Chapter 805: Is it a kindness for a son to inherit his father’s legacy? Anti-superstition does not mean anti-sacrifice!
Generations of family soldiers are swaying their youth and sweat on the martial arts field under the personal training of Ying Chengyu. Even when they are so tired that they are paralyzed and lying on the ground, their chests are still rising and falling violently, and they are vomiting. Their energy.
But when they lay down on the martial arts field for the last time, Ying Chengyu could not make them stand up again, and they could only leave the martial arts field with a long period of death.
Ying Chengyu couldn't help but feel sad.
But Ying Chengyu understood better that his sorrow was of no use except bringing more lasting pain to the families of the victims!
Lifting the wine cup and drinking down the wine in one gulp, Ying Chengyun spoke with a particularly firm voice: "Sorrow can be left to the family members who sacrificed their lives, but it cannot be left to the son!"
"The son is not as sad as the son!" , How about doing something valuable?"
Mrs. Han said warmly: "Looking at all the dignitaries in the world, only my son would be so kind to the head of Guizhou."
"Looking at all the princes in the world, I am the only one who would treat you so well. My son will treat his family members so well.”
“My son’s triumph is what all the soldiers long for!”
"My son is good at raising the descendants of the sacrificed soldiers, so that they can become my son's soldiers in the future, and the sacrificed soldiers will definitely be relieved!"
In the opinion of Duan Fu and others, As long as they can protect Ying Chenglong in triumph, their sacrifices will have sufficient meaning.
They personally failed to live up to Ying Chengyu’s kindness.
Their family members can receive preferential treatment from Ying Chengyu.
Their fellow villagers can continue to follow Ying Chengyu in their lives.
If their children are promising enough and can catch Ying Chengyu's eye and take over their career, then even if they die tragically, they will still be deeply relieved!
However, Ying Chengxuan sighed bitterly: "Is it enough to comfort Duanfu by letting Aoer continue to be my soldier?"
Ying Chengxuan couldn't help but think about it.
I think that one day in the future, that innocent and ignorant child will stand in front of me and say: My father has served under the Lord. Today, I will finally be able to continue my father's legacy. I will definitely protect the Lord with my life. worry.
And one day a little further away, Ao'er covered in blood lay in his arms and laughed tremblingly: I have never been ashamed of my lord, nor my father. I hope that your lord will take care of my son. My son will be lucky enough to go on an expedition with your lord again!
In the more distant future, another young man stood in front of him and said: My father and my grandfather both served under the lord. Today, I can finally continue the legacy of my father and ancestors. I will definitely protect my lord without worries with my life.
Is this a gift? Is this enough to comfort the divorced husband?
Ying Chengyu is really unwilling but has to admit that for most people in this era, this is indeed a gift!
If Ying Chengyu doesn’t accept Yao’er as a soldier, not only will he not necessarily be able to live longer, but it will also most likely make Yao’er’s life worse!
Ying Chengxuan grabbed the wine jar and poured a dozen gulps of wine into his mouth.
Letting the wine flow to his chest, he slammed the wine jar on the table, unwilling but helpless and said in a hateful voice: "This is such a crappy world!"
"This is a crappy era!"
Mrs. Han stood up, poured wine for Ying Chengxuan, and asked in a warm voice: "What do you want, my son?"
Ying Chengxuan did not answer directly, but said in a deep voice: "This is a battle. After destroying Zhao Poyan, the eldest brother only gave Zhidao County as a food town."
"Really stingy!"
Lu Buwei: ┐(~)┌
Wang Jian: [_?]
Look at our rewards, and then look at your own rewards.
You call this stinginess?
Ying Chengxuan continued: "After the Battle of Handan, I built an altar in the east of Chang'an Township and buried all the eunuchs and maids who died in the battle under the altar. The meritorious eunuchs and maids who died later were also buried here. Every year, eunuchs and palace maids are sent to worship him. "As far as I know, eunuchs who can be buried here after death can be relieved even if their lives are not long."
"Therefore, I want to ask for another reward from my eldest brother."
" Zhun'er built another altar in the east of Chang'an Township and placed the bones or relics of the soldiers who died in the battles of our Chang'an Lord's Mansion in the past dynasties. Buried in the surrounding areas, they will be sacrificed by our Lord Chang'an every year!"
"After the sacrifice, all the objects used in the sacrifice will be scattered with the direct blood relatives of the family members who are still alive."
Ying Chengyu always adheres to the anti-superstition movement.
But as Ying Chengyu saw more and more death and pain, the ridicule of the sacrifices in Ying Chengyu's heart gradually dissipated.
In Ying Chengyu’s view, it is basically impossible for sacrifices to have any impact on the deceased, but sacrifices can bring comfort to the living!
A sacrificial ceremony conducted by Ying Chengyu himself can show that Ying Chengyu and the entire Chang'an Palace will never forget the sacrifices and contributions of these soldiers.
The sacrifices distributed to the soldiers and their families after the sacrifice can also improve their lives to some extent.
A sacrifice can bring spiritual comfort and material comfort to all the family members of the soldiers.
Ying Chengyu thinks this is necessary.
Mrs. Han's pupils shrank slightly, and she asked in shock: "My son, do you want to officiate?"
Ying Chengyu shook his head and said: "Although I am their lord, but But he is not a regular official, let alone a local official. "
"If my eldest brother allows me to build an altar in the Chang'an Palace to offer sacrifices, then I will be a regular official or someone with rank in Chang'an Township."
“My son will only provide sacrifices and try his best to attend the ceremony.”
Mrs. Han understood, and then sighed: "My son is really kind-hearted."
"If the king agrees to my son's strategy, then my son's soldiers will probably be the happiest group of people in the world. "
"There must be countless people in the world who will envy my son's soldiers."
"My sons' soldiers will also be loyal and loyal, and there will be no fear of betrayal. ! "
Xiao'er is not a permanent official nor a local chief official. According to the law, he does not have the power to preside over sacrifices. Naturally, Xiao'er will not openly defy the law and preside over sacrifices.
But as long as Xiu'er personally stands around the altar and provides the sacrifices with his own hands, does it matter who is the officiant of this sacrifice?
The sacrifice performed by Zai'er, who is recognized as Houtu's favorite in the world, will undoubtedly make all the dead souls favored by Houtu!
Mrs. Han has no doubt that as long as Ying Chengyu can get Yingzheng’s permission to formally set up an altar in the east of Chang’an Township, anyone who is qualified to become a soldier of Ying Chengyu will be able to serve as a high-ranking official, rich in salary, and sitting in the army. Even if he owns thousands of acres of fertile land, he will actively ask to become Ying Chengxuan’s soldier and will never betray him for the rest of his life!
Compared with the long-term preferential treatment after death, death before death is nothing!
Ying Chengyu looked at Mrs. Han with hesitation: "I always feel that my mother and concubine are thinking about something weird?"
"My mother and concubine should know that I don't understand ghosts and gods, and those people outside are talking nonsense."
"My son's intention to build an altar to worship the sacrificed soldiers is just to ask for permission from the family members of the sacrificed soldiers. They are just relieved."
Mrs. Han covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Ying Chengyu with helpless and doting eyes: "Mother Concubine understands"
"Mother Concubine is Ying Cheng'er. Feel proud!"
Ying Chengyu nodded and continued: "I hope that through the sacrifice, I can give the living more relief."
"Dan'er wants the sacrifices of his soldiers to be more valuable and meaningful!"
