Build Kangcheng and Jianjing Temple.
Liu Yu was dressed like a peasant, standing alone in the deserted courtyard. The cool night breeze blew his long hair under his bamboo hat. His sharp-edged face also had a few wrinkles.
As he was staring at the dry bark on the big elm tree in his yard, he sighed softly: "The wood is like this, how can people be embarrassed."
Wang Miaoyin's graceful voice came faintly from behind him: "At least, you have established your own achievements, and now that you are going to make great achievements, you will not be like Huan Wen, who died before his great achievements were completed. However, you still have to seize the time.
Well, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we are all old."
Liu Yu turned around and looked at Wang Miaoyin, who was dressed in palace attire, elegant and dignified, and took off his bamboo hat. His eyes were fixed on Wang Miaoyin's body, which was filled with white moonlight and was as crystal clear as jade.
On the pink face, she smiled slightly: "I am getting old, but you will always be so beautiful."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly, with a sweet dimple at the corner of her mouth: "When did you also learn to talk sweetly and make women happy?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "This is a fact, not to make you happy. I'm sorry for putting you in danger for so long. I will never let you take such a risk next time."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "This is the fate that I must face as the queen of the Jin Dynasty and as a son of a noble family. It has nothing to do with you, brother Yu. You couldn't protect yourself at that time. It is already a miracle that Jianyi succeeded. If it weren't for you,
I won't be free now. However, we don't have much time. Maybe I will leave Jiankang again soon to join Sima Dezong. It will be much harder to come out again in the future."
Liu Yu sighed: "The situation of this Western Expedition is much more complicated than I originally expected. Firstly, Huan Zhen's counterattack far exceeded my expectations. Secondly, Lu Xunxu was able to overthrow these demon thieves.
After traveling thousands of miles around the sea and capturing Lingnan by sea, the third party, my old friends, the Mao family in Yizhou, encountered the disaster of annihilation when they won. Although Huanxuan was said to have been eliminated, many more people were killed all of a sudden.
We defeated three powerful enemies and lost two big states one after another. This is not the result I want."
Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu calmly: "Do you regret not leading the troops personally? Or do you think that if you led the troops outside, at least two major states would not be lost?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant. There is nothing wrong with Xile's handling. It is unlikely that I would have done better. Huan Zhen is the most dangerous enemy now. The fall of Guangzhou and Yizhou is also
These enemies have noticed that our troops are insufficient and they will face a strong counterattack by the old Huan family in Jingzhou, so it will be difficult to take care of them for the time being."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "So, what do you want to do, go out yourself, or add reinforcements to Liu Yi, so that he can continue to pacify Yizhou and Guangzhou after defeating Huan Zhen?"
Liu Yu sighed: "It has been more than half a year since the soldiers went to war, and they have entered the period of returning home in terms of military tactics. Now Xile and Wuji plan to use Jiangling as bait to lure Huan Zhen to attack, and then fight with him near Jiangling to defeat Huan in one fell swoop.
To revive and eliminate, this is the guiding ideology of a quick victory and to finish the battle and go home early. Therefore, it is not appropriate to send troops to the front line, no matter who is leading them."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Also, Liu Yi has received brothers Sima Dezong and Sima Dewen this time, and they have saved him. Even if you give him a brand new army, he will not be willing to continue fighting outside.
For him, returning to Jiankang to fight for power is the first priority. Defeating Huan Zhen on the battlefield is easy, but defeating you in the court is the biggest battle in his life."
Liu Yu's expression turned gloomy: "We are all brothers from Beifu. I don't want to continue fighting with him like this. He won the battle and made meritorious service, so he should get what he deserves. I will not suppress him."
Wang Miaoyin sneered: "But there is only one position of highest power. The emperor of the Sima clan is just a puppet. The number one person in the Jin Dynasty, you are willing to share it with him, but he is not willing to share it with you. If he were in your position,
He hopes that you will stay outside for the rest of your life and never come back. So if you really give him new reinforcements and let him continue to fight the rebellion, he will be more convinced that you want to exile him, and he may start a war with you directly.
Merged."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Is there any way you can make Xile not so obsessed with power? If necessary, I can make concessions to him. Now that Dajin is in trouble internally and externally, we, the eight brothers in Beijing, cannot have conflicts again at this time.
and conflicted.”
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "I don't have a good idea. This time Liu Yi made great achievements in the Western Expedition, and many children from aristocratic families began to fall in love with him. After Liu Tingyun came back, she also relied on Princess Langya to move around and spread the word
The good thing about Liu Yi is that there are at least thirty more middle-class and upper-class families who want to switch to Liu Yi, and one of them is the Wang Yu family that you publicly humiliated in the underground execution altar last time."
Liu Yu's brows furrowed tightly: "I was warning them, not to humiliate them. At this time, these aristocratic families are still thinking about their own family interests and want to continue to harm the country and enrich themselves. I will never allow it."
Yes, besides, Xi Le stands with me on this matter."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. You were asking them to hand over the shop contract in their hands, and the servants in the house would have to pay taxes as normal common people. This would undoubtedly kill him. After you leave,
While Liu Yi distributed the contracts to them, he also hinted that they could use their nephews to join the army, obtain titles through merit, and rely on the title stipulated in the Jin Dynasty law to continue to pay taxes for these servants. Otherwise, how could there be so many children of aristocratic families?
Are you suddenly joining the army? The righteous benefits you have given me are far less than the practical benefits Liu Yi has given me. Brother Yu, never underestimate the greed of human nature."
Liu Yu was silent for a while and said: "There is nothing I can do about it. In order to compromise with Xile, in order to allow Wang Mi to continue to be in power, to allow Fatty to enter the power level, and to let Jingxuan lead the army, I must make concessions to Xile. In the capital,
These shops are not only the money bag of the family, but also the territory that Xi Le has worked hard for for more than 20 years. As long as we can pay taxes to the treasury and the court normally, I have no problem letting him take care of them."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "But now this escrow has become a means for him to show favor to the family and win over the scholars. Isn't this a problem? He is not Xie Yan. He can win the battle and let the children of the family mix in.
Military merit, after returning from the Western Expedition this time, hundreds of children from aristocratic families will be promoted based on their merits. If there is a war next time, who do you think the children from aristocratic families will be willing to fight with, you or him?"
