Chapter 183: Zhao Shu's Temptation
"Train a group of generals with the same ideas and goals?" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji couldn't help but repeat it, and their faces also showed a contemplative look, but soon they all looked at Zhao Yan suspiciously, because they really didn't have any clue about it.
Zhao Yan knew that Zhao Shu and they couldn't figure it out, and immediately spoke again: "If you want to train a group of generals with the same ideas and goals, you have to mention the military academy, the so-called military academy, in fact, is similar to the academy of scholars, they are all used to learn, but the military academy learns all kinds of military arts, and in addition, it is necessary to militarize the students, and at the same time, because of the particularity of the military school, it is necessary to instill the idea of loyalty and patriotism to all the students. The generals who are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, if all the generals of the army are served by these cadets, then the standardization of the army is just around the corner! ”
"Military school? Military academy! Military academy! After listening to Zhao Yan's description of the military school, Zhao Shu first became excited from the initial suspicion, and the whole person also felt that his train of thought was opened all of a sudden, although the military school never appeared, but through Zhao Yan's description, he had vaguely seen the huge impact on the Great Song Dynasty army after the establishment of the military school.
"Third brother, before you said that you asked Yang Huaiyu to train those who lose weight, it is not that weight loss is secondary, but you want Yang Huaiyu to establish this military academy?" At this time, Zhao Yan also reacted, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Yan's previous words.
"Hehe, what the eldest brother said is good. Since those civil officials want to suppress Yang Huaiyu, the fourth generation of the Yang family, then simply let Yang Huaiyu give up the idea of entering the army and help the Great Song Dynasty train generals, anyway, many of those who lost weight were born in the generals, and these people are very likely to enter the army in the future, if they can be trained in advance, it is much better than not knowing anything in the future. Zhao Yan said with a smile at this time, although the goal of the military academy is ambitious, but the meal must be eaten in one bite, and the military academy cannot be established in one day. Yang Huaiyu's weight loss class. It's better to think of it as the predecessor of a military school.
Compared with Zhao Yan's relaxation, Zhao Shu walked around the room with a stern face, and he was also very yearning for the prospects after the establishment of the military academy. But soon reason told him. If he established a military academy with great fanfare. It will definitely be unanimously obstructed by the civil official group, and now that he is in a critical period of fighting for power with Empress Dowager Cao, he must not lose the support of those ministers. So for the matter of the military school, he is also powerless now.
However, Zhao Shu then thought that he could not support the military academy for the time being, but it did not mean that Zhao Yan could not do it, he was just an idle king now, although he had a position of adviser in the military weapons superintendent, but he could not go once in ten days and half a month, and the ministers of the court would not care too much about Zhao Yan at all, plus the current military academy was ostensibly in the name of weight loss, which would make people think that this was a joke, which also gave the military academy a condition for secretly exhibiting.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu also showed a clear smile on his face, he finally figured out the reason why Zhao Yan told himself about the military school, it turned out that he didn't want to get any support from himself, he just wanted to let himself know in his heart, if he encountered anything in the future, he would also secretly help.
"Yan'er, your good intentions are understood for your father, and the affairs of the military academy will be handed over to you for the time being, you don't have to worry about other aspects, you just need to build the framework of the military academy with Yang Huaiyu, as for the financial and material resources needed, you can go to Huang Wude, and he will meet your requirements!" In the end, Zhao Shu explained to Zhao Yan with a solemn face.
"The retainers obey!" Zhao Yan was also overjoyed when he heard this, the reason why he chose to sue Zhao Shu was to get this assurance from the other party, but then Zhao Yan thought of one more thing, and said again at the moment, "Daddy, although the military academy cannot be made public for the time being, the position of the principal of the military academy must be established, and this position is only suitable for daddy!" ”
"Haha, I don't have this time for my father, since this military school was proposed by Yan'er, so the position of principal is still up to you!" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu laughed out loud as if he didn't seem to care.
"This is not good, the military academy cultivates my military talents in the future of the Great Song Dynasty, the first thing they learn in the military academy is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, so the principal of the military academy must be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so that it can have a better effect, in the future, these students graduate, they can also be protégés of the Son of Heaven, so you don't have to resign, and when the eldest brother succeeds to the throne in the future, this principal will also be taken by the eldest brother!" Zhao Yan said with a serious face when he heard this, but he had some doubts in his heart, with Zhao Shu's wisdom, he should be able to see the importance of the position of the principal of the military academy, why did he let himself take on it just now, could it be that he was testing whether he had ambitions?
Hearing Zhao Yan's insistence on letting himself be the principal, Zhao Shu was also certain in his heart, and at the same time, some hanging hearts were also put down, he naturally knew very well about the importance of the military school, but just now he was suddenly a little worried, Zhao Yan was so good, and he also put forward the idea of a military school, did he want to compete with his eldest brother Zhao Xu? However, seeing that Zhao Yan refused the position of principal of the military academy without hesitation, this made Zhao Shu finally put his mind at ease, if Zhao Yan wanted to compete for the position, it would be absolutely impossible to give up this opportunity to increase his strength.
In contrast, Zhao Ji has been immersed in the beautiful fantasy after the establishment of the military school, and there is no temptation between his father and younger brother, but even if he knows, with Zhao Ji's character, he will not be afraid at all, because he is a very confident person, in his opinion, among the four brothers, only he is suitable to sit on the throne, as for Zhao Yan, who has a good table during this time, Zhao Ji doesn't care at all, because in his opinion, although his third brother has become much smarter because of the fairy fate, his personality is still very lazy, I'm afraid that even if he gave up the throne to him, he would be too lazy to sit.
For the time being, the matter of the military academy was decided first, because considering the reaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as Zhao Shu's current special situation, it was really not appropriate to make it public, and Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu could only be secretly responsible. However, Zhao Shu agreed to serve as the principal of the military academy, and Zhao Yan also hung up the idle post of vice principal, and Zhao Yan served as the military superintendent, in charge of the discipline of the military school, which is equivalent to the teaching director of the school in later generations, as for Yang Huaiyu, he is not only the chief instructor of the military school, but also the only Mr. of the art of war in the military school. It's all up to him.
Wait until Zhao Shu and the three of them come out of the side hall. The family banquet in the main hall was also over, and Zhao Yan left with Cao Ying at the moment, Princess Shoukang and Princess Bao'an also wanted to leave together, but they were called by the Empress Dowager Cao. said that they would accompany them for the New Year. In addition, the little fat man Zhao Hao was also left by Zhao Shu. So in the end, only Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were left from the palace.
"Third brother, stay here!" Just as Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were about to get into the carriage when they left the inner palace, they suddenly heard a familiar voice behind them. Hearing this, both of them were a little surprised. When they turned around, they saw their eldest sister, Princess Dening, walking over with a smile.
"Sister, do you have something wrong?" Zhao Yan also showed a smile at that time and said, for his eldest sister, although it was the first time he had seen him, he felt pretty good, just now I saw her chatting with Princess Bao'an, Princess Shoukang, and Cao Ying, and she was probably a very good person to deal with.
"Giggles, I'm not looking for the third brother to you, but I have a few words to say to Sister Ying'er." Princess Dening smiled, and then pulled Cao Ying to the other side of the carriage and muttered in a low voice, I don't know what the two women were talking about?
After a long while, I saw Princess Dening holding Cao Ying's little hand and walking over affectionately, and then gently pushed her to Zhao Yan's side and said with a smile: "Okay, the eldest sister is done, now return your little wife to you!" ”
For this hearty eldest sister, Zhao Yan was also a little crying and laughing, but Cao Ying said: "The eldest sister is pregnant, it's better to go back early, otherwise the concubine may come to the palace to find someone!" ”
Hearing Cao Ying's teasing, Princess Dening giggled again, and then said goodbye to Zhao Yan and them, and boarded the carriage to go back, at this time Zhao Yancai and Cao Ying also got into the carriage, and after sitting down, Zhao Yan asked curiously: "Lady, what did the eldest sister muttered to you just now?" ”
"Hehe, it's all some family business matters, Wang Juma has a sister, the family opened a big oil mill, the business was not very good before, I heard that our soap workshop uses a lot of oil, so I want to sell the oil produced by the oil mill to us, in addition, the eldest sister's family also has a business in the south, so I want to order some soap from our soap workshop, and then transport it to the south to sell, are some small things that are not on the table, just now at the family banquet the eldest sister was embarrassed to say, so I chose this time to mention a few words, I just agreed." Cao Ying said very easily.
Hearing that it turned out to be a business matter, Zhao Yan didn't ask anymore, in most aristocratic families, doing business is a woman's business, and few men take care of business, of course, like Cao Song, who is really unsuccessful, will be sent by the family to manage the family's business.
Zhao Yan's carriage left the palace from Xihuamen, and rushed along Xijiaolou Street to his own county palace, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the street is also very lively, although the merchants are closed, but there are many wealthy people set off fireworks, so the streets are full of people watching the fireworks, children drill around in the crowd, and from time to time they will light their own artillery battles and throw them into the crowd, which attracts a burst of chickens and dogs, as well as the laughter and scolding of many people.
Looking at this lively scene on the streets of Tokyo, coupled with the fact that the affairs of the military academy have been completed, Zhao Yan is in a very comfortable mood, but thinking that sixty years later, the bustling Tokyo city in front of him will be ravaged by the barbaric Jurchens, Zhao Yan can't help frowning, especially thinking of the insults suffered by the women in the city and the Zhao royal family after the city is broken, Zhao Yan suddenly felt his blood surge, and there was a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"Sixty years, if my life is long enough, I should still be alive at that time, and there will be countless children and grandchildren, even if I don't care about life and death, but I must not watch my children and grandchildren receive any insults!" Zhao Yan said to himself in an inaudible voice at this time, for the sake of himself and his children and grandchildren, he must prevent the birth of that tragedy in history no matter what!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan turned his head to look at Cao Ying, who was happily admiring the night view beside him, and then turned his head to look in the northeast direction, and the thoughts in his mind also seemed to fly over Tokyo and the Great Song Dynasty, flew over the vast land of Liao, and finally fell between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast of the later generations, where a barbarian nation lives, although this nation is still being oppressed and exploited by the Liao State all the time, but with the weakening of the Liao State, this group of barbarians has begun to slowly accumulate strength, as long as the opportunity comes, it will burst out with amazing strength, Both the Song and Liao countries would tremble because of this barbaric nation, but now that Zhao Yan is here, when he made up his mind to prevent the tragedy of the Great Song Dynasty decades later, he also doomed the tragic fate of this barbarian nation.
