Liu Daogui frowned and said, "Isn't it too much to kill someone without guilt, even for someone as highly suspected as Tao Yuanming? I know that you arrested Han Fan and Feng Yi in Qingzhou on the false charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
These people were executed. Even Wang Zhenzhi criticized this. Tao Yuanming's reputation in the entire Jin Dynasty was much better than that of the Han family, who was once a senior official in Nanyan and a powerful man in Qingzhou. It could even be
He is said to be a famous person in the world and a great scholar, but now he gives the impression that he is dedicated to running around for the country, but he does not occupy a large amount of land and real estate like the children of aristocratic families, and only wants to benefit himself. Such a person should not be touched lightly. "
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "To do so would be like killing Ji Kang. It would be against the will of the world's scholars. All the students would be willing to die for him, right?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "If you don't have clear evidence of his treason or collaboration with the enemy and rebellion, you have to kill him. I'm afraid it will be even more unpopular than when Sima Yan killed Ji Kang. We don't have the capital to completely fall out with the nobles yet.
If you can't even run your official school, it will be in trouble. Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei posed a huge threat, but before Liu Bei openly betrayed him, he couldn't do anything casually. The so-called killing one person and destroying the world's popularity, blocking
Things that the world's elites come to invest in can't be done before the great cause is determined."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Judging from my handling of Han Fan and Feng Yi, it has not blocked the way for Qingzhou scholars to come to join us. Even my Lanxiang official school, the scholars who come to join us now are also coming to join us every day."
So much so that I have to arrange special tests to determine whether the people who enter the school are qualified to be officials, rather than just showing off and boasting but having no actual ability to do things. In fact, there are still many monks and few among the nobles who want to be officials.
There are far more people than the gentry. I don’t think that killing Tao Yuanming will cause no one in the world to defect to him. You and I are both gentry. From your perspective, of course, it is from the person who cultivated land in Jingkou back then.
From the perspective of Liu Daogui and Liu Sanlang, how would they view this matter?"
Liu Daogui said without hesitation: "From my point of view, if you don't know that Tao Yuanming has repeatedly opposed his eldest brother in order to gain fame and reputation, and hear that he was kidnapped by demon thieves and brought to Jingzhou and executed by us for being a thief, you will definitely think that this is the result of eldest brother's relationship with the eldest brother."
You, Liu Changshi, use official weapons for personal use and seek personal revenge. Such a person in power is not worthy of my service and following. I am afraid that I would rather be Liu Sanlang for the rest of my life than serve as an official."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "Is it so serious? What if I have clear evidence here to prove that he has contact with the demon thief, and that he has participated in a series of treasonous things including the formation of the Black Hand Universe? What if?
Can I prove that he wanted to liaise with foreign countries by borrowing troops from the Later Qin Dynasty, and even wanted to seize the military power of General Liu?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "Because of these past grievances, even if these ironclad facts cannot be used as a reason to kill him, because we cannot prove that these things are treason. In his case, it can be said that this is saving the country."
, and treason is just a charge imposed on him."
Liu Muzhi sneered: "Colluding and cooperating with the mafia, and even following Wang Xun's order to reorganize the mafia world, isn't this treason enough?"
Liu Daogui asked back: "Did Liu Yi, Meng Chang, Xu Xianzhi, and Yu Yue also commit treason? If you want to use the same charge, do you want to kill the four of them first? Tao Yuanming just inherited the Black Hand Qiankun,
I didn't join because Wang Xun was kind to him, and now even my eldest brother has pardoned this gangster Qiankun. It's too reluctant to use this reason to deal with him."
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "Then he had an affair with the enemy country of Later Qin, and then negotiated peace with the enemy country and borrowed troops without the authorization of the imperial court. The condition was to expel and exile the imperial generals, the actual rulers of the Jin Dynasty. Such a serious crime,
Isn’t it enough to kill him?”
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Because the imperial general, the actual person in power of the Jin Dynasty, when the demon thieves rebelled and attacked the city of Jiankang, his people and troops had not yet appeared in Jiankang. My eldest brother personally issued an edict to the world.
He admitted that the rebellion caused by the demon thieves was the result of his Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, allowing the demon thieves to take advantage of the loophole."
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "That was when he first returned to Jiankang. At that time, people were in chaos, but they were temporarily settled because of his return. However, when they saw that his troops were insufficient, some people wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
So Jinnu just took the responsibility on his own initiative. It’s not that he really had to bear these responsibilities. If he really took the responsibility, why was he still under full command of the Jiankang battle?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "It's enough to have this excuse. At least the eldest brother personally recognized the emptiness in the country caused by the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, so he allowed the monster thieves to take advantage of the loophole. If only for this reason, everyone would be in this critical moment."
Look for other ways to save the country, or go back to your hometown to recruit troops, or negotiate peace with the monsters and thieves, or ask the Later Qin Dynasty to send troops to attack the thieves. These are all ways to save the country, and meritorious service is not guilty."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "But Tao Yuanming went to the Later Qin Dynasty to discuss peace, but did not get the authorization from the imperial court. This is a crime of liaison with foreign countries. Even private recruitment of troops must be authorized by the imperial court."
Liu Daogui sighed: "That was the usual procedure, but this time the demon thief defeated Liu Yi and swept across Jiangzhou and Yuzhou. The soldiers directly hit Jiankang. Even the eldest brother did not have time to return to resist. Tao Yuanming was there at the time.
In other places, how could he have time to go back to the court to ask for instructions and obtain authorization? Besides, he was a civilian at that time and had no official status, but he was willing to share the worries of the official and took the initiative to lead the Qin army to rescue the country, even if he fired some outrageous weapons
Conditions, you don't have to admit it afterwards. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the merchant Xian Gao of the Zheng State had a secret meeting with the Qin army who came to destroy the Zheng State in an emergency, and falsely claimed that he was an envoy of the Zheng State and came to work for the army. This confused the Qin Dynasty.
Army, did you save Zheng Guo? With these precedents, if you kill Tao Yuanming, the world will definitely be unjust!"
At this point, Liu Daogui curled up his lips: "Also, Tao Yuanming had an affair with the Later Qin Dynasty and set these conditions for the eldest brother to step down. For this crime, during the Jiankang Defense War, the eldest brother did not kill Tao Yuanming because of it, but just let him
When he was imprisoned, compared with Wei Shunzhi's execution, it can be said that he has clearly made it clear to the world who is a capital offender and who cannot be killed. He was not killed at that time, but now he has to be executed. This is even more unconvincing."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Because this time he followed Xu Daofu's men and fled to Jingzhou. It can even be said that he was rescued by Xu Daofu. This reason is enough to make him dead." ()
