I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 322 Huh?Zhidu?

"Sigh~"

"I really dare to choose..."

Liu Sheng was not made to wait too long, not even waiting for the Emperor Qi to issue the edict of appointment, Zhou Yafu came to Liu Sheng with the list of "Youth Heroes" he had selected.

It's just that the candidates proposed by Zhou Yafu were somewhat beyond Liu Sheng's expectations.

"Um······"

"The governor of Beidi County doesn't know Cheng, and it's understandable to be lonely;"

"What's the matter, even Lieutenant Zhi?"

"what?"

Looking at the 'list' with only two names in his hand, Liu Sheng's brows were only tightly knit together.

But Liu Sheng was not unhappy with the candidates proposed by Zhou Yafu, but just simply confused.

Zhidu?

ha?
Huh~~~? ? ?

"Your Highness, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Just as he was fixing his strange eyes on Zhou Yafu, when he heard Zhou Yafu's sudden question, the corners of Liu Sheng's brows twitched slightly uncontrollably.

inappropriate?

More than wrong!

This is simply unbelievable!
Fortunately, Cheng Bushi was one of the heroes who put down the chaos between Wu and Chu, and he could barely be regarded as a famous veteran in the world;
Although he is the governor of a county now, he is the governor of a border area after all, and his main focus is the integration of military and government.

He was recalled to Chang'an and went to study with Zhou Yafu. Fortunately, in the future, he will be able to defend the frontier more easily, and no one will be able to point out anything wrong.

But Zhidu...

Zhidu······
"Uh, Hou Tiao, can you tell me in detail: This Lieutenant Zhidu..."

"Uh?"

Seeing the astonishment in Liu Sheng's eyes and the strangeness in his tone of voice, Zhou Yafu understood Liu Sheng's thoughts.

Taking a breath, he grinned slightly at Liu Sheng.

"Perhaps in the eyes of His Highness, Zhidu is nothing but a character of 'loyalty' and titles of 'lonely minister' and 'straight minister'."

"Its prominence in the court is only because of His Majesty's trust and reasonable ability to handle affairs."

"But Your Highness, maybe you forgot?"

"Before becoming a lieutenant, Zhidu was a Zhonglang general..."

"Earlier, he was born in Zhonglang, famous for his bravery and strength."

"Your Highness, you don't know what kind of people the Zhonglang of my Han family are?"

"It's not like I don't know what kind of ability a 'Zhonglang Jiang' who can lead such a group of people and convince them will have?"

As soon as Zhou Yafu said this, most of the astonishment on Liu Sheng's face disappeared, but there was still some occasional doubt between his brows.

Of course Liu Sheng understood what Zhou Yafu meant.

Lieutenant Zhidu was appointed Zhonglang by the first emperor for his "brave" and "powerful" abilities during the reign of the first emperor.

——So far, in the official archives kept by the censor doctor's office, we can still see the description of Zhidu's bravery and strength, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen heard about it, and he was appointed as Zhonglang'.

And the group of Zhonglang, as Zhou Yafu just said: it is the most special group in the bureaucratic system and military command system of the Han family.

According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, the Lang officials of the Han family are mainly divided into three categories: Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong.

The so-called Lang Guan is actually the servant of the emperor.

Among these three types of Lang officials, the servants mostly paid for the rich, and bought a chance to serve in the palace for their nephews in a reasonable and legal manner.

This kind of "buying officials" bought Langguan is called: Bilang.

Furthermore, it is the children of Gonghou Guiqi's family who were "shadowed" as Lang because their father and grandfather were rewarded.

This kind of Lang Guan who took up the light of the ancestors and was sent to the palace to serve him was called: Yin Lang.

Bi Lang and Yin Lang are almost all part of the servants' group.

As for the doctor, most of them are secretarial, responsible for sorting out documents, files, and copying. Basically, they are recommended by some young talents who are too young to be appointed.

——You are very knowledgeable, but you are still a little young, let's practice in the palace first!

——When the experience is almost over and you are mature and stable, I will send you somewhere to be a county magistrate or something.

Except for the assistant minister and the doctor, the most special Zhonglang has suddenly risen a lot.

Zhonglang, without exception, was selected and sent to Chang'an by young talents in the army. After inspection, he was finally interviewed by the emperor himself, and then appointed!
In other words, to become a Zhonglang, you need to meet the following conditions.

One: Since you are selected from the army, you must have excellent professional skills and qualities;

To put it bluntly, he either had to be a tough guy, or he had to be a genius with outstanding strategic and tactical abilities.

Second: To be sent to Chang'an, or even to be received by the emperor, one must have a clean family background, and even have to be a person who has contributed to the country for three generations.

For example, back then, the soldiers who fought with Emperor Taizu were the most pure "red generation" of the Han family;
And their nephews, on the premise of meeting other conditions, will be given priority by the army to be selected as Zhonglang.

Third: If you are really appointed as Zhonglang, then from now on, you will be responsible for the guard of the palace gate and the safety of the emperor.

Therefore, in addition to being strong in one of the military value and tactical literacy, the other is qualified, and at the same time the family background is clean and reliable, good looks and tall enough stature are also one of the indispensable conditions for the Zhonglang group.

——The prime minister's concierge is still equivalent to a seventh-rank official!

Guarding the palace gates and escorting the emperor to go out, it can't be a group of crooked melons that people can't bear to look at, can they?

Therefore, Zhonglang who met the above three conditions at the same time became the focus of attention of the entire Chang'an Gonghou Gaomen.

I don't know how many meritorious princes and noble relatives want to find a middle-aged man to be his son-in-law.

——Handsome, tall, and in good shape;

Young and promising, capable and promising;
In addition, the family background is clean and reliable!
There are still a group of young people like this!
Not to mention being a noble relative, even the noble daughter of his family would blush and feel her heart beat and her legs go weak when seeing such a handsome man.

And Zhidu, who stood out from this group, step by step to become an official of two thousand stones, is a hero among heroes.

Perhaps this is not enough to explain how special the Zhonglang group is and what it means to the Han family.

But if you know the generals of Zhonglang origin in today's Han family, it is not difficult to understand why this group is called the 'reserve team of middle and senior generals'.

——Li Guang!
— Cheng Buzhi! !
There is no need to mention others, these two representative figures alone are enough to explain the problem.

Li Guang and Cheng Bushi were both born in Zhonglang, and then they were sent to the border guards and promoted to generals through hard work;

As for Zhidu, he stood out from this group and became the leader of this group - the fierce man of General Zhonglang...

"To be appointed as a Zhonglang by the late emperor, especially if he is a 'valiant' and 'powerful' Zhonglang, Zhidu's personal force cannot be faulted."

"After all, just relying on loyalty to His Majesty and self-discipline, it is impossible for Zhi even to become a lieutenant and take full control of the Imperial Army: the Northern Army."

"Being able to command the Northern Army as a lieutenant, suppressing those arrogant soldiers from Guanzhong, Zhidu's ability to command the army is also evident."

While thinking, Zhou Yafu's low voice reminded him, which finally brought Liu Shengfei's scattered thoughts back to his eyes;

Raising his head slightly, he saw Zhou Yafu continued with his usual expression: "In the past few years, especially after becoming a general of Zhonglang, Zhi has been in the court and the field, and he has been more and more regarded as a "selfless goshawk". Only Your Majesty The order is to show people the face of the dogs and horses."

"But Zhidu's talent in military affairs, I know."

"—Although I dare not say that Zhidu can be trained into a commander like a minister, I can at least guarantee that Zhidu is more suitable for the army than the imperial court."

"Zhidu's talent can only be revealed in the army;"

"If the talent is really what I think it is, then in the future, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and fighting a decisive battle between cavalry and cavalry should be barely enough..."

After Zhou Yafu's explanation, the astonishment on Liu Sheng's face gradually receded;
Although he still felt awkward because Zhou Yafu wanted to 'accept the current lieutenant as a student', but after much deliberation, he finally accepted this reality.

——Read it with the prince!
Even a lieutenant has nothing to lose.

If you think about it, if you don't know it, there is nothing that Liu Shengzi can't figure out.

But Zhou Yafu still did not forget to follow the Huatou naturally, and explained to Liu Sheng the reason why he chose Cheng Bushi.

"As His Highness said: After Chen, Qu Zhouhou, and Gong Gaohou, there are almost no handsome talents in the Han family who can command the entire army."

"But it's like back then, when the first emperor couldn't find a suitable candidate, he worshiped the late Anzhen Wuhou as his prime minister: if he couldn't do it, he had to pick someone who could do it."

"Except for Zhidu, Li Guang and Cheng Bushi are relatively capable of fighting in the current Han army formation."

"But Li Guangzhi's army is too loose, and the soldiers under his rule will be proud if they win, and they will collapse if they lose;"

"Even if the army under Li Guang's command wins the battle, it is very likely that they will spit out the fruits of victory because of their aggressive advance."

"If you lose a battle, it's even more different - as long as it is Li Guang's army, if it loses, it will definitely be a big defeat of the whole army, or even annihilation of the whole army!"

"Such a person can be used as a vanguard general, but it is absolutely impossible to command the entire army..."

···
"Compared with Li Guang, Cheng Bushi is another extreme."

"His military management is strict, and he marches step by step. Although there is nothing outstanding, he always arranges the march, garrison, and battle in the safest way."

"If it is adjusted, Cheng Buzhi may be able to be used as a commander."

"While it is unlikely to be a big victory, at least there will be no big problems."

···
"Zhidu and Cheng Buzhi are the minister's choice."

"If everything goes well and the two of them are taught by the minister to be in an ideal state, then they can each lead an army and work together to take charge of the decisive battle between the Han and the Hungarians."

"Even if one of them is misunderstood by the minister as 'above the talent', there can still be another one who is barely enough."

"Except for these two people, I really can't think of anyone else who can teach and train according to the goal of 'commander'."

"It is indeed as His Highness said before: the Han family now has a strong general like a cloud, but there is no handsome man to use..."

Following Zhou Yafu's sighs full of sighs, in the huge palace room, only the long and short sighs of the monarch and his subjects, the old and the young were left.

——Nowadays, the Han family is out of favor...
The founding father of the country has completely withdrawn from the stage of history with the death of the last remaining prime minister, Shen Tujia;
Even among the heroes of the second and third generations, there was only one Qu Zhou Hou Li Ji who could not be appointed because of 'lack of virtue'.

The founding generals all withered, and the new generation did not grow up;

Under this premise, regardless of whether there will be a decisive battle between the Han and the Hungarians in the future, the training of officers, especially middle and senior officers, is the most urgent issue for the Han Dynasty at present.

As for the reason, it is also very simple and easy to understand.

soldier bear, one bear;
General Bear, Bear's Nest...

"Ok."

"Since Tiao Hou believes that these two people are the only talents in my Han family who 'still need to try to teach', then let's make it so."

"Tomorrow, Gu will enter the palace to ask the father to play, and Zhao Cheng will not know how to enter the court."

"As for Cheng Bushi and Zhidu, in what capacity they accept Tiaohou's teaching, that depends on Father's arrangement."

···
"Ah······"

"I'm not afraid that Tiao Hou will know;"

"Because of Marquis Tiao's matter, I'm alone with my father, and I can't hear any good things."

"Right now, Gu can only go so far..."

Liu Sheng was a little helpless, which made Zhou Yafu nod his head slightly.

After a while, he answered the wrong question again: "Since it is the crown prince Shaobao, your highness must listen to the minister's talk about military affairs from time to time."

"This ugly word, I can say it up front."

"—Although I have never accepted a disciple, in the future, no matter whether it is His Highness, Cheng Bushi or Zhidu, he will be as strict as his own nephew."

"If you are late, don't show up for no reason, or fail to complete the tasks assigned by the minister, then the minister will have to do something that is against the dignity of the monarch and minister..."

Hearing the hint in Zhou Yafu's tone, the corners of Liu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly;

After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded with a light smile, agreeing to Zhou Yafu's condition.

——Zhou Yafu, the Prince Shaobao, was indeed won by Liu Sheng on his own initiative.

As the heir apparent of the Han family, there is obviously nothing wrong with finding a famous general to teach him military knowledge.

After all, no matter how you say it, you will be the emperor in the future.

Regarding the army and war, although it is not necessary to reach the point of "using soldiers like gods", at the very least, one must have a smattering of knowledge.

Could it be that in the future, the general in the army fooled Tian Zisheng for a while, but Liu Sheng could only open his mouth in confusion, staring at the military map in front of him in a daze?
"Then let's do it first."

"In the past few days, Marquis Tiao will go back to the mansion to rest first, and wait for the father to finish his work before talking about it."

"I also have some things to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain Tiao Hou every day."

"—His Royal Highness speaks seriously."

"——Chen, I would like to obey His Highness's order..."
