The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

As for the ownership of the military power of the Northwest Army that everyone is concerned about.

The emperor rejected General Zhao Zhuo Zhao's resignation of military affairs and handing over military power, and solemnly handed the tiger amulet back to General Zhao Zhuo Zhao in front of Prime Minister Fu and several important officials in the court, "These years The border is safe and the barbarian can't beat the Yanmen pass, it's because you, the general, guard the gate with tens of thousands of soldiers, the barbarian dare not attack us Dacheng, they are afraid of us Dacheng."

"...The hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border cannot live without you, General, and Dacheng cannot live without you; I, too, cannot live without you, General. Therefore, I still have to hand over this tiger talisman to you, General." In your hands, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border will also be under your control and command, General."

The border is not stable, Dacheng is not stable, and the emperor's dragon chair is not stable, the emperor is not ignorant of this truth.

Since ancient times, emperors have been afraid of generals who hold military power in their hands, but the same emperors also rely on generals to guard their country and protect their families.This tiger talisman was handed over to Zhao Zhuo again, signifying the emperor's trust in Zhao Zhuo and the Zhao family

The maid held a plate in her hand, and what was placed on the plate was the tiger amulet handed over to the emperor by General Zhao, waiting for the general to take it.

Zhao Zhuo stared at the tiger talisman in front of him. He finally handed over the tiger talisman. He had already prepared everything to stay in the capital and live a happy life with his wife in his arms. The emperor asked him to go back to guard the border again? !

Seeing General Zhao's appearance, Fu Chengxiang knew what this man was thinking, "Ahem..." He raised his sleeve, covered his mouth and coughed, reminding Zhao Zhuo to take the tiger amulet and thank you .

It has to be said that it is not without the help of the prime minister.

Eat the king's salary, and worry about the king's worries.As a subject and the prime minister of a country, Fu Yihan naturally wants to solve the troubles for the emperor, and think about the common people and the common people in the world.Such a choice is the best choice for the common people of the world, and the common people of the world, for Dacheng, and he will definitely do so.

"Your majesty, my minister..." Zhao Zhuo glanced at the tiger talisman in front of him, and then turned to look at the holy majesty above. General Zhao wanted to

Refuse.

However, the emperor obviously did not give him a chance to refuse, "I know that you have been at the border all these years, General. month, and return to the border after two months."

In this regard, the emperor was very gracious and allowed General Zhao to stay in the capital for two more months, so that he could stay in the capital to spend more time with his wife and children

The meaning of the emperor's words is also very clear. Anyway, you have to hold the tiger talisman, and you still take on the duties in the army. You can stay in Beijing for two more months, but handing over the tiger talisman and resigning from the post may not work.

"As for the rest of the soldiers, if there are no special circumstances, they will return to the border on time. If there are special circumstances, they will be approved and arranged by you, the general." Even if the Hu people have retreated now, it does not mean that The Hu people will not come to disturb the border, and the border still needs the guards of soldiers, and these soldiers who have returned to the capital will return to the border by then.

"Minister...obey the order." Zhao Zhuo understood the meaning of the emperor. Looking at the tiger talisman returned to his hand, he felt a little disappointed and also emotional. The tiger talisman turned around and finally returned to his hand. superior.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Zhao Zhuo knew that the emperor had already made up his mind about today's matter, and if he, a courtier, wanted to say anything, he just didn't know what to say.How many people want to get the tiger talisman, the military power they want to control, the emperor entrusted him to him, this is the emperor's trust in him as a general.

"General Zhao please hurry up, Dacheng can have a general like you, it is really a blessing for me and the emperor and all the people." The emperor personally helped up his general, no doubts, no doubts about employing people.Compared with the previous emperor's suspicion and fear of the Zhao family, the new emperor chose to trust the Zhao family and continue to reuse the Zhao family. The emperor expressed his attitude.

It is his loss as the emperor that such a good general will be abandoned.

Only when there is no war at the border, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, can the Dacheng Kingdom become more and more prosperous.The emperor does not understand this truth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Zhuo got up from the ground, and he had already expected this result. When he handed the tiger talisman back to the emperor, it was a little tentative. Returning it to his hands, the emperor had already given him the answer he wanted.

This day Li Wen was also in the palace, as early as a few days ago when the emperor called him into the palace to talk, he had already guessed what the emperor would do today, so he was not surprised by what happened today.Chaozhong now has the qualifications and ability to be the general of the Northwest

There are not many soldiers here, and they can be counted with one slap.If at this time, the emperor issued an order to replace the Northwest General and replace it with someone else, not to mention whether this person has the ability to be a good general, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest may not necessarily obey orders.

So in any case, it is definitely the best to let the original veteran General Zhao Zhuo Zhao continue to serve as the General of the Northwest.

The general of the Northwest holds the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops. These sounds good, but only those who really know and understand know that the border is bitter and cold, and the life of the soldiers at the border is not easy.When the first emperor was alive, he had always been afraid of the Zhao family, which was why Zhao Zhuo hadn't been able to return to the capital for so many years.

The imperial court has been so poor that it can’t even pay the Northwest Army’s military pay these years. It was not until he proposed business reforms, encouraged commerce, and vigorously developed commerce that the Ministry of Households had money to pay the Northwest Army’s military pay, so that the soldiers in the Northwest could have enough to eat Meal, you can eat a meal of meat every three days.Let's not mention these things for now, of course Li Wen doesn't think it's his fault alone.

After they went out, Prime Minister Fu still stayed behind and did not leave. Presumably the emperor left His Excellency Prime Minister with something to say to him.

After coming out of the palace, they arrived at Kezhilai.

It was almost noon at this time, and they happened to come here for a meal.The environment here is elegant, there are not many people, and it is also suitable for them to talk, so there is no need to worry about what they say being heard by outsiders.

"Uncle, master, please drink tea." Li Wen asked the maids serving in the box to go down, so that it would be convenient for them to talk.The people here are all their own people, so they can say whatever they want, and they don't have to worry about it being spread outside.

When they talked about being in the palace today, Zhao Zhuo sighed and said, "Hey, I thought I could stay in the capital to accompany your mother smoothly this time." General Zhao said this to his eldest son.

Zhao Xiangyi glanced at his father, but said nothing.

"Pfft..." Zhao Si knew what his brother was thinking a long time ago, so he couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, he didn't drink a cup of tea, or he would spit it out right now.Li Wen held back his smile and said, "Abbot, it's not impossible for you to come back to the capital. I have a way here, but it won't happen for a while, but it will take three or two years."

"Oh, you're talking about it." Zhao Zhuo became interested immediately.

He really wanted to stay with his wife, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over the tiger talisman, so he decided to resign from his official position and stay in the capital.It's a pity that he handed in the tiger talisman, and the emperor sent the tiger talisman back to him. Even if the emperor granted him an extra two months of vacation, after two months, he still had to return to the border.

Li Wen mentioned the matter of the military academy, and briefly explained what the military academy is, "The emperor intends to establish such a military academy. If this military academy is established, you will bring it back to the capital, Abo, to serve as the director of the military academy." The post of chief... and the emperor, it's not impossible to discuss it."

He had discussed this matter with the emperor, and the emperor had this intention. After some veterans retired from the battlefield, they could choose to hire someone back to be a teacher to teach students.These veterans who have fought in the battlefield have a wealth of experience against the enemy. These accumulated experiences can be taught to younger generations, and they will cultivate generations of outstanding generals for Dacheng.

But the establishment of such a military academy cannot be built in a short time.

When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he was very interested in the establishment of the military academy, "The military academy you mentioned is good, um, very good. If Dacheng can build such a military academy, it will be a great benefit for our Dacheng as a whole. The matter." The most important thing is that he can take this opportunity to return to the capital at that time, which is killing two birds with one stone.

"Haha, you still have a flexible mind, you don't have any problems." This is indeed true. He even managed to get the military pay for hundreds of thousands of troops at the border. Can't do it!

Then look at his own son sitting there silently, why is there such a big difference?

Zhao Zhuo even began to feel that the most right thing this son did was to find him such a smart son.

Li Wen chuckled, "Not anymore." He was a little embarrassed to be praised.He subconsciously glanced at the man sitting beside him, Zhao Xiangyi just turned his head, and the eyes of the two collided.

Zhao Xiangyi didn't feel any jealousy when his own father praised Mr. Li, on the contrary, he felt a little honored.

Then they talked about other things, mostly Li Wen and Zhao Zhuo were talking.Sitting with his nephew and listening, Zhao Si realized that the little apprentice had discussed so many things with his elder brother, which he didn't even know.

Sure enough, the little apprentice has grown up!

"Have a drink." Zhao Si held up his wine glass and signaled his nephew to have a drink.

Zhao Xiangyi picked up the cup, and the two clinked the cups. While drinking, they listened to the conversation of the two people beside them.
