A group of officials despised Gao Yu in their hearts, and Emperor Zhao Ji actually knew what these people were thinking, but did it matter what they thought? Even if Gao Yu is useless, he is still his favorite courtier, without it...... Loyal, no ambition!

With military power in the hands of such a person, which emperor is not at ease?

Next is the cavalry formation of the guards Ma Junshi, and the teams of cavalry with bright armor and majestic armor are shouting and dancing under the high platform and shouting long live. Zhao Ji saw it well, and the people who were probing their brains in the distance were also applauding.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind Zhao Ji, and it vaguely seemed that Gao Yu was arguing with the squire of the military department.

Zhao Ji frowned: "Gao Aiqing, what's the noise?"

Gao Yu took a few steps forward and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, Zuo Shilang actually said that the cavalry trained by the minister is not good at riding!" Wei Chen didn't comply, so he argued with him for a few words. ”

Zhao Ji smiled indifferently: "There is no war in the Bianliang forbidden army, and sometimes most of the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty are in the west and Zhending generation to resist the barbarians, and even if it is worse, it is not a big deal......

The military system of the Great Song Dynasty is simply a mess, stinky like a toilet! Since the ancestors played a cup of wine and released the military power, the Great Song Dynasty's vigilance and suppression of all martial artists have become more and more extreme.

It stands to reason that the Great Song Dynasty has a total of four military systems, the forbidden army, the box army, and the township army. Coupled with the special recruitment of the border area to pacify the army.

There is no need to mention the township soldiers, they can be regarded as militias such as native soldiers and volunteers. The Xiang Army, which was supposed to be a garrison military force, has now become a garbage dump for recruiting displaced bandits. The movement of the forbidden army is under the command of the Sanya, but there is a Privy Council responsible for formulating plans and communicating with the center! All kinds of military equipment, grain and grass are planned to belong to the military department in name only...... It's simply bloated and corrupted to the extreme!

Gao Yu is now deeply favored by the emperor, and has added the title of captain and commanded all matters of the Sanya Forbidden Army. But first of all, the military department vaguely didn't want to see him, and Tong Guan, the prince of Chu State, who had been added to the position of privy envoy to the school captain, didn't take him seriously! The deputy envoy in the Privy Council or something is even more attached to the cabinet and does not bird him much, as for the Northwest Forbidden Army outside Bianliang...... In fact, it is already semi-independent!

This is also a helpless choice for more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Without it, it was beaten alive like this......

The civilian officials commanded the army and the eunuchs supervised the army until Zhao Ji ascended the throne...... In addition to the Zhejia army, it can still maintain its strong combat power, and the original Yang family and Wang family were all killed by the Great Song Dynasty themselves.

Fortunately, there are two species brothers who maintain a family army, which can be regarded as the best way to contain the Zhejia army, which has become more and more silent over the years, and Yao Pingzhong, the newly rising in Taiyuan City, these people ...... It is impossible to obey Gao Yu's command at all.

As for the forbidden army in Jiangnan...... That's a bunch of minions who collect taxes and grain! But all the armies with some combat strength are all in the west and Hebei, and the goods are all in Bianliang......

Therefore, what Gao Yu can really mobilize is actually the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops near Bianliang and the Xiang troops of several surrounding state capitals. Moreover, if he wants to pull the army out in full gear, he has to sign a letter in the Privy Council and the cabinet to issue a military amulet...... Otherwise, Gao Yu is equivalent to rebellion!

Of course, the cabinet and the Privy Council, who put down their weapons and armor and went out to work, serve and work to make money, and they can't see it, who told the court that they can't afford to pay enough military spending?

Emperor Zhao Ji's words seemed to hurt the young heart of the old football star Gao Yu, and this guy said with a little sadness: "Your Majesty...... The forbidden army lacks horses, all good horses can be selected by the Western Army and the Hebei Border Army, and the old minister does not dare to put his beak! But if we talk about the cavalry's riding skills, our Bianliang forbidden army is not convinced by the cavalry elsewhere......"

The soldier sneered: "The Duke of Chu has just returned from victory in the west, and he happens to be accompanied by the guards of the Northwest Frontier Army who fought against the Western Xia barbarians...... If Captain Gao is not convinced, how about letting your Bianliang Forbidden Army and Tong Guogong's western cavalry compete? ”

Cai You, who had been standing behind the emperor, suddenly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the athletes in the west under the command of Tong Guogong are superb in riding and archery, why shouldn't Your Majesty allow them to come down and let them have a competition?"

Zhao Ji should ...... in his heart Why are you guys joining forces to give Gao Yu a bad drug? Although Gao Yu is not a good thing, he will never offend you, right? Gao Yu is too, in the past, when these people squeezed him, he usually regarded it as listening to farts...... What kind of mad medicine did you take today? Compete with Tong Guan's western border army, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, and you don't want to be embarrassed!

Before Zhao Ji could speak, Tong Guan smiled slightly: "The Bianliang Forbidden Army guards Your Majesty, how does it compare with the border army that is accustomed to fighting?"

Good guy, Gao Yuden is not happy! He bowed to Zhao Ji and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a few good horses in his hands!" The old minister is not convinced, and he wants to compete with the northwest athletes under Tong Guogong......"

Zhao Ji couldn't cry or laugh, are you crazy? Do you really think I don't know what your forbidden army is doing all day long? digging ditches, filling rivers, cutting grass and farming, and especially having to help the powerful ministers of the entire Bianliang to repair houses, build Zhuangzi and build houses...... Everyone knows that the forbidden army has insufficient military spending, so don't be enthusiastic?

"This ...... Gao Qing, this matter ......"

Cai You, who was behind him, suddenly glanced at Gao Yu and said with a smile: "Since it's a gambling fight, what's the prize?" Your Majesty is still here, and if any of you lose, you must admit punishment! ”

Gao Yu stiffened his neck and said: "Bet on it, although the old man is honest and honest, it is not too difficult to take out a thousand taels of silver, I don't know if the Duke of Chu dares to gamble?"

Tong Guan smiled: "It just so happens that the old minister captured thirty good horses from the Xixia people in the west, in addition to one thousand taels of silver, how about thirty horses?"

Gao Yu stretched out his palm and slapped Tong Guan with a snap...... "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

Good guy, the ministers in the four places immediately looked at Tong Guan like stupid coins...... Tong Guan is a battle-hardened old fritter even if he is wasted, you gamble with a player who was born to play football, do you have to make him embarrassed?

Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied, but saw Gao Yu suddenly turn over and fall to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive your Majesty...... It's just that the old minister just wants to train His Majesty's army well, although there are many difficulties, but the old minister has no regrets! It is indeed indecent for important officials of the court to gamble and fight......"

Everyone is secretly vomiting, why do you know it's indecent? This is a loss of decency...... Majesty sweeps the floor! Even Wang Hao was already secretly planning whether to let the two imperial historians go out to impeach them and give himself a sense of existence in front of Zhao Ji.
