Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Liu Yilong paused after reading this. He felt a surge of blood in his chest. Although he was a captain, he knew very well that he was not much different from the ordinary soldiers below. He was the same as them. Likewise, he is also one of them.

From ancient times to the present, no one has said a word for these ordinary soldiers, let alone elevated them to such a high position!

The soldiers below were even more silent, everyone was waiting, they wanted to see what else His Royal Highness King Qin had to say.

"At the end of the former dynasty, the people all over the world were living in dire straits; when the Turks invaded the frontier, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes; in Tuyuhun, they plundered and plundered the people of Tang Dynasty every now and then. It was them, thousands of ordinary soldiers, who threw their heads , sprinkled blood, put down the hoe in his hand, left the old lady at home, kissed his wife goodbye, hugged his child goodbye, and resolutely embarked on the road of fighting for the country."

"They were someone else's son, husband, brother, father, but they never complained, never flinched."

"They paid an unimaginable price. They didn't ask for high officials and high salaries, and they didn't ask for fame and history. They just wanted to allow their families to live a peaceful and peaceful life. That's all. Now, my Tang Dynasty is creating an eternal life. Unprecedented prosperity, but in such a prosperous age, who is the hero who saves the world? Not my grandfather, not my father, our Tang royal family, all the officials in the court, and the aristocratic families are all not, those soldiers who can no longer see the blue sky yes!"

"Now, my father has decided to build the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery in all the states of the Tang Dynasty to bury those heroes who sacrificed for the country! Although their bodies will be reduced to ashes in the fire, their spirits will be destroyed. Eternal! Their faith will be transformed into heroic spirits who will protect the people of Tang Dynasty from generation to generation!"

"From now on, if one day the barbarians from all over the world invade my Datang, they will be the sharp blades of Datang! If one day, natural disasters come to my Datang, they will be the patron saints of Datang! If one day, Datang declines and falls into darkness , then they are the last flames of Datang!"

"From today onwards, Datang will set up a flag with black Tang characters on a red background as its national flag. The bright red flag means that the national flag of Datang is dyed red by the blood of countless martyrs, because it is these countless sacrificed martyrs who made our country The immortal monument of the Tang Dynasty! It is they who poured their blood into my peaceful life in the Tang Dynasty today!"

"Finally, may all the martyrs who died be immortal, and may their spirits have no borders with the country!"

Liu Yilong almost shouted out the last four words.

"Without borders!"

"Borderless to the country!" Countless soldiers also shouted these four words with enthusiasm, and everyone felt a surge of enthusiasm in their hearts. His Highness's words made everyone have an urge to die for their confidants!

"Set up the national flag!" Liu Yilong waited for everyone to calm down, and waved directly. Not far away, a 12-meter-long straight wooden flagpole that had been prepared was carried towards here.

Next to the general point platform, the position of the flagpole has already been prepared, and these soldiers quickly erected the entire flagpole directly.

Then a red flag was carried and walked here. The soldiers in charge of raising the flag had obviously practiced it, and expertly tied the flag to the rope of the flagpole.

When he was ready, Liu Yilong shouted loudly: "Beat the drums! Salute!"

The dull drum sounded, and all the soldiers gave the Tang Dynasty military salute to the flag with a swish.

The soldiers in charge of raising the flag skillfully pulled the rope that raised the flag, and the bright red flag soon began to rise as the soldiers raised their hands.

When it rose to a high altitude, the bright red flag fluttered and fluttered in the wind under the howling northwest wind.

In the center of the flag, which is 1.6 meters long and [-] meters wide, a black Chinese character "Tang" keeps shining.

At almost the same moment, all the gates of Chang'an City, in front of the towers on the city wall, in the center of Suzaku Square, and on the school grounds outside Chang'an City, besides the army's banners, the national flags of the Tang Dynasty were flying continuously. rise.

This will be the first officially determined national flag in ancient times, and it also means a manifestation of the awakening of a country's sovereignty consciousness.

……

When the national flag was raised in Chang'an City, in a village about [-] miles away from Chang'an, the team of Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty had already reached the outskirts of the village. The people in the village didn't even know that Changle was coming. Received news.

Today's Changle set off early in the morning. Although it was the first time to ride a horse for [-] miles, Changle didn't feel tired, but felt an inexplicable responsibility on her body.

When the long team arrived in the village, it still alarmed the villagers.

At first, the people in the village were taken aback. After all, they are just an ordinary village. Except for some shopkeepers, no outsiders would come here at all, even though it is very close to Chang'an City.

But now a group of cavalry came here. If it wasn't for the flag in the cavalry, they would have thought that something had happened.

Even so, some people in the village came out immediately, and the village chief naturally rushed here immediately.

The village head is a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s. When he led most of the villagers out, Chang Le had already dismounted from his horse, and all the guards following Chang Le naturally did the same.

Seeing that the leader was such a beautiful and charming woman, the village head who took the lead did not dare to look too much, he just bowed down and saluted, "Chen Li, the head of Chen Dong Village, has seen this noble person before."

"Village Chief Chen Li, this is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Changle," Li Zheng, who was beside Changle, hurriedly said.

"Ah, my minister Chen Li has met Her Royal Highness Princess Changle." Chen Li was stunned for a moment, the eldest princess?Princess Changle?

"Mr. Chen is free of courtesy. I am here today to express condolences on behalf of my father and the Tang royal family. You don't need to be too polite. I wonder if Mr. Chen can take me to the home of Hero Wang Zhu?" Chang Le said softly.

Wangzhu hero?

Chen Li was stunned for a moment. Wang Zhu had been killed in battle for more than a year. He died in the conflict organized by Tuyuhun in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

"Of course you can. Your Highness, please come with me." Chen Li hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The people around are full of curiosity about Changle. After all, this is a princess, which is hardly seen at ordinary times. Looking at it now, Princess Changle really looks very good-looking!Many people were secretly watching around, Chen Li wanted to chase them away, but Chang Le stopped him, but first smiled and saluted the people around him.

"Fellow folks, although Yuanzheng has passed, please allow me, Li Lizhi, to represent my father, the Tang royal family, and my third elder brother King Qin to say to you all: Happy New Year!"

"I wish you all peace and happiness, every year and every year."

After speaking, Changle bowed to everyone.

When all the people heard this, their faces were filled with joy, and they hurriedly returned the gift awkwardly: "We also wish Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Qin, and Your Highness the Princess a happy new year, peace and happiness, and year after year."
