Luo Longsheng burst out laughing, laughing and clapping his hands: "Interesting, so interesting, Liu Yu can actually be compared with Wang Mang, but if you think about it carefully, before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was also regarded as the great savior of the world. Your Majesty, Zen abdicated and ascended the throne, which was expected by everyone, and Liu Yu is almost treated like this now. It can be said that he is at the peak of his life, but when he is suddenly compared to Wang Mang, he is a traitor and a loyal person. , all the tall images he had before suddenly became suspicious."

At this point, Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "But it's not that easy to make the world believe that Liu Yu will be Wang Mang in the future. Lord God, if you make Liu Yu angry by preaching like this, he will be tough on you." It will directly kill you, you have to consider this possibility."

Heipao said calmly: "Of course I have to consider this possibility, so I can't attack him directly. I can only travel to various places in Jin Dynasty to collect stories and write as a poet who is compassionate and caring about the suffering of the people. These poems about folk suffering make people feel the same and feel sad."

"I will let everyone see how miserable the people of the Jin Dynasty are and how difficult the people's livelihood is. Under such circumstances, if you don't pay attention to the life and death of the ordinary people, but insist on continuing to fight and continue the Northern Expedition, then Isn’t it just forcing these little people to die, isn’t it just leaving them in dire straits?”

Luo Longsheng nodded: "I understand what you mean. You just wrote about these people who are suffering from people's livelihood, rather than saying that Liu Yu is Wang Mang's man. This job is to be given to those aristocratic families, so that those who do not want to be Liu Yu Yu forced the noble family who went to the Northern Expedition to do it."

The black robe raised his lips proudly: "Yes, that's what I want. Deep down, these aristocratic families don't want to go to the Northern Expedition at all. That is to say, wealthy families like the Xie family who still have some ideas want to occupy the north through the Northern Expedition. Only the top aristocratic families with more interests will follow Liu Yu, but the Xie family is not having a good life now. If they keep following Liu Yu and betray the entire aristocratic circle, then the status of the leader of this family will be just around the corner. Even if Wang Miaoyin follows No matter how good Liu Yu's relationship is, he cannot put this relationship above the entire aristocratic family circle. This is the foundation of their Xie family and Wang family."

"Most of the Wudi aristocratic families just want to occupy their own manor in Wudi, and have endless servants for generations to come. If they are allowed to sacrifice these immediate interests, and let their nephews give up the rights of their sons and brothers who can live in fine clothes and fine food, Life requires them to join the army for expeditions, shed blood and sweat, risk their lives, and frighten the grandmothers and mothers at home. That is even more uncomfortable than killing them."

Luo Longsheng smiled and said: "But this is Liu Yuding's rule. You will not be rewarded without merit, and you will not be an official unless you have a title. Only when you have made meritorious service in war can you become an official if you get a title. Only when you become an official and have power can you protect your family's status. This Isn’t it true that these families have no choice but to accept it now? Wang Miaoyin, Mrs. Xie and the others helped Liu Yu to convince these major families. Why, are you regretting it now? "

The black robe sneered and said: "At this time and at that time, these Wudi aristocratic families were willing to accept Liu Yu's conditions because Huanxuan usurped the throne at that time, and then introduced a large number of Jingzhou local tyrants to rob these Wudi Jiankang aristocratic families. For their own interests, they would seize their land, take their slaves, and even kill them. These families had supported and welcomed Huan Xuan, but they did not expect that when Huan Xuan became emperor, the first thing he would do was to attack them. It was too late to regret at this time, and Liu Yu appeared at this time, raised troops, and helped them overthrow Huan Xuan, so of course they were willing to support Liu Yu at that time and accept his conditions. Wang Miaoyin and Mrs. Xie were The smart daughter-in-law kept both sides secret, and tried to lower Liu Yu's asking price to these high-ranking families as much as possible. She even hinted to them that Liu Yu and the Eighth Party members of Beifu Junjing were just warriors. The conditions they raised now would not affect the high-ranking families in the future. His descendants cannot govern the country, so they must all be swallowed up."

"In this case, the high-ranking family once supported Liu Yu, and put down the chess piece Liu Tingyun and placed it next to Liu Yi, hoping to check and balance Liu Yu. However, they underestimated Liu Yu. Liu Yu's There are not only a group of warriors around, but also state-governing talents like Liu Muzhi and Xu Xianzhi, and even middle- and lower-class scholars like Meng Chang, who also have a strong impulse and ability to rise. These people have made meritorious service in the army, won titles, and become officials. He quickly replaced the children of those aristocratic families who had been officials for generations, and by the time they found out that they had lost power, it was already too late to regret it."

"The system of military honors established by Liu Yu can be maintained as long as there are middle- and lower-class scholars who want to make meritorious service and receive titles. The only advantage of high-ranking families is that they still have the right to educate~www.readwn.com~can still pass They recruited and bribed scholars to maintain a certain amount of power. In addition, they had a large number of village leaders and old farmers. If someone needed to take the lead in farming in the newly occupied areas, only they had enough talents available, so Liu Yu It is not yet possible to completely abandon the noble family, nor to be enemies with their entire circle, but the best years of cooperation between the two parties have passed."

Luo Longshang breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand what you mean. The noble family now feels that they have been fooled, but they have no soldiers and power, so they cannot fall out with Liu Yu directly, so they need to find opportunities and excuses. This Even if Liu Yu was able to eliminate Tianshi Dao this time, he could not wash away the crime of leading the Tianshi Dao to raise troops in the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan. If after the war, when the country was in dire straits and waiting to be revived, he would continue to use the name of the Northern Expedition to wreak havoc. Using the power of the people, that is, the one-man thieves can mobilize all the wise people in the world to denounce him and stop him. Even his subordinates, the young commanders who want to take a breath and live a stable life for a few years, may not be able to do so. Everyone will be on his side."

The black robe nodded: "Your analysis is very good, that's it. When there are foreign enemies like Tianshi Dao and barbarians like Nanyan, these generals will unite as one, but if these external pressures are lifted, then everyone will He wanted to enjoy a period of peace and quiet, at least to consolidate his newly occupied territory and form a new legion for future advancement. Liu Yu didn't want to stop. He wanted to destroy Tianshi Dao and start the Northern Expedition. Because he will know that our Divine Alliance is still there, and the Hulu in the north are still there, so we cannot give the enemy a chance to breathe, and as long as he wants to continue fighting, he will be intolerable to the whole world. At this time, there will definitely be nobles from aristocratic families. Those disciples who wanted him to step down came forward and said that Liu Yu is today’s Wang Mang!” (End of Chapter)
