Chapter 499 Between gains and losses, a three-party game

"Thank you Zhou Xiang."

At the side door of Qingyu Palace, Qin Dong smiled and thanked Zhou Boyuan.

"I'm not good at military affairs. The Holy Emperor asked me first because he saw that I was old. Being the commander of the Zhennan Army is what Patriarch Qin deserves. Patriarch Qin is so polite."

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

Qin Dong didn't say much anymore, and after saying goodbye to each other, Zhou Boyuan boarded the carriage he had come from.

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

Qin Ying's figure flashed, and rushed over. Seeing Qin Dong, she walked forward quickly, looked at Qin Dong enviously, cupped her hands and said congratulations: "Brother, congratulations."

Obviously, Qin Ying just got the news that Qin Dong was appointed as the head of the Zhennan Army Corps.

Qin Dong smiled wryly and said, "I'm so worried now, congratulations?"

Qin Ying asked in surprise, "Why did you say that, brother?"

Qin Dong glanced at Qin Ying, and naturally knew why Qin Ying came here.

What else could it be but to be an official?
"At most, I was a general of the French Protectorate Army, and I commanded 3000 people. That's the Zhennan Army, which counts 10 people."

At that time, when he was pulled by Shao Yao and provoked by Qin Yi, he agreed without thinking too much.

However, after leaving Huaijin Court, the energy has passed, and the more he thinks about it, the less confident he is.

Impulsive, really impulsive at the time.

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

Qin Dong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said: "Second brother, you mean that I can use the French Guardian 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 abolishes the public for personal reasons?"

Qin Dong had already figured it out at this time, breaking through the confusion, thinking more than Qin Ying, he couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "I was worrying too much."

Then Qin Dong turned his head to look at Qin Ying and said with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, my second brother. It just so happens that the Zhennan Legion was founded, and you are the deputy general of the French Protectorate Army. Just deal with all my prime ministers."

Qin Dong figured it out, besides being the commander of the French Protectorate, he was also the head of the Xiangnan Qin Clan, and even his Qin Yi's biological elder brother.

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

No matter how rebellious the southern frontier army is, they will bow their heads in the face of him.

Coupled with his previous military experience, a comprehensive comparison naturally made him stand out and became 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.

"If you gain something, you will lose something. The second brother has not understood this truth until now."

……

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

Because Zhou Boyuan intends to train Zhou Hou, Zhou Hou can understand many things now, and even directly participate in some things.

Zhou Boyuan was thinking about something, and casually talked about Zhenbei Army and Zhennan Army.

After hearing this, Zhou Hou was shocked.

"To command so many troops and guard such a large territory, is this something that has never happened before in history? Probably only the Holy Emperor would dare to do this, right?"

Zhou Boyuan seemed to have figured something out, he no longer looked contemplative, continued to teach Zhou Hou as usual, shook his head with a smile, and said to Zhou Hou: "There are still some things in history, such as the first dynasty, the Qin Dynasty. This happened, but the collapse of the Qin Dynasty was more or less related to this, so the later dynasties absorbed these lessons and no longer set up such a powerful army commander."

Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty founded by the Qin Clan of Weishui River?
It is also the dynasty that only started with the catastrophe of the spiritual tide.

It is also the dynasty with the shortest life span in history.

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

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

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

Zhou Boyuan was taken aback after hearing this.

According to historical records, during the Qin Dynasty, there were also great restrictions on the aristocratic family and the royal family.

In such a comparison, Daqin and Dajing do have many similarities.

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

Zhou Boyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "The Holy Emperor likes to innovate and is not a conservative person. The reason why he has some similarities with the Qin Dynasty should be that different routes lead to the same goal."

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

Since the dynasty's 2000 years, although the calendar is vast and there are many records, but in summary, it is just that little thing.

Either one or the other, some of Qin Yi's policies are similar to a certain dynasty in history, and it is normal.

After all, there is nothing new in history.

Zhou Hou nodded clearly, and ended this topic, involving the Holy Emperor, there is no need to say too much, he knows the rules of the gentleman.

Zhou Hou recalled the scene he saw just now, and asked curiously: "According to Patriarch Qin's intention, you gave up the head of the Zhennan Army?"

Zhou Boyuan looked up at Zhou Hou, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I was the one who was asked by the Holy Emperor first, but I declined, and it was Patriarch Qin who was asked by the Holy Emperor. After hesitating for a moment, Patriarch Qin finally agreed."

Seeing the calm and clear appearance of the gentleman, Zhou Hou said regretfully: "Sir, that is the Zhennan Army."

But Zhou Hou knew that Mister had a dream of being a general.

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

Zhou Boyuan shook his head with a smile, opened the curtains, looked at the bustling street outside the window, and said leisurely: "You don't understand, in everything, you have to lose something. Afraid of losing more."

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

Zhou Boyuan glanced at Zhou Hou, shook his head and said: "You, after all these years, you are still so reckless. There are many things that you can only know with your heart, and you can't say it out loud, understand?"

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

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

Forget it, ignorance is bliss.

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

Zhou Hou thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking curiously: "Sir, you said that if you gain something, you will lose it. Patriarch Qin won the Zhennan Army, what did he lose?"

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

What is the answer?
Patriarch Qin cares most about...

Zhou Hou followed the method Zhou Boyuan taught him, deduced it for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Are you staying in Qingyu Palace?"

Zhou Boyuan thought about it for a while, but he still spoke clearly.

"To be more precise, it is the center. If I take over the position of legion commander, I will also leave Luojing and resign as prime minister, and will no longer be a member of the power center. Patriarch Qin is no exception."

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

only……

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

Zhou Boyuan nodded with a teachable expression, "That's right, so this is a trade-off. For me, the price is too high, so I can't accept it, but for Patriarch Qin, the price is still with him." It is within the range of tolerance, and, compared to what he lost, what he got now is more exciting to him."

This is something that adds to the background of Xiang Nanqin's lineage.

Just leaving the center for a few years, you can quickly accumulate a small part of the heritage of an aristocratic family, which is too tempting for Qin Dong.

Qin Dong didn't think about it at the time, it was Shao Yao's reminder that made him make up his mind.

However, with Qin Dong's intelligence, it is estimated that he has already understood the gains and losses.

Zhou Hou followed Zhou Boyuan's thinking 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 the Zhenshan Army that was removed from Luojing , Northern Xinjiang has the largest army and the strongest military strength among the four sides, while Southern Xinjiang ranks second, and it was given to the Xiangnan Qin Clan, the Holy Emperor, is this trying to centralize all the military power to the Qin Clan?"

Zhou Boyuan glared at Zhou Hou and said, "How many times have I told you, don't presume the Holy Emperor's thoughts in vain, you know what you're doing!"

Zhou Hou shrank his head in fright, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Deduce current affairs according to the method taught by Mr., and it will always fall on the Holy Emperor in the end. I, I have no choice."

That's right, how could the Sage Emperor be bypassed for major events in the world.

Zhou Boyuan sighed helplessly and said, "The Holy Emperor's wisdom is like an abyss. If you speculate in vain, it will only lead you astray, just like the matter of the legion. In the end, although almost all the military power belongs to the Qin family, there are no other things in it." For considerations, such as the issue of the family's private army, such as the cultivation 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 It's asking for trouble."

Didn't He Tang say this to himself by Zhou Boyuan?
"Yes, sir."

Zhou Hou was taught, he responded, stopped asking questions, and read the history books honestly.

Zhou Boyuan lowered his head again and fell into deep thought.

Easier said than done, how could he not think too much while sitting in that position?

……

"Shaoyao, Qin Dong left Qingyu Palace and faced Zhou Boyuan, wouldn't you be alone and helpless? Why bother to be that villain?"

Luo Hong listened to Shaoyao's detailed analysis of the infighting in this meeting, and couldn't help frowning, asking in a puzzled way.

Shaoyao was relieved to see that she only repeated it once, and analyzed the game behind the information, and Luo Hong, who understood what choice she had made, glanced at it.

"Luo Hong, your intelligence analysis ability is getting stronger and stronger."

Luo Hong didn't dare to take the credit.

"This is what Shaoyao you told us before. We are weak, so we need to unite with Qin to fight against Zhou."

Shao Yao first praised Luo Hong, and then explained: "In the past, I joined forces with Qin Dong to fight against Zhou Boyuan in order to maintain balance, so I had to join forces weakly, but now, with the full transformation of the family into a sect, with The two Qin Clans control more than [-]% of the army in the Central Plains. The fragile balance of the three has been broken again. In the future, the strength of the three will be equal, reaching a three-legged pattern, and, if nothing happens, this pattern will last for a long time .”

When Shao Yao said this, even Yan Zhi, who was not good at tactics, understood it.

"So, Shaoyao, you have to change your strategy, from the original alliance of the weak and the weak to the current friend and foe? Take this opportunity to drive Qin Dong out of the center?"

Shaoyao shook her head with a smile and said: "There are gains and losses. Even if Qin Dong figured out the gains and losses afterwards, he wouldn't blame me. Now, for Xiang Nanqin's, it is an important opportunity for development and growth." If you miss it, it will be difficult for the Xiangnan Qin family to have such an opportunity."

With the Changping Qin family in front, Qin Dong had no choice.

"Then you shouldn't be such a villain."

Luo Hong still felt that it was unnecessary.

Shao Yao pondered, and then explained: "Actually, I also came according to the Lord's will."

Luo Hong was stunned for a moment: "My lord, what does he mean? Then the lord should ask Zhou Boyuan first?"

Shao Yao smiled and shook her head and said: "Zhou Boyuan, the veteran of the three dynasties, has such a strong foundation in the court that almost the entire court is Zhou Boyuan's people. The Lord's inquiry this time is actually just to test Zhou Boyuan, to see if he dares to take military power. , It also depends on whether he is willing to leave the center, who is Zhou Boyuan, he naturally understands the twists and turns, and declined the matter very rationally."

"As for the transfer of military power to the Qin family, there is an example of the Changping Qin family. If Qin Dong disagrees with such an obvious signal on the spot, the Lord will not give up on this matter, but will just choose another candidate. However, generally speaking, Qin Dong He is the most suitable candidate, if it is changed, even if the goal is achieved in the end, there will always be regrets, it is better for me to be the villain, let Qin Dong accept the matter on the spot, so that the master's plan can be carried out smoothly."

"After all, I am different from Zhou Boyuan and Qin Dong. What I represent, from the beginning to the end, is only the interests of the Lord."

Following Shaoyao's words, Luo Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Sure enough, the game between you high-level officials is really too complicated, and I barely understood the way of it until you told me so much. "

Shao Yao smiled and said: "However, this matter is very important, you don't understand, when you do a lot of things, you will be tied up, won't you?"

Luo Hong repeatedly shook his head and said, "I'm in charge of intelligence, I don't need to make decisions, I just need to do things according to your orders."

After hearing this, Yanzhi felt that it was reasonable, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Shaoyao, you can just decide directly, we will listen to you."

Shaoyao sighed helplessly and said: "There is no one who is born with knowledge in this world. I also figured out these things bit by bit. I was born in a wild way, far worse than Zhou Bo, even if it is Qin Dong. I can't compare. After all, Qin Dong received special training before coming here. Qin had high hopes for him at that time, and Qin Dong did not live up to Qin's expectations. With his experience and his talent, Qin Dong I have grown very fast, and now I am enough to compete with Zhou Boyuan. If I hadn't had the Lord's help and teaching, I am afraid that Zhou Boyuan and Qin Dong would have left me behind a long time ago. Even if they gave me a trick, I would I probably thought it was a good thing, so I went in happily and was sold by them, and I have to thank the other party."

Luo Hong and Yanzhi looked at each other.

Saying this, are you not offended?
Have you forgotten Qin Dong?

Qin Dong was just forced by you to leave the center, rushed to the south, and took on a drudgery task of guarding the southern border. Moreover, even if he wanted to understand this matter afterwards, he still had to accept your kindness, thank you for your thought and commitment at that time Thanks for the reminder.

Just thinking about it, they panicked for Qin Dong.

but……

Luo Hong was still puzzled, frowned and asked puzzledly: "There is no movement from the aristocratic family, even if there is, it will not be possible to completely transform it into strength in a short time, Shaoyao, you can take Qin Qin now." Dong drove out of the center, isn't it, a little early?"

Shao Yao smiled and said no more, just said leisurely:

"The Lord has his own arrangements."
