Chapter 4917: Sending a slave must take the imperial path
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yu Gong, there is no need for us to have these false politenesses, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here talking about these serious matters. Our Tao family is indeed more than one level behind your Yu family, even if it is
In the time of our ancestor Kan Gong, we were not as good as the Yu family. After all, we are from a foreign tribe, barbarians, and the Yu family was a wealthy family in Yingchuan before they crossed south."
"However, these family backgrounds and the status of our ancestors belong to our predecessors, not our own. I think the rise and fall of a family mainly depends on the struggle of these two generations. The accumulation of our predecessors is hard-earned. As descendants, we have to find a way
Carry it forward and not insult our ancestors, instead of just resting on our ancestors' merits and resting on nothing. Just like our two families now, the situation is not good, but we are not willing to accept this situation. We want to fight.
This is also the reason why we can sit together now, right, Mr. Yu."
Yu Yue nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Tao is willing to help me, especially when he helped me when I was in such a downturn. But my great benefactor, Yu Yue, how could I not repay you in the future?"
But, do we really want to help Liu Yu succeed in his Northern Expedition?"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Liu Yu is actually kind to you, Duke Yu. He protected you in front of Liu Yi, and took you to fight in the north and south, so that you, Duke Yu, won a lot of military honors. You are not ready to repay the favor."
?”
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "He was very good to me in the past, and I was really grateful to him, so I always supported him when he went to war, and even accompanied him personally. In fact, I didn't need to go there myself, and only sent some nephews.
It's enough for the seniors to go there with provisions and young men. I go there myself as the head of the Yu family and take the lead in supporting Liu Yu's great cause of the Northern Expedition. This is my gratitude to him."
"Including this time, I provided food and troops, and personally led the team to fight against the demon thief of Tianshi Dao. The demon thief started to rise because he failed to eliminate the evil and led the troops in the Northern Expedition, which gave the demon thief some credibility.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is not an exaggeration to say that I handled the aftermath for him. After Liu Yi's defeat, the entire central part of the Jin Dynasty fell. All the armies were defeated or surrendered. Only I took three thousand servants and moved to fight near Jiangzhou.
One year, yes, I admit that I am not good at running the army and have no morale in the army, but this is not what Liu Daogui can do to insult me like this, seize my subordinates in front of my soldiers, and almost deport me to Jiangling and imprison me.
reason."
"I, Yu Yue, have never suffered such humiliation since I was born. Now even if I return to Jiankang, I will become the laughing stock of the world. Other high-ranking families will add insult to injury and seize the Yu family's property. These...
It’s all Liu Daogui’s fault! What’s left between me and brother Liu Yu now is no grudge, only hatred!”
Having said this, Yu Yue almost gritted his teeth and punched the wooden board of the toilet so hard that it almost shook the wooden board. This was far beyond his usual strength. If he hadn't been extremely angry, he would have
How could there be such an explosion?
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Yu Gong, please be patient. I just asked casually. Don't be so angry. However, now I understand your attitude towards Liu Yu. Although Liu Daogui did not necessarily do what Liu Daogui did.
But he abused his power, took away your subordinates, and didn't even give you any face. It was too much. Liu Yu would never convict Liu Daogui for you afterwards. Now Liu Daogui is seriously injured and dying. If you do it in the future,
If you want revenge, you probably have to go after Zhu Chaoshi. Do you think Liu Yu will punish Zhu Chaoshi for you?"
Yu Yue said bitterly: "It's impossible. These two boys from the Zhu family are Liu Yu's favorite generals. When they heard that Zhu Chaoshi was trapped in the Tianshi Taoist army and everyone in the world thought he was a traitor, they marched south.
All the generals in the Yan army asked Liu Yu to kill or at least imprison Zhu Lingshi, but Liu Yu actually defied the opinions of so many people, ignored the national law, pardoned Zhu Lingshi, and gave him command of the army. Such trust
, is something I never dared to dream about, not to mention Zhu Chaoshi won the battle after seizing my army, how could Liu Yu punish his beloved general for me?"
Having said this, Yu Yue stomped her feet bitterly: "Birds of a feather flock together, after all, we are not from the same group as Liu Yu. He will only regard Qiu Ba as his brother and subordinate. Only military men are the ones he truly trusts and wants to protect. As for us
These aristocratic families and noble families are just the targets he wants to take advantage of. He is polite on the surface, but deep down he wants to get rid of us people, because only if our noble families are gone, he will have more land.
The manor and its population can be used to reward his tiger and wolf subordinates, I understand this!"
Tao Yuanming nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. It is really a blessing for our nobles that Yu Gong has such an understanding. To be honest, the army of the Jin Dynasty has not been effective for many years, especially because it can't find a way to deal with the Hulu cavalry in the north, so
They had no choice but to rely on these warriors to protect their families and the country. As a result, they first created the Huan family, a powerful Jingzhou vassal town, and then the Xie family tried to use the Beifu army to strengthen their position.
After Huan Chu usurped the throne, one of them created the monster Beifu Army, which was too big to lose. In turn, he wanted to wipe out all the noble families in the world, because as long as we are here, the country of Jin will be stable, and we want to have an unfair share.
If you think about it, those who change their ways will not succeed."
Yu Yue nodded, suddenly thought of something, and frowned: "Mr. Tao, do you think Liu Yu really has the intention to usurp the throne? I'm still a little confused, he doesn't seem to have a strong desire for power.
People, even if they are not emperors, can still keep their word, so why do they have to bear this kind of infamy?"
Tao Yuanming sighed: "Because without the emperor's power of life and death, Liu Yu's approach of almost changing the fundamental system of the world would be difficult to carry out. Just like what happened this time, because he is not the emperor, no matter what
Whether to guard the country or to allocate subsequent military rations and resources can only be discussed with the brothers or the aristocratic family. Even the troops, horses, money and food of yours, Mr. Yu, belong to your Yu family. If Liu Yu were not the emperor,
, you have no right to ask your Yu family to send out one soldier, one soldier, one grain and one armor. Because you have already paid taxes according to the court's legal system, you don't have to do anything else."
"But if Liu Yu wants to make the Northern Expedition and achieve his achievements, he must concentrate the entire country's resources in his own hands. It is an order, not asking for help from others. This incident will strengthen his understanding of this.
, and it is obvious that he is now starting to take in more concubines and have children. This is obviously making final preparations to replace him with Da Jin!" ()
