Chapter 416 Conflicts of Interest and Separation of Interests
Murong Fu was relieved, "Similarly, Shuang'er is younger than Qing'er, and she also needs to be loved by her brother and taken care of by her sister." β
"If Qing'er is in trouble in the future, my sister will also stand firmly by your side and protect you as a relative, as a family member."
Xue Qing listened to her father's teachings, and suddenly understood something, and then when she looked at her babbling sister, the loss in her eyes was reduced a lot, and she took the initiative to stretch out her little hand.
Shuang'er just woke up, when she was the most lively, she waved her little hand and grabbed Xue Qing's little thumb directly, a pair of bright and innocent eyes, smiling like two crescents, very cute.
"What about the soft ......"
Xue Qing felt the temperature coming from her little finger, and couldn't help but reach out and poke Shuang'er's face.
Shuang'er was stunned, and grabbed Xue Qing with her other hand.
Xue Qing subconsciously stretched her face over, Shuang'er held her cheek with a small hand, and suddenly kissed it, which suddenly frightened Xue Qing and took a few steps back.
"Jia...... Jiajia ......"
Shuang'er waved her little hand while shouting something hard, although her speech was slurred, but in Xueqing's ears, the little girl was obviously shouting "sister". π’.π ππ³ππ.πΎπΎπ Ό
"Shuang'er is so good, call my sister again, my sister will buy you sugar gourds to eat!"
Xue Qing hurriedly came over and pasted the little girl's face, with an excited smile on her face.
Murong Fu looked at the two sisters who were harmonious, and his heart was indescribably gratified.
As a man, he not only has less considerate care for the confidants around him, but also has too much companionship and understanding of his children.
Before this, he didn't expect that Qing'er, who was the most favored at home, would actually have a resistance after suddenly having a younger sister, if he didn't happen to find out today, he was afraid that it would leave a lot of shadow in the hearts of the two children in the future.
Just as Murong Fu was sighing about this, the housekeeper of Murong Mansion came to report that it was the patriarch of the Jurchen clan, Wanyan Aguta, who asked to see him.
Murong Fu seemed to have a guess, and after letting Xue Qing take her sister to find her aunt first, she came to the living room alone.
"I've seen the head of the Murong family!"
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a felt hat, animal skin, and boots, appear in front of Murong Fu and bowed.
He came alone, and there was no retinue around him, which shows his courage.
Murong Fu politely replied, and also recognized that the man in front of him was the current patriarch of the Jurchen clan, Wanyan Aguta, and the founding emperor of Dajin who opposed the founding of the Liao country in history.
"Patriarch Wanyan came here today, I don't know what you are doing?"
After Murong Fu invited him to sit down, a maid added new tea to him.
Wanyan Aguda has been extremely powerful since he was a child, and he has always been the most powerful warrior in the Jurchen clan, and he is the son of the patriarch, so he has never been convinced, but it was not until he saw Murong Fu that he really admired a person from the bottom of his heart.
The other party, whether it is Wen Taowu or marching and fighting, is above him, so his attitude towards Murong Fu is also very respectful.
"I came here uninvited today, because I want to ask the head of the Murong family for advice, and I hope that the head of the family can give some suggestions to my clan."
Murong replied, "Patriarch Wanyan might as well say it bluntly and do his best." β
Wanyan Agu said, "The battle for imperial power in the Liao Kingdom, presumably the head of the Murong family knows better than anyone else, I am a rough person, so I will not sell Guanzi in front of the head of the family." β
"The head of the family should know that my Jurchen tribe has always suffered from the oppression and humiliation of the Liao people, and now the two major regimes of the Liao State are contending, whether they win or lose, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation, and when either side decides the winner, it will also be the weakest time for the Liao State."
"At present, many of my Jurchen clansmen can only continue to live in the cold land around Changbai Mountain because of land problems, for the sake of my clansmen, and in order to resist the oppression of the Liao State over the years, my Jurchen clan plans to take the opportunity to attack the border cities of the Liao State and expand their power, I don't know what the head of the Murong family thinks?"
Wanyan stared at Murong Fu with burning eyes.
"This is a major military event of the nobles, why is the Wanyan patriarch so trustworthy and frankly told him?"
Murong Fu glanced at him meaningfully, took a sip of tea, and asked without being salty.
Wanyan Agu saw that he saw his thoughts, and he was not embarrassed and said, "I can't hide it, although there are many clansmen in my Jurchen tribe, but in the face of the vast territory of the Liao State, I don't have the slightest confidence that I can take it all, even if I capture the state city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend it." β
"Therefore, I want to form an alliance with the Murong family master on behalf of the entire Jurchen clan and take advantage of the situation to attack the Liao State."
"I believe that if the allies of the Murong family and the Yanbei Army join, we will definitely be able to cut off the head of the emperor of the Liao State and carve up this northern land together."
Wanyan Aguta's eyes were full of ambition and desire, and he said passionately.
Murong Fu laughed at this.
"I have already learned the strength of the Jurchen clan, and I believe that under the leadership of the Wanyan patriarch, I can get the rest of the clan out of that barren land, but the current prestige of the Jurchen clan is far from enough to form an alliance with me."
After Yan Agu inquired, he couldn't help but be a little shocked and said, "I don't know what the head of the Murong family thinks, what is still lacking in my Jurchen clan?" β
Murong replied: "What is lacking is potential!" β
"Potential?"
Wanyan was puzzled.
"Strictly speaking, there are still many tribes in the Jurchen tribe today who are not completely subservient to the patriarch, right? If you want to achieve great things, 'time, place, and people' are indispensable, such as today, you occupy Liaoyang Mansion and other places, barely count a geographical advantage, in the end, it is also the most critical person and, but it is really a lot worse. β
Murong Fu sighed.
"What does the head of the Murong family mean is that as long as I unify all the tribes of the Jurchen clan, I will be qualified to form an alliance with the head of the family?"
Wanyan Aguda rekindled his confidence.
He had come to ask Murong Fu for advice and help, so he was naturally not afraid of the other party hitting him.
Murong replied, "This is one of them, unifying the tribe is just the first step, if you want to truly achieve 'harmony', you need the entire Jurchen clan to work together and gather the power of faith, which is what I just said."
"Forgive me for being foolish and not quite able to understand what the head of the family said."
Wan Yan asked nervously.
Murong Fu glanced at him, and said with an unfathomable expression, "If you want to unite the people and gather faith in a short period of time, the easiest way is to build a state, so that the people of the Jurchen tribe have a place of faith, and only then can the so-called 'momentum' be formed." β
"When you have this 'momentum', your Jurchen clan will be able to move forward without hindrance."
"It's not that we are living in the shadow of being exploited and oppressed by the Khitans."
Wanyan Agu inquired and breathed heavily, and his eyes became more and more determined.
It's not that he hasn't thought about what Murong Fu said, it's just that his Jurchen clan is under the banner of the tribe at this time, and if he is defeated in the future, he will still leave a room for future generations, but if he dares to openly seize the territory of the Liao State and establish a country and become the emperor.
That was undoubtedly determined to fight to the death with Liao.
When interests conflict, there is still the possibility of mediation, but if it comes time to divide interests, it is a life-and-death situation.
