Chapter 844

When Lu Bu arrived at the Military Academy, Tai Shici was not there, he was recovering from his injuries in the mansion. He was already old, even though he was wearing armor that day, the impact caused him to fall. After getting old, Even if he just fell to the ground, it would definitely be uncomfortable. Tai Shici is lying on the bed now, unable to get up. When Lu Bu heard about his situation, he was even more anxious, and hurriedly went to his mansion in person.

Tai Shici was lying on the sickbed, and the situation was not as serious as Lu Bu thought. When he learned of Lu Bu's arrival, he quickly sent someone to let Lu Bu in. When Lu Bu entered the inner room, Tai Shici was holding a book and was reading. What, seeing Lu Bu coming in, he put the book aside casually, and said with a smile: "Fengxian is here!"

Lu Bu was taken aback, he couldn't remember, how many years had passed, no one had called him like that again, most of them called Lu Linggong, or Guozhang, and he almost forgot the words, Tai Shici couldn't help but not let Lu Bu call him like that. Feeling offended, he felt a little happy in his heart and felt very kind. He smiled and sat on the side of Tai Shici's bed, frowning, thinking about something.

Tai Shici smiled, and asked: "Feng Xian was thinking about my character? Get to know me, my name is Tai Shici, and the character is Ziyi."

Lu Bu quickly argued: "Where is Ziyi? We were such close comrades-in-arms in the past. Didn't I go with you when I went to Sanhan for the first time? How could I forget your words?", covering up Lu Bu eagerly explained the embarrassment on his face, but Tai Shici just smiled and said, "It's just a joke, Feng Xian doesn't have to worry about it."

"Haha, speaking of it, it's been a long time since anyone called me, and when you mention it suddenly, it feels like a lifetime away."

"That's right, how many years has it been since Fengxian, and he hasn't come to see us old comrades in arms", Tai Shici said, Lu Bu's expression froze, and then became a little gloomy. Speaking of it, Lu Bu is a very family-oriented person. He loved and loved his daughter and even his grandson very much, but he didn't care much about his friends and even his former subordinates.

Since entering Luoyang, he has never paid attention to the old friends who fought hard together in Ningzhou, and he did not even treat those generals who followed him kindly. After Tai Shici arrived in Luoyang, he wanted to When he met him, Lu Bu never met him in the name of Zhongshu Ling not to meet the generals. This made his former confidantes very dissatisfied with him, and it was also the reason why the emperor could tolerate his rudeness and let him be reused.

At this moment, Tai Shici's straightforward words made Lu Bu a little annoyed.

Tai Shici knew his temperament, and quickly said: "Hu'er's behavior this time is also a good thing, our old friends, it is rare to get together, speaking of it, it seems that there are only two of us left in Ningzhou's generals." Tai Shici opened the topic, not because he was afraid of Lu Bu's force, nor because he was afraid of offending the country's father, but because he had already passed the age of youth and vigor, and now he has reached the point where he knows the destiny.

He doesn't care about these anymore, it's not bad to see an old friend, even if this old friend is not kind.

Hearing Tai Shici's words, Lu Bu didn't lose his temper. He smiled and sat opposite Tai Shici, put the gift aside, and said with a joke: "You are ten years younger than me. , why did you become gray-haired, hahaha, it can be seen that you didn't exercise well back then."

"Yeah, I'm old, and it's hard to get up."

"It's all my fault, my grandson is not sensible."

"It's okay, it's okay, he's still young, and he didn't do it on purpose, he did it unintentionally, how could I blame him?"

The two chatted like this, from the wars in the past, to Ningzhou today, to the family, and when it came to the family, Lu Bu couldn't sit still, and talked about Hu'er with a proud face. He was as normal when he was young, and when he grew up, he was afraid that no ordinary dozen or so people would be his opponents. Seeing Lu Bu excitedly boasting about his own child, Tai Shici just listened quietly.

The older Lu Bu is more like a child, moody, easily agitated, and eager to compare.

Tai Shici, however, was like a real old man, listening quietly, agreeing with everything Lu Bu said, and had no intention of arguing at all.

The two chatted very happily. Lu Bu and Tai Shici had never chatted so happily with anyone for a long time. They were chatting when a servant came in and said in a low voice: "Master, the eldest son of the emperor has come down."

The two stopped talking, and Lu Bu smiled and said, "This must have been sent by his father to apologize to you."

Tai Shici smiled and nodded, and asked the servant to bring Hu'er in.

Hu'er limped in and came in. When he came in, he saw Ye Ye who was sitting beside him. Immediately, Hu'er burst into tears and threw himself into Ye Ye's arms. Lu Bu was shocked and hurriedly hugged Ye Ye. Stopped him and asked: "Hu'er, what's wrong? Who bullied you??"

"Father, he hit me!"

Hu'er wiped away his tears, and pointed to his buttocks.

Lu Bu frowned, his face became more and more unfriendly, and Tai Shici said hastily: "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, so you can't be messed up." Hearing Tai Shici's words, Lu Bu regained his senses.

Holding Hu'er, Lu Bu coaxed: "Hu'er, don't be afraid, with me here, your father can't bully you at will, but you have to be good and obedient, if he beats you again, I'll use the crutches to kill you." Knock him!"

Tai Shici couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the words, this old man, maybe he really dared to chase the emperor with a walking stick, at his age, the emperor couldn't fight back because of his seniority and age, alas, he really won't grow up in his life old man.

Hu'er complained to Lu Bu for a long time, as if he just remembered the purpose of coming here, raised his head, looked at Tai Shici, muttered, and said: "I did something wrong earlier, I should be obedient, I shouldn't snatch bows and arrows, hurt people , I hope General Taishi will forgive me."

"Your Highness, just remember, I won't blame you, but I can't do this again in the future."

Lu Bu and Tai Shici continued to chat. The child was still here, so they chatted about the previous battle experiences. Hu'er was very interested in this. On weekdays, he also likes to listen to what Ye Ye told him about the past Story, at this moment, he sat obediently aside, resting his chin on his hands, listening to the two old men talking about their past.

Hearing that Yeye once destroyed the country by himself, Hu'er's eyes almost lit up.

Compared with Tai Shici's mediocre military experience, he prefers to hear Lu Bu talk about his own legendary experience.

In the evening, Lv Bu took Hu'er and left here. Tai Shici repeatedly urged him to take Hu'er to see him more when he had time, and Lv Bu also agreed with a smile.

At this moment, the most eye-catching thing in the temple is the farm servant shooting Deng Ai. No one thought that a young man suffering from a stutter would dare to mention this matter in the court meeting. There are also different opinions. Some people agree very much, like Cao Chong. After he left the temple, he followed Deng Ai all day long, and he was almost about to become a brother with him.

There are also people who object, such as Liu Ba, who believe that the act of equalizing the cultivated land will cause a major blow to the Han economy. Of course, there are also Xun Yu, who agrees with Deng Ai's proposal like Zhuge Liang, and hopes not to act too hastily.

The emperor did not blame these people. The more people who oppose this decree, the more loyal they may be, because this proposal has a lot to do with it. All the cultivated land reclaimed during Emperor Xiaokang's time will be taken back to the temples and distributed to the common people. Well, the emperor didn't know how much impact this would have on the people and the powerful, and how much harm it would do to his prestige as the emperor.

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 only during the period of Emperor Xiaokang, I want to take back all the cultivated land. The cultivated land in the future will belong to the temple. No one is allowed to sell it. They can only reclaim it by themselves. I will divide the cultivated land according to the number of people. Anyone You can’t take other people’s land by any means!!”

Deng Ai jumped up in shock, Zhuge Liang also looked at the emperor blankly.

"Your Majesty, no!" Zhuge Liang said hastily, "Your Majesty's actions in order to solve the land annexation are for the sake of the great man's eternal life. I understand that this is the best way, no matter for the nobles or the common people. But he doesn’t know about those fools, he just thinks that His Majesty is robbing them of their cultivated land, leaving them without land, which will easily lead to civil uprisings, and the wealthy family may also do it.”

Deng Ai didn't speak, but his thoughts were probably the same as Zhuge Liang's. He originally played to ask the emperor to take back the land that the temple was responsible for reclaiming. How could he have thought that today's emperor's ambition is so great that he wants to take back the land? All the land! !
Liu Xi laughed and said, "I have nearly [-] northern and southern armies, who would dare 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 accumulated by His Majesty may plummet, and the Holy Son of Heaven will become faint." Zhuge Liang paused, and continued: "Even if they don't dare to abuse His Majesty on the surface, they may not dare to insult His Majesty in their hearts." meeting"

Liu Xi smiled wryly, "I know, if you want to hate it, then hate it, what temple name, what posthumous title, fuck the fuck, Kong Ming, don't persuade me any more, it's hard for me to make up my mind, if you continue to persuade me, I will I’m really about to waver, hahaha, once I’m shaken, I’m afraid I’ll regret my hesitation today when I die! Kong Ming, think about how to accomplish it.”

Zhuge Liang got up slowly, looked at the helpless emperor in front of him, and bowed his body.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven in his heart even surpassed Xiaokang.
