Almost, when Jingzhou was already in a state of great reshuffle, Liu Xie had already left Youzhou in a hurry.

Because he left all the soldiers to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yan, Wei Yan, and Guo Xun. When he came back, there were no soldiers left beside him except the imperial guards and the guards, but he was Bingzhou by way of the way.

Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Zhang Xiu couldn't escape the Nanyang soldiers. The only one who could save Jingzhou was left Zhong Yao, who could barely withdraw tens of thousands of people.

Everyone has been studying the map for a long time. To be honest, this change is really too sudden and too unexpected. Even though they are the smartest brains in the world, they can't think of any good idea for a while.

Although on the surface, the court actually lost nothing, and it was nothing more than the opponent who changed from Liu Biao to Lu Bu, but in fact it was really different. Liu Biao, he did not have an independent armed force who was absolutely loyal to himself, nor was he a natural leader of the Jingzhou power. To put it bluntly, he was a political agent launched by the gentry and powerful people in Jingzhou. Therefore, Liu Biao studied classics all day long and did not do practical things.

Lu Bu is not only recognized as a tiger in the world, but he really holds an independent armed force that belongs to him. He is also too famous and murders too ruthless. Although he suffers from endless troubles, his administrative efficiency is indeed far stronger than Liu Biao in the short term.

To be honest, the court had no energy for at least one or two years after fighting Yuan Shao. However, in the face of Lu Bu's rebellion, it can be said that almost everyone in the court was excited and inexplicably excited. If this was not really inappropriate, Liu Bei's group of people would have to play music and dance.

Finally, there is a chance to deal with Lu Bu in a legitimate way!

With Liu Bei, Cao Cao and their old subordinates, they had a deep hatred for Lu Bu, being a minister in the same palace was as disgusting as eating a fly, but he was highly valued by the emperor and had great contributions to killing Dong Zhuo. Even if they were of high power and high importance, they could not help him.

Now, those who have grudges will avenge them!

So... it is said to be a research on military strategy, but in fact, I spent most of my time studying how to deal with Lu Bu's family. After all, is military service for politics?

But Zhong Yao took the lead in reporting: "Your Majesty, after investigation, I found that Lu Bu had a total of 240,000 mu of land under the name of Wen County, a mill, sixteen boats, a cloth workshop, and a 160 slaves and a blacksmith shop."

"What?" Liu Xie was furious when he heard this: "Is Lu Bu so greedy? He has only become rich for a few years? He has been greedy for so much property? If he had been greedy for another ten or eight years, he would not have shaved all the land in Wen County three feet down? Damn it, it was too much, too arrogant!"

Everyone looked a little strange when they heard this, and they couldn't help looking at Sima Yi, who was already pale behind Liu Xie.

"If you confiscate, you must be confiscated. I will confiscate all the property under Lu Bu's name. This way, use the land under Lu Bu's name and the remaining powerful people in Henan Yin to replace the land, and I will keep it useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Yi was almost unstable as if he had angina pectoris.

"Zhongda, what's wrong? I feel uncomfortable?"

"My... When I think of so much money, I am all the people's wealth and money from Wen County, and all the people's wealth that Lu Bu is greedy and plundered, so I hate it!"

"Zhongda is indeed a famous minister in the world. Look at it, he is so angry that he cries out."

Everyone: "…………”

The emperor's mouth is so bad.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what should Lu Bu's family do?"

"Well..." Liu Xie pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then saw Guan Yu say, "I think that since Lu Bu rebelled, it is the crime of the three tribes of Yi. The emperor has the virtue of living a life, but at least his immediate relatives should be killed."

"Why do you just kill your relatives? It's also a rebellion? Lu Bu himself killed more than 40,000 Yuan people in Runan. Why do you just kill your relatives when you get here?"

Jia Kui next to him reminded: "Lu Bu's three tribes have long asked Yuan Shao to order the high-ranking officials to be given to the barbarians. He even killed all their neighbors because they had too few relatives and were not relieved to kill them."

"Oh, that's it."

After seeing Sima Yi's face turned pale, he became even more pale. After all, Lu Bu's daughter had already promised him to his fourth brother. If this thing is really pursued, wouldn't he even kill his fourth brother? Wouldn't he have to follow their Sima family together?

"Your Majesty, this...a barbarian wife and daughter is not the way of a minister after all. Why don't we... forget it?"

Seeing this, everyone showed gloating smiles at Sima Yi.

But I didn't expect that Liu Xie actually nodded and said, "You're right, isn't the trouble going to be more harmful than your wife and children? I agree with Zhongda's opinion."

The front-line generals went on a war and kept their families hostages in the city. This has actually always been an ancient practice.

After all, when fighting, losing is sometimes not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the surrender of an established system. What is more terrifying than direct surrender is of course the front-line generals rebel themselves.

No matter how you look at Lu Bu’s rebellion, it is very bad in nature and must set an example for others. But in Liu Xie’s eyes, this is a great thing!

This is the role model of ministers and the example you need to learn! This is OK if you need everyone’s encouragement. How can you slaughter his family?

The reason why he confiscated his property in Wen County was that he plundered all the people's wealth and the people punished were corrupt officials. This was not the same thing.

"Zhongda's words make sense. Although Lu Bu deserves to die for all his crimes, I think it's better not to be implicated in the future. I even think... the practice of generals leading troops on the front line and their families staying behind is not advisable. Think about it, in this war, sometimes it takes several months or even several years to fight. How cruel is it? How inhumane? "

"I think this is the case. Let Lu Bu's family let go. Not only will Lu Bu's family let go, but all the generals will not detain their family members when they go to war. Let their families go to war with them. If it is really inconvenient to bring women in the military camp, they will stay in the city behind."

This is undoubtedly like someone else's hint: Come on, betray me, surrender, there is encouragement~

But after hearing this, everyone was thinking... What is the profound meaning of the emperor?

Liu Bei asked, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, since that's the case, I don't know what to do with Lu Bu's family? I can't support it by the court, right?"

Liu Xie thought it was true, and this was indeed a trouble, so he said directly with the idea of ​​not bothering the second master in one thing: "Since that's the case, then let the emperor deal with this matter at your discretion. But in short, Lu Bu's family cannot die, let alone abuse them, and let them be slaves and servants."

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this.

What does this mean?

You know, Lu Bu’s wife is still very beautiful, and there are many. For example, the concubine of Dong Zhuo who he had an affair back then was originally Diao Chan in the Lingdi Palace, which is the prototype of Diao Chan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She looks so charming and beautiful as a beauty on earth.

I turned my head to look at other people, why did everyone look at me in a right way? Do you think of me as the Grand Sima?

Although Lu Bu once captured my family, although he had never asked, he could guess that Lu Bu must have been better than him. But will I, Liu Bei, the great uncle of the Han Dynasty and the hero of the world, take revenge and turn Lu Bu into green?

In fact, everyone really thinks this way. After all, the emperor's move is really a bit abnormal. If you want to treat it well, wouldn't it be better to leave it to Sima Yi, who obviously has a good relationship with Lu Bu?

Everyone is a man, and everyone understands why Liu Bei and Lu Bu have such a big grudge? Isn’t it because Lu Bu has “bullied” his family? Is the emperor clearly giving Liu Bei a chance to take revenge?

However, Liu Bei sighed deep in his heart and stopped explaining. No one believed him even though he knew the explanation.

Anyway, even if he jumped from the Weiyang Palace, he would never play with Lu Bu's wife and daughter.

"Then next, let's discuss the war in Jingzhou. You all know that there is really no money or food. Will this battle be fought? How should we fight?"

But Yang Biao was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that is actually more urgent than the war."

"Oh? Why is it more urgent than war?"

"It was the problem of how the former Liu Biao's general Wen Pin and the Nanyang people he had. Wen Pin surrender was of course a good thing. Besides, no matter what the result was, General Wen raised Xiangyang City and surrendered was enough to show his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and the court should reward him highly."

"But he brought more than 20,000 soldiers, and more than 20,000 mouths. Some of them brought their families, which is 70,000 to 80,000 mouths. In recent years, the land of Nanyang... Alas, no matter how rich he is, his foundation has been almost exhausted. I don't know if the food rations can be supplied this year."

"In addition to food rations, there is also the problem of arable land. To be honest, after the imperial court's large-scale military camps, civil camps, and Nanyang land in the past two years... there are indeed not many arable land without owners. Even if there are, there are really no large areas that can be found, and they can be connected in groups. These are all from Nanyang. If they are allowed to settle in other places, wouldn't it be appropriate?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

Indeed, in comparison, this is a more urgent matter than a war. If one is not handled well, the people of Nanyang may even rebel. But if these people rebel, trouble will occur, the key is that this will be too slap the court in the face.

Liu Xie said: "Those nobles in Nanyang..."

Yang Biao heard this and said, "Your Majesty, although there are many nobles in Nanyang and rich, it is not a bottomless pit after all. We can make us rush to get it. They have no energy at all. This time, they are hurt by this villain Lu Bu, I'm afraid they really have no spare energy."

"Then don't they still have land?"

“…………”

Everyone was confused again.

Is this... so cruel?

You should know that most of the land that the nobles occupied over the years have been spit out. Although they are indeed Liantian Qianmo now, the problem is that those are what they deserve!

The ancestors of other people made contributions to the Han Dynasty, especially when Guangwu revived, the heroes and civil officials were reunited, and they also cooperated obediently, just to leave more land and food fiefs for their descendants?

Can this be confiscated?

If this could be confiscated, what is the point of so many Guanneihou and Leju were conferred on this dynasty?

This is the real foundation of the country!

"Your Majesty, I think that the land of honor is the foundation of my great Han country. The nobles of all families have sent people to revive the Han Dynasty, sent troops and paid and paid food. It is also considered as fulfilling their obligations to be together with the country and share the same difficulties as the nobles. It is really not appropriate to confiscate their land of honor again!"

"When did I say that they would confiscate their honorary fields? They can't be confiscated. Can we change them? Of course, I also know that Nanyang is a Fengshui treasure land, and the land is fertile, but is it that my great man who only has one treasure land in Nanyang? What about Henan Yin? Are there large areas of unowned fields around Luoyang?"

"Of course I know that these nobles have been almost exhausted by the court. Although they are not voluntarily, they have made great contributions to the world, right? Since they have made great contributions, they have to reward them. We are going to move the capital to Luoyang. It is definitely not enough to not have enough population in Henan Yin land. Isn't moving them here to kill two birds with one stone?"

This... the emperor's meaning is to restart the plan to move to the tomb?

Hiss~, the emperor is so courageous!

Then the emperor continued to talk: "Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with fire. This is indeed a great sin, but a piece of white paper is easy to paint. This is actually not a bad thing. Can we expand the old Luoyang city? We can plan a large area in Luoyang, next to the palace, and even build a large palace for them to live in. Isn't it impossible? You heroes, as well as your descendants and families, can you live in it?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this.

It seems...it's not just about restarting the migration of tombs. Is there any deep meaning?

"Of course, are the nobles? Since they are fellow practitioners and difficulties with the country, they should naturally be the same as the country. I think, can we hold another nobles' consultation meeting on the basis of the Finance and Taxation Conference and the Multi-ethnic Consultative Conference every year, and will they actively participate in politics and make them actively participate in politics and policy discussions?"

"Anyway, the world is not the world of my Liu family, but also their world, and the world of you and your descendants, and the world of the people of the world. Can we discuss anything?"

This is a crucial step in Liu Xie's reform plan, and he had already thought about it, so he took this opportunity to propose it.

Is everything for constitutional monarchy? Now there are tax conferences and multi-ethnic consultation meetings. Plus, a noble political conference, Humph, wait until I have a few more meetings, then everyone will feel that so many will be troublesome. Once merged, will it become something that a certain author doesn’t know if he can name a certain congress?

Isn’t this ultimate ideal of constitutional monarchy almost realized?

When the ministers heard this, they became even more certain that what the emperor wanted was not just moving tombs, but also having a deeper meaning!
Chapter completed!
