Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 5006: Class position is destined

Liu Daogui's lips curled up slightly and he said: "This is true in Qingzhou, but can't the same be true for Tao Yuanming? His collusion with foreign countries and liaison with the enemy is ironclad, and he has admitted it. As for Xu Daofu, Regardless of whether he took the initiative or not, it is a fact. If we made a good deal with Yu Yue, then Tao Yuanming would not surrender to Yousi and instead come to meet you secretly. This is obviously a conspiracy. To rectify the law on the spot, isn’t it just like Qingzhou’s killing of Han Fan and the closure of the border area?”

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Tao rules, different things, it seems that they are all punished according to national law for the crime of liaison with foreign countries, but in fact, in Qingzhou, almost all other families want to overthrow Han Fan, Feng Jiang, and even the Han family and some tributary common people of the Feng family also participated in the joint signature. Firstly, they wanted to clear away their own connections and avoid being implicated. Secondly, they also wanted to take this opportunity to seize the title of head of the family. The human heart is sinister and complex. I was frightened when I saw these secret reports. Even Han Fan, Fengjiang's father and ancestors, colluded and surrendered to foreign enemies such as Cao Yi and Shi Hu in the late Western Jin Dynasty. , it’s all clearly taken out.”

Liu Daogui took a breath of air: "So powerful? The old accounts from a hundred years ago can be uncovered."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the evidence of the crimes of these surrendering traitors, including who was the instigator, who carried out the execution, and how much benefit they received afterwards, are all clearly stated, because their ancestors may have sealed the border with Han Fan a hundred years ago. The ancestors of these direct descendants are brothers, and arrangements and choices are made within the family. In order to protect the interests of the family and ensure that whether it is a victory when foreign enemies invade, or the last laugh is to stick to the local area, different sons will be arranged to stand in different camps. Some resisted with all their strength to show their loyalty, while others became traitors and traitors. In the end, those who resisted with all their strength often ended up miserable. Even if they did not die, they would still have to lose a lot of land and people. So in the end, Those who hate Han Fan and Feng Jiang are not the powerful ones with foreign surnames, but their brothers from the same clan. Although they have been in the fifth server for a long time, they still have the same surname Han and Feng. "

Liu Daogui sighed: "It sounds incredible, but human nature is like this. Jealousy is always the easiest thing to cause internal divisions and fratricide. Think about it from the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty to the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty. Isn't this the case all the time?" Is that why the eldest brother has always taught us that we must work together as brothers? Even if the second brother goes too far and even damages the eldest brother's reputation, we have never really dealt with him according to the national law. I know that many people use this matter to laugh at the eldest brother. The national law only targets outsiders, not yourself. I also hate my second brother for his greed and failure, but it is still right to focus on family ties. "

Liu Muzhi said coldly: "For Ji Nu, his closest brothers are not you by blood, but his comrades who have been with him through life and death on the battlefield and share the same hatred of the enemy. It's not like he has never used beheading. He expressed his pity to the world to show his determination to fight corruption and never allow meat-eaters to oppress the people. But after thinking about it again and again, he gave up, because if there is no filial piety, how can a person be loyal to himself? Our closest relatives are ruthless, so who can’t be killed or given up? Such people will make people feel terrible, and it is impossible to truly win the hearts of the people. After all, our values ​​and the moral principles that maintain our interpersonal relationships are all based on Loyalty and filial piety are paramount.”…. .

Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi said seriously: "So, the situation in Qingzhou is also paradoxical with Tao Yuanming's situation. Han Fan and Fengjiang offended almost all the powerful people in Qingzhou, including their fellow sects, and they ended up in this end. , unless I am crazy and want to offend the entire Qingzhou powerful people for their two families. Firstly, to maintain stability, and secondly, to deter the Qingzhou powerful people. What should I do and what should I not do next time when a foreign enemy comes? What. The third thing is to take the opportunity to take back some of their territory and people, strengthen the imperial court's strength in Qingzhou, and also provide some benefits to other powerful people to win over people's hearts."

"But Tao Yuanming is not like this. He has been fighting against us. He keeps saying that he is doing it to protect the world, to maintain the hierarchy stipulated in the Confucian Zhou Rites, and to safeguard the interests of the powerful and wealthy people in the world. Just. Like Yu Yue, he knew clearly that he was using the money, food and manpower of the Yu family to achieve Tao Yuanming's success, but he still willingly supported Tao Yuanming. Why? Isn't it because Tao Yuanming is fighting against us to continue the continuation of a family like the Yu family? Maintain or even strive for a higher status.”

Liu Daogui shook his head: "That's just Tao Yuanming talking to himself. Basically, he is doing it for himself, because he has no power and only a false name. He wants to realize his ambition to rule a big state. , that’s just a dream.”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "But now this dream is about to come true. Because if it were changed in the past, the aristocratic family controlled everyone in the world, and controlled and managed the next level of powerful and small landlords layer by layer according to the hierarchical system. At levels such as Zhuangtou, these lower-class nobles and even high-level Han people will manage the common people. If it weren't for the Battle of Feishui, people like us would never be able to get ahead. "

"But after having the slaves, it gave us lower-class scholars and ordinary people the hope to come forward, like a ray of light in the dark night. Now we are in high positions, and even control the country and the army. , we would not have dared to dream about what we are today thirty years ago.”

Liu Daogui said with a smile: "This is indeed brought about by eldest brother, so in my heart now, he is a god-like existence. Not only me, but almost all the brothers in Beifu think so, even if eldest brother orders them to go They don't hesitate to die." When he said this, Liu Daogui's eyes shone, "It's the same for me."

Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Yes, but what your elder brother fought for for us people was taken from the hands of those high-ranking families. The more grateful we are to him, the more capable those high-ranking families, the middle- and upper-class nobles will be. Hate him. This is a contradiction caused by different positions and cannot be reconciled. Apart from the unique head of the family like Mrs. I support your elder brother. Therefore, the noble family and the noble class will regard your elder brother as their enemy, and regard people like Tao Yuanming as their greatest helper!" (End of Chapter)
