Liu Muzhi frowned: "Are you ready to kill as a warning to others?"
Liu Yu had a determined look on his face: "I don't want to kill people with a knife. If everyone can act according to my laws and work together to create a great cause, I will protect their interests as promised before, but if someone still wants to go back to the past, If you are in a state of doing nothing, controlling everything, harming the country and the people, and even working against me overtly or covertly, then prepare to face my anger and accept my knife!"
When he said this, a light flashed in his eyes. At some point, the heart-piercing old iron was stuck in his hand. He raised his hand and whipped out the short knife. It plunged straight into a pine tree as thick as a bowl on the side. With his strength, he Explosion, the huge pine tree was suddenly cut in half in the middle and fell down!
Dozens of guards who were a hundred steps away thought something had happened and rushed forward one after another. Liu Yu waved his hand and said to Ding Hao, who was rushing at the front: "It's okay. I can't control my emotions at the moment. It's safe here. There's nothing." People can hurt me and Liu Changshi."
Ding Yi grinned: "No one in the world can hurt Brother Jinu, but we and other guards are here and our duties are ours. Please forgive me, Brother Jinu."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, picked up the package of chicken legs on the ground, and handed it to Ding Ao: "Brothers, you have worked hard with me. I haven't eaten much dinner tonight. I'll take care of my stomach first, and I'll invite everyone back when we enter the city. Draft and lead.”
The guards burst into cheers, and another guard captain named Luo Bing greeted his companions and turned around to leave. Soon, calm returned to the place.
Liu Muzhi looked at Luo Bing's leaving figure, pondered for a moment, and said, "This Luo Bing seems to be the son of Luo Qiu, a rich man from Yongjia County."
Liu Yu was a little surprised, and while sheathing his sword, he said: "Yes, the person recommended by Bao Hou has also made military exploits. He was once controlled by Huan Zhen and defeated a demon thief. I asked Xianzhi to check it out. He is not a Celestial Master or Taoist." , has nothing to do with the Huan family in Jingzhou, and is similar to the situation of the Shen brothers. I use them to give a signal to the Wu family that in the future, meritorious service will not be limited to people from Beifu. Is there any problem?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "I haven't finished checking it yet, so it's hard to say. However, I suggest that you don't completely trust the Luo family and his son. Their background is a bit complicated, and they are not as simple as the Shen family brothers."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "How can I say this? They did not participate in the Tianshi Tao Rebellion, and there were still people in the family who died at the hands of monsters and thieves."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "The Luo family is a famous big family in the south. It has had a deep relationship with the family for many years. Not only does it have an extraordinary relationship with the high-ranking families in the capital, but it also has many connections with the Huan family. Even many of the Huan family's estates and properties in Wudi were purchased and managed through their family. This was also the reason why Huan Zhen ambushed Tianshi Dao last time and appointed the Luo family to assist. Give them a chance to make meritorious deeds. For the Huan clan, you only pardoned one of Huan Chong's sons, Huan Yin, who stayed in the capital. Luo Bing visited Huan Yin several times recently, and Diao Pin, the only pardoned member of the Diao family, also participated. "
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Do you know what they discussed?"
Liu Muzhi raised his head and looked at Liu Yu: "What did they discuss? Does it matter? As long as they are together, it is the most important thing. The children of the former aristocratic family who were knocked down and slaughtered are in panic all day long. With you The guards around you gather together, and this alone is enough for you to establish your authority."
Liu Yu frowned: "I want to establish my authority to kill those guys who openly oppose me and the country and have solid evidence. I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Once you are going to embark on the path of prosperity for those who follow me and death for those who go against me, there is no need to say whether you are innocent or not. Ji Nu, politics is cold, ruthless, and bloody. If there is not enough power, In order to scare others, it is better not to stand. Think about this for yourself. From now on, your enemies are no longer the knife-wielding enemies on the battlefield on the surface, but these people who are making various plans secretly. The descendants of the aristocratic families who are connected in series. Think about it before you established Yi, on the surface you were very obedient and respectful to Huan Xuan, but secretly you were uniting with the righteous people to form the Jingba Party. Isn't Huan Xuan not good to you personally? No, only Nothing can be reconciled, people with different Taoisms cannot work together, and the highest power cannot be shared with others!"
Liu Yu was silent for a while, then sighed: "Is this a necessary choice for the emperor?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "So, think about it carefully, whether you want to take this path, or not to take action, and continue to be in such harmony with the noble family, and see if they can really cooperate. If you want to take action, don't show mercy." , and don’t think about whether you are innocent or not. Your authority and your toughness can only be confirmed with a bloody butcher knife. The road of the king is destined to be ruthless!"
Liu Yu looked at Tan Ping's tomb on one side and murmured: "I raised the army just because I wanted all the people in the world to be at peace, so that the Han people in the world would not have to be bullied by the barbarians from the north like Ping Ping did in the past. I was forced to leave my family and find it hard to return, and my whole family went south, sacrificing countless relatives along the way. The Northern Expedition is my lifelong ambition and lifelong pursuit. If anyone wants to be my enemy on this point, he will fight against the millions of people who have been harmed by the Hu people. If the Han people are our enemies, I will never let them go."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Let's first take a look at the reaction of the aristocratic families to your next policy. Now they may not be openly enemies. When the time comes, let Queen Wang help and ask Madam to come forward. If there is a top aristocratic family like the Xie family, If you take the lead in responding, the situation will be much better. In addition, after Xile and the others are victorious, they can also be asked to win over big families like the Yu family and the Xi family for help."
Liu Yu nodded: "Speaking of Xile, I have one last thing. It has nothing to do with him, but has to do with the expert he sent at today's banquet. Fatty, I'm afraid you have to tell me the last thing." One thing is also about this Mr. Tao."
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and said calmly: "Yes, I have been paying attention to him for a long time. This person is by no means simple."
Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, behind all kinds of events, big and small, there is the appearance of this famous person in the world. I think these are unlikely to be coincidences. How are you doing with his investigation?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "This is the strangest thing. Every time something happens, this man seems to fall from the sky. He doesn't show up beforehand and disappears after doing it. Based on my intuition from many years of working in intelligence, it's like this It’s even scarier, because it’s impossible for a normal person not to leave any traces, unless..."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Unless it was erased deliberately."
