Liu Yu's lips trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously. He gritted his teeth: "In my heart, although Dao Lian is dull, he still had a pure nature when he was a boy. The three of us brothers can work together
He is the kind of close relative who only eats a bowl of rice. I served the country in the army for many years and neglected to discipline him, so that he suddenly gained glory and wealth from a rural boy who had not enough to eat, coupled with the temptation of the people around him.
He turned into such a corrupt official by instigating him, and I should bear half of his sins."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "He is also your brother, and he is also separated from others. How come the Taoist rules are so good? How come this kind of thing has not happened to him?"
"After Liu Daogui went to Jingzhou, he not only controlled himself, but also strictly controlled the guards and long-term attendants around him. It was stipulated that anyone who steals or takes a piece of needle from the people of Jingzhou will be severely punished!"
"The captain of his guard, because when he first went to Jingzhou, the official residence was in a dilapidated state and there was no pillow or mat on the bed, so he went to the market to get a roll of mats and took a white note without any money."
"Because of this incident, the Taoist order was ordered to be beheaded. From then on, Jiangling was in good order. Civil and military officials at all levels in Jingzhou no longer dared to use any public weapons for private purposes. Corruption was the same as when we first entered Jiankang, and the atmosphere was completely new."
Liu Yu sighed: "Indeed, Dao Gui has always been in the army. When you are around me, you see what I do and you are influenced by it. You also know that as an officer, every word and deed will determine the atmosphere of the government in the place. Jingzhou is
It is an important town in the Jin Dynasty and a vassal town that has been separated from the imperial court for hundreds of years. People are not attached to it. If we continue to engage in this kind of power-seeking behavior, we will lose the hearts of the people. It is a pity that Dao Lian does not understand this truth. It is my job to let others
Cronyism, putting incompetent people in such an important position just to subsidize childhood poverty, is harming the country."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Dao Lian did make a mistake, but the fault was that he was incompetent and greedy, not that you should not be nepotistic. Ji Nu, you have chosen the path of the emperor, so you must follow this path.
To act according to the law, you must be nepotistic. This is a necessary rule for the family and the world."
Liu Yu frowned: "If you don't have the ability, or you haven't made enough achievements, just because you are my family member or relative, you should be placed in an important position? This goes against our original intention of conquering the world."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the road to the emperor is to family the world first, that is to pay attention to loyalty and filial piety. You are the emperor, so loyalty is not mentioned. It is the people of the world who are loyal to you, and your reward is to protect the family.
country, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and have the hope of promotion in the future. This is benevolence and righteousness."
Liu Yu murmured to himself: "Benevolence and righteousness? Is this benevolence and righteousness? Then the emperor's filial piety means that he must give priority to his family members? Should officials be awarded only based on blood rather than ability?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, because benevolence and righteousness are inseparable from loyalty and filial piety. All our laws and morals are based on loyalty and filial piety. If you are unloyal to the country and unfilial to your family, then such a person is naturally unworthy.
The king has no father and is lawless. You cannot use any human rules to restrain him. If you want to follow the path of an emperor, and if you want to usurp power from the Sima family in the future, then it will be even more difficult to talk about loyalty. Only
Greatly strengthen the word "filial piety" so that the rules established at the beginning of the founding of the country can be established and prevent others from usurping power and seizing the throne like you."
Liu Yu frowned: "It doesn't seem to be the case. If you don't care about the country, are not loyal to the emperor, and don't love the people, and only think about seeking personal gain for your family, for the so-called filial piety, then it will become the behavior of high-ranking families.
, harming the public and enriching private interests, will it eventually bring disaster to the world? I have already made such a big mistake regarding Dao Lian, and now it is too late to regret it. How can I do such a thing further? "
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Because this is the basic rule of our world for thousands of years. Just like the road of the emperor, only as the emperor, sitting on the supreme power of the world, can we do whatever we want, do whatever we want, and let the world
Everyone acts for you out of fear rather than out of pure love. If you want to concentrate all the manpower and material resources in the world to fight against the Tiandao Alliance, it may cost countless people their lives. If you don't order the world as an emperor, you will be safe.
Can this be so?!"
Liu Yu was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Only after I become an emperor, can I use the power of the emperor to change the world's views through education or decrees? Before that, I have to be like the kings of all ages.
, relying solely on blood ties to promote relatives to important positions? If this continues, the descendants of future generations will soon have their abilities degraded, and become the public enemies of the people of the world just like the current high-ranking families. How do you solve this problem? "
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is not unsolvable. The high families of the aristocratic families can partially solve this problem through intra-family competition and inter-family competition. It's just because they hold the power and control the situation."
Family interests come first.”
"So as time goes by, the talents of high-ranking families wither away. The descendants of later generations are born with glory and wealth. When they reach adulthood, because of the recommendation mechanism of official titles, even if they have no ability or merit, they can still hold on to power, and they will naturally fall.
, this is just like the beasts we raise, over time, they no longer even have the ability to hunt. When the noble family reaches the point where they can no longer even control and lead the army, it will be time for us to take over."
Liu Yu said thoughtfully: "You mean, nepotism is not completely wrong. The mistake is to let them be hereditary and replace them. There is a lack of competition, let alone elimination, right?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, the principle of demotion of titles and promotion of titles based on merit is very correct. The rise and fall of dynasties is nothing more than problems in power distribution and talent system. Power is given to relatives.
It can ensure the stability of the family and the world, except of course for families like the Murong family. Therefore, if you kill the entire Murong family this time, you can also shock the whole world. Just like the Eight Kings Rebellion, let all families know that
If you ignore the overall situation and keep fighting among yourself just for your own selfish interests, the result will be the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, and no one will be spared."
Liu Yu nodded: "What you said makes sense, but how can you solve all this? The path of the emperor means unlimited power. Who doesn't want to have the power to kill and seize lives in the world? I can ensure that I
The use of this power is for ideals and public concern, but how can others ensure this? How can they ensure that in the process of seizing this power, they will not cause harm to the world like Murong did?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly, and his squinted eyes opened instantly, and he said loudly: "Fairness, rules, openness!"
