When Lu Bu arrived at the military academy, Taishi Ci was not at the military academy. He was recuperating from his injuries in the palace. He was already old. Although he was wearing armor that day, the impact also caused him to fall. After he gets older,
Even if he just fell to the ground, it would definitely be uncomfortable. Taishi Ci was lying on the bed now, unable to get up. When Lu Bu learned about his situation, he was even more anxious and hurriedly went to his mansion in person.
Taishi Ci was lying on the bed. The situation was not as serious as Lu Bu thought. When he learned that Lu Bu was coming, he quickly sent someone to let Lu Bu in. When Lu Bu entered the inner room, Taishi Ci was holding a book and was reading.
When he saw Lu Bu coming in, he put the books aside and said with a smile: "Feng is here first!"
Lu Bu was stunned. He couldn't remember how many years it had been. No one had called him like this again. Most of them called him Lu Linggong, or the head of the country. He had almost forgotten the word. Taishi Ci called him like this, and he couldn't help but let Lu Bu know.
Feeling offended, he felt a little happy, and felt very friendly. He smiled, sat beside Tai Shici's bed, frowned, and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Taishi Ci smiled and asked, "Are you thinking of my name, Fengxian? Let me introduce you to him. I am called Taishi Ci, and my courtesy name is Ziyi."
Lu Bu quickly defended: "Speaking of Ziyi, we were such close comrades-in-arms in the past. Didn't I go with you on my first mission to Sanhan? How could I have forgotten your words??", covering it up.
Lu Bu eagerly explained the embarrassment on his face, but Taishi Ci just smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't worry about it first."
"Haha, speaking of it, no one has called me for a long time. When you suddenly mention it, it feels like a lifetime ago."
"That's right. How many years has it been since Fengxian came to see us old comrades..." Tai Shici said. Lu Bu's face condensed, and then became a little gloomy. Speaking of which, Lu Bu is a very family-oriented person.
Whether it is his daughter or even his grandson, he is particularly fond of and close to him. However, he does not care much about his friends or even his former subordinates.
Since entering Luoyang, he has never paid attention to his old friends who fought hard together in Ningzhou. He even did not treat well the generals who had followed him. After Taishi Ci arrived in Luoyang, he wanted to
When they met with him, Lu Bu did not meet him in the name of not being allowed to meet the generals under Zhongshu's order. This made his former confidants particularly dissatisfied with him. This was also the reason why the emperor tolerated his rudeness and dismissed and re-employed him.
At this moment, Tai Shi Ci's straightforward words made Lu Bu a little angry.
Taishi Ci knew his temper and said quickly: "Hu'er's behavior this time is also a good thing. It is rare for us old friends to get together. Speaking of it, it seems that the two of us are the only ones left in Ningzhou.
." Taishi Ci changed the subject. It was not that he was afraid of Lu Bu's force, nor was he afraid of offending the father of the country. It was just that he had passed the age of youth and arrogance, and now he had reached the point where he knew the destiny of heaven.
He didn't care about this anymore. It would be nice to see an old friend, even if this old friend was not kind in his actions.
When Lu Bu heard Taishi Ci's words, he did not have an attack. He smiled and sat across from Taishi Ci. He put the gifts aside and said jokingly: "You are about ten years younger than me."
, why have you become gray-haired, hahaha, it shows that you didn’t exercise well back then.”
"Yes, when I get older, it's difficult to get up."
"It's all my fault, my grandson is ignorant..."
"It's okay, it's okay. He's still young, and he didn't do it on purpose. It was an unintentional act. How can I blame him?"
The two of them started chatting like this, starting from the war in the past, to Ningzhou today, and talking about family. When it came to family, Lu Bu couldn't sit still. He talked about Hu'er with a proud look on his face.
When he was young, he was average, but when he grew up, no one of the dozen or so people would be his match. Seeing Lu Bu excitedly praising his children, Tai Shici just listened quietly.
The older Lu Bu is more like a child, moody, easily excited, and eager to compare.
Taishi Ci, however, was like a real old man, listening quietly and agreeing with everything Lu Bu said, with no intention of arguing.
The two chatted very happily. Lu Bu and Taishi Ci had not chatted so happily with anyone for a long time. As they were chatting, a servant suddenly came in and whispered: "Master, the eldest son of the emperor is here..."
The two stopped talking, and Lu Bu said with a smile: "This must be sent by his father to apologize to you."
Taishi Ci smiled and nodded, and asked his servant to bring Hu'er in.
Hu'er limped in. When he came in, he saw Ye Ye sitting next to him. Suddenly, Hu'er burst into tears and threw himself into Ye Ye's arms. Lu Bu was shocked and hurriedly hugged him.
He stopped him and asked: "Hu'er, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"Father, he hit me!"
Hu'er wiped away tears and pointed at his buttocks.
Lu Bu frowned, his face became more and more unkind, and he was about to get angry. Taishi Ci hurriedly said: "Fengxian, don't worry, your majesty is teaching your highness. If he doesn't teach Hu'er, you can go to your majesty, but
He is now teaching His Highness, this is for His Highness's future, you can't be stupid..." After hearing Tai Shi Ci's words, Lu Bu sobered up.
Holding Hu'er in his arms, Lu Bu coaxed: "Hu'er, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, your father can't bully you at will, but you must be good and obedient. If he hits you again, I will use crutches."
Knock him!"
When Taishi Ci heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This old man might really dare to chase the emperor with a cane. He is so old, and the emperor can't fight back because of his seniority and age. Alas, he will never grow up in his life.
The old man.
Hu'er complained to Lu Bu for a long time, as if he just remembered the purpose of coming. He raised his head, looked at Taishi Ci, muttered, and said: "I did something wrong earlier. I should be obedient. I shouldn't snatch bows and arrows or hurt others."
, I hope General Taishi will forgive me."
"Your Highness, just remember. I won't blame you, but you can't do this again in the future."
Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci continued to chat. The child was still here. They also talked about their past battle experiences. Hu'er was very interested in this. On weekdays, he also liked to listen to what Ye Ye told him about the past.
Story, at this moment, he sat obediently aside, holding his chin in his hands, listening to the two old men talking about their past.
Hu'er's eyes almost lit up when he heard that Ye Ye had destroyed the country by himself.
Compared to Taishi Ci's mediocre military experience, he preferred to listen to Lu Bu's legendary experiences.
In the evening, Lu Bu just left here with Hu'er. Taishi Ci repeatedly told him to take Hu'er to visit him more often when he had time, and Lu Bu agreed with a smile.
...
At this moment, the most eye-catching thing in the temple was the shooting of Deng Ai by the servant of the Nongfu. No one thought that a young man with a stutter would have the courage to mention this matter in the court meeting. The ministers were very angry with him.
There are also different opinions. Some people agree very much, like Cao Chong. After leaving the temple, he followed Deng Ai all day long and almost became sworn brothers with him.
There were also objections, such as people like Liu Ba, who believed that equalizing farmland would have a major impact on the Han economy. Of course, there were also people like Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang who agreed to Deng Ai's proposal and hoped not to act too hastily.
The emperor did not blame these people. The more people opposed this decree, the more loyal they were to him, because this proposal was of great importance. All the cultivated land cultivated during the period of Emperor Xiaokang would be restored to the temples, and then distributed to the people.
, The emperor didn’t know how huge the impact this would have on the common people, and how much harm it would do to his emperor’s prestige.
On the second day after the court meeting, the emperor called Deng Ai and Zhuge Liang to the Hall of Houde.
"I want to take back the cultivated land, not just during the period of Emperor Xiaokang. I want to take back all the cultivated land. The cultivated land in the future belongs to the temple. No one is allowed to sell it and can only cultivate it by himself. I want to divide the cultivated land according to the number of people. Anyone can
You cannot use any method to seize other people’s land!!”
Deng Ai jumped up in shock, and Zhuge Liang also looked at the emperor blankly.
"Your Majesty, no!" Zhuge Liang said hurriedly, "Your Majesty acted like this and wanted to resolve the land annexation for the sake of the Han Dynasty. I understand that this is the best way for both the wealthy and the common people.
But he doesn’t know those fools. He only thinks that Your Majesty is robbing their farmland and leaving them without land. This will easily trigger civil unrest, and the wealthy families may also..."
Deng Ai didn't say anything, but he probably had the same idea as Zhuge Liang. He originally asked the emperor to take back the land that the temple was responsible for cultivating to the temple. How could he have imagined that the emperor was so ambitious that he wanted to take it back?
All the land!!
Liu Xi laughed and said, "I have nearly 80,000 soldiers from the North and the South. Who dares to rebel?"
Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "But this matter involves officials, generals, and even soldiers. Your Majesty, we can't be in such a hurry."
"No problem, the generals of the Northern and Southern Army will never betray." Liu Xi said confidently.
"But if this happens, the reputation your majesty has accumulated will... plummet, and the Holy Emperor will become comatose..." Zhuge Liang paused and continued: "Even if they dare not abuse your majesty openly...
, I’m afraid I will also do it in my heart..."
Liu Xi smiled bitterly, "I know, if you want to hate it, just hate it. Damn it, what temple name, what posthumous name, Kong Ming, please stop trying to persuade me. It's rare for me to make up my mind. If you try to persuade me again, I will
I am really going to be shaken, hahaha. Once I am shaken, I am afraid that I will regret my hesitation today until the day I die! Kong Ming, just think about how to complete it."
Zhuge Liang stood up slowly, looked at the helpless emperor in front of him, and bowed to him.
At this moment, the Emperor even surpassed Xiaokang in his heart.
