Zhao Zhen's idea was to retrain the forbidden army into an army that could go on a northern expedition, but he had no authority now, and no one would approve of his idea. Because of the emergence of secret arts, everyone's hopes are pinned on this, because before the secret arts, no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives.

This is the reason for the rapid abandonment of the armies of the Song and Liao countries, and those who have not come into contact with the core of the secret art and those who do not know the situation have pointed the finger at the rulers, believing that peace has consumed the blood of the rulers, so that the army is like a fictitious and low combat effectiveness. The forbidden army has become a shelter for the homeless, and the treasury has to spend a lot of money every year as military salaries, although the economy is developed, it cannot afford to squander, and disarmament was once put on the agenda. For this kind of problem, the imperial court has always adopted the principle of laissez-faire, because on the bright side, it is indeed necessary to have a considerable number of forbidden troops to act as a façade, not how strong the combat effectiveness of these forbidden troops is.

The imperial court did not expect anything from such an army, nor did it want to train talents from it. Therefore, the only place where Zhao Zhen can intervene now is the forbidden army, this army of the old, weak, sick and disabled waiting for death, someone must go to the devil training and regain the glory of the past.

The forbidden army was abandoned by the imperial court and was outside the power of Empress Liu, which gave Zhao Zhen a chance. In the days when Zhao Xuan went to Liao, he was not idle, on weekdays, he respectfully greeted him in the morning and evening, and did not ask about the affairs of the court and politics as usual, so that Empress Liu could rest assured, and at the same time he had an additional hobby, eating flowers and wine.

"Second brother, can you help me revive the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty? Something great? ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean to start with the forbidden army and train an army belonging to the East Palace?" Zhao Xuan comprehended.

"That's right, the Empress must have thought that the ordinary forbidden army was no match for the Mystic Army at all, and she would definitely not notice it. Indeed, the Mystic Army is one of the hundreds, but the forbidden army is the main force, Taizu created the forbidden army to sweep the north and south to achieve a hegemony, this army just lacks wise generals and training methods. I don't think it's any worse than the Mystic Army after training. ”

Zhao Zhen's words made Zhao Xuan feel quite comforted, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really grown up, and he has discovered the loophole in the power of the palace, that is, the unmanaged forbidden army. If the forbidden army can be rigorously trained, it will definitely become the division of a hundred battles that Taizu fought the world at the beginning.

It's just that why Xiao Xun and Empress Liu are keen on secret arts, and are unwilling to invest heavily in building the army, their real purpose is puzzling, Zhao Xuan can only vaguely guess that this may be some kind of common interest between the two countries, or something common between those who seek the country. Their focus is on the secret arts, from which they select talented boys and girls to form a secret army, and firmly believe that the secret army can bring them infinite glory.

Zhao Xuan does have a common feeling about this, after practicing the Heavenly Book and the Heavenly Latitude and Earth Strategy, he broke through the boundaries of ordinary people, allowing him to have superpowers to face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles in this world. However, is this ability used to conquer the world or protect the world?

"Although the queen has not been involved in the forbidden army system, but the blatant training of the forbidden army is too public, I have a way, I don't know if you can deign to go there, second brother?" Zhao Zhen said.

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince orders, I will definitely go to the soup and fire."

"The place I want you to go to is a Qingshui Yamen, the Flying Fish Pavilion where officials are on vacation and report."

The Flying Fish Pavilion, as its name suggests, is as free as a flying fish, but it is extremely leisurely. No one wants to go there. The daily work is to register the officials' personal leave reports. There were many holidays in the Song Dynasty, which could be described as a small holiday for three days and a big holiday for five days. But every time you take a vacation, you have to report and register, and no one wants to do the hard work of a registrar, because this job is the endorsement of hard work. In such a welfare and sound system of the Song Dynasty, there is still this kind of Qingshui Yamen, obviously Zhao Zhen's intention is obvious, and he placed Zhao Xuan to this place where no one pays attention to and can contact officials big and small, just so that Zhao Xuan can quickly understand the current official system and begin to cultivate the prince's power.

Zhao Zhen became the crown prince and installed a cronie to go to the deserted Flying Fish Pavilion in order to test the reaction of the queen's forces to see if she could still remain as indifferent as before.

Flying Fish Court.

Zhao Xuan came to this Qingshui Yamen early in the morning, and saw that the front of the Flying Fish Pavilion was very deserted, and an old man about sixty years old was sitting at the door napping.

Zhao Xuan wanted to step forward to wake up the old man, but after thinking about it, he stepped past him lightly. He came to Flying Fish Pavilion on an important mission.
