Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is certain. I asked Yang Muzhi to guard Pengcheng because his family is from Taishan and can recruit old people from his hometown. After a big quarrel with Xile last year, I asked Daolian to come out.
In order to suppress Pengcheng, Yang Muzhi was sent to Wu State to serve as internal historian. However, for this Northern Expedition, Yang Muzhi must be used. My brother has failed in many things and failed more than he has done. I will take him to share some of the credit this time, and I will find him later.
I have arranged for him as an idle worker, which is also an explanation to my mother and my Liu family. There are really not many relatives around me who can be of great use."
Wang Miaoyin and Liu Muzhi exchanged glances and nodded: "Brother Yu, we have reminded you before that if you want to achieve a great cause, you need to prepare early among your relatives and promote useful people. Now your Liu family
Only Dao Gui was available. Originally Huai Su was also a rare warrior, but unfortunately he died young. Of his two younger brothers, Liu Huaishen was still useful, but Liu Huaijing, like Dao Lian, was ignorant and weak, and even came out to do it.
Officials will always harm the people, so it’s best not to forcefully give them wealth and honor. It’s not good for you, them, or the people of Jin Dynasty.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I can put Dao Lian away, but Huai Jing, alas, you have to know how he became so stupid. It was because my aunt cut off Huai Jing's milk when I was a child.
Instead of milk, feed him porridge. His brain has not developed well since he was a child, so he is like this. When I become rich, I will give him a job as a county guard or something like that, just to compensate my aunt."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Jinnu, I have to advise you, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You used to hate it the most when a large family only relied on the merits of their predecessors and ancestors to let a large number of incompetent sons and nephews do it."
Occupy official positions, abuse the people, and don't live like the kind of person you once hated most, otherwise all your orders in the future will no longer be convincing."
Liu Yu said seriously: "What you said is very correct. I will keep it in mind. Even if I am appointed as a county guard to Huai Jing in the future, it will only be in name only and he will not be allowed to take office. Local government affairs will be handled by smart and capable officials.
If it weren't for the fact that they really don't have the ability to do military service with them, I wouldn't have arranged it like this."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "In your biological mother's and adoptive mother's homes, your uncle Zhao Lunzhi is a talented official and can also lead troops. Let him serve as the prefect of a county or lead an army of three to five thousand troops. There is no problem."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "My uncle is now the chief historian of Jingkou County, assisting the governor of South Xuzhou, that is, me. When I am away, he and Liu Yi's uncle Zheng Xianzhi are in charge of Jingkou. Although this official position is
It’s not high, but it’s very important, because the family members of the Beifu Army are all in Jingkou. Whoever controls this place will control the fate of the Beifu Army. I can’t let him follow him to do military exploits this time, but he will definitely do it in the future.
Give him a chance to make amends."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "There is another person, a very outstanding person among your relatives, who can also help immediately. You must have realized it."
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows: "You mean, my son-in-law, Kui Zhi?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, Kui Zhi has been very alert since he was a child. He has also been growing up in the Beifu military camp. He is familiar with the art of war, good at riding and shooting, and has good martial arts. In recent years, he has been trained by his father to handle official documents.
This can be said to be both civil and military. If you don’t have a son now, then this son-in-law will be of great help to you in the future."
Liu Yu said seriously: "This kid Kui Zhi is indeed good. I am also very optimistic about him, not only because of my son-in-law, but because of his talents at this age, which are very similar to Taoist regulations. Now Taofu is what I can really do."
I am completely dependent on my right-hand man who can do his own thing. If Kui Zhi can have his talent, then I have nothing to worry about."
Wang Miaoyin curled up her lips: "However, Brother Yu, I still say the same old saying, you have to establish your own hegemony, and one day you can get rid of all constraints and truly do whatever you want. No matter how many nephews and relatives you have, you still can't do it without your own son.
A son is not only the continuation of a person's bloodline, but also must inherit the policies of his father and ancestors out of filial piety. If you really want to realize your ideal, I am afraid it will take several generations, or even more than a dozen generations, to work hard.
Okay, now that you are over forty, if you don’t get a few sons and raise them from scratch, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Liu Yu's eyes were shining brightly. He looked at Wang Miaoyin and said seriously: "If you want to have a son, you must first have a wife. Alan is still in Nanyan now. If I don't take her back, how can I arrange these things? My wife is not here, so I want to marry her."
If I give birth to a son, then people in the world will think that I, Liu Yu, will be a lustful person who always abandons me."
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "Murong Lan is not suitable to be your wife. Although she was granted marriage by the late emperor, everything has changed since she abandoned her husband and son and returned to the enemy's country. If you
If you attack Nan Yan according to your idea, the best outcome for Murong Lan is that she will become a princess who has lost her country. Originally, according to the laws of Jin, she needs to be punished as a slave. Even if she is pardoned and given to you in the form of a reward, it is unlikely that she will become the head wife.
, unless you really don’t care about your reputation and future dominance.”
Liu Yu said loudly: "Anyway, Alan is my wife, the only wife so far. I, Liu Yu, have grown from a small soldier to today step by step. She has made a huge sacrifice, even if she has been blackmailed by that person.
She is under the control of the robe, but I believe there are reasons for it, and so far, she has not harmed me. This time I went to the north to save her. I don’t need anyone to forgive her, and I don’t care what others do.
Look at me, if a man can’t even protect his wife, what kind of image and prestige will he have?”
Having said this, Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin and said seriously: "Miaoyin, in my heart in this life, there are only Murong Lan and you. I don't care about other women, and I don't have to be like the emperors, generals and ministers to have children and grandchildren.
The hall is full and the branches are spreading. As long as what I do in my life is for the common people of the world and the benefit of the people, the common people of the world will all be my sons and inherit my ideals. They will strive for a heavenly dynasty from generation to generation.
Why do we have to get married and have children? Miaoyin, are you willing to help me rescue Alan?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed faintly: "I know what I say now, you can't listen to it, but to fight against such a terrible opponent like Heipao, you can't just rely on blood and ideals. This time I will go with you to save him."
Murong Lan, but I also hope that after you come back, you can marry into a high-ranking family and have children. Only in this way is the only choice for you to have a successor to your hegemony."
