Chapter 763: Kokushi

  Qi Xiuyuan heard that Prince Rong was dragging Yuan Zhao into the palace to ask for a meeting, he was stunned for a moment, and then he made an announcement after blinking his sour eyes.

It is understandable that Yuan Zhao went to the palace to ask him to see him, and he was not surprised that Haoran ran into the palace, but how did these two get together?

Qi Xiuyuan held his chin curiously and waited for the arrival of the two.

There is no need to ask Qi Xiuyuan at all. Qi Haoran hurriedly expressed Yuan Zhao and Yuan Wulang's eagerness to share the emperor's worries after a rude salute. Of course, he also expressed that Daqi urgently needed talents like Yuan Zhao and Yuan Wulang. It is impossible to exaggerate the two of them without them.

This made Yuan Zhao blushed, and looked at the emperor with some uneasiness. The emperor would not think that he was seducing and deceiving Qi Haoran, let him intercede for the two brothers, Prince Rong praised them too much.

Yuan Zhao thought too much, his younger brother knew it, Qi Xiuyuan guessed Qi Haoran's intention almost instantly, if several of General Yuan's sons were used by him, would there still be Yuan Jiajun in this world?

Moreover, Daqi really lacks generals. Those generals trained by his younger brother will take two or three years to use, but even if they are all appointed, Daqi still lacks people who can lead troops to fight.

In other places, there is a shortage of generals, but in the Yuan family army, there is no shortage of good generals. Because General Yuan has been in business for more than 20 years, he has promoted many people along the way. The Yuan family army has grown from 10,000 to 200,000 people. How many good generals he has, Yuan Zhao also led an army in the Yuan family army, but it does not mean that he can fight independently. In the Yuan family army, he not only listens to his father, but also listens to several generals, so he can The space for display is limited, and his military exploits are always used by his father to promote his lieutenants or subordinates, resulting in Yuan Zhao's subordinates getting important responsibilities before him. It can be said that Yuan Zhao, who is on top, will not be able to. It brings difficulties to the promotion of the generals below, so the generals of the Yuan family can be continuously cultivated.

This is also the reason why Yuan Zhao can leave. Now there is not a lot of him in the Yuan family's army, and there are not many more of him. What kind of military merit can he accumulate as a military general?

Yuan Zhao didn't want to take over his father's position ten years from now and be said to be picking ready-made peaches. He is not an incompetent dude. He has the ability and courage, and he has a dozen or so loyal team members. When he comes out, he can stand up, no worse than anyone else.

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at his younger brother approvingly, and personally stepped down to help Yuan Zhao up, and said with a smile: "Dalang is willing to guard the border for me. This is my luck and Daqi's blessing."

Qi Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then said: "There is a lack of generals at the Bazhou guardhouse in Tongchuan prefecture, and it has always been guarded by the school captain left by the previous dynasty. There is Xixia not far to the west, and it has always been the route of Xixia Middle Road to invade my Daqi. I don't know if Dalang is willing to give in."

The highest officer of the Bazhou Guard is a third-rank official, which is one level higher than that of Yuan Zhao at this time. If he was in the Yuan family's army, no one knew how many years he would have to wait for his father to appoint a third-rank military general for him. .

Yuan Zhao was moved to tears, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to repay the grace of the Holy Spirit."

Qi Xiuyuan hurriedly pulled him up and said with a smile: "I would like to thank you for guarding the country, your fifth brother I also heard Haoran say that when you are new to Bazhou, you will always need someone to help you, so it is better to take your fifth brother I also brought him, but he has no military merit here, and it is impossible for him to be promoted, so I can only give him peace, the Bazhou Guard is tough, not as hard as Yuan’s army, and I don’t know if he is willing or not.”

When was Yuan Jiaerlang afraid of suffering?

Enduring hardships in Bazhou is better than being suppressed by Yuan Jiajun all the time. Yuan Zhao understands the character of his fifth brother and is busy thanking him for him.

Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder, returned to the throne, and asked, "I will make an decree now? Or will you discuss it with your father after you go back, and I will give you a document for your appointment?"

Yuan Zhao did not expect the emperor to be so considerate, but the emperor treated him with sincerity, and he naturally did not want to cause him suspicion, so he knelt down and said, "Please, the emperor, serve as a document for the minister, and the minister will explain to my father in person after returning to the north."

Yuan Jiaerlang is really upright, and Qi Xiuyuan felt a little guilty in his heart. He looked at Qi Haoran, waved his hand slightly to let him back down, and the servants in the hall also retreated.

Qi Xiuyuan then stepped forward to help him up and said, "Dalang, since you have repaid me with a state scholar, I will naturally treat you with my country, and I will not hide it from you. I use you, naturally because of your talent, but also I have the idea of ​​weakening the Yuan family's army."

Yuan Zhao looked at Qi Xiuyuan in shock. He didn't know whether he was too beautiful or trusted him too much, so he even told him about it, but no matter what kind of thing, Yuan Zhao surrendered sincerely, he lifted up his robe and knelt again. At the feet of Qi Xiuyuan.

You treat me with the land, and I will report it to the countrymen. This is not only the commitment and feeling that a scholar has, but Yuan Zhao also has such a mind and ambition.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't help him anymore, but stared at the top of his head and said word by word: "The imperial court does not allow anyone other than the imperial court and the imperial family to hold the family army, but the Yuan family army is special, and I will not arbitrarily take back military power, just I hope that after a hundred years of General Yuan, the Yuan family army can officially integrate into Daqi, and no longer belong to a family alone, and you and your brothers, if you have the ability, I will reuse it, if not, it will not be a problem to protect your wealth for three generations."

This is already a good promise, and it is pragmatic. Compared with those who drew a big cake and let them fall into the trap, Yuan Zhao felt a lot more at ease.

He can't choose for his father and younger brothers, he can only choose his own path, but he doesn't think the Yuan family army can be passed on to the second generation.

Father didn't mean to train them, or he didn't expect this crisis, he valued his subordinates too much, and neglected the family and their five brothers.

The reason why Yuan Jiajun can be united now is because his father's prestige is there. Once his father dies, the five brothers will not have enough prestige and can't suppress those generals. The emperor only needs to provoke one or two to make Yuan's army fall apart, but in that way, brave The Yuan family army may no longer exist, and the efforts of more than 20 years have been destroyed. Yuan Zhao saw that the emperor did not want this. He wanted to keep the bravery of the Yuan family army, but he could no longer make the army loyal to the Yuan family.

If all of their brothers find another way out, the Yuan family army will not have the Yuan family, and the emperor will divide the rule again, the army will not be turbulent, and that kind of situation will naturally not happen.

The emperor saw farther than he thought, and was more wise than he thought. Yuan Zhao said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I would like to defend the country for you. If you can't pacify the northwest and take back your homeland, I will never return to Beijing!"

That is to say, he will not interfere in the affairs of the court and the Yuan family.

Qi Xiuyuan laughed, pulled him up, patted his shoulder with a big laugh, and said, "Since you have come to the palace, I will stay with me for dinner today, and our monarch and minister have a good drink."
