After greeting the people, Chang Le went to Wang Zhu's house under the leadership of Chen Li.
Wang Zhu's family is in the village. When Chang Le came over, Wang Zhu's family had obviously been notified by the people in the village who came running, and several people stood at the door helplessly.
A woman wearing gray linen clothes, her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, the rough skin on her face made it impossible to tell that she was less than thirty years old. There were three children standing beside her, the oldest one was already fourteen. He is five years old and is a boy. The second child is about seven or eight years old and is also a boy. The youngest is a girl who is only about four years old.
There was an old couple next to her. They looked like they were sixty or seventy years old, but they were probably not that old. It was just their long-term work that made them look very old.
Several people stood here at a loss because they didn't know what the princess was doing here.
When he saw them, Chang Le was not in a calm mood. "Are you Wang Zhu's wife?" Chang Le asked softly.
"Reply to your Royal Highness Princess...I...I am." The woman said with some stuttering.
"I'm sorry, I should have come earlier." Changle said softly, "I came today to tell you... news." Changle originally wanted to use good news, but when she thought about it, this wording was not appropriate. .
"Your Highness, please speak." Wang Zhu's wife said.
"The first thing I did when I came here was to pay New Year's greetings to you on behalf of my father, my third brother King Qin, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty!" Chang Le said seriously.
"Ah?" Wang Zhu's wife was stunned, and Wang Zhu's parents next to her were also stunned. Her Majesty... Her Royal Highness the Princess paid New Year's greetings to them instead of... Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the Royal Family of the Tang Dynasty?
This... how dare they! Not to mention Wang Zhu's family, even the people listening around him were shocked.
"Your Highness... Your Highness." The family immediately became at a loss.
Changle did not hesitate at all, but bowed respectfully to their family.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty wouldn't dare." Wang Zhu's father stammered. He wanted to help but didn't dare, so he could only say with a blushing face.
"Old Master Wang, this gift is due. I came late! My father and my third brother said that this is what we should do, because Wang Zhu is the hero of the Tang Dynasty! He died for the country on the border of the Tang Dynasty. , to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty from being plundered by the enemy, he will always be the hero of the Tang Dynasty." Chang Le said seriously.
Mentioning Wang Zhu, a trace of sadness flashed across the faces of his family members. After more than a year, they have become accustomed to the fact that people cannot be resurrected and life must go on. But they didn't expect that His Majesty, His Highness King Qin would ask His Highness the Princess to come and pay them New Year's greetings!
"Old Master Wang, fellow countrymen!" Changle stood up straight and said something to Wang Zhu's family first, then turned to the people in all directions and said loudly, "My father said that Wang Zhu was a hero. He died. is more important than Mount Tai! Because of his protection, we people living in the Tang Dynasty can be so stable. Although he died on the battlefield, he will always live in the hearts of all of us."
"If the Tang Dynasty didn't have thousands of heroes like Wang Zhu, our lives wouldn't be so stable!"
"So, my third brother King Qin proposed that my father made a decision not long ago that the Tang Dynasty will build the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery with royal investment! The ashes of heroes like Wang Zhu will be taken from the Tang Dynasty by soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Bring him back to the border! Then he will be buried forever in the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery!"
"At the beginning of every year, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will lead the civil and military officials to worship heroes like Wang Zhu!"
"They will live in the hearts of all of us forever! Although their bones have been burned in the fire, their spirits will last forever! Their spirits will turn into heroic spirits to protect our Tang Dynasty forever!"
As Chang Le told the story, Wang Zhu's family was already in tears. Only the youngest girl didn't know what happened and just kept wiping her mother's tears. Her own eye circles were a little red, but she didn't know why the adults were crying.
They were sad and angry, but also excited. Although Wang Zhu died, His Majesty has not forgotten him, and His Highness King Qin has not forgotten him. Even the Tang Dynasty will bring his ashes back and bury him in the National Martyrs Cemetery to enjoy worship forever!
What an honor!
"Your Highness, Wang Zhu...he...he is just an ordinary soldier." Wang Zhu's father wanted to be humble, but he didn't know where to start.
Changle's eye circles were also red. She held back tears, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "No, Mr. Wang! He is worth it! Although he is just an ordinary soldier, my third brother said, Even if all the generals of the Tang Dynasty were comparable to the champion Hou Huo Qubing and the Marquis of Huaiyin Han Xin, they would still be of little use if there were not thousands of ordinary soldiers like Wang Zhu."
"My third brother said that it was countless ordinary soldiers like Wang Zhu who held up the backbone of the Tang Dynasty! They are worth it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness the King of Qin. Thank you, Your Highness the Princess. I would like to thank you on behalf of Wang Zhu!" Wang Zhu's father said with tears streaming down his face. As he spoke, he knelt down directly.
Changle hurriedly stepped forward, not shying away from suspicion, and directly reached out to help him.
"No, Your Highness Princess, please allow me to thank you. I believe that if Wang Zhu were alive, he would do the same." Although Wang Zhu's face was filled with tears, he said categorically.
Beside him, Wang Zhu's mother, Wang Zhu's wife, and children all knelt down.
"Folks, we also want to thank Wang Zhu. Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Qin, is right. It is countless soldiers like Wang Zhu who have protected our peace!" Village Chief Chen Li said loudly.
As he spoke, he knelt down directly in the direction of Chang'an.
All the people watching around knelt down together, and everyone looked solemn. Although they were illiterate and did not understand the culture, they could not say some words and some truths, but when someone said it, they understood it. !
Chang Le stood there silently, watching Wang Zhu's father kowtow three times in the direction of Chang'an City. Chang Le then walked over and helped him up.
When Wang Zhu's father stood up, the people around him stood up together.
"Old Zhang Wang, this time I come to see you on behalf of my father and the royal family. I know that Wang Zhu's sacrifice has brought you great sorrow. I know that my arrival cannot ease your inner sorrow, but no matter what No matter what, I should come too. Because neither my father, my third brother nor I can let our heroes bleed and shed tears." Chang Le said softly.
