Chapter 040 Brothers and Conspiracy

After the report of Lu Xun's escape spread to Jiankang, the capital was very happy.

In Jingkou, the victorious division was welcomed by several court ministers sent by the emperor. Huang Enhao, as the commander of the army, Huan Xiu and his deputy generals, who joined the army, generals and all the soldiers who participated in the war, including some family members, were rewarded to varying degrees.

Liu Daolian is working in the Ministry of Ceremonies at this time. After the emperor knew that he was my second brother, he specially ordered him to accompany several ministers to Beijing to recompnish the army.

It is said that this is actually Huan Xuan's private arrangement. Huan Xuan took this opportunity to give our three brothers a chance to get together, which is also a kind of closeness and solicitation he expressed.

After this triumphant return, I returned home with my two younger brothers. My mother, wife and children, and Daolian's family were all very happy. There was a lot of joy all over the house on this day.

In the past few days, except for the occasional visiting dignitaries, I have been spending time with my two younger brothers and family. It is happy.

On this day, Daolian and Daogui and I tasted tea in the garden.

When Daolian and other servants left with only three of us left, he whispered to me, "Brother, have you ever heard the movement of Beijing?"

"What's going on in Beijing?"

"It's about the lieutenant."

"Is he recently..." As soon as I said this, I quickly stopped talking. Although I am very concerned about Huan Xuan's movements, I don't want to be too concerned in front of the two brothers.

I have never talked to my two younger brothers about what He Wuji is planning. In this regard, I remember something that happened in Jingzhou not long ago.

The owner of this matter is Luo Qisheng. He wanted to follow his father, Yin Zhongkan, and deliberately alienate his brother Luo Zunsheng. The purpose was to enable his brother to save his life and show filial piety to his parents. Therefore, even if He Wuji and I still lack enough personnel and conditions for the uprising, I don't want to show my true intentions in front of my two younger brothers or let them participate.

Dao Lian didn't care that I only said half of what I said, and then said, "Huan Xuan did move differently. However, my brother is too cautious. I can probably guess what you think, brother.

"Oh? Just say it."

Without waiting for Tao Lian to continue to talk, he grabbed the words and said, "Brother, with your talent and ambition, I'm afraid you won't live under people for a long time, right?"

"Who is under?"

"Who is She Huan Xuanqi?"

I said, "Your brother, I have never had such ambition. What kind of person is Duke Huan, and what kind of person is your eldest brother? The two are too far apart. If that's your ambition, it's more appropriate. Don't you always compare yourself and be happy? Do you compare yourself to Guan and Zhang again?"

"Why does the eldest brother always mention this? I just said that I would learn literature from Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and learn martial arts from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. No matter how ambitious I am, I can't easily compare with these sages and ancient generals. However, it is understandable for a man to devote himself to the study of governing the country.

I nodded and said, "I didn't expect that my brother's rules also knew how to be humble. Haha."

Dao Lian also laughed with me. Touched Daogui's head with laughter.

The rule said: "It's just facts... not to mention that. Brother, do you know? Huan Xuan wants to be emperor!"

"Where does the news come from? Daolian, have you heard the rumor in the court? I turned my head to Daolian.

Dao Lian did not answer directly: "Some things seem suspicious, but there is no wind and no waves. At present, the sound of wind and rain suddenly rises, and passers-by knows it. It's just hiding it from the border.

"All such things are extremely obscure. How can passers-by know it?"

"My brother's expedition against Lu Xun in the south is probably not clear about what happened in Beijing. You won't know that Liu Jingxuan and elegantly encouraged Liu Gui to oppose Huan Xuan in Shanyang. I think you know that Sun Wu was defeated and killed in the end. Huan Xuan defeated Liu and Gao, killed Sun Wucheng and others, and was full of ambition. This time, he calmed down Lu Xun again, which was even more arrogant.

When he first entered the imperial court to assist the government, he was still restrained; now he is as rampant as Zhao Gao pointing a deer as a horse, and his ambition is obvious. It is said that one day in the middle of the dynasty, Huan Xuan..."

"Let's go. Don't talk about these rumors." I interrupted Dao Lian's words, turned around and looked at the pond in the garden.

When I heard such a rumor, my heart was extremely complicated. First, I hope that Huan Xuan will be the emperor earlier, so that we can raise the flag and clearly fall. Second, I haven't seen He Wuji after returning to Beijing. I don't know if he has made any progress in contacting righteous people and preparing for volunteers in Beijing, and I don't know if it will be leaked. But I can't show these ideas in front of my brother.

When Dao Lian saw that I suddenly interrupted him, he felt a little puzzled and depressed.

At this time, Mrs. Zang Ai brought her daughter to the garden to serve tea. We also stopped the conversation. Daolian, Daogui and his wife met each other and exchanged a few words. Daughter Xingdi finished serving tea to the two uncles under the guidance of her mother, and her mother led her out of the garden. Madam is afraid of delaying our discussion.

When they left, I said to Dao Lian, "Don't say these words indiscriminately. After all, Duke Huan is an auxiliary minister. What if he is emperor, and what if he is not emperor?

Liu Daogui said, "There are only three of us here now. You might as well say something from the bottom of your heart. My brother is both a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty and a people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Huan Xuan threatened the emperor and ministers with his own force, thus ignoring his ministers and people and wanting to rebel. As a minister of Jin, do you really ignore this?"

"So what do you think can be Huan Xuan with my personal strength? Sima Yuanxian and Liu Laozhi held the weight of the generals and soldiers, relied on the prestige of the imperial court, and were still in a different place. What can I do as an ordinary general who is subject to others? If you just talk about catharsis, it's better not to talk about it.

"It's not true." The rules took over my words. As soon as I heard his speech, I knew that there must be a grand argument. I waved my hand quickly.

Taoist rules were a little anxious to see that I waved my hand and didn't listen to him. He stood up and said loudly, "Brother, please listen to me. If it were someone else, I would never say today's words, but because of you, I have to say it."

I hurriedly gestured to him to lower his voice.

Daogui sat down again and whispered, "Although the second brother, He Wuji, Liu Jingxuan and others are officials and generals, they have not made great achievements after all. Brother, you are different. I, Liu Daogui, have great ambition, but only in words; big brother, you have great ambition, but in your heart and in action. If you fail to defeat Sun En and defeat Lu Xun, maybe I will think that you really lack the strength to fight against Huan Xuan. But I witnessed with my own eyes that you led hundreds of people to defeat the battle of tens of thousands of Sun En. Brother, how can you be afraid of Huan Xuan when you are so powerful?

"This time, that time. Moreover, there were not only hundreds of people in Dantu, but more than 1,000 people. Although the total number of enemies is tens of thousands, we only have thousands against the enemy at the same time. You don't know anything about war, and you think your eldest brother is powerful. In fact, it's not true."

"Brother, I haven't been to the battlefield, and I don't know anything about war. Even so, Huan Xuan's soldiers in Jingzhou are only tens of thousands. Judging from this, as long as you have thousands of troops, you also have the strength to fight against Huan Xuan. This matter is of great importance, and you should weigh it well. The soldiers of the North are now panicked. Instead of waiting, it's better to take the opportunity to revolt. Instead of living in the world, Mo Ruo..."

"Okay, I know. Let's talk about something else." I put on an impatience and waved my hand at him again.

Taoist rules saw that the persuasion was ineffective. He looked at Daolian with his eyes, hoping that Daolian could help him say a few words. Daolian looked at the rules, looked at me again, shook his head, lowered his head and sighed, but said nothing more.

The Taoist rules see that even Taoist pity is helpless, and it is quite a little prunning. After sitting for a moment, he found an excuse to go out of the garden.

I was secretly happy. I know that the second brother Daolian has the heart to serve the country, but he is too moderate to do things and doesn't know how to be mutable. Although his younger brother is called "Taoism", he acts unconventionally and unconventionally. I really dare not let Taoism participate in such a big event. God knew that he would be interested one day and shook everything out when he was talking to people.

If others encouraged him to do something, then according to his personality, if he doesn't make a leak, it will also lead to the failure to end. After all, he is a "big man" who disdains those details and subtle endings. But if something is what he is willing to do, he can do it very well and can also have a beginning and an end.

In the current situation, I can't point out this matter. I am deeply gratified by the two brothers' views on the current situation and my expectations, but I began to hesitate whether to abandon the two brothers from our career. However, at present, I just hope that the rules will not do anything unusual because they can't convince me.

When Dao Lian saw that the Taoist rules had left, he asked me in a low voice, "Brother, I'm afraid you don't have any anti-Huan Xuan intention at all, are you?"

I was silent for a long time and said, "How do you think it is against the law?" I am no longer vague, but I don't explicitly admit it.

Dao Lian saw that my words at this time had the meaning of loosening mouth, and there was a trace of relief on his face: "Although Huan Xuan sent Jingzhou soldiers and Beifu army to station in Jingkou, and there were loyalists such as Huan Xiu and Huan Hong sitting here, Jingkou is after all, Jingkou has been operated by Beifu soldiers for many years. People may have dispersed, but their hearts have not dispersed.

At present, as long as someone waves their arms, the world is bound to respond. Liu Laozhi, Sun Wucheng and other Beifu generals have disappeared, and Gao Yazhi, Liu Jingxuan and other generals have also been defeated. It is the time when the Beifu army is unstable and Huan Xuan thinks he is proud.

"Oh."

"The instability of the military is only temporary. If there are people who have a stable military heart, the military heart is naturally controllable. Although Huan Xuan is proud, it is precisely his weakest opportunity. If you are proud, you must be careless, and if you are conceited, you must be arrogant. If you take advantage of your carelessness and attack him unprepared, maybe you can achieve great things.

"probable?"

"No. It is inevitable."

"This analysis is indeed a high argument. Haha. It's worthy of being my second brother of Liu Yu.

"These... are actually judgments of Taoism. I think he is reasonable, and I agree with him very much. I just don't know what my brother thinks about this?"

The analysis of the Taoist rules paraphrase made me make a decision that I don't know the consequences yet: no longer hide my motives. I stood up and said solemnly to Dao Lian, "Anti-Huan Xuan, it takes time."

Dao Lian's face showed a smile. He pulled down my sleeve and said, "Brother really has the intention to rise. Fortunately! Fortunately!!"

I looked around, and several tea-servants stood far away. I told them not to wait on them, and she had to be happy and leisurely. Seeing that our brothers were chatting happily, they simply ignored us and talked to themselves there.

I said to Dao Lian, "Don't talk to outsiders."

"Yes!" Daolian only agreed, but did not ask me what to do or how to do it. If it is a Taoist rule, he will definitely break the casserole and ask to the end.

Although my two brothers are from the same mother's womb, their personalities are completely different. Daolian has developed an indecisive nature since he was a child. Maybe it's because his age is close to me, so he can do whatever I want. Unlike Taoism, who is the youngest and favored by his stepmother, he likes to come out of everything. Only when something happens can I think of my mother or eldest brother to come forward to clean up the mess.

I left Daolian to eat in the house. I talked to him in detail in the study in the evening. I told him that I had let He Wuji go up and down and get in touch with the righteous people of one heart and virtue. Let Daolian only need to know it, and temporarily hide the rules of his younger brother. Daolian was very happy to hear that we had already begun to plot and have taken action.
