Old and strong, it is very suitable to describe Wang Ben.

Later, Qi Baishi married an eighteen-year-old Huanghua girl at the age of fifty-six, and Wang Ben, who is not confused, is fond of young women.

Sighing all the way, Li Yu and a few people took the troika and entered the north of Xianyang City before dusk.

Ying Zheng already knew that Wang Jian and his son had arrived in Xianyang, so he took Meng Yi to the north of the city early in disguise to wait.

The street is crowded with people, and if you don't know it in advance, you can't recognize the disguised Yingzheng at a glance.

But it is precisely the veteran Wang Jian who has been away from Xianyang for more than ten years, and now he is back here, and he has a lot of emotion in his heart.

The eyes are even more at the bricks and tiles on the street, one person and one thing, and all the wind and grass are seen by the veteran Wang Qian.

After Ying Zheng disguised, he and Meng Yi stood quietly on the driving lane, watching Li Yu and several people and carriages coming, and they didn't let them go.

"Stop!"

Li Yu was stunned, and he didn't know why Wang Jian suddenly stopped.

Immediately followed Wang Qian's gaze, it didn't matter what he saw, Li Yu, who was shocked, hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

Grandma has legs, Ying Zheng greeted her personally, such treatment, Li Yu was sour.

Wang Jian returned to the old man, slipped off the horse on one side, stood in front of Yingzheng in a few big strides, bowed down and said: "The old minister has seen the first emperor." ”

In the vast sea of people, Wang Jian saw and saw Ying Zheng in disguise at a glance, which shows that in the past ten years, Wang Jian has thought about Ying Zheng himself the most.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ying Zhengdu to change from a young man to a middle-aged man with a big belly after so many years, and he can still recognize it at a glance.

In addition, what surprised Li Yu was Yingzheng himself.

You must know that today, the characters who can be greeted by Ying Zheng in person, even if Meng Tian's army returns, they may not be able to have such treatment.

Since Wang Jian and his son both came forward to worship, Li Yu naturally couldn't move, let alone leave behind the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.

Then he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Weichen Li Yu, live up to Your Majesty's trust, and now bring two martial marquis to face the saint together." ”

Ying Zheng smiled happily, and gently signaled Li Yu to do a good job on this trip, and Wang Jian and his son could come, which already showed that the matter of land reform must be nodded and agreed.

I haven't seen him for many years, Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a trace of melancholy on his face, and asked: "I haven't seen you for many years, how are the two generals doing?" ”

After all, according to Yingzheng's previous psychology, it is reasonable to closely monitor Wang's father and son.

Later, I felt that it was unnecessary, so I simply forgot about it in the rivers and lakes.

But even if he is dismissed from his military position, just by virtue of Wang Qian, the money and land that Wang Ben and his son begged for in front of their lives, and with the title they were given, it is enough to eat the rest of their lives.

However, now it seems that he has not seen any female family members behind him, which can't help but make Yingzheng a little puzzled.

Wang Jian had a grim face with a little excitement, obviously he didn't expect the First Emperor Yingzheng to treat him like this.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben glanced at each other, and then responded in a loud voice: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister has been fine in recent years." ”

Ying Zheng was obviously overjoyed, and asked with a flushed face: "I wonder why the families of the two generals didn't come with them?" ”

Wang Jian smiled lightly, smiled quite indifferently, and said: "Those who should go have also gone, the juniors have their own family businesses, and the old minister and Dian Wu miss the old, so they stayed in their hometown and built a house casually, and there were three or two servants in the house, but they didn't come with this trip." ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was surprised, he didn't expect the two old ministers to live so plainly, or poorly......

"Why is that?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled, and then blurted out and asked.

Without waiting for Wang Jian to answer, Li Yu did smile and said: "Your Majesty, the two generals have already taken the lead in the matter of land reform. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he regretted it a little.

Unexpectedly, because of the situation in the current dynasty, he was forced to let Wang Jian and his son go into the wilderness......

The imperial generals were cut off because of this, and now Meng Tian is guarding the border of the north alone, which gives the rebels in the south an opportunity.

And Wang Jian and the others actually had the courage to distribute all the land in their hands to the surrounding poor......

After some comparison, Ying Zheng felt that all this was caused by his own recklessness.

Ying Zheng could only sigh and said, "Alas, after all, I still lost the two generals. ”

As soon as Yingzheng said this, the frightened faces of the Wang family and his son changed, and they immediately bowed down and said: "The old minister has no complaints, but if he is afraid, he will not meet the first emperor." ”

The good welcome turned into a relief meeting for the monarchs and ministers, which made Li Yu, who was standing on the side, feel extremely embarrassed.

I had to say at the right time: "Your Majesty, now that you are on the street, it is not a place to talk, and it just so happens that the two generals came with a big gift, and this place is not far from this place of residence, why don't you go back to the mansion and discuss it again?" ”

Only then did everyone nod their heads and enter the Prince's Mansion.

And Wang Jian and his son also stepped into the prince's mansion at the moment when they fully believed that Li Yu was really the marquis of the empire.

And he is deeply favored by His Majesty, otherwise he would not have replaced the Xiangguo Mansion with the Prince's Mansion.

In the eyes of Wang Jian and his son, literati such as Li Sina should not live in such a spacious mansion.

And here......

Xiangguo Li Si was in the mansion west of the city, discussing matters with several officials in charge of salt and grain land, and sneezed inexplicably.

Seeing this, Shi Liang Yong hurriedly said with concern: "Is Lord Xiangguo tired and contracted the wind and cold?" ”

Li Si was also a little strange, and then waved his hand and said, "In this sunny early spring, I didn't notice it. ”

"Now that Your Majesty is vigorously promoting land reform, I am afraid that the future will not be easy, and Lord Xiangguo still has to take care of his health."

Liang Yong said something earnestly, and Li Si shook his head when he heard it, so he waved his hand and said: "I see your lords, it is imperative that we continue to discuss countermeasures. ”

Liang Yong saw that his majesty the first emperor was singing on stage with Li Yu, the Marquis of Immortal Monarch.

The so-called land reform and the so-called reclamation of wasteland are only the top priorities of the moment, and the second best thing to choose is to retreat.

Once the reclamation of the wasteland in the south is completed, the target will definitely be shifted to the wealthy people.

Although the civil and military officials don't care much about the matter of wool, their family members and subordinates have done it like this with their power.

Thinking of this, Liang Yong couldn't help but sigh: "What Xiangguo said is that although the land reform has not affected the wealthy people and nobles, as officials of the empire, we naturally have a lot of fertile land under our hands.

If Your Majesty is serious about implementing land reform, we, the officials who eat the king's and the fortune, can only take the lead in pandering to it, rather than watching from the sidelines. ”

When Li Si heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as Li Si, who climbed up step by step and climbed into the top of the world, these were all minor problems.

And Li Yu is getting more and more favored by His Majesty the First Emperor, which is the big problem that makes Li Si feel a sense of crisis.

It is not terrible for a dignified imperial prime minister to be used as a tool for the office.

It's scary to be treated like a machine......

A machine that has fallen out of favor......
