Chapter 511: An irresistible bait! The etiquette of going to Te Niang!
Just when Ying Zheng was summoning his trusted ministers to discuss government affairs, Ying Chengxuan had already led more than 400 soldiers into Chang'an Township.
Standing on horseback by the Weishui River, Ying Chengyu took a bag from the eighth husband, grabbed a handful of corn from it, and threw it into the river.
"Plop, grunt, porphyrin, porphyrin~~~"
As the ripples of the collision between the corn and the water surface spread to the surroundings, the fish followed.
The black back of the fish was perfectly concealed by the night, but the silvery-white abdominal scales that occasionally reflected the moonlight and the large handfuls of water splashed by the fish tail revealed what a huge school of fish was hidden under the water!
The size of the fish school here and the speed of the fish's response to baiting also prove that even if Ying Chengyu has been away from Chang'an Township for a long time, even if the order to help him build a nest is strange and outrageous, his order and will It is still being implemented effectively by his subordinates!
Looking at the rippling Weishui River, Ying Chengyu said in a calm voice: "Since you return to Chang'an Jun's Mansion, many people may come to look for you."
"They I will give you fine wines, fine meals, and beauties, and I will spend all my money and effort to establish a good relationship with you."
Bafu immediately said firmly: "We all live and die with the master of the family, and we are definitely not like that. A ungrateful villain! ”
"We will always be the sharpest swords in the hands of the master of the family!"
"And." The eighth husband suddenly laughed: "Now that the humble title has been given to the public, the titles of the remaining robes are also not low, just alone The annual salary is enough to support the whole family."
"The master of the house often gives generous rewards. What kind of wine, food, and beauties can we want?"
"Paoze people. We all know that we can only live a good life by following the master!”
“Don’t worry, master!”
Not to mention Mrs. Han's generous rewards and win-overs for more than ten years, nor their friendship with Ying Chengyu through life and death several times.
In terms of benefits alone, the Eighth Lord Duke has been promoted to public service, and the annual salary issued by the court alone amounts to 400 stones of corn.
Gua Fu has shot at the enemy general many times, and his title has reached the fifth level. His annual salary is 450 shi of corn. If his title and ability are used outside, he will be a small official. The county magistrate is not a problem.
The titles of Hanfu, ex-husband and other soldiers from his hometown are not low, and they also receive monthly crops and various rewards from Ying Chengyu. They are among the best in the Qin Dynasty in terms of social status and personal wealth. who.
Although the salary of Peng Cheng and other newly promoted family soldiers is not high, they have successful examples around them. Do you want to bribe them with small favors?
Not easy!
Ying Chengyu smiled: "It is precisely because I am not worried about my second and third sons betraying me that I need to remind you specifically."
"If someone invites you to a banquet recently, I would like to Just go and have fun."
"Except for the beautiful dancers, servants and other people, you can take whatever you like, you're welcome."
All the soldiers were stunned: "Huh???"
It is easy for them to understand that they do not accept beauties, dancers and other people.
After all, there is uncertainty as a human being.
As the last line of security around Ying Cheng, they must not bring danger to Ying Cheng.
But Ying Chengyu actually let them collect other goods as they pleased?
This is against discipline!
The fortune teller looked at the lake and said thoughtfully: "Someone intends to win over us and get something from the owner of the family."
"But the owner of the family also hopes to get something from those people with the help of us. ?"
Ying Chengyu patted the corn crumbs on his hands into the lake and nodded slightly: "After this battle, the Chu country fell into decline."
"The people of Chu are powerful. They are bound to seek strategies for rejuvenation, and the Chu people who live in our great Qin may also have some ideas from this."
"Today, the king made it clear in public that he would like to thank the king for accepting the daughter of Chu into the palace. Chu Nu.”
"No matter what the outcome is, I have shown my kindness to the powerful people of Chu."
"I thought that some Chu people would be kept up all night because of this, trying to find out my intentions as soon as possible. ”
Although Ying Chengyu has been on the battlefield for a long time and has no plan to kill enemies, but if you look at Ying Chengyu’s war history, you can find that Ying Chengyu killed the most enemies in this battle.
In addition, tactics such as setting fire to the mountains and pouring golden juice on the head were only used by Ying Chengyu in the territory of Chu.
All of this may make people think that Ying Chengyu is dissatisfied with Chu Di.
However, admonishing Yingzheng to pay more attention to the concubines of the Chu palace is actually beneficial to the interests of the Chu people.
If Ying Chengyu was just an ordinary courtier, perhaps no one would care about his remarks.
But not Ying Chengyu!
For Da Qin and the world, Ying Chengyu has already played an important role!
Ying Chengyu believes that there will be people eager to test his tendencies and try to use Ying Chengyu to achieve their goals.
The hexagram master smiled and said: "What we have to do is to accept their bribes."
"Then we tell them from our own words that the head of the family is not attacking Chu for personal grudges, but just for the sake of national security." "Wang's order?"
Ying Chengqiu smiled happily: "Yes!"
"I will inform the second and third sons after we discuss it with my mother and concubine." >
"Before this, the second and third sons must not express their dissatisfaction with Chu people and the Chu country."
All the soldiers raised their hands in unison: "Wei!"
Ying Chengyu finally looked at the Weishui River, whose surface was much lower than before, got on his horse, and shouted loudly:
"Let's go home!"
The night was dark and I couldn't see my fingers.
But Chang'an Township is like a lighthouse in the ocean, bright and warm.
Torches stretched out from outside the gates of Chang'an Jun's Mansion and Chang'an Palace, and were replaced from time to time, always lighting up the way home for Ying Chengyu and the soldiers.
All the villagers took out the oil lamps that they were reluctant to use on weekdays, walked out of their homes with lights in their hands, and gathered on both sides of the main road in Chang'an Township, looking forward to it.
Finally, a bright light cut through the night and gradually formed into a fire dragon, speeding towards Chang'an Township. "Your Majesty is back! Your Majesty is back!"
"Your Majesty is back. We have our backbone. I wonder if my baby is okay!"< br>
"Don't worry. Although your Majesty killed a lot of enemies in this battle, the battle went very smoothly. Your Majesty and our children must be alive and well!"
When Ying Chengyu led his army to approach Chang'an. In the countryside, the night that enveloped him was dispersed by the light.
What came face to face were pairs of expectant, excited and kind eyes.
The killing intent created by fighting for several months, traveling thousands of miles, and killing hundreds of thousands of enemies slowly dissipated. Ying Chengyu said in a warm voice: "I'd like you all to come and greet me."
"This battle , I and all the soldiers have won consecutive battles, worthy of my father’s expectations.”
"It's getting late. Elders, please go home and rest first."
"Tomorrow there will be a triumphal banquet at the Chang'an Lord's Mansion. Please be sure to appreciate it!"
Dan Ying Chengyu's words It's of no use.
"Quick, lift up the buttermilk! Please drink a bowl of buttermilk first to moisten your throat!"
"Your Majesty and the children have been fighting outside for a long time, and they are all hungry and thin! Please Eat some chicken first!”
"They are all roasted by the rabbits that the old man hunted in the mountains. They are not valuable. Eat some! Eat some quickly!"
An old, weak, sick and disabled man raised his hands high and poured wine, buttermilk and chicken. , barbecue and other food were raised above their heads, within reach of Ying Chengyu and his soldiers.
These foods are not precious to Ying Chengyu.
But for the person holding it, it is the best gift they can give!
Looking at a skinny old man holding a wooden bowl with a helpless expression, Ying Cheng immediately stepped forward and took the bowl from the man's hand.
After moving his lips for a few breaths, Ying Chengyu whispered: "I'm sorry."
"Lao Lao sent all the heirs from Tiefu's family to Chang'an Jun's Mansion, regardless of male or female, I am responsible for educating the adults and giving them to start a family. "
"My father-in-law will also go to the Chang'an Palace tomorrow. The Chang'an Palace will support my father-in-law for the rest of my life."
Although Ying Chengyu did not charge personally in this battle, after all. Dozens of soldiers were killed in the battle.
And one of them is the eldest son of the old man in front of him!
The old man did not lose his soul, but asked anxiously: "Is my son brave?"
Ying Chengjian said in a deep voice: "Very brave!"
"I am proud to have such a family of soldiers. Hao!"
After saying this, Ying Chenglong drank the wine in the bowl and returned it with both hands.
The old man's eyes finally showed some sparkle: "In this way, my son will have no regrets in this life!"
Behind Ying Chengyu, the fortune teller took the chicken raised by another woman.
Haulily peeling off the egg shell, the fortune teller threw the whole chicken into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. Then he bowed his hands and said, "Brother Hai's wife and parents are my wife and parents." !”
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law!”
All the soldiers were not polite, and they took some food from every villager’s hand.
After all, even Peng Cheng moved his family members to Chang'an Township. Bafu, Guafu and other family soldiers grew up in Chang'an Township since childhood, and those who brought food to them were their aunts, grandmothers, My sister-in-law and my niece are all family members, so there is no need to be polite.
But every time he saw the family members of Pao Ze who were killed or injured in battle, the surviving family soldiers would earnestly make their promises after taking away the food.
Ying Chengyu will be responsible for solving the major economic and educational problems of the family members of Pao Ze who died in the war.
And the care and care in their daily lives has been shouldered by the family soldiers as a matter of convention!
Even though he had experienced such a scene many times, Ying Chengyu still felt a little depressed and didn't know how to face it.
He could only drive his war horses and speed up his departure.
It wasn't until he saw the familiar Chang'an Junfu in the distance that the negative emotions in Ying Chengyu's heart eased a little.
When he saw Mrs. Han standing at the door with a kind face, Ying Chengyu couldn't bear it anymore.
Turn over and dismount, Ying Chengyu spread his long legs, rushed into the door of the house, shouted at the top of his voice:
"Mother Concubine!!!"
Mrs. Han's smile became more kind and brighter, and she called loudly: "My son..."
Mrs. Han prepared to welcome Ying Chengyu according to the general's triumphal etiquette.
But.
Etiquette for going to Te Niang!
Ying Chengyu hugged Mrs. Han directly, squatting down and resting his head on Mrs. Han's shoulder.
Ying Chengyu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows best how dangerous the battlefield is.
Ying Chengyu could not imagine that his quiet and elegant mother-in-law, who spent her whole day tending flowers and plants, never fighting or grabbing, could be associated with such a bloody place as the battlefield, nor did she think that Mrs. Han had the ability to withstand the open and secret arrows on the battlefield.
God knows how panicked Ying Chengyu was when he learned that Mrs. Han was wearing armor and going into battle!
Now, feeling the familiar atmosphere, Ying Chengyu finally felt the peace of mind that he had not seen for a long time, and murmured softly:
"Concubine, my son is back."
< br>"My son will never again make his mother and concubine wear armor and fight."
"Definitely!"
