Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu shook his head: "You are half right, I have been a thief, and I have been my enemy. These are not unforgivable crimes. It is myself, and of course I was forced to be loyal to Huan Xuan. Tianshidao was in Wudi. Raising an army, almost everyone responded, that is because for many years the aristocratic family has caused anger and resentment in Wu land. Even at the beginning of the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains family from the north used various tricks to crowd out the nobles of Wu land and plunder their manor and fields. , with the power of Tianshidao to give them a head start, naturally they are servants like clouds, and the Shen family, as the representative of the local nobles in Wu, naturally cannot avoid it."

Liu Muzhi frowned: "Isn't this enough? Joining a demon thief and joining Huan Xuan are two different things. Huan Xuan is still an official even after usurping the throne, and the Shen family is a rebel. ."

Liu Yu laughed: "If you want to talk about the identity of the rebel, then I was living in the grasslands and married the princess of the enemy country. When Ah Shou was forced to flee to Nanyan to seek asylum, if you want to talk about treason, Ah Shou and I are comparable. The Shen brothers have gone further, they can be said to be intimidating the demon thief, and we took the initiative to flee to the enemy country."

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "These are just superficial reasons. In fact, what I want to say is that the Shen brothers were born in Wudi, and they didn't join the Beifu from the beginning, nor are you old brothers of the Beifu who have come all the way. Although he joined later, after all, compared to the Tan family brothers, he is half an outsider, and you know that."

Liu Yu nodded: "This is indeed a reason, but it's not just his Shen brothers, you really have to count, Wang Zhen'e, Zhu Lingshi are also in the same situation, if it is a condition of pure Beifu, then only Tan Daoji meets this requirement."

Liu Muzhi smiled and said, "So, there is another reason why you don't let go and use Shen Tianzi. Because of his lack of power and irritability, is he always wrong with Wang Zhen?"

Liu Yu sighed: "This is the reason for ranking second, Shen Tianzi is very good in general Wushuai, whether it is the art of war or martial arts, he is top-notch, and it can be said that he is the one who looks the most like me overall. However, there are two reasons why I cannot choose him as his heir."

Liu Muzhi's eyes sparkled, and he said solemnly, "I listen to your reasons."

Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "This is number one, since the Shen brothers have always respected me very much and regarded me as a savior, but to others, whether it's you or Xile, Wuji and them, Not so respectful, in other words, they only obey me, not necessarily subordinate to others. One of the most obvious things is that when their brothers returned home, they still went to kill their father and grandfather who betrayed them back then, despite the court's pardon order. The entire family of enemies. Therefore, Shen Yuanzi, as the eldest brother, resigned and sacked the title, and he could not go home and live in seclusion."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing. Back then, this incident was a big deal, and even made many thieves who originally surrendered to the village to protect themselves. In order to quell the subsequent influence, I But it took a lot of hard work, and even allowed Wu Di to waive the grain tax for another half a year, and it was barely settled. To be honest, I wanted to kill the Shen brothers and use their heads to calm it down. rebellion."

Liu Yu said sternly: "I have repeatedly stressed to the Shen brothers that in extraordinary times, there can be no recurrence of incidents, and they must not miss state affairs for the sake of filial piety, but they still did not listen to my dissuasion, agreed in person, and started killing people after returning to their hometowns. And it was definitely not the impulsiveness of what they said later, or that the traitor ran rampant in the village. In fact, they were already prepared, and when they returned to their hometown, they brought their subordinates with them, disguised as foreign knights, and attacked and killed the entire family of the enemy. In the Western Expedition, I didn't want to panic the soldiers who surrendered and surrendered, so I didn't go into it, otherwise, I really should use two heads to quell the subsequent turmoil, and it won't make you embarrassed."

Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "So from this matter, you have decided that the Shen brothers are only trying to rejoice in favor and hatred, regardless of the overall situation, are they not the ones who can be entrusted with important responsibilities?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "Do you really think that they wanted to take revenge because of impulsiveness or because they couldn't let go of their father's and ancestors' revenge? Do you really think this is just for filial piety?"

Liu Muzhi laughed: "If you want to take revenge for killing your father and grandfather, it should be aimed at you, and at Liu Laozhi. After all, that traitor neighbor just reported it, and it was Liu Laozhi who committed the murder. It was you who led the troops to hunt down the prisoners taken by your father and grandfather to the camp."

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, so in the name of filial piety and revenge, it is actually a benefit. The traitor was rewarded by the court at that time because he reported their family, and he suddenly became a local tycoon. It also took away the land that the Shen brothers had passed down from generation to generation. In name, it was for the imperial court to confiscate the property of the rebels, but in fact it returned to his own home as a village official. If it weren't for the Shen brothers Later, he surrendered to me, made meritorious deeds, and became a general, I am afraid that even the ancestral home of the Shen family, the traitor would not let it out."

Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, there were a lot of situations like this back then. If the children of noble families and the tycoons in the countryside were not dead, they would wantonly seize the property of the local tyrants who had been demon thieves on the charge of subordination. In order to deal with these Disputes, I don't have a lot of effort, the Shen brothers are the most troubled one, after all, the impact of killing the blood is too great."

Liu Yu sighed: "So they found a reason to avenge their father and grandfather, killed the other party Man Clan, and the timing of the action was picked after I avenged Xie Tingyun and killed the Wang Family Man Clan, if you want to deal with them, you have to deal with them. I myself, I have to say, their brothers acted after a plan and thought carefully, and they were definitely not the actions of those kind of mindless and reckless men."

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "So, Shen Tianzi is always against Wang Zhen, and even Zhu Lingshi's brother can't get along, isn't he as rude and impulsive as he looks?"

Liu Yu smiled and said: "It's natural, Wang Zhenye, Zhu Lingshi, Shen Tianzi have always attacked in public, but they never come to me in private to remind them to beware or restrict them, fat man, do you think this means what?"

Liu Muzhi raised his eyebrows: "This shows that Shen Tianzi is a big man with great wisdom. To question Wang and Zhu in public will cause all the generals to follow his accusations to warn them, and these two are among the younger generation. The two who pose the greatest threat to Shen Tianzi's status, exposing their shortcomings is to cut off the support of other people for them, in the final analysis, it is still for himself."Click to download This site APP, massive novels, free to read!
