Liu Kuangzhi laughed: "It's just that your lord's performance at the abdication ceremony was too outstanding. You know, he was the one who handed the jade seal to Huan Xuan with his own hands. He was so famous in the Chu Dynasty, and when he returned to
Da Jin, how ruthless it will be if it is liquidated, has your lord never thought about this?"
Qingfengzi smiled slightly: "Isn't it always like this in the Jin Dynasty's aristocratic families? Whoever wins the world will be loyal to him. Besides, there seems to be someone else who took the jade seal from the hands of Queen Wang at that time."
Liu Kuangzhi said coldly: "Brother Jinu wanted to confuse Huan Xuan and avoid being killed. He raised an army after he returned. Naturally, he could get rid of the suspicion of disloyalty. But your master is not like that, right?"
Qingfengzi curled up his lips: "Didn't we also protect you and Wang Zhongde? Now we are also helping you connect the aristocratic families in this city and prepare for the government to drive away Empress Huanxuan. Moreover, don't forget, Liu
Yu is a very affectionate person. Before he joined the Beifu Army in Jingkou, he was bullied by Diao Kui. Who saved him and rescued him? If you forget, your lord or Liu Yu may remind you."
Liu Kuangzhi sighed: "Is this the reason why a high-class family like your lord can survive so many storms? Maybe I really need to learn this skill of hedging my bets and getting the best of both worlds."
Qingfengzi smiled and drank down the glass of wine in front of him: "Well, in fact, isn't your master starting to become like us? However, I'm afraid Liu Yu won't think so now. Brother Kuang Zhi,
The future world will be built and run by our masters together. Our good days are still to come. Starting a business is difficult, and some sacrifices cannot be avoided. In the chaos of Tianshi Dao, the children of Wang Xie and other aristocratic families also died. Everything
You have to take it lightly."
Liu Kuangzhi gritted his teeth: "But are you really sure that the mafia has been eliminated now? Can you fully represent the high-ranking families in Jiankang City in the future?"
Qingfengzi smiled slightly: "The major aristocratic families have been treated as monkeys by the Mafia for more than a hundred years, and their hatred for them is no less than the hatred of the tenants of Wudi Manor towards us. If it were not determined, there would be no more
The conspiracy organization is manipulating us behind the scenes, so how can my lord be willing to officially come out? However, in return for our loyalty, my lord also hopes that the manor in Wudi can be considered to continue to be run by aristocratic families like us in the future."
Liu Kuangzhi's expression changed slightly: "Is this a condition?"
Qingfengzi nodded: "You can think so. After all, in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, no matter who comes to power, they will have to give a meal to the noble families. Don't worry, we know that Liu Yu has the ambition to calm the world and clear up the world.
They will no longer let the mafia do bad things behind them as before, but the generals of the Beifu Army are all military men, and there is no way they can fight. When it comes to governing the country, it is not their specialty. Normal court taxes
We will cooperate with taxation, recruiting people, and we will no longer hide our homes, hide our fields, and not pay taxes as before. However, I also ask your lord to be considerate. There are tens of thousands, more than 100,000 children of the aristocratic family, so many people.
We have to eat, but without the manor and land, how can we make a living?"
Liu Kuangzhi said coldly: "This matter is too big. I can't give you an answer. I can only give you an answer after the army has regained the capital, Brother Jin is in power, and my lord is assisting the governor. However, I advise you.
Let me tell your lord, Brother Jinu is different from all the previous aristocratic families and warlords in the Jin Dynasty. What he wants to build is a powerful country, a country that can mobilize the national resources, manpower, material resources, food, and ordnance, to complete the tasks before
The great cause of the Northern Expedition, which could not be accomplished by the predecessors in a hundred years, and the creation of a world of great achievements for a generation. If you, the high-ranking families, still hold on to the old idea of wanting to control everything and dominate everything, continue to play this kind of tug-and-pull with Brother Jinu.
It’s a ridiculous game, I’m afraid you’ll die miserably.”
Qingfengzi curled up his lips: "I knew this very well when I was in Chang'an. In fact, we are also from the same group. My lord's surname is Wang, but I am not. I am just a nameless wandering Taoist. Now
I was just working under him. Even if the Wang family was destroyed, I would not have to accompany him to death. Even my master back then would have let me run away to save my life. In the future, brother Kuang would flourish under Liu Canjun.
Maybe I will still need your help a lot."
Liu Kuangzhi's expression softened slightly and he said: "Very good, if you really want to show your sincerity in cooperation, then you must prepare an internal response in Jiankang City now, especially take advantage of the chaos to control the Jin Emperor and the Huanxuan clan.
And the preparation of the harem, in addition, the court's classics, collections, archives, especially the precious historical materials and documents of the previous dynasties, various official rosters and archives of the Jin Dynasty and the Pseudo-Chu Dynasty, money and food, soldiers and horses, population of various places, etc.
No books or records can be damaged."
Qingfengzi smiled and said: "It is indeed Liu Muzhi, a genius of a generation. Now that the outcome has not yet been determined, he is thinking about controlling the future government and protecting these materials. It seems that the future Zhongshu Ling must be him. These
My lord does not need to remind you, he is already taking care of the matter. After all, he is now the head of the court, and these things are all under his custody. Huanxuan is too busy now to take care of these things. He only thinks about how to fight. Don’t worry, we will put the most important things into consideration.
The information has been transferred to a safe place for safekeeping. The Beifu Army will never be left with nothing when they enter Beijing. However, there is one thing I need to tell you, brothers Sima Dezong, Sima Dewen, and Wang
The empress and other concubines in the harem had advised Tao Yuanming to move to Jiangzhou on the night of the uprising a few days ago. Huanxuan had made two preparations at the beginning of the suppression of the rebellion and would not leave the former emperor to Liu Yuzuo
With a big banner, even if we lose Jiankang this time, at least we will still have the capital to fight when we return to Jingzhou in the future."
Liu Kuangzhi's expression changed: "What, Sima Dezong, oh, no, His Majesty sent him away? What does Tao Yuanming mean? Didn't he not be reused under Huanxuan? Why did he help Huanxuan do such a thing?"
Qingfengzi shook his head: "Maybe it's to protect himself. After all, although Huanxuan doubts him, the more this happens and Liu Yu raises troops, then Huanxuan may also deal with him who has always been suspicious of him. So, give me some advice
Self-preservation is what smart people do, and not only that, I heard that it was Tao Yuanming who helped that Diao Kui to put down the Liyang Rebellion!"
Liu Kuangzhi gritted his teeth: "This cunning fox must not be kept. I must report it to the lord and hoe him off!"
