After Chu Fan stood still, the officials of the Imperial Observatory began to perform the ceremony meticulously according to the process Chu Fan described. When all twenty-one coffins were buried, Chu Fan bowed deeply to the twenty-one tombstones to express his respect and condolences for these fallen heroes.
The ministers and royal family members who witnessed Chu Fan's actions were also moved by the solemn atmosphere. They bowed their heads and expressed their highest respect to these heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country. They bent down and bowed, as if silently expressing their gratitude and remembrance for the heroes.
Outside the Martyrs' Cemetery, ordinary people watched this scene intently. When had they ever seen an emperor, court officials, or royal family members salute ordinary people? This scene stirred a huge wave in their hearts. Their eyes filled with tears, as if silently expressing their admiration and grief for the heroes.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly took the lead and knelt down, shouting: "Long live our emperor!"
This cry was like a powerful force, instantly resonating with everyone present. The people followed suit, kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison: "Long live our emperor!"
For a moment, the deafening cheers resounded through the sky like thunder, as if to penetrate the sky.
This scene lasted for an hour before gradually calming down. Led by the city guards, the people slowly stood up, their hearts still filled with excitement and respect. Tears glistened in their eyes, and they silently prayed for these heroes, hoping their souls would rest in peace.
Chu Fan stood alone beneath the Hero Tower, meticulously constructed from flawless white marble. Meanwhile, the Imperial Observatory's celestial official, standing on a high platform, read out the glorious deeds of the twenty-one heroes in a resounding and solemn voice.
As the voice of the Heavenly Official echoed in the air, the people listened attentively to the stories of each hero.
When the deeds of the first twenty heroes were read out, the crowd erupted in warm applause and cheers. These heroes were all warriors who came out of their three Acropolis, and each of them had left his own footprints on this land.
The people in the three Acropolis were all extremely proud of these men, because they knew that none of the people in the three Acropolis were weak and incompetent.
However, when the official announcement that day read out the story of Goudan, an ordinary boy in Zhonghua City, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
In order to protect His Majesty, he bravely blocked the sharp arrow shot by the assassin of the Qian Kingdom, but was unfortunately killed by the arrow. His heroic deeds made every citizen present feel heartbroken.
Their hatred for Gan Guo burned in their hearts like a raging fire, and everyone gnashed their teeth, eager to avenge Goudan immediately. At this moment, the atmosphere under the Hero Tower became solemn and tragic, with people's hearts filled with respect for Goudan and anger towards Gan Guo.
The people thought in their hearts: Our Wei Emperor is so compassionate to the people, loves the people like his own children, and cares for his subjects like a loving father. For such a benevolent emperor, what kind of mentality and motives did the people of the country have to cruelly plan and carry out the assassination?
The hatred of the people of Kaifeng and its three surrounding citadels for the Gan Kingdom had reached an unbearable pitch. Their hearts were filled with rage and resentment, as if every heart was ignited by anger, and they wished they could take up arms and go to the battlefield to completely eliminate every soldier, every official, and every citizen of the Gan Kingdom to quell their hatred.
After completing all the assigned tasks, Chu Fan summoned the members of the Royal Government Affairs Office. Facing them, he said solemnly:
"From now on, the management of the Martyrs' Cemetery will be your responsibility. You can begin the relevant work now.
First of all, you need to notify the generals who are guarding the country on the border, as well as officials at all levels within the Wei State, and ask them to report those ordinary people or brave soldiers who have made great contributions to the Wei State but unfortunately sacrificed their lives.
After you receive these reports, you must conduct strict verification to ensure that every reported martyr meets the appropriate standards.
Once confirmed, you can arrange for the burial of these martyrs in the solemn Martyrs' Cemetery. At the same time, to commemorate their heroic deeds, you will also need to record their heroic deeds in detail and inscribe them on the Heroes' Tower, so that future generations will always remember their sacrifices and contributions."
After giving all the instructions, Chu Fan left the Martyrs Cemetery. After returning to the palace, Chu Fan went straight to where Yu Huatian lived without any delay.
Although Yu Huatian's current physical condition is still very weak, he is able to communicate with others consciously, which makes Chu Fan feel a little relieved.
Chu Fan was in the room, enthusiastically telling Yu Huatian about various wonderful vernacular novels.
In order to make Yu Huatian more confident, Chu Fan specially selected "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", a very classic work on Blue Star. Chu Fan described the story to Yu Huatian in detail.
Especially the awe-inspiring Dongfang Bubai in the book, who was originally the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, but was imprisoned in a dark dungeon because of the betrayal and conspiracy of the deputy leader.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Dongfang Bubai resolutely chose to castrate himself in order to seek revenge and practiced the legendary peerless martial arts - the Sunflower Manual.
After a period of arduous training, he eventually became an invincible martial arts master, feared by all. Chu Fan hopes that through this story, he can inspire Yu Huatian to show unparalleled courage and determination when facing difficulties.
