Liu Fan sneered: "Brother Jinu, it's not about whoever wants to go home or who loves power, but you have promoted her to an official and taken charge of the intelligence organization. In the future, according to your statement, this woman will be responsible for the entire northern Hulu territory, right?"
Liu Yu nodded: "We know almost nothing about the situation in the north now. When Murong Lan was still alive, I could still know a lot about this. Now, together with Murong Lan's former subordinates, they have all been handed over to Helanmin for the responsibility. After all, she has an irreconcilable hatred with the Northern Wei Dynasty. On this point, there is no need to doubt her motivation and enthusiasm."
Liu Fan curled his lips and said, "This is your decision. I won't express any opinions. But if you asked Helanmin to provide information about the North, you want us old brothers to hand over the army, hand over the territory, and go home to carry grandson. Is this appropriate? You value the surrender of the enemy country, but seize the power of the old brothers. Brother Jinu, can you explain to me, my elder brother, Huaiyu, and the Tie Niu brothers?"
Xiang Mi's face changed and she said, "Afan, don't talk nonsense, why not seize power? Just kid it if you go home and hold your grandson. Brother Jinu is for our good. In our grade, people must subdue the elderly and then charge us, so they can't fight. Are you willing to watch your subordinates rushing behind and hide behind as a Confucian general? In two years, when you really want to fight the Northern Expedition, how old are you and I, you can still ride horses, lift swords, and chop people?"
Liu Fan said coldly: "We can't ride a horse, carry a knife, or chop people. Can't we just need Brother Jinu? How many years older than us? You can retreat, everyone will retreat together. Anyway, the power is enough to be handed over to the newcomers. I think Wang Zhene is very suitable."
Meng Huaiyu sighed: "Brother Afan, don't do this. No matter how good the brotherhood is, there must be a limit. Brother Jinu and us are different. Even if you say these things, Brother Jinu is now in the commander of the central army. He is in charge of the overall situation. It is impossible to rush to the front with a knife like he did twenty years ago. However, Brother Jinu is the god of war in the entire army. The hope of the Jin army. With him, the morale of the military will be completely different. We will fight with Brother Jinu for a lifetime. Do you still understand this? All of us can withdraw, leave the army, and go home to become a rich man with high titles. But Brother Jinu cannot do it. The Great Jin cannot be without a day, and the Han people in the world cannot be without a day."
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Huaiyu, I'm so serious. I'm not that important, but you have a saying that is right. In this situation, I can't delegate power for the time being. I must be in this position. This is not to protect my power, wealth, or just for the Northern Expedition. In the final analysis, this is to protect your brothers' long-term wealth. A Fan, do you think that over the years, the eight brothers in Beijing in Beijing have taken over the years. Where did these power, wealth, and merits come from? Who did they take it away?"
Liu Fan's muscles jumped gently and said, "Of course, they made achievements and took them from the hands of the barbarians. This was taken by your brother Jinu, my elder brother, Wuji and others together with your brothers."
Xiang Mi shouted: "Brother Afan, are you talking nonsense on purpose? What did we seize the Hulu? At most, we just seized one Qingzhou. Our power and wealth today are stolen from the hands of those noble families and the gentry who have been pressing on us for a hundred years."
Liu Fan laughed: "My Great Jin has its own ancestral system. Since the founding of the country, I have obtained titles by merit and wealth by titles. This is not invented by Brother Jinu, but the laws of Jin. However, in order to protect their wealth and allow their descendants to occupy power and wealth forever, they have separated the passage of the rise of lower-class gentry and common people like us. But in fact, during the Battle of Feishui, we joined the army to serve the country, and were also for the sake of wealth. Brother Jinu, you may want to expel the barbarians and recover the Central Plains for your own ideals, but most of our brothers are not as noble as you and so idealistic. We live in this world, fight for fame and fortune, and the wealth we fight for also needs to be maintained. You say that the title should be reduced by the title and the title should be regarded as an official. We can accept these, but we can directly give up power, lose the army, and lose the territory of the prefectures and counties, how can we convince people?"
Meng Huaiyu said coldly: "Brother Afan, please understand one thing: these territories and the army are not our private property. They are all from the Jin Dynasty and the state. But we are officials and generals, so the state entrusts us to manage it. When our term of office expires, we will naturally change our position. Is it like Huan Wen, who will occupy Jingzhou for the rest of his life, and then let future generations be hereditary, and finally split the country?"
Liu Fan's face changed and he argued: "Of course I don't want to be like Huan Wen. All I said is that our generation, this title will be at most a dead title, but I didn't say that I would surrender to you in this life."
Xiang Mi smiled: "The more Brother Afan said, the more he was, he was ignorant. He had a title, and he still had a salary and wealth after returning home. But who can guarantee that this position and this military position will last forever? Could it be that we, the seventies and eighties, still have to occupy this position when we can't walk, and let people carry it to the battlefield?"
Liu Fan was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to refute it, but sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Liu Yu sighed softly and said, "Afan, in fact, even Huaiyu and Tie Niu understand this truth. Maybe you have had a deep influence on Cialis. Power is a good thing. You can command thousands of troops and become a Fang Bo, and split the land and boundaries. Once you have it, it will be difficult to give up. Which of the high families of those aristocratic families in those days has made great contributions to the country, so that they have the power and wealth of the first generation of heads of the family?"
"But it is because they not only want to be in power until their death, but also want their descendants to be incompetent and have to occupy a high position. They cut off the path of us lower-class gentry and common people, and finally we mastered the army through war, and then grasped the power when quelling the Huan Xuan Rebellion. The question just now, Huaiyu and Tie Niu were correct. Our power and wealth are taken from aristocrats, not from the barbarians. What you said is also partially correct. Receiving titles for merit and taking titles as officials is indeed the ancestral system of the Great Jin Dynasty, but the nobles of aristocrats have not implemented them for nearly a hundred years. Now, are you Liu Fan and General Liu, and will you not implement them?" (End of this chapter)
