Liu Muzhi sighed: "Tao Yuanming has a long way to go and the city is very deep. He will never be an impulsive person. If he really had such a sense of justice, he would have long ago been oppressed by the tenants and farmers for so many years.
He can speak uprightly. Even when Huan Xuan became emperor and took power, he did so many evil things and never came out to remonstrate. But now that the plan to immigrate to Jiangbei came out, he suddenly came to plead for the people? Even in
When the people have benefited in this way, if you want to resign just because of the ridiculous reason that a so-called Huru may go south and harm the people, it only shows that he has no intention of working under you at all.
"
Liu Yu nodded: "But if he didn't want to help me in the first place, why did he resign his great contribution to capture Jiangling, give up his official position in the court, and even offend the noble families in your family, just to join me?
Where is the shogunate?"
Liu Muzhi laughed: "I didn't speak just now, just to see his performance. Now I understand. He joined you just for today, just to show that he doesn't recognize your true face.
And then he showed it by resigning, because he knows that you will not really kill him or harm him for this matter, otherwise, the words he scolded you today will become true."
Liu Yu frowned: "You mean, he wants all the people to think that I have always been hypocritical and that I am actually the same person as Huan Xuan and Sima Yuanxian?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "That's it. When Huanxuan came to Beijing, many lower-class people regarded it as the hope for the future, but Huanxuan's misbehavior disappointed them. What Tao Yuanming wants to do is to make the people start to treat him too.
You are disappointed. Once there is a problem with the trust of the people or soldiers in you, then you will not be able to hold the power for long."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "He can write poems and essays to incite the people to change their views on me? But as long as the barbarians don't go south, this won't come true, right?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "There is a word that makes people panic. If everyone comes to Jiangbei happily and full of hope for the future, then everything will be easy. But if the mood changes and they think that they are in danger of coming here,
If you want to go back but are not allowed, there will be complaints. Even if the Hu people don't come, there will be all kinds of conflicts and problems. I heard that this is the case with the military households in the north of Ling Dynasty in the Later Qin Dynasty, because they have been attacked and attacked by Hu Xia for a long time.
They all wanted to move back to Guanzhong, but Yao Xing refused to let them go, so they responded passively all day long, did not go to war, did not rescue, and even abandoned their farm work, pinning all their hopes on gods and Buddhas."
Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi paused: "This time when Tao Yuanming went to the Later Qin Dynasty, he saw this scene. I heard that the military households in the north of Ling Dynasty found some disabled soldiers to come to Beijing to ask for orders, but Yao Xing avoided them, so they
He knelt down and begged the great monk Kumarajiva to show mercy and save him. As a result, Yao Xing became angry and almost imprisoned Kumarajiva. It can be seen from this that all monarchs in the world cannot tolerate themselves.
His authority has been surpassed by others. And Tao Yuanming is probably going to do just this."
Liu Yu frowned: "Then is there any way to solve his conspiracy?"
Liu Muzhi asked: "Now that you know his motives, what do you think?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "He has a thousand conspiracies, and I will respond to them one by one. Whatever should be done, that will be done. If he has made meritorious service and wants to resign, then let him go. As long as he is not allowed to go to Jiangbei,
Then it's okay. He will be given the official position he deserves, and he can go to someone else's shogunate as he pleases, but there is only one rule: he is not allowed to have contact with the new immigrants in Jiangbei and those high-ranking families."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "I'm afraid this won't work. Even if he doesn't go, there are still ways to write articles or let others spread these rumors and publicize them."
Liu Yu said seriously: "In Jiangbei, I believe in our people and our soldiers. No matter how many rumors he spreads, as long as he can let the people know that the imperial court is really giving benefits and tax exemptions, allowing them to get benefits locally, and also
A strong army will be sent to protect them, so that they will not panic."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Then you have to maintain a large army in Jiangbei. Who are you going to send to guard it? How many troops and horses are needed?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Xile seems to want to go out of town Jiangbei in person, but I won't give him this opportunity. Once Jiangbei gives it to him at this time, he will never get it back. So, other things
I can make concessions to him, but this is the only way I can."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "What if Xile refuses to give in? He has come back with great achievements this time."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "There are two things that cannot be compromised with Xile. One is the Northern Expedition base in Jiangbei, and the other is the position of Prime Minister in the DPRK. When he comes back this time, he will definitely deal with these two things.
You want to make a deal with me, but I won't give in. How did you collect the illegal evidence about Brother Tingyun's death last time and Liu Tingyun's secret mischief?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "There is irrefutable proof. There are more than ten old thieves of Tianshi Dao who were personally recruited by Liu Tingyun. They saw that Liu Tingyun recruited Yao Ermao and placed him in Diao Pin's house. Because of this
The woman found more than one old thief, Yao Ermao, and arranged them in more than just the Diao family and the Huan family. After the incident, she also panicked and arranged for these thieves from other families to escape, and I caught many of them.
.Now, this woman is afraid of hiding and trembling all day long, and she doesn’t know which day she will be punished.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Although it is against national law to indulge this woman this time, but now it involves the relationship between me and Xile, I have to make this deal. If Xile wants to protect her, she has to come with me
Make concessions. Do you think Xi Le will do it?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "It will be a big loss for him this time, but to be fair, if he abandons Liu Tingyun, he will lose more in the future. After all, failing to keep his wife will destroy his credibility, and
Without Liu Tingyun's clue, many future transactions and contacts with the family will also be affected."
Liu Yu nodded: "Then let's do it like this. As a concession, I can give him a high-ranking official, a big state, or even two. I can also promote Meng Chang from Danyang Yin to Shangshu Pushe, and give him a few
Even if his brothers are promoted to generals, it's not a bad treatment for him. Even if he wants to be the governor of Jingzhou this time, I can consider giving it to him."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, he won't want the governor of Jingzhou. If he wanted it, he wouldn't lead his army back. Our brother Xile wants power in the court, not outside the town. Then
It means that I will completely surrender to you. It will take time to pacify Jingzhou now, and it will also offend people, so you should find someone else."
