Liu Daogui's face was solemn and he looked at Liu Muzhi motionless: "Do you have enough evidence to prove that Tao Yuanming was rescued by Xu Daofan?"
Liu Muzhi sneered and said: "All the guards guarding him are dead. He is the only one who has disappeared. He was not rescued by Xu Daofan. What other reason is there? If he is an official or celebrity of Jin Dynasty, he falls into the hands of demon thieves
, if he rebels and surrenders, he will be announced to the world. If he would rather die than surrender, he will be beheaded and reported to all counties. Tao Yuanming is neither of these two situations. In addition to colluding with the monsters and thieves from the beginning, there is something else.
Reason?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "If he colluded with the demon thieves from the beginning, why did he secretly communicate with Later Qin and discuss using Qin soldiers to attack the demon thieves? Isn't this unnecessary?"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped: "That's just acting. I want to use this agreement with the Later Qin Dynasty to trick the court into ordering the slave to be exiled or to seize his military power. Without the slave, I
Slave, the Great Jin Dynasty will naturally be wiped out. The so-called Later Qin army that attacked the demon thieves will join forces with the demon thieves to capture Jiankang and destroy our Jin Dynasty. This kind of diplomatic behavior is not publicly recognized by the country. He, a scholar in the opposition, can
Isn’t there a huge conspiracy behind this decision?”
Liu Daogui nodded: "Even if what you said makes sense, the Sima Guofan, Sima Chuzhi and other Sima clan rebels he attracted have sworn hatred against the demon thief, so how can they cooperate together?"
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "As long as Liu Yu can be eliminated first, it is not impossible for the demon thieves to cooperate with the Sima clan. After all, it was only Sima Daozi who ordered their extermination before. Sima Yuanxian and his son do not represent all Sima clan.
What's more, the Later Qin Dynasty had taken in Huan Qian before, and Diao Yong, who had been their enemies in the Jin Dynasty and had deep hatred, also borrowed troops to escort Huan Qian back to Jingzhou. This was just one moment and the other.
It's just mutual use. Tao Yuanming, a scholar with no real power and only a false name, actually went to the Later Qin Dynasty to borrow troops. Isn't this questionable? If there wasn't a powerful group and huge power behind him, how could An have been like this? "
Liu Daogui shook his head: "These are just your guesses, not evidence. If these things were not found out in Jiankang, it is even less likely that they will be found out now. Tao Yuanming was hit by Liu Tingyun's sword and almost died
, and he was hit by the sword because he took the initiative to call for help. This must have been before he was hit by the sword, because you said that he could not cry out after being so seriously injured, so he could not have anything to do with Liu Tingyun and the Tiandao Alliance behind him.
Come on, these speculations of yours are hard to convince the public."
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "Just because he rescued Xu Daofan instead of being executed, he can be convicted. The demon thief killed the guard, but he disappeared. How do you explain it? If it's true like you
As you said, he is a loyal minister and good official of the Jin Dynasty, so the demon thief should kill him on the spot."
Liu Daogui sighed: "You have already said that Tao Yuanming was seriously injured and was in bed for treatment. Moreover, the demon thieves raided the Meng Mansion at that time. I am afraid that the earliest target was not for him. Is there anyone else in the Meng Mansion?
An important person?"
Liu Muzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Xie Hui, who was in charge of the city's espionage and intelligence work at that time, set up a temporary command post in the Meng Mansion, because the Meng Mansion served as a military base after the Northern Expedition.
The highest civil servant who stayed behind was convenient for handling official duties and commanding. Even after Meng Chang died, Xie Hui, who was commanding outside the palace, also set up his official office in the Meng Mansion because of these conveniences. If you say so, then it is true that these killers
Maybe he came for Xie Hui, but he still took Tao Yuanming away, how do you explain this?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "That's it. They came for Xie Hui, but they missed it. Tao Yuanming is a famous person in the world after all, and maybe because of his relationship with White Tiger King Xun, Xu Daofu either thought he had something
Some of the resources left by White Tiger may be to borrow his people in hopes of conquering Jingzhou in the future, which is quite understandable, but I’m afraid Tao Yuanming did not cooperate with Xu Daofu in carrying out this kind of propaganda.”
Liu Muzhi stamped his feet bitterly: "In any case, even if the reason is a bit reluctant, we can't let Tao Yuanming go this time. We won't kill him unless he uses the reason of fleeing Jiankang with the enemy to escape.
This person will cause more and more trouble!"
Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "This man has been under our surveillance for a long time and cannot escape. What trouble can he cause? He is just a scholar. He can write a few bad poems at most and how can he turn the world upside down?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Dao rules, you really don't know the influence of these literati and famous people in the world. Tao Yuanming, a famous person, and those who like to travel in black clothes, only talk openly among the upper class
Unlike the descendants of Xuan's aristocratic family, he has always gone deep into the people, visited various townships and villages, pretended to plead for the people, and wrote these poems that reflected the suffering of the people. His lethality was a hundred times that of the literati from the aristocratic family."
Liu Daogui raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "Aren't these good things? In this troubled world, people's livelihood is very difficult. Even my eldest brother admits this, but aren't we working hard to change these situations? We are attacking the Hulu.
, Neiping demon thieves, isn't it just to let the common people get peace first and survive and live and work in peace and contentment, and then we allocate the land occupied by these aristocratic families and powerful people to the common people and let them farm and make a living, isn't life getting better?
Is that so? If Tao Yuanming only wrote about how difficult people's livelihood was and didn't write about how things got better, then the people would naturally not believe him, so what should they be afraid of?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes were as bright as fire, and he looked directly at Liu Daogui's face: "Daogui, please speak your conscience. If you don't talk about other places, just Jingzhou. Do you really dare to say that life is better now than before?"
Liu Daogui laughed and said: "In the past few years when I was in power in Jingzhou, I dare not say that I have made the people live a good life, but at least it is better than when Huan Xuan usurped and rebelled, compared with the civil war in Changdao, when the three heroes of Jingzhou stood side by side, and the wars continued.
It should be a lot better than when the Qin Dynasty invaded and the whole of Jingzhou fought back. At least, it is peaceful and stable."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Compared with the previous war, it is a little better, but the improvement is limited. I am not talking about the past two years when the monsters and thieves have caused chaos. I am only talking about the years when you were in power. Do you think the people of Jingzhou have lived a better life?"
How do the taxes and taxes they bear in those days compare with the decades when Huan Wen was in power? They may be temporarily safe and at peace, but how much tax do they have to pay and how many conscripts do they have to collect? For our great cause of the Northern Expedition
, how much sacrifice and dedication have you made?” ()
