Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "You mean, because brother Yu has decided to take the road of emperor this time, although we are very happy, the aristocratic family and even my mother are not happy? He may even give up on Yu. Brother’s support?”
Liu Muzhi nodded solemnly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The reason why the high-ranking families supported Liu Yu was because Huan Xuan usurped the throne and sent slaves to raise an army to destroy Huan Xuan, which was beneficial to them. Because after Huan Xuan came to power, he generously rewarded him. The family and loyal subordinates in Jingzhou robbed the people of the manor in Wu land, which touched the fundamental interests of the Jiankang family. Therefore, the lesser of two evils, Liu Yu, who has a good relationship with the Xie family and you, became Their life-saving straw, even if Liu Yu hates the aristocratic family, at least for the time being, he only uses the warriors of the Beifu Army to partially occupy some interests, which is acceptable to the high-ranking family."
"First of all, the Beifu brothers are uneducated roughnecks who are not good at business management. Even if they are given titles and land, they can only return it to the noble families in the end, or let them take care of it. Secondly, they can also take those During Sun En's Rebellion and Huan Xuan's usurpation, the land estates vacated by the families who were in the wrong team or were eliminated were temporarily allocated to some emerging senior generals of the Beifu Army to satisfy them, such as Liu Yi and his If you are a best friend, you will be divided a lot, but the purpose is completely different from giving it to a slave."
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "But my mother has no dealings with Liu Yi. It's Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi who have close contacts with Liu Yi."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "As the leader of the aristocratic family, your mother also wants to check and balance, and she also makes multiple bets. You make friends with Liu Yu here, and Xie Hun has a good relationship with Liu Yi there, so that no matter who takes the position of Beifu coach , can ensure that the Xie family will continue to enjoy glory and wealth, and the same is true for the entire aristocratic family. A group of losers and those who are on the wrong team will be eliminated, which can be used to satisfy the victorious military group and turn them into a new group of aristocratic families. , replacing those old ones, this is the kind of update designed by your mother."
Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Muzhi with confusion: "Muzhi, how come you know my mother better than I do? She has never told me this."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Because here, there is never a second choice. Could you give up your love for the slave and turn to truly marry and fall in love with another man? Although you have entered the palace twice and become a Queen, but strictly speaking, there is no actual relationship between husband and wife, and there is only the name of queen, so that you can use the status of queen to replace the emperor to issue edicts and grasp the highest power. If Liu Yu ascends to the throne of emperor, you This function of his is gone. No matter how much he loves you, he can't lie on the bed and let you do what Sima Dezong did."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "That's true, but if I assist Liu Yu in the future, whether I sit in the back seat or not, it will always be beneficial to the Xie family and my mother. Couldn't my mother let me, her biological daughter, go?" To support, to support a nephew who is trying to curry favor with Liu Yi who is also very ambitious and difficult to control?"
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Besides, Brother Yu is a noble character and knows how to repay kindness. It is the best choice. If Liu Yi were replaced, I am afraid he would be the first to destroy the most powerful Xie family. Eliminate the threat to yourself, my mother will not be able to understand this."
Liu Muzhi's expression became more serious: "Miaoyin, your current idea is too dangerous. For the head of the Xie family, family interests are better than flesh and blood. Isn’t it the best proof that I would rather give the position of Commander-in-Chief of Beifu to my nephew, Marshal Xuan, than to my own son, Xie Yan?”
Wang Miaoyin's expression changed, and a trace of fear flashed across her face. She shook her head in disbelief and said, "No, that's because Commander Xuan's ability is stronger than Uncle Yan's, and I..."
Liu Muzhi waved his hand: "Xuanshuai and Yanshuai are not much different in terms of pure military capabilities. They can even be said to be comparable. Although Yanshuai died in an ambush, the battle of Wuqiaoze commanded by Xuanshuai was also the same. They were caught in an ambush. The nature was similar, but they didn't involve themselves in it. During the Battle of Feishui, Xuan Shuai was hesitant at first, but Yan Shuai strongly advocated an attack. Therefore, in terms of military capabilities, the two of them were actually inferior. It’s also quite good, but do you know why Marshal Xuan was chosen in the end?”
Wang Miaoyin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "Then according to your opinion, it is more in the interest of our Xie family to give Commander Xuan than to Uncle Yan? Is it because he was close to Liu Laozhi, a warrior with a low status at the time?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "That's right. Xie Yan is a standard member of aristocratic families. Not only in his heart, but also in face. He looks down on low-status warriors and poor families. On the contrary, Xie Xuan, at least in face, he treats these emerging talents. The martial arts group is very polite, not only to Liu Laozhi, but also to Liu Yu and others, and they even do not hesitate to offend fellow members of the aristocratic family like Diao Kui and Wang Chen for Liu Yu's sake."
"My lord Xianggong knows very well that the children of the aristocratic family have degenerated and are not good at military affairs at that time. If you want to control a powerful army like the Beifu Army, you must rely on martial arts from humble families. Therefore, I chose Xie Xuan not because his military ability is better than Xie Xuan's. Yan, but because he is more trusted and supported by the warriors of the humble family."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "That's true, but now that Liu Yu, a warrior, has taken the position of the number one person in the Jin Dynasty, why do you think my mother will start to alienate him?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "If Liu Yu was an ordinary warrior who had no ideas and only wanted wealth, just like Liu Laozhi, that would be your mother's dream choice. She would try her best to get you to marry him. Go up and get close to each other in order to gain control.”
"But Liu Yu is a man with great ambitions. In order to save the people at the bottom, he even does not hesitate to offend the entire family. His knowledge is far beyond this era, and it even makes me wonder whether he is a god from heaven who has come down to earth. Let’s make a new rule in this world. Although I, Liu Muzhi, am a nobleman, I have lived in poverty since I was a child. The status I have today is entirely due to Liu Yu. I will support whatever he wants to do, but your Xie family is different. .”
Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth: "So, you conclude that my mother, in order to protect our family and the interests of the entire aristocratic family, might rather break up with me than become Liu Yu's enemy?"
Liu Muzhi said solemnly: "We cannot rule out this possibility. Now that Liu Yu has accomplished the feat of destroying the country, he is beginning to want to take the road of emperor again. Even as a wife, it is difficult not to have other ideas. At this time, you must give up." Regarding her concerns, I assure her that Liu Yu will continue to cooperate with high-ranking families after he becomes emperor, and don’t even mention the idea of everyone being equal and benefiting all sentient beings!"
