Yu Yue sighed, shook his head and said: "I still don't understand, what do you want the governor of Jingzhou to do? Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists, and it is also a place that all ambitious people are interested in. With your current power, Mr. Tao, It’s extremely difficult to seize this place, so why don’t you help me become the governor of Jingzhou first, and then after I stabilize my power here, I will recommend you to succeed me as the governor of Jingzhou, what do you think?”

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yu Gong, it is precisely because your Yu family has served as the governor of Jingzhou for a long time, so even if you perform meritorious service in the battle to chase down the demon thieves, it will be difficult for you to be given the position of governor of Jingzhou. Liu Yu wants to The Northern Expedition was basically an attack from two directions, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, especially Jingzhou. As I said before, if he wanted to go back to the old path of the great ancestor Liu Bang, he would definitely attack Western Shu personally or send generals to the place where he sent troops. Only Jingzhou, if I gave you Yu Gong, do you think it would still be possible?"

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "I can ask the senior members of the aristocratic family to support me and build momentum for them to negotiate with Liu Yu. This Jin Dynasty must have a place for the senior members of the aristocratic families. It cannot be said that Liu Yu controls everything and does whatever he wants. In this way, if he presses too hard, we will cut off the supply of food, grass and manpower to him and see how he plays? Even Sima Xiuzhi was the governor of Jingzhou in the past, am I not as good as this escaped prince?"

Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Liu Yu at that time lacked strength and prestige, and he had just captured Jingzhou and killed Huan Xuan. There were still remnants of Huan's old troops in various places in Jingzhou. If Sima Xiuzhi was not allowed to be the governor, he would Liu Yi had to be allowed to guard Jingzhou in the name of general, and then Jingzhou became Liu Yi's. This was something Liu Yu didn't want to see at all. That's why Sima Xiuzhi became the governor. He was originally a transitional person. The characters will eventually be replaced by people Liu Yu trusts, and Huan Zhen succeeded in the sneak attack on Jiangling, and Sima Xiuzhi abandoned the city and fled, which made him get out early and replaced Liu Yu's brother Liu Daogui to guard Jingzhou."

"Although Liu Yi made great contributions to the Western Expedition to destroy Huan, Liu Yu roped in He Wuji to check and balance him. In the end, he only got the two states of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, but because Yuzhou is close to Jiankang, it is convenient for him to visit it at any time Liu Yi could also accept raising troops to Beijing to seize power. After all, if it was in Jingzhou, he would have to separatize Jingzhou for a long time and divide the world. This was not what Liu Yi wanted at the time. Mr. Yu, after I analyzed it this way, what else do you want? Do you want Jingzhou?"

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Then what do you want Jingzhou to do? Do you want to separate the Jin Dynasty and divide it for a long time?"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I want Jingzhou because this is the hometown of my Tao family, and our ancestor Kan Gong is also the world-famous governor of Jingzhou. If our Tao family wants to revive our family tradition, we must follow the old path of our ancestors." Just like you, Mr. Yu, you want Jingzhou, isn’t it because the most glorious period of your Yu family was the Three Yu Era, when one was the prime minister and his daughter became the queen, and the other two brothers controlled Jingzhou, thinking of foreign aid. ?"

"But your Yu family was most prosperous when you were the prime minister in the court. You were not the governor of Jingzhou. Your Yu Gong's life goal is not to let your Yu family leave Wu and move to Jingzhou to be hereditary like the Huan family. And we The highest official of the Tao family in the past was only the governor of Jingzhou. Therefore, after taking over the position of governor of Jingzhou and restoring the honor of Kangong, I would have the opportunity to enter Jiankang and make the Tao family a powerful family. Otherwise, , in the eyes of the world, we are just a family that ridicules other people."

Yu Yue curled up her lips: "Having said that, aren't you afraid of angering Liu Yu and attracting revenge?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "That's a story for later. If Yu Gong can secure his position as the governor of Yuzhou and later go to Beijing to become prime minister, it means that Liu Yu and the Eighth Party in Beijing can no longer do whatever they want like they do now, and we nobles , the power of the aristocratic families will regain control of the government of the Jin Dynasty. At this time, it will be the time to redistribute the governors of various states in the world. At that time, Yu Gong went to Beijing to be the prime minister, and I returned to Jingzhou to take charge of affairs. How could we echo each other? Isn’t it a great thing?”

Yu Yue shook his head in disbelief: "That means Liu Yu is finished? It's unlikely."

Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed coldly: "It's not necessarily that he is finished. Maybe it's because of his Northern Expedition that he needs to take his generals and marshals from the Beijing Eighth Party to the north. And these territories in the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Hebei are... He and these warriors need to be in charge personally, and the major states in the south may become the basis of the aristocratic families, because at this time, it is meaningless to send these military warriors as governors of various states, and county guards. In order to ensure the food, grass, ordnance and sufficient manpower required for the Northern Expedition, we need aristocratic families and nobles to manage the southern land.

Yu Yue clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, last time Liu Yu almost handed over the land of Wu to our hands for the Northern Expedition to Nanyan. After Nanyan was defeated, many manors and villages in the six counties of Jiangbei also gave us the land of Wu. To manage it, then according to this, as long as we can find a way to let Liu Yu expand externally, we can seize the power of these rear areas?"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "No matter how strong the Beifu Army is, no matter how powerful the Jingba Party is, they can only fight and cannot govern the country. Liu Yu wants to rely on the Lanxiang Official School to recruit some low-level scholars to bypass us for management. , but we can also counter him. As long as they are nobles, they all want glory and wealth. If they follow Liu Yu, they will only have the false name of some official positions. They have to work hard, but they can't get anything from the place. The good thing is, if the purpose of being an official is to work like a cow and a horse, and you cannot provide your wife and children with rich clothes and food, what good can you do as an official?"

Yu Yue laughed and said, "That's so good. In the past, these lower-class scholars came to our high-ranking family to seek employment as disciples and staff, just to rest against the big tree and enjoy the shade, and to rely on us to recommend them as officials. , and then support them again if we have the opportunity!"

"Just like Liu Muzhi, the Jiang family thought he had some talents, so they recruited him as their son-in-law, making Liu Muzhi believe that the Jiang family regarded him as one of their own. However, due to the opposition of the Jiang brothers, the former Jiang Gong never let Liu Muzhi When Mu Zhi became an official, he turned to Liu Yu. Huh, these lower-class scholars are all the same. If you have breasts, you are a mother. He will help whoever helps him rise to the top. However, following Liu Yu, they will not have any problems. No matter what good fruit you eat, you will have to come back and join us sooner or later."

At this point, Yu Yue suddenly thought of something and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, this is not about you, Mr. Tao. Your family is prominent and your ancestors were great governors. You are not the low-class scholars I mentioned." (End of Chapter)
