"The Marshal is so serious..." Zhao Song was moved and a little flattered. "We... we... cannot afford to be so kind to the Marshal!"

"What can you afford to be worthy of it?" The Marshal glared at Zhao Song, "You are the emperor's chosen generals. The emperor thinks you can afford it. Do you dare to say that you can't afford it? Besides... you are all relatives in our Han army. If you can't afford it, I will protect you, who can afford it? They are all your own people, so don't say anything humble!"

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

However, he vaguely felt that the "all people" in the marshal's words seemed to have some other profound meaning.

"But I'll tell you clearly here. I'm so cruel to protect you, but it's not all for you." Before he could ask, the marshal changed his mind, "It's also for everyone!"

"Marson...what is this intention?" Zhao Song became even more puzzled, so he hurriedly asked, and the other two young people were not very clear either.

"So you are still young, and it's not time to take the lead..." Marshal Shi Manqiang shook his head and smiled slightly, "We are the same people present today, all of them are the same people, they are the nobles of the great man, and they are the top nobles, right? I am Duke, Zhao Song, you are already an uncle. I think you can be granted a marquis if you attack Japan this time, and you... you two young people are the eldest sons of the family, and they will be granted a marquis sooner or later, right?"

"Yes..." Zhao Song said hesitantly.

He wanted to be humble, but looking at the marshal's expression, he didn't want to be polite.

"Yes, we are all nobles. Although we have different titles and different backgrounds, we are all nobles of the Han Dynasty. They are all nobles of the Han Dynasty who follow the emperor to conquer the world. They are also the ones who are the same as the emperor and have the same heart as the Han Dynasty." Marshal Shi Manqiang's words still mean something. "The Han Dynasty started a country, its foundation has not been determined, and the world has not been completely stable, so the emperor cannot do anything to do anything, nor can we wait and wait..."

His sigh made the three of them even more confused, and they didn't understand why the marshal had to sigh like this on such a day.

"The Marshal seems to have something to say. I dare to ask... I dare to ask... Is the Marshal... Is he explaining important things to us?" Zhao Song has the highest qualifications among these people, so he finally spoke again.

"It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter," the Marshal's words were still a little strange, as if something was hidden. "I'm just saying that we old brothers who are marshals are really old now. In the future, the army of this great man will have to rely on the support of his younger brothers and children. You should wake up your mind and brighten your eyes as soon as possible, and don't lose the face of us old brothers!"

"Where is this Marshal's words?" Li Huanghe couldn't help laughing, "Although the Marshal has outstanding merits and profound qualifications, the Marshal is not old. On the contrary, it is in its prime. At this age, he is becoming more and more enterprising. Why should he say such... such...Muqi words?"

Although these words are sincere, there are always some young people who are unique to hard and straightforward. Speaking of which, this is also because he is the general of the General, Li Dajin, and he regards these marshals as his uncles, so he does not have so many concerns when speaking, not just because he is the confidence brought by the leader among the young army officers.

"Yes, Marshal, how many years have you made to make merit? We are still waiting for the Marshal's teaching and commander!" Zhao Song also quickly expressed his opinion.

"Hey, you guys..." Marshal Shi Manqiang couldn't help laughing, "I have to make meritorious contributions. When will I be the first? I am already a marshal. Can the emperor give me more rewards?"

Although he spoke calmly, the three of them couldn't help but change their faces.

Because this is really too significant.

Shi Manqiang was the emperor's closest brother and one of the founders of the Han army since its founding. He made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty and became the pinnacle of the imperial noble system. He was named Duke and was the highest minister.

Such a person suddenly said something that was afraid of being too powerful to shock the master, which was a bit shocking no matter how he looked at it.

And Zhao Song is the most shocking person among them.

"Marson..." He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Since ancient times, it has been the ambition of every passionate man to support Yulong to die for the king, support the wise ruler, fight for a marquis of thousands of households, and win a wife and son. However, after the establishment of the new dynasty is completed, the original passionate man will immediately face an embarrassing situation - they are no longer relied on by the wise ruler, but because of their huge power and military power, they have become the stings in front of the emperor.

Although Zhao Song did not read history very much, he had heard of the historical stories of Zhao Guanjia's releasing military power with the cup of wine in the Song Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who killed meritorious officials indiscriminately, especially because the era of the former Ming Dynasty was not very long, and the scale of killing meritorious officials was heartbroken, which made Zhao Song deeply shocked - after all, he knew that he had become a member of the heroes and nobles of the Han Dynasty. The predecessors of the former Ming Dynasty could not have felt sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.

Of course, the emperor today is still working hard to govern. He does not seem to be mean and polite. He still trusts and cares about these old brothers and subordinates very much, but who can tell the future clearly? To be honest, since the great man established himself and was named Earl, he has always hidden a lingering fear deep in Zhao Song's heart, fearing that he would also become a person disliked by the emperor.

However, he knew that his fear was meaningless. With the emperor's reputation and reputation in the army, it was not difficult to deal with such nobles as them. They could only bow their heads and wait for the destiny, and it was meaningless to think too much. Therefore, he often seized every opportunity to express his loyalty to the emperor, and also said that he did not have much personal ambitions, and just wanted to shed blood for the world of the Han Dynasty. If there really was a day, he could only expect the emperor to remember his loyalty, and just deprive him of military power like Song Taizu and let him go home and be a rich man, and don't really kill him like Ming Taizu.

Marshal Shi's words today touched the fear he hid in his heart. He was deeply afraid that his guess would become reality - Marshal Shi was at the top of the army again. Did he really hear any bad news? However... Judging from the emperor's attitude towards him a while ago, there shouldn't be the most terrible result... He thought to himself, he calmed down a little.

"Hey! I'll just say something casually, see how you scared you!" Marshal Shi couldn't help laughing again, "Don't worry, the emperor has no other intentions to us, don't think too much, scare yourself. What I mean is that although the emperor relies on us old brothers, I have made enough merits. What can I do if there are more? We can't keep robbing all the merits? If we always dominate the front and block the path of you younger generations, I'm afraid you won't be too convinced... This is not good."

"The Marshal said this too much..." Zhao Song was half relieved and half nervous, "We are full of respect for the Marshal, how could we feel resentful!"

"It is natural for you to admire, I believe it, but others may not be." Marshal Shi shook his head again, "I'll say again, we are nobles, we are together, we should be one mind, but others may not be like this!"

Zhao Song and others blinked, but they still didn't understand.

"Although the system set by the emperor is different from the civil and military paths, civil officials do not govern the military and military personnel, it has been said since ancient times that they are generals and ministers. Since we are nobles, this kind of thing may be indispensable in the future. Although we are independent of civil officials, we may not be able to become civil officials in the future, but what about our children and nephews? The population will naturally flourish under the nobles, and it is impossible for them to be thrown into the army to serve in the army, right? So... it won't take many years for our children and nephews to naturally penetrate into political affairs."

Marshal Shi raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the tea room compartment. He didn't know what he was thinking, "Besides, people like Prime Minister Wang, Xu Gongxiang, and Chen Caixiang, are they also nobles? In fact, we are great men, civil and military distinctions are not that strong. The real difference between nobles and non-nobles! You all respect me, but some people hope that I will run down quickly and let the people below me climb up to replace them, and then they will replace the people below, sharpening their heads and trying to get into the ranks of nobles!"

These words made Zhao Song and others realize something. They looked at each other, but no one said anything, just waiting for the marshal to continue sighing.

"So, let's go back to the original words, the nobles in the world are the family. We jointly protect the emperor and the great Han Dynasty. I support you, both for you and for my children and grandchildren whom you can support in the future, so you don't have to be so grateful to me..." The smile on the marshal's face had a little more unclear meaning, "Do you understand these? In the system of the great Han Dynasty, the emperor relies on the nobles, and the nobles form oneself, and you and I are all in the same spirit!"
