Finally, and what shocked many people the most was that Wang Boyan actually had the intention of letting the emperor stay in Shouzhou for a long time!
Not Yangzhou, not Nanyang, but Shouzhou!
This suggestion may seem absurd, but upon careful consideration it has many merits. Even Mr. Kobayashi, who was once the governor of Shouzhou and whose family has extensive influence in Huainan, was tempted by it!
There was a commotion in the wooden shed in front of the imperial tent. Zhao Jiu also pondered for a long time, but slowly shook his head: "This matter is of great importance. Why not discuss it after the war? What Mr. Wang said before was very appropriate. Now let's just talk about the rewards after the victory of Liangshanpo... Is it feasible for Yang Weizhong, the governor of Jianwu Army, to stay in Nanjing?"
"I think it's feasible." Wang Yuan, the commander of the Imperial Camp, responded immediately. "General Yang is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and he has outstanding qualifications, talents, and is loyal and reliable. However, Hebei has actually fallen, and the position of the governor of the northern route is fictitious... Why not let him stay in Nanjing?"
Zhao Jiu sighed. Even if he put aside the serious topic of staying in Shouzhou, he could sensitively sense some political struggle from the urgency of Wang and Wang, and then he had to start thinking about everything from the perspective of a political animal.
To be honest, this is the helplessness of an official. He cannot abandon the bureaucracy to concentrate on a war... Even if he has tried his best to maintain a weak central group, the bureaucracy is still following him, and as the situation improves slightly, it becomes larger and larger and appears to be everywhere.
But from a rational point of view, they are indispensable if we want to fight the war effectively.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but feel jealous of Yue Fei again. Ever since he received the military report in the evening, he had been having wild thoughts. If he was allowed to go all out and fight without any constraints, would he be able to do better than Yue Fei?
Of course not!
Zhao Jiu had not lost his mind. He knew very well that he could do a little work for himself, the nation and the people in this era. In essence, he still relied on his position as an official and occupied Zhao Gou's body. The official status was his biggest golden finger! Without these bureaucratic groups supporting him, without this status involving Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Wang De and Yang Yizhong, how could he have achieved such a small achievement on the banks of the Huai River?
However, having said that, rational cognition is rationality, which does not delay Zhao Jiu's emotional jealousy. This mentality came very hastily. If Yue Fei had not suddenly appeared in his field of vision like a cone in a bag, Zhao Jiu himself might not have been able to notice it... But he appeared, and as an engineering student with no major problems in his values, Zhao Jiu himself naturally could not help but be vigilant and reflective.
Why are you jealous of Yue Fei?
After thinking it over, Zhao Jiu could only think that it was after he had experienced the Shouzhou confrontation and the Zhang Yongzhen incident that he had finally torn apart the barrier between him and this era and developed a certain sense of belonging to the era. With this sense of belonging, coupled with a little bit of human selfishness, he certainly wanted to complete the redemption of the entire era and seize certain honors... This didn't seem to be an immoral idea, but the jealousy that came from it was probably because he was too young!
It seems that he still hasn’t suffered enough from the beatings of the times!
