Xu Xianzhi said calmly: "Zhang Yi is a man of noble conduct and very principled. When his father was an official in Huan Chu, he once cried and warned his father not to be loyal to the rebellious ministers and traitors. For this, he gave him a severe beating. He almost died, but as soon as he woke up, he struggled to persuade him again. He was so loyal and loyal. Now he also serves as the Langzhongling of King Sima Dewen of Langya. He works in his mansion. "
Liu Yu nodded: "He is really a loyal person, I like him. I hope he can make Sima Dewen also loyal and don't have any wrong thoughts. Where is Chang Yu? Hey, his name is the same as mine ah."
Xu Xianzhi laughed: "I forgot to tell you that he has changed his name. In order to avoid your name, he does not use his own name, but uses the word to live in the world. Now he is called Zhang Maodu, Jinu, you understand. Bar."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "This taboo is just to avoid the emperor. I'm not the emperor, so why should I avoid my name?"
Xu Xianzhi blinked meaningfully: "From ordinary people's understanding, this is a sign of respect for you, but the meaning behind it actually does not need to be stated clearly. Everyone knows it, just like Yin Zhongwen, he is actually just doing it in a hurry. That’s all. In today’s world, who is the real master? Needless to say, who is the real master?”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Then according to what you mean, the Zhang family also wants to persuade me to join the family, and wants me to change the dynasty? So they did this in advance?"
Xu Xianzhi laughed: "Not to mention the Zhang family, even Tieniu Xiang Jing, who has always been tall and tall, changed his name. Just yesterday, he changed his name to Xiang Mi. Jinu, don't call Tieniu the wrong name when you see him in the future."
Liu Yu instinctively wanted to say that my name is not Liu Jing, so why should he avoid it, but a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. His late father, who had been dead for many years, was named Liu Jing. Xiang Jing, oh, no, it should be Xiang Mi was avoiding his father's taboo.
Liu Yu frowned: "Tieniu hasn't thought of this for so many years. Who taught him?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Ask him yourself about this. I don't know, but I also believe that he definitely didn't come up with this by himself. Maybe Yin Zhongwen's incident has enlightened many Jingba brothers. I hope Le is so anxious to compete with you, I’m afraid he doesn’t want to wait until the overall situation is decided before becoming your subject.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "I didn't agree to your second option earlier. The Sima family usurped power and seized the country unfairly, so everyone in later generations followed suit. In the end, what benefits did my own family gain? They were treated as puppets and played with in the hands of others. I wouldn't want to be such an emperor. My ambition is to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment and restore the country of our Han people. As for whether to be the emperor or not, I really have no interest."
Xu Xianzhi smiled and said: "But when you become the emperor, you can have the power and the reputation to do what you want, without having to worry about a fire in the backyard. It may be too early to talk about this step now, but in the future, you will always have When you have to make a choice, maybe one day you will find that all your family, friends, subordinates, and brothers will persuade you to join. At that time, can you still refuse easily?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "At least for now, I have no intention of doing so, and I have not made any great achievements. Although I have restored the Jin Dynasty, I have not regained the country that I lost for a hundred years. Apart from you, only Yin Zhongwen has persuaded me to join. I persuade You should also keep your mouth shut and don't publicize this everywhere in the future, so as not to get into trouble, and I can't protect you."
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "As long as I can understand your intention today, there is no need to rush to persuade us to move forward. There is indeed no rush to do this. Moreover, I still insist that the time for the Northern Expedition is far from mature and will only hurt people." The people of Jin Dynasty will also allow your opponents to take the opportunity to counterattack. Everything you have is at risk of being destroyed. You are a smart person and should know how to balance between ideals and reality."
Liu Yu said seriously: "I will seriously consider your words. This Zhang Yu, oh, Zhang Maodu, I have heard Mu Zhi say a lot. He himself is very talented in governing the country. He used to be the general of the Guard Sima Shangzhi before joining the army. Sima When Shang Zhi was defeated, he still took good care of the army's baggage, food and army rosters in the chaos. They were as orderly as usual. Huan Xuan was also deeply surprised. Later, after Huan Xuan became emperor, in order to make things more orderly. He wanted to seize and control the land of Wu, and let him be the domestic history of Wu. He specially occupied the Wudi manor of the Jiankang family for the children of the Huan family. However, he did not want to offend both sides. Finding a way to get the Huan family to pay for the redemption somewhat guaranteed the interests of the noble family. However, his own family did not take advantage of the opportunity. This formed a clear contrast with the greedy Yin Zhongwen, Bian Fanzhi and others. Compared."
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "However, because his Zhang family served as an official in the puppet Chu regime, he was hated by the high-ranking families in Jiankang City, although not as much as he was to the Huan, Yin, Bian and other families. Kill them all, but they are also dismissed from office by public decision. Even on the day Jiankang was restored, I heard that some aristocratic families wanted to take advantage of the chaos to wipe out the Zhang family. This is why Mu Zhi asked you to order special troops to protect them."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Needless to say, I know that the Yu family and the Xi family are going to do good things! In the eyes of these people, whether it is the Jingba brothers of the Beifu Army or the Wu people who have been suppressed by them for a long time, , and even the former Tianshi Dao, any newly rising force that can pose a threat to them will be punished to death. Fortunately, Zhang Maodu has left a sliver of life and saved his family. Now he is idle at home, Zhang Shao serves in my shogunate, so you think, how should I use him?"
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "There are three heroes in a sect. Some are officials in the palace of the king, some are taking orders in your shogunate, and there is no need for me to say how to place one of them. Among the three brothers, this Zhang Maodu is As someone who has experience in governing states and counties and has practical talents, I believe you will make good arrangements."
Liu Yu suddenly laughed: "Xianzhi, you are recommending Zhang Maodu. Does this person have a good relationship with you? Do you know him well?"
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "When I was in Shangyu, when I was investigating Tianshi Dao, I had a lot of dealings with Zhang Maodu. We had a very good relationship. The reason why he turned to you and the Eighth Party Committee of Beijing was also with me. Persuasion has a certain relationship. Of course, what you did in Wudi later made them trust you. This is your own credit. Since you want to slowly isolate and replace the current aristocratic family in the future, there is a lack of quick solutions. Talented people, it is an expedient measure to promote some families with local surnames in Wu. The special thing about the Zhang family is that they were born in the north after being left to wait, and their ancestral home is also in the north. They are not like other families who only want to settle in Wu. Be aggressive. If you want to make the Northern Expedition, at least they won’t directly oppose it.”
