Yu Yue's brows widened: "It's amazing that you can actually describe this as retribution in this world. However, according to Confucianism, this is called telepathy from heaven and man. If a king or an important minister does a great evil that makes people angry and resentful,
If something happens, then God will send disasters. Although this is not a Buddhist saying, it is what we Han people in the Central Plains believe more."
Having said this, Yu Yue paused: "Do you still remember what happened before and after Huan Xuan usurped the throne? Before he usurped the throne, flatterers from all over the country would do all kinds of auspicious and beautiful things, saying that this was the birth of a saint, and the river banquet was clear.
Or something, but everyone knows that this is a lie. It is just an attempt to please Huan Xuan and get himself promoted and make a fortune. If Liu Yu wanted to stand on his own feet today, it would have been the same result. Maybe
Even I want to find some auspiciousness."
Speaking of this, Yu Yue sneered: "It's just that Huan Xuan went against the grain and massacred the former Beifu Army generals. He also robbed the property of major families, made the people pay heavy taxes, and made Jingzhou sergeants fight in Wudi and
Yangzhou committed evil everywhere, causing public resentment. Finally, the Yangtze River flooded, flooding Jiankang and killing tens of thousands of people. Isn't this a disaster sent from heaven to punish and warn these human tyrants? If there hadn't been this flood
, I’m afraid even if Liu Yu raises troops, there won’t be so many people responding quickly.”
The black robe nodded: "What you said makes sense. The idea of induction between heaven and man is used to restrain the kings of the world from misbehaving. Like the theory of the replacement of the five elements, it is a theory invented for the replacement of dynasties and the establishment of a new regime. After all,
, Confucianism pays attention to strict hierarchy and does not allow self-reliance across one's own class. However, if God is angry and wants to replace the emperor and change the rulers of the world, then he is accepting orders from heaven and not being disloyal to his ministers.
It’s just that Buddhism seems to be better in this regard.”
Yu Yue had been stroking his long beard proudly. When he heard this, his face changed slightly: "How come you are better? You originally said that Buddhism talks about retribution in the next life, but this time the retribution in this life is actually
It’s inconsistent with their own propaganda. Are they trying to say that Liu Yu’s sin was too serious, so he just let this life bring him retribution?”
The black robe smiled slightly: "Yes, if the people of the Jin Dynasty knew that Liu Yi was defeated and the Tianshi Tao army was going to take Jiankang directly, they would be very scared, especially the people of Wu, who had experienced the Tianshi Dao
The suffering of Shidao's last rebellion made them frightened. The only thing they could think of and hope for was the return of Liu Yu's army to conquer Yan. However, because Liu Yu had committed too many evil deeds, the army was infected with the plague. This is the retribution in this world.
"
Yu Yue frowned: "Liu Yu attacked Nanyan and avenged the barbarians who occupied my land and killed my Han people. He only killed the Murong clan and did not hurt innocent people. How can this be?
What about doing evil? If you don’t even believe me, how can you let the people in the world believe that Liu Yu did evil?"
The black robe said sternly: "Liu Yu has done too many evil deeds. Mr. Yu, have you followed him for a long time? You have not regarded him as an enemy, nor have you thought about ruining his reputation or causing trouble for him."
Woolen cloth?"
Yu Yue's face turned slightly red: "Maybe there is a situation like what you said, but I followed the army all the way during the Northern Expedition, and it was true that Qiu did not make any mistakes wherever I went. Although the siege of Guanggu took a little longer, the final attack
There was a lot of casualties in the city, but this was a just battle to defeat injustice under the orders of the emperor and to save the Han people under the rule of the Hulu, so it cannot be related to the great evil."
The black robe said coldly: "The biggest evil thing Liu Yu did was to start a war indiscriminately and cause the lives of the two countries to be devastated. Have you forgotten? Just because Nan Yan carried out a small-scale robbery to the south and robbed two
About a thousand people left, and Liu Yu forcibly dispatched a large army to carry out a conquest despite the opposition of almost all officials, both civil and military. Is this enough to be called a great evil? "
Not to be outdone, Yu Yue replied: "What's so evil about this? It was Nan Yan who broke the peace agreement between the two countries first, sent troops to kill my soldiers and captured my people. Could it be that Liu Yu, as a general, should do nothing if he was beaten like this?
?The main reason why the imperial court opposed sending troops was because they were afraid that the Yan State’s soldiers and horses were strong and that we could not fight in the Northern Expedition, not that this battle should not be fought.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "Can a war to destroy the country be the same as sending troops to take revenge? Nan Yan sent troops to capture two thousand people, so you can take revenge and rob the people of their Shannan prefecture and take back a thousand or eight hundred people, no?
Is that enough? As for this kind of war to destroy the country, causing millions of lives in the two countries to be devastated and plunged into the flames of war? And, have the last two thousand people been saved?"
Yu Yue sighed: "No, these two thousand people were killed by the barbarians of Nanyan to vent their anger. If you put it this way, Liu Yu did use the blood and lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from both countries to achieve his achievements.
His merits. If you say this is a great evil, it can barely be regarded as it."
The black robe nodded: "This is just the first one. In fact, Liu Yu's wife Murong Lan has been committed to him for many years and has experienced many storms with him. She should cherish this relationship. As a result, Murong Lan wanted to prevent the war.
, was forced to leave Liu Yu and return to Nanyan. Even before sending troops, he should find a way to negotiate with Nanyan through Murong Lan and force them to return the kidnapped Jin people. Even if Murong Chao and Heipao were unwilling, at least
You should also give it a try. This is called courtesy first and then attack, and it is also the rule of the Central Plains."
Yu Yue smiled and said: "That's true. No one mentioned this at the time. Liu Yu said that Nan Yan took the initiative to tear up the peace agreement and no longer had to deal with anything. He just sent troops directly. In fact, at the beginning we thought he was just using the Beifu in his hands.
The soldiers and horses of the army in Yangzhou will attack the border of Nanyan in retaliation, and at most they will capture the territory south of Daxian Mountain."
"But we didn't expect that he actually dispatched almost all the mobile troops of the Jin Dynasty, and asked the Wu family to provide food and soldiers, and even used the guards and horses. He was fighting a war to destroy the country. No wonder even Murong Murong
Landu eventually turned against him and fought with each other. Hehe, it is really a great evil to abandon the family and the country for the sake of one's own selfish interests."
The black robe laughed: "Yes, so Murong Lan's death in the end was also retribution for Liu Yu. In order to covet his fame, he took all his wives with him. During the Warring States Period, Le Yangzi was also attacking and destroying Liu Yu.
During the Zhongshan Kingdom, his son, who was an official in the Zhongshan Kingdom, was directly cooked into meat soup. Therefore, although Leyangzi made great achievements, he was also criticized by the world. What Liu Yu did, destroying the enemy's country and forcing his wife to death,
