Chapter 15: Ascending the Altar to Worship the Commander (Asking for Votes)
The three of them walked up to the second floor, where Zhou Chang, who was holding the edict, was already waiting, and another civil official was holding a tray with military talismans and seals on the tray. Liu Bang said: "Read the edict! ”
Zhou Chang faced the crowd under the mandala, opened the edict, and read it aloud.
"In the first year of the Han Dynasty, the king of Han announced the sun, moon and stars, and the god of wind, rain, thunder and lightning said: The rise and fall of the world, the change of dynasties, only the virtuous live, the state is the master, the body is shouldered, and the virtuous and capable are supplemented. Today, there is Deng Xing, the heroes among the people, the country's warriors are unparalleled, the king of Han worships the general Deng Xing, commands the three armies, and the matter of the conquest is fully authorized. ”
The sound of the loud reading spread far away, and more than 10,000 pairs of eyes under the mandala looked at Deng Yulong on the mandala.
At this moment, Deng Yulong can be described as infinitely beautiful, excited and excited, just like the CEO in a modern large company, the grand scene of all the staff gathered together, and the reading of the edict is like reading the letter of appointment.
No, no, no, a general is the commander of a country's army, how can he be compared to the CEO of a mere enterprise.
Officially inaugurated as a general, Deng Yulong took a solid step forward on the road ahead.
He will do his best to do a good job, but it is limited to his own work, as a modern person who has traveled over, he has a unique advantage with the people of this time and space, and there are more than two thousand years of human knowledge crystallization, some of which can be appropriately used in this period, Deng Yulong can't take it out now, and he can't make a wedding dress for Liu Bang.
After the edict was read, Deng Yulong knelt down to Liu Bang, bowed three times and then stood up.
Liu Bang first put a red cloak on Deng Yulong, and then handed Deng Yulong the talisman in the civil official tray next to him, and Deng Yulong respectfully took it.
The soldier talisman on the tray is called "Tiger Fu", this tiger talisman is made of bronze in the shape of a tiger token, which was split into two halves, and only half of them were awarded to Deng Yulong, and the other half was in Liu Bang's hands.
Even if Deng Yulong becomes a general, he only has military management rights for the time being, and only when Liu Bang grants him the other half of the tiger talisman, he can lead his troops to the battle.
Liu Bang looked at Deng Yulong and said earnestly: "Deng Aiqing, you are now a general, from now on, the safety of the Han Dynasty, the victory or defeat of the three armies, all thanks to the general, everything is subject to the general's control, the generals are all dispatched by the general, and the three armies can neither flinch nor act rashly, you must share the cold and summer with the Han family, and the joys and hardships with the generals, so as to be invincible." ”
Deng Yulong said: "The teachings of the King of Han are remembered by the ministers. Since he was ordered by the king of Han, the ministers should do their best and never give up. ”
Liu Bang picked up the general's seal letter to Deng Yulong, and Deng Yulong bowed his head and respectfully accepted it.
"General, you can order the general!"
"Yes!"
Deng Yulong faced the crowd under the mandala and said loudly: "Pass on the general's order, point the general." ”
The order was issued, the drums sounded, and on the flagpole, the flag with the word "Deng" was raised.
The generals who had reached the corresponding level walked towards the mandala in unison, walked up to the first floor of the mandala and stopped.
"Bow to the General!"
Dozens of generals knelt down to Deng Yulong in unison.
"Gentlemen, get up!"
The generals rose up in unison.
Deng Yulong glanced at everyone, and some of them looked unfriendly, obviously dissatisfied with themselves.
"General Ben issued a military order, tomorrow at the end of the day, all the generals will gather in the camp south of Nanzheng!"
Regardless of whether they accept it or not, anyone who dares to violate military discipline will be severely punished, and they must establish their own authority in the army.
"No!"
The generals replied in unison.
Deng Yulong asked the generals to disband, and the officers and soldiers left in an orderly manner.
Xiao He said: "General, you can live in the General's Mansion." ”
Liu Bang said: "If there is still a need, just tell the prime minister." ”
Immediately, he and Xiao He left together.
After becoming a general, 300 soldiers were assigned to Deng Yulong as personal soldiers.
Deng Yulong asked 200 of them to go to the barracks first, he rode a horse, returned to Nanzheng with the remaining half of his own soldiers, and went straight to the General's Mansion, and among the 100 people, 30 people would eventually be left to guard the mansion.
At the gate of the general's mansion, there is a beautiful girl standing here, and she sees the main guards coming here from a distance, and the one who is riding a horse at the head is dignified and has very special clothes, so she must be a general, and immediately ran into the mansion.
"The Great General is back! The Great General is back! ”
The maids and servants all ran out.
Deng Yulong came to the door, stopped Lerma, and saw 4 men and 2 women.
"Meet the General!"
Six people knelt down in unison.
Deng Yulong got off the horse and said, "Let's all be even!" ”
After the six people got up, a woman in purple said: "General, the slave maid's name is Xing'er, along with Chunlan and the other 4 people, they were sent by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to serve the general. ”
"Slave Chunlan"
"Small..."
Several people reported their names one by one, and their expressions were respectful.
Deng Yulong looked at Chunlan Xing'er carefully, both of them were fourteen or fifteen years old, petite, wearing maid outfits, and their appearance was not bad.
The two women dared to look at their masters, and hurriedly lowered their heads.
Entering the General's Mansion, Deng Yulong inspected every room again, and it was different from last time, it was empty last time, this time all kinds of supplies were available, and every place was neatly arranged.
Chunlan Xing'er always followed her.
Xing'er said: "General, if there is anything that is not in line with your wishes, you can say it, and the slave and maid will do what you want, and if you still need anything, you can just command." ”
Deng Yulong said: "Okay, that's it." ”
He didn't care much about that, he just did.
During the meal, Deng Yulong was eating alone, and the two beauties were standing behind, which was the rule of feudal society, and the subordinate could not eat at the same table as the master.
Today, I became a general, the scenery is infinite, and there are beautiful women at home to serve, this feeling is cool and crooked.
The tables in the mansion are low, and they are all made based on kneeling.
"Assemble everybody."
The master's order was given, and all six people gathered.
Deng Yulong picked up a brush and drew patterns on a piece of cloth, drawing a modern chair and indicating the height and width.
"According to this pattern, make ten sheets as soon as possible."
Xing'er took the drawing and looked at it, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was puzzled: "General, what is this?" ”
Deng Yulong said: "This is called a chair, I don't like to sit on my knees, after making it, I sit on it with my buttocks." ”
Later, when no distinguished guest came, he sat on a chair, and if he had to choose, he did not sit on the floor.
Looking at the pattern and listening to the master's words, everyone was very curious, there was no special chair in this era, and everyone thought it was Deng Yulong's invention.
Xing'er said: "General, the slave will be done as soon as possible." ”
It was dark, and Xing'er said, "General, the hot water has been boiled, do you want to bathe?" ”
Hearing this, Deng Yulong remembered that the maids in ancient times were to serve the master to bathe, hey! In this era, just follow the rules here.
The bathroom was full of heat, and there was a large bathtub inside, and Deng Yulong was sitting in the bathtub, enjoying himself.
