Zhao Heng didn't know what the young guard was thinking. When Xue Qiang and him were only sixteen or seventeen years old, they were less than twenty years old, but they were already the commander and a martial arts doctor.

He looked at the short velvet beard on the other person's chin, and his face still looked childish. On a whim, he jumped off his seat and smiled and said, "Come on, let's compete."

Xue Qiang was puzzled and was still in a daze. Zhao Huan had already pulled him over. After a little comparison, he knew that Xue Qiang had grown a lot in the past two years and was half a head taller than him.

He sat back on the seat with a smile, nodded to Xue Qiang, "No, he has a much taller body than me."

Zhao Huan's figure is tall and thin. Xue Qiang is taller than him, and he is also a rare big figure among the ancients. What's more, practicing martial arts since childhood has made him evenly symmetrical, tall and strong.

Zhao Huan smiled again and said, "In this way, no one will say anything if you become a commander. You are also a general and inherit your father's business with your son. I will promote you faster. Your relatives, friends and old friends will naturally help you."

He knew that Xue Qiang was too young and he valued Xue Qiang too much, so someone could not help but say a few strange words, so he cheered up the young general in advance so as not to get psychologically frustrated and lose his original intention of using him.

Xue Qiang was not as expected, and he was really uneasy about the emperor's rapid promotion.

Zhao Huan mentioned the topic and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I was the deputy general before, and I was in control all at once. It would be too fast. Why not order me as a general or deputy general, so as to make room for future progress."

Zhao Huan gradually stopped the smile on his face and asked him, "Why, someone is talking so soon?"

Xue Bu was shocked when he saw his expression and replied: "Where is your Majesty appointed ministers, how can others say anything? Besides, I have been serving Your Majesty with you since childhood. It is also an old custom of my Song Dynasty. No one dares to say anything. Besides, I am not the kind of person who is afraid of rumors. Your Majesty uses you. What's the terrible thing about me?"

"good!"

Zhao Huan smiled at his high fives and said with a promise: "This is the person who has been by my side for many years."

He asked again, "Then what are you worried about?"

Xue Qiang had already spoken, and he had no worries. He replied, "Your Majesty only cares about promoting me. But he forgot that Zong Ji and Zhe Xiaozhong and others. They also followed Your Majesty in the five countries. At this time, Zong Ji was not the deputy commander, and Zhe Xiaozhong was only a deputy general. I was acquainted with them since childhood. I was captured together when I was in Tokyo. After all my hard work, I was appointed by my Majesty. I was all by my side, and I was born and died together, fled back to Shaanxi from the five countries. Such friendship. For example, my brothers. Now Your Majesty is the most famous family in the Western Army, and the second brother of Zhe is the same. The general of the Zong family and Xi family have always been the two pillars of my Western Army in the Song Dynasty. How can my family be compared with the two of them? My family's talents and knowledge are comparable to these two elder brothers."

This concern was indeed the thing he was most worried about. When a person was a teenager, his official titles and positions were indeed not as important as brotherly friendship. It was better to be willing to be accused of the official position proposed by Zhao Huan to cause the relationship between brothers.

Moreover, the guards who followed Zhao Huan also understood that they were loyal to Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan would also trust them. It would be a matter of time before high officials and generous salaries were made.

After hearing this, Zhao Huan knew that Xue Qiang was indeed sincere. After arguing with love, he even said all the private names of Brother Zhong Zhe Er.

He smiled slightly and said to Xue Qiang, who was red-headed and looked up, "I understand all your thoughts. You are young and don't be greedy for power and official positions, but don't you know that for these reasons, your family and father and son can turn against each other, let alone you are not relatives or not."

He stretched out his palm and stopped Xue Qiang from speaking. Zhao Huan said again: "But this kind of emotion is extremely precious, so why should I destroy it?"

Seeing Xue Qiang being stunned, Zhao Huan Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will use it with your brother Zhun."

Speaking of this, Zhao Huan frowned and said nothing.

Xue Qiang was shocked and asked quickly: "Because of Zhe Ke’s request, Zhe Xiaozhong cannot be reused?"

The general of the Zhe family was once the top family of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, and was only under the Zong family. In the face of the crisis of the Song Dynasty, the leader of the Zong family general, Zhong Shidao, led the army several times to aid the capital, and finally died of anxiety.

His younger brother Zhong Shizhong died heroically during the Jin army's attack on Shaanxi.

In this way, the family traditions of heroes in the family made people at that time respectful.

In contrast, the leader of the Zhe family generation, Zhe Keqiu, commanded the three prefectures of Lin, Mansion and Feng in Hedong. At the beginning of the Jin army invasion, he also led troops to lift the siege of Taiyuan. Later, Taiyuan fell, and Wanyan Yinkeshu attacked the city of Linzhou and captured Zhe Keqiu's beloved son. With his son's life, Zhe Keqiu forced his surrender and contributed the three prefectures he led.

In addition, Zhe Keqiu helped the Jin soldiers and destroyed several large cities with strict defense. From then on, except for Zhe Yanzhi, who was the pacifier in Hunan, the rest of the Zhe family surrendered to the Jin people. The loyal and harsh Zhe family became a shame to the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

Zhe Xiaozhong was Zhe Keqiu's cousin, and if he didn't care about Zhe Yanzhi, he would naturally be implicated. If he hadn't followed Zhao Huan and had been a guard, he would have never thought about it. This was true, and compared with Zhong Ji Xue Qiang and others, he would be quite backward.

In this way, his future became a concern for the guards around Zhao Huan. At this time, Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment, Xue Qiang guessed.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Huan laughed in silence and said, "You don't have to be suspicious. Zhe Xiaozhong has nothing to do with Zhe Keqiu. Don't I know? However, there is something to do with this matter."

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Zhe Xiaozhong and Zhe can seek nothing, nor do I have any contact with each other."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "I have other arrangements for this matter, you don't know the relationship."

He sighed and smiled at Xue Qiang, "You don't have to worry about this matter, and you don't have to think so badly about your good brothers."

Xue Qiang's face turned red and he had to bow and answer, "Yes, then I will go to Xiangyang to take office and will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustedness."

Zhao Huan closed his smile and said to him seriously: "Xue Qiang, I have summoned you in not to tell you what I have done. Your responsibilities are not as simple as a rule."

Seeing the emperor's expression solemn, Xue Qiang knew that the reason behind his head must have called him in and ordered him. He immediately calmed down and waited for Zhao Heng to give his order.

Zhao Huan was satisfied and knew that his confidant who dared to make a move was a disadvantage of being young, but it was also a strength.

Young people are always more likely to accept new things than middle-aged and elderly people.

"Our Song military system is led by the three yamen of the Palace Front Office, the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards and Infantry Office. The national imperial guards are all named under the Three yamen, and the military orders are passed down, and the army is trained under the Three yamen. When marching and fighting, the Privy Council was the Privy Council. This was originally for the sake of the generals' power, but it was good, but the generals did not know the soldiers and the soldiers did not know the generals, which made our Song Dynasty rarely defeated for more than a hundred years. The Jurchen invaded and the Tokyo Imperial Guards were vulnerable, which was caused by the corruption of military discipline."

Xue Qiang also understood what he said, but knew that the emperor was using this beginning to speak, so he didn't dare to interrupt, and he still listened carefully.

Zhao Huanqing cleared his throat and said, "I went back to Shaanxi. Apart from the hundreds of Mongolians, you dozens of young guards. Although the generals of the Western Army were very loyal, in order not to lose power, I immediately rebuilt the three yamen so that there would be a conscientious army guard around me. Wu Lin and Qu Duan were the two of them who had to calm the hearts of the people at that time. This time, by pursuing the Liu Guangshi Rebellion, I ordered Wu Lin to go to the expedition and strip him of the commander of the Cavalry Commander. This time, the Jin army was about to invade the territory. I ordered Qu Duan to go to Tongguan, which made him no longer the commander of the Infantry Commander. In this way, I wanted to reform the military system, and the guards around me would not have enough qualifications to speak."

These things were originally thought about by Zhao Huan, who used his outstanding political skills to mediate them, and did not use the emperor's authority to do them, but the effect was better.

At this time, when I talked to Xue Qiang, I just gave a little more tips, making this confidant and beloved general more comfortable to use.

Xue Qiang was also Lingxing, and in this regard it was indeed much better than Zhong Ji and others. He understood halfway through hearing it, and his face showed a touch of emotion, but he still didn't interrupt it.

Zhao Huan was very satisfied with him, and said, "In troubled times, it is easy to produce powerful ministers and easily create vassal states. I see that there are many generals, but the only thing that can be considered is to have their own troops. Besides, I want to reform the military system so that it is different from the past, so that the army cannot cause chaos. Liu Guangshi was able to lead tens of thousands of troops to rebel with one person, which was because the military system was corrupt and gradually could not be restrained. Now I decided to store three yamen first, but then build a personal army in the front. The quota system does not need to be too many, but if you are in a place of victory, when the personal army is formed, the three yamen will be abolished and there will be no more calls. If you suppress the envoys, the military generals will not be controlled by the prefecture.

In order to reform famous discussions, the number of soldiers is sufficient to make military generals control the command of the troops and no longer interfere in civil affairs. For example, the transfer envoy or the field envoy should not be in charge of military generals. In this way, for example, each army is still about 10,000 people, and ten armies are built, and the generals are controlled by the generals to guard against rebellion. However, local generals lead the army, there is no need to add names, and they are called numbers. It is simple and clear. After the quota number, the general will concentrate on commanding the troops, but the number should not be too large, and the civil affairs and financial power will be taken back to the court. In this way, I can command the reform of the army to be able to be able to handle it. After the army is reorganized, it can also prevent generals from causing chaos in chaos."

When Xue Qiang heard this, he gradually understood the emperor's meaning.

When he left the town, the emperor would set an example for him first. All kinds of measures would definitely be initiated by him and ordinary people. If they could live up to Zhao Huan’s wishes, the emperor would be able to make twice the result with half the effort.
