Chapter 520: The Age of Immortal Martial Arts, Repositioning
"gentlemen."
Zhou Boyuan left the Qingyu Palace and got on the carriage. Zhou Hou quickly poured Zhou Boyuan a cup of his favorite tea.
After Zhou Boyuan took it, he gently used the lid to hold the tea leaves while telling him about the separation of military and political affairs at the meeting just now, and then asked: "Xiaohou, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Zhou Hou frowned involuntarily and complained on his behalf: "Sir, this is weakening the imperial court. The imperial court is already so weak, and if it wants to be weakened, what is left of the imperial court?"
Zhou Boyuan took a sip of tea, smiled, shook his head and said: "Actually, since the birth of the dynasty, the military and government have been separated. The previous army only belonged to the court in name, but actually belonged to the royal family and aristocratic families.
The court was basically monopolized by officials from the royal family and aristocratic families. Only at the end of this dynasty, when the dean was born, did we, the common people's children from the academy, ascend to the court and have a place as royalists.
."
Speaking of this, Zhou Boyuan laughed at himself and said: "The dynasty, since the Qin Dynasty, has become the dynasty of the aristocratic family. The separation of military and political affairs was also designed based on the internal rule of the aristocratic family. However, the Holy Emperor created a great situation and directly banned the aristocratic family.
, the private armies of aristocratic families were brought back to the imperial court, and the officials of the imperial court changed drastically. They were either from Liyang Academy or from small and medium-sized families. The imperial court and the army completely became two groups with no overlap, making the army a factor of instability.
Only then did I work hard to suppress the army. From training camps to logistics, I separated it from the army and started a new one. In addition, I established a close connection between the court and the army. I wanted to eliminate this unstable factor and completely integrate it into the court.
, I still missed the mark and finally took advantage of the Qin family..."
After hearing this, Zhou Hou recalled what Zhou Boyuan did and what the Holy Emperor did, and said hesitantly: "I think the Holy Emperor's ownership of the army seems to have been arranged from the beginning, and it may not be deliberately targeting you.
of."
Zhou Boyuan glanced at Zhou Hou in surprise, lowered his head to drink tea and said casually: "Continue talking."
Zhou Hou carefully took a look at Zhou Boyuan's face and found that he was not angry. Then he said: "The Guardian Army established by the Holy Emperor at the beginning was based on his direct eldest brother Qin Dong. This was an obvious signal. Later, Beidi
In the attack, the Zhenbei Army was established, with the Qin family army as the main force, and Qin Yun as the commander. The southern barbarians were unstable, and the Zhennan Army was established, with the French Protector Army as the main force, and Qin Dong as the commander. In fact, it is very obvious from here. You can see
The Chu Sheng Emperor intends to hand over his army to the Qin family."
"Yeah, it's so obvious, why didn't I think of it at the time?" Zhou Boyuan held the tea, shook his head gently, and laughed at himself: "I usually don't think I'm smart, it's really ridiculous."
Zhou Hou quickly comforted him and said: "Sir, he was in the middle of the bureau and the authorities were confused. How could he have seen this at that time?"
"The authorities are obsessed with it. That's a good point." Zhou Boyuan put the lid on the tea and sighed: "I didn't expect that in the end, I would eventually become the person I hate the most."
Zhou Boyuan disliked those aristocratic families very much at the beginning, feeling that they only had family interests in their eyes and no interests of the court at all.
Now, after the Holy Emperor began to establish sect forces to compete with the imperial court, he has become narrow-minded and only thinks about the interests of the imperial court and ignores the overall interests of the human race.
How is his current appearance any different from those aristocratic families who only care about family interests?
At that time, he scolded those aristocratic families so harshly, and now it hurts to be slapped in the face.
Zhou Boyuan turned back and glanced in the direction of the Qingyu Palace, shook his head and said: "On this point, I am far behind Deputy Sect Leader Hua."
Shaoyao placed her position very low and always regarded herself as Qin Yi's retainer. She thought about issues completely from Qin Yi's perspective, so she was much stronger than him in terms of the overall situation.
Thinking of Shaoyao's performance at the meeting just now, Zhou Boyuan snorted: "Her methods are also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye."
In the meeting just now, he said that he was a fan of the authorities, but Shaoyao definitely did it on purpose. As for Qin Xi later, he didn't know whether he saw through Shaoyao's purpose and followed him, or whether he followed the trend, although his performance was inconspicuous.
, but they did join forces with Shaoyao, and the two of them directly pointed out that he only regarded his own power and ignored the overall situation, which made Qin Yi very angry.
This was the first time Qin Yi lost his temper at a meeting.
At that time, Zhou Boyuan was really frightened.
Zhou Hou couldn't help but defend Zhou Boyuan: "Sir, he has always been selfless and dedicated to the public. How come he has no regard for the overall situation?"
Zhou Boyuan saw that Zhou Hou had not reacted until this moment, shook his head and said: "This public refers to the imperial court. In the eyes of the Holy Emperor, it means private, imperial court, sect and Qin family. This is where the Holy Emperor rules the human race."
Three cornerstones, if I only have eyes for the imperial court, then I am ignoring the overall situation."
Only then did Zhou Hou react. His eyes became dark and he said, "Now, has being dedicated to the public good turned into disregarding the overall situation?"
Zhou Hou felt that he could not keep up with the times.
Zhou Boyuan opened the lid with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said while savoring the aftertaste of the tea: "Yeah, I also feel that I can't keep up with the times. Now that I think about it, it was really ridiculous to suppress the army before. When the family was there, it was
In order to suppress the army suppressed by the family, after the president ascended the throne, when the luck martial arts emerged, it was to compete for luck. After the great scene was established, it was to compete for profits, strengthen the power of the court, and overwhelm the sect. Haha, but it is no longer the case.
It used to be, now we have entered the age of immortals and martial arts, and I am still using the thinking of the civil and military age to analyze problems, but it’s not about how to do something, how to make mistakes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make? "
Zhou Hou suddenly said: "Yes, now is the age of immortals and martial arts, not the era of civil and military affairs. The army is no longer cultivating the way of military and military affairs. They are all practicing the way of immortality and martial arts. The army is no longer a private army of aristocratic families.
It's Da Jing's army... Sir, although the Qin family does not have the name of a royal family, it has the status of a royal family. It does make sense for the royal family to control the army."
"If you only see this level, you are underestimating the Holy Emperor." Zhou Boyuan's eyes were full of complexity and he continued: "Do you still remember the instability that bothered me recently when I was at work?"
Zhou Hou nodded and said: "Remember, this is an inevitable phenomenon after the aristocratic family was banned. Without the restraint of the aristocratic family, the small and medium-sized family forces will not be in chaos. If we want to truly solve this problem, we can only rely on time."
Only with the power of the imperial court."
Zhou Boyuan chuckled and shook his head and said: "That was thinking about the problem from the perspective of the imperial court, but thinking about the problem from the perspective of the Holy Emperor, this matter is simple. Since the small and medium-sized families are no longer the most powerful family,
If they have a family force to restrain them, then give them one and let the royal family, the most powerful family force in existence, restrain them. Wouldn't this solve the problem all at once?"
Zhou Hou followed Zhou Boyuan's reminder and continued to think. His eyes lit up and he said: "The Holy Emperor will hand over the army to the Qin family. This is to rectify the name of the Qin family and let all the small and medium-sized family forces know that the Qin family will never be like the aristocratic family.
Being banned and suppressed in this way, the small and medium-sized family forces will naturally gather around the Qin family. In addition, the army will also break the family monopoly and become a new breakthrough point for the small and medium-sized family forces. The army will gather the human family forces.
, follow the footsteps of the Qin family and be used by the Holy Emperor."
This move is so high.
Zhou Boyuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, if you can think of these, you are already qualified."
Zhou Hou was embarrassed by the praise. He scratched his head with a silly smile and said: "I am reviewing it after the fact, with the guidance of my husband. Otherwise, how could I have thought of this with my Yulin brain?"
Zhou Boyuan glanced at the north, sighed again and said: "After I reviewed the situation, I found that the Holy Emperor had just started. Although he had this intention, he was not in such a hurry. He wanted to take it slowly and slowly. However, Beidi invaded.
The barbarians were uneasy, so the Holy Emperor had no choice but to take action in advance, and then directly established two legions. In order to rectify the name of the Qin family, he established the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and forcibly raised the Qin family to the same level as the imperial court and sect.
.”
Zhou Hou suddenly said: "Is the Holy Emperor responding to the rebellion in the four barbarians?"
Zhou Boyuan nodded and said: "If the strong men of the demon clan attack, the Holy Emperor will naturally take action. However, if the human race that is attached to the demon clan attacks, it will be difficult for the Holy Emperor to take action. He can only rely on the strength of the Central Plains itself. This test will
Comprehensive strength, this requires mobilizing all the forces within the Central Plains, integrating all the forces of the human race, and bringing everyone together to deal with the battle between the four barbarians."
Zhou Hou thought of the Battle of Beidi and said puzzledly: "Even if all the barbarians add up, it's impossible to compete with us, right? Is it necessary to be so nervous?"
Zhou Boyuan's eyes became serious: "Zhou Hou, you have to remember that war is no small matter and we must not be careless. No matter how high our winning rate is, we still have to fight the lion against the rabbit and use all our strength. We only have a corner of the Central Plains. We
, can’t afford to lose!”
Once they lose, the human race will be doomed.
Zhou Hou quickly nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, sir, Zhou Hou will bear it in mind."
Zhou Boyuan nodded, lowered his head to drink tea, and said something seemingly casually.
"Of course, the Holy Emperor is far-sighted and is also preparing for future expansion to the barbarians."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hou's eyes suddenly opened wide and he said in disbelief: "What, expansion? Sir, you mean, we..."
Zhou Boyuan put down the tea cup, glanced at the shocked Zhou Hou, gently stroked his long beard, nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, later the Holy Emperor..."
Zhou Boyuan spoke out several resolutions made by the Holy Queen, and finally sighed: "Aren't these policies established just for expansion? And in order to prevent the three parties from constraining each other, they also specially divided the goals of the strategy for us.
The Holy Emperor handed over Dongyi to my court, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the dean for many years. The Holy Emperor is really thoughtful."
When Zhou Hou heard this, he felt dizzy.
"Sir, facing the threat of monsters, it is difficult to defend the Central Plains. Is it too early to conquer the barbarians?"
Zhou Boyuan nodded and shook his head and said: "It is indeed a bit early, so I said it is preparation. However, it is not too late. As long as you are fully prepared, you can launch it at any time."
Zhou Boyuan naturally saw Zhou Hou's concerns, smiled and shook his head and said: "Zhou Hou, don't think that Siyi is too powerful. They are just humans and animals raised by the demon clan. How powerful can they be? If the demon clan didn't take action,
, we have swept through the four barbarians a long time ago and captured them, but we were only worried about the demon clan, so we allowed the four barbarians to exist."
"The demon clan..."
What Zhou Hou is most worried about is the demon clan.
In fact, Zhou Boyuan was also worried, but Zhou Boyuan was more confident in Qin Yi.
"Since the Holy Emperor has this plan, he naturally has a way to deal with the monsters. Weren't the monsters that came down from the Holy Mountain previously blocked by the Holy Emperor? With the Holy Emperor's talent and understanding, his strength will only get stronger in the future.
Judging from the previous attacks by the demon clan, it seems that the demon clan has been restricted in some way and cannot attack us without any scruples... Of course, this is just a guess. I don’t know what it is specifically, but the Holy Emperor knows.
The estimates are more comprehensive and more comprehensive, and the Holy Emperor naturally has a basis for making such a deployment."
Having said this, Zhou Boyuan seemed to have figured something out, and smiled relievedly and said: "I don't dare to speculate on the Holy Emperor's thoughts now. I will do whatever the Holy Emperor orders."
Zhou Boyuan repositioned himself and his demeanor became more calm and calm.
Zhou Hou looked at Zhou Boyuan, his eyes full of reverence.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Zhou Boyuan said with a smile: "The navy must be dealt with as soon as possible. This will be the most important force in the hands of our court."
Zhou Hou nodded repeatedly and said: "With the Holy Emperor's method of refining treasure ships, our navy will definitely be the most powerful force in the sea, and Dongyi will not be enough."
Zhou Boyuan has been personally responsible for refining the treasure ship since Feng Yu ascended the throne. However, Zhou Boyuan was too busy and naturally could not do everything personally and pay attention to it all the time. He handed it over to his confidant Zhou Hou to follow up on the matter.
Because of this, Zhou Hou understood better than anyone how powerful the treasure ship was.
Under the guidance of Zhou Boyuan, I knew how huge the interests represented by the treasure ship were.
Compared with this, the benefits of the grassland occupied by the Zhenbei Legion are not even a little worse.
"Liyang College must also be further expanded. All states and counties must increase the number of colleges, and every county must have all colleges. No matter how remote it is, there cannot be just one. Liyang College is our basic base, and there cannot be any slack."
Zhou Hou nodded repeatedly.
This is what the title should mean.
Zhou Boyuan hesitated and continued: "Relax the restrictions of Liyang Academy. It is no longer limited to common people. Children of small and medium-sized families can also enroll."
When Zhou Hou heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Sir, once this restriction is lifted, then..."
How can the children of common people stand out?
This goes against the original intention of Liyang Academy.
Suddenly, Zhou Hou thought of something and said, "Sir, are you trying to attack the Qin family? To give the family power another option?"
Zhou Boyuan shook his head and said in disappointment: "Actually, sects are also an outlet for small and medium-sized family forces. The Holy Emperor should have meant this at the beginning. However, Hunyuan Sect deliberately divided them, and with the incubation of Hunyuan Sect,
The small and medium-sized sect forces that emerged one after another have become the main competitors of the family forces that occupy the local area. Naturally, the sect cannot become the reliance of the small and medium-sized family forces, and this is what happens next."
Zhou Hou thought about their attitude towards another force in the imperial court, that is, outstanding children from small and medium-sized family groups, and asked in confusion: "But, we are also..."
Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully: "Sir, do you want to win over them?"
Zhou Boyuan stroked his long beard and said: "I have been suppressing them before, so they don't rely on the imperial court. If I accept them, they should..."
"Sir, no! Don't make the same mistake again!" Zhou Hou quickly warned loudly.
Zhou Boyuan was silent for a long time, then laughed heartily and said: "Yes, after I made a wrong decision, you can correct me in time, Xiaohou, you can finally start teaching."
Zhou Hou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was Zhou Boyuan who was testing him just now.
He said, this is something that shakes the foundation. How could you do it?
Zhou Hou said at a loss: "Sir..."
Zhou Boyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Well, since you have passed the test, the naval affairs will be left to you."
"What? Leave it to me? This..." Zhou Hou said unconfidently: "I, I can, okay?"
Zhou Boyuan gently patted Zhou Hou's shoulder and said: "Xiao Hou, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it."
"But……"
Zhou Boyuan said earnestly: "Don't worry, I'm behind you. If you encounter problems that you can't solve by yourself, just come to me directly. I will be your strongest support."
