In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
The sunlight shines through the window sill on the yellowed paper on the bookcase.
After being exposed to sunlight, the mottled black and red marks on the yellowed paper stood out particularly dazzlingly.
"Is this?" Xu Yi already had a guess in his heart, but still asked uncertainly.
Zuo Shengyuan wiped the turbid tears on his cheeks and said slowly: "Back to your lord, this is the roster of more than 1,500 soldiers who participated in the night attack with Pan Lianghu."
When Xu Yi heard this, he secretly thought, 'Sure enough, that's the case. ,
Without waiting for Xu Yi to ask further questions, Zuo Shengyuan slowly spoke again: "Before Pan Lianghu died, he ordered his servants to find his slaves. Please make sure to see him one last time."
As Zuo Shengyuan slowly narrated, the past events of more than 20 years ago slowly opened again.
After Pan Lianghu and another scarred soldier delivered the news to Prince Yan's Mansion, they saw that the former Crown Prince of Yan had not shown up at all.
No more news came.
At that time, Pan Lianghu seemed to understand something. He slowly knelt down facing the Chengyun Hall, kowtowed three times, stood up, laughed with another scarred soldier, and helped each other out of Prince Yan's Mansion.
For more than ten days since then, Prince Yan's Mansion has been preparing for the funeral affairs of the former Prince of Yan.
Except for Zuo Shengyuan, who couldn't bear it and went to Pan's house a few times to visit, no one from the entire Prince Yan's residence came to visit.
Later, the body of the former King of Yan was transported to Chang'an City and buried in the royal tomb.
The crown prince of the former King of Yan and his family escorted the soul of the former King of Yan back to his hometown.
At that time, the edict of the former Crown Prince of Yan requesting the title of a county prince had already reached Juyang City.
Just three days before the former Prince Yan was about to leave.
Pan Lianghu could no longer hold on. Just when his life was about to come to an end, Pan Lianghu sent someone to find Zuo Shengyuan.
The roster of warriors who had participated in the night attack and all died in the battle was solemnly entrusted to Zuo Shengyuan.
I hope that he can take care of the remnants of those who died in the battle as much as possible within the scope of his ability.
Pan Lianghu didn't know at the time that there were only three days left before the former Crown Prince of Yan left Juyang City.
And once I leave, I fear that I will never return to Yan land again in this life.
Zuo Shengyuan did not tell Pan Lianghu this cruel fact.
In fact, even if Zuo Shengyuan wanted to tell him, there was no chance.
After Pan Lianghu entrusted the roster to Zuo Shengyuan, he left this world forever.
After Zuo Shengyuan got the roster, he immediately presented it to the former Prince of Yan.
It was a pity that the crown prince of the former King of Yan was about to go to Beijing to deal with the affairs of the former Queen of Yan and prepare for the ceremony to confer the title of Prince of Jiyin.
Where do you still have the energy to care about some 'irrelevant' people and things?
Having said this, Zuo Shengyuan smiled bitterly, shook his head slowly and said, "I will never forget what the Crown Prince said that day."
After finishing his words, Zuo Shengyuan took a few deep breaths and then continued talking.
After the former Prince Yan clearly ignored it, Zuo Shengyuan picked up the roster that the former Prince Yan had casually thrown on the ground.
Then he quietly exited Chengyun Hall.
For the next two days, Zuo Shengyuan held the blood-stained papers in his arms all day long.
As the last day was approaching, Zuo Shengyuan solemnly put down the blood-stained paper in his hand.
Nearly three hundred internal officials from the Flattery Department were summoned overnight.

Zuo Shengyuan did not elaborate on what was said and what happened that night.
He only said that after that night, the former Prince of Yan severely reprimanded him for gathering officials without authorization.
Zuo Shengyuan also took this opportunity to plead guilty and resign.
After that day, Zuo Shengyuan left the Yan Palace with one hundred and thirty-six flattery officials.
Since then, Zuo Shengyuan and his 136 flattering clerks have been busy making money while taking care of the legacy of the more than 1,500 warriors.
Just like this, more than twenty years
Hurrying by, the middle-aged eunuch who was in the prime of life seemed to have entered his sixtieth year.
One hundred and thirty-six flattering officials also died and scattered in these more than twenty years.
As of now, there seem to be only fifty-one people left.
After Zuo Shengyuan finished speaking, he seemed to have lost all his energy and energy. He sat blankly on the Taishi chair and silently shed tears.
Xu Yi calmed down and poured the already cold tea in Zuo Shengyuan's tea cup into the inkstone.
Then he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of steaming hot tea into it.
"Zuo Feng." Xu Yi put down the teapot and slowly pushed the teacup towards Zuo Shengyuan.
Zuo Shengyuan came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him, and then he was about to stand up and kneel down, but his mind suddenly recalled Xu Yi's previous order saying, "You are not allowed to kneel down."
Zuo Shengyuan had no choice but to bow his hands and salute, full of concerns: "This slave is old and may die soon."
"However, among the more than 1,500 warriors of the past, there are still more than 500 who are still living in dire straits."
"I dare to ask you, Your Majesty, for the sake of those soldiers who died fighting for the Zhou Dynasty."
"After the slaves die, take care of them as much as possible."
"besides......"
"besides......"
"Besides this, there are the fifty-one remaining colleagues of this slave..."
As he spoke, Zuo Shengyuan lowered his head deeply, and his voice became softer and softer.
Xu Yi didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Those soldiers fought for the country and were buried in horse leather for the dignity of the royal family."
"As the new King of Yan, how can I just sit back and ignore his legacy?"
"You, the one hundred and thirty-seven flattering officials, have been working for this for more than twenty years. You are loyal and righteous."
"How can I just sit back and watch you grow old and have nothing to support?"
Xu Yi stood up slowly, then bowed deeply to Zuo Shengyuan and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zuo, these two matters will be taken care of by Xiao Wang."
One sentence is Zuo Lao, the other is Xiao Wang.
Zuo Shengyuan was filled with fear at first, and then...
There was nothing in his eyes except muddy tears.
"Thank you...Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Slave... I will not be able to repay you in this life. In the next life... I will be a slave and a horse for the prince in the next life."
Zuo Shengyuan stood up slowly and knelt down towards Xu Yi tremblingly.
Just when he was about to kowtow.
Xu Yi quickly stepped forward and helped him up, saying repeatedly: "You can't do it, Mr. Zuo can't do it."
"I can't help you. How dare I bear the title of a prince?" Zuo Shengyuan waved his hand in refusal.
Xu Yi said with a serious face: "Mr. Zuo deserves to be called an old man by doing this."
After he finished speaking, Zuo Shengyuan was about to refuse again.

Xu Yi had no choice but to change his mind and continue to be worthy of his original official position in the future.
Zuo Shengyuan was completely relieved after hearing this.
After this was done, Xu Yi tilted his head slightly and said, "Zhao Shou."
"Zhao Shou is here." Zhao Shou saluted hurriedly upon hearing this.
Xu Yi looked at Zhao Shou and said, "Send Zuo Fengcheng and fifty-one old men to the Fengcheng Department to rest."
"In addition, all the good doctors from the Good Medical Clinic are ordered to go to the Fengcheng Department to check the health of Zuo Fengcheng and others."
"Instruct the Dianshan Office to prepare some mild and nourishing medicinal food for him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shou cupped his hands and replied: "I obey the order."
"Your Majesty..." Zuo Shengyuan looked at Xu Yi with red eyes after hearing this. He opened his mouth several times but could not utter any other words except "Your Majesty."
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and said with a serious face: "Don't worry Zuo Fengcheng, as long as I am here, the hard years in the past will be completely over. Go ahead."
Zuo Shengyuan's face was covered with tears. He opened his mouth several times again, but still could not utter a single word.
Word.
In desperation, Zuo Shengyuan had to silently bow his hands and bow deeply.
Then he followed Zhao Shou slowly out of the side hall study.
After the two left, Xu Yi slowly walked to the Taishi's chair and took a seat.
Then he leaned back, placed his hands naturally on the armrests, closed his eyes and relaxed his body as much as possible.
After your body is completely relaxed, you can then think carefully about today's events in your mind.
Ever since Zuo Shengyuan told the old story that had been sealed for more than twenty years.
It is no longer important how many of the fifty-two people left in the Flattery Department have become Sun Daohua and Li Yu's informants.
So what if all these fifty-two people are the informants of Sun Daohua and Li Yu?
With this dusty past history alone, it was impossible for Xu Yi to keep these people away.
but.
Not turning them away does not mean that Xu Yi will let them enter the interior of Prince Yan's palace.
After a while, Xu Yi opened his eyes and stood up slowly. He picked up the ink stick and grinded the ink, while rehearsing the final plan in his mind.
Crisis, crisis, danger and opportunity coexist!
What Xu Yi has to do now is not to simply resolve the danger.
It's about resolving dangers while seizing fleeting opportunities.
After grinding the ink, Xu Yi took out a piece of white rice paper and slowly laid it on the bookcase.
Then he took his seat and picked up his pen.
After a while, several keywords suddenly appeared on the rice paper.
"Sun Daohua, the county guard, and Li Yu, the captain of Pinglu School."
"Former flattery officer Zuo Shengyuan of the Flattery Department."
"Fifty-one former flattery officials."
"Shi Pan Lianghu, the former chief minister of the Prince of Yan's Palace."
"The battle to recapture the body of the former King Yan."
"More than 1,500 warriors and their legacy."
Xu Yi slowly put down the langhao pen in his hand, his eyes motionless looking at several keywords on the rice paper.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yi raised his hands and put them to his mouth.
A crisp whistle full of rhythm and charm came from Xu Yi's mouth.
After a while, Leader Wenxin, dressed as a servant of Prince Yan's Palace, hurried into the study.
"Wen Xin meets the master." After the leader of Wen Xin closed the study door, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, picked up several yellowed papers placed beside the book, and handed them to the leader Wenxin.

He ordered: "Deploy ten people to ask questions, and select twenty people from this roster to conduct an in-depth investigation."
"Among the twenty people selected, there are five from Juyang City, five from the remaining counties in Shanggu County, five from Yuyang City, and five from the remaining counties in Yuyang County."
Leader Wenxin took the roster and solemnly said, "Follow the order."
Xu Yi paused, and then continued to give instructions: "In addition, ten more people will be assigned to ask questions to secretly investigate Zuo Shengyuan's past. Be sure to go into detail."
"Finally, assign five people to ask their hearts and secretly monitor every move in the Flattery Division."
After finishing his words, the leader of Wenxin said with a serious face: "Follow the order!"
After the leader Wenxin left, Xu Yi opened the rice paper with the keywords written on it.
After laying the paper again, I started writing and drawing on the rice paper again.
After a while, Xu Yi slowly put down the pen in his hand and looked at the pictures on the rice paper calmly.
Dozens of houses of the same size were clearly arranged on the rice paper.
Except for a few buildings in the center marked as three-story, the rest of the buildings are all one-story buildings.
An open space of the same size is reserved at the front and rear of each one-story building.
At the edge of the open space, Xu Yi sketched out a fence pattern with a few simple strokes.
On the lower right corner of the rice paper were written three small words - Nursing Home.
While Xu Yi was staring blankly at the nursing home, Zhao Shou slowly walked out.
Xu Yi came back to his senses and waved his hand towards Zhao Shou outside the door.
"Sixth Master." Seeing this, Zhao Shou couldn't help but quicken his pace and quickly walked into the side hall study.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, picked up the rice paper on the bookcase and handed it to Zhao Shou.
Then he ordered: "Send people to the city to purchase 800 pieces of wood and find more than 100 carpenters."
"In addition, you personally go outside the city, choose a place near mountains and rivers, and buy two hundred acres of land."
"After everything is settled, a nursing home will be built at the selected location."
Zhao Shou took the rice paper and said loudly without even looking at it: "Follow the order."
Xu Yi paused and continued, "Let Lu Wensu come to the study."
"As ordered." Zhao Shou agreed, then turned around and walked quickly out of the study.
After a while, Lu Wensu walked into the side hall study room in a hurry.
"Your Majesty Lu Wensu, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness King Yan." Lu Wensu bowed his hands and saluted.
Although vassal Lu Zaizhong did not come in person this time, he sent his nephew.
What this means is naturally self-evident.
Xu Yi reciprocated the favor, and promoted him to the position of Chief Secretary of History when he embarked on the road to becoming a feudal vassal.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then ordered: "Draft a notice immediately and post it in front of the four gates of Juyang City."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi slowly repeated roughly the story Zuo Shengyuan told today.
and clarified the core content of the notice.
Inform the two counties of Yan and Di about this matter, and make it clear that the new King of Yan will build a nursing home outside Juyang City.
Its purpose is simple and clear, that is, to support fifty-two loyal people, including Zuo Shengyuan, and more than 1,500 warriors who are unable to take care of themselves.
In addition, Xu Yi specifically pointed out that this nursing home is just the beginning.
In the future, more nursing homes will be invested in the construction of more nursing homes to support veterans who are widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, old, sick, and poor and unable to survive on their own.
After the explanation is completed.
Xu Yi composed himself and immediately ordered: "After the notice is completed, submit it to this place."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wensu raised his hands and saluted, saying, "Follow the order."
After Lu Wensu left, Xu Yi spread out a new piece of rice paper and slowly started planning the follow-up.
For Xu Yi, if he wants to completely establish himself in Yandi, the most indispensable thing is the support of the people of the two counties.
It can also be understood as the will of the people.
The people of Yan admired bravery and believed in loyalty.
It won't take long after the news about Zuo Shengyuan comes out to cause a storm in Shanggu and Yuyang counties.
What Xu Yi has to do is seize this opportunity.
With one thing in the nursing home, he completely captured the trust of veterans from both counties.
And then establish his own image in the hearts of the people of Yan, so as to gain a foothold and a reputation.
Of course, this is just the first step Xu Yi needs to take.
The emperor who came out of Zongzheng Temple through the ages.
