"Train a group of generals with the same ideas and the same goals?" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu and Zhao Xu couldn't help but repeat them, with a thoughtful look on their faces, but soon they all looked at Zhao Yan in confusion because they really had no clue about it.

Zhao Yan knew that Zhao Shu and the others couldn't figure it out, and immediately spoke again: "If you want to train a group of generals and officials with the same ideas and goals, you have to mention the military academies. The so-called military academies are actually similar to those of scholars. They are all places for learning. However, the military academies learn various military tactics, and they also need to militarize students. At the same time, because of the special nature of the military academies, all students must be instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. After these people complete their studies, there will be a group of generals and officials loyal to the emperor and the Song Dynasty. If all the generals and officials of the army are held by these military academies, then the standardization of the army will be just around the corner!"

"Military school? Military school! Military school!" After hearing Zhao Yan's description of the military school, Zhao Shu gradually became excited from his initial suspicion, and felt that his thoughts were suddenly opened. Although the military school had never appeared before, through Zhao Yan's description, he had vaguely seen the huge impact on the Song army after the establishment of the military school.

"San Ge'er, you said before that Yang Huaiyu trained those who lost weight. Is it just the second thing to lose weight, but that Yang Huaiyu wanted to establish this military academy?" At this time, Zhao Xu also reacted and immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Yan's previous words.

"Hehe, brother is right. Since those civil servants want to suppress Yang Huaiyu, the fourth generation of the Yang family, then let Yang Huaiyu give up the idea of ​​entering the army and help the Song Dynasty train generals. Anyway, many of the people who lose weight are from generals, and these people are likely to enter the army in the future. If they can train them in advance, it will be much better than not knowing anything in the future." Zhao Yan smiled and said with a smile. Although the goal of the military academy is grand, it is impossible for the military academy to be established in one day. Yang Huaiyu's weight loss class should be regarded as the predecessor of the military academy.

Compared to Zhao Yan's relaxation, Zhao Shu walked around the room with a serious face. He was also very yearning for the prospects after the establishment of the military academy. But he soon told him that if he set up a military academy with great fanfare, he would definitely be unanimously obstructed by the civil servant group. Now he is in a critical period of fighting for power with Empress Dowager Cao, and he must not lose the support of those ministers. Therefore, he is powerless to do anything about the military academy.

However, Zhao Shu then thought that he could not support the military academy for the time being, but it did not mean that Zhao Yan was not good. He is now just a free king. Although he had a position as an advisor in the military weapon supervisor, he would not necessarily go once every ten days or half a month. The ministers in the court would not care too much about Zhao Yan at all. In addition, the current military academy is under the name of losing weight, which makes people think that this is a joke, which gives the military academy a condition for secret development.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shu also showed a clear smile on his face. He finally figured out why Zhao Yan told him about the military academy. It turned out that he did not want to get any support from him, but just wanted to make himself aware of it. If he encounters something in the future, he would also help him secretly.

"Yan'er, I understand your good intentions for my father. The matters of the military academy will be left to you for full responsibility for the matter. You don't have to worry about other aspects. You just need to build the framework of the military academy with Yang Huaiyu. As for the financial and material resources needed, you can go to Huang Wude, and he will meet all your requirements!" Finally, Zhao Shu explained to Zhao Yan solemnly.

"Son of my son!" Zhao Yan was also happy when he heard this. The reason he chose to tell Zhao Shu was to get the other party's guarantee. However, Zhao Yan thought of another thing and said again, "Dad, although the military academy cannot be made public for the time being, the position of military academy principal must be established, and only Daddy can do this position is the most suitable!"

"Haha, I don't have this time for my father. Since this military academy was proposed by Yan'er, you should do the position of principal!" Zhao Shu laughed indifferently when he heard Zhao Yan's words.

"This is not possible. The military academy trained military talents in the future of the Song Dynasty. The first thing they learned in the military academy was loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Therefore, the principal of the military academy must be the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so that it can achieve better results. After these students graduated in the future, they can also regard themselves as the emperor's disciples. Therefore, you don't have to refuse. When the eldest brother succeeds to the throne in the future, the eldest brother will take on the principal!" Zhao Yan said seriously when he heard this, but he was a little suspicious. With Zhao Shu's wisdom, he should be able to see the importance of the position of the principal of the military academy. Why did he actually take responsibility just now? Could it be that he was testing whether he had ambition?

When Zhao Yan insisted on taking the position of principal, Zhao Shu was also sure, and at the same time he felt relieved. He naturally knew the importance of the military academy very clearly. However, just now he was a little worried that Zhao Yan performed so well and proposed the idea of ​​the military academy. Do you want to compete for the throne with his elder brother Zhao Xu? However, when he saw Zhao Yan rejecting the position of principal of the military academy without hesitation, Zhao Shu finally felt relieved. If Zhao Yan wanted to compete for the throne, it would never be possible to give up this opportunity to increase his strength.

In contrast, Zhao Xu has been immersed in the beautiful fantasy after the establishment of the military academy and did not discover the temptation between his father and his younger brother. However, even if he knew, with Zhao Xu's personality, he would not be afraid at all, because he was a very confident person. In his opinion, among the four brothers, he was only suitable to sit on the throne. As for Zhao Yan, who performed well during this period, Zhao Xu didn't care at all, because in his opinion, although his third brother became much smarter due to the fate of immortality, he was still very lazy in character. I am afraid that even if he gave the throne to him, he would be lazy to sit on it.

The affairs of the military academy were decided for the time being, because considering the reaction of the ministers in the court and the special circumstances of Zhao Shu, it is really not appropriate to be made public, so Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu can only be secretly responsible. However, Zhao Shu agreed to serve as the principal of the military academy. In addition, Zhao Xu also took on the position of vice principal as a vice principal, and Zhao Yan served as the military supervisor, in charge of the discipline of the military academy, which was equivalent to the teaching director of the later schools. As for Yang Huaiyu, it was a bit miserable. He not only had to serve as the chief instructor of the military academy, but also the only military tactics in the military academy. It can be said that he was able to seize civil and military academy. Whether the first class of cadets in the military academy can achieve results depends entirely on him.

When Zhao Shu and his son came out of the side hall, the family banquet in the main hall also ended. Zhao Yan took Cao Ying away. Originally, Princess Shoukang and Princess Bao'an wanted to leave together, but they were called by Empress Dowager Cao and said that they were asked to accompany them to celebrate the New Year. In addition, the fat little Zhao Feng was also kept by Zhao Shu. So in the end, only Zhao Yan and Cao Ying left the palace.

"Second brother, stay!" Just as Zhao Yan and Cao Ying left the inner palace and were about to get on the carriage, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind. Hearing this voice, they were both a little surprised. They turned around and happened to see their elder sister Princess Dening coming over with a smile.

"Sister, are you doing something?" Zhao Yan also smiled at the time. Although it was the first time he saw this elder sister, he felt pretty good. He had a happy chat with Princess Baoan, Princess Shoukang, and Cao Ying just now. He was probably a person who was easy to deal with.

"Hehe, I'm not looking for you, Brother San, but I have a few words to say with my sister Ying'er." Princess Dening smiled, then pulled Cao Ying to the other side of the carriage and muttered in a low voice, not knowing what the two women were saying?

After a while, Princess Dening took Cao Ying's little hand and walked over intimately, then gently pushed her to Zhao Yan and smiled: "Okay, my elder sister has finished saying that, now I will return your little wife to you!"

Zhao Yan was also a little amused about this cheerful elder sister. Instead, Cao Ying said, "Sister is pregnant, so it's better to go back early, otherwise the prince-consort might come to the palace to find someone!"

Hearing Cao Ying's teasing, Princess Dening giggled again, then said goodbye to Zhao Yan and the others, and got on the carriage and went back. At this time, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying also got on the carriage. After sitting down, Zhao Yan asked curiously: "Madam, what did you think to you just now?"

"Haha, it's all about family business. Wang Ma Ma has a real sister who has a big oil shop. The business was not very good before. I heard that our soap workshop uses a lot of oil, so I wanted to sell the oil produced in the oil shop to us. In addition, my elder sister also has a business in the south, so I want to order some soap from our soap workshop and then ship it to the south for sale. It's all small things that don't come to the table. My elder sister was embarrassed to say it at the family dinner just now, so I chose this time to mention a few words, and I agreed just now." Cao Ying said very relaxedly.

When Zhao Yan heard that it was a business matter, he stopped asking about it. In most noble families, doing business is a woman's family business, and few men take care of the business. Of course, only those who are really incompetent like Cao Song are sent by their families to manage the family's business.

Zhao Yan's carriage left the palace from Xihuamen and rushed to his prince's mansion along Xijiaolou Street. It was New Year's Eve and the streets were very lively. Although the businesses were closed, many wealthy families set off fireworks. Therefore, the streets were full of people watching the fireworks. Children were hiking around in the crowd, and from time to time they would ignite their own fireworks and throw them into the crowd, which caused a burst of chaos and laughter from many people.

Looking at the lively scene on the streets of Tokyo and the military academy were also settled, Zhao Yan was in a very comfortable mood. Just thinking that sixty years later, the extremely prosperous Tokyo city in front of him would be ravaged by the barbaric Jurchens, Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning, especially when he thought about the insults of the women in the city and the Zhao royal family after the city was broken, Zhao Yan suddenly felt his blood surged, and there was a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"If my life span is long enough, I should still be alive at that time. In addition, there will be countless children and grandchildren. Even if I don't care about life and death, I must not watch my children and grandchildren suffer any insults!" Zhao Yan said at this time in an inaudible voice. In order to himself and his children and grandchildren, he would stop the tragedy in history no matter what!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan turned his head to look at Cao Ying, who was enjoying the night view with joy beside him, and then turned his head to look northeast. The thoughts in his mind seemed to fly over Tokyo and the Song Dynasty, flying over the vast land of the Liao Kingdom, and finally landed between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast of later generations. There was a barbarian nation living there. Although this nation is still bullied and exploited by the Liao Kingdom at all times, with the weakening of the Liao Kingdom, these barbarians have begun to slowly accumulate strength. As soon as the opportunity comes, they will burst out with amazing strength. Both Song and Liao countries will tremble because of this barbarian nation. However, now Zhao Yan is here. When he is determined to stop the tragedy of the Song Dynasty decades later, he also destined the tragic fate of this barbarian nation.
