Liu Muzhi pondered for a moment and said: "You are not a minister of the Jin State, or even a current official, but a prisoner who has been seriously injured, and can even be said to be still in prison. At most, he is just a famous scholar, and you are worthy of being punished.
Do you want to commit such a deadly attack?"
Tao Yuanming smiled bitterly and said: "According to Lu Xun's wishes, if I go to borrow troops from Later Qin to attack them, they are the biggest enemy. No matter whether I am of the same mind as Liu Jinu or not, I am still standing for the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty is the biggest enemy."
Even their biggest enemy, their feud with Liu Yu is just because Liu Yu is the top general of the Jin Dynasty. As for me being imprisoned, it is an internal struggle for power and line within the Jin State, and they don't care about that."
"Moreover, Liu Tingyun died because of me. The fact that I was seriously injured is the best proof. The Tiandao League is their ally or subordinate of the Tianshi Dao. Even Xu Daofu's attack on the city was coordinated with Doupeng Liyingwai. Since I
Not cooperating with the Tiandao Alliance and calling for help, which resulted in Liu Tingyun being shot and killed by Meng Chang with a machine gun, then Liu Tingyun’s death will be blamed on me.”
"In the end, I was captured by them above the Meng Mansion. Since the siege of Jiankang, the Meng Mansion has been the office and command post of Meng Chang and Xie Hui. It is also their mortal enemy of Tianshi Dao. I am here
Whether they are recovering there or being imprisoned, they are Xie Hui's accomplices. Many of them died when they went to assassinate Xie Hui, but they didn't meet him and only caught me. Then I should be allowed to die by Xie Hui so that I can die.
Fellow Taoists, please explain."
Yu Yue laughed: "It sounds reasonable. Tao Gong, you are really lucky not to become braised pork."
Tao Yuanming smiled bitterly and said: "I almost fainted from fright at that time, and you are still here laughing at me."
Liu Muzhi sneered: "When did Mr. Tao's courage weaken? In my impression, you go in and out of the den of tigers and wolves without changing your expression. Even if you are angry at General Liu in public, you will be hated by many generals present.
Even if you swarm up and beat him to death, you can be calm and calm."
Tao Yuanming curled up his lips: "I have said it before, in those situations, either they knew that I was the envoy and Dajin was my backing, so Yao Xing did not dare to kill me easily, or he knew that he was facing one of his own people, so he didn't
If I break the law, General Liu and Brother Mu cannot take my life casually. That's why I have the courage."
"But this time I'm facing demon thieves, those vicious devils who can really eat people. If I say a wrong word, I will really die. How can I be so calm and calm?"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's not talk about this. If Xu Daofu wanted to kill you, he would have killed you long ago. The reason why he opened his mouth to tell you this must be first
I want to sell you a favor and gain the upper hand in terms of momentum, and then the formal conditions for cooperation with you will be."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and said: "Actually, after I almost fainted from fright, I thought about it and realized that I had the same understanding as Brother Mu. Why do they have to talk nonsense with me if they want to kill me? Before executing a death row prisoner, he must talk to me
What did he say? So, since I did not die in the hands of Lu Xun, and since Xu Daofu came to see me in person, he must want to get something from me, so I said directly, what Marshal Xu wanted to say, there is no need to say so.
Show me your kindness. As a Jin person, I have received the salary of the Jin Dynasty. It is only natural and right to serve the Jin Dynasty. If you want to kill me because of these, then I am afraid that no one in the Tianshi Dao will mention loyalty and righteousness to these ministers again in the future.
The way.”
"Xu Daofu's face changed slightly after hearing this, so he waved his hand and backed away. At this time, I knew that he was going to have a real talk with me. Sure enough, Xu Daofu came up and asked me, saying that he knew that I didn't want to talk to him.
Cooperating with Liu Yu, serving Liu Yu, or even openly withdrawing from Liu Yu's military government is tantamount to announcing the break between the world and Liu Yu, so why should we fight against them again?"
"I just said that I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty and have been favored by the country in my life. My ancestor Kangong served as a county official and finally served as the governor of Jingzhou. He is powerful in the world and has a name that will go down in history. Our Tao family must focus on the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Yu is a general.
But I want to change the national laws and rules that have been in power since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. This is something I cannot accept, so I will not serve Liu Yu, but it does not mean that I will not protect the Jin Dynasty. This is why I am here.
The reason why Hou Qin even went so far as to bear the infamy and secretly borrowed troops from the Qin army to attack Tianshi Dao. Now that it has fallen into their hands, it is up to them to decide whether to kill or behead him."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "What you said is very good and well-founded. However, Xu Daofu is not the kind of person who will pity loyal ministers and righteous men. Many loyal and unyielding captured officials and generals have been killed by him, so I
I want to know the reason why Mr. Tao survived. Don't worry, even if you are in the enemy camp and pretend to surrender for a moment, I can understand it. After all, Zhu Chaoshi has gone through such a process. As long as he does it in the end, he is not guilty.
.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Brother Mu, things may be a little different from what you think. Xu Daofu actually talked to me about the truth. I knew from the beginning that his purpose was to induce me to surrender. As for asking me
I don’t know what he’s doing, but there’s definitely a reason why I’m not being killed. After all, I’m a bit famous and a bit arrogant. How to persuade me to cooperate while retaining my arrogance is also a challenge for him.
test."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Oh, I'm quite interested in hearing how Xu Daofu got Tao Gong to cooperate with him. I also have to learn this eloquence. Maybe I will use it in the future."
Tao Yuanming said slowly: "After Xu Daofu listened to my words, he began to say that in fact, the world has always misunderstood their Celestial Masters, especially under the propaganda of the Jin Dynasty, they were described as evil ghosts and evil gods.
Same, in fact, the Tao of Heavenly Masters they believe in is not the kind of cannibalistic cult. Although the intercourse between heaven and man is a Taoist teaching, it is Taoism in itself, and the love between a man and a woman is a Taoist practice since ancient times.
Things that happened at that time, and family ethics appeared later. What they did was not considered treasonous, but it was just offensive to outsiders, but Wudi itself has had various mulberry forests since ancient times.
Drama is not unique to Tianshi Dao. Those who join the religion also participate in these rituals voluntarily, and they are not forced."
"When I heard what I heard, I knew it was forceful talk, but I didn't want to get entangled with them anymore. He just said that they tortured officials, slaughtered generals and prisoners, and even ate their flesh raw. Just now he said that if he hadn't begged for mercy, I would have been killed.
I chopped it into meat sauce for Lu Xun and gave it to others. Is this also a misunderstanding?" ()
