Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, the Yin family also turned against the Huan family. Yin Zhongwen's uncle Yin Hao was angered to death by Huan Wen, and the Yin family also fell into decline like our Tao family. Yin Zhongkan was also one of the descendants of the Yin family.
The most outstanding one was recruited by Wang Xun since he was a child and trained secretly. Because his family status was much higher than that of our Tao family at that time, he finally took over the position of White Tiger, and I was asked to assist Yin Zhong.
Awesome."
Yao Xing smiled and said: "But if I remember correctly, it seems that Mr. turned his back on Yin Zhongkan and turned to Huan Xuan in the end. What's going on?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Huan Xuan was a disciple trained by Xi Chao, the former mafia guard Qinglong. Huan Wen used some of the Jingzhou resources he left behind as a guarantee and asked Xi Chao to help him help Huan Xuan ascend to power smoothly, so Huan Xuan himself
He was ambitious when he was young and contacted powerful people everywhere in order to restore his father's legacy. He had some connections with Murong Chui and Tuoba Gui, and he had been enemies with Liu Yu for many years. Xi Chao was originally afraid of the power of the Huan family in Jingzhou.
Influence, although there is support for Huan Xuan, it is more about control. To put it bluntly, Xi Chao does not want Huan Xuan to take over Jingzhou, but wants to be the leader of Jingzhou himself and leave the mafia to stand on his own like Huan Wen did."
Yao Xing sighed: "Later, when all this was made public, Xi Chao was ruined and was beheaded by Liu Yu himself on the horse stage. Immediately afterwards, the Sun En Rebellion broke out, and Huan Xuan also eliminated Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi successively, and even
The entire mafia was eliminated. What role did you play in this process? Since you are a disciple of White Tiger Wang Xun, why don't you protect the mafia?"
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Because Wang Xun doesn't know people well and trusts no one, just because Yin Zhongkan's family background is stronger than mine, he wants Yin Zhongkan to take over the position of Baihu. How can this convince me? What's more, Yin Zhongkan takes over.
After that, Wang Xun died inexplicably. Although I have never found out how he died, I guess it was related to Yin Zhongkan. It was just because Yin Zhongkan wanted to use the power of my Tao family among the Xi people.
, that's why he didn't attack me. Yin Zhongkan is a proud and arrogant person, he can't listen to advice, and he is hypocritical and does not hesitate to spend all his military supplies to win people's hearts. This is a doomed situation. I can't save him, but at least I can
Save myself!"
Yao Xing laughed: "So Mr. took the opportunity to defect to Huan Xuan, betrayed Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi, and became Huan Xuan's staff from then on, right?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "I am just a temporary defector to Huan Xuan, not his confidant, so he has never really trusted me. In addition, Bian Fanzhi has always been wary of me, so I can only hide behind the scenes to prevent myself from
I am conspicuous. To outsiders, I am just an ordinary civil servant in Huanxuan's shogunate. Because of my status as a Jingzhou native and my title of a famous scholar, I am just a trap for him. But this is good, as it can effectively hide my true identity.
The mafia was destroyed by Huan Xuan, and no one knows my background from now on. I can completely follow the trend and find a master who is truly worthy of my service!"
Yao Xing curled up his lips and said, "If it weren't for Liu Yu's disrespect for your noble clan and his desire for those warriors from humble families to rise to power, I'm afraid you would sincerely serve Liu Yu."
Tao Yuanming sighed, his eyes becoming lonely and gloomy: "I once really wanted to serve Liu Yu. After all, his family lacked scholars with real talents and learning. Even if Liu Muzhi and Xu Xianzhi were there, there would still be some
My place of use, but what Liu Yu wants to do is to eliminate the entire scholar group, so that the world will truly have no distinction between Gao Han, scholars and common people. My Tao family has been a scholar for all generations, and I have enjoyed the benefits of being a scholar.
, and we also know that whether the country or the world, we need rules and order. The reason why we nobles govern people as hard workers, and the farmers and villagers govern people as laborers, is that we have culture, knowledge, and ability.
We govern the country, so they can only obey our rule. If this advantage is gone and everyone in the world wants to be a master, then who will be willing to work peacefully? Sooner or later, the world will be in chaos!"
Yao Xing smiled and said: "It seems that you Han nobles regard this distinction between scholars and common people even more than the differences between Hu and Han. If I hadn't heard what Mr. said today, I would never have believed it in my dreams.
"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "From the perspective of us Central Plains people, there is no inherent contradiction between Hu and Han. The so-called Hu people are just barbarians from all over the world. Of course, they also have the right to pursue a better life and live and work in peace and contentment. When the force is strong,
When you enter the Central Plains, as long as you abide by the rules of our Central Plains, you can stay and even establish your own dynasty. Just like Your Majesty, if you respect the virtuous and love the scholars, and abide by the values and customs of our Central Plains, it will be a civilization worthy of our nobles.
Lord, if Liu Yu wants to destroy our thousands of years of tradition in the Central Plains, he will be our mortal enemy!"
Yao Xing's eyes flashed coldly: "Liu Yu doesn't know that your husband was once a mafia, right? After the demise of the mafia, did you leave some legacy to your husband, so you can still make trouble in Jin?
?”
Tao Yuanming sighed: "It's a pity that after several internal strife, the mafia's vitality was severely damaged. In addition, Sun En's rebellion severely damaged the strength of several major guards. So when Huan Xuan entered the capital, it was almost impossible to resist, and was eventually captured by Huan Xuan.
However, Yin Zhongkan died early and did not expose me. In Huan Xuan's view, I was just a famous scholar who wanted to be an official. There was no big difference from other nobles in Jiankang City.
What I can control is still the insignificant power I had when Bai Hu asked me to assist Yin Zhongkan. It is just dozens of secret guards and a few strongholds, which can hardly accomplish anything."
Yao Xing shook his head: "But with this little power, didn't you make a great success? He was able to rob Sima Guofan, who should be executed on trial, and even became related to the national preceptor here!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I formed a good relationship with the Imperial Preceptor during my last mission. I don't have any acquaintances in the Qin State, and it is difficult to meet His Majesty. Only through the relationship of the Imperial Preceptor, can I meet him at the right time."
I have the opportunity to meet with Your Majesty. As for Sima Guofan, when I made up my mind to overthrow Liu Yu, I began to identify partners in the Sima family who could cooperate. Of course, if Liu Yu hadn't forced Sima Guofan this time,
Even if he is desperate, there is no way he would give up his glory and wealth and come to Great Qin with me!"
Yao Xing looked at Tao Yuanming, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated: "Okay, Mr. Tao, I already know almost everything I want to know. Now I want to ask you, what can Sima Guofan, or even you, do for me?"
What benefits will it bring? If you were me and took you two in, if it would bring about Liu Yu’s revenge, then shouldn’t you be handed over?!"
