Chapter 595: The princess holds the bowl and the prince pours the wine
The moment Liu Mingzhi opened the sandalwood box, his eyes fell on Duan Dingbang and the other generals of the new army.
Seeing their excited expressions after seeing the tiger talisman, Liu Mingzhi didn't feel any surprise, because when he saw his own tiger talisman for the first time, his reaction was no different from the reaction of these juniors.
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at Duan Dingbang who looked away from the tiger charm, and a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes. This boy's willpower could be so firm, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
"Dingbang."
Duan Dingbang, who was secretly controlling his excitement, heard Young Master Liu calling his name and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"I'm here."
"I ask you, what day is today?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, today is an auspicious day for our soldiers to go out to fight for the country."
"Well, since it is the day when you are about to go to war for the country, are you, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, ready?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have already made preparations and can lead the soldiers to march out at any time."
"So how are the soldiers going on the expedition?"
"It's time to report back to Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Deputy Commander Lu Chen, Warlord Ge Gonglu and others behind Duan Dingbang.
"Lu Chen, Ge Gonglu."
"I'm here."
"Are you two ready?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I and the other two are also ready."
"Chu Yunhao, Zhuge Ziqing... where are you?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am all prepared and ready to go to the battlefield at any time to expand the territory for Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly stood up straight, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table.
"Okay, okay, what I want is your morale, and you really did not disappoint me."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the Heavenly Sword he had just placed on the table and put it on his waist again. He gently stroked the finely textured and beautifully embroidered command flag on the table.
I haven't been in charge of Lingqi for many years.
After his fingertips slid carefully on the flag for a long time, Liu Mingzhi turned to look at Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, who was standing on the left.
"Housebu."
When Jiang Yuanming heard Liu Mingzhi greeting him, he hurriedly walked up to Liu Mingzhi and bowed.
"The old minister is here."
"Are the expedition drinks to reward the soldiers ready?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the wine for the expedition was prepared ten days ago, and now all the wine has been transported to the camp."
"Is the quantity sufficient?"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will ensure that every soldier can have a bowl of hometown wine."
"It was well done. You, the Minister of Revenue, have worked hard, and all the officials in the Department of Revenue have also worked hard."
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is the responsibility of the veteran."
"Rongwei Hou."
"The old minister is here."
"Where is Cai Yanaiqing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I am waiting for His Majesty's summons below the stage."
"Let Cai Yan Aiqing take the stage."
"Old minister, I obey."
Mr. Rongwei walked to the edge of the general stage and waved to an official in his fifties who was in the crowd.
"Cai Yan."
"The child is here."
"You bastard, what are you doing? Hurry up to the commander's station. His Majesty has summoned you."
"yes."
"My Majesty, General Wuwei Cai Yan, is here to see you. Long live my emperor."
"Cai Aiqing is exempt from the gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Cai Yan, I want you to serve as the quartermaster of the Second Army. Didn't your Majesty tell you a few days ago?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, my father has informed me of everything in detail."
"Just let me know, then are you willing to serve as the quartermaster of the second line of troops?
If you are willing or not, just say it with confidence and boldly. There is no need to feel any pressure in your heart.
If you don't want to in your heart, I will never force you. As for the old Marquis, I will make the decision for you and he will not dare to embarrass you."
Cai Yan knelt down on one knee without hesitation and gave Young Master Liu a respectful fist.
"Reply to Your Majesty, I am willing."
"That's great, everyone will be happy in this way, so no gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Cai Yan, who was about ten years older than him, and looked at Cai Jun, the Honorable Marquis with a faint smile, who was standing next to him.
"Old Marquis."
"The old minister is here."
"You are a tiger in general!"
When Lord Rongwei heard Mr. Liu's words of praise, his old face suddenly smiled, as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Turning his head and glancing at his eldest son, Lord Rongwei coughed a few times and waved his hands modestly.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, Your Majesty is so complimentary.
If His Majesty hadn't taken it seriously, this worthless thing would have been like this for the rest of its life.
Now your Majesty has given him the opportunity to put on his armor again and perform meritorious service. It is a blessing for the old minister and a blessing for my son.
Sir, I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty, please bow to me. Long live my emperor."
As soon as the Honorable Marquis Cai Jun finished speaking, he knelt on one knee and saluted Young Master Liu.
Upon seeing this, Cai Yan hurriedly knelt down on one knee again.
"Your Majesty, Cai Yan, thanks you for your kindness. Long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Rong Weihou who was kneeling in front of him on one knee, and hurriedly leaned over to help him up.
"No gifts, no gifts. Sir, you have too many gifts."
"Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty."
"Cai Yan, please get up too."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi stretched out his hand to adjust the armor on Rongwei Hou Cai Jun, and sighed with emotion.
"Old dear, it's not that I, Long Enhao, deliberately favored your Cai family, but that Cai Yan, dear to you, has the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a quartermaster.
Don’t you, old Aiqing, understand my character? If Cai Yan’s own virtue was insufficient, even if you came to me personally, I would not hand over the post of quartermaster to Cai Yan Aiqing.
Although the position of quartermaster is not as powerful as the positions of marshal, deputy marshal, and governor, the burden on his shoulders is heavier than them!
The supply of food and fodder for an army of 100,000 people fell entirely on the quartermaster.
Although I haven't seen much of Cai Yan Aiqing, I still know his abilities in my heart.
I can rest assured that the post of Quartermaster of the Second Army and Horses will be given to him!"
"Yes, yes, your majesty said that, I would like to thank your majesty for your trust on behalf of Quanzi."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, turning to look at Cai Yan next to him.
"Cai Yan, such an important position has been entrusted to you, please don't let me down."
"Don't worry, your majesty, I must regard the matter of food and grass as more important than my own life.
If anything goes wrong regarding the food and fodder matter, there is no need for His Majesty to hold him accountable. I will send someone to bring my head to His Majesty to apologize."
"Serious words, serious words.
Cai Yan, Aiqing, if you have this confidence, I will feel more at ease."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
"Housebu."
"The old minister is here."
“Where is the drink that is practiced for the soldiers of the three armies?”
Jiang Yuanming immediately raised his hand and pointed to the open space on the left side of the school ground.
"Back to Your Majesty, all the drinks are placed in the open space on the left side of the school grounds. They can be taken at any time to serve the soldiers."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and looked in the direction of Jiang Yuanming's finger, looking at the dozens of wine jars piled up like a hill in the open space in the distance and exhaled heavily.
"Yiyi, Yaoyao, Yue'er."
"My son is here."
"Ride the wind, carry the will, and achieve success."
"My son is here."
"The six of you, brothers and sisters, are divided into three groups. Each of you will command a thousand forbidden troops and go out to drink wine for the 100,000 soldiers.
Yiyi, Yaoyao, Yue'er, you three sisters are holding bowls.
Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan, you three brothers pour the wine.
It’s almost getting dark, so you don’t need to pour wine for all the soldiers one by one. Just chat with the generals in front of the formations and leave the rest to the Forbidden Army soldiers.”
Liu Chengfeng and the other six brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, and then they hurriedly saluted after they came to their senses.
"My son, I obey."
After the six Liu Chengfeng brothers and sisters responded, everyone on the stage stared at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile on his face.
The princess holds the bowl and the prince pours the wine.
