Three hundred and seventy-two, the plight of the Tan family
"Second brother!" Seeing that Tan Cang was stubborn, Tan Yuyu hurriedly said: "That, that jade seal is a fake!" If you win the auction and bring the fake jade seal back to Liu Song, Liu Yilong may have to embarrass you! ”
Tan Zhi was not as anxious as his younger brother, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that if we lose the bet, the emperor will let the Tan family go?" ”
Tan Yuyu is dumb, yes, since Liu Yilong sent his brothers to escort the auction, and has the financial support of Wang Xie's family, if he loses, he will definitely be held responsible.
Invite Yu frowned, "The charge of losing the auction is much lighter than spending a lot of money to buy a fake one back." This time I was really put on a show by the Dead Emperor! ”
Tan Zhi sighed, "This time, it's not the emperor's fault. He didn't force us to ask for the jade seal directly from you, he was already benevolent and righteous. Besides, he asked us to come just to get the real jade seal. ”
Invite Yu didn't think so, "He didn't dare to persecute you because he was afraid that I would open the country to the Northern Wei Dynasty." At that time, the southwest area of Liu Song will not be wanted. Even if you can't capture Jiankang in one go, you can swallow Liu Song little by little by cannibalizing. ”
Tan Zhi was a little helpless, he knew that his little sister was angry with the emperors of Liu Song, but his personal grievances must not be the master before the country's righteousness.
"Yu'er, my brothers know that you are wronged. I also know that the Southern Song Dynasty is far from being peaceful and prosperous, and the politics are harmonious. But remember that your father and brother will fight for the rest of their lives to defend this land. It's not that we're stubborn, pedantic and prejudiced, you've walked through the North yourself. How the Hu people enslaved and abused the Han people now, you should have heard it yourself. If the Hu people are allowed to go south and their country is no longer there, do you know how many innocent people will die because of this? ”
Tan Yuyu turned his head and didn't speak. When she was Qiu Chi Xianji, the Han people she came into contact with were more Han people like Cui Hao, who were recruited by the Hu people and became officials in the court.
Although she was in a hurry along the way to the Northland, she also experienced some things firsthand. In the righteous house of the Heavenly Master's Dao, all the people who took in were homeless and even cornered Han people.
The high and deep palace walls of Tongwan City are mostly used by Han slaves. The bones of the Han people are also buried in the city walls. In that deserted corner on the east side of the city, there were once people living and thriving in it, but their lives were eventually dissipated in the flames of war and exploitation......
Tan Invite Yu doesn't understand these things. What she doesn't understand is why she has to be loyal to Liu Song?
"Big brother doesn't have to know me with affection, move with reason. I'm not a person who doesn't know things. I only ask the eldest brother, why does it have to be the emperor of Liu Song? Which emperor of the Liu family is worthy of your allegiance? My father and brothers want to protect their family and defend the country, I have nothing to say, but the general who is so suspicious of the emperor can really let go of his hands and feet and recover the rivers and mountains? ”
Tanzhi's brows tightened more and more, "What do you want to say?" ”
Tan Cang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly gaged: "Big brother, little sister, let's finally meet, it's better to sit down and catch up." Big brother, don't make a face, the little sister is not me, she has rough skin and thick flesh, you are so fierce, it is time to scare her. ”
Invite Yu didn't seem to hear the second brother's words, and said bluntly: "What I want to say, the eldest brother knows it in his heart, but he doesn't want to mention it." Ask me, and I will say. The Tan family should have reversed a long time ago. Only when Daddy has real power can the south defend against foreign enemies and even recover the north. ”
Tan Cang gasped in a hurry, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense!" Big brother, don't be angry, little sister is not serious. ”
In fact, Tan Cang's idea is the same as inviting rain. He couldn't stand the grievances of being constrained everywhere. But every time he showed a tone similar to that of dissatisfaction with the court, he would be severely taught a lesson by his eldest brother and father. It's okay to be beaten yourself, but you can't let your sister suffer anymore.
But to Tan Cang's surprise, Tan Zhi was not angry, not even a trace of anger. He raised his head and began to look around the room.
Tan Yuyu interrupted him loudly, "Big brother, don't look at it, these are all my henchmen." No one will leak half a word. ”
Tan Zhi turned his gaze back to Tan Yuyu's face. For the first time, he deeply felt that his sister had grown up. It's no longer the soft, fight-and-deliberately loser of the group.
Just now in the main hall, Tan Yuyu's expression changed from joy to fierceness, and the instantaneous changes fell into Tan Zhi's eyes. The murderous aura that swelled out of her body in an instant was beyond the reach of even him, the eldest brother who had been rolling on the battlefield all day.
It's not surprising that my sister will have her own ideas. She is different from Tan Cang. Tan Cang was disciplined by him and his father all the way. But Invite Yu has never received much pampering and discipline.
Tan Zhi found a chair, sat down with the front of his robe, pointed to the opposite side, and calmly said to Yu Yu: "Yu'er, you can sit too." ”
Tan Invite Yu was stunned by Tan Cang, and walked to the opposite side of the eldest brother and sat down.
Tan Zhi exhaled, as if he had finally been relieved after a long period of fatigue, and said lightly, "I used to think the same as you. ”
As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhaoyu and Tan Cang were stunned as if they had been struck by thunder. They looked at their eldest brother, who had always been unsmiling and obeying their father's arrangements in everything, and once suspected that their ears had heard it wrong. Tan Cang stood up even more because of surprise, pulled the wound, and let out a "eh" in pain.
Tan Zhi swept over with an eye, and Tan Cang immediately retracted back on the bed, allowing the imperial doctor to continue to diagnose and treat.
After Tan Inviteyu's initial surprise, he quickly calmed down, "Big brother said that you used to think the same as me, so what about now?" ”
Tan Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yu, "Now, I know, what I know and learn about being in charge of a country has always been a leopard in the tube. ”
Tan Zhi paused, and then said, "Daddy is the same as Emperor Wu, we only know how to fight. Perhaps Daddy's way of employing troops is unmatched by no one in the world, but in addition, we don't know anything about how to deal with government affairs, how to rectify official governance, how to clarify the calendar, how to control floods, salt, grain, and taxation. How can such a Tan family govern a country well? ”
Tan Yuyu said disdainfully, "Could it be that Liu Yu understood this when he usurped the throne?" If the emperor understands everything, what else do you want your courtiers to do? Before I became Qiu Chi Xianji, I didn't know anything but kill people, and now I still govern this place well! It's a big deal to recruit wise men and enter the court as officials. The Xie clan and we are also considered in-laws, and as long as the clan has their support, there will be no big storms. ”
