Those who used to be cold and warm to them can't get money, and they are afraid that they will change their attitude faster than anyone else! There were also some eunuchs who simply had their money taken away by the sons they recognized, and they lost all their personal wealth. Countless eunuchs died miserably!
As for the low-level eunuchs, the situation is even worse. Which high-ranking family dares to use eunuchs? Except for the royal family members, anyone who dares to use eunuchs is guilty of treason! This alone cuts off their way of survival! As for asking them to do other work, they are too old and frail to do it at all!
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!
Therefore, in the palace, both the eunuchs and the maids showed a strong desire for money. This is not because of their psychological problems, but because of their objective needs for survival! So naturally they will do anything for money and have 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 sacrifice after their death, and there will be no blood food! That's why Liu Haojia encouraged Emperor Wanli to build a temple for the palace people to offer sacrifices! Although it is just a Taoist temple outside the royal cemetery and not a place specifically for them to place their memorial tablets, at least after the Taoist temple is established, their souls have something to rely on. This is the last dream of these people who have no home!
The reason Liu Haojia came up with these two ideas was to reduce the palace people's desire for money and increase their loyalty. Although not doing this cannot guarantee their 100% loyalty, it can at least increase their loyalty a lot!
As long as they think about it, if Emperor Wanli dies one day, will anyone still spend money to support them in their old age? Absolutely not! Therefore, there may still be news of betrayal, but once it comes to the safety of Emperor Wanli, except for a few people, I am afraid there will be people risking their lives to report it!
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 must 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 palace people below were inexplicably grateful, and they neatly shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty!" and kowtowed to Emperor Wanli neatly!
Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, stop kowtowing. We have kowtowed enough today! Zhang Jia will tell you the specific details below!"
At this time, he had already tidied up his clothes, took out a book from his arms and read aloud. The people below raised their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word!
In fact, the solution provided by Liu Haojia is not complicated at all. The first point is that it is based on the principle of voluntariness. After all, some high-level eunuchs and maids have already accumulated enough wealth, and they are not willing to mix with many low-level palace people. There are also some family members who have humane feelings and will take people back to support them. People like this don't need to be supported by Huangzhuang.
The remaining low-level palace people who can support themselves, for example, those who can work as a nanny in a wealthy family are not included in the support list. The rest are simply homeless low-level palace residents, who will be supported in several places. At the same time, someone will organize them to do some simple tasks, which can subsidize their 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 worship of Taoist temples.
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 taking advantage of it! But at least his method gave the palace people a way to survive and ensured that most people would not die unexpectedly. This was worthy of his conscience!
Zhang Jia quickly read out all the requirements, and 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 rootless people 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, 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, including ordinary palace people. The reason for this arrangement is to prevent you from being out of shape after spreading the news! So after you go back, We must spread Lord Long Live’s will as it is! No more, no less, do you understand?”
This time, the responses from the people below were much more orderly. Seeing their faces flushed with excitement, Zhang Jia also felt his heart boiling with excitement! Zhang Jia believed that if Emperor Wanli was in any danger at this time, hundreds of people in front of him would be able to rush over and protect him!
But once the matter is done, no one can gather here again. So he waved for everyone to leave. These palace people retreated, but the ministers at all levels had some dignity in front of Emperor Wanli. These people stayed until the end, leaving a basketful of flattery for Emperor Wanli before leaving.
Seeing that everyone had left, Emperor Wanli let out a sigh of relief, turned to Liu Haojia and said, "Liu Aiqing did a good job today, and you have done a good job in escorting me!"
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: "My dear, there is no need to be humble! It's just that the matter has not been completed, so I can't reward you heavily 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 am 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 of them said goodbye reluctantly, the news announced by Emperor Wanli had already caused an uproar in the palace!
