Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 117 A Model of a Good Boss
Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "Compared with Youyang's achievements, the death of a mere sheep is nothing, try it quickly, but are you still used to it?"

"Here."

Xue Lang didn't refuse, and sat down generously and calmly. Immediately, a waiter stepped forward, took out a delicate dagger, and sliced ​​the big goose neatly——

The goose should be small, the bones and flesh are tender, or maybe the waiter's dagger was sharp, and the bones and meat were cut into slices. It turned out that there was something inside the goose belly. Xue Lang looked at it, it should be meat mixed with seasonings of sticky rice.

Persisting in chopsticks, he took a slice, tasted it, his mouth was full of delicious aroma, Xue Lang gave a thumbs up without hesitation, and Langxess said with a smile: "Even if there are thousands of words to describe deliciousness, I can't think of them right now. Thousands of words can be combined into one sentence, delicious!"

Princess Pingyang laughed: "What a delicious one! This sentence is delicious!"

Everyone also burst into laughter.

The banquet officially begins.

Hun Yang Shihu is really delicious, and the goose is a small goose, so the portion is not too much.Xue Lang ate half of it himself, and the remaining half was sent to Jiang Lin.He and Jiang Lin are brothers, so the reward from Her Royal Highness can naturally be shared.

There is no drink, and the atmosphere of the banquet is of course lively but not enthusiastic.After eating lively, everyone went home, took a day off, and went back to work the next day.

Not long after returning to Tingfengyuan, Rugui brought someone to present Xue Lang with a reward from His Royal Highness the Princess.Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't give him a house, but ordered Rugui to send him a few wooden boxes. Hearing Rugui sing the ceremony, they were all gold, silver, pearls and jade.One catty of gold, one thousand taels of silver, a small box of pearls and jade, and two big boxes of silk.All in all, hard money.

These are rewards.Rugui ordered people to hold his official uniform!Consulting and participating in the military is an official position on the fifth rank, that is to say, from now on, she will get rid of the green official robe and step into the ranks of the crimson official uniform!

The official uniform was delivered just after he was promoted. It seems that Her Highness the Princess has been preparing for the promotion as soon as the elite battalion is formed.Xue Lang was a little moved, but also a little happy.

Sincerely said: "The servant please convey Xue Lang's thanks, Your Highness has given me such a generous gift, Xue Lang will never forget it, and I will definitely devote myself to assist Your Highness as best I can."

Rugui smiled warmly: "Xue Zhiyi's thanks must be conveyed. His Highness said that Xue Zhiyi is currently in Weizeguan. With Xue Zhiyi's talent, he will definitely work in Beijing in the future, and the farm will wait until he returns. Say it again, Jing."

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's just that I'm flattered, there's no reason to want His Highness's farm and house."

Rugui said: "His Royal Highness knows the merits of Xue Zhiyi, don't be polite, Xue Zhiyi deserves these."

Thank you Rugui, and Rugui went back to Her Royal Highness to handle business.Xue Lang cleaned up and went to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess.After being notified to enter, Her Royal Highness was sitting on her knees, holding a bowl of green tea and sipping it slowly.Seeing Xue Lang coming, he beckoned him over to sit down, and asked Chuxue to make him a bowl too: "After drinking the clear tea made by Youyang, I always feel that the taste of the tea soup is too messy, so it's not as peaceful as this clear tea."

Xue Lang said: "It's fine to put green onion, ginger and garlic in the tea soup, but it's still vinegary and sour. How do you drink it? Drinking tea must be pure tea to have a taste."

Xue Lang was quite resentful.Her Royal Highness smiled, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter with Youyang?"

Xue Lang hastily put down the tea bowl, got up and saluted Her Highness the Princess: "His Highness, Xue Lang is ashamed to accept this generous gift. I'm here to thank you, Xue Lang..."

Before Xue Lang finished speaking, he was interrupted by His Royal Highness: "There is no need to say thank you. Youyang's contribution is so small that there is no reason why he should not accept it! When the sweet potatoes are harvested, there will be more people from the saint." Reward Yu Youyang, then, that will be the real reward."

Xue Lang stopped talking and sat down again.I don't know what rewards His Majesty Li Yuan will give. I think there will be some in the fields and houses. I'm afraid the servants and servants will also be rewarded, such as silk, gold and silver wares.

"What was Youyang thinking when he presented the flag today?"

Princess Pingyang asked suddenly.Xue Lang broke into a sweat quietly, and said truthfully: "My subordinates are watching the flags fluttering in the arena, each of which is different, and wondering why the flags are different and what their functions are."

Princess Pingyang obviously didn't expect Xue Lang to be thinking about this: "Just this matter?"

Xue Lang's face was full of solemnity: "That's the matter."

Her Royal Highness said calmly: "It turns out that Youyang doesn't understand the meaning of flags. According to regulations, different identities and different generals have different flags."

Her Royal Highness gave Xue Lang some science while drinking tea.The so-called flags include military flags and ceremonial flags.The guard of honor flag is generally only available to generals with titles.For example, Princess Pingyang, in addition to the flag indicating the identity of the royal family, there is also a flag representing the rank.

The flag of the royal family is called Zhu Qi, and it is embroidered with Suzaku. It does not mean that Pingyang is a princess, so Suzaku is painted.When the royal family travels, if the guard of honor is complete, there are several flags.

Military flags are different from ceremonial flags, and commanders and generals have their own flags.The marching flag is different from the garrison flag, and there is also a herald flag.Therefore, whenever the army marches, the banners are always fluttering.It can be said that if you understand the meaning of these flags, you can almost understand most of the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

"Then may I ask Your Highness, what is the meaning of the sound of the golden drum?"

Xue Lang continued to ask for advice.Princess Pingyang calmly said: "The so-called sound of the golden drum is an order. When you hear the drum, you will advance, and when you hear the gold, you will retreat. Golden works, like gongs!"

So today when performing martial arts, you hear more drums and less gongs.

"What Youyang lacks is common news. Don't the flower growers that Youyang came from use golden drums?"

Her Royal Highness really knows everything by seeing the little things and knowing everything by hearing them.How to answer this question?Could it be telling Princess Pingyang that our flower growers all use radios!So, what is radio?There is wireless, there must be wired, and what is it... wait!
Feeling problems will be endless.Therefore, Xue Lang dealt with Her Royal Highness with a serious face: "I don't know what kind of ordering method is used in the army, and I have never joined the army. The method of training is to listen to the description of the teacher who has joined the army and read it from the book. Law does not."

Princess Pingyang said: "It's a secret thing to think about coming here, it's not surprising that Youyang doesn't know."

Princess Pingyang is really a good boss.It's a pity that such a good person doesn't live long... Speaking of which, it's May of the fifth year of Wude. According to historical records, Her Royal Highness died in the sixth year of Wude, but the exact date was not mentioned——

Those patriarchal historians!Will writing down more dates kill me?Will you die?Will you die?

To the point that now Xue Lang doesn't even know how to save someone if he wants to save someone.Did he die from illness or from injury?No clue at all, no clue, naturally there is no way to start.

Xue Lang wanted to save Princess Pingyang, not to mention that Princess Pingyang was his savior, but only that he was cared for by Princess Pingyang, so he couldn't let him stand idly by.In Xue Lang's mind, Princess Pingyang is not only a good boss, but also a friend who understands him.Although, this is only his one-sided cognition.

As for a friend, how can I just watch her death come.

Xue Lang took a deep breath, and suddenly asked: "May I ask Your Highness, is there raw silk in the manor?"

"Raw silk? Does Youyang need it? It's easy, how much do you need? I'll send someone to deliver it."

Her Royal Highness asked Xue Lang how much he wanted without even asking what it was for.Xue Lang couldn't help but smile, how could such a princess have the heart not to save her!
