Chapter 649: Kindness Is Always Achieved Through Comparison! Mother, I Miss You so Much!
Listening to the cheers at the entrance of the village, Madam Han's mouth drew a beautiful smile.
"Send the order to the orphan!" Madam Han shouted: "Play music!"
The musicians from Chang'an Palace and Chang'an Junfu were lined up on the left and right, from the main hall door of Chang'an Junfu, all the way to the door of Chang'an Junfu.
The sound of the zither and the sound of the zither.
The singing girls sang and the dancing girls flew in the air.
The symphony of hundreds of musicians spread out to the entire Chang'an Township with Chang'an Junfu as the center.
The guest house of Chang'an Junfu.
Zhang Pa looked up outside the courtyard in confusion: "Why did the princess suddenly play such a magnificent piece this time?"
Ying Chengjiao's triumphant return was not the first or second time.
Although Madam Han would personally greet Ying Chengjiao every time he triumphantly returned, she mostly just greeted her triumphant son as a mother. Except for the fact that there were more people welcoming him, there was not much difference from ordinary families.
But this time, Madam Han directly pulled out the pomp that the ladies and feudal lords were entitled to enjoy, and put on the most grand scene.
This is not in line with Madam Han's temperament!
Zhang Rang smiled: "It's because the princess is happy!"
Zhang Pa was more and more puzzled: "It's not the first time that Chang'an Jun has returned victorious."
"And there is no hatred between the princess and the State of Chu."
"Is it worth the princess to be so happy that Chang'an Jun destroyed Chu in this battle?"
Zhang Rang did not answer, but looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang immediately said obediently: "Liang thinks that it doesn't matter whether Chang'an Jun destroyed Chu, Zhao or Qi in this battle."
"Chang'an Jun flooded Xiapi City with water in this battle, and then personally beheaded King Qi of Chu, slaughtered all the royal family of Chu in Helu City, and killed the people of Chu."
"This is what is really worth the princess's happiness."
Zhang Pa was stunned again, and then thought: "But the source of happiness is not in Chu, but in Han?"
"Or should I say, in the Han people?"
Zhang Liang nodded in agreement: "Liang I think that this battle of Changan Jun should make the people of the old Han see clearly. "
"It seems cruel that Changan Jun destroyed Han in the past, but Changan Jun really took into account the feelings of relatives and showed mercy."
"In the past, Changan Jun borrowed the princess's handwriting to win over the people of the old Han, not because Changan Jun needed the people of the old Han to serve him, but because Changan Jun needed a reason not to kill the people of the old Han."
"So, princess, you are happy!"
The fact that Ying Chengjiao personally led the army to destroy Han was a thorn in the hearts of many Koreans.
So many Koreans lived in the guest house of Changan Jun's mansion, but they did not agree with Ying Chengjiao's identity, but were only willing to obey the orders of Mrs. Han.
Although they still worked for Ying Chengjiao in the end, they lacked respect and loyalty to Ying Chengjiao.
Mrs. Han saw it and was annoyed.
Now Ying Chengjiao's battle to destroy Chu is enough to make those Koreans understand.
Even a strong country like Chu could be destroyed by Ying Chengjiao, so how could a weak country like Han withstand Ying Chengjiao's attack?
The blood and lives of countless powerful people in Chu proved Ying Chengjiao's means and cruelty.
Ying Chengjiao didn't need to use his status to destroy Han. Ying Chengjiao was really kind to Han because of his status!
Kindness is always compared.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhang Pa said with emotion: "In the past, Chang'an Jun destroyed Han, and I deeply hated Chang'an Jun."
"But looking at Chang'an Jun's previous expeditions, the most gentle means were precisely the war to destroy Han!"
"Chang'an Jun has his motherland in his heart, but it's a pity that he is in two countries and serves different masters."
Zhang Rang glanced at Zhang Pa: "You are old and stupid, but you are not as clear as Liang'er."
"Since you know what the princess wants, why are you still standing there?"
"Call all the sons and daughters of my Zhang family to welcome Chang'an Jun together!"
Zhang Pa blinked in confusion: "We are not guests, but the family members of the guests."
"Are we going to welcome Chang'an Jun too?"
Zhang Rang hated him for not fighting and said: "Pig?"
"Liang'er said clearly that the princess played the magnificent chapter not for the guests, but for the Koreans!"
"Are the sons and daughters of the Zhang family not Koreans?!"
Zhang Pa hurriedly bowed: "Yes!"
Seeing that Zhang Pa was about to run out with Zhang Liang Go, Zhang Rang hurriedly ordered: "Remember, don't call Chang'an Jun anymore, but call him Your Majesty!"
"Liang'er stay."
Zhang Liang bowed to Zhang Pa, then ran back to Zhang Rang in small steps, and asked in a soft voice: "Do you want to help your uncle to the study?"
Zhang Rang smiled and rubbed Zhang Liang's little head: "Yes."
"Liang'er should say a few more words today."
"The future Zhang family still needs you to support it!"
Zhang Liang raised his head and said seriously: "With uncle here, my Zhang family will continue!"
Zhang Rang smiled and shook his head, looked up at the night illuminated by torches, and murmured softly: "The new day has dawned."
"There should always be a new generation to replace the old."
——
Zhang Pa didn't know what Zhang Rang was thinking, he just dutifully pulled out all the Zhang family members, from those who couldn't walk to those who couldn't walk.
Holding two babies less than one year old on his left and right arms, Zhang Pa was still whispering: "Hurry, walk faster!"
"Watch the road carefully!"
Running all the way to the front yard, Zhang Pa saw other people who were not retainers but were the male members of the Han Dynasty also coming one after another.
Zhang Pa hurriedly organized the Zhang family members to line up neatly, and handed the baby in his arms to other children to hold, whispering: "Call me Lord later!"
"This is the order of the clan leader!"
The front yard became a little messy due to the large influx of people.
Mrs. Han, who stood three steps inside the threshold, turned her back to the crowd, but a smile slightly rose on the corner of her mouth, and ordered again: "Drum beat!"
Four musicians in gorgeous clothes walked to the left and right sides of the two Jian drums, and then lightly hit the drum surface with drumsticks.
"Dong~Dongdongdongdong!"
Unlike the main battle Fen drum, the Jian drum is a musical instrument used for both ceremonial and war.
Compared to the main battle Fen drum, the crisper and more pleasant rhythm gave the Chang'an Jun Mansion a solemnity, and its brisk rhythm that tickled the ears of the soldiers outside the mansion gave these killing generals some peace.
A smile appeared on Ying Chengjiao's face, and he shouted proudly:
"Comrades, go home!"
Behind Ying Chengjiao, Bafu, Guafu and other Chang'an Township children who followed Ying Chengjiao to triumph cheered excitedly:
"Go home!"
Riding his horse and galloping to the door of Chang'an Jun Mansion, looking at the figure in his heart, Ying Chengjiao subconsciously raised his legs and rushed forward.
But after running two steps, thinking of the scene specially arranged by Mrs. Han, Ying Chengjiao still restrained his impulse, stood outside the mansion, and shouted loudly:
"Son, Prince Chengjiao of Chang'an, greets mother!"
Mrs. Han's eyes were a little more sparkling, and the smile on her face was a little trembling, but her voice was still steady and powerful:
"My son, is it Ying?"
Ying Chengjiao bowed again and shouted proudly:
"Open up the border, expand the territory, kill the king, and destroy the country."
"Return with all the orders!"
"Don't fail the king's order!"
"Don't fail my mother's kindness!"
Behind Ying Chengjiao, more than a thousand Chang'an Township boys shouted in unison:
"In terms of merit, Ying is great!"
According to etiquette, Mrs. Han should now remove Ying Chengjiao's armor.
But the work of removing the armor had already been monopolized by Ying Zheng, and even Ying Chengjiao's armor and long halberd were privately hidden by Ying Zheng.
Madam Han could only shout in a deep voice:
"Change clothes!"
Mi Tian, Gui Ling, and Ji Wei walked forward quickly with clothes in their hands, bowed in front of Ying Chengjiao, and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, my lord."
Twenty palace maids came forward holding curtains and covered Ying Chengjiao with them.
With the curtain blocking them, the three women could no longer bear the longing and joy in their hearts, and looked up at Ying Chengjiao with joy.
Ying Chengqiu opened his arms and let the three women busy themselves, smiling softly:
"Thank you for your hard work during the time when I was away from home."
Ji Wei's eyes were red, but she smiled: "We are eating and drinking in the mansion and enjoying life, and there is no enemy attacking the city, and there is no war to fight."
"But the master has to go out to fight and fight bloody battles."
"Why should we suffer? The master is suffering!"
Gui Ling took off Ying Chengqiu's crown and clothes, with a look of heartache: "The master must not have eaten anything delicious when he was outside."
"The master is hungry and thin!"
"Fill your stomach first?"
Feeling the soft fingers putting a piece of dried meat into his mouth, Ying Chengqiu couldn't help but look at Gui Ling a few more times.
Until now, Ying Chengqiu didn't know how many snacks Gui Ling had hidden on her body.
He didn't know why Gui Ling had hidden so many snacks, but her figure was still curvy.
Mi Tian took the opportunity to whisper: "Since hearing that the master destroyed Chu, the lady has been very happy."
"After hearing what the master did to the people of Chu, the lady became even happier and summoned guests from Han many times."
"Today, a grand ceremony was held to welcome the master. I think the lady wanted to take this opportunity to change the Korean people's view of the master."
"It also makes the Korean people understand that the master really showed mercy to the Koreans in the past."
Ying Chengjiao suddenly realized: "No wonder my mother changed her usual behavior and welcomed me so grandly."
"So my killing spree in Chu is actually beneficial to me?"
Mi Tian just smiled gently, did not speak, and did not influence Ying Chengjiao's judgment.
Ying Chengjiao said no more and said, "I have prepared a gift for you."
"After changing your clothes, don't go back to the backyard, stay by your mother's side to serve."
Mi Tian bowed in surprise: "Thank you, my lord!"
No other gifts are needed, just being able to continue to stand by Madam Han's side later is already a great gift!
The curtain was opened, revealing Ying Chengjiao who had changed into casual clothes.
Stepping over the threshold, Ying Chengjiao bowed to Madam Han and said, "Son Chengjiao, I pay my respects to your mother!"
Looking at her son standing in front of her, Madam Han finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Chengjiao straightened up immediately, hugged Madam Han in his arms, and shouted happily:
"Mother, I miss you so much!"
Madam Han burst into tears and laughed, and whispered: "You naughty child, so many guests are watching the ceremony."
"As a triumphant general, how can you act like a child!"
Ying Chengjiao's muscles were relaxed, and his arms were gently around Madam Han. His cold and piercing eyes were looking around the audience, and he said in a warm voice: "It is because I am a triumphant general that I can do whatever I want."
"If anyone thinks that I am rude, you might as well ask me what is the etiquette of the sword in my hand!"
Several guests who originally wanted to laugh at Ying Chengjiao like a child who had not grown up hurriedly lowered their heads and dared not say another word.
Madam Han showed some approval in her eyes, pushed Ying Chengjiao away, and said loudly:
"My son, you are very brave!"
Thousands of guests and their families bowed without hesitation and shouted:
"We congratulate you!"
