Those surrounding guards with swords also knelt down in a rush.
It's a joke, since their direct superior has already saluted with a fist, what reason do they have not to follow?
Moreover, these people are just low-ranking soldiers; kneeling before the Holy Decree is proper.
However, this was something Chen Baicheng had not anticipated at all.
He did not expect that by bowing himself, he would cause all the soldiers to kneel as well.
This was unprecedented.
By doing so, wouldn't it directly enhance the young Emperor's prestige??
Before he could react, he heard Lin Yi actually unfolding the Holy Decree and starting to read:
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Right Martial Guard Great Commander Chen Baicheng, loyal and dutiful, with exceptional wisdom, has made the Right Martial Guard impregnable, truly showing the character of a Great General, which greatly comforts My heart.
