Yu Yue said hurriedly: "Brother Mu, you are worrying too much. Mr. Tao is devoted to the country and will never..."
Liu Muzhi waved his hand calmly and interrupted Yu Yue's words directly: "Please don't vouch for people you are not familiar with and understand, Mr. Yu. People who are dedicated to serving the country will know what the Black Hand Qiankun is like."
organization, but it was still resurrected and restarted? Will he liaise with the Later Qin Dynasty, expel and exile the generals who have rebuilt the Jin Dynasty, and have made great achievements in the war for many years, in exchange for the country of tigers and wolves sending troops to help? Will those who are dedicated to the country?
Rather than letting your Yu family army be taken over by the generals of the country, will it fall into the hands of his own countrymen?"
Yu Yue was speechless and could not refute a single word, while Tao Yuanming said coldly: "Brother Mu, are you questioning my loyalty to the Jin Dynasty? Are you loyal to the ancestral system of the Jin Dynasty and insisting on this family?"
In the world, the system in which the gentry holds power is treason and surrender to the enemy?"
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "Whether you insist on the family and the world is just what you say. Your actions cannot support your statement. You went to borrow troops from the Qin State to welcome the return of the Sima clan traitors who had rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy.
We want to expel the leader of the Beifu Army, Liu Yu and others who restored the Jin Dynasty, to the border and are not allowed to return to the court. Isn't this treason and surrender to the enemy?"
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "Support a puppet emperor who can't speak and is a walking corpse, let his old friend, who is engaged to her, command the world as a queen, change the ancestral system, not recognize the land deeds since the Yuan Emperor, and deprive the nobles of their inherent rights."
Power, demoted their titles, promoted sergeants who had committed murder and meritorious service as officials and officials, replaced the nobles, and forced the Sima clan to suffer national calamity and find it difficult to find a home. They could only flee to the enemy country to seek asylum, but they completely ignored that of course they were also from the so-called
The enemy country returned and even married the princess of the enemy country. Liu Muzhi, even if you kill me today, I will not take back these words. Whether you are loyal or traitorous has been determined through the ages, and it is not decided by those in power.
With a knife, you can force someone to change their story."
Yu Yue was so anxious that he jumped up from the futon, stretched out his hand to take Liu Muzhi's hand, and said urgently: "Mr. Tao, be careful with your words, be careful with your words, brother Mu is..."
Tao Yuanming shook off Yu Yue's hand and said loudly: "Mr. Yu, you are afraid of Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, but I am not afraid. Your Yu family has a big business, so you have to consider the family business. I, Tao Yuanming, am not a direct descendant of the Tao family.
Even if the whole family was killed, it would not be a shame, nor would the Tao family be extinct. At that time, Dong Shigong, the historian of Qi State, and his family were outspoken, fearless of life and death, and left a reputation for eternity. I, Tao Yuanming, have read the books of sages since I was a child.
, are you not as good as the ancients? Liu Muzhi, if you want to be Cui Zhu who slaughtered Zhongliang, just do it, I am not afraid of death!"
Liu Muzhi quietly watched Tao Yuanming's fierce performance. Finally, he suddenly laughed, and clapped his hands while laughing: "Just now you said that I was clear about Xuan Li's harm. In fact, the real great one is you, Mr. Tao.
Ah, you are the only one who speaks so righteously and yet is well-founded. If I were in your position, I might not be able to say what I just said."
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Kill if you want, why bother to say more. Since your brother Mu wants to say that I am a traitor and a traitor, then just take me down. This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with Yu Gong. You
Just don’t take the opportunity to frame the Yu family. My relationship with Yu Gong is limited to some connections from the previous days of Black Hand Qiankun. There is no other relationship. This meeting is just a coincidence and we want to cooperate with each other. If you want to kill
I alone can destroy the hearts of all the scholars in the world, and make you and Marshal Liu become lonely and deserted, so just kill me."
As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and looked like he had no love for life and was ready to be killed. Yu Yue on the side also sighed and could only sit back in his seat and looked at Liu
Mu Zhi's eyes were full of begging for mercy.
Liu Muzhi looked calm. In fact, Tao Yuanming's rebuttal had been expected by him. In any case, Liu Yu once traveled to the grasslands, married Murong Lan, and was accused of being a traitor.
Everyone knows that Tao Yuanming changed his mind and tried to abolish the privileges of the gentry. It is inevitable that Tao Yuanming specifically singles out Liu Yu's black spots for attack. This is also the best way to avoid his own weaknesses. In the end,
That is to say that he was punished according to the law for his crimes and that he was a treasonous person who committed the same crime. The retaliation against him can confuse those uninformed outsiders.
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Mr. Tao, we don't need to argue here, just like we did to the aristocratic family in Wu and the high family of Jiankang. I know clearly that they have done all kinds of things that are harmful to nature and are worthy of being the biggest moth in the country. But
We still have to cooperate with them because we hold the power of the country and the decisions we make affect the lives of millions of people in the world. We cannot decide these policies based on our own ideals. When necessary, we must compromise and make concessions."
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Your compromise is just to buy time. First, stabilize the high-ranking families and the powerful landlords who are dependent on them to cooperate with you, and then wait for your official school to start operating.
Enough officials can go to the countryside to govern and control the countryside, or assist the veterans who have returned to their hometowns to suppress the local powerful. This is the time for you to replace the aristocratic family world with the lower class scholars or even the poor and grassroots.
.”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You said we are buying time, but why are you not doing the same? You are also waiting for Marshal Liu, waiting for me, waiting for those in power who want to achieve equality for everyone and turn the grassroots up, or
Old or dead, you are waiting for the new people in power to compromise with the aristocratic families and nobles again, and return to the time when the nobles had all the power. You are waiting for your private army to be trained into a truly elite army after war, just like
Just like the Beifu Army, they are waiting for their nephew to accumulate merit and gain a title, take control of a large state, and regain power from the Eighth Party in Beijing, right?"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Yes, you are right, this is called game, this is called betting. You think these officials will fight for your ideal of equality for everyone in the future, but we think that human nature
They are greedy. What they want is glory and wealth instead of working hard for the happiness of others. Therefore, I am not in a hurry. Even if you do not approve Yu Gong’s army to be controlled by Luo Longsheng this time, countless Luo Longsheng will be born in the future.
Even a great talent like you can't see what kind of heart is underneath those submissive exteriors of those who are in charge of the military and power. But this time, we have lost our cooperation with the aristocratic families. Those big families are carving up the Yu family.
After that, I still won’t cooperate with you again. When the time comes, I’ll see how you and your General Liu go to the countryside with their armies and wipe out those aristocratic families that have been entrenched in Wu for hundreds of years one by one!” ()
