Tao Yuanming said coldly: "I don't necessarily want to be the governor of Jingzhou right away. Now Liu Daogui's life and death are unknown. Even if he survives, I'm afraid he won't be qualified to be the governor of Jingzhou. No matter how different our political opinions are, there is one thing.

are the same, that is, we do not want Dajin to experience another storm at this time, not to mention that the final decisive battle with Tianshi Dao will still consume and destroy our country. Even if the subsequent war is victorious, we will still have to face

It is about the conflict between the Eight-Party Party of your Beifu Army and the noble families of the aristocratic families."

"Generals who have made meritorious service in the war must be rewarded according to Liu Yu's rules. Then these guys who only know how to kill and fight but have no political talent will be enfeoffed to various places as before, and then be sent to various places.

The local gentry were resisted by the powerful people, and ended up in a mess. Not only would it not play its due role in the country, but it would also damage your reputation. In the end, in a full circle, these places and power must be returned to the gentry.

Do you want to do this again?"

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Things are not as exaggerated as you said. The wars in recent years are different from before. Many middle- and lower-class nobles saw the hope of making achievements after joining the army, so they took the initiative to join the army and serve as

Officers, if you join the army, they will follow the generals who have been rewarded for their meritorious service, continue to be their staff, take up posts in the local area, manage political affairs, and will not mess up the local administration like before."

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "If you are a scholar, you will definitely not be willing to live under these vulgar warriors for a long time. Of course, your brother Mu is willing to follow Liu Yu. This is your freedom, but your situation is rare. There are

How can a truly talented scholar be willing to hang out with, or even be ranked below, those generals who don't know how to read a few characters all day long? This is an irresolvable contradiction, at least, in recent years, under your Lan Xiang

It cannot be solved until the official schools can provide a large number of talents."

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this. We will still push forward with the officials and knights that should be awarded. It cannot be said that the soldiers who made meritorious deeds will get nothing in the end, but they will take advantage of those who are hiding behind

We can watch the excitement from behind, or at most we can only provide some money and food for the noble families. Of course, we will set aside part of the territory and give official positions to nobles who have made contributions, such as Yu Yue, who formed the army twice and served the country.

, if he performs meritorious service again later when he suppresses the demon thieves, then it is a matter of course that he will be given the title of governor of Dazhou."

Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "Yu Yue will not be willing to cooperate with you. What happened to Zhu Chaoshi last time hurt him too deeply. Moreover, he is also one of the heads of the family. He wants to control a large state by himself. If the army gives

If he loses your Beifu Army, then even if he gets the governorship, he will be just a bicycle governor. I have negotiated terms with Yu Yue. If he gets the governorship of Jingzhou or the governor of a big state like Yuzhou, he will take over the Yu family of Wu.

, most of them moved to new states and counties to enhance the strength of their Yu family."

Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean, Yu Yue is willing to use a newly appointed big state in exchange for their Yu family's property in Wudi? Is this your idea?"

Tao Yuanming laughed: "Of course, otherwise with Yu Yue's intelligence and greed, how would he have thought of this? He also wanted to restore the glory of the Yu family's ancestors, and the most prosperous time of the Yu family was when the three Yus controlled the government internally and controlled external affairs.

When he was in Jingzhou, if Yu Yue had a choice, he would definitely want to take over as the governor of Jingzhou. The reason why I was willing to join his shogunate and be his chief governor was actually because he wanted me to take over after him.

Jingzhou."

At this point, Tao Yuanming stopped smiling: "But I know that you will not really give Jingzhou to Yu Yue. This place is too important. If it falls into the hands of unreliable people, you can raise troops to separate the country at any time.

Even when he entered Tuyangzhou, Liu Daogui was the governor of Jingzhou in Liu Yu's mind. However, this time he was seriously injured and his life was probably at risk. He can no longer be the governor."

Liu Muzhi said coldly: "Yuanming, you didn't see Daogui's injury with your own eyes, and you didn't catch up with this battle. Where did you get the news that Daogui was not good?"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "When Daogui was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, Luo Longsheng and the others were fighting with him on the battlefield. Although the news was blocked, it could not be hidden from these people on the battlefield. If Daogui was dead, then

At this time, there will inevitably be a funeral, and a new governor will be replaced at the same time. If Daogui can be in charge, even if he is forced to do so, he will make a show to reassure people. Therefore, I conclude that Liu Daogui is neither dead nor cured.

This arrow from Daofu will probably turn him into someone like Sima Dezong forever."

Liu Muzhi said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about it. Daogui Ji has his own destiny, and I have seen his condition. He can recover with a little care. However, for the post of Jingzhou governor, we

I want to hand it over to someone else. Dao Gui has made great achievements and he should be promoted back to Beijing to take over other important positions. The position of governor of Jingzhou is given to ministers who have made meritorious deeds based on their merits."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Then is this meritorious minister Yu Yue, Lu Zongzhi, or Liu Yi?"

Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "These three are not suitable. As for the candidates, I think Jinu and Miaoyin will find the most suitable one and the one that can best balance all parties. Yu Yue's own talents are not enough to control the post-war situation.

Jingzhou cannot handle the two things of conquering Qiaoshu in the west and frightening Lu Zong of Yongzhou. Even if you are willing to help him, Yu Yue can't do it. Therefore, the most we can give Yu Yue is the governor of Yuzhou or Jiangzhou. You can

Help him pick one."

Tao Yuanming softly said "Oh": "So, first of all, you have no objection to Luo Longsheng taking charge of Yu Yue's army? You will not arrest me again for any crime of liaison with the enemy. You can allow me to go to Yu Yue."

Are you going to join the army or have a long history in Yue's army?"

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Since I agreed to negotiate and make a deal with you, I will definitely make some concessions. The war is still going on. Peace is the most important thing in everything. Even if you are from the Tiandao Alliance, this time I will

I can let you go once, as I said before, we can reconcile with the Black Hand Qiankun, and it is possible to coexist with the Tiandao Alliance, provided that they give up the plan of causing trouble to the world and being our enemy."

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "I have nothing to do with the Tiandao Alliance. It's useless for you to tell me this. But if you are willing to give Yu Yue a big state so that the aristocratic family and noble clans have a chance to revive, then I can't help but wish for it!" (End of Chapter)
