Qinglong suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, very good, great. Anshi is Anshi, and if Anshi really doesn't come out, what will happen to the world? You are forcing the three of us to join forces and destroy your Xie family." Are you going to completely defeat it and drive out this mafia?"
Xuanwu said coldly: "We established the mafia just to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty. I am loyal to the royal family, why not? But you, you have been duplicitous for so many years, why don't you reflect on yourselves?"
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "Master Xuanwu, wasn't the Sima clan the first to betray the Jin Dynasty? During the Western Dynasty, they regarded the world as the private property of their family and surname, divided the kings, split the land and sealed the borders. It finally triggered the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the land of Shenzhou fell. It brought such disaster to the country. We should have learned lessons, reused talented people, and worked hard to govern, but what did the Sima family do when they crossed the river?"
"Obviously, it was us, the noble family, who helped his surnamed Sima to ascend the throne. Instead of being grateful, he resorted to many conspiracies and tricks, either causing us to fight among ourselves, or using the troops of the refugee commander to destroy us, the noble family."
"The Sima emperor even blocked the Northern Expedition time and time again, using the power of the Hu people to destroy and defeat our army that wanted to go to the Northern Expedition. If not, how could our fathers and ancestors decide to completely deprive the Sima emperor of his power? What about the rules of being just a puppet and a nominal co-owner?”
Xuanwu quietly listened to Suzaku's impassioned speech and sighed: "We ourselves have been fighting to the death over these things all day long, so how can we have the nerve to accuse the emperor? As an emperor, even if he is supported, he is not willing to The power is gone, and you can only be a puppet all day long. The current situation is that Sima Yao has grown up and matured. We did not set up another puppet back then, but waited for him to grow up naturally. He has reached the time to take charge, so what reason is there to hold on to power? Won't you let me go? I was the prime minister before and held all the power. If I step back, is there any reason not to return the power to the emperor?"
Qinglong said grimly: "It is precisely for this reason that they must kill each other brothers. If not, they cannot expose all the supporters they can find overtly and covertly and catch them all. Don't think that those small and medium-sized aristocratic families are clinging to us. They are really so loyal, they are the wolves who are most focused on our position, if the emperor can transfer what is given to us to them, it will be easy to gain their allegiance."
Suzaku nodded: "I agree with Qinglong's approach. Since the Northern Expedition only requires the Beifu Army or money and food in our hands and does not need to give it to small and medium-sized families, then why not let them lose in the civil war? The Jin Dynasty has decades There is no more civil war, so many cats and dogs are now in trouble. If we don't get rid of them, or find out which ones are loyal and reliable, and which ones are secretly collaborating with the Sima Emperor, even if the four of us work together to make the Northern Expedition, we will still be in danger. .”
A cold light flashed in Xuanwu's eyes: "Is the civil war so easy? I think you have healed the scars and forgotten the pain. Decades ago, there were civil wars in the Jin Dynasty, two rebellions by Wang Dun, and then another Do you dare to say that the Su Jun Zuyue Rebellion had no impact on the Northern Expedition? Many years of grain reserves were destroyed by the war, the fields were barren, and a large number of people died in the war or fled. After two years of fighting, it will take at least ten years to recover a little bit of strength. Our Jin Dynasty Precious manpower and materials are all wasted on fighting the civil war, and you actually think it’s a good thing?”
Baihu said thoughtfully: "I agree with Xuanwu's point of view. The civil war consumes too much of the country. After the war, we can't immediately go to the north. If we can use Xuanwu's method, by giving away daughters and offering the Beifu army to Stabilizing the emperor, or even making the emperor willing to go to the Northern Expedition, seems to be better than Qinglong's civil war to consume the unstable factors."
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly: "Baihu, why didn't you see it? This method will only benefit Xuanwu, because Xiannu is the daughter of his Xie family, at least half of the Xie family, and the Beifu army is also the Xie family. If he voluntarily handed over his private soldiers to the emperor and retired by himself, the emperor would definitely be impressed and even take the initiative to retain him, or let Xie Xuan continue to control the Beifu Army. When the time comes, Xuanwu will form an alliance with the emperor to deal with the three of us. Everything he, Master Xuanwu, does will be liquidated and retaliated for!"
Xuanwu laughed: "Master Qinglong, you just said that you know your identity. You belong to the aristocratic family, not others. Only the four of us can work together through thick and thin and protect the family's wealth. You said that you will never turn to Huan Xuan to deal with it." There are three of us. But now that I want to be loyal to the emperor, why do you jump out to stop me like this? Could it be that you are the only one who is loyal to the mafia, and none of us are?"
Qinglong was choked by Xuanwu's attack and had nothing to say. He tossed his sleeves angrily, closed his eyes, and began to think quickly about how to fight back.
Xuanwu said seriously: "I don't even want Huang Yue, so how can I form an alliance with the emperor? If the Northern Expedition is really going to happen, then this time I will let everyone equally enjoy the command and military exploits of the Beifu Army. Even the commander of the Beifu Army will also It can be elected by one of us. The strength of our Jin Dynasty should not be consumed in meaningless internal bloodshed, but should be unanimously dealt with the Hu people. As long as we regain a large area of lost land in the north, are we afraid that we will not get any benefits? Liu Yu He’s dead, now that we don’t have our best general, we can’t lose our strength easily.”
Qinglong sneered and said: "In this way, your Xie family is above our three families. No matter how bright your tongue is, it is impossible for me to support you. Besides, you think that if you give the Beifu army to the emperor, he will let it go." Is Sima Dao a son? The struggle for power has no relationship between father and son, and there is no human relationship between brothers. As soon as our aristocratic families retreat, the two brothers will become stupid. No matter whether we arrange it or not, this result will not change!"
Xuanwu said coldly: "So you let the people of Tianshi Dao get close to Sima Daozi and strengthen his power. I'm afraid you, Master Qinglong, had already expected that I would send the Beifu Army to the emperor. You said that I have destroyed it for many years The tradition of establishing an emperor, but you have even used demons and thieves, do you have the nerve to blame me?"
Qinglong laughed: "The monsters and thieves are nothing to worry about. They have not had political power for hundreds of years. They are just preaching among the people. Even this will not let them get what they want. Although the King of Kuaiji is fatuous, he still has no political power. He can also see clearly and knows that the demon thief is just trying to please him and has a big agenda. If he wants to cause trouble, he will have to use the demon thief. If we take this opportunity to wipe out the demon thief who has indulged in these years, won't we kill two birds with one stone?"
Xuanwu sighed and shook his head: "Qinglong, Qinglong, you underestimate the ability of demon thieves. Don't think that people like Sun Tai who want to squeeze into aristocratic families and become officials are the representatives of demon thieves. In my opinion, Sun En , Lu Xun, Xu Daofu and other rising stars are the most terrifying, because what they want to destroy is the entire Jin family world!"
