Chapter 278 Don't Say What You Say
[Among those in power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yuanxian provoked civil uprisings because of his untimely decrees, while Huan Xuan set up complicated regulations and erratic decrees, which led to complaints.

In response to chaos such as "Jin Gang relaxes and turmoil" and "Chen Dao specializes in doing things", Liu Muzhi set out to adjust and correct laws and regulations. Liu Yu set an example. With one act, the inside and the outside are forbidden." In just two or three days, the atmosphere of the court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty changed drastically.

What's even more rare is that because both of them were born in humble backgrounds, they hated the politics of the Eastern Jin dynasty. They worked together to rectify the administration of officials, and used the method of policy and examination to identify untrue scholars and filial piety, and reuse those who came from "humble" backgrounds but had real talents and real learning. , established the political structure of the Southern Dynasties "cold people hold secrets", and also paved the way for the later prosperity of the imperial examination system. 】

[Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi's monarchs and ministers knew each other, which aroused Liu Yi's jealousy.

Who is Liu Yi?His fortune history is actually very similar to that of Liu Yu, and he was born in a wealthy family.

Liu Yi also joined the soldiers of the Beifu and jointly attacked Huanxuan.

And the more similar they are, the more Liu Yi refuses to accept Liu Yu, "I push each other's ears with a momentary achievement, and you will say that I am not as good as Liu Yu!"

However, Liu Yi's repeated defeats made his reputation even more inferior to Liu Yu's. 】

[In the third year of Yixi (407), Wang Mi, the governor of Yangzhou and Lu Shangshushi, died. Liu Yi saw the opportunity to overthrow Liu Yu. Liu Yu is the governor of Yangzhou, and Meng Chang, the left servant, is in charge of the center.Liu Yi had a very good idea: either Liu Yu gave up Yangzhou, his fundamental land, or the outer town was restrained by the court.

"Yangzhou is fundamentally connected, and people cannot be faked." "If it is taught by others today, it should be controlled by others." Liu Muyi saw through Liu Yi's plan at a glance. My own plan, "When the public comes to Beijing, he will not dare to surpass the public and give the rest of the people." He also said the previous sentence "In ancient times, there was a coercion of the emperor to order the princes, but now is the time." 】

[Liu Yu entered the court to assist the government, and no one dared to stop him. He was also awarded the title of Shizhong, General Cheqi, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of Lushang Shushi, and the governor of Xu and Yanzhou, so he was able to control the power of the court , Liu Yi's calculation was completely in vain.

More importantly, Liu Muzhi had already predicted that Liu Yi and others would eventually fight Liu Yu: "The enemy is evenly matched, and they will eventually swallow each other." 】

"I feel that this person is very similar to a person from the Three Kingdoms period!"

"Perhaps it is a little narrow-minded to just attribute Liu Muzhi to a counselor."

"Liu Muzhi has insight into the current situation and has a far-sighted vision. He is a rare strategic talent!"

[In the sixth year of Yixi (410), when Liu Yu led his troops to attack Nanyan in the north, Lu Xun, the governor of Guangzhou, rebelled, and Liu Yi led his army to resist.Liu Yu was worried that Liu Yi was not his opponent, so he wrote a letter and agreed to fight the rebellion together. As a result, Liu Yi insisted on going his own way, leading to the destruction of the entire army. If Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi hadn't returned in time, Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, might have fallen again.

After the Lu Xun Rebellion was put down, Liu Yu also comforted and encouraged Liu Yi, but the two had long been in harmony.

Liu Yi hated what Liu Muzhi always said, and often persuaded Liu Yu to take Liu Muzhi's power.

But Liu Yu is not a fool, how could he cut off his arms after listening to the one-sided words of the imaginary enemy, but on the contrary, he trusted Liu Muzhi even more because of this. 】

[Liu Muzhi saw that Liu Yi "cannot be a subordinate, he will eventually become a heretic", so he reminded Liu Yu to take precautions.

Liu Muzhi assisted Liu Yu to expand his influence and employed those who were rejected by Liu Yi.

Xie Fangming and Cai Kuo were originally Liu Yi's best friends. After seeing Liu Yi's loss of power, the two visited Liu Muzhi.Liu Muzhi recommended the two to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu gave them a lot of attention.

In the seventh year of Yixi (411), Liu Yu felt that the time was ripe to eradicate Liu Yi, so he personally conquered Liu Yi.

Before the expedition, Liu Yu served as the governor of Yuzhou Zhuge Changmin and supervised the eunuch to stay in the government affairs, and Liu Muzhi assisted Zhuge Changmin in handling government affairs as General Jianwei. 】

[Zhuge Changmin is an old man who participated in the Jingkou uprising.

At this time, he saw Liu Yu eradicating dissidents, so he felt sad when the rabbit died.

Zhuge Changmin said to Liu Muzhi in private: "People in the world say that the Taiwei is not equal to me. Why?" Liu Muzhi saw that Zhuge Changmin had the intention of rebellion. "Your grandpa is marching west, and the old mother and weak brother entrust you with the general. What is the injustice?"

Under Liu Muzhi's flickering, Zhuge Changmin gave up his plan to take the opportunity to rebel.Soon after, Liu Yu put down Liu Yi's rebellion and returned to the capital.

Liu Muzhi had already informed Liu Yu that Zhuge Changmin had the intention of treason. After Liu Yu returned to the capital, he summoned Zhuge Changmin and killed him while he was off guard. 】

[After eradicating powerful ministers, Liu Yu targeted the Eastern Jin clan.

Sima Xiuzhi, the governor of Jingzhou, was quite popular because he was born in the clan and had a good reputation.

In the 11th year of Yixi (415 A.D.), Liu Yu led an army to attack Sima Xiuzhi, leaving Liu Muzhi to guard the capital. Liu Muzhi made decisions no matter how big or small.

Under Liu Yu's powerful offensive, Sima Xiuzhi was quickly defeated and forced to flee to Qin. 】

[As Liu Yu's right-hand man, Liu Muzhi guards the rear for Liu Yu and helps Liu Yu find a large number of talented and loyal talents.

For example, Xie Hui, the representative of the aristocratic family, came from the Xie family in Chenjun, with a noble family background.

Xie Hui is not only loyal to Liu Yu, but also very talented.When Liu Yu conquered the post-Qin period, "Ten strategies for entering the customs, nine of them are dark, and the talents are clear and practiced, and the internal and external must be fully appointed."

In addition to Xie Hui, later gentry talents such as Xie Fangming joined Liu Yu's camp. The addition of a large number of gentry reduced Liu Yu's resistance to changing the dynasty.

There are also Jiang Bingzhi, Zhang Shao, Yang Xuanbao and others from Jiyang who are poor scholars.
As for those who have no real name, even if they are of noble origin, Liu Muzhi also refuses to let them in.

For example, Wang Jingzhi, Wang Xizhi's grandson and Wang Xianzhi's son, was of noble birth and had a good personal relationship with Liu Muzhi, but he was rejected many times when he asked Liu Muzhi for an official position, because Liu Muzhi knew that Wang Jingzhi was only good at calligraphy , Not good at handling government affairs. 】

[In August of the 12th year of Yixi (AD 416), Liu Yu led the army to the Northern Expedition, and Luoyang and Chang'an were recovered one after another. After being captured alive, Yao Hong, the leader of the Qin Dynasty, was offered as a prisoner to Jiankang.

Since Liu Yao, the Hun captured Chang'an in 310, the banner of the Han people finally flew again in the ancient capital of Chang'an.

However, in such a good situation, Liu Yu ordered to stop the Northern Expedition, leaving only his 12-year-old son Liu Yizhen to guard Chang'an, and hurried back to Jiankang by himself.

Sima Guang recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": "Xin Wei, the death of Liu Mu, Tai Wei Yu heard about it, and those who mourned and mourned for days. At the beginning, Yu wanted to stay in Chang'an to manage the northwest, and all the generals served for a long time Thinking about returning, I don’t want to stay. The pawn of Hui Mu, Yu Yi had no support at all, so he decided to return to the east.”

From this passage, we can know a general reason why Liu Yu suddenly returned to Jiankang: First, the generals fought for a long time and missed their homeland, and most of them did not want to stay any longer;

The second is that Liu Muzhi, who stayed behind in Jiankang, died of illness on the third day of November that year. Since there was no one in the court who could entrust important matters, Liu Yu hurried back to Jiankang because he was afraid that the rear would be unstable. 】
