Chapter 187: Liu Jinu, the half-son of the Xie family
Liu Muzhi's speed of speech was a little faster: "The power and wealth of the world are limited, since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, it has been these northern high-ranking families who have controlled these powers and resources of the country, so that the children of the family can live a decent life." But it also makes them disgusted with military affairs and do not engage in labor, on the one hand, the level and ability of the children of the family are declining, and on the other hand, the country needs warriors who have made meritorious achievements, what will be the result? ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "This is what you said, is the destiny of heaven going to move?" ”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "The changes of dynasties in all dynasties are like this. Even the dynasty cannot be eternal, what is the family gate? On the one hand, after occupying a high position, the enterprising spirit will decline, and the level of the children in the family will slowly decline, and on the other hand, it will face the strong impact of the inferior families below. ”
"Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Langyu Wang, Taiyuan Wang, Yingchuan Yu, Gaoping Xi, and Chenjun Xie. One by one, they ascended to the center of power, and one by one they withdrew, and now it is the turn of the Xie family and the Taiyuan Wang family. As the head of the two families, it is impossible for Xie Xianggong not to think about the future. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "So they fell in love with me? Do you want to show me grace now when I am not promising, so that it can also leave a way back for their family, or extend the time when their family is in power? ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "After all, your surname is Liu and not your surname is Xie, as a small soldier, a small officer worked hard to fight for his fame, but also for the Xie family to work hard, but when you master the heavy army and control the military power of the empire, it is the master and slave transposition, and when the time comes, it is not the Xie family who will come to promote you, it is whether you will let the Xie family continue to maintain the status of a first-class family." ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "I won't have any conflict with the Xie family." After all, I only seek development in the army, not power in the DPRK and China. Speaking of this, he laughed, "As far as my material is concerned, I can't even recognize all the words, if you want to say that it is no problem to fight with bravery, but if you live in a temple and govern the country, then there is no play." ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Huan Wen also thought the same way when he was a teenager, but when he really went on the Northern Expedition three times and held a heavy army, didn't these high-ranking families compete to vote?" Even if he himself is not highly educated, there will be powerful children of the family as his military advisor. It's like that Xi Chao, known as the bearded man who joined the army, is Huan Wen's think tank, and the military advisor, including his plan to usurp the throne, was all formulated by this person! ”
Liu Yu laughed and patted Liu Muzhi's stomach: "So, I will also have a fat man to join the army in the future?!" ”
Liu Muzhi said angrily: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, be serious." I'm not kidding, I mean, if you get to that position, it's bound to be a strong threat to the family in power, and conflict is inevitable. It's not enough for the Xie family to show favor to you now, they have to use another method to firmly control you in their hands and die to the ground! ”
Liu Yu's heart moved: "You mean, marriage? ”
Liu Muzhi nodded very seriously: "That's what I'm talking about, now you understand." Xuan Shuai asked the daughter of the Xie family to walk with you all the way, just to deliberately marry this daughter to you, if you marry her, you can become the son-in-law of the Gaomen family in one leap, and no one dares to look down on you anymore, but at the same time, you also tied your future with the Xie family, and from then on you are no longer Jingkou Liu Da, but half of the Xie family! ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, it's not like that, the kind of marriage you are talking about is a family marriage that is the right family, I am different from Miaoyin, we admire each other and love each other sincerely." ”
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Miao Ying'er? Wonderful news? As soon as I heard it, I knew it was her. If my guess is correct, it should be the noble girl of the family you met in Jingkou as you said last time. I noticed it when you were fighting, when she and Huan Xuan were standing under the big tree, they kept looking at you, and they seemed to be interested in you at that time. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi's words changed: "However, these noble daughters of the family seem to be noble, but in fact, they can't help it, while they have a prominent background, they are also pawns of the family to fight for various interests, even if she likes you, but as long as Xie Xianggong says a word, she has to marry a child of a family who has never met, even if this person will be a cripple!" ”
Liu Yu sighed, he had also heard of the various tragedies caused by this kind of political marriage between high-ranking families: "Then it seems that Miaoyin and I are still lucky, at least, we can be with the person we like." Fat man, what you said makes sense, maybe for the Xie family, they want to use this kind of marriage as a means to tie me up. But Miao Yin and I are truly in love, and our love is pure, and there are no extras. ”
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "So if this marriage is concluded, your ideals and future will no longer exist, you are just a son-in-law of the Xie family, and you can no longer have your own real life." ”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Fatty, are you going too far." The Xie family is kind to me, and Miaoyin and I like each other, and if I marry her, I won't be free? Do you have to obey others for the rest of your life? What kind of reasoning is this? Could it be that Xuan Shuai still harms me? ”
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Tell me, what are your ideals and ambitions in life?" ”
Liu Yu laughed: "When the eldest husband is alive, he naturally wants to make a career of fame and fame in history." Now that Shenzhou is sinking and the north has fallen into the hands of foreign Hulu, I have no other thoughts, I just hope to lead the army to fight and recover the Central Plains. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "So far, I can't see any conflict between this wish of mine and the top families such as the Xie family and the Wang family." I want to go on a northern expedition, and they want to go on a northern expedition, and everyone's purpose is the same. Even if the purpose is the same, why should I worry about conflicts with the Xie family in the future? When I can calm the world in the future, I will naturally be disarmed and return to the field, and I am not a person who is greedy for power, you know. ”
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu at every turn, without saying a word, for a long time, he sighed, turned his head to look in the direction of the barracks, there, a handsome flag with the word "Xie" was fluttering in the wind, Liu Muzhi said slowly: "Slave, do you really think that my high-ranking family in the Great Jin Dynasty, they want the Northern Expedition, and you want the Northern Expedition, is it the same thing?" ”
