Yu Yue smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Tao Gong to be able to flatter others. However, I was still very happy after hearing this. But now is not the time to brag to each other. You were very clear about my current situation just now, and you were not the one who was there before.
In Jiankang City, Jian proposed that he would abandon the city and go to Jiangbei, thus offending Liu Yu. I also heard that you were under house arrest for a time. Why are you here now? "
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Actually, my situation is similar to yours. Liu Yu returned to Beijing alone at that time, with only dozens of followers and not even an army. In this case, if you want to defend Jiankang, you have to take all the money."
The lives of the city's soldiers and civilians were gambling. I didn't agree with his crazy approach, so I openly contradicted him. As a result, he became angry and locked me up directly. Later, Meng Chang and Meng Shangshu also felt that Liu Yu had gone too far, and
Meng Shangshu also wanted to protect the emperor and defected to Liu Yu at first. His views were similar to mine, so Meng Chang took the initiative to keep me by his side. In fact, he was also protecting me. After all, if he fell into the hands of Liu Yu's men, I might not know what happened.
Bai Di is dead."
Yu Yue shook his head: "You are a famous person in the world, who dares to touch you so easily?"
Tao Yuanming sighed: "It's hard to say, because at that time, in order to buy time, I even went to see Sima Guofan privately, as well as Yao Xing's general Yao Shao and Later Qin's national advisor Kumarajiva, hoping to ask them to send troops to help.
Jin attacked the demon thieves, but Liu Yu found out that I had liaisons with foreign countries and was suspected of being a spy. At that time, the arrogant and powerful generals under his command even clamored to kill me to sacrifice the flag. Alas, if it weren't for
Meng Chang pleads for mercy, I am afraid that my life has already been given to Jiankang."
Yu Yue's expression changed: "Is it such an exaggeration? There are so many noble families and scholars in the world, and they will watch you being killed by a few warriors?"
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "They just want to do what Liu Yu wants to do but it's not convenient for him to do. I offended Liu Yu not just in a day or two, but because we have different ways and don't work together. He wants to rely on
These warriors who only know how to kill and set fire conquer the world, and even realize their ulterior motives, wresting power from the hands of noble families and nobles, and returning to the barbaric era when the emperor was the emperor with strong soldiers and horses. This is
This is something that our Tao family, and even the scholars in the world, cannot allow. Even you, Mr. Yu, can you accept it?"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Yu Yue's face, and he shook his head: "Who would do it anyway? But now in troubled times, we must first rely on an army capable of fighting to protect our family and country. And in the past hundred years, the children of our aristocratic family have
Most of the scholars abandoned martial arts and cultivated literature and indulged in talking about Qing Dynasty and Xuan Dynasty, which led to them losing control of the army step by step. This gave these lower-level warriors an opportunity. It is too late to talk about this now. The fact is that Liu Yu is the representative
The Eight-Party Party of the Beifu Army and Beijing has taken over the power. What I have to do now is not to use military merit to regain power step by step within the rules they have established."
Having said this, Yu Yue paused: "I remember, Tao Gong, you were the first to follow Huan Xuan. You also helped Huan Xuan defeat Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi, and then entered the capital as his staff. Our first time
We met at a banquet hosted by Huan Xuan. Of course, we were just casual acquaintances at that time. Is it because you were born in Huan Chu that Liu Yu hated you so much that you didn’t cooperate with him? "
Tao Yuanming shook his head and said calmly: "I will never really regard myself as a subordinate of those warriors who only know how to march and fight. Not to mention Huan Xuan, even Huan Wen is not worthy of my seeking refuge. I am a great leader.
The people of Jin have received the blessings of Jin from generation to generation. My allegiance is also to Jin. This is what our ancestor Tao Gong taught us. However, no matter who represents Jin as an official and controls the power of Jin,
We must be loyal to him because he represents the Jin Dynasty."
"So, when the Yu family was the governor of Jingzhou, our Tao family served the Yu family. After Huan Wen came, we were also loyal to him at the beginning. It's just that Huan Wen was too popular and was afraid of our Tao family and your Yu family, our predecessors.
, tried every means to eliminate our influence, punished and massacred our two families wantonly, forcing our Tao family to retreat to the mountains, just like savages, and your Yu family was even worse, killing many of his nephews, and finally
Forced to retreat to the land of Wu, the Huan family's hegemony in Jingzhou can be said to be built on the blood and tears of our two families. From this point of view, we are two noble families who have suffered from the scourge of this kind of warlords and warriors, and share the same sympathy.
.”
Yu Yue gritted her teeth: "Our Yu family devoted ourselves to serving the Jin Dynasty. Unexpectedly, we were harmed by the old thief Huan Wen. He almost wiped out all his descendants in Jingzhou. The decline of the Yu family started from then. If it weren't for the people in Wu.
Several high-ranking families protected our Yu family who were in trouble at that time. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand here and talk to you today. I know that your Tao family was forced to return to your hometown tribe and live with your tribe until today. But, you
You should stand on the opposite side of Huan Xuan and help Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi. How can you serve Huan Xuan?"
Tao Yuanming sighed: "I did serve Yin Zhongkan at first, but this man was ambitious and incompetent and refused to listen to me. Taking advantage of the weakening power of the Huan family, he wantonly purged and slaughtered the Huan family's nephews in Jingzhou. He
After all, they were also foreign families from Wu. They were afraid that without the support of the Huan family, they would not be able to give orders in Jingzhou, so they chose to cooperate with Huan Xuanxian, hoping to use the power of the Huan family to consolidate their own power. But how could he
If you don’t think about it carefully, Huan Xuan is the heir designated by Huan Wen. The end result is that he is used by Huan Xuan to help Huan Xuan gain a foothold in Jingzhou and recruit his old troops. When Huan Xuan’s wings are full, Yin Zhong
It's too late to regret it, even if we win over Yang Quanqi in Yongzhou, he is still no match for Huan Xuan."
Yu Yue nodded: "I understand, so at the critical moment, you switched to Huan Xuan and abandoned Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi?"
Tao Yuanming curled up his lips: "I just resigned from the official position with Yin Zhongkan and retired to the mountains and forests. I am just a scholar, a famous person to decorate my appearance. I am not deeply involved in these military and political affairs, and Huan Xuan
After gaining power, in order to show his kindness to celebrities, especially those from local famous families, he forcibly recruited me from home. Of course, it was half recruitment, half threat, and there were some inducements. For example, if I didn't go,
, they imprisoned me and expelled me as a scholar for the crime of betraying Yin Zhongkan. If I go, some of the Tao family's property that was taken from me can be returned to me. Yu Gong, you say, in this kind of situation
Under such circumstances, do I still have the right to choose?" ()
