"The marshal is serious......," Zhao Song was moved, but also a little flattered. We...... We...... How can you be worthy of such love from the marshal! ”

"What can you afford to be?" The marshal glared at Zhao Song, "You are the important generals appointed by the emperor, the emperor thinks you can afford it, but you dare to say that you can't afford it?" Besides...... You are all relatives and nobles in our Han army, if you can't afford me to escort you, who can afford it? It's all your own people here, and there's less to say about modesty! ”

Zhao Song was a little embarrassed by his harsh words, but he was still very grateful for the other party's kindness.

However, he vaguely felt that the "all of them are his own people" in the marshal's mouth seemed to have some other deep meaning.

"However, I will also make it clear to you here, I am so ruthless to escort you, in fact, it is not all for you." Before he could ask, the marshal directly changed his words, "It's also for everyone!" ”

"Marshal...... What is the purpose of this? Zhao Song was even more inexplicable, so he hurriedly asked, and the other two young people also didn't look very good.

"So you're still young, and it's not time for you to take the lead......" Marshal Shi Manqiang shook his head slightly and smiled, "Those of us here today are all the same people, all of us are nobles of the Han Dynasty, and they are top nobles, right?" I am the Duke of the Kingdom, Zhao Song, you are already an uncle, I think you will be able to make a marquis if you fight Japan this time, and you ...... You two young people are the eldest sons in the family, and sooner or later you will be able to become a marquis, right? ”

"Yes......" Zhao Song said hesitantly.

He wanted to be modest, but looking at the marshal's look, he didn't want to say polite words.

"That's right, we are all nobles, although there are high and low titles, although there are different backgrounds and qualifications, but now we are all nobles of the Han Dynasty, and we are all people who follow the emperor to fight the world, and we are also the people who are most in line with the emperor and the Han." Marshal Shi Manqiang's words still mean something. "The Han Dynasty founded the country, the foundation has not been decided, and the world is not completely stable, so the emperor can't wait for the emperor, and I can't wait for it......"

His short sigh made the three of them even more confused, and they didn't understand why the marshal made such an exclamation on such a day.

The marshal seemed to mean something, and dared to ask...... Dare to ask the marshal...... Is it to explain something important to us? Among these people, Zhao Song had the highest qualifications, so he finally spoke again.

"It's not important to say that it's important, but it's not necessarily important to say it," the marshal's words were still a little strange, as if there was something hidden, "I'm just saying, we, the old brothers who are marshals, are really old now, and in the future, the army of this big man will have to rely on the support of the younger brothers and the younger generations, you should put your brains awake as soon as possible, keep your eyes bright, and don't lose the face of our old brothers!" ”

"Marshal, where are these words?" Li Huanghe couldn't help laughing, "Although the marshal has outstanding achievements and profound qualifications, the marshal is not old, on the contrary, it is in full bloom. At this age, it is the time to become more enterprising and lead us to more feats, so why say this...... So...... Twilight is coming? ”

Although these words are sincere, there are always some hard and straightforward people who are unique. Speaking of which, this is also because he is the general Yingchuan Hou Li Dajin, so he regards these marshals as his uncles, so he doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks, not just because he is the leader of the younger generation of officers in the army.

"Yes, marshal, how many years of meritorious service do you have left, and we are still waiting for the marshal's teaching and command!" Zhao Song also hurriedly expressed his position.

"Hey, you guys......" Marshal Shi Manqiang couldn't help laughing, "If you want to make meritorious deeds, when will you be a head?" I'm already a marshal, can the emperor give me more? ”

Although he said it lightly, the three of them couldn't help but change their faces.

Because that's a big deal.

Shi Manqiang is the emperor's closest elder brother, and one of the founders of the Han army since its inception, who has made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and has also become the apex of the imperial noble system.

Such a person suddenly said something that was afraid of the master, no matter how you look at it, it is a little surprising.

And Zhao Song is the most shocking person among them.

"Marshal......" he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.

Since ancient times, it is the ambition of every hot-blooded man to carry the jade dragon to die for the king, support the Ming Lord, fight a marquis of ten thousand households, and seal the wife and shadow son, but it is really the ambition of every hot-blooded man to support the Ming Lord successfully, and after the establishment of the new dynasty is completed, the original hot-blooded men will immediately face an embarrassing situation - they are no longer relied on by the Ming Lord, but because they have huge power and military power, they have become a thorn in front of the emperor.

Although Zhao Song doesn't read history very much, he has heard the historical stories of Zhao Guan's family in the Song Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang's indiscriminate killing of heroes in the Ming Dynasty, especially because the era of the former Ming Taizu is not particularly old, and the scale of the indiscriminate killing of heroes makes people palpitate, so Zhao Song is particularly shocked - after all, he knows that he has also become a member of the heroes and nobles of the Han Dynasty, and those predecessors of the former Ming Dynasty cannot help but have some sad emotions about the death of rabbits and foxes.

Of course, the current emperor is still working hard, and it seems that there is no sign of being mean and unkind, and he still trusts and cares for these old brothers and subordinates, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future? To tell the truth, since the Great Han established himself as an earl, deep in Zhao Song's heart, he has always hidden a lingering sense of fear, fearing that he will also become a person who is disliked by the emperor.

However, he knew that his fear was meaningless, with the emperor's prestige and prestige in the army and in the country, it was not difficult to really deal with these nobles of them, they could only bow their heads and tie their necks, waiting for the fate, and there was no point in thinking about it. Therefore, he often seized every opportunity to express his loyalty to the emperor, and also said that he did not have many personal ambitions, and only thought about shedding blood for the world of the Han Dynasty.

Today's words of Marshal Shi just touched the sense of fear hidden in his heart, and he was deeply afraid that his guess would come true - Marshal Shi was in a high position and was the apex in the army, could he really hear any bad news? But...... Judging from the emperor's attitude towards himself a while ago, there should not be the most terrible result...... He thought to himself, calming himself down a little.

"Hey! I'll just say it casually, and see what you've been scared of! Marshal Shi couldn't help but laugh again, "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't mean anything else to us, don't think about it, scare yourself." What I mean is just, although the emperor relies on us old brothers, but I have made enough meritorious deeds, what can I do if I have more? We can't just keep snatching away all the merits, right? If we keep dominating the front and blocking the way of you younger generations, I'm afraid you won't be too convinced...... That's not good. ”

"The marshal's words are too much......" Zhao Song was half relieved and half nervous, "We are full of admiration for the marshal, how can we have resentment!" ”

"You admire, that's natural, I believe, but others may not." Marshal Shi shook his head again, "I'll say it again, we are nobles, we are together, and we should have one heart, but this may not be the case with others!" ”

Zhao Song and the others blinked, still very incomprehensible.

"Although the system set by the emperor is a civil and military career, civil officials do not govern the army and military people do not get involved in politics, but since ancient times, it is said that the generals are in the prime minister, since we are nobles, then I am afraid this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future. Although we are independent of the civil service, I am afraid that we will not be able to transfer to the civil service in the future, but what about our children and nephews? Under the honor, the population will naturally prosper, and it is impossible for everyone to be thrown into the army as soldiers, right? So...... It won't take many years for our children, nephews, and grandchildren to naturally infiltrate politics. Marshal Shi raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the tearoom cubicle, not knowing what he was thinking, "Besides, people like Prime Minister Wang Cheng, Xu Gongxiang, and Chen Caixiang, aren't they also nobles?" In fact, our big man, the distinction between civil and military is not so strong, and the real difference is between the noble and the non-noble! All of you look up to me, but some of you want me to run down and let the people below me climb up and take my place, and then they go to take the place of those below, and sharpen their heads to get into the ranks of the nobles! ”

Zhao Song and the others were enlightened by these words, and they each looked at each other, but no one said anything more, just waiting for the marshal to continue to sigh.

"So, let's go back to the original words, the nobles of the world are a family, we jointly defend the emperor, but also defend the Han Dynasty, I carry you, not only for you, but also for my children and grandchildren who you can carry in the future, so you don't have to be so grateful to me......" The smile on the marshal's face was a little more ambiguous, "Do you understand this?" In the system of the Han Dynasty, the emperor relies on the nobles, and the nobles are self-contained, and you and I are the same spirit! ”

As Cai Guogong Shi Manqiang said, today's Han Dynasty, Xungui does faintly have a sign of self-containment, Xungui is not only one when he fights in the army, but even usually, there are many intermarriages between each other, such as Li Huanghe, his wife is an old comrade-in-arms of his father, the daughter of an old officer who is now named an earl, and now he has given birth to a son, and Ma Tongji has also married the daughter of a viscount.
