Chapter 2479: Advising Jin to proclaim himself emperor to protect himself
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "What I mean is that now Murong Lan has returned to Nanyan, and with Liu Yu's insistence on the Northern Expedition, the two countries will definitely have a war, and they will have no future. This is the opportunity for Queen Wang, but
, the general and the queen are naturally impossible, unless..."
Yin Zhongwen slammed the table: "Unless Liu Yu imitates Huan Xuan and usurps the throne for the Jin Dynasty, and then imitates those Hulu kings and marries the queen of the previous dynasty?!"
Tao Yuanming nodded with satisfaction: "Now you should know why I came to find you. If I hadn't seen that Liu Yu had the intention to become emperor on his own, why would I have left him?!"
Yin Zhongwen sat down. After the shock just now, he was still a little confused. He looked at Tao Yuanming's face and asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't you persuade Jin Conglong and asked me to do this?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because I have always been a person with an indifferent temperament, and I am not keen on power. No matter who becomes the emperor, if he levies excessive taxes and tortures the people for his own selfish desires, I will not be willing to serve him. I can do it now."
I am an official and I have returned to the mountains and fields, but can you, Mr. Yin? Leave your glory and wealth, farm your own crops like me, eat simple meals every day, and wear common people's clothes. Can you accept this kind of life?"
Yin Zhongwen curled up his lips and said, "Well, Tao Gong, you have lived in the mountains and wilderness for a long time, can you bear it? My Yin family has been rich and noble for many generations. I have lived for decades and am used to a good life with fine clothes and fine food? This kind of suffering,
It’s too much to eat.”
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "So, you want wealth? Is this the only way to go? I want to be a celebrity? A hermit, so I can only temporarily ask for orders for the people. If Liu Yu can understand that his behavior will hurt the people in the future? Give up on him
That unrealistic dream? If you can truly be benevolent and righteous to the people, then I am willing to work for it, just like this time? I went to Hou Qin as an envoy to return to the Twelve Counties of Nanyang for him, and made him famous?
Just hope that he can regain the lost territory through this bloodless method instead of launching a war."
Yin Zhongwen smiled and said: "This kind of good thing? It can never happen again. If Hou Qin had not wanted to fight with Hu Xia, he would not have agreed to these conditions of yours. In fact, you know best how lucky you are this time. If you were asked to go to the South
Yan wants to cede territory? I'm afraid that Murong Chao will cut off your head first. In this world, we still have to rely on money and food from soldiers and horses? We won it down inch by inch."
Tao Yuanming waved his hand: "How could I not know this? It's just that the Hulu are strong. In the past hundred years since the Jin Dynasty was founded, there were many Northern Expeditions? What did we get in the end? Unless there is civil strife among the Hulu, we can take advantage of it, so we can dispatch the king's army.
In order to win the support of the people of the motherland, you can get the greatest results at the lowest cost. But now the northern barbarians are relatively stable internally. If we only rely on force to fight against them, I am afraid it will happen again.
The failure of the external war will lead to internal disputes and even civil war. Last time Xie Xuan’s Northern Expedition failed, it eventually evolved into a civil war in Changdao. It has not recovered yet.”
Yin Zhongwen nodded: "I can understand your thoughts, Mr. Tao. These warriors want to perform meritorious service and gain power through fighting, but why bother? The north and south have been separated for hundreds of years. The general trend of the world is divided and combined.
It’s not certain, can’t we just live a good life by ourselves? But now, from Liu Yu to Liu Yi, in order to fight for power and gain, they all want to take the lead in the Northern Expedition into their own hands, and I’m afraid it’s hard to stop them.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "So I need you to persuade Liu Yu to join. Only if you take advantage of this contribution and ascend to the position of prime minister, will your words have weight. Only then can Liu Yu give up the idea of conquering foreign countries and truly be able to do so.
If the earth is stable inside, this will be a blessing to the people of the world."
Yin Zhongwen asked in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Tao Yuanming said seriously: "Liu Yu has been clamoring for the Northern Expedition all day long. It's not that he really wants the Northern Expedition. If he hates the Hu people so much, how could he marry that Murong Lan? I heard that he was still on the grassland before.
He and Tuoba Gui, the leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty, became Agan, that is, they were brothers. It can be seen that this man's Northern Expedition was just a slogan. In his heart, he was still the same as Huan Wen and others, who wanted to rise to military glory and gain power step by step."
"Liu Yu now has the highest power in the Jin Dynasty, but he has not yet reached the point where he is the dominant family. Not to mention the subtle relationship with the noble families, even in the Beifu Army, there are Liu Yi, He Wuji and even Liu Jingxuan
He and others are not far from his power. The reason why he has had a quarrel with Liu Yi recently is that he refuses to give up Jiangbei. To put it bluntly, he just doesn’t want to give up the opportunity of the Northern Expedition to Liu Yi, who poses the greatest threat to him."
Yin Zhongwen laughed: "So that's it. I thought he wanted to occupy land in Jiangbei and sell it to the Wu family at a high price for personal gain."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "These are the practices of high-ranking families in the past, but Liu Yu wants more than them. He really wants to have great power in his hands and be a powerful emperor. Therefore, he must establish unparalleled achievements.
At least one or two barbarian countries must be wiped out and the lost territory of more than one state must be recovered in order to convince Liu Yi. If he really ascends the throne now, he will not go to the Northern Expedition, but will think about how to consolidate
If we want power, we must relieve the military power of our brothers, appease the people, and benefit the families. Only in this way can the world be stable. Therefore, making Liu Yu the emperor now is the best way to calm the war and stabilize the world."
Yin Zhongwen blinked: "You also said that Liu Yu does not have the absolute strength to overwhelm Liu Yi and He Wuji. Now that he has not conquered the Hulu, how can he persuade them to join? No one is convinced. What if I
If you dare to mention it like this, I'm afraid Liu Yi will directly regard it as a treason and kill the entire clan."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "The person who wants Liu Yu to be the emperor most, besides Liu Yu himself, is the king who loves the king and the queen. We have just analyzed this. This time Liu Yi took action against Liu Tingyun in order to protect her, using the female history
Zhentu forced Queen Wang to hand over the jade seal and retreat to the harem, but with her personality, she would never swallow this breath like this. She would work harder to let Liu Yu ascend the throne and overpower Liu Yi. When the time comes, she will force Liu Yi
He personally killed Liu Tingyun."
"Since you have been involved in this struggle, it is impossible to withdraw from it, otherwise you will not be human on both sides. Last time, Liu Yu killed Wang Yu to intimidate the high-ranking family members who dared to oppose him on the Tuduan Immigration. Then
Come down, hehe, just based on those flattering poems you wrote for Liu Tingyun, Wang Shenai has reason to kill you, as a warning to all the high-ranking families who are not on Liu Yu's side!"
