Vol 4 Chapter 2341: Serve the country without a family


Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hands: "Second, please don’t get too excited. If Mr. Tao is really a spy, how could he take the army to capture Jiangling and drive away Huanzhen? Huan Xuan placed him in your majesty’s By his side, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is Huan Xuan’s confidant. Just like what I said earlier, didn’t all of our guests in the hall ever accepted the official position of Huan Xuan? The king also married Huan Xuan’s daughter. Say, should everyone check yourself first?"
At this moment, Wang Yu and Wang Suojii were speechless and sat down helplessly. Liu Muzhi looked at Tao Yuanming and said calmly: "Tao Gong, can you tell me how you led the army to attack Jiangling? "
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and said, "Tao’s ancestors were founding heroes, and the country is loyal, so the family tradition has been teaching me to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty and benefit the common people. Although the family has fallen, the teachings of this ancestor, I dare not forget. So when Tao was in the mountains, he also studied hard and learned the arts and martial arts, thinking that one day he could serve the country and do his part."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Very well. At this point, Mr. Tao and I should have a good understanding. In that case, you later worked for Huan Xuan?"
Tao Yuanming said indifferently: "Dajin implements a system of investigation and examination. To be an official, you need to have the reputation of celebrities or the recommendation of a family of high-ranking officials in the court. Tao also came to Jiankang twice that year. Cheng, I hope to be appreciated by the powerful and powerful, but unfortunately, I can't even enter the gate of the family. I was still in power by Wang Guobao. Not to mention him, even the outer gate of General Wang's house, I cannot enter."
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Yu. Wang Yu blushed and said loudly, "Nonsense, why don't I remember this? You, you are clearly framing me!"
Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head: "General Wang, Tao has no reason to frame you. Maybe you are sitting at home or traveling abroad, and you won't count the guests and carriages that the team wants to see at your door. How many are there, and I, a poor literati who doesn’t even have a carriage, can’t even speak Jiankang’s Mandarin, let alone you, even your housekeeper will drive me back.

Liu Muzhi smiled and shook his head: "It is said that the high door is as deep as the sea. It seems that the threshold of General Wang's house is also high enough. In this encounter of Mr. Tao, there must be many low-level talents who are not born high. Scholars have all experienced it, so there are no high-ranking scholars, and no high-ranking ones. This was said a hundred years ago, and it is the same now."
Wang Yu gritted his teeth: "The dog minion has eyes but no knowledge of the superior, let's see how I go back to clean him!"
Yu Yue said coldly: "Finally, General Wang, the situation in your family is not much different from each other. Presumably Mr. Tao had also been to my Yu, Xie and Xi's back then. But you are so smart. People who were famous at the time were also famous for such works as The Story of Peach Blossom Spring. Is it true that there is not even an identified friend who has been introduced?"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Tao, a mountain man, Taohuayuan was only spread out later in the Huanxuan Shogunate. When I came to Jiankang, I was unaccompanied and had no old knowledge, so I could only touch it by myself. Luck, in fact, even if I came to Jiankang, it was a entanglement given by Duke Yin. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to come to Jiankang, right, Duke Yin."
He looked at Yin Zhongwen who was sitting by the door, and Yin Zhongwen grudgingly squeezed out a smile: "Well, Tao Gong, great talent, Yin Mouxiang admires it. It's a little busy, just a little effort."
Yu Yue and Wang Mi looked at each other and smiled tacitly. They immediately understood what was going on. Tao Yuanming’s talent, Yin Zhongwen knew it naturally, but the more so, the less he could threaten him. He did not introduce Tao Yuanming to Yin Zhongkan’s men at the time, but gave him Some money asked him to go to Jiankang, and he didn’t write a letter or ask someone to recommend him. He clearly wanted Tao Yuanming to run into a wall, and finally returned to the mountains with frustration. In this way, he didn’t clearly offend Tao Yuanming. A reputation for giving generously, and even Tao Yuanming's gratitude, is not far-reaching.
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "However, we have lost our horses, and I know that we are not lucky. Although we did not find a way in Jiankang, but on the way back to Jingzhou, he accidentally walked with that Bian Fanzhi. At that time, he also wanted to go to Huan Xuan. Yes, I was recommended to Huanxuan’s shogunate as a documentary, and that Taohuayuanji, it was Bian Fanzhi who paid for the money and hired people to copy a lot of copies and spread them around, which made me famous."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "It turns out that Bian Fan did it. You are a literati who is good at writing essays and fus. But he is a counselor. The plot is a military and political matter. Moreover, in Huan Xuan's place, Bian Fan Zhi and Yin Taishou have always refused to give in to each other, leaving you a great talent, I am afraid that he also dealt with Yin Taishou. Isn't that the case, Yin Taishou?"
Yin Zhongwen said haha, "Well, this old thing is not worth mentioning, I am mainly, I mainly think that Bian Fanzhi is not right in his mind, and he always instigates Huan Xuan to commit troubles, and it can be said that Huan Xuan will finally make this rebellion. His instigation is indispensable."
Speaking of this, Yin Zhongwen paused and looked at Tao Yuanming: "However, Mr. Tao is a clear stream and did not go with them. I can testify to this. Bian Fan's attempt to usurp these acts will not follow. Mr. Tao discusses important matters. He even guards against me for fear that I will take the credit for him ~ EbookFREE.me~ let alone Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yin Taishou's words are extremely true, but it is also because I have been taught by my ancestors that I can't do anything to usurp. Actually, I don't know the reputation of the Huan family, but I had no way to serve the country. No one recommends him, so I can only stay in his shogunate temporarily. After all, Huan Xuan was the official Nanban captain of the imperial court at that time, and the governor of Guangzhou. As for the act of rebellion, it was a funeral. I worked for him at the time, and also for the imperial court. Effectiveness, I don't think there is any problem."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, in fact, we lower-level scholars have little power to choose. With this kind of general shogunate common sense, we are thankful for giving us a chance. As for Huan Xuan's subsequent rebellion, it was not us. What these people can stop, let alone you, the princes who are now full of houses, weren’t they always forced by the situation to become the courtiers of Huan Xuan? At this point, I don’t think anyone can demand Mr. Tao. ."
All the people present were ashamed and could not lift their heads. Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "But, just like Liu Zhenjun and Liu Changshi, who are loyal and righteous, they will forbear for a while and will eventually resurrect their country. Although Tao is no more than a literati, I have a low position, but I also have loyalty in my heart, thinking that one day I can do something for Dajin with my own strength. Originally, I was going to resign from the pseudo-Chu dynasty and go home, not working for it, but I didn’t expect that at this time It happened to meet Jianyi Jingkou, which also gave me a chance to serve the country."
