Chapter 100 Building a platform to worship generals

Three days later.

morning.

Ten miles away from the western suburbs of Anyi, a huge platform of worship stood tall, and there were flags rolling around, and there were many soldiers standing in front of him, with great majesty.

And three days ago, it was still a flat land.

Youdao is the power of the country, and it spreads across the mountains and seas. With Wei Ying's order, tens of thousands of civilians built this platform in just three days.

At this time, hundreds of Wei Dukes, nobles, civil and military officials stood in the stage, and were in a state of solemnity.

But Wei Ying stood on the stage, with a solemn expression, quietly waiting for the heavenly official beside her to announce the auspicious time.

Finally, the white-headed Tianguan looked at the sundial, walked to Wei Ying, and said respectfully: "King, the auspicious time has come, and it is time to open."

"Okay, you can announce it." Wei Ying nodded majestic.

"No." Tian Guan was lucky, and his clear voice instantly spread throughout the audience: "The auspicious time has arrived, and I wish you a happy general will begin. Please invite General Pang Da!"

"Please invite General Pang Da!" Immediately, a soldier still passed the message until the distance.

Soon, a young general wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, with golden silk deer leather boots, a silver cloak, and a sword in the back, walked steadily from afar, walking on the road of worshiping generals with a red carpet, symbolizing power and glory.

If it’s not Pang Juan, who is it!

At this time, Pang Juan was so majestic and glorious. This is an achievement that many people dream of dreaming about but ultimately unattainable!

But he, Pang Juan, had it easily.

This kind of pride made Pang Juan feel excited and almost couldn't do it. He wished he could immediately raise his sword and go to the battlefield to repay his grace.

After a moment, when Pang Juan walked past the hundreds of offices, nobles, and civil and military officials on both sides, a gaze of hatred, jealousy, contempt, and the whispers that were not angry:

"So it's this kid, who doesn't have three heads and six arms, why can he be a general?"

"That's right, no military achievements or qualifications, isn't the reputation of the Guigu disciples amazing? I wonder why the Marquis of Wei values ​​this kid so much."

"Hmph, I want to see how the army submissive him. Anyway, I am the first one to disobey."

"I think this kid only has some skills. He will get out of here in no time."

...

Listening to the cold words coming from all around, Pang Juan was unmoved and walked more and more steadily.

In his opinion, the strong only speak with actions, and the weak will chatter endlessly.

However, when Pang Juan walked to the front of the queue, a contemptuous cold snorted from his right hand. He stabbed a little and turned around to look.

Pang Juan may not care about other people's sarcasm, but he cannot ignore the people in this position.

Because this is the position of the prime minister of a country.

On the right, at the forefront of the queue of civil and military officials, there was a proud person, in his early fifties, with a proud expression and majestic temperament. A strand of beautiful beard turned slightly white, but it was well maintained and beautiful. It was obviously a person who valued appearance.

Pang Juan knew that this person should be the current Prime Minister of Wei State - Gongshu!

This person is Wei Ying's uncle. After Wei Wuhou died, he was the first person to support Wei Ying ascend the throne and made great contributions.

Therefore, even Wei Ying was treated three points with courtesy to Gongshu.

Pang Juan smiled faintly: "This person must be the old prime minister, right? Why, do you seem to have any objections to Pang?"

Uncle Gong snorted coldly and said with a contemptuous look: "Children Huangkou, what skills do you have to use to rank high? Wouldn't you let the princes laugh at me as there is no one in Wei?"

Due to the misfortune of childhood, Pang Juan had a strong self-protection mentality and immediately turned his lips coldly and said, "The old prime minister is old and weak, dizzy, I think it's better to resign early. Otherwise, if the national affairs are delayed, wouldn't other countries laugh at me?"

"You—" Uncle Gong Zuo was furious, his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.

With his prominent position, even the Marquis of Wei has respected him for so many years. Who dares to ridicule him like this?

What's worse is that the man Gongshu has always been very slim.

This person has always been the most shameful person than him, and he has a vengeful personality. At this time, Pang Juan has both. It is conceivable how much hatred Mr. Gong was in his heart.

However, Pang Juan ignored the overwhelming anger of Gongshu and said proudly: "Men should stand, and achievements should be the first. Only cowards can show off their verbal benefits. If the old prime minister does not accept Pang, just focus on the battlefield."

As he said that, Pang Juan left with his strength and did not bother to argue with Gongshu.

"It's too arrogant, how dare you be so rude to Gongshu Prime Minister."

"That's right, wait first, I want to see what kind of abilities a young boy can have this year."

...

Next to Gongshu’s seat, several civil officials and military generals who had heard of it could not help but feel a little angry for him and complained a lot.

Uncle Gong also gritted his teeth and wanted to eat Pang Juan.

You should know that during the Warring States Period, although the prime minister was a civil servant, it was common to lead troops to fight.

The same is true for Gongshu. He has been on the battlefield for many years and has rarely suffered a defeat and is well-known.

At this moment, seeing that Pang Juan was provoking him "without life or death", he couldn't help but sneer: Boy, you should be crazy first. When you lose one day, I will not be over.

He said that Pang Juan was so proud that he went up to the general's platform, lifted his armor skirt and bowed down on one knee: "My minister Pang Juan, pay homage to the Marquis of Wei. Please forgive me for being in the armor and being in full, and I cannot give up the full courtesy."

"General is exempted from the gift." Wei Ying hurriedly helped each other and said earnestly: "From now on, I will have a love affair."

"I must go through fire and water, and I will never refuse." Pang Juan was also unambiguous.

"Okay, let's start." Wei Ying immediately turned to the Heavenly Officer happily and ordered seriously.

"No." The old official immediately announced: "The auspicious time has come, and the prayer will begin. Please give me a talisman, seal, and sword!"

Immediately, three soldiers were holding three trays and quickly stepped forward.

In the first tray was a large golden seal, about the size of a fist, and the seal was a majestic lion.

This is the handsome seal, a symbol of power!

In the second tray, there was a golden talisman seal carved with tiger patterns, but there was only half.

This is the tiger talisman, which is the token of dispatching troops.

Since ancient times, in order to avoid military rebellion, the power of governing the army and the power of dispatching troops have been separated, and the one used to dispatch troops is the tiger talisman.

The tiger talisman is generally divided into two halves, with the generals half and the kings half.

Only when the two talismans match one can the generals have the right to mobilize the army, engage in matters such as quelling rebellion, expedition and other matters.

Otherwise, if the troops are not dispatched, it is a rebellion.

In the third tray, there was a golden sword with a scabbard full of cloud patterns and a pearl inlaid with hilts, which was extremely gorgeous.

This sword is the king's sword, which was later called the "Shangfang Sword", "Sword of the Emperor", etc.

With this sword in your body, it is like a king who comes in person. If there is someone in the army who dares not obey the order, you can take action first and then report.

These three things are combined with the supreme authority of the position of General!

"Please give the seal of the General!" Tianguan announced.

Wei Ying solemnly picked up the seal of the commander and handed it to Pang Juan: "Military and national affairs are a heavy burden, I hope you will be cautious."

"Abide by the king's orders." Pang Juan bowed to the reverse seal.

This kind of etiquette was repeated three times before the general seal, tiger talisman, and seal were given to Pang Juan.

"Pang Aiqing," Wei Ying then helped Pang Juan up again and said with a smile: "The city has prepared a mansion for you, and all the servants and servants. You should go back to the mansion to get to know each other first. Then, I will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate Pang Aiqing's honor as the general."

Pang Juan flatly refused: "The king is kind to you, I understand you. I want to go to the military camp and start training."

"Ah!?" Wei Ying was stunned: "Why should Wei Aiqing be so anxious?"

Pang Juan said with a sigh: "The Marquis of Wei treats his ministers as his national soldiers. I should serve him as his national soldiers and train troops for the country. I just wish I could not use both ways. Why dare to be slow?"

"Okay, okay." Wei Ying was very happy. It was indeed a young man who was very decisive and praised: "Then, I will keep this banquet for my beloved first. When my beloved is successful in training, I will drink with you."

"Thank you, King." Pang Juan agreed with confidence: "Then I will say goodbye."

"Wait." Wei Ying called Pang Juan and turned around and said, "Where is Wei Zheng?"

"The last general is here." A young general who was less than twenty years old immediately flashed aside and bowed to take the order.

"Pang Aiqing," Wei Ying smiled slightly: "You are alone in the army and have no close friends, so it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience. This Wei Zheng is a child of the prince and is quite capable. How about I send him to you as a personal guard?"

Pang Juan was stunned and then understood Wei Ying's intention.

Wei Ying expected that he would encounter a lot of difficulties in the army, so he used Wei Zheng to stand up for him to cheer for him.

"Thank you for your kindness, I am ashamed of my responsibility." Pang Juan was not stupid, and of course he would not refuse Wei Ying's kindness. He had just gone down the mountain and was not familiar with the place in Wei, so he naturally needed one or two trusted people to help. Otherwise, if there were problems, he wouldn't be too old to bother his senior brother Bai Gui, who was also very busy.

"Yes." Wei Ying nodded and said majesticly to Wei Zheng: "Wei Zheng, have you heard what I said clearly?"

"I heard it." Wei Zheng said solemnly: "The last general must follow the order of the general and will not let the entrusted lord of Wei."

"Okay." Wei Ying waved her hand and said, "Even if you lead the general to the military camp."

"No." Wei Zheng received the order and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "General, I will ask you to take care of you in the future. Please!"

"Let's work hard together." Pang Juan smiled and patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder. Both of them were young people and should be easy to communicate. He turned to Wei Ying and bowed to him, "Mr. Wei, that's the minister now."

"I'm waiting for the good news for you." Wei Ying nodded, feeling quite reluctant. Sometimes, the fate between people is really a wonderful thing.

"Goodbye." Pang Juan turned around and stepped down.

"I will say goodbye at the end." Wei Zheng also bowed to the Marquis of Wei and followed closely.

When he arrived in the audience, Wei Zheng clapped his hands, and immediately there were about fifty elite guards following him.

Pang Juan was not surprised. Wei Ying took action and of course she would not just send Wei Zheng alone, but a personal guard headed by Wei Zheng.
