After returning to his long-lost home, Yang Qing relaxed his body and mind, and he couldn't finish talking to Xiahou Yue.

Yang Qing encouraged the servants and asked them to retreat, leaving him and Xiahou Yue and his wife to stay together and share their feelings with each other, enjoying this rare sweet moment.

"Yue'er, I'm going to attend the celebration banquet at the county temple in the evening, so I won't have dinner at home."

In front of the window, Yang Qing and Xiahou Yue snuggled together, watching the scenery in the courtyard while talking about their current situation.

Xiahou Yue moved his head away from his husband's shoulders, turned his head to face Yang Qing and said, "I have thought of it for a long time that Mulan has prepared hot soup. Let's go to the banquet after taking a shower."

"Yue'er is still thoughtful. I just talked and forgot about bathing and changing clothes. It was too late, so I'll go now." After that, Yang Qing suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xiahou Yue's forehead.

Xiahou Yue was shocked and only reacted after a while. With a whisper, he quickly pushed Yang Qing away, turned his back and said embarrassedly: "The window is open, so it's not good to see it."

Yang Qing stepped forward and hugged Xiahou Yue in his arms again. Seeing that she was already so embarrassed that her face was flushed. Her pretty face was extremely beautiful against the blushing background. She moved her heart and lowered her head.

When Xiahou Yue saw that Yang Qing was hitting her red lips this time, she was shocked again. She quickly pushed Yang Qing away and ran to the window so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

Seeing Xiahou Yue so shy, Yang Qing smiled in his heart and said jokingly: "Yue'er will turn around, I won't make fun of you anymore, go and take a shower first." As he said that, he left the room.

Xiahou Yue turned around and ran to the door. Seeing Yang Qing walking towards the bathroom, she smiled gently as he looked at his far away back.

The full moon is in the sky, the moon is bright, and the clear light as water is sprinkled on the earth by the Star Lord of the Yin, making the entire Mianyang City seem to be covered with a veil, which looks so peaceful and peaceful.

Tonight, Yang Xi, the magistrate of Mianyang County, lifted the curfew, so that the people in the city could celebrate Ji Han's victory in the Northern Expedition to the fullest. At this moment, the various wine shops in the city were full of people, drinking and having fun, playing and joking, which was really lively.

However, the most lively place in the city tonight is not the restaurant shops, nor the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but the Mianyang County Temple.

The back hall of the county temple has long been decorated with bright lights, and dozens of tables have been built in the courtyard inside and outside the hall, and the delicious dishes on the table are almost the same.

Everyone entered one after another and sat down one after another. After a while, they sat down the seats, and now they were just waiting for Zhuge Liang and Yang Qing and others to arrive.

"The Prime Minister is here."

Yang Yi, the Mianyang parent official, acted as the host of the dinner party, walked in front to lead Zhuge Liang, Yang Qing, Zhao Yun, Guan Xing, Xiang Lang and other important officials into the room. Jiang Wei, Liang Xu, Yin Shangshang, Liang Qian, Shangguan Zixiu and other Longyou surrendered officials also followed behind and sat in the hall, which was quite eye-catching.

"Prime Minister, everyone is here. Do you want to say a few words first?" Xiang Lang stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang after listening to Yang Opera's report.

Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile, raised his glass and stood up. Seeing this, everyone stood up to respond.

"You guys, tonight's banquet is a celebration of merit. This Northern Expedition killed tens of thousands of Wei soldiers and captured dozens of cities. It can be said that we have achieved complete achievements. We will fight for several months and will never let down the grace of the late emperor and the hope of the emperor.

Here, please raise your glasses to congratulate the late emperor and to congratulate the emperor." Zhuge Liang's eyes were filled with tears when he said this, and he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Congratulations to the late emperor and to the emperor!"

After everyone finished drinking the first glass of wine, Zhuge Liang continued: "This second glass of wine is to toast the soldiers who fell into battle. They did not fear sacrifice and sacrificed their lives for the restoration of the Han Dynasty and shed their blood. They are truly worthy of being the good man of my great man.

Here, please let us wish their heroes forever, their souls will return to their hometown, their flesh and blood will be steamed and sacrificed, and their family will be sacrificed." As he said that, he poured the wine in his glass on the ground.

Everyone looked solemn when they heard this, and they followed Zhuge Liang to spread the wine in the glass on the ground to worship the dead heroes.

Yang Qing thought and bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, does Qing have a suggestion that he should speak or not?"

"When will you become twitchy? Just say anything if you have anything to say." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Yang Qing said: "Yes. There are many generals and schools who were not in the king's affairs during this Northern Expedition. They sacrificed their lives for the country and were commendable. The Qing Dynasty thought that a loyalty and righteous temple could be built on the north bank of Mianshui to worship the spiritual thrones of the fallen soldiers, so that their heroic spirits could be sacrificed by the world forever.

This will not only inspire the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers of the three armies, but also show the country's desire to commend justice. It will kill several goals in one fell swoop. I wonder if the Prime Minister thinks it is feasible?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He suddenly realized that this matter was feasible. He was quite moved and thought to himself: "This method is more clever than the ghosts of the two armies I sacrificed in Nanzhong back then. This kid always had wonderful ideas and was surprised. It seems that building a Zhongyi Temple for ordinary soldiers was inconsistent with etiquette, and it is afraid it would attract opposition."

"No, this matter is incompatible with the system. What is the ancestral hall? It is a place for worshipping ancestors and sages. How can I enshrine all the fallen soldiers? Doing this is not in line with the court's etiquette." Before Zhuge Liang could speak, the chief minister Xianglang immediately opposed it.

After hearing this, Yang Qing cursed Lao Tan and was about to refute it, but Xiang Lang said softly: "Of course Mingzhi's proposal also makes sense. However, if the country must set up a temple of loyalty and righteousness, it should also select one or two wise ministers and generals to worship it. One is in line with the etiquette system, and the other is to be inspiring. Isn't this better than stuffing all the spiritual positions of all the fallen soldiers in?"

"Judhagong did not agree with this statement. The soldiers were loyal to the country and wrapped in horses and corpses. How could they call them a wise man?

Virtue and bad should be judged based on personal character, rather than determined by status. Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao both held high positions back then. Could it be that they were loyal and virtuous people of the Han Dynasty, and those young soldiers who sacrificed for the Han Dynasty were not?" Yang Qing retorted.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiang Lang said: "Mingzhi, your words are sophistry. Can there be no loyal ministers in the high position only the thiefs in the Han Dynasty?"

"The old man has quite clear logic."

Yang Qing smiled in his heart. In fact, he knew that his words just now were suspected of being sophist, but debate does not have to be logical, and taking the initiative in debate is the key.

However, we cannot always use sophistry to explain our views. In the end, we will not convince a wise man like Zhuge Liang. Yang Qing felt that he could convince people in the end.

So he bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, the purpose of building the Zhongyi Temple is to capture the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies, so that the world can know that the Han Dynasty has never forgotten these loyal and brave men. It is absolutely not a good effect to worship one or two people. Please think deeply about the difference between this."

Seeing that Yang Qing was like this, Xiang Lang stopped arguing and stood up solemnly, but listened to Zhuge Liang's decision. Zhuge Liang took all the expressions of the two, smiled slightly, and said to everyone aloud: "You guys think how should this loyalty and righteous temple be established?"

Zhao Yun was the first to respond: "Prime Minister, I think it is more appropriate to worship all the fallen soldiers as Mingzhi said."

"Yes, Prime Minister, if the soldiers know that they can be worshipped by the court for four seasons after their death, they will be killed by everyone. This will be more powerful and inspiring than just offering sacrifices to one or two people." Guan Xing also echoed.

With him and the other two, more and more people agreed with Yang Qing. Zhuge Liang saw that most of the military generals supported Yang Qing, while almost all those who supported Xiang Lang were civil officials.

But even so, only three or four people clearly supported Xiang Lang. Most civil servants did not speak out and remained neutral. However, this attitude was obviously biased towards Yang Qing. They were just not easy to talk to due to the etiquette and Xiang Lang's face.

Seeing that the situation was like this, Zhuge Liang knew it. He actually preferred Yang Qing's suggestions, and it was also because the court's etiquette system was not easy to express his opinion immediately.

Now most people agree to establish the Zhongyi Temple according to Yang Qing's method, so he has no worries and said, "Since that's the case, then Zhao Mingzhi's suggestion to build the Zhongyi Temple. After returning to Chengdu, I will report this matter to the emperor."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang turned his head to Xiang Lang, who was in the lower left, and said: "Donald Juda, don't worry about the etiquette system. There are many well-educated people in the court, so this matter will be done with regulations."

His implication is that the ritual system is explained. By quoting scriptures and quoting all fallen soldiers will become in line with the ritual system.
