Chapter 513 Ying Chengyu’s true reward! What a presumptuous thing to say!
The main hall and front yard of Chang'an Jun's Mansion is very large, but it still cannot accommodate more than a thousand guests.
Usually, Mrs. Han and Mi Tian will comprehensively consider the number of times the diners have been summoned by Ying Chengyu, family strength, talent, academic style, contribution and other factors, and then select the person who is most valued by Ying Chengyu or the most important person. Those who need to be valued by Ying Chengyu are placed in the front yard, and those who are less important are placed in the left and right yards.
But today, there is only one standard for the ranking of seats.
Military merit!
Anyone who bravely killed the enemy in the defense battle of Xianyang City would be able to sit on top even if he had never been summoned by Ying Chengyu.
Those who have not participated in the defense of Xianyang City, even Zhang Rang, can only sit in the side courtyard.
But no one complained about it.
Zhang Rang, who was sitting in the corner of the courtyard, felt relaxed all over. While happily looking at Zhang Sheng who was sitting in the main courtyard, he also deliberately adjusted his body shape to make Ying Chengyu disappear from his sight. .
On the high platform, Ying Chengxuan raised his wine cup and said: "I am going on an expedition. I am not afraid of the enemy's strength. I am only afraid of changes at home."
"In this battle, all my family members are safe. It's all thanks to your bravery to kill the enemy and risk your life to protect each other!"
"I respect you all!"
After saying this, Yingcheng Manchu Drink wine.
All the guests hurriedly stood up, cupped their hands, and drank a lot of water: "Your Majesty, you are so polite."
"Your Majesty has raised us generously, and I will risk my life to help you!"
Nourishment is not charity.
The purpose of raising scholars is to maintain them!
Ying Chengyun provided for their whole family with delicious food and drinks, and paid them a monthly salary. If they just sat back and watched Yingcheng's family members being in danger, they would be indifferent.
Is that still a human being?
As the maid poured the wine, Ying Chengyu sighed softly: "In this battle, I, the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, will fight first."
"One hundred and three eunuchs, 391 eunuchs, 787 domestic soldiers in reserve, 2,205 servants, and 631 gentlemen died in Xianyang City!"< br>
"Grrrr!"
"What a tragedy!"
In this battle, Mrs. Han, Queen Mother Huayang, Ying Zheng and Mi Tian were not injured.
But how can they not be injured when they stand in the most conspicuous position on the battlefield?
More than half of the eunuchs in Chang'an Jun's Mansion and Chang'an Palace died in the battle, 60% of the eunuchs died in the battle, 40% of the domestic reserve troops died in the battle, more than half of the servants died in the battle, and nearly 30% of the retainers died in the battle!
After a great battle, many familiar faces in the mansion died on the battlefield.
They protected Mrs. Han very well with their lives.
They also used their lives to practice what is meant by a king supporting a scholar for a hundred days, and a scholar dying for the king!
Even in this battle, Ying Chengyu killed many enemies and many of his subordinates died.
But when he saw the Chang'an Junfu in front of him, which was much emptier than before, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and gratitude in his heart.
Ying Chengyu stood up, raised the wine cup high and said, "This person honors the righteous man!"
After saying this, Ying Chengyu poured the wine from the cup on the ground.
The servants in the hall bowed their heads, and all the gentlemen toasted.
The faint aroma of wine filled the yard, comforting the fallen heroes.
After ten breaths of silence, Ying Chengxuan continued to speak: "A righteous man fights to the death for me, and I cannot be unjust."
"Everyone who died in the battle of Chang'an Jun's Mansion and Chang'an Palace, regardless of their identity, is I will give you 10,000 yuan, and my family will be supported by my Chang'an Palace for the rest of their lives."
"All the children who have not yet matured can be taught by law officials in my Chang'an Palace. If they learn well, I will personally test them. "Classwork."
All the guests, servants, and maids present brightened their eyes, and they all raised their hands and shouted:
"Chang'an Jun is kind and virtuous!"
Although the 10,000 yuan given by Ying Chengyu was heavy, it was nothing compared to the promises that followed.
The heirs can study in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, and they can even be tutored by Ying Chengyu in person!
Who doesn’t envy Zhang Liang who can study with Ying Chengyu?
Nowadays, everyone has the possibility to become Zhang Liang!
Ying Chengyu’s promise is not over yet: “In this battle, the eunuchs of Chang’an Palace also fought with extraordinary bravery.”
"I have received permission from the king to build an altar in the east of Chang'an Township. All the eunuchs who died in this battle will be buried around the altar, and the eunuchs and palace maids will be sent to worship them every year."
"In the future, Chang'an Palace will Eunuchs who have meritorious service can also be buried here after reporting to Zongzheng, and they can enjoy sacrifices."
Hearing what Ying Chengyu said, the dozen or so eunuchs who came to help in the side courtyard were stunned.
As eunuchs, it is their destiny to be childless.
In this era of extremely serious superstitions, having no descendants and no sacrifices is undoubtedly the most serious blow to a person.
Although they can ensure sacrifices for decades after death by collecting god relatives, collecting god relatives is not something that every eunuch is qualified to do.
Now, Ying Chengyu has opened up a way for all eunuchs to enjoy the incense of sacrifice forever!
All the eunuchs in the courtyard knelt down and kowtowed: "Mr. Chang'an is so kind and virtuous that lowly people will never forget it!"
"In order to repay your kindness, we will die even if we die. ! ! ”
Obviously there were only a dozen eunuchs, but they screamed something that shocked the whole hospital.
Ying Chengxiao said warmly: "It is not my kindness, but your hard work that deserves this reward!"
"I am often not in the palace. If you can take good care of my mother on my behalf, I will feel at ease." That’s it!”
The eunuchs did not get up, but grabbed the ground with their heads: “As long as I have one breath left, I will not let the lady do anything wrong!”
“If you violate this oath, your Majesty will do it! It won’t be tolerated! The ghosts and gods will not tolerate it!”
His voice comes from his heart.
His words lead directly to the underworld.
Listening to this roar, which seemed like she wanted to dig out her heart, liver, spleen and lungs and prove it to Ying Chengyu, the Queen Mother Huayang looked at Mrs. Han and said in a complicated voice: "You are a capable person."
In the harem, loyalty is both lacking and important.
Eunuchs, a group like palace ladies who have direct access to concubines, have a humble status, but if they have evil intentions, they will be a nightmare for all harem women, including the queen mother. And if they are loyal, the harem will It is difficult for women to worry about their lives. Ying Chengyu's move not only gained the loyalty of the remaining eunuchs, but also made every eunuch in the Chang'an Palace loyal to Mrs. Han in the future.
Even if outsiders offer more money and benefits, it will be difficult to impress the eunuchs of Chang'an Palace.
After all, anyone can give them money, but the only ones who can allow them to be buried in the cemetery in the east of Chang'an Township and enjoy incense and sacrifice forever are Mrs. Han and Ying Chengyu!
The Queen Mother Huayang has no doubt that through Ying Chengyu's move, even if Mrs. Han is old and dim in the future and loses her current skills, Chang'an Palace will be firmly controlled by Mrs. Han. She will never There is a suspicion of betrayal!
Mrs. Han showed a beautiful smile: "The Queen Mother is too generous."
"I am a blessed person."
"Before he did this, he never told Gu Yan."
"Think of it, I never thought about the impact of his move. He just thought that the eunuch would have no heirs and would be hard to reward, but he didn't want to hurt the eunuch. That’s why I did this.”
“If it weren’t for this, I would never have forgotten the eunuch of Huayang Palace.”
Compared to the Queen Mother of Huayang, Mrs. Han was more cautious. Get to know Ying Chengyu.
If Ying Chengyu wanted to achieve something through that altar, he would definitely communicate with Mrs. Han through letters first.
Now that Ying Chengyuan suddenly announced this, it was probably because Ying Chengyuan himself didn't take it seriously. He just mentioned it to Ying Zheng casually, and Ying Zheng agreed.
Ying Chengyu just treats the eunuchs as human beings and respects the efforts and sacrifices of the eunuch group.
That’s all!
After being silent for a few seconds, the Queen Mother Huayang looked at Ying Chengyu with complicated eyes: "I was born in the royal family, but I exchanged my kindness for kindness."
"How rare!"
< br>
Facts have proved that Ying Chengyu did not regard setting up an altar for eunuchs as a big deal.
After a few words of comfort, Ying Chengyu turned around and took a seat, bringing the topic back to the topic:
"As for the gentlemen here, I am ashamed to say that the Chang'an Palace is empty."< br>
"I can only give each person five thousand as a reward."
All the guests couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But Ying Chengyu spent so much money and raised them for so many years, so he made them work hard.
Now they have not only received a reward from the court, but also received five thousand coins from Ying Chengxiang. No one can blame Yingchengxiang, so all the guests still raised their hands and shouted: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Chengxiao smiled and nodded: "Gentlemen, there is no need to be polite."
"It is getting dark tonight, and I have to gather you gentlemen together. It is because I have two I have to trouble you gentlemen.”
“First of all, during this expedition, I was repeatedly stabbed in the back by local powerful people in Jianghan, and even powerful people from many cities joined forces to kill officials and rebel!”
"When I return to my teacher, I get more and more angry as I think about it, but I don't know how to break this situation!"
"Therefore, I hope that you gentlemen can use your talents and learning to share my worries."
Listen. When Ying Chengxuan said this, the thoughts of all the guests could not help but change.
Is this sharing of worries?
No!
This is clearly a test! It’s even more of an opportunity for them to be promoted!
Zhang Sheng immediately stood up and held up his hands and asked: "May I ask your Majesty, do you intend to use killing to relieve hatred, or do you intend to stabilize Jianghan with policies?"
"Although the people of the country who caused chaos are powerful, Jianghan is the main land, but there are many others. Are you willing to catch them all in one go?"
Ying Chengyu looked at Zhang Sheng thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhang, you should know that I am too lazy, let alone lazy. Let’s think about which strategy is more appropriate.”
“Even if I think it through, whether this strategy can be implemented still depends on the king’s mind.”
"So Mr. Zhang does not need to think about what I want, but what the Qin Dynasty should do."
"I will not read Mr. Zhang's strategy anyway."
"These troublesome things , I will leave them all to my elder brother!”
Ying Chengxuan’s words follow naturally, as if he is really a playboy who wants to achieve his goal but is unwilling to put in the effort.
But all the diners are standing on their heads!
They are obviously talented, why do they want to be Ying Chengxuan's clients?
Isn’t it because they don’t have access to Ying Zheng and don’t have the opportunity to show off their talents?
All the diners reacted.
The five thousand dollars was just a reward given by Yingcheng Xiangming.
Ying Chengyu’s real reward is to give all those who dare to fight a chance to show their talents directly in front of Ying Zheng!
Ying Chengyu continued to speak casually: "Second."
"This time I set out to conquer Lantian County as a fiefdom. So far, I have four counties and one township as a fiefdom."
>"Of course, you gentlemen all know that I am too lazy to manage so many fiefdoms."
"When the king awards a reward this time, I want to refuse it, but I don't know how to refuse it. , and how to resolve the king's good intentions."
"Please, gentlemen, think about me."
"If I succeed in fighting again, how can I refuse the fiefdom given by the king?"
Listening to Ying Chengyu's words, some of the disciples looked strange.
That’s a fiefdom!
How many people want to get a piece of fiefdom at the risk of their entire clan’s life!
But you think there are too many fiefdoms and it takes a lot of effort to manage them, so you don’t want more fiefdoms?
You want us, a group of people who don't even have a fiefdom, to help you think about how to refuse?
This is no different from a wealthy man who owns all the real estate in several cities and is troubled by the difficulty of collecting rent, and then asks his employees who can’t even afford the down payment to help him figure out how to do it. How can we not acquire more real estate?
Listen to your own words.
How presumptuous!
