According to the arrangement, the opening ceremony of the square was first held. This was announced directly by Li Chengqian without any need for His Majesty Li Er to say!

"I announced that Zhenguan Square will be officially opened today!" When he said this, Li Chengqian's face was a little stiff, especially when he talked about the name of the square... he looked at His Majesty Li Er sitting behind his back with his eyes...

That's right, the name of the square was finally determined to be "Zhenguan"... Just as Li Chengqian said, this name has both profound meanings and can match the functions of the square...

Of course, these reasons are not important. The most important thing is that the name was said by His Majesty Li Er, with a smile on his face and a kind look at Li Chengqian!

Don’t say that Li Chengqian agreed to this name because he was afraid of being beaten or flattering himself! The so-called "filial piety for all virtues is the first", and the Tang Dynasty even governed the country with filial piety. How could Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, fall behind others? How could he do unfilial things like disobeying his own son? So the name of the square was designated as "Zhenguan Square"!

Amid the applause and cheers of the people, Li Chengqian continued: "At the same time, from today, several venues in the square will be open to all the people at the same time for free visits to the people!"

This news is obviously more exciting than the official opening of the square just now, and the applause and cheers are even more enthusiastic!

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the people are so honest. As soon as they say they are open for free, they know that they are wise and wish they can live for a thousand years!

...

The square opening ceremony was very simple and was completed quickly. Next is today's highlight - the unveiling ceremony of the monument!

When Li Chengqian announced the official start of the ceremony, all the people who were originally noisy became quiet, and tens of thousands of people in the square were silent.

Everyone's eyes were gathered in the direction of the viewing platform at this time, and His Majesty Li Er, who was originally sitting on the chair, was already standing up with a solemn face, and all the civil and military officials behind him were also standing up!

Suddenly, a low sound of trumpet broke the silence of the scene, followed by the sound of drums beating like thunder!

Looking up at the increasingly gloomy sky, His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath, then stepped down from the viewing platform. At this time, there was a square formation composed of hundreds of military academy students under the viewing platform, standing solemnly waiting for His Majesty Li Er!

When His Majesty Li Er got off the viewing platform and walked towards the monument in the distance, the students also began to take neat and powerful steps, followed His Majesty Li Er and slowly marched towards the monument!

Only then did the people realize that these students did not hold any weapons, but were holding books or boxed boxes...

When he arrived at the bottom of the monument, His Majesty Li Er stood still, turned around slowly, and looked around. The military academy students holding books and wooden boxes behind him walked towards both sides of the monument, surrounding the monument in the middle!

At this moment, the originally low sound of horns and drumbeats suddenly became more dull, as if they were heavy hammers, hitting everyone's hearts one after another!

"Woo...woo...woo..."

"Dongdongdongdong...dongdongdong...dongdongdong..."

His Majesty Li Er slowly raised one hand, and all the sounds of horns and drum beats came to an abrupt end, and the scene fell silent again!

"The people around me often praise my invincible deeds of fighting in the world and fighting in the past. I always feel complacent about my past events..." His Majesty Li Er's low and hoarse voice clearly reached everyone's ears in the square through the amplification device, allowing everyone's eyes to gather on him again, and...

Li Chengqian looked at his father with surprise. Didn’t he prepare the speech in advance? But... what His Majesty Li Er said was obviously not the content in the speech! Even the civil officials who drafted the speech for His Majesty Li Er were shocked. They didn’t understand why His Majesty Li Er suddenly gave up his speech, but spoke directly in plain language!

His Majesty Li Er did not care about everyone's reaction and continued: "It has been twenty-five years since he followed his father to rebel in Hedong! He defeated Chang'an, destroyed Xue Ju, defeated Dou Jiande in front of Hulao Pass, and destroyed Wang Shichong in Luoyang City... Until today, I destroyed the Turks, eliminated the great troubles of the Tang Dynasty, and avenged the previous shame, so that the people of the Central Plains no longer have to bear the suffering of the alien races in the northern border... People around me always say that these are my achievements, but... my son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, told me that these are not just

It is not just my contribution, not just my contribution, not just my contributions to generals such as Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Hou Junji, etc. The greatest contributions are the contributions of ordinary soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield and might not even leave their names after death! I think what he said is right... Isn't the achievements that I praise today accumulated with the bones of countless ordinary soldiers? Isn't the harmony and peace of the Tang Dynasty exchanged for the blood of these soldiers?"

"But...haha, it's ridiculous. Even Emperor, the person with the greatest achievements in everyone's eyes, has ignored these people... These people who are called unknown heroes by the crown prince! I am ashamed of the millions of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty, and of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for me!"

His Majesty Li Er said it very bluntly and his words are very easy to understand. Therefore, everyone, whether it is a scholar with poetry or an illiterate old farmer, can understand what he means and can feel the true expression of his feelings in his words!

"But... any mistake is enough!" His Majesty Li Er suddenly changed his tone and became extremely firm. "From today, I, my descendants, and the Tang Dynasty will no longer ignore it, and will never forget any hero who bleeds for the Tang Dynasty! Any hero who bleeds and sacrifices for my Tang Dynasty will always be engraved on this Tang Dynasty Hero Monument!"

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er pulled a rope next to him that linked the red cloth on the monument, and then...

The red cloth on the monument slowly fell down, and the entire monument was finally displayed in front of the world!

The monument is nearly ten feet high. Even the people standing on the outermost side of the square can clearly see the line of large characters carved on the monument facing the south side of the monument, even if there is no sunshine, the big characters still shining with faint light - the Tang Dynasty Hero Monument!

On the north side, on the monument facing the Zhuque Gate, there are also several big characters carved - the heroic soul of the Tang Dynasty will last forever!
