Chapter 1249: Li Siye dies


As the saying goes, "Everyone is a knife, I am a fish."

Although Guy was full of anger and had an unyielding will, he had to bow to the butcher's knife in Zhao Ziliang's hand.

If he did not surrender, all the Jews in the city would be buried with him, and he would also You can't die, you can only live in humiliation.

Life is so helpless.

With the entire Middle East captured, Syria, Canaan, Sinai Peninsula, Dashi Peninsula and Mesopotamia were all included in the Western Qin's sphere of influence.

The establishment of administrative institutions for governance in these areas has been placed in front of Zhao Ziliang.

Top priority.

On April 20, when Zhao Ziliang was discussing with military officials and generals at the Palace of Herod Antipas the establishment of administrative agencies and garrison agencies in the above areas, the Longwei army on guard outside the palace gate led Zhao Bei to stride forward.

Walking in, he cupped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, Marshal Li's family will beg to see you outside the palace gate, saying that they have something important to report to your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang stopped and raised his hand to wave: "Let him come in."

"promise" After a while, a middle-aged armored general in his thirties walked in and bowed to Zhao Ziliang, crying: "Your Majesty, my commander-in-chief passed away yesterday afternoon."

Everyone in the hall stood up involuntarily.

Whether they had a good relationship with Li Siye, a normal relationship, or someone who had a quarrel with him, they all had sad expressions on their faces.

Even those who had a grudge, they all expressed hatred at this time.

If you don't get up, as the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out.

No matter how great the hatred is, it will disappear at this time.

Another old friend was gone.

Zhao Zi's conscience was lying when he said he was not sad or lonely.

He was a little depressed and asked: "A few days ago, I heard that Li Qing's condition improved after recuperating in Mayin Hot Spring.

Why?"

That’s it” The general burst into tears and told the story of Li Siye's death intermittently.

It turned out that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Li Siye himself was not heat-resistant.

So soaking in hot springs at this time not only had no effect, but also had the opposite effect.

In the past ten days, His condition is getting worse.

Li Siye even forced himself to go horse riding yesterday afternoon.

Who knew?

He accidentally fell off his horse.

His son Li Zuoguo and his family generals and soldiers were shocked.

They immediately carried him to the room and sent people to call military doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

However, this time Li Siye fell and the wound on his body burst.

There was a lot of blood, and his condition was already very serious.

If he didn't remember to come before the military doctor came, he would not be able to survive.

Zhao Ziliang looked sad and said to the officials and generals: "Li Siye is dead, and the lonely king seems to have lost an arm.

The matter of establishing administrative agencies and garrison agencies in the Middle East will be temporarily postponed.

Let's deal with the loss of Li Qing first."

Come on, Li Muchen, hurry up Rushed to Amman to discuss the funeral arrangements with Li Qing's son Li Zuoguo, and asked him what he thought, whether to bury it on the spot or transport it back to Xinjing for burial.

Everything was based on the family's ideas.

The weather was getting older and hotter, so the body was stored.

It won’t be long before the funeral arrangements can’t be delayed.”

Li Muchen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to our rules in the Western Qin Dynasty, soldiers who died in battle should be cremated on the spot, and then the ashes should be placed in altars and transported back to the country.

The ashes of ordinary generals and soldiers should be transported back to their hometowns to be enshrined in the Martyrs' Temple.

Generals , the ashes of famous generals are enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine in Xinjing.

Whether Li Shuai is considered dead in battle or due to illness, I really don't dare to be expert, so I ask your Majesty to make a decision."

After hearing this, the generals and officials immediately looked at each other and started talking among themselves in low voices.

This matter was indeed difficult to decide.

Li Siye was the commander-in-chief of the army in this war.

He had a mission, and he was very outstanding.

The mission was completed, but he did not die in battle or from illness, but from an accident.

There are not many places for worship in the Martyrs' Shrine.

Not every general can enter the Martyrs' Shrine.

Only those who have died in battle can enter.

Those who have retired or no longer have military positions for other reasons cannot enter after their death.

Retired or There is a special place for generals to go if they die of illness or accident.

As a general, it is the highest honor to be placed in the Martyrs' Shrine after his death, and his descendants will also be honored.

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a long time and said: "Pass the decree, find a painter to paint a portrait of Li Qing, and let him enter the Pavilion of Heroes."

The Qunying Pavilion, also called the Mingchen Pavilion, is similar to the Lingyan Pavilion established by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Those who can enter after death are contemporary famous ministers and generals.

Some generals among the Western Qin soldiers did not die in battle, but died of illness or Old age and death, their achievements were crucial to the strength and development of Western Qin It plays an immeasurable role.

Whether such people die in battle, die of old age or illness, they can enter the Pavilion of Heroes after death.

Those who can enter the Pavilion of Heroes, regardless of military generals and civil servants, are only based on merit.

Therefore, those who enter the Pavilion of Heroes after death can enter the Pavilion of Heroes.

There are not only civil servants but also military generals, and their glory is even greater.

Although the generals and officials were stunned for a moment after hearing these words, they still took it for granted that with Li Siye's achievements, he was indeed qualified to enter the Pavilion of Heroes.

Li Muchen cupped his hands and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers again: "I will leave for Amman in the near future.

I will leave the military and political affairs aside for now.

After finishing Li Qing's funeral, I will come back to deal with it.

During my absence, all the Qings' families will be in good hands."

Don’t neglect your duties.”

All the officials and generals clasped their fists and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Three days later, Zhao Ziliang arrived in Amman with 500 cavalry from the Dragon Guard Army.

Li Muchen had already arrived with some people a day earlier and was handling the funeral arrangements with Li Siye's son Li Zuoguo.

Li Muchen and Li Zuoguo brought some family members and soldiers outside the city of Amman to welcome Zhao Ziliang's arrival.

Zhao Ziliang saw them coming out of the city to greet him and blamed him: "Why are you all out?

Who will take care of the funeral hall?"

Li Zuoguo said quickly: "The king is here in person, how can I be disrespectful to the mourning hall, which is being looked after by generals and soldiers?"

Zhao Ziliang was not happy and scolded: "What a nonsense!

How can you behave like a son who is not guarding the mourning hall and leaves a group of generals and soldiers behind?"

Li Muchen smoothed things over: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends.

Loyalty comes first.

Li Shuai and his son's family are loyal to your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Lead the way."

The death of Li Siye left the city of Amman without a general to guard it.

The generals of the Western Qin Army started martial law last night.

Now there are three posts, one post and one sentry on the street.

The security is very tight, and pedestrians have to be careful when walking.

The group of people quickly rode to the city lord's palace.

Li Muchen and Li Zuoguo led the way.

Zhao Ziliang quickly reached the mourning hall, but did not see Li Siye's body.

Li Muchen explained: "Li Shuai left in a hurry, and the army did not prepare a coffin.

Wei Chen originally wanted to ask the army craftsmen to make one, but nephew Zuo Guoxian said that the left and right people would be cremated, and the coffin would also be burned, so there was no need.

It’s unnecessary, Li Shuai’s body is in the next room.”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "In that case, let's carry Li Qing out and place it in the mourning hall.

In the past few days, the generals in the army may come to pay their respects one after another.

Some of them have been promoted by Li Qing, and some have fought together.

There have also been conflicts, but no matter what, this is the last time we see each other, and when someone comes, you can’t let them see you for the last time.”

Li Zuoguo said: "What the king said is true.

I will carry my father out right away."

After receiving the order, some soldiers carried Li Siye's body out from the adjacent room and placed it on the long table in front of the mourning hall.

Zhao Ziliang walked over and stood beside the body in mourning for a long time, and waved to Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei stepped forward and cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang said: "Go and get a national flag."

"yes" Soon, Zhao Bei came over holding a square golden national flag folded in both hands.

Zhao Ziliang picked up the flag, waved it in the air, and covered it on Li Siye's body.

Wrapped in the national flag, no one has ever enjoyed such treatment since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty.

Li Zuoguo knelt down with a plop and burst into tears.

Other generals and soldiers also knelt down.

Zhao Ziliang did not stay here longer and returned to Jerusalem that afternoon.

As a king, it was very rare for him to come to see his ministers off.

Few kings in ancient times could do this.

This was not in line with etiquette.

In the next few days, military generals and officials who were ranked high in rank asked for leave from Zhao Ziliang one after another and came to pay homage to Li Siye in Amman City.

Zhao Ziliang all agreed.

Li Siye was one of the few generals in the Western Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Ziliang was very sad about his death.

Seeing the old people who had followed him die one by one, he felt really uncomfortable.

After returning to Jerusalem from Amman, he was not in the mood to deal with military and political affairs for several days.

On April 25, Li Siye's body was cremated, and his ashes were brought back to Xinjing for burial by his son Li Zuoguo.

On April 27, Zhao Ziliang convened the generals at the Palace of Herod Antipodes in Jerusalem to discuss the establishment of administrative agencies and garrison agencies in various parts of the Middle East to govern and garrison the local areas.

After listening to the suggestions of officials and generals, Zhao Ziliang decided to set up a governor of Dashi in Dashi Peninsula to take charge of military and political affairs in Dashi, with the governor's palace in Medina; in Syria, he established a governor of Syria to take charge of military and political affairs, with the governor's mansion in Damascus; A governor was established in the land of Canaan to take charge of military and political affairs, and the governor's office was located in Jerusalem; and in the Sinai Peninsula, a governor was established to take charge of military and political affairs, and the governor's office was located in Arish.

Finally, Zhao Ziliang asked: "After Li Siye's death, the royal court will determine a posthumous title for him.

What posthumous title do the ministers think should be given to him?"

It is actually not an easy task to establish a posthumous name for someone.

The posthumous name must be determined in line with the actual situation and cannot be determined randomly.

It must be consistent with the person's daily style, ethics and life deeds.

Officials and generals did not dare to stand up and talk nonsense.

Only Li Muchen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that based on Li Shuai's achievements during his lifetime and his deeds as an official, minister and person in daily life, his posthumous title can be used to determine his loyalty and bravery. " Although the posthumous title of Zhongyong is not particularly high on the list, the word "loyalty" in it is equivalent to being registered in front of the king.

This is a very loyal minister.

Being able to gain the trust of the king is stronger than anything else.

In addition, he is indeed extraordinary in martial arts.

Except for Zhao Ziliang, there is really no one in the Western Qin army who is better than him in terms of martial arts, and his bravery is also rare.

In charge battles, he often leads the charge and kills at the front.

The enemy will be frightened when they see him, so he is called a magical general.

Zhao Ziliang nodded.

This posthumous title was indeed pertinent.

He said: "Okay, let's give the posthumous title Zhongyong and send it to Xinjing today to convey the will of the lonely king."
