[Liu Muzhi was born in a poor family, he loves reading since he was a child, and he is quite talented, but he does not have the sour atmosphere of a scholar.

According to historical records, Liu Muzhi loves drinking, food, and betel nut.

His family was very poor and couldn't satisfy his hobbies, but his wife was born in the Jiang family and had a solid family background, so he often went to his wife Jiang's brother's house to "play the autumn breeze", which also caused the Jiang brothers to be dissatisfied and ridiculed him: "Betel nut is eaten, you are often hungry, why do you eat it."

But Liu Muzhi didn't think so, and in the end, his wife couldn't stand it, so she cut off her hair and sold it for money, giving her brother as Liu Muzhi's meal money. 】

[In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the royal family declined, local uprisings continued, and the imperial court became more and more powerless for local rule.

After Huan Xuan became emperor, the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in danger, and Liu Muzhi, who was the main book of Langya, also plummeted.

Coupled with the endless warlord fighting everywhere, the rise of political forces on all sides, and the emergence of various political figures, under the blow of the peasant uprising, the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty gate lord regime was shaky. 】

[In the third year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (399 AD), Sun En, a member of the southern Hanmen clan, gathered hundreds of people to rise up in Shangyu, Zhejiang, and eight counties such as Huiji County and Wu County all rebelled in response, and Sun En gathered hundreds of thousands of people at once, and the momentum was huge.

Then his brother-in-law Lu Xun and Xu Daofu persisted in the struggle until the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (411 AD), and at its peak, they occupied half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi, Xie Yan, the son of Xie An, Xie Miao, Xie Miao, the Taishou of Yongjia, Sima Yi, and Xie Chong, the squire of the Yellow Gate, were killed one after another, and the power of the southern scholars suffered a major blow. 】

[In the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the prefectures, counties, and towns relied on force and annexed each other, completely out of the control of the Jiankang court.

Huan Xuan, the son of Huan Wen, relied on the foundation of several generations of the Huan family, and supervised the military of Jiangzhou, Yangzhou and Yuzhou, a total of eight counties, led the Jiangzhou Assassin History, and successively killed Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Yang Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou.

He won the final victory in the power struggle at the top of the clan at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and became a political and military force capable of subverting the Jin court.

In the first year of Yuanxing of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (402 AD), Huan Xuan's wings were full, so he lured Liu Gaozhi and killed Sima Daozi, Sima Yuanxian, Yu Kai, Sima Shangzhi, etc., who were in power in the Jin Dynasty, and then removed Liu Gaozhi, and the Beifu army was leaderless. 】

[In 403 AD, Huan Xuan changed the Yuan to "Yongshi", abolished Emperor An of Jin as the king of Pinggu, and established the Huan Chu regime.

From the first two years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (397 AD) before the general Wang Gong contacted Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yin Zhongkan to crusade against the kingdom treasure, to the first year of Yongshi Huan Xuan swept away the heroes and established Huan Chu, the gate lord clan at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought to the death in order to compete for the highest power, which seriously weakened the power of the gate lord clan, Sima Daozi, Sima Yuanxian, Wang Gong, Yin Zhongkan, Yang Yanqi, Yu Kai and a large number of prominent royal families and high-ranking scholars withdrew from the historical stage, providing opportunities for the rise of Liu Yu, Liu Muzhi and other Han scholars. 】

[As we all know, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if the poor wanted to enter the ranks and forge ahead, they needed to be promoted and recommended by the family, but at most they could only hold some positions that were not in the stream.

After Liu Muzhi became famous in Jingkou, he was appointed as the main secretary by Langya Neishi Jiangyi.

The main book is the staff, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, most of them were recruited by the ministers themselves, in charge of the sealing of documents and archives and giving advice.

The Jiang family is a prominent family, Jiang's father Jiang Yu, the official to the official department of Shangshu, the general of the right army, and the servant of Shangshu.

Liu Muzhi married the daughter of the Jiang family, the purpose of which was to use the help of the Jiang family to seek a successful career.

However, due to the influence of the social atmosphere of the Gaomen clan rejecting the Hanmen clan, the Jiang family not only did not help introduce Liu Muzhi, but often humiliated him.

Although Liu Muzhi has a high literary literacy and political ability, he did not show himself in the position of chief secretary, and sometimes even did not have enough to eat, in the final analysis, this is determined by the political system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty gate lords who were dictatorial to the scholars. 】

[Huan Xuan, the representative of the wealthy scholars, openly proclaimed himself emperor, indicating the arrival of an era of collapse of the old system that often reversed the old system, and also indicated that the historical opportunity of the Hanmen clan represented by Liu Muzhi was coming.

Liu Muzhi is located in the well-informed Jingkou of Jifu, which has convenient transportation and is well-informed, and has a deep understanding of the situation in the world and the political forces of all parties.

However, Liu Muzhi did not take refuge in others until the third year of Yuanxing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (404 AD), Liu Yu led the generals of Beifu to revolt in Jingkou, and Liu Muzhi surrendered to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu came from a humble background, started with military merits, and in his early years, he followed the famous general Liu Gaozhi in Beifu, and made many meritorious contributions in the battle with Sun Enlu Xun's rebel army, so he had a certain prestige in the Beifu army by virtue of his military exploits.

After Liu Gaozhi's death, Liu Yu naturally became the leading figure in the Beifu army.

In February of the third year of Yuanxing, Liu Yu led the generals of the Beifu Army to rebel against Huan Xuan, conquered Jingkou, and was pushed by everyone to be the leader of the alliance and moved to Jingyi. Liu Yu's subordinate He Wuji recommended Liu Muzhi to him, and Liu Yu was overjoyed and immediately hired as the chief bookkeeper.

Making the choice to take refuge in Liu Yu is a choice made by Liu Muzhi after repeatedly thinking about various forces over the years.

He chose Liu Yu for the following reasons: First, Liu Yu did not have a high level of education, lacked political strategy and political talents, they were all born in poor families, and there was no barrier between the gate valve classes.

Again, Liu Muzhi is a humble man, who has nothing but strategy, and he must rely on others and rely on the strength of others to give full play to his wisdom and realize his lofty political ambitions.

In the end, Liu Yu himself is also a generation of heroes, and even Huan Xuan, who is called the emperor, called him "the hero of the first generation".

Only a hero like Liu Yu, who has the ambition and ability to unify the world, can have the mind to know, use, and do his best, and can help Liu Muzhi achieve his political goals.

Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other, which can be said to be a match made in heaven.

The book "Alien Garden" also records a legend of Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi's meeting: "Liu Muzhi, a native of Dongguan, lives in Beijing. At the beginning, he was the master of Langya Mansion, tasted a dream and Emperor Wu across the sea, encountered a strong wind, looked down at the boat in shock, and saw the two white dragons clamping the boat. Even to a mountain, the mountain peaks are beautiful, and the meaning is very pleasant. Trying to cross the Yangtze River again, the dream of two boats as a boat, on the canopy, the decoration is very prosperous to ascend to heaven, both know, there is an old grandmother asked: 'Did you have a good dream last night?' Mu Zhi is said. "My grandmother said, 'You will be in the right place.'" Words are gone. Houguan to the servant shot Danyang Yin, with Yuan Gong also. ”】

"Wow! That's pretty high. ”

"Actually, it's not that Liu Muzhi doesn't want to enter the circle of wealthy families, it's just that the Eastern Jin Dynasty class is solidified, and he can't get in."

"The water flows low, and the people go high, who doesn't want to go further?"

[In the history of China, due to the difference in population and productivity between the north and the south, the national strength of the north has always been ahead of the south.

Although several northern expeditions were carried out in the south during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they failed to recover the former capital Chang'an.

The only time in Chinese history that the south won the north was only the time when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had to praise: "Old Zhu is awesome!" ”】

"Hahahaha! Thank you Su Shangshen for the compliment! Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was about to laugh.

"Since the First Emperor, the most righteous person in the country, the Ming Dynasty is unsurpassed!"

"If Ming Taizu kills fewer people, the Ming Dynasty may be stronger, right?"
