"Thank you, Prime Minister Zhou."

At the side entrance of Qingyu Palace, Qin Dong smiled and cupped his hands at Zhou Boyuan to thank him.

"I'm not good at military affairs. The Holy Emperor asked me first because he saw that I was older. Being the commander of the Zhennan Army was something the Qin Family Master deserved. The Qin Family Master is very polite."

Zhou Boyuan quickly turned sideways, avoiding Qin Dong's thank you, and declined helplessly.

Qin Dong didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to each other, Zhou Boyuan boarded the carriage he came from.

Watching the carriage slowly leave, the smile on Qin Dong's face gradually disappeared.

Qin Ying flashed and rushed over. When she saw Qin Dong, she walked forward quickly, glanced at Qin Dong enviously, raised her hands and said congratulations: "Brother, congratulations."

Apparently, Qin Ying had just received the news that Qin Dong had been appointed as the commander of the Zhennan Army Corps.

Qin Dong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so worried now, why do you still congratulate me?"

Qin Ying asked in surprise: "Brother, why did you say this?"

Qin Dong glanced at Qin Ying and naturally knew why Qin Ying was here.

Besides being an official, what else could it be?

"At most, I have been a general of the French Protector Army and commanded three thousand people. That was the Zhennan Army, with hundreds of thousands of people."

At that time, he was pulled away by Shaoyao and provoked by Qin Yi. He didn't think much and just agreed.

However, after leaving Huaijinyuan, the excitement was over, and the more he thought about it, the less confident he became.

I was impulsive. I was really impulsive at that time.

Qin Ying shook his head and said: "Brother, you are a fan of the authorities. It is precisely because you have led the French Protector Army that you are the most suitable candidate."

Qin Dong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Second brother, you mean that I can use the French Protector Army as the backbone to reorganize the southern frontier army?"

Qin Ying nodded with a smile and said: "Brother, if you are not suitable, how can the third brother let you take charge of this matter? This is a major matter related to the safety of the Central Plains. Is the third brother the kind of person who abandons public service for personal reasons?"

At this time, Qin Dong had figured it out and got rid of the confusion. He thought more than Qin Ying. He couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "I am worrying too much."

Then Qin Dong turned to look at Qin Ying and said with a smile: "Thank you, second brother, for reminding me. It just so happens that the Zhennan Army was founded, and you are the deputy general of the Protector Army. Just talk to me about this matter."

Qin Dong figured it out. In addition to being the leader of the Dharma Protector Army, he was also the head of the Xiangnan Qin family, and even his biological brother Qin Yi.

With the blessing of these transcendent identities, he can mobilize almost all the resources of the Central Plains for his use.

No matter how unruly the southern frontier troops are, they must bow their heads when facing him.

Coupled with his previous military experience, a comprehensive comparison naturally made him stand out and become the most suitable person.

Qin Ying got what she wanted most, so she was naturally very happy.

Qin Dong looked at Qin Ying and shook his head slightly.

"Everything you gain must have something to lose. My second brother still hasn't understood this truth until now."

…

On the carriage, Zhou Hou asked curiously: "Sir, what is the Zhennan Army Corps?"

Because Zhou Boyuan is determined to cultivate Zhou Hou, Zhou Hou can now understand many things and even directly participate in some things.

Zhou Boyuan was thinking about something and casually mentioned the Zhenbei Army Corps and the Zhennan Army Corps.

Zhou Hou was shocked after hearing this.

"To command so many troops and guard such a large territory, this has never happened before in history, right? Only the Holy Emperor dares to do this, right?"

Zhou Boyuan seemed to have figured something out, and stopped looking pensive. He continued to teach Zhou Hou, smiled, shook his head, and said to Zhou Hou: "There are still some in history, such as the first dynasty, the Qin Dynasty.

This situation occurred, but the rapid collapse of the Qin Dynasty was somewhat related to this, so later dynasties absorbed these lessons and no longer set up such a military commander with such great military power."

Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty founded by the Weishui Qin clan?

It was also the only dynasty where the Spiritual Tide Tribulation began.

It was also the shortest-lived dynasty in history.

Although the Qin Dynasty has so many honors, there are very few records of the Qin Dynasty in history.

Influenced by Zhou Boyuan, Zhou Hou also likes history and has read a lot of history books in recent years. However, he also knows very little about the long-standing and unpopular Qin Dynasty.

Zhou Hou asked curiously: "The Holy Emperor is also from the Qin family in Weishui, so the Holy Emperor wants to recreate the old system of the Qin Dynasty?"

Zhou Boyuan was stunned after hearing this.

Historical records show that the Qin Dynasty also had great restrictions on aristocratic families and royal families.

In such a comparison, Da Qin and Da Jing do have many similarities.

However, based on Zhou Boyuan's understanding of Qin Yi...

Zhou Boyuan smiled and shook his head and said: "The Holy Emperor likes innovation and is not a conservative person. The reason why he has some similarities with the Qin Dynasty is probably because he reached the same goal through different paths."

Successful people are always similar, and unsuccessful people have their own misfortunes.

During the two thousand years of the dynasty, although there are vast calendars and many records, in summary, there are only a few things.

It's either this or that. Some of Qin Yi's policies are similar to those of a certain dynasty in history, which is normal.

After all, there is nothing new in history.

Zhou Hou nodded clearly and ended the topic. When it comes to the Holy Emperor, no more words should be said. He knows the rules of the gentleman.

Zhou Hou remembered what he had just seen and asked curiously: "According to the wishes of the Qin family, you gave up the commander of the Zhennan Army?"

Zhou Boyuan raised his head and glanced at Zhou Hou, nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the Holy Emperor asked me first, and I declined. The Holy Emperor then asked the Qin family leader. The Qin family leader hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed."

Looking at Mr. Yun Danfengqing's appearance, Zhou Hou said with regret: "Sir, that's the Zhennan Army Corps."

Zhou Hou knew that he had a dream of being a general.

I have served in the military many times before, and I have a different feeling for the military.

But Zhou Boyuan smiled and shook his head, opened the curtains, looked out the window at the busy streets, and said leisurely: "You don't understand, in everything, there are gains and losses. If I take over the position of commander of this army, I will only

Afraid of losing more."

Zhou Hou was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and exclaimed: "Phase?"

Zhou Boyuan glanced at Zhou Hou, shook his head and said: "You, after so many years, you are still so reckless. There are many things that you can only know in your heart and cannot be spoken out. Do you understand?"

Zhou Hou quickly covered his mouth, nodded repeatedly, glanced around, and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that no one was eavesdropping.

Zhou Boyuan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Forget it, ignorance is bliss.

Sometimes, not having enough intelligence and knowing too much is a curse.

Zhou Hou thought for a while, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sir, you said that with every gain, there must be a loss. The Qin family leader won the Zhennan Army, what did he lose?"

Zhou Boyuan looked back at Qingyu Palace, shook his head, and said: "What he lost is exactly what he cares about most."

What answer is this?

What Patriarch Qin cares about most...

Zhou Hou followed the method taught by Zhou Boyuan and deduced it, then he suddenly realized: "Are you staying in the Qingyu Palace?"

Zhou Boyuan thought for a while and finally said it all.

"To be more precise, it is the center. If I take over the position of army commander, I will also leave Luo Jing, resign as prime minister, and no longer be a member of the power center. The Qin family leader is naturally no exception."

Only then did Zhou Hou understand the price the legion commander had to pay.

only……

"Sir, the Qin family leader is different from you. It should be much easier for the Qin family leader to return to the center than it is for you."

Zhou Boyuan looked like a teachable child, nodded and said: "Yes, so, this is a trade-off. For me, the price is too high, naturally I cannot accept it, but for the Qin family leader, this price is still with him

It is within the scope of what he can bear, and compared to what he has lost, what he has gained now makes him even more excited."

This is something that adds to the heritage of the Xiangnan Qin family.

Just by leaving the center for a few years, you can quickly accumulate a small part of a family's heritage. This temptation for Qin Dong is really too great.

Qin Dong didn't think about it at that time. It was Shaoyao's reminder that made him make up his mind.

However, with Qin Dong's intelligence, he probably now understands the pros and cons.

Zhou Hou followed Zhou Boyuan's thoughts and continued to deduce. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed: "Sir, the Zhenbei Army was given to the Changping Qin family, the Zhennan Army was given to the Xiangnan Qin family, and except for Luojing's Zhenshan Army

, Northern Xinjiang has the most troops and the strongest military strength among the four sides, and the second is Southern Xinjiang, and it was given to the Qin family in the south, the Holy Emperor, does this want to centralize all military power to the Qin family? "

Zhou Boyuan glared at Zhou Hou and said: "How many times have I told you, don't try to guess the Holy Emperor's thoughts in vain, and you knowingly did it again!"

Zhou Hou shrank his head in fright, and said with a helpless smile: "If you deduce current events according to the method taught by Mr., it will always fall on the Holy Emperor in the end. I, I have nothing to do."

Yes, how can the Holy Emperor be bypassed for major events in the world?

Zhou Boyuan sighed helplessly and said: "The Holy Emperor's wisdom is as deep as the abyss. In vain, it will only lead you astray, just like the matter of the army. In the end, although the military power almost all belonged to the Qin family, there is nothing else in it.

When considering, for example, issues such as the private army of aristocratic families, such as the training of the Xiangnan Qin family, etc., the Holy Emperor acts with foresight and his own rules. We just need to do our own thing well and don't think too much, otherwise, we will only
