Chapter 2480: The Conquest of Ritual and Music by the Emperor
Yin Zhongwen said with a sad face: "However, if you go to the table now to persuade us to join, you will probably die. Even if you express your attitude, Liu Yu is unlikely to proclaim himself emperor now. It is very likely that he will kill him first after testing the reactions of all parties."
I."
Tao Yuanming smiled mysteriously: "Smart people have to fight with wits rather than strength. Don't be so simple and direct. Mr. Yin, did you ever think of a sentence that says that the conquest of ritual and music comes from the emperor?"
Yin Zhongwen's eyes lit up: "What do you mean...?"
Tao Yuanming stroked his goatee with satisfaction: "Yin Gong, a few days ago, Murong Chao, the Lord of Nanyan, sent Minister Han Fan to the Later Qin Dynasty to discuss the matter of bringing back Murong Chao's mother and wife. Do you know
, What conditions did Hou Qin propose?"
Yin Zhongwen said in surprise: "I don't know. Hey, Mr. Tao, you have resigned from office, how come you still know these things?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "In order to go to the Later Qin Dynasty as an envoy, I left some informants in the Qin State. Now they are also reporting some military information of the Qin State to me. This matter is a formal meeting of the Qin State, and it is not a secret.
, Even our Jin Dynasty, senior generals like Liu Yu and Liu Yi should have known about it for a long time. Of course, Yin Gong is not in the court now, so it is not surprising that he does not know these foreign things."
A trace of jealousy flashed across Yin Zhongwen's face, and he turned to smile and said: "Then tell me quickly, what are the conditions for the opening of the Qin State? If I have not been in the court for a long time, my ears and eyes will soon die."
Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Yao Xing, the Lord of the Later Qin Dynasty, has two conditions for his resignation. One is that Nan Yan needs to become a vassal of the Later Qin Dynasty, and the other is that Nan Yan needs to hand over the royal band of the former Jin Dynasty that it has always retained. Only in this way can we let go.
people."
Yin Zhongwen widened his eyes: "Ah, what you said is the opposite. It turns out that the royal band has been passed down from generation to generation since the Eastern Han Dynasty. It symbolizes the dynasty's history and is almost comparable to the imperial seal? Now it is actually
It was in Nanyan. I still remember that when Murong De came to Qi, he relied on this band. He said that he was Zhengsu, and many local wealthy people gave up their resistance and took the initiative to join."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, the music itself does not mean anything, but since ancient times? Ritual music has been conquered since the emperor came out? This band represents Zhengsu. Even Hulu and Qiang thieves like Yao Xing, the leader of the Later Qin Dynasty, know this
Point? In fact, Liu Yu has no ideas and is a big boss. He may not be aware of this himself. He was in the army for a long time. Apart from military music and drums, he doesn’t know any other music."
"But you can just take this opportunity to advise Liu Yu, saying that since Yongjia, China has been destroyed? Ritual and music have collapsed? Which led to such a great rebellion as the Huan family usurped the country? So now the country is stable? Ritual and music need to be remade, and
Military campaigns also require high-pitched and passionate music to inspire and uplift people. So? Please ask him to order that you be responsible for formulating this ritual music, selecting musicians, retrieving the music scores of previous generations, correcting the music, and rebuilding the Jin Dynasty.
band."
Yin Zhongwen laughed: "I'm the best at this. I have a lot of music scores for all kinds of elegant music in ancient times. Even the music scores for Guanglingsan, I still have them here. I used to just entertain myself.
, but since we want to rebuild the Royal Band, it’s the perfect time.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Now Queen Wang can't find a chance to fight back. You go to Liu Yu and say that you want to remake ritual music and educate all people. Even if Liu Yu can't understand it, Queen Wang will definitely understand the profound meaning.
When the time comes, she will definitely agree to your request. If you do this well, it will be equivalent to once again paying allegiance to the Queen and gaining her trust, and you can use this credit to legitimately ascend to the position. There.
When the time comes, Liu Yu and Queen Wang will definitely entrust you to contact the major aristocratic families and support Liu Yu's ascension to the throne. Only in this way can you get rid of Liu Tingyun's threat to you."
Yin Zhongwen gritted his teeth and was about to take the tea cup in front of him and drink it all in one gulp, but he thought of something again and frowned: "That's not right, Mr. Tao, you just said that because of the lack of teachings on etiquette and music, Huan
Xuan usurped the throne, and in order to educate the people, he had to remake rituals and music. However, by doing so, Liu Yu himself usurped the throne, so this ritual and music..."
Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed coldly: "Yin Gong, Yin Gong, you have to know that this time I asked Queen Wang to facilitate this matter. She can be responsible for taking care of His Majesty's food and daily life every day, as long as she does a little..."
When he said this, he stopped talking, and an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yin Zhongwen gritted his teeth: "She, does she really have such a cruel hand?"
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "In this world, women have always been the most poisonous, and those female historians are so good. Jia Nanfeng in the previous dynasty, in order to protect his own power and the wealth of the Jia family, manipulated Emperor Hui and poisoned the prince.
, and our late emperor’s Zhang Guiren could suffocate the emperor to death with just one joke, and finally escaped unscathed. In the game of power, all human relations and family ties are pale and powerless. The hatred between Empress Wang and Liu Ting is as deep as the sea.
, if you want to protect yourself, you can only do your best to help Liu Yu ascend the throne, and then get rid of Liu Yi and his wife. Only in this way can future troubles be avoided forever. If you think it is not pleasant to mention Huan Xuan usurping the throne, you don't have to mention it."
Yin Zhongwen no longer hesitated, raised his head, drank the current cup of tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "You helped me a lot last time, but in the end I didn't get an official position for you. This time
This time you help me like this, what do you want in return?!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Last time I helped you, I was also helping me. Later, relying on this credit, I asked Liu Yu for the opportunity to join his shogunate. I wanted to make contributions under him, but I found that he did not share my ideas.
So I won't cooperate with him now, but if you can help him ascend the throne through this matter, and then advise him not to abuse people's power and govern the country with benevolence and justice, then I am willing to work for him. When that day comes, you only need to recommend me to be the emperor.
Doctor Shi, patrolling the world and asking for orders for the people, forget about my long-cherished wish in life."
Yin Zhongwen smiled and shook his head and said: "Tao Gong's talent is really the pillar of the Prime Minister and Assistant Minister. A censor is not enough. At least, I have to be a minister of six departments to live up to your talent!"
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you. You have to face Liu Yu in person for this remonstrance, and you cannot go through Liu Muzhi."
Yin Zhongwen was slightly startled: "Why is this?"
Tao Yuanming sighed: "This man is narrow-minded and cannot see anyone who is more talented and meritorious than him. Before and after the last time I went to Hou Qin as an envoy, he sent people to monitor me and collect evidence against me. If you have any suggestions,
When Liu Yu formulates the rituals and music, he will definitely understand his intention and will find excuses to kill you before you do it. Therefore, this matter must be reported to Liu Yu secretly, and Liu Muzhi must not let him know about it.
You know, let alone let people know that it was me who gave you the idea, otherwise, I'm afraid a big disaster is about to happen, so remember it!"
Yin Zhongwen nodded vigorously: "I will follow Mr. Tao's teachings and I will go see Liu Zhenjun tomorrow!"
A smile flashed across Tao Yuanming's face, and he raised the tea cup in front of him: "I wish Yin Gongma success!"
