call me Lord Lu Bu

Chapter 15 Going to Luoyang
"Hey!" Lu Liang sat on the stone table in the courtyard, looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

"Father, it's rare to see you sigh like this?" Lu Bu sat next to Lu Liang. In the past three years since the new Hun King Afan came to power, how could father and son Lu Bu and Lu Liang have the opportunity to gather and talk together in such a leisurely way.

Lu Liang looked at the southern sky, shook his head and replied, "The country is in danger!"

"Hehe, Dad, did you feel it?" Lu Bu laughed at this moment, and couldn't help asking.

Lu Liang was shocked on the spot when he heard this, and stared at Lu Bu blankly, "Bu'er? Do you feel this too?"

"Hmph! I know that the Eastern Han Dynasty basically died in 189 when Emperor Ling died. Dong Zhuo was introduced to the capital by He Jin. You actually asked me if I felt that way?" Lu Bu complained in his heart. Of course, he had never given any information about knowing history Anyone leaked.

"En!" Lu Bu just nodded slightly, without making any too many answers.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my son is not only the son of the god tiger, but also a talented warrior, and he also has political foresight. In the future, my Lu family will definitely be ranked among the three princes or be named a great general. Shi salary!" Lu Liang said happily!
(Small science popularization: The official system of the Han Dynasty was headed by the three princes and nine ministers: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were all known as ten thousand stone salary, and the general was ranked above the three princes, such as the famous general He Jin in the future;
The rank stone of salary in the Eastern Han Dynasty is actually a unit of measurement. In today's words, it means how much money and food you will be paid a year, and it depends on the size of your official products. Hundred stones, 1 stone = 10 buckets = 27 catties of millet)
Lu Bu looked at his father, and understood his feelings very well. The ancients valued the fame of the family, and two of them were the most conspicuous. The meaning of integrity is equivalent to saying that you can become an official after passing the assessment. This is the first step in entering an official career, and it is also a point that is highly valued by the common people; the second thing is to be ranked among the three public officials. It means that one person is under one person and over ten thousand is the goal of officials in the Han Dynasty.

"Father, I don't want to be an official, I just want to fight!" Lu Bu replied at this moment.

Lu Liang laughed after hearing this, "Hehe, since you are a general of the Lu family, you must know how to fight, but I still hope that you can develop more in the future. Come to the conclusion."

"Bu'er understands!" Lu Bu also nodded and replied. Many people in the Han Dynasty had ideological problems, such as everyone advocating the dignity of the court and being proud of being an official; Lu Bu did not want to change Lu Liang's thinking in the past. The history and culture that come from.

"Hey, today you should know what your eldest sister is doing in Luoyang?" Lu Liang continued to ask.

"Competing for the position of empress?" Lu Bu asked tentatively. Regarding politics and court affairs, even though he knew the historical development, he didn't quite understand it.

Lu Liang laughed loudly, "Haha, it's really too early to talk about this with you, but the Xiongnu's actions are frequent, I'm worried that it may be difficult to have such a good time to communicate with you in the future, Bu'er will remember what Dad said today."

"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded fiercely.

"Daddy was promoted as Xiaolian back then, and was recommended by my father to be an official in Luoyang! Emperor Ling favored eunuchs and entrusted him with state affairs, but he was lewd and courteous all day long, not doing his job properly." After all, Lu Liang was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, so he said at this moment It was also a feeling of grief and indignation, "When the eunuchs took power and the upright court prostitutes rose, I was named the prefect of Wuyuan and succeeded my father as the captain of Yueqi, and I was even asked to pay money!"

After Lu Bu heard this, he slapped the table and was filled with righteous indignation, "It's unreasonable! The officials they appointed actually want us to pay them."

"That's right! It's so unreasonable!" Lu Liang complained, "Later, I refused to take the job, so they bargained and asked me to pay one-third of the money."

"Eh! Father, what about your last money?" Lu Bu also asked.

"Hehe, you might look down on father, that's right! In the end I paid the money, so now I, the frontier general, was actually bought with money." Lu Liang sneered at this moment, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

Lu Bu was also taken aback when he heard this, and thinking about Lu Liang's expectations of him before, it is not difficult to understand why Lu Liang wanted Lu Bu to be ranked among the three princes or to become a general, because that would give Lu Jiaming justice Otherwise, your Lu family, starting from Lu Liang's generation, would even spend money to buy officials, which would be shameful to the world.

"Father, I can't blame you!" Lu Bu stood up and said solemnly, "If you want to blame, you can only blame the chaotic Eastern Han court. Besides, you are a good general, and everyone will not care so much."

"Hey!" Lu Liang sighed again, feeling that Lu Liang in the battlefield and in the workplace are completely two people. A general in the battlefield and a small official in the workplace have a sense of togetherness. It seems that the matter of buying an official has always been a part of Lu Liang's mind. Root thorn, no matter how good he is doing now, he is still brooding about what happened back then.

"Don't worry, father! I, Lu Bu, will definitely destroy this troubled world in the future and avenge my father!" As soon as Lu Bu said that, he blamed all the past events on this troubled world.

Lu Liang was shocked, and pressed Lu Bu's shoulder, "My son must have an amazing talent, right! I must find a famous critic to give you a good review. "

"Appraisal?" Lu Bu was also taken aback, but he knew that character appraisal was very popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, in today's terms, it is an advanced calculation of eight characters, which is superstitious. Of course, critics will do a lot of data collection And analysis, finally figured out what kind of person you are, I didn't expect Lu Liang to do a tasting with himself, but who to look for?

"Bu'er get ready, pack your luggage, I will ask Uncle Lu Chen to take you and your eldest sister to Luoyang." Lu Liang thought of something later.

"Father, are you going to meet someone?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

Lu Liang nodded and smiled, "An old friend my father knew when he was working in Luoyang!"

"Who?" Lu Bu became even more curious!

"Hehe, you'll know it when you see it." Lu Liang replied with a smile, because he knew that he didn't tell Lu Bu.

"Tell me! Dad, maybe I know him!" Lu Bu continued to ask, with a confident look.

"Famous critic, Xu Shao! Do you know him?" Lu Liang replied.

"What!" Lu Bu exclaimed in shock, "Xu Shao! Is that Xu Shao who commented on Cao Cao, a capable minister in the world, and a traitor in troubled times?"

After Lu Liang heard this, he turned his head and stared blankly at Lu Bu, "Bu'er? What's wrong with you? Who is Cao Cao?"

Lu Bu just came back to his senses, the previous words accidentally exposed the history, but fortunately it seems that Lu Liang was in Luoyang at that time and didn't know Cao Cao yet!
"Eh! I'm listening, listening, yes, what Teacher Hu Yanlie told me." Lu Bu started to talk nonsense.

"Huyanlie! He is a Hun, how could he know this?" Lu Liang was astonished.

Lu Bu also smiled and said, "Hee hee, old man! Didn't you all say that Xu Shao is a famous critic? Naturally, the Huns have heard of it too."

Lu Liang also nodded after hearing this, "Yeah, that makes sense! If that's the case, you should hurry up and get ready when you get home, and follow Uncle Lu Chen to send your sister to Luoyang."

"Yes!" Lu Bu also smiled, feeling full of anticipation that he could go to Luoyang at this moment, and smiled in his heart, "Hee hee, do you want to say hello to Boss Cao first?"
