Vol 4 Chapter 2344: Take the lead and finally leave


As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and many people even talked loudly: "What, Tao Qian is not crazy, he wants to enter the shogunate as a documentary?"
"Yes, for such a great merit, it is worth noting a county guard, or even a county earl. It is not surprising that the official Zhishangshu. Although Liu Muzhi is a popular man today, he is a long history of the shogunate. Tao Yuanming shouldn’t rely on Liu Yu’s melee combat merits. Is that so?"
"Yes, he is not a military commander, nor can he have a better relationship than Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu. What is the picture?"
"Perhaps Tao Yuanming also wants to become Liu Yu's courage, so he will be promoted further in the future."
"Hey, if you say that, it is really possible. Liu Muzhi slightly lost his literary talent. Writing articles may be worse than Tao."
"But Liu Yu is not a person who loves style and elegance. These days, so many talented people have come to him to answer the scene and they have refused. On the contrary, those village officials who only settle accounts and collect rent and levy have collected a lot. I was angry. Even if Tao Yuanming was looking for a shogunate to stay, he should be looking for Liu Yi."
"Yeah, didn't he have worked with Liu Yi before, and brought Liu Yi's army to capture Jiangling. How come he came back to find Liu Yu?"
Tao Yuanming didn’t change his face. Listening to these remarks, Liu Yu’s eyes pierced and looked straight into his eyes, as if to see through his heart. Gradually, these discussions subsided, and the corners of Liu Yu’s mouth hooked: "Tao Sir, you must have heard everyone’s doubts, and I really want to hear what you think."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Is it difficult to answer this question? Because I came to you because I wanted to do things that the children of the aristocratic family disdained."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Tao, you are a famous scholar, scholar, and talented person in the world. Don't you feel wronged for doing these things?"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Don't be wronged, these are the real government affairs for ruling the country and the world, and they are what we need to do. If there is no one in the world to collect taxes and levies, then how can the country have the money to pay government officials? How can there be money and food to support the soldiers to defend their homes and the country, how can they be able to help the people in times of famine, and persuade them to teach agriculture in times of peace?"
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "But these things, the local officials can do it. The celebrities should talk about the mysteries, recite poetry and make fus, and make friends with mountains and rivers. Do these things all day long and talk to the lower class. The heads of Gui mingled together and made themselves smelly and dirty. How can there be that kind of noble demeanor? General Wang, don't you think?"
Wang Yu heard the ridicule in the words, his face flushed, and said, "Well, this, the children of the previous family may have some misunderstandings in this respect, but now..."
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Even now, there is no fundamental change in the situation. General Wang, from the bottom of your heart, you still look down on us country scholars. No matter how talented you are, it is difficult to enter the high gate of your Wang family. Therefore, I feel that I should still be a book official in the shogunate and do things that are useful to the country and the people of the world. Anyway, I am born in hardship, and I am not afraid of getting dirty or tired. Liu Zhenjun does not have to worry about getting me tired."
Liu Yu smiled slightly:
It’s okay to endure hardships and be overwhelmed. Many children of the aristocracy nowadays have given up decades of ease and enjoyment and have served the country in the military. I am afraid that they have suffered more in the past few months than in the past few decades. Can persist, Mr. Tao, why do you think it is?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Because after the general came to power, the imperial court ordered that the previous titles can no longer be attacked, and only the founding titles of major families can be inherited by the eldest sons, and the properties and manors of each family must be re-stated and taxed in accordance with the law. It can be said that the privileges of the aristocratic family have been greatly reduced. If you no longer contribute to the army, I am afraid that you will even have a job and livelihood in the future. General Liu, you have made the children of the aristocratic family work hard."
An angry scolding sounded from the hall in the courtyard: "Bold, Tao Yuanming, you actually underestimate our family's children so much, who gave you the courage to make you talk nonsense here?!"
"That is, we serve the country in the army. Obviously, we are clearly serving the court, and this is not the case. Back then, I followed Xie Zhenjun in Feishui."
"Don’t get excited, this Tao Qian is just a Jingzhou farmer who has never seen anything in the world. He doesn’t know about our family. He is just pretending to be shocking here. Just like the madman who runs naked and drums, he wants to attract People pay attention.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It seems that your words, Mr. Tao, hurt the hearts of a lot of family leaders. Today is Liu Changshi’s family banquet. You are here against the nobles in Jiankang City. I’m afraid that in the future It’s hard to stay here and develop."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I said that I only want to do things in the general's shogunate, and my Tao's character does not need to be in favor of others for promotion. Whether they like me or hate me, they have nothing to do with me. What? Just Liu Zhenjun, you give me a chance, let me show my skills and abilities, and use me if I feel comfortable with it. If I can't satisfy you, let me go home and farm. Isn't that all right?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Mr. Tao, I will discuss the matter of entering my shogunate later. I know your request, and we all recognize your merits. You have been all the way from Jingzhou. Eat and drink well, and then go back to the official post, tomorrow morning, we will formally discuss your request."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Then wait for the general's decision. Tao said goodbye."
As he said, he turned around and walked towards the door. Liu Muzhi said from behind: "Tao Gong, why don't you leave after finishing your meal? The banquet is not over yet?"
Tao Yuanming kept walking under his feet, and continued to walk out: "It’s not always the way to be a guest~EbookFREE.me~, Tao Mou disturbed Liu Changshi’s feast on official business today. , A must-have wine for another day, apologize to Liu Changshi."
When he finished speaking, his figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate of the compound. Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Wang Yu said bitterly: "Liu Zhenjun, this Tao Qian is too arrogant. He looks at our nobles in Jiankang City as nothing. If you recruit him, I'm afraid that many of the family's children will no longer go to your house to serve. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The celebrities in this world are always a little arrogant. If General Wang hadn't rejected him back then, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so cynical and wouldn't accept him. I have to go up and ask the mansion tomorrow. Wenwu’s opinion is that if I really accept him, I hope everyone will unite and stop conflicts."
Having said that, Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "Mu Zhi, today seems to be the protagonist of the banquet. They are your two brothers-in-law. Just now it has been so long as Tao Yuanming said that the hostess is overwhelming. Now the hostess is gone. The Lord should be on the court, too."
