In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Tang Luo came to Xiangzhou from the fallen Tokyo Bianliang, and he told Zhao Gou that the imperial court was feudal and superstitious, and sent a god stick to the head of Bianliang City, and actually wanted to repel the Jin soldiers by sticking talismans, but as a result, it was naturally a complete defeat, and the outer city of Bianliang City was lost. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After the fall of the outer city, Qinzong did not dare to fight out of the siege, let alone fight against the water, so he led the Zaizhi team to the Jinying camp to beg for surrender.

Hearing that Song Qinzong had already entered the gold camp, Zhao Gou, who was full of selfish thoughts, and Wang Boyan, who was ill-intentioned, were both moved in their hearts, and the two inadvertently glanced at each other. Zhao Gou's eyes widened, and he said in his heart, Wang Boyan, you are a traitor, and you dare to look at me? Wang Boyan was already weak-hearted, but at this time, he suddenly saw Zhao Gou glaring at him, he was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head to act like a loyal minister and filial son.

After Zhao Gou glared, he found that he was quite majestic in Wang Boyan's heart, and he was still happy, although he couldn't figure out whether his majesty came from his bloodline or the army. But it is always a good thing to have majesty in the heart of a traitor. Zhao Gou beckoned everyone to quickly carry Tang Beijia to the inner room, and then called the doctor to diagnose and treat him, and when he was done, he sat back on the chair, supported his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated, looking pensive and sad.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Tang Luo's affairs were dealt with, the guards went out one after another to run errands, and the eunuchs also went to re-prepare the meal, leaving only Wang Boyan to sit on the side with low eyebrows, with a posture of whispering to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou adjusted his mood and pretended to be very polite and asked, "Wang Shuai, do you have anything to tell me when you stay?" ”

Wang Boyan arched his hand and said, "Generalissimo, many soldiers have performed well in the competition, in addition to the required gold and silver, my subordinates don't know if they want to give them any rewards?" ”

Zhao Gou scratched his eyebrows, remembering that when he was in Cizhou, he had discussed with Zong Ze whether he should follow the example of the Qin State and inspire the army with military exploits. Who knew that Zong Ze immediately objected, and explained that the Qin people were able to motivate the army with military merits and rewards because at that time, the Qin State swallowed the world, and one country accepted the land wealth of the six countries, fed the war with war, and replaced production with plunder, so it could naturally support the military merit system. And now, every piece of land was originally the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the owners of the land were all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were not so many surplus resources to support the war system.

When Zhao Gou heard this, he suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of historical dogmatism in the past. Zong Ze is right, we should follow history, but at the same time, we must also understand the similarities and differences between the current situation and history. If you blindly copy it without a thorough analysis, I am afraid that you will become a fool like Wang Mang and Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Gou rubbed his chin that didn't grow a beard, so if you want to motivate the army, you should probably use medals or honorary incentives such as first-class merit and second-class merit. So, Zhao said, "In this way, except for the official positions of the ten-captain and the centurion; such a title as a military rank; Let's have another medal system. ”

"The subordinates listen quietly." Wang Boyan arched his hand and responded immediately.

Zhao Gou took the brush, simply drew a sketch pattern of the medal, and then said, "The medal is a bit similar to the Danshu iron coupon, but the requirements are not so strict, as long as the sergeant has made meritorious contributions, the medal can be awarded to him as an honorary mark." A city was saved, and a defender's medal was awarded; recovered Yanyun and awarded a unified medal. A special pattern is made on the front of the medal, and the name of the recipient and the unit are engraved on the back. Then according to the size of the merit, it is divided into first, second, and third classes. For example, the last time the Jin soldiers went south, Li Gang held Bianliang City, and according to his merits, he should be awarded the Order of the First Class Defender. ”

Wang Boyan took the medal and thought it was interesting, so he slapped his beard and said, "King Shengming, it's really difficult for his subordinates to be in trouble." So what medals do we award to the winners of the contest this time? ”

Zhao Gou thought for a moment and said, "The National Warrior Medal, with a dragon engraved on the front. ”

Wang Boyan was shocked when he heard Zhao Gou say this, and said repeatedly, "The king can't, never allow, the dragon is used by the royal family, how can it be engraved on the medal and awarded to the soldiers!?" It is enough to engrave the dragon's eye. ”

Zhao Gou smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "There are people in the world who belong to dragons, and there are people surnamed dragons, and no one objects to this, why not award a medal with a dragon as a tattoo?" ”

Wang Boyan was speechless for a while when he heard Zhao Gou say this, but he was obviously still worried, so he sighed and said, "Then the king, this medal is only awarded to a few people." ”

"Of course", Zhao Gou's eyebrows stretched, "National warriors, of course there can't be more." For the first place in each item, a national warrior medal will be awarded, and you will first draw up a draft proof, and the marshal will personally examine and approve the style of the medal. Speaking of this, Zhao Gou remembered that Wei Chixin should be the first in the archery event, but unfortunately, his escape was the first, and he couldn't be used by the country. Thinking of this, Zhao Gou sighed. Who knew that Wang Boyan spoke in unison with him and sighed.

I only heard this Wang Boyan ask, "Today, a masked boy named Wei Chixin shot the gold ring and the jade ring continuously, doesn't he also deserve a medal?" ”

"Of course," Zhao Gou said without thinking, "his name is engraved on the back, and I will award it to him when we have the opportunity to meet in the future." ”

"King," Wang Boyan suddenly moved his fingers a few times, Lan Qi Kanglu recently taught Zhao Gou a lot of tips to know people, including talking about meeting people, if you observe the sincerity. They mentioned that if a person suddenly has a detailed restlessness in body language that he has never felt before, touching his nose, moving his feet, and moving his fingers, it means that the person is nervous and the critical moment has arrived. Zhao Gou saw Wang Boyan's fingers move slightly, and smiled slightly in his heart, thinking, it seems that the following words are the purpose of this traitor to see him, but he has to listen carefully.

At this time, Wang Boyan's tone was still calm and casual as usual, which showed that this person's skills were not shallow, so he only listened to him, "King, now the story of Yu Chi Gongzi's camp gate shooting away the Nine Dragon Ring has been opened in the whole of Hebei, and the villagers are all convinced that the king is a person who can be trusted." However, there are still soldiers who have heard that Prince Yu Chi compares you to Shang Jun and Wu Xinhou. ”

Zhao Gou heard Wang Boyan say this, he felt inexplicable, he originally thought that Wang Boyan was going to say bad things about Zong Ze or Yue Fei to him, so he listened to it more seriously than ever, but he couldn't imagine that Wang Boyan was so nervous and serious, and the result was to state a fact? Zhao Gou was a little impatient, nodded disappreciatively, and admitted, "Yes, that's what Wei Chixin said. ”

Wang Boyan paused for a long time, and kept looking at Zhao Gou with strange eyes, seeing that Zhao Gou didn't have any special reaction, as if he was a little anxious, he looked left and right, and he didn't take his breath very well. Zhao Gou just felt that Wang Boyan was inexplicable, what was this person anxious about?

Suddenly, Wang Boyan seemed to understand, his eyes lit up, he leaned over to Zhao Gou, and asked, "King, my subordinates remember that the King fell into the water in Cizhou last month and lost his memory. The subordinates dare to ask the king, do you remember who the Marquis of Wu Xin is? ”

Zhao Gou was happy and responded, "Don't hide it, I really don't remember who Wu Xinhou is." ”

"King," Wang Boyan's face was sweating, he was close to his body, lowered his voice, and said nervously, "Marquis Wuxin, it is the title of Emperor Wu of Han Guangwu when he was a general!" ”
