Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4229: Appreciate the master?? Seek to be promoted

Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he looked directly at Tao Yuanming: "You are lying to Yin Zhongkan, can you use the strength of your Tao clan in Jingzhou to help him?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to play tricks like Qiankun, so what does Yin Zhongkan want to use me? He invited me to his military mansion before because I am a celebrity in the world , a famous poet, and the Tao family is considered a prominent family in Jingzhou. Although it has declined, there are still many members of the Tao family in the mountains. Compared with him, Yin Zhongkan, who came to Jingzhou recently, has no relatives, and all the officials and big families belong to the Huan family.

Liu Yu nodded: "Then why didn't Mrs. Huan come to befriend you Mrs. Tao?

"It's just that Tao Yuanming, the ancestor who died in the past, gritted his teeth: later, all the schools were at odds, and you fought over each other, causing outsiders to take advantage of the vacancy. All the properties of my Tao family in Jingzhou's towns were emptied. Being able to return to the mountains and plains, by the time Huan Wen took over Jingzhou, our Tao family had already returned to the mountains and forests, and became a barbarian in the eyes of the people. The corners of Yu's mouth curled up: "I think the Tao family is also a high-ranking family in Jingzhou, but I didn't expect to be able to get mixed up in this field.

Tao Yuanming sneered and said, "How are you better than our Tao family? Your ancestors were also the founding king of Chu in the Han Dynasty, and your father and grandparents were also officials in states and counties. Liu Jinu, who is not alive? We are both down and out, so why bother to laugh at each other?

Liu Yu waved his hand: "I didn't mean to ridicule you, I just lamented the decline of the middle way in your family, is it because of this that you are so cynical?

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "No, I am just like you. Although I was born in a poor family, I did not give up on myself. My ancestors did not leave us any wealth or power, but they left some books. I have been familiar with various books since I was young. Acquiring a whole body of talent, when you practice martial arts every day, I am studying essays every day, so in the end you become a famous warrior in the world, and I become a famous poet.

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed a complicated look, "It's just that I'm out of luck. When the family was all over the world, I paid attention to literary talent, but you caught up with the battle between fat and water, and you haven't been valued for many years." However, my martial arts morality has become the most important ability in this era, but I don't even have the opportunity to be a Muliao of the Huan clan in Jingzhou. I can only be a small teacher in a remote village for nearly ten years. .

"Liu Yu, do you know what I was thinking when I heard your battle stories and saw that you were promoted all the way through the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Are you jealous? Do you think you, Liu Yu, a martial artist, can get these things? How unfair is this world!

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "No, Liu Yu, I didn't think so. The ancestor of the family, Duke Kan, also relied on fighting to sit in Jingzhou, and his power shook the world. I have always known that in this world, if you really want to seize power, you must be in charge of the army. If I hadn't been weak and sick since I was a child, I couldn't practice martial arts. I would not be what I am now, just a poet.

Liu Yu nodded: "It's a pity, you should be a talent like Mu Zhi, not someone who can only recite poems and Fu, the reason why your poems are famous all over the world, while other political talents are unknown, I'm afraid It's because in this world, if you want to be a celebrity, you have to stay away from those common affairs and government affairs.

Tao Yuanming sighed: "Yes, if you want to be a celebrity, you have to ignore common things. Just like what Wang Gong said, if you want to be a celebrity, you need to drink hard, read Li Sao well, and be good at talking. So, I wrote So many poems, just want to have the opportunity to enter the shogunate of famous ministers and officials, and get the chance to be promoted. Only when you become an official and take power, you have the opportunity to show what you have learned in your life.

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "I understand a little bit. You joined Wang Po's school and became his disciple because you wanted to take advantage of the Langke Wang family's reputation to become his student and disciple, and at the same time make friends with famous people in Jiankang City. Brother of the family, recommend you to be an official in the future?

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, the Huan family is in Jingzhou, and they have never looked up to my Tao family, so we don't want to do it for him.

They became officials, and after Huan Wen died, the power was transferred to his younger brother Huan Chong, but Gui Xuan was ambitious, and sooner or later he would regain the Jingzhou he had lost. Under the circumstances, even if I come out to serve the Huan family, if I vote for the wrong lord, everything will be over. Therefore, after I first became known as a talented person, I tried my best to resign from the teaching post, and took the opportunity of a study tour in the capital to join Wang Po's name, hoping to have the opportunity to develop in Jiankang.

Liu Yu laughed: "It's a pity, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com You didn't count, Wang was ordered by Xie Xianggong to have his wife Po fall out with Xie's family. His son, who is also the daughter of Xie's family, had a relationship with Wang. After the divorce, Wang Po has become a neglected figure in the capital. According to your words, you just voted for the wrong lord.

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "I don't think I voted for the wrong lord. I became classmates with Yin Zhongkan, because their Yin family and Huan family have a deep hatred. This is also a coincidence. Among Wang Po's many students, I am the only one." He is from Jingzhou, so he hit it off with me and became friends, but I really didn't know that Wang Xun was the guardian of the mafia. To be honest, my relationship with him can only be said to be average. He will probably never tell me about the black hand.

Liu Yu nodded: "So when Yin Zhongkan invited you to Jingzhou, Wang Po found you before that and asked you to join the mafia?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yes, probably because they seldom go to Jingzhou. They don't know the real situation of our Tao family. They think that the Tao family is the same as their family in Jiankang City. There are rotten boats and three catties of nails. There are always some old students. And so on, plus I wrote the story of Taohuayuan, they thought I was describing the true strength of our Tao family, so Wang Po, a guard who had never mastered the resources of the White Tiger family, turned against each other among the four major guards of the mafia, causing endless civil strife At that time, I had other thoughts. Wang Po wanted to recommend me to be the chief historian in Jingzhou, and took the opportunity to seize the resources of the cabinet family and help him return to Jingzhou!
