Those who were originally cold and warm to them could not get the money, and they were afraid that they would change their attitude faster than anyone else! Some eunuchs simply had their money taken away by the sons they recognized, and they lost their personal wealth, and even died miserably.
There are countless of them!
As for the low-level eunuchs, it is even worse. Who in the high-ranking family dares to use eunuchs? Except for relatives of the emperor, daring to use eunuchs is a crime of treason! This alone will cut off their way of survival! As for letting them do other things
I am too old and frail to do the work!
So most of them ended up very miserable, which is why the palace people are so greedy! Because they have nothing to rely on for the rest of their lives and can only rely on money to defend themselves. This is the only thing they can rely on!
So in the palace, both the eunuchs and the maids showed a strong desire for money. This is not because they have a psychological problem, but because they have an objective need to survive! So naturally they will do anything for money.
There is no loyalty at all!
And the more important point is that many people in this era may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid that there will be no one to offer sacrifices after their death, and there will be less blood food! That’s why Liu Haojia encouraged Emperor Wanli to set up temples for the palace people to offer sacrifices! Although it was only in the royal cemetery
Setting up a Taoist temple outside is not a place specifically for them to place memorial tablets, but at least after the Taoist temple is established, their souls will have something to rely on. This is already the last dream of these people without a home!
The reason why Liu Haojia came up with these two ideas was to reduce the palace people's desire for money and improve their loyalty. Although this cannot guarantee their 100% loyalty, it can at least improve their loyalty a lot!
As long as they think about it, if Emperor Wanli dies one day, will anyone spend money to support them in their old age? Absolutely not! So there may still be news of betrayal, but once the safety of Emperor Wanli is involved, besides the young man,
Except for some people, I'm afraid someone will risk their own life to report the news!
The reason why Liu Hao's family arranged to do this was because he was not sure whether his intervention in Emperor Wanli's life and changing history would trigger a backlash! Because after he intervened, what Emperor Wanli did would definitely be different from the original history!
In this era when the power of civil servants reaches its extreme, his life is like a rootless floating duck, so he must protect Emperor Wanli to save his own life!
At this time, Emperor Wanli's mood had calmed down and he was full of pride again. He said loudly to the kneeling palace servants below: "What you did just now frightened me! But I know that you are just in a hurry, so I
I won’t hold you accountable!”
The people in the palace below were so grateful that they shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty!" in unison and kowtowed to Emperor Wanli in unison!
Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, stop kowtowing. We have kowtowed enough today! Zhang Jia will tell you the specific details below!"
At this time, I had already tidied my clothes and hat, took out a book from my arms and read aloud. The people below raised their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word!
In fact, the plan provided by Liu Haojia is not complicated at all. First of all, it is based on the principle of voluntariness. After all, some high-level eunuchs and palace maids have already accumulated enough wealth, and they are not willing to mix with many low-level palace people. Also
Some family members who have humane feelings will also take people back to support them. People like this don't need to be supported by the Imperial Village.
The remaining low-level palace people who can support themselves, for example, those who can work as nuns in a wealthy family are not included in the support list. The rest are simply homeless low-level palace people, who will
The support will be concentrated in several places. At the same time, someone will organize them to do some simple tasks to supplement their own lives.
As for setting up a Taoist temple outside the imperial mausoleum, it is even simpler, as long as you have money! You can even directly select a few people from these old palace officials to serve as Taoist priests, who are responsible for the operation and sacrifice of the Taoist temple.
Liu Haojia, who is well aware of the evil of human nature, understands that sooner or later something will go wrong after this set of things is put into operation! There will always be greedy people who take advantage of it! But at least his method gives the palace people a way to survive and ensures that most people will not
As for dying unexpectedly, this is worthy of his conscience!
Zhang Jia quickly read out all the requirements. Finally, he closed the book and said loudly: "Long live the Lord has given us a way to live, and also allowed us to have cigarettes as sacrifices after our death. This is a great kindness! We have no roots."
But we have to remember everything clearly! But since Lord Long Live has given us grace, we have to be aware of it! I won’t go into details about the rules in the palace. If anyone breaks the rules again in the future, please don’t say that our family is unkind!
"
After hearing Zhang Jia's words, the people below immediately agreed, completely losing the solemn atmosphere in the palace. The Zhang family waved their hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I called you here this time, and even
Including ordinary palace people. The reason for this arrangement is to prevent you from being out of shape when spreading the news! So after you go back, you must spread the will of Long Live Lord! No more, no less, do you understand?
?”
This time, the replies from the people below were much more orderly. Seeing their excited and flushed faces, Zhang Jia also felt that his heart was steaming! Zhang Jia believed that if there was any risk to Emperor Wanli at this time, the hundreds of people in front of him would
People are afraid that they can rush over and protect him firmly!
However, after the matter was done, no more people could gather here. So he waved for everyone to retreat. These palace people retreated, but the ministers at all levels had some face in front of Emperor Wanli, so these people stayed until the end to give Wanli
The emperor left behind a basket full of flattery.
Seeing that everyone had left, Emperor Wanli breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Liu Haojia and said, "Liu Aiqing did a good job today, and he protected you!"
Liu Haojia bowed and said: "Weak ministers have no merit, and those palace officials have no intention of causing trouble at all, they are just in a hurry!"
Emperor Wanli said with emotion: "If you love me, there is no need to be humble! It's just that the matter has not been completed, so I can't reward you now! When the matter is completed after a while, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
Liu Haojia bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! In addition, the decree has been read out, and I will leave!"
Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, please step back first! I'm a little tired after being tortured like this just now!"
Emperor Wanli turned around and returned to the palace, but Zhang Jia made an exception and sent Liu Haojia to the palace gate. When the two said goodbye, the news announced by Emperor Wanli had already caused an uproar in the palace!
