter-in-law, which made him feel uneasy. After all, he had never seen Fei yue'er.

Generally speaking, we will not meet before entering the bridal chamber.

If he married a female yecha, he would be sad for the rest of his life.

As for Fei yue'er's family, he didn't have any special idea, but he also knew that it was the idea that the princess arranged for his daughter.

But Xiao Ming always thought that hard work, self-reliance, relying on others will eventually fall.

Therefore, he didn't care about the family background of the Fei family.

With a sigh, Xiao Ming is helpless. After all, he lives in this era. Some things can be changed, but some things have to do as the Romans do.

It's hard to change the marriage affairs, parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Even today, many people are forced to go on blind dates by their parents.
