Chapter 698 Celebration Banquet(2/2)

Zhu Cixi also stood up. He slowly raised the wine bowl and said:

"Okay, today the Qing family is toasting a toast, and I will definitely drink it, but before I drink it, I should first pay tribute to the loyal souls of those who died in the country's war!"

Zhu Cixiang spilled the wine in his hand on the ground and said loudly:

"The first cup is a tribute to the soldiers who died fighting for the country in Liaodong. Without their heroic sacrifice, it would be more difficult for Ming Dynasty to regain Liaodong today."

"The first glass of wine is a tribute to the martyrs..."

Everyone present spilled their wine on the ground, and many generals even had tears streaming from their eyes, especially those whose family ancestors died in Liaodong.

Zhu Cixi picked up the wine bowl and sprinkled it on the ground again:

"Second glass of wine, I respect the civil servants who served the country and the people, died in the war and were killed by the slaves. Liaodong has been recovered, and you can rest in peace!"

After Emperor Shenwu, everyone spilled wine on the ground again and shouted in unison:

"Second cup, honor your loyalty!"

Zhu Cixi picked up the third bowl of wine and threw it on the ground beside him:

"The third glass of wine is for the millions of Han people in Liaodong who were killed by the Jiannu who resisted, as well as the Ming merchants who strongly supported the Ming army in fighting but were killed by the Jiannu!"

"Third glass of wine, Jingpaoze!"

Everyone also threw the third bowl of wine on the ground...

Emperor Chongzhen standing next to Zhu Cixiang had a serious expression. He was like a robot, repeating every move after Emperor Shenwu.

In fact, he had mixed feelings in his heart, because he thought about the several wars that took place in Liaodong when he was in power, and the several times when the slaves entered the pass and plundered.

At the same time, I also think of the Jian Nu who wreaked havoc on the people in the capital and displaced the people. I also think of Yuan Chonghuan who promised to Pingliao for a few years and Mao Renlong who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan. I also think of Man Gui who died fighting to resist the Jian Nu entering the customs...

When Zhu Cixiang picked up the third bowl of wine and was about to toast with everyone, Emperor Chongzhen made a move that was different from everyone else's.

I saw him silently spilling the fourth bowl of wine on the ground, his mouth trembling slightly...

He didn’t say who he was toasting with this glass of wine, and no one knew what Emperor Chongzhen’s glass of wine meant, and no one dared to take the initiative to ask... I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous era, I invited everyone to collect it from the time when the prince was in charge of the country: (https://www.myxls.net) Ming Dynasty
