Chapter 187 Liu Jinu, the son-in-law of the Xie family
Liu Muzhi spoke faster: "The power and wealth of the world are limited. Since the founding of our country in the Jin Dynasty, these northern noble families have controlled the power and resources of the country. This has allowed the children of the aristocratic families to live a decent life."
They want to live a high-class life. But it also makes them hate the military and not engage in labor. On the one hand, the level and ability of the children of the aristocratic families are declining, and on the other hand, the country needs warriors who have made contributions. What will be the result?"
Liu Yu frowned: "Is this what you said, is destiny about to change?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This has always been the case with the changes of dynasties in the past dynasties. Even a dynasty cannot last forever, so what kind of family is it? On the one hand, after occupying a high position, the enterprising spirit will decline, and the level of the children in the family will slow down.
On the other hand, it will slowly decline, and on the other hand, it will face strong impact from the inferior families below. If one goes down and the other rises, one family after another will withdraw from the center of governance."
"Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Langya Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family, the Yingchuan Yu family, the Gaoping Xi family, and the Chenjun Xie family have ascended to the center of power one by one, and then withdrew one by one. Now it is Xie's turn.
The family and the Wang family in Taiyuan. As the head of the two families, it is impossible for Mr. Xie not to think about the future."
Liu Yuqi said: "So they fell in love with me? Do you want to be kind to me now when I am not prosperous? This can also leave a way out for their family, or extend their family's time in power?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "After all, your surname is Liu and not Xie. As a small soldier or officer, you fought hard to win fame for yourself and for the Xie family. But when you mastered the heavy troops and controlled the empire,
After taking military power, there will be a change of position between master and subordinate. At that time, it will not be the Xie family who will support you, but whether you will let the Xie family continue to maintain the status of a first-class family."
Liu Yu frowned: "There won't be any conflict between the Xie family and I. After all, I only seek development in the military, not power in the court." At this point, he laughed, "I'm just the material.
, I can’t even recognize the characters. It’s okay to fight with bravery, but it’s useless to live in a temple and govern the country.”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Huan Wen had the same idea as you when he was young, but when he really made three northern expeditions and had a heavy army, wouldn't it be that these high-ranking families were vying to come to him? Even if he himself was not very talented and learned.
, but there will also be powerful disciples of aristocratic families who will serve as his military advisors. Just like that Xi Chao, who is known as the beard in the army, is Huan Wen’s think tank, military advisor, including his plan to usurp the throne, was all formulated by this person!"
Liu Yu laughed and patted Liu Muzhi's belly: "So, in the future I will have a fat man join the army?!"
Liu Muzhi said angrily: "Okay, okay, let's talk about business, be serious. Ji Nu, I'm not kidding, I mean, if you reach that position, it will definitely pose a strong threat to the powerful family.
Threats, conflicts will be inevitable when the time comes. It’s not enough for the Xie family to just show kindness to you now, they have to use another method to firmly control you and be determined to defeat you! "
Liu Yu's heart moved: "You mean, marriage?"
Liu Muzhi nodded seriously: "That's what I'm talking about. Now you understand. Xuan Shuai asked the Xie family's daughter to go with you because he intended to betroth her to you. If you marry her, you will
You can become the son-in-law of a high-ranking family in one leap, and no one will dare to look down on you anymore. But at the same time, you have tied your future to the Xie family. From now on, you are no longer Liu Da of Jingkou, but half of the Xie family.
son!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, that's not it. The kind of marriage you are talking about is a marriage between well-matched families. Miaoyin and I are different. We admire each other and truly love each other."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Miao Ying'er? Miaoyin? I knew it was her as soon as I heard it. If I guessed correctly, she should be the noble girl from the aristocratic family you met in Jingkou as you mentioned last time. You
I noticed during the fight that she and Huan Xuan were standing under the big tree and were looking at you. It seemed that she was interested in you at that time."
At this point, Liu Muzhi changed his subject: "However, these noble ladies from aristocratic families may seem noble, but in fact they have no control over their fate. While they have a distinguished life experience, they are also pawns for the family to fight for various interests. Even if she likes you,
But as long as Xie Xianggong says a word, she will have to marry a child of a family she has never met, even if this person will be disabled!"
Liu Yu sighed. He had also heard about the various tragedies caused by this kind of political marriage between high-ranking families: "It seems that Miaoyin and I are lucky. At least, we can be with the people we like. Fatty,
What you said makes sense, maybe for the Xie family, they want to use this marriage as a means to tie me up. But Miaoyin and I really love each other, and our love is pure and does not have these extra things."
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "So if this marriage is completed, your ideals and future will no longer exist. You will only be a son-in-law of the Xie family, and you will never be able to have a real life of your own."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Fat man, are you going too far? The Xie family is kind to me, and Miaoyin and I like each other. If I marry her, will I have no freedom? Will I have to take orders from others for the rest of my life?
What kind of truth is this? Could it be that Commander Xuan still harmed me?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Tell me, what are your ideal pursuits and ambitions in life?"
Liu Yu laughed: "When a man is alive, he will naturally do something famous and famous, and his name will go down in history. Now that China's mainland is sinking and the north has fallen into the hands of the foreign barbarians, I have no other idea. I just hope that I can unite the troops to fight and regain the Central Plains. In the future, I will
If I can write on my tombstone, "Liu Yu, former general of the Jin Dynasty who conquered the north, I will have achieved my wish!"
Having said this, Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "So far, I don't see how this wish of mine will conflict with top families such as the Xie family and the Wang family. I want the Northern Expedition, and they also want the Northern Expedition.
, everyone’s purpose is the same. Even if the purpose is the same, why should I worry about conflicts with the Xie family in the future? When I can calm the world in the future, I will naturally disband and return to my land. I am not a person who is greedy for power, you know.
"
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, without saying a word. After a long time, he sighed and turned to look in the direction of the military camp. There, a commander's flag with the word "thank you" was fluttering in the wind.
He said slowly: "Jinnu, do you really think that my high-ranking family in the Jin Dynasty and their desire for the Northern Expedition are the same thing as your desire for the Northern Expedition?"
