Chapter 164 Even aristocratic families have difficulty reciting sutras
Liu Yu looked at Xie Xuan, and his calm voice came to his ears: "Xiao Yu, in fact, all people are born the same, there is no difference between them. Children of aristocratic families are higher than ordinary people because of their background, and outsiders are
I thought it was because of arrogance and extravagance, and there are indeed black sheep like the Diao family, but you have to remember that our Dajin family has always been a family that shares the world with the emperor. As a top ruling family, we will not harm the interests of the country to satisfy our own family.
Selfish."
"Just like this time, the Jin Dynasty is facing danger. Not only you Jingkou righteous men, but we, the sons of high-ranking families, also have to go to danger for the country. Even Miaoyin, as a woman, also took the initiative to volunteer and wanted to contribute to the country. This
This is also the fundamental reason why I arranged for her to go with you this time. After all, the Murong family is a former royal family in the north, so they are relatively recognized."
Having said this, Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course, I have my own considerations in arranging this. If I hadn't arranged for you to accompany me all the way, I think Xiaoyu wouldn't have developed an admiration for Miaoyin."
Liu Yu's face turned slightly red and he looked at Wang Miaoyin. He saw that the lady was also looking at him infatuatedly, their eyes facing each other. Wang Miaoyin lowered his head gently and just fiddled with the corner of his clothes, looking at Liu Yu.
Yu's deep affection was self-evident. Liu Yu was not an idiot who was completely ignorant of the affairs of men and women. It became clear at this moment that Wang Miaoyin was also interested in him.
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Actually, my niece has been different from other noble girls from aristocratic families since she was a child. Maybe it's because my eldest sister has extraordinary magnanimity, so her daughter does not dislike recklessness like other young ladies.
A hero, she always said, would never marry a non-hero in this life. Such heroes are becoming more and more difficult to find among aristocratic families."
At this point, Xie Xuan's expression turned gloomy, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Over the years, the number of Hu cavalry from the north going south has become less and less. Between the north and the south, there have been nearly two
Ten years of peace have meant that many of the upper-class families have forgotten the war. In Si'an, the children of high-ranking families do not have the sense of crisis that we had when we were young. They are indolent, talk about mystical doctrines, and are averse to military affairs. Except for a few children of general families,
It’s hard to find anyone who can be called a hero anymore.”
Wang Miaoyin lightly opened her red lips and said: "There is no need to say this, uncle. Miaoyin has seen that there are still talented people among the children of the family. Not to mention Huanxuan from Jingzhou, he is the son of my husband, my cousin Xie Yan, isn't it?
A talented person with both civil and military skills?"
Xie Xuan sighed: "On the surface, Yuandu (Xie Yan's nickname) is not bad, but he has an arrogant personality and looks down on people from humble backgrounds. If nothing else, he will not even look down on veteran generals like Wu Zhong.
Take it seriously, this will cause big trouble in the future, and if he fails in the future, it will definitely be because of this."
Having said this, he raised his head and looked at Liu Yu: "Most of the children of the aristocratic families hate the military and are unwilling to join the army, so the person who can control the army in the future must be Xiao Yu. It is the general trend to keep people like this from the army.
In all dynasties, the emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses. Only those who control the army can truly control the power of the country. Even my Xie family can become a top family because the seniors took charge of the army and took back the jade seal. Therefore, Xiaoyu does not need to worry about his identity.
, in the future, maybe you will be above our Xie family, and my nephews and grandchildren may need you to take care of them."
Liu Yu shook his head in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can I be above your Xie family in the future?" Although he said this, there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting, I can really surpass Xuan Shuai.
, surpassing a family like Wang Xie? That snake fairy said that I am the king, is it true?
Wang Miaoyin's eyes were filled with water, and she nodded firmly: "Brother Liu, I am optimistic about you. Your character, martial arts, and resourcefulness are not inferior to any young master from aristocratic families. In this troubled world, this is what makes a hero and a hero.
way."
Xie Xuan nodded: "Miaoyin makes a lot of sense, Xiaoyu, even if a young master like Huan Xuan is like Huan Xuan, he seems to be able to get along well with his subordinates, but that is not from the heart. They only care about those soldiers.
If you want to take advantage of them, you can't really be brothers with them like you. Therefore, only by controlling the hearts of the people can you directly control the army and power. This is why I am really optimistic about you."
Speaking of this, Xie Xuan sighed: "When my fourth uncle Xie Gongbawan led the troops in the Northern Expedition, he looked down upon these generals. At that time, my uncle Xiang, who was accompanying the army on the expedition, advised him several times to make friends with these soldiers, but his attitude was arrogant. After the banquet,
He took Yu Ruyi and pointed it at the soldiers present, and said with a smile, "You are all powerful soldiers." Everyone left the table angrily."
"Although Uncle Xiang tried to make amends after the incident, the people were still divided, and the Northern Expedition failed as a result. After the defeat, the military academies all wanted to kill Fourth Uncle for revenge, but they let him go just for Uncle Xiang's sake. This is
The living example of our Xie family is a profound lesson.”
Liu Yu didn't know that such a thing had happened in the past, and sighed: "The lower-level soldiers of the Jin Dynasty came from the common people. They were all simple men, but they were very sensitive and self-respecting in their hearts. The children of aristocratic families were already above them in power.
It would be too hurtful to ridicule and insult openly again. The same reason why the Diao brothers aroused public outrage in Jingkou."
Xie Xuan nodded: "Yes, so I am optimistic that you can control the army and power in the future, but just controlling the army is not enough for you to become a first-class family, just like Huan Wen, if he did not avenge his father and kill his enemy
, thus gaining the late emperor's approval and marrying the princess to him, the Huan family will not be able to become a big family and a big warlord that dominates Jingzhou."
Having said this, Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Our Xie family, the Wang family is not a royal family, there is no princess, but there are still high-ranking ladies like Miaoyin. If you can marry Miaoyin, it will be no less than when Huan Wen became the consort. This is also my
This is the biggest favor I can do to you."
Liu Yu felt excited in his heart. He looked at Wang Miaoyin and said seriously: "It's just that I don't know what Miss Miaoyin's intention is. I, I..."
Wang Miaoyin's face was slightly red, she lowered her head and whispered like a gnat: "Uncle, Miaoyin, Miaoyin's life-long affairs are all decided by you and your mother."
There was a burst of ecstasy in Liu Yu's heart. No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Wang Miaoyin was really interested in him and was willing to devote himself to him. He only felt that his whole body was floating in the air, and happiness seemed to suddenly fall from the sky, making him feel helpless.
