Liu Yi laughed: "I envy you, I envy you. In fact, sometimes I really can't figure out what you are trying to do. Let's talk about seeking power. You are not so keen. Let's talk about making profits. Your Xu family It's not a first-class family. Let's talk about merit. You're not like Jinu who thinks about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and leave a name in history. You're not even as good as me in this regard. What do you want when you join the Black Hand Universe? "
Xu Xianzhi said calmly: "In the past, I only wanted to seek fame and success, and I wanted to rely on what I had learned to manage the world and benefit the people, so I moved my family to Shangyu and traveled around the world. I am familiar with the classics and history, and I want to be a famous official like Xie An, and one day be able to realize my lifelong ambition. Therefore, I raise the dead soldiers in secret and establish my own intelligence organization, not only to spy on the intelligence of Wu for the slaves, but also to I want to form my own force, thinking that one day, I can replace a high-ranking family like Black Hand Qiankun and become the new Wang Dao, Xie An."
"But the time when Tianshi Dao raised his troops, it changed my whole life. I saw with my own eyes how insignificant and pitiful an individual's power and years of management were under the attack of demon thieves. I thought The intelligence organization that controlled everything and the manor I thought I had been running for ten years were all reduced to nothing overnight. In fact, if my father and brother hadn't tried their best to block the monster thieves and fought for my escape, only I'm afraid that now, I will be like them, chopped into pieces and eaten by the mob."
Speaking of this, tears filled Xu Xianzhi's eyes and his voice choked up.
Liu Yi looked serious and sighed: "It was really a disaster. Even many days later, when we led the troops to quell the rebellion and entered Wu, we still couldn't get rid of the tragic scenes we heard and witnessed in our hearts. I, Liu Yi has fought and killed countless people throughout his life, but the hell on earth left by Tianshi Dao still gives me nightmares from time to time."
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "So, from that day on, I understood one thing. All those who incite the people and create war for their own selfish desires, no matter how good their excuses are, will only cause disaster to the world and kill people." Many of the people who eat my father and brother, even those who look simple and honest in normal times, even farmers whom we have helped and rescued, and whose names we can name, will still turn into beasts under the instigation of Tianshi Dao. . But Tianshi Dao is so crazy and cruel. Wasn't it also forced by the ambitious Sima Yuanxian who wanted to take power? These people fought for power and profit, and finally brought chaos to the world, harmed countless people, and injured countless lives. Every day I I’m all thinking about it, if one day I will face power, lose my humanity, and become that kind of person?”
Liu Yi couldn't help but feel moved: "So, you joined the Black Hand Universe for the sake of world peace, not for your own success?"
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "It sounds ridiculous, right? But that's what I think now. I hope that the world will be peaceful, and there will be no more disputes from now on. With good generals like you and Ji Nu protecting the family and the country, the noble families can be safe." In view of the current situation, they will no longer fight for power that does not belong to them. The people of the world will be content with their lives. The entire Jin Dynasty will operate according to the original order. They will not conquer enemy countries, provoke wars, and will not be invaded by barbarians. Now This is what I think is the best time. There are no foolish kings, no treacherous ministers, and no underground cabal groups fighting for power. Isn’t this kind of world worth cherishing and maintaining?"
Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "But even a slave will not agree with your point of view. He is obsessed with the Northern Expedition and wants..."
Xu Xianzhi interrupted Liu Yi: "This is why I am with you now, not in the Jinu shogunate. Do you understand? Jinu's ideals are noble and the motives are pure, but they must be realized. His ideal still requires the use of weapons and expropriation, which will cause further suffering and heavy burdens to the people of the Jin Dynasty. I cannot agree with this. The Hulu have occupied the Central Plains and occupied the north for hundreds of years. , the people in the north no longer regard us Jin people from the south as the same people. This cannot be denied. For hundreds of years, the powerful officials of the Jin Dynasty wanted to go to the Northern Expedition not because they were noble, but because they wanted to use the achievements of the Northern Expedition to finally be able to It’s just usurping the Jin Dynasty to establish itself, from Huan Wen to Xie An, this is the case!”
Liu Yi nodded: "Are you trying to say that Jinu also wants to take this path?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "No, I didn't say that. Jinu is a pure person. He just can't bear to see the Han family fall into the hands of barbarians. But after all, he has too little education. The people who belong to this world have their own destiny. Shang The Yi people originally from the East expelled the Xia clan and rushed to the grassland. When the Zhou people came to the west, King Wu conquered Zhou again. The Qin Dynasty was originally a country of tigers and wolves in the West, and finally conquered the world. Han Gao Liu Bang, who started from Huaixu, was also seen at that time. It can be said that since ancient times in China, we in China have replaced the virtuous foreign kings who originally lived in the Central Plains. Take our Jin Dynasty as an example. Ran Min, a Han, established himself as emperor and did not engage in production, which made the Han people in the north very miserable. There is no one, but the Di man Fu Jian practiced benevolence and righteousness and treated the Han people well, so the people in the north returned to their hearts, and the people in the world just wanted to live and live better. As for whether they are Han or Hu, is there really such a big difference? "
Liu Yi frowned: "I haven't read as much as you, but the defenses between Yi and Xia have been there since ancient times. Luoyang and Chang'an have always been my capital of China. Is it really okay if it falls into the hands of the barbarians?"
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "If the rulers of Yi and Di were unethical and harmed the people, then naturally there would be the British rulers who were destined to punish the people and rule the world. But now it seems that the monarchs of the Northern Wei and Later Qin are not like this. There is no such thing as a faint emperor. The former Murong De of Nan Yan was also a Xianbei emperor who was kind to the people. In this troubled time, they were able to stabilize one side and contributed to the world. At least, compared to Tianshi Dao, Sima Yuanxian , Aren’t the tyrants and traitors like Huan Xuan who provoked wars and caused trouble in the world more qualified to be rulers?”
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "But these Hu emperors you are talking about are constantly conquering and militarizing. They are not really good to the people. At most, they just let them have a living. Moreover, as Han people, we must take back our own homeland. Shouldn’t we all liberate the location of our ancestral graves?”
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "If such an achievement requires the people of the world to suffer again, I don't think it should be done. It's like sending a slave. If he wants to go to the Northern Expedition, he may even ruin his wife's life. Do you really think this is okay? Is there a problem? For the sake of my own ideals, I am afraid of severing family ties, violating human relations, turning husband and wife against each other, and so I would rather choose to be with you."
