The front yard of the main hall of Chang'an Junfu is very large, but it still can't accommodate more than a thousand guests.

In the past, Mrs. Han and Mi Tian would arrange the people who were most valued by Ying Cheng Chan or those who needed to be valued by Ying Cheng Chan in the front yard, and the second ones were arranged in the left and right courtyards according to the number of times the guests were summoned by Ying Cheng Chan, the strength of the family, the evaluation of talent and learning, and the strength of their contributions.

Today, however, there is only one criterion for the ranking of seats.

Military merit!

Those who bravely killed the enemy in the defense of Xianyang City can sit on the top even if they have not been summoned by Yingcheng.

Anyone who has 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 far corner of the courtyard, was relaxed, and while happily looking at Zhang Sheng sitting in the main courtyard, he also deliberately adjusted his body shape to let Ying Cheng disappear from his line of sight.

On the high platform, Ying Chengcheng raised the wine lord: "This gentleman is out on the march, not afraid of the enemy's strength, but afraid of changes at home." ”

"In this battle, all the family members of this monarch are safe, thanks to all of you who bravely killed the enemy and sacrificed their lives to protect each other!"

"I respect you!"

The words fell, and Ying Cheng was full of wine.

All the doormen hurriedly got up and bowed their hands, full of water: "Your Excellency is polite." ”

"The king will support us and others, and we will sacrifice our lives to help!"

Raising a priest is not charity.

The purpose of the monk is to use the soldier!

Ying Cheng Chan eats and drinks well for their whole family, and pays them a salary every month, if they sit back and watch Ying Cheng Chan's family in danger, they are indifferent.

Is that still human!

The maid poured wine, and Ying Chengcheng sighed softly: "In this battle, my Chang'an Junfu is fighting first." ”

"One hundred and three eunuchs, three hundred and ninety-one eunuchs, seven hundred and eighty-seven family soldiers, two thousand two hundred and five servants, and six hundred and thirty-one gentlemen died in Xianyang City!"

"Wow!"

"Woe!"

In this battle, Mrs. Han, the Empress Dowager Huayang, Ying Zheng and Mi Tian were not injured.

But why can they stand in the most conspicuous position on the battlefield without being injured?

More than half of the eunuchs of Chang'an Junfu and Chang'an Palace were killed in battle, sixty percent of the eunuchs were killed in battle, forty percent of the family soldiers were killed in battle, more than half of the servants were killed in battle, and nearly thirty percent of the doormen were killed in battle!

After a big battle, too many familiar old faces in the house died on the battlefield.

They used their lives to protect Mrs. Han very well.

They also used their lives to practice what it means to raise a soldier for a hundred days, and a soldier dies for you!

Even if this battle wins and kills a lot of enemies, and his subordinates die a lot.

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 touch of sadness and gratitude in his heart.

Ying Chengcheng stood up and held up the wine lord: "This lord, respect the righteous man!" ”

When the words fell, Ying Chengcheng poured the wine on the ground.

The full house of servants bowed their heads, and the gentlemen all toasted.

The faint smell of wine stirred up in the courtyard, comforting the heroic souls who died in battle.

After ten breaths of silence, Ying Chengcheng continued to speak: "The righteous fight to the death for this monarch, and this monarch cannot be unjust." ”

"All those who died in the battle of Chang'an Junfu and Chang'an Palace, regardless of their identity, everyone will be given 10,000 yuan, and their families will be supported by my Chang'an Junfu for life."

"The children and heirs of the unsuccessful can be taught by the Dharma officials in my Chang'an Jun's Mansion, and if they are excellent in learning, this monarch will personally test and teach their homework."

All the doormen, servants, and maids present all had their eyes lit up, and they all shouted in unison:

"Chang'an Jun Rende!"

Although the 10,000 yuan given by Ying Chengcheng was heavy, it was only insignificant compared to the promise behind it.

The heirs can enter the Chang'an Junfu to study their homework, and they can even get the personal examination and teaching of Ying Chengcheng!

Who doesn't envy Zhang Liang who can learn from Ying Chengcheng's side?

Now, everyone has the potential to become Zhang Liang!

Ying Cheng's promise is not over: "In this battle, the eunuchs of Chang'an Palace are also extraordinary. ”

"This monarch has been promised by the king, can build an altar in the east of Chang'an Township, and all the eunuchs who died in this battle are buried around this altar, and the eunuchs are sent to worship the palace maids every year."

"In the future, the eunuchs who have meritorious service in the Chang'an Palace can also be buried here after the Shangyu Sect and enjoy the sacrifice."

Hearing Ying Cheng's words, the dozen or so eunuchs in the side courtyard who came to help were stunned.

As eunuchs, it is their destiny to have no queen.

In this era of extremely serious superstitious thoughts, there is no queen and extinction, which is undoubtedly the deepest blow to a person.

Although they can ensure a sacrifice for decades after death by taking in their relatives, it is not something that any eunuch is qualified to do.

Now, Ying Cheng has opened up a way for all eunuchs to enjoy the sacrificial incense forever!

All the eunuchs in the courtyard knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in worship: "Chang'an Jun is kind and virtuous, and the humble people will never forget!" ”

"In order to repay the king's kindness, I will not give up until I die!!"

Obviously there were only a dozen eunuchs, but they roared and shouted out the words that shook the whole courtyard.

Ying Cheng said softly: "It's not the grace of this king, but your hard work deserves this reward!" ”

"Benjun is often not in the palace, you can take care of your mother on behalf of Benjun, and Benjun is at ease!"

The eunuchs did not get up, but grabbed the ground with their heads: "I wait, but there is still one breath, and I will not let the lady have the slightest difference!" ”

"If you violate this oath, the emperor will not tolerate it! Thick soil is not acceptable! Ghosts and gods are abandoned! Dead in body and soul! ”

Its voice and its sound come from the heart.

It swears and swears, straight to the Yellow Spring.

Listening to this roar that seemed to dig out the heart, liver, spleen and lungs to prove to Ying Chengcheng, the Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Mrs. Han with a complicated voice: "You are a capable person." ”

In the harem, he lacks loyalty the most, and he also values loyalty the most.

The eunuchs, a group that can have direct access to concubines with palace maids, are of low status, but if they have bad intentions, it will be a nightmare for all harem women, including the queen mother, and if they are loyal, it will be difficult for harem women to worry about their lives.

Ying Chengcheng's move not only collected 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 come up with more money and benefits, it is difficult to impress the hearts of the eunuchs of Chang'an Palace.

After all, anyone can give money, but the only people who can bury them in the cemetery in the east of Chang'an Township and enjoy the incense sacrifice forever are Mrs. Han and Ying Chengcheng!

The Empress Dowager Huayang has no doubt that through Ying Chengcheng's move, even if Mrs. Han is old and faint in the future and has no current skills, Chang'an Palace will be firmly controlled by Mrs. Han, and there will be no suspicion of betrayal!

Mrs. Han showed a beautiful smile: "The Queen Mother is too famous." ”

"Lonely is only a blessed one."

"I haven't told Gu Yan before doing this."

"I don't think that this move will have any impact, but I just thought that the eunuch would be rewarded, but he didn't want to chill the eunuch's heart, so he just did it."

"If it weren't for that, Chan'er would definitely not forget the eunuch of Huayang Palace."

Compared with the Empress Dowager Huayang, Mrs. Han knows Ying Chengcheng better.

If Ying Chengcheng wanted to achieve something through that altar, he would inevitably communicate with Mrs. Han first.

Now Ying Cheng Chan suddenly announced the matter, probably because Ying Cheng Chan himself didn't take this matter seriously, but just casually mentioned it to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng spoiled him.

Ying Chengcheng just treats the eunuchs as human beings, and respects the efforts and sacrifices of the eunuch group.

That's all!

After the Empress Dowager Huayang was silent for a few breaths, she looked at Ying Chengcheng with complicated eyes: "Born in the royal family, but exchange benevolence for benevolence." ”

"How rare!"

It turns out that Ying Chengcheng really didn't regard the erection of an altar to the eunuch as a big deal.

After a few words of appeasement, Ying Chengcheng turned around and sat down, bringing the topic back to the topic:

"As for all the gentlemen here, I am ashamed to say that the Chang'an Junfu is empty."

"The king can only give each man five thousand as a reward."

The crowd of visitors couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But Ying Chengcheng spent so much money and raised them for so many years, which was what made them work hard.

Now they have not only received the reward of the imperial court, but also won the five thousand dollars of Ying Cheng, no one can say that Ying Chengcheng is not, so all the guests still shouted: "Ministers, thank you!" ”

Ying Cheng smiled and bowed his head: "Gentlemen, you don't need to be polite. ”

"It's dark tonight, and I want to gather all the gentlemen, because I have two things to worry about you."

"First, Benjun went on this expedition, but he was repeatedly backstabbed by the local powerful people in Jianghan Land, and many Chinese people in many cities joined forces to kill officials and rebel!"

"Benjun returned to the teacher, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he didn't know how to break this situation!"

"Therefore, I hope that all gentlemen can share their worries based on talent and learning."

Hearing Ying Chengcheng's words, the crowd couldn't help but turn their minds quickly.

Is this a worry?

No!

This is clearly a test of teaching! It's also an opportunity for them to be promoted!

Zhang Sheng immediately got up and asked: "Dare to ask the king, does the king intend to kill and relieve hatred, or do you intend to stabilize Jianghan?" ”

"And although the people of the country who are in turmoil are mainly in Jianghan and Han, there are many places left, can you have the heart to catch them all?"

Ying Chengcheng looked at Zhang Sheng meaningfully: "Mr. Zhang should know that Benjun is lazy, and he is even more lazy to think about which strategy is more suitable." ”

"Even if Benjun thinks it well, whether this policy can be implemented depends on the king's mind."

"So Mr. Zhang doesn't need to think about what Benjun wants, but should think about what Daqin should do."

"Anyway, Benjun won't look at Mr. Zhang's strategy."

"These troublesome things, this gentleman will throw them all to the eldest brother to deal with!"

Ying Chengcheng's words follow naturally, as if he is really a second generation who wants to achieve his goal but is unwilling to put in the effort.

But the hairs of all the doormen are doing a handstand!

They are obviously talented, why do they want to come to Yingcheng as a guest?

Isn't it because they can't get in touch with Yingzheng and don't have the opportunity to show their talents!

All the doormen reacted.

The 5,000 dollars were just a reward given by Ying Cheng Ming.

Ying Chengcheng'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 Cheng continued to speak casually: "Second." ”

"This time Benjun went out to conquer Lantian County as a fief, so far, Benjun has a fief of four counties and one township."

"However, all the gentlemen know that Benjun is lazy, and he is really too lazy to manage so many fiefdoms."

"When the king rewarded this time, this monarch wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to refuse, and how to resolve the king's good intentions."

"I would like to ask you gentlemen to think about you."

"If this monarch wins another battle, how can he refuse the fief given by the king?"

Listening to Ying Cheng's words, some doormen looked strange.

That's a fief!

How many people do not hesitate to risk the lives of the whole clan in exchange for a fief!

But you think there are too many fiefs, and you don't want more fiefs?

You're going to ask a bunch of people who don't even have a fiefdom to help you think about how to refuse?

How is this different from a super-rich man who owns all the properties in several cities and is fretting about the difficulty of collecting rent, and then asks his employees who can't even afford a down payment to help him think about how he can not get more properties?

Hear for yourself.

What a presumptuous!
