Chapter 4901: A detailed account of Tao Yus ancestral love
Yu Yue gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since I have chosen to prosper the Yu family, I gave up the superior life in my hometown and the capital, and came to this dangerous battlefield filled with murderous intent, I have already put my life and death at risk.
How can I covet the life of a rich man when I am living abroad? This Jingzhou is the place where our ancestors of the Yu family built their fortunes. If I can revive the Yu family here, I will be able to do so.
Reviving my personal reputation is really destined by God. Now that the opportunity has come, how can I give up?"
Having said this, Yu Yue looked at Wen Bai and said seriously: "Where is this person now? I will go over to see him. However, you must protect my safety and not be used by traitors."
Wen Bai smiled slightly: "Now, please, my lord, follow me to change clothes. We will go out to see him right away."
Yu Yue frowned: "We went to see him? Although I have been released from house arrest now, there will still be spies from the governor's office staring at me. If I am absent for a long time, won't it arouse people's suspicion?"
Wen Bai shook his head confidently: "I will arrange this, lord, now please follow me to change clothes."
Yu Yue nodded and followed Wen Bai out, walking around and around in the backyard of the post house, and finally entered the dry toilet in the backyard. A stench hit his face, and Yu Yue
Yue frowned instinctively. Every time he went to the toilet, he was served by servants. He used a special scented sandalwood toilet. But this was the first time he had entered such a public toilet. He was about to ask questions.
, only to see a man standing in a pit inside, wearing the same clothes as him, even the face and hairstyle were exactly the same as himself, and he actually looked like himself in the mirror.
Yu Yue was startled. Just when he was about to say something, Wen Bai gently shook his head at him and made an inviting gesture to the toilet again. The man in the toilet was almost the same as him.
The person who wanted to be the one wiped it on his face, and his fair face appeared in front of Yu Yue. He saluted him and said in a low voice: "Little Maodan, I am the tofu skin."
Yu Yue understood immediately. He looked at "Wen Bai" on the side and gritted his teeth: "I understand, the one inside is Wen Bai, and you are the one who wants to see me."
"Wen Bai" smiled slightly and touched his face: "If Mr. Wen Bai hadn't helped, how could we have facilitated this meeting? Don't worry, Mr. Yu, everything around here has been cleaned up. Wang Zhenzhi's informants
If we can't get to this place, it's absolutely safe for us to talk inside, but the time is limited, and if it goes too long, it will arouse people's suspicion."
The real Wen Bai also said in a deep voice: "Lord, there is no need to doubt this gentleman. What he just said to you is also my heartfelt wish. This is the last chance to revitalize the Yu family."
Yu Yue nodded and strode into the toilet, while Wen Bai put on his mask and walked out slowly. Soon, his figure disappeared at the small door of the backyard.
The fake "Wen Bai" walked into the toilet, magically took out an incense burner from his sleeves, and lit a fire. Soon, sandalwood was curling up, and the entire toilet was filled with a hazy cigarette smoke.
Yu Yue looked at his face and said in a deep voice: "When you get here, you should have revealed your true face in Lushan."
The fake "Wen Bai" nodded, reached out and flicked his face, and the human skin mask fell off, and Tao Yuanming's dark and gloomy face appeared in front of Yu Yue. Yu Yue was shocked
His eyes widened: "It's you, Tao, Mr. Tao?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, it's unexpected, Mr. Yu, that we will meet in this place and in this way, just like the ancestors of our two families met under similar circumstances decades ago.
Yes, but I heard from my lord that the meeting was in a military camp, and of course it was a confidential conversation."
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "I remembered that when my ancestors were guarding Jingzhou, they took over the official seal of your family, Tao Gong, the governor of Jingzhou. My elders also said that the Tao family has a strong power in Jingzhou. Although
For a while, it declined due to unworthy descendants and internal fighting within the family, but there will always be a time to rise again in the future. When Mr. Tao just came to Jiankang as a famous scholar, I also talked with Mrs. Xie and lamented that the Tao family has a descendant.
, but why have you never come to me for so many years?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "In the years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the governors and vassal towns in various places were like princes, separatist. Often either the governors of these vassal towns sent troops to Beijing to seize power, or the central government sent troops to cut down the vassal and pacify the place. My ancestor Kan Gong
Although he was the governor of Jingzhou, he was loyal to the imperial court. He sent troops to quell the Su Junzu Rebellion and saved your Yu family, who were directly targeted by the two rebels when they raised their troops. Later, Kan Gong died in the officialdom.
When he took office, it was also the Yu family who came to take over the charge of the Jingzhou governor."
Yu Yue laughed: "Yes, our Yu family reciprocated the favor at that time and did not carry out a comprehensive purge of the former governor's influence like other places. Although Kan Gong left in a hurry at that time and did not arrange family affairs well, resulting in quarrels between his sons and nephews.
But our elders did not take the opportunity to seize the Tao family's property in Jingzhou, especially your people in the mountains. We never levy taxes casually. This is all to respect and repay your gratitude to the Tao family. Later, the Huan family took away our
After Yu's establishment of Jingzhou, your life will not be easy."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, our Tao family has an ancestral motto. We must remember the kindness of the Yu family back then, and repay it if we have the opportunity in the future. When I came to Beijing alone, I was just a poor scholar, and you
No matter how much Yu Gong's family fell into decline, he was still a powerful and top-notch family in Wu. If I came to you at that time, it would appear that I, Tao Yuanming, wanted to cling to you, Yu Gong. I'm afraid that in that case, Yu Gong, you wouldn't have put me in your place.
In my eyes, the most I can do is just casually recommend an idle civil servant like a minister and settle things down."
Yu Yue smiled awkwardly: "Well, maybe, I didn't know about Tao Gong's ability at that time. You also know that scholars from all over the world come to us, the children of aristocratic families, every day to seek friendship and friendship.
, too many, and we don’t know whether he has real talent or knowledge. If I had known, I wouldn’t have offended Liu Yi before, so much so.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yes, during the first hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, high-ranking families have monopolized upper-level power, especially the power of employment and recommendation, and gradually lost the process of producing talents in troubled times. This is something we need to learn from.
, However, as the head of a large family, Yu Gong can still go out in person to fight. This determination alone is worth my coming to meet you today. This is by no means a compliment!" ()
