"Hehe, third brother, isn't Si Zi very smart?" Jin Yang said arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, Sizi is the smartest, so you have to work hard for Third Brother. When you grow up, Third Brother will still count on you to help Third Brother!" Li Ke said seriously.
"Well, don't worry, third brother. Si Zi likes third brother the most. Si Zi must study hard." Jin Yang nodded seriously.
…
Li Ke was chatting with Si Zi here. When Li Zhi walked to a place where the two of them could not see him, he curled his lips and said: "Huh, third brother, you are not so kind. Why study hard? I don't want to study hard. I will study hard." Study, what if you ask me to be the emperor? Humph! I might as well go practice martial arts! Mencius even said that those who know their destiny will not stand under a rock wall."
After thinking about it, Li Zhi felt a little proud for a moment, but soon he became decadent again, because he still had to do the homework that should be done. No, just write, and finish your homework as soon as possible. Then I will research what is fun, but I don’t believe it. I can’t find anything fun by myself.
Li Zhi quickly cheered up.
How could Li Ke know Li Zhi's little thoughts? After playing with Jinyang and the others for a while, Li Ke left the Lizheng Palace and walked outside the palace. When passing by the imperial city, Li Ke hesitated for a moment and then turned to Shangshu Province. He didn't go to Fang Xuanling, but to Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan took over Doulu Kuan's position and served as the Minister of Rites. Although Yu Shinan is already eighty years old this year, historically he can still work until his death next year. Now that Sun Simiao is here, why not work for two more years.
Yu Shinan is very knowledgeable. Although he is thin and short, he has a strong personality. In fact, he is quite suitable for the current tasks of the Ministry of Rites.
"I've met Yu Shangshu." Li Ke entered the Ministry of Rites and saw Yu Shinan with white hair and beard, and he quickly saluted.
"I have met Your Highness," Yu Shinan quickly stood up from his seat and saluted.
"The Duke of Yongxing County is exempt from courtesy. Although I am a prince, I am not worthy of your salute. You are the pillar of my Tang Dynasty and the pillar of my Tang Dynasty!" Li Ke said with a sincere expression.
Yu Shinan was a little helpless. After asking Li Ke to sit down, he said, "I'm afraid your highness, you have too many giant pillars."
"Looking at what you said, Yu Shangshu, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. Although the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from many ministers and generals, there are so-called talented people from generation to generation. There are no old-timers like you to help us correct the path and support the country first. Tang Jiangshan, it's our turn to grow up." Li Ke said.
Yu Shinan glanced at Li Ke silently, then stroked his beard and said: "I just like to listen to your highness, you speak, it sounds good! I like to listen! But I was born in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and lived through the Sui Dynasty and now the Tang Dynasty. You I don’t even know whether I should accept this.”
"Why shouldn't it be done? They are all Chinese orthodoxy. My grandpa was the emperor of the previous dynasty. They are all members of the same family. What I say is sincere. If you hadn't assisted the former Sui Dynasty in unifying China, there would be no Tang Dynasty today." Li Ke said with a smile.
Yu Shinan: "..."
He couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or not.
"Your Highness, please tell me what happened today." Yu Shinan said helplessly.
"I just want to ask how the collection of the remains of martyrs from various places is going now?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
Collecting the remains of martyrs seems to be something anyone can do, but since the Tang Dynasty wants to build a cemetery for martyrs and raise the status of soldiers, the Ministry of Rites can only be responsible for collecting the remains of martyrs.
"Currently, more than 7,000 bodies have been collected, but the names of more than 8,000 others cannot be found. In addition, about 3,000 more have been identified. According to etiquette, their tombs were raised and cremated, and the remaining bones were put into coffins. It will take more than two months to return to Chang'an." Yu Shinan said immediately.
"If the name cannot be found, the legion to which it belongs can be found?" Li Ke asked.
"Okay." Yu Shinan nodded.
"Then we will collectively erect a monument in the name of the legion, and then their personal tombstones will be engraved with a monument to the unknown heroes and martyrs." Li Ke said.
"Yes." Yu Shinan had no problem with this.
"There can be no problems with all the bones. They must return to Chang'an before October 1st in the Gregorian calendar of the Tang Dynasty. According to the current progress, I am planning to hold an event to honor the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty on October 1st." Li Ke said.
"Why October 1st?" Yu Shinan looked at Li Ke with some confusion. There seemed to be nothing special about this day.
"Don't worry about it, I just want to use this day." Li Ke was very willful.
Yu Shinan: "..."
"Your Highness, why not put it on June 18, the 22nd year of the Gregorian calendar of the Tang Dynasty? Because this is the day when Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne. It can also be regarded as the day when the Tang Dynasty was founded." Yu Shinan hesitated and said, for the Ministry of Rites, this kind of You definitely need to find a suitable day for the festival.
"No, the Tang Dynasty calendar changed several times. Your calculation of the date is not as accurate as mine. After my calculations, October 1st is the day when my grandfather announced the revolt against tyranny. It is a good day to commemorate these martyrs. The founding of the People's Republic of China is the Founding of the People's Republic of China." Li Ke shook his head and said, "618" is not a shopping festival.
"It is appropriate to announce the rise of troops to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the Tang Dynasty. Or it is reasonable to call this day the Founding Day, because this day laid the foundation for the founding of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke looked at Yu Shinan and said.
"Okay... it makes sense for you to say that." Yu Shinan nodded, as long as you can find a reason, it's fine. I'm afraid you just want to come on any day, which would be too difficult for me.
Thinking carefully about the day when Emperor Gaozu raised his army, it seems that it was indeed early September. The Gregorian calendar is later than the lunar calendar, so it is very possible that the Gregorian calendar is October 1st, and His Highness's statement can be justified.
"Well, that's it. It's already July, don't delay things." Li Ke nodded.
"Yes!" Yu Shinan nodded.
"Then I'll leave first, please excuse Yu Shangshu." Li Ke saluted Yu Shinan.
"Your Highness, please be patient. I still have a question. This is the etiquette for the burial of martyrs. Should Your Highness also discuss with my Ministry of Etiquette to formulate relevant rules?" Yu Shinan said.
"I have my own discretion on this. When the time comes, your Ministry of Etiquette will send someone over to learn. This will be done on similar days in the future." Li Ke said quickly, "That's it, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Li Ke ran away directly. Can I tell you, I want to stand on it and parade on this day? snort!
Looking at the direction Li Ke left, Yu Shinan was stunned.
No, moving the bones is not the job of our Rites Department, but you handed it over to our Rites Department. This...well, it makes sense. After all, they are martyrs who dedicated their lives for the Tang Dynasty. But if you co-author the etiquette related to burying these martyrs, you don’t need me in the etiquette department?
So what exactly does my Ministry of Etiquette do? !
Shouldn't the latter be the one who wants to discuss this with us?
And... following your rules... is this in line with Zhou etiquette? If you do something that violates Zhou Li, if His Majesty blames you... I am over eighty years old, is it possible that I still need to be stabbed? !
