My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 446: Imperial Decree to Appoint a General

Qin Chuan looked at Zhuge Liang's back, and at this moment, he was really in a trance.

When he came to his senses, he thought of a question.

Did Zhuge Liang carry the memories of his past life with him, or not?

If he carries the memory of his past life, then what about the others...

However, Bai Qi and Chen Qianzhi before did not seem to have any signs of having any memories of their past lives.

Is it possible that Zhuge Liang is the only one who remembers the memories of his previous life?

.........

Yunnan Prefecture.

Qin Chuan was wearing a dragon robe and sitting upright on the dragon throne.

He held the imperial seal tightly in his hand.

"Where is the official who announces the imperial edict?" Qin Chuan's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the empty hall.

"I'm here!" Zhang Rang came out upon hearing the voice, knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and waited for the emperor's will.

"Xuan!"

Zhang Rang stood up and slowly unfolded the imperial edict that he had prepared long ago. He said in a high-pitched voice: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees this."

"I have observed that the territory of our Wu Dynasty is vast, and the stability of the border is the foundation of the country. Now there are four brave generals who are loyal and brave, and I have specially awarded them to consolidate the territory."

"Chang Yuchun is now appointed General of Anxi, and granted a golden seal and purple ribbon. He will be stationed in the Xuanwei Office of U-Tsang forever to ensure the peace of our western border and protect it from foreign aggression."

"Yue Fei, who has devoted his life to serving the country, is now specially appointed as General Anbei to guard Shengjing and ensure the stability of our northern border so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"General Huang Zhong, your sword is still sharp. I have appointed you as General Annan to guard Yunnan Prefecture. I hope you can use your veteran style to intimidate the southern border and keep our border safe."

"Wei Qing is now specially appointed as General of Andong to guard Nanning Prefecture and ensure the peace of our eastern border and the happiness of the people."

"These four generals are the pillars of our Wu Dynasty. I hope you will perform your duties conscientiously and live up to my expectations. I decree this!"

After Zhang Rang's voice fell, the hall became solemn.

After handing the imperial edict to the four generals, he withdrew.

The four of them stepped forward one after another, knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and kowtowed three times and nine times.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace! I will do my duty and live up to your expectations!"

Qin Chuan sat upright on the dragon throne, raised his hand slightly, signaled everyone to stand up, and then looked at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang understood immediately and took another step forward. He slightly raised the imperial edict in his hand and glanced at everyone present. He said, "There is another decree, which I will read out here as well."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and waited.

Zhang Rang slowly unfolded another imperial edict and read it aloud.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have observed the general situation of the world. Soldiers are the foundation of a country. To maintain the stability of a country, a good general is needed. Now we have Li Jing, who is both wise and brave, and has extraordinary strategies. I hereby appoint him as the general, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the three armies to ensure the stability of the country and protect the foundation of our Wu Dynasty for eternity. I hope you will live up to my expectations, perform your duties conscientiously, work together on state affairs, and comfort the people. I decree this!"

Li Jing took a deep breath, gently stroked the hem of his clothes with his hands, then slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against the cold ground, and responded in a loud and respectful voice: "Your Majesty, Li Jing, accepts your order and thanks you! I will live up to your majesty's high expectations, fulfill my duties, defend the territory of the Wu Dynasty to the death, command the three armies, and work together for national affairs to comfort the people!"

.......

Now these people are all given by the system, so there is no need to worry about betrayal.

What's more, Li Jing was in charge of all the military forces in the world, and he only needed to control Li Jing alone.

Besides, those top strategists are not vegetarians either.

This way, you can be completely lazy.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan planned to establish the cabinet as soon as possible.

The establishment of the cabinet marked the beginning of a new era of separation of military and political power in the Wu Dynasty.

As a monarch, Qin Chuan firmly holds the command of the army to ensure the security and stability of the country.

The cabinet became his right-hand man in handling government affairs. The grand secretaries provided Qin Chuan with decision-making references as consultants, and the final decision-making power was in Qin Chuan's hands.

Li Si, Fan Li, Lu Su, Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang were the initial members of the cabinet.

It can also be said to be the strongest cabinet!

Only by separating the military and politics can we truly achieve the rational distribution and checks and balances of power.

It can also ensure the smooth implementation of government policies.

As for Jiang Wei, he was arranged by Qin Chuan to the Ministry of War to gain experience.

............

At this time, in the distant land of Egypt, a huge project was quietly underway.

It is the famous pyramid in later generations.

In the scorching desert of Egypt, the difficulty of building the pyramids is beyond imagination. It is not only an extreme challenge to the skills of craftsmen, but also an extreme test of human will and wisdom.

First, the natural environment is harsh.

The sun in the desert is as scorching as fire, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, which is a great test of the craftsmen's physical strength and endurance.

In addition, the sudden arrival of sandstorms caught people off guard. Not only could it instantly submerge the entire construction site, it could also cause devastating damage to the unfinished pyramid structure.

Secondly, there is the problem of transporting and stacking huge stones.

Each huge stone used to build the pyramids weighs several tons or even dozens of tons, and moving these stones requires a large amount of manpower and material resources.

And how to stack them up accurately to form a stable triangular structure requires extremely high skills.

It is necessary to ensure that each stone is placed just right, taking into account both gravity and balance as well as aesthetics.

The Qin warriors held spears in their hands and supervised whether the Kunlun slaves were carrying out the construction according to the established plans and standards, and were always ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

First, the Kunlun slaves would dig a huge square pit at the selected location as the base of the pyramid.

The edges of the pit were carefully trimmed to ensure its flatness and verticality, laying a solid foundation for subsequent construction.

Next came the arduous task of collecting and transporting the huge stones.

The Kunlun slaves, with their bronze skin exposed, were sweating profusely under the scorching sun.

They used a specially made copper crowbar, inserted it into the bottom of the boulder, and used the principle of leverage to slowly pry the boulder up.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to tie up the boulders with thick ropes, and with the help of pulleys and a complex slide system, they carefully transported the boulders from the quarry to the construction site.

There were also some Kunlun slaves who held stone hammers and chisels and carefully processed and polished each huge stone.

They cut the boulders into specific shapes and sizes according to the requirements on the design drawings, and then used wooden wedges and ropes to adjust the boulders to precise positions.

As the construction work progressed, the pyramid gradually rose from the ground and took shape.

In order to show the integration of diverse cultures, these pyramids are also given richer symbolic meanings.

So he ordered the most outstanding sculptors and craftsmen to sculpt according to the twelve zodiac signs of the Wu Dynasty.

Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig, a lifelike portrait is tailor-made for each pyramid.

These life portraits should not only reflect the expressions and characteristics of their respective animals, but also complement the grandeur of the pyramids to form a unique landscape.

These life portraits were built in front of each pyramid.

Exactly twelve seats.
