Grand Scholar Fang was not hot-headed. He knew that it was impossible to move the Northern Camp without the Gu family members on their side this time. Since Liu Chong Shan's rebellion last time, the establishment of the Imperial Army had also undergone major adjustments. For positions above Company Commander, it had to be strictly checked to confirm that their families were innocent and their military achievements were real. It put an end to some people's loopholes. At the same time, it was separated into two divisions to mutually supervise one another. They would restrain each other but did not interfere with each other. It was also necessary to strictly prevent someone in the imperial army from covering the sky and breaking the law.

However, there were advantages and disadvantages to everything. The noble families of Great Liang were divided into civil and military, there were also generals that belonged to nobility, however, most of these families had declined. Otherwise, there would not have been such a scene of not having anyone of use during the Yuan He years, having no choice but to let Gu Yun, a young child, take control of the army.

The descendants of these renowned generals, born under the great shade of their ancestors, if they were incompetent in both literary and martial arts, they would enter the imperial army through the back door like Liu Chong Shan, spending years accumulating service time, then find a way to forge military merits to raise up through the ranks.

After years of co-existing, there had been a special ecology between these young soldiers and real soldiers. Both sides saved face for each other, which could not only ensure combat effectiveness but also gave consideration to relationship and dignity.

Unfortunately, this balance was destroyed by Li Feng after the mutiny of the imperial army.

The person in charge may think that a law they established in anger was thorough and clear. At that time, no one reminded Li Feng, who was delirious from fury, that he had blocked all the young men's dreams of promotion in the capital.

Which young master was not spoiled? Who would be willing to be a small soldier for all his life?

It was not terrible to offend a young master. What was important was that in the early years of the Great Liang Dynasty, military officers were more important than civil ones. The ancestors left behind one privilege — military generals were allowed to have their own family soldiers, keep some of their arms, and shelter the later generations. When in danger, they could be the last fighting force of the country. When Liu Chong Shan, Lu Chang, and others rebelled, Fang Qin had used these forces to restrain the rebels and hold them back until the Northern Camp arrived.
