Liu Yu blinked: "What Marshal Xuan said is like the orchid and jade tree, which grows on the court. What does this mean? I don't understand it at all."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly and said: "This Zhilan Yushu is what Xuan Shuai calls himself, or the nephew of the Xie family. There is an allusion here. Confucius once said that Fu Zhilan was born in the deep forest, and there must be no one there. Fang, this is how Zhi Tong Zhi and Zhi Lan Yu Shu came about."
Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "I understand when you say it this way. What Confucius means is that the orchid grass grows in the deep mountains and old forests. Even if no one passes by, it is still fragrant. And these outstanding nephews and nephews of the Xie family are not They need to rely on the emperor to gain power. They already have talents, and it should be the emperor who takes the initiative to seek talents. Instead, they are like Wang Guobao, who follow the crowd and have no talents themselves. The Xie family will not be such a person."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Jinu, you are very promising. Just one point is enough. Yes, that's what Xuan Shuai's answer means. As long as the Xie family's nephews and nephews can keep making progress and produce talents from generation to generation, even if the power is lost for a while, sooner or later it will be over. Being able to come back, he wanted to reassure his father-in-law that his children and nephews did not survive in the world because of the protection of his power, but to rely on their own abilities to make contributions. As long as they can do this, they will not be afraid of declining like other families. .”
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "So this shows his sincerity, that is, the Xie family's nephews will work hard and do things that are beneficial to the country. Whether it is the Northern Expedition or the governance of the country, Commander Xuan will not let Xie Xianggong down. Moreover, even if he is the emperor Not to mention the Xie family, they are also among the aristocratic families, have a huge reputation among the people, and have talents that the emperor cannot completely abandon."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, this is also for us. The Xie family can advance or retreat. In the morning, you can be a farmer, and in the evening, you can ascend to the emperor's hall. It depends on the family's heritage and ability. Even if you lose power for a while, , we will come back sooner or later. Marshal Xuan wants to comfort us. Don’t think that if the Xie family loses power, we will be affected. As long as you have the ability, you will definitely be useful. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "No wonder you, fat man, are clapping your hands and applauding. Now that I understand it, I want to look up to the sky and laugh three times. Isn't it a joy in life to follow the Xie family to continue to make contributions?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Maybe I thought too much in the past. I always felt that the Xie family was just an ordinary aristocratic family, and their pursuits were different from ours, but now it seems that they still have a strong enterprising spirit. , this point is no different from those of us grassroots who are eager to get ahead.”
Liu Yu smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "You are just biased against Miaoyin and the Xie family. In fact, I have a pretty good eye for people. There are aristocratic families like the Xie family, and there are also people like Diao Kui. It cannot be generalized, even if the Xie family wants to seize power, as long as it is beneficial to the country, then there is no reason for me not to help them."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Then Nuo, do you know the meaning of the last two people's poems to each other?"
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "It should be a poem to express one's aspirations and express one's feelings. But I don't understand it at all. Can you explain it to me?"
Liu Muzhi cleared his throat and said sternly: "What Commander Xuan said, in the past I left, and the willows followed. Now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling." This sentence comes from the Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Chapter on Picking Wei. It was the invasion of the Hu people from the north by the Rong Di, and the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty went out to resist. When they set out, the willows were in the air, but when they came back, it was raining and snowing. In other words, they went out in the spring and came back in the winter. The fight was very hard, but finally Still victorious.”
"This poem is the same as today's scene. It is winter now, spring is about to begin, and it is also the time for our army to go on an expedition. Marshal Xuan uses this poem to clarify his ambition, and he has made a great wish not to defeat the barbarians and not return home. He also has to go on an expedition for a long time. I hope that my family and relatives can take good care of him and wait for the news of his victory."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It turns out that it is better to read more. It seems that Marshal Xuan has made up his mind to be like the soldiers who went out in ancient times. He will not return home until he defeats the barbarians. What my husband said later is also What’s the purpose?”
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and said sternly: "If you decide your destiny, you will tell me from afar. This is a famous poem in the Book of Songs, Daya, Yili. "Issu Mo means a big plan, a grand plan. Destining a destiny refers to judging the fate of the law. "Yuan You" refers to long-term plans, while "Chen Gao" refers to informing the world so that all ordinary people will know."
Liu Yu sighed: "Then the meaning of this poem is that your Lordship must make careful plans to formulate the country's major policies, and then announce them to the whole world, openly and openly, without any private transactions, conspiracies and shady things." The method is like this?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is probably the motto of Mr. Xianggong's life. He did indeed do this. Even if he arranged a marriage for the Holy Emperor, he would gather the aristocratic families and discuss it in public instead of making a private decision. That's right. It was because of this that the various families were convinced of him and elected him as their leader. He used this poem, which means that this time from the formation of the Beifu soldiers to the expedition, everything was upright and aboveboard, and there was nothing objectionable about it. , let Xuan Shuai fight in the front with peace of mind, he will sit in the rear and solve all his worries. If someone wants to use means to ruin the war in the front, he will naturally not turn a blind eye, and will definitely act with righteousness when the time comes. To punish these people."
Liu Yu laughed: "This is what Xuan Shuai wants. Since ancient times, there has never been a treacherous minister who has been in power, and a general has made achievements outside. The poem in front of Xuan Shuai is somewhat sad, and some worries can be vaguely heard." , probably because he was afraid that while he was fighting at the front, there would be villains from behind who would slander him. The words of Mr. Xianggong completely reassured him. When necessary, he would come back to power and do his best to ensure the war. It went smoothly.”
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Yes, now that the enemy is facing us, fighting is the top priority. The overt and covert fights between the aristocratic family and the royal family have been put aside for the time being. So even if the Holy Emperor wants to take back his power now, he can't offend the Xie family too much. After all, The Xie family's disciples and former officials are all over the world, and they have formed good relationships with many aristocratic families through marriage, and they are like-minded. It is not so easy to overthrow them. Even the Huan family in Jingzhou is going all out to fight against foreign enemies this time. I heard that the Huan family Chong also intends to send troops to defend Jiankang."
Liu Yu curled his lips in disdain: "Are you here to invade the defense or to seize power? If even I can see it, my husband must also be able to see it."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "That is a matter for the upper class, Jinu, our job is very simple, that is to strive for victory on the battlefield. Only by achieving this can we benefit the country and ourselves."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "My sword can't wait any longer!"
