Xiang Mi's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Yu: "Brother Jinu, you, you mean..."
Liu Yu said seriously: "The ancestors of the children of aristocratic families are all just like us, people who have fought for the country and made great contributions. They are not like this at the beginning. They have good education, family studies, and
We have been educating our children and grandchildren on the principle of retreat if we do not advance, but we still cannot control the fact that future generations only want comfort and wealth, but are unwilling to work hard and struggle for it. Even if it is you and me, you are so sure and willing to let your two
A son who charges into battle and bleeds and dies like the rest of us?"
A look of helplessness flashed through Xiang Mi's eyes, and he sighed: "I don't have any problem. A man should serve on the battlefield. Even if he dies without regrets, the child's mother doesn't want to. What mother in the world is willing?"
Seeing that her son's life is in danger? She just wants them to study well and become civil servants in the future. I don't know how many times I have argued with her about this."
Liu Yu squinted his eyes and nodded: "That's it, this is the most basic human nature. Mother doesn't want her son to suffer, and grandpa doesn't want his grandchildren to die. So the children of the aristocratic family will gradually stay away from the battlefield, and further don't want to
If you work hard on your studies and you are born with wealth, then why work hard and risk your life? This is human nature."
Xiang Mi gritted his teeth: "So, you made the rule that the title is reduced by one level, and non-nobles are not allowed to serve as officials. This is to prevent the degeneration of future generations from happening, and to force people to make meritorious deeds and work hard."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, so it's not that there is anything inherently wrong with the family, but that as a human being, there will always be laziness, fear of death, and greed. Just like me, what I think about all day long is the Northern Expedition.
To regain the lost ground is to work hard to create a better world for the poor people who seem to have nothing to do with me. How many powerful people can understand me? In their eyes, I am simply an alien.
If I don't enjoy it, I will do my best to mess with these useless things, and I even feel that I am just like Huan Xuan, and sooner or later I am accumulating fame for my treason."
Xiang Mi said bitterly: "You should really seize that big position, so that no one dares to speak against you. Replace the brothers with the current high-ranking families, so that you can get real support and no longer have to worry about being controlled by others.
Brother Jinu, don’t blame me for being outspoken, the emperor of the Sima family is not worthy of a hero like you!"

Liu Yu smiled and patted Xiang Mi on the shoulder: "Okay, just complain to me. Don't go out and talk nonsense. You say I should sit in this world. When my descendants come, others will do the same."
If we do this, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Now, I just want to regain the lost territory and carve out a country for us Han people, so that our people will never have to be invaded or enslaved by others. I don't think about other things."
At this point, Liu Yucha changed the topic and said: "Tieniu, we Jingba brothers will also become a new aristocratic family based on merit and title in the future. It does not mean that we are inherently higher than those current aristocratic families.
Wait, or be more noble. Once a person gains power and loses restraint, he may become worse than the corrupt officials before. Even the brothers around us have many such evil things. Today we will not
We have talked about how to make our children and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren of today’s aristocratic families, not be greedy for pleasure, but be forge ahead with determination. This is what we really need to do.”
Xiang Mi gritted his teeth: "You are right. I wrongly blamed the fat man. He is already in the prime minister's position and holds great power, but he still works hard for your great cause and works hard for your great cause. For such a person,
I shouldn't doubt it, maybe my sister-in-law is really too worried about this matter."
Liu Yu shook his head: "She's not overly concerned. There are indeed such possibilities and risks. Even if the fat man is dead set on me, it's hard to say whether his son and grandchildren will be with us. Now he has sole power.
He also won my trust. If in the future, a young man we have trained can take up leadership roles and take charge, or even share his power and take his position, will he withdraw without any complaints?
This possibility must be considered."
Xiang Mi sighed: "Brother Jinu, I just realized today how heavy the burden is on your shoulders and how many things you have to worry about. In my heart, you are still the big brother who only rushed to the front.
But today I realized that what you have to consider is far more than war and military affairs. It’s all my fault. I’ll just say something here today to distract you. If I can move now, I will definitely do it ruthlessly.
Just give yourself thirty slaps and then apologize to the fat man."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Tieniu, thank you for your loyalty. I know that there are not many brothers left who joined the army together back then, and there are even fewer brothers who can talk to each other and speak their true feelings.
When you get better this time, I still need you to fight side by side with me and charge into battle, so you have to seize the time to recuperate."
Xiang Mi nodded, something suddenly occurred to him, he hesitated, and finally said: "Brother Jinu, Ah Shao didn't fight well this time. Will he have little chance in the future?"
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Xiang Mi sighed: "Is there anything more to say? It's all obvious. Last time we attacked Xicheng, he was the main attacker and the main force. Instead of taking it, Murong Town's cavalry counterattacked from here, which almost missed the big event.
, after the evaluation of merit, several young people rated it as top merit. Even his subordinate Shen Tianzi was a minor merit, and he just had no merit and no fault. Before I got sick, Ah Shao asked me to drink several times.
He drank until he was drunk and almost didn't say a word. I can know the depression and worry in his heart."
Liu Yu said calmly: "I gave him a good opportunity, even a chance to attack, but he didn't seize it himself. It's no wonder that others are there. Now there are military rules in the army. How he behaves will be watched by thousands of pairs of eyes.
Just keep an eye on it, no one can use tricks, Dashi, Santianzi, Zhenxi, and even Changmin all performed very wrong, there is no way I can get past them and let Ah Shao gain great merit."
At this point, Liu Yu paused: "However, I will not take away his military power or demote him just because of this failure. The Tan family has always made great achievements in battle, and this time it is not too bad. Later, the demons will be defeated."
Thief, I still want to use him. You need to recover quickly and return to the team as soon as possible. When you come back, I will let you go to Ah Shao as a deputy general so that you can help him."
