Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 2 Aiming for the Northern Expedition
"From then on, I will bother Uncle Tian." Zhao Yue bowed to Tian Qi.

"How does this make it happen? Brother Lin is going to inherit the great man's foundation in the future. Our brothers returning from the north will have to rely on Brother Lin in the future. They are all from our own family. Why bother? Brother Lin is too born separated."

Tian Qi is an old man who followed Zhao Xun. He is well-known in Zhao Xun's trilogy. Zhao Xun also values ​​him very much and entrusts the safety of his hometown in Jiankang to his hands.

"Since brother Lin is back, let's go to the inner hall to meet the mistress."

Zhao Yue and his party entered the backyard. Obviously, the mistress Zhou already knew the news of Zhao Yue's return from the backyard.

"Qiu Ju has come to call, Xiao Lang should be quick, the mistress just came back from her mother's house, she is not in a good mood."

Can you be in a good mood when you come back from Yixing Zhou's place?

Zhao Yue stretched out his clothes and went to the inner hall of the backyard.

The inner hall is the first floor of the double-storey attic, and the second floor is where intimate and distinguished guests are received.

On the forehead of the attic, there is a three-rise arch, with scrolls at the end of the arch, and a herringbone arch between the capitals. The main ridge of the roof and the tail of the owl are connected to form a soft curve, and the eaves are far-reaching, giving people a solemn and soft integration The patterns engraved on it are mainly curly grass and twigs, which are very elegant and gorgeous.

The mullion railings are laid horizontally in the middle, the column base is high, the lotus petals are long and narrow, and the platform base has bricks to spread water and xumizuo.

Flowy, unrestrained, vigorous and lively. This is the first impression of this loft on Zhao Yue.

Entering the inner hall, there is a bottle of incense burner in the hall, and green smoke is curling up at this time. There are cushions and food on both sides of the incense burner, obviously for entertaining guests, and calligraphy, paintings and swords are hung on the walls.

And on the main seat of the Chaomen, there is a mid-mature woman sitting at the moment, behind the woman are two beautiful maids standing, and behind the woman is a green bamboo screen.

The layout of the entire inner hall is gorgeous and contains connotations, and it also shows the heritage of the family.

"The child greets the mother."

"Lin'er, come here." Mrs. Zhou patted the empty seat beside her and motioned Zhao Yue to sit up.

As for Lin'er
It was Zhao Yue's nickname. After Zhao Xun returned to the north, all his descendants died. After getting Zhao Yue, he naturally regarded Zhao Yue as a unicorn.

Before sitting still, Mrs. Zhou took Zhao Yue's hand and touched Zhao Yue's forehead, the doting look in her eyes was beyond words.

"I heard that you asked Tian Qi for a master who will teach you the art of war?"

"Yes."

Hearing Zhao Yue's return, Zhou's expression suddenly became serious.

"Soldiers are fierce, don't you know what will happen to the Shen family and our Zhou family? If you don't learn scriptures and biography from Master Shu Xiu, how can you learn the work of these rough people? Don't you northerners always look down on warriors? If you learn these , isn’t it being ridiculed by others?”

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was an ethos of advocating literature and despising martial arts. The children of the gentry paid attention to applying powder and fragrance, being graceful, waving five strings, and boasting. Who would like to practice martial arts with sweat?

In addition, the Yixing Zhou family used martial arts to violate the ban, which made the Zhou family even more afraid of practicing martial arts.

you northerners
It seems that this cheap old lady still has resentment in her heart.

But it's normal, when ninety-nine percent of your family members are killed by Beiren, you definitely don't have a good impression of Beiren.

"Father also has martial arts."

Zhao Yue could only use cheap Lao Tzu as a shield.

"Your father, your father is now in Huainan, and you don't even dare to see me, hmph! A man with no conscience, a betrayer, why mention him!"

"Mistress, Mr. Lang is still here." The maid Dongmei hastily stepped forward to remind her.

"Humph!"

Regarding this, Zhou just turned her head slightly and snorted coldly.

After Zhao Xun returned to the north, he had no roots. Although he was born in the Zhao family in Tianshui, he ate and drank with Buqu, and was looked down upon by the northerners.

Later, I approached Zhou Qi, saying that the Zhao and Zhou families should join hands to share weal and woe, and hold together for warmth. In addition, Zhao Yin, a Huainan native, lured Zhao Yin and his son to deal with it, and Zhou Qi really believed Zhao Xun's nonsense, not only marrying his daughter , but also strongly support the cost of money, silk, grain and grass.

Relying on the money and silk support of the Yixing Zhou family, Zhao Xun circulated among the northern gentry, talking eloquently, and the name of classics and metaphysics spread, and was accepted by the northerners.

Later, he relied on the quelling of the Wang Dun Rebellion, and was named a knight and a general.

But what Yixing Zhou's exchanged for was Zhao Xun's willingness to die!
Now that the Yixing Zhou family is in decline, but his Tianshui Zhao family is thriving, how can the Zhou family swallow this breath?
"Mom, don't be angry. My father also has his father's difficulties. Uncle, he only wants to rebel. If my father helps, our family will go on together."

Zhou Qi and Zhao Yue's cheap uncle Zhou Xie wanted to rebel, who can help?
The situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the politics of aristocratic families, and each family maintained a delicate balance.

The well-dressed man crossing the south has indeed violated the interests of Jiangzuo gentry, but why can he violate it?

One is because of orthodox righteousness, they are high-ranking families, and their voice is much higher than that of the Jiangzuo gentry.

But the more important reason is that there are millions of people in Nandu in well-dressed clothes, and the Nandu family all have military power in their hands. In troubled times, those who have military power in their hands have the right to speak.

Although the Yixing Zhou Clan has made three achievements in establishing Jiangnan, it is still difficult for them to shake the northern gentry with their own strength, and the Jiangzuo gentry is not monolithic.

For example, the Shen family of Wu Xing had a grudge against the Zhou family of Yixing. When Shen Chong followed Wang Dun to rebel, he directly broke through the ancestral house of the Zhou family of Yixing and killed countless people.

If Yi Xing Zhou's family can't straighten their minds and focus on rebellion, isn't it like a gnat shaking a tree and a praying man blocking a car?

Want to rebel
You have to be in a high position, like Liu Yuhuanwen, shall you come again?
It's a pity that Zhou Qi doesn't understand this simple truth, and neither does his cheap uncle Zhou Xie.

"You have also read many sage books, don't you know the way of loyalty and benevolence? Besides, the Zhou family is your mother's family, do you want to learn from your father and come to anger me?"

As she spoke, Zhou covered her face with trembling hands, but a series of tears ran across her face. She didn't cry out, but her convulsions looked very pitiful.

"Mother, don't be so angry."

Seeing Zhou crying bitterly, Dongmei Qiuju stepped forward to comfort her.

Zhao Yue also knew that he had said something wrong, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's hand, and said, "My child knows I was wrong, mother must not be angry."

In a month, Zhao Yue has already adapted to his identity.

Zhou turned her back and wiped away her tears before turning around. Although she wasn't crying anymore, her eyes were still red.

"The Zhou family in Yixing used to have a family of five lords, with infinite glory. Now you are left alone. You also shed the blood of the Zhou family. The hatred of the Zhou family is also your hatred. Mother does not expect or hope that you will take revenge. But you must not forget this matter of enmity for a moment!"

Zhao Yue nodded slightly.

"Mother, don't worry, although the child is from the north, he is different from those pigs and scumbags. They are shameless and shameless. It's a time when the country is in chaos, but they only know about internal friction and fighting for dogs. Your lords in the court, it's a lie The Northern Expedition was all about power and civil strife, and if the Northern Expedition really had the heart to restore our old clothes, it would chill the hearts of thousands of Han people, and my children would not join them."

Zhao Yue is very disdainful of the battles in the Jin court.

However, in fact, it can't be changed at all. His current strength is too small, and it is still difficult to protect his own safety in the storm, let alone change the situation.

But there are still dreams!
Now that we have come to this era, there is one thing that Zhao Yue must do.

Northern Expedition!

Jiehu Murong Xianbei likes to eat people, right?

If I don't exterminate your family, how can I be happy?

Zhao Yue liked a sentence by Chen Tang, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty:

It is advisable to hang it between the mansions of the barbarians on Touji Street to show thousands of miles away.Anyone who commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away!
