Liu Jingxuan laughed: "I know, you are still locking up a famous person in the world. I said, this Tao Gong has been doing well recently."
Liu Yu nodded and said calmly: "It's not bad. Ever since I imprisoned him when I first came back, he has been very peaceful. He eats and drinks and then goes to bed every day. After waking up, he also eats and drinks, and doesn't even sleep. He asked about the war situation outside and didn't write poems or poems, as if he was a different person."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "I heard that he stabbed Liu Tingyun and was seriously injured. Hum, even Meng Chang died, but it is really strange that he survived. Could it be that after experiencing life and death, Somewhat enlightened. However, this guy has always been against you, and this time he has an affair with the Later Qin Dynasty. He should be severely punished both emotionally and legally. Didn’t you just say that such a person who surrenders to the enemy should be severely punished? ?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Strictly speaking, he is not a collaborator, but he went to deliver messages to the Later Qin Dynasty privately as a messenger. Although his behavior was not authorized by the court, if he is punished for this reason, This will make scholars all over the world criticize him. After all, Tao Yuanming has always shown himself to be concerned about the country and the people and not greedy for power. Therefore, many people admire him. If I punish him for having an affair with the Later Qin Dynasty at this time, I am afraid it will It chills many people’s hearts. After the war, what we need most is unity and reconstruction.”
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "I understand what you mean, so do you want Tao Yuanming to serve as an assistant in my shogunate, and then go far away to the land of Qingzhou instead of staying in the south?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Isn't he a famous person in the world, a famous talent? I checked his previous experience as an official. He was also a state eunuch and worked in the official school for a long time. I asked him to go to Xiangxu in Qingzhou. Teaching those scholars about humanities and literature, and going to the hometown of Confucius and Mencius to preach and teach, is probably the best arrangement for him."
Liu Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that after he arrives in the north, he will be able to get in touch with countries such as the Later Qin and the Northern Wei more easily, or even run away directly?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of this. He is not Sima Guofan. If someone like Sima Chuzhi defected to the enemy country and abandoned his motherland, then he would destroy the character he had built up with great difficulty in his life. Moreover, there are Han Fan's Given the precedent, he must not dare to contact or interact with foreign countries easily again.”
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips: "Do you really believe that he is not from the Tiandao League or some other intelligence organization? Over the years, he has been able to openly oppose you like this. If there is no background behind it, I think it is very It’s hard to explain.”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "To be honest, I have been observing and testing him. In fact, I was also worried that he was from the Tiandao Alliance. But Liu Tingyun almost lost his life when he assassinated him, and Miaoyin helped me check it. Passing that sword was indeed just a hair’s breadth, definitely not a fake, and the most critical test was still passed.”
"Later I didn't trust him, so during this defense battle, I wanted to see if Doupeng would take advantage of the chaos to release him. As a result, Doupeng himself was wiped out, and he stayed in the place of imprisonment well without escaping. After these two tests, I really have no reason to detain him again. It seems that he is just a typical literati who wants the privileges of the gentry, likes to talk loudly, and hopes to restore the power and glory of their Tao family in Jingzhou."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "But what I dislike the most is this kind of literati. He knows how to make all kinds of comments and comments all day long, but it is useless when it comes to practical work. He is so famous that he has to respect him. Not to mention Talking about the bad tempers of those young men from aristocratic families, most of these young men from aristocratic families who came to our army were beaten out by me."
Liu Yu shook his head: "This Tao Yuanming is different. He is not the kind of son of a noble family. His family has been in decline for a long time. His background is no different from you and me. He also relied on studying hard to stand out and become a world-famous poet. , a great celebrity. If you and I have been practicing martial arts since childhood, he has been studying literature since childhood. Different paths lead to the same goal, and they all have the ability, and you can see that he is also very capable of doing things. Although he has no official status, Being able to engage in such important matters as sending envoys to enemy countries, negotiating peace and sending troops is different from those children of aristocratic families. This person is too capable and has a strong government."
Liu Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Then if he is such a person, I may not be able to control him. You'd better send him to the fat man and let him take care of him."
Liu Yu sighed: "I can't always keep Fatty in Qingzhou. After it is settled there, I will have to recall him to the central court. After the Jin Dynasty has experienced wars and rebellions in the past few years, the country is full of holes and waste. Xing, since the defeat of Yan, all kinds of overt and covert enemies and conspiracy organizations have emerged. We still have to rest and recuperate for a few years to straighten out the relationships among all parties in the country."
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips: "Then what do you think of this Tao Yuanming, I brought him to Qingzhou, just to make him a teacher and go to the Lanxiang Official School to teach? This person's philosophy is that everyone in the world is equal. If he goes to teach people about the old aristocratic world and the rules of hierarchy, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to carry out the various reforms you tried in Qingzhou?”
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "You have to control this carefully. Let him teach and pass on his work. You must not express his thoughts. Only let him teach poetry, poetry, the Four Books and the Five Classics. As for various official administrations He is not allowed to comment on the law and the implementation of the system. You must send trusted and capable people to observe his teaching classes and monitor him as a student. If he really speaks or does something out of line, especially making irresponsible remarks about government affairs If so, that would be just enough reason to punish him."
Liu Jingxuan said angrily: "Do you want to punish him or use this person? I can't figure out your real thoughts."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Whether to be punished or to be reused depends on Tao Yuanming's own choice. It is not a personal grudge between me and him, but a difference in philosophy. I want to establish a world where everyone is equal and everyone has the opportunity to get ahead. In a world that is striving to make progress, he still clings to the old stereotype of the nobles being superior to others, enslaving and oppressing all the people, so if he persists in his persistence, I must set him up as a model to fight against crime, and at the same time warn the scholars in the world not to follow him study."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "If he understands, supports your ideas in time, and spreads them in the teaching process, then you will give him the power and wealth he wants, and he will not only be a teacher in the future, but also It’s not impossible to entrust important responsibilities, even to state and county governors, right?”
