Yu Yue curled up her lips: "Let's not talk about what will happen to this Luo Longsheng after he arrives. I just want to ask, why doesn't Tao Gong accept this Luo Longsheng himself and let him work for you? Why do you need to send this person to you?
Turn to me."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Because my current status is not enough for any military general to defect to him, I just mentioned that when I was in Jiankang City, I proposed to negotiate peace with the Later Qin Dynasty, and sent Liu Yu to Qingzhou to prevent him from coming back, thus clearing the way for the peace negotiation.
Road, but Liu Yu suddenly arrived and debated with me in court, saying that the Later Qin was a country of tigers and wolves and colluded with the Tiandao Alliance. It must not be believed. And if the conditions of the Later Qin were accepted, Sima Guofan and Sima Chu
His return to power was a sign of forgiveness and tolerance for the traitors, and the majesty of the Jin Dynasty was wiped out."
"Although Liu Muzhi was not present, Liu Yu seemed to have gained his wisdom and argued with me a lot. I thought I was so eloquent, but I didn't say anything about Liu Yu. I am really ashamed."
Yu Yue laughed: "Speaking of this, you haven't explained just now why you attacked Liu Muzhi in public after you went to the Later Qin Dynasty, and resigned from your post at his family banquet. And then you
And how come the relationship with Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi became more and more tense and became irreversible in the end."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "Because Liu Muzhi's banquet was to take revenge on the Jiang family, especially his brother-in-law, who had discriminated against him. In the past, when Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu attended the Jiang family's banquet, he was greedy for eating.
, but because the family was poor and had no money, it was rare for them to have a big meal. Just like a starving ghost reincarnated, the Jiang family felt that they had lost face and kept suppressing their anger. After eating, Liu Muzhi wanted to eat betel nuts.
, took the initiative to ask for it, but his brother-in-law said, "Liu Muzhi, you usually eat so much that you are not full, so what do you do with the betel nut that is used to digest food?"
Yu Yue's expression became serious: "I have heard about this betel nut humiliation. I have been thinking that if I were Liu Muzhi, I would be so angry that I would fight with my brother-in-law on the spot. In the end, Liu Yuwei
Liu Muzhi resolved the siege, saying that after joining the army and serving the country, he would gain fame for himself. It was precisely because of this that Liu Muzhi followed Liu Yu with all his heart."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, that was the case at the time. However, after Liu Muzhi gained power, he asked the Jiang family to attend the banquet to celebrate his promotion. I knew that Liu Muzhi would be at this banquet.
Severely retaliate and humiliate his brother-in-law. The reason why I chose to break with Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi at this time is to warn them that the dignity of scholars cannot be humiliated, and infighting and mutual humiliation between scholars will only
Let these rude soldiers and low-class bastards laugh."
Yu Yue sighed: "In the end, Liu Muzhi still left some leeway. He just gave the Jiang brothers a large plate of betel nuts and didn't really do anything to them. He only gave himself a sigh of relief and was merciful. This matter was handled well.
It’s very beautiful, I’m deeply impressed.”
Tao Yuanming sneered: "However, I had already planned to make trouble at this banquet. In addition to warning Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi that they, the newly powerful military group, should not despise us nobles, it was also because there were so many people attending the banquet.
, whether they are nobles or Qiu Ba, almost all the prominent figures are there, I remember you were also present at that time, Duke Yu."
Yu Yue laughed: "Yeah, how could I not attend this banquet? I remember that you were holding the envoy to the Later Qin Dynasty, and directly announced at the banquet that you were resigning from your post in Liu Yu's shogunate and returning to the shogunate.
In my hometown, Liu Yu should pay attention to people's livelihood and not fight for years."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, this is how I want to warn Liu Yu. Don't use the name of righteousness as a reason and excuse for him to launch a war. The world is governed by benevolence rather than force. I
I just went on a mission to the Later Qin Dynasty and returned to twelve counties. I have made great contributions to the country. The poor livelihood of the people I saw along the way gave me the confidence to say these words. Therefore, I thought that the people would ask for orders and resign from office and go into seclusion.
In this way, I won people's livelihood for myself, and also gave me the opportunity to escape from Liu Yu, because I really didn't want to serve him, lest when I overthrow him in the future, others would say that I was biting back on my benefactor.
"
Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming curled up his lips: "Actually, I temporarily worked for Liu Yu and had a name in his shogunate because I was under Huan Xuan before and even entered the capital. It was easy for others to think that I was Huan.
Our old party, if we don’t serve the country and do something, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to retreat unscathed.”
Yu Yue laughed: "It's Mr. Tao that you have something to do. I didn't expect so much at the time. I just thought that you went to an enemy country, made great achievements and came back with great achievements. It seems that you don't want to join Liu Yu's Jingba."
Group, or in other words, not optimistic about their future. This is seeking fame rather than pursuing immediate benefits. Among us scholars, this is a noble and honorable move. On the contrary, it seems that people like Liu Muzhi and Meng Chang are fighting for fame.
A profiteer."
Having said this, Yu Yue sighed: "It's a pity that in this world, these people who are striving for fame and wealth have always succeeded, and those of us who guard the way of the gentry have to step aside more and more. So, military power is everything
, only by mastering this can we truly master the power in the world. I understand how your Tao Gong offended Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi. Later I heard that many folk songs about the suffering of people's livelihood appeared in various places, Jiangbei Liu
Influenced by these folk songs, no one in the county is willing to move there. This must be your handiwork, Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yes, I have no way to directly fight against Liu Yu's army, and I can only use this method to manipulate and control public opinion. The land of Jiangbei is what Liu Yu wants to run after Jianyi
I wanted to use this place as a base to advance and attack Nanyan, so I settled here to immigrate and train troops. I couldn't let him succeed so easily, so I sent people to spread a lot of rumors, saying that it was Jiangbei.
Once the land is rich, the Yan State will definitely send troops southward, and then everyone here will die without a burial place. These rumors were very effective for a time, but then Liu Muzhi started to investigate, so I could only stop spreading these rumors and return to
When we get to Jingzhou, we will try to move forward later."
Yu Yue's brows furrowed: "But Nan Yan later really raised troops to go south and plundered the north of the Yangtze River. Does this have anything to do with you? Are you, Murong Chui, and the Tiandao Alliance related?"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "If I had the help of the Tiandao Alliance, why would I want to spread rumors? Just ask Murong Chui to raise troops to fight. Wouldn't the plunder of people, food and grass be even more?" ()
