Chapter 442: The undercurrent of struggle between aristocratic families
When Murong Lan said this, she closed her eyes in pain. That incident was the most terrifying memory in her life and she could not bear to look back.
As early as she could remember, her father Murong Huang personally gave her a little rabbit. She kept it for more than a year. Until the summer when she was more than three years old, her father and mother forced her to kill the little rabbit.
Little rabbit.
She still remembered that when she cried and stabbed the knife into the rabbit's body, the little white life was struggling painfully, and the eyes looking at her were full of despair, just like Liu Yu looked at herself that day, and she was
My whole heart was about to break. I vaguely remembered a voice echoing in my ears: "Cold-blooded and ruthless, you are the son and daughter of my Murong family. Alan, from now on, you are truly a member of the Murong family!"
Murong Chui looked at Murong Lan and sighed softly: "We, the Murong family, have all come here. Those useless kindness and soft-heartedness will be ended by ourselves together with the little animals we raised when we were children.
, only by doing this can we survive in the cruel grassland outside the Great Wall. This is why our Murong family has been able to rise again after many ups and downs. Alan, now the Murong family has experienced the disaster of national subjugation, but has seen its rise again.
Hope, at this time, you must put the interests of the family first and not let your feelings get in the way!"
Murong Lan sighed softly: "The matter is over, I know what to do. Brother, let me ask you one last question, do you really have the idea of recruiting Liu Yu?"
Murong Chui did not answer immediately. He looked at Murong Lan motionlessly and straight into her eyes. After a long time, he slowly said: "Don't you want Liu Yu to join our Dayan?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "It's impossible. Liu Yu will only be loyal to the Jin State and the Han people. In his eyes, we are just alien beasts, and there is no way we can really interact with each other. Not to mention that this time we betrayed our alliance and lost it."
He finally gained some trust."
A smile appeared on Murong Chui's face: "That's because he still has hope and a place to stay in the Jin Dynasty, as well as his brothers from the Beifu Army and Xie An, Xie Xuan, people he respects, and even more so
Wang Miaoyin, a young lady from an aristocratic family who is engaged to him. If all these are gone, can he still stay in the Jin Dynasty?"
Murong Lan opened her eyes wide: "What? Brother, do you want to harm Liu Yu?"
Murong Chui laughed: "Harm him? No way! Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. How did my eldest brother get framed back then? It's hard to surrender to the country, and it's hard to repay the family. I don't want that kind of pain to happen to Liu Yu.
Because my good sister is attracted to him, how can I let my future brother-in-law suffer!"
Murong Lan's pink face turned red and she lowered her head: "Brother is teasing me again. Liu Yu already has a fiancée. We are the same enemies now. How can we have a future together?"
Murong Chui put away his smile and said seriously: "Sister, it all depends on people. The Xie family's willingness to marry Wang Miaoyin to Liu Yu is nothing more than an expedient measure in the face of national crisis. Don't forget, even if the Xie family intends to control the army through Liu Yu in the future
, but Wang Miaoyin’s surname is Wang after all.”
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Brother, you mean that the Langya Wang family might regret their marriage? No way."
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "Perhaps you have been staying in the army and have not paid attention to the movements of the higher-ups. Wang Miaoyin's father, Wang Ningzhi, has been hiding behind the scenes from the beginning, only letting the woman Xie Daoyun come forward, and he himself has not expressed his position for a long time.
One of the occurrences was when Liu Yu failed in his martial arts performance last time, he personally went to Guangling to take Wang Miaoyin home and confine him. Many people didn't notice this detail, but I captured some familiar information."
Murong Lan nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, Wang Ningzhi's family will not necessarily side with Xie An?"
Murong Chui said seriously: "Yes, the reason why the Wang family and the Xie family united in the past was because Xie An was at the top of his power and controlled the government with one hand. At that time, the Jin Emperor Sima Yao was still young, and all military and state affairs were decided by Xie An. But many years have passed,
Sima Yao has taken charge of the government, and everyone knows that he intends to regain the power he has lost for many years. If the Qin State had not invaded the south this time, I am afraid that the political struggle in the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have been a life-and-death struggle, and the Wang family might have terminated the peace with Xie
The marriage of family.”
Murong Lan shook her head in disbelief: "Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun have been married for many years. How can this marriage be broken off so easily? Even if Xie An hands over power and withdraws from the center of politics, he will not fall out."
Murong Chui sneered and said: "Didn't the marriage between the Xie family and Wang Yun's family break up because of changes in circumstances? Such alliances and marriages between aristocratic families are unstable, even if Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun are not
Divorce, at least in Wang Miaoyin's future life events, is a variable."
"If the war between Qin and Jin ends and Jin wins, then the first thing Sima Yao must do is not the Northern Expedition, but to find a way to take back military power from the Xie family. By then, the major families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty will have to face new challenges.
A round of taking sides and integrating. And Liu Yu and Wang Miaoyin may become the center of overt and covert struggles."
Murong Lan sighed: "No wonder eldest brother just said that Liu Yu might leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It turned out that he was considering the future political struggle of the Jin Dynasty. But Liu Yu's life was too bitter. The battlefield was a bloody battle with the enemy, and he had to face these things that he couldn't help.
Even imagining, there is no way to escape the dark fate, this man makes people feel heartbroken."
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "It's okay to feel bad, Alan, Liu Yu is a real hero, but the dark political environment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will harm him one day. Staying in the Jin Kingdom is not a good choice for him. Maybe,
In the future, when he is ostracized in the Jin Kingdom and unable to gain a foothold, the opportunity will come for you and me!"
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "I hope this day will never come. I would rather never see Liu Yu again in this life, and I don't want him to be hurt again. Wang Miaoyin is also a miserable and infatuated woman, and I also don't want her to be hurt.
.Brother, do you have other collaborators in Jin? Can you use your power to protect Liu Yu?"
Murong Chui shook his head: "Alan, don't say that I don't have this ability. Even if I do, I will not sacrifice Dayan's interests for Liu Yu. After the decisive battle between Qin and Jin, if everything goes as I think, our focus will be
It will fall on the restoration of Dayan, and you should put all your energy on this. Maybe you will fight for the revival of Murong Dayan in the north all your life, and you may not have the chance to see Liu Yu again, at least
