Zhao Ji was very interested at this time.

First, as the supreme ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, he knew that the current Song Dynasty army had poor discipline and poor combat effectiveness, and it was difficult for him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the imperial court. Second, he himself is addicted to things such as cultivation, calligraphy and painting, flowers, stones, insects and fish, and is very conceited about his calligraphy, painting, poetry and writing, and at the same time he also wants to prove to the world that he is still an emperor who can revitalize the armed forces and expand the territory, and is the king of both culture and martial arts.

Therefore, he asked Gao Yu to form a new forbidden army, not only to better control the military power, but also to make a difference in the emperor's martial arts.

Previously, he had learned about Wu Song's brave fighting assassins and other deeds, and now he saw with his own eyes that Wu Song was talented, his martial arts were extraordinary, and the new forbidden army looked solemn and new, so he was naturally very happy.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Ji had a plan and said loudly: "Since all of you Aiqing think that today's competition is wonderful and Wu Song is a talent, then I naturally can't be too stingy." Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find, pass on my will: Wu Song will be appointed General Wuwei and the commander-in-chief of the new forbidden army from now on! ”

When the people present heard this, they all immediately felt that Emperor Zhao Ji really attached great importance to Wu Song. Don't look at Wu Song, who is already the deputy commander-in-chief of the new forbidden army, and he is only one step away from the commander-in-chief, but according to the practice of the imperial court in controlling military generals in the past, in order to prevent military generals from having too deep control over the army and forming private forces, it is difficult to directly promote a military general from the unit where he has been for a long time to a full-time position.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was in control of the army, so he was supported by his subordinates and took the Zhou Dynasty. He himself won the country in this way, and there are lessons from the pattern of military generals in the previous Tang Dynasty and the endless usurpation of power by military generals of the five dynasties and ten countries, so it is natural to be highly vigilant against similar dramas staged by military generals in this dynasty.

Wu Song has been serving in the New Forbidden Army, and now Zhao Ji directly promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the New Forbidden Army, and completely handed over this newly formed elite division to him, which can be said to be a break from convention, and it is also an exceptional trust in Wu Song.

Moreover, he was also awarded the post of General Wu Song Wuwei, which is a military position of the fourth grade. For a person like Wu Song who has no qualifications, this can be regarded as an exceptional promotion.

What Zhao Ji thought was: Since the new forbidden army is what he wants to form, he must firmly control this army in his own hands, so he must make great efforts to encircle generals like Wu Song in the army.

As Zhao Ji, who has a very high attainment in calligraphy and painting, thinks that his literary literacy is extremely high, and looks down on the world's scholars in his bones, he wants to prove that he can not only govern but also martial arts, and cultivate his loyal and capable generals. After all, although Gao Yu can control the forbidden army on his behalf, and Tong Guan also fights with the army, he is not a real general.

He is not worried, Wu Song will follow the example of the former generals in the future. Because, at this time, although the new forbidden army is an elite division, it has just been formed after all, and its overall strength is not large. What Zhao Ji wants is to have a truly capable general like Wu Song to further expand this army, and then consider other things.

However, for Zhao Ji to be so "emperor-magnificent", Wu Song did not have too strong feelings.

As a traverser, he is not the kind of person who would be grateful to the emperor. Moreover, he is not very familiar with the conventions of the Great Song Dynasty's control of the army, and he is not very clear that Zhao Ji has broken the convention by promoting himself in this way, which is very rare.

However, when he heard Zhao Ji's will, he was still happy in his heart.

Because, at least he understood, he was promoted again, and it was the emperor himself who promoted him. More importantly, serving as the commander-in-chief of the new forbidden army means that he no longer has to be controlled by high officials everywhere, and can better control this army.

In front of us is a peaceful and prosperous era, but the world will soon be in chaos: the Jin soldiers go south, Bianliang falls, and the people are displaced. In the face of this impending chaos, it is too important for him to have an army in his hands.

Therefore, he did not hesitate this time, and immediately thanked him according to the rules.

Zhao Ji was very satisfied. After promoting Wu Song, he announced two wills one after another: the first will, Gao Yu made meritorious contributions to the formation of the new forbidden army, and was officially promoted to the rank of lieutenant and mastered the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Gao Yu also hurriedly thanked him, his face was full of gratitude, and he couldn't see the slightest dissatisfaction. In fact, he was a little dissatisfied that Zhao Ji actually directly promoted Wu Song to be the commander-in-chief of the new forbidden army, completely handed over this latest army to Wu Song, and let Wu Song get out of his direct control. However, of course, he would never show it.

The second decree is to order Wu Song to lead the new forbidden army, temporarily integrate into the Tong Guan army, accept the Tong Guan army, and go out with Tong Guan!

This will naturally greatly exceeded Wu Song's expectations. Even Gao Yu felt a little stunned. Only Cai Jing, with a calm expression, seemed to have been expected for a long time.

Tong Guan was a big surprise.

Originally, today he lost Liu Yanqing, a general, and it can be said that he made a fool of himself in front of the emperor and the officials, and he naturally hated Wu Song even more for his exceptional promotion.

But now, the emperor actually ordered the mandarin duck spectrum, and assigned Wu Song and the new forbidden army to his command, went out with him, and accepted his supervision army.

This was a bonus, of course. Not only did he seize the fat of the new forbidden army, but he also controlled Wu Song. The so-called is not afraid of officials, but only afraid of management. Once Wu Song arrives under his command and accepts his prison army, isn't it at his disposal? Isn't it a dead end in the future?

As far as Zhao Ji is concerned, he promoted Gao Yu to be a lieutenant, and sent the new forbidden army to Tong Guan to supervise the army, on the one hand, to appease Gao Yu and Tong Guan, and on the other hand, he also wanted Wu Song and the new forbidden army to go to the battlefield to accept actual combat drills. He also felt that Tong Guan was loyal to him, and since Wu Song was the person he reused, Tong Guan would definitely support Wu Song well and would not treat Wu Song badly.

As a traverser, Wu Song is not a simple martial artist, and after learning the political strategy in the "Testament of Situ", he naturally immediately realized that the situation was unfavorable to him and the problem was serious, but he didn't know how to refuse the emperor for a while.

Emperor Jin Keyulu, although he now reuses Wu Song, is not familiar with Wu Song himself, and he may not be able to listen to Wu Song's words.

Seeing the smug look on Tong Guan's face and the cold eyes that glanced at Wu Song, Wu Song turned his heart sideways, and was furious with Long Yan, but also rejected Zhao Ji's mediocre decision.

At this moment, Cai Jing, who looked calm and motionless like a mountain, stood up and spoke for Wu Song: "Long live, the old minister thinks that Wu Song and the new forbidden army are not busy with Tong Guan on the expedition!" ”

Zhao Ji naturally attached importance to Cai Jing's words, and asked with a smile: "Why is this?" ”

Cai Jingdao: "The old minister thinks that the emperor wants Wu Song to go out with Master Tong, with good intentions, and the original intention is to let Wu Song and the new forbidden army go to the actual combat test. After all, although the new forbidden army has a strict appearance, its combat effectiveness can only be seen on the battlefield. However, whether or not Lord Tong led the army to go on another expedition is a matter of great importance and remains to be discussed. At the moment, there is a place where soldiers are also needed, which can be better used to test the combat power of the new forbidden army. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he said, "Oh? Where is Cai Aiqing talking about? ”
