Chapter Twenty-Nine: Master and Apprentice Night Talk
Late at night, Ma Yue lay on the hard couch in the side room of Jixian Thorn Mansion, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
What do I want to do?
I want to do something big, but before I can do something big, I need the power to be able to protect.
What do I want to protect?
Protect people, things that need to be protected. Protect them from me.
What big thing do I want to do?
I do not know.
His strength is not small, especially the force, the heroes and dead soldiers he has at his disposal are enough to rush into Luoyang City and behead the ten permanent servants together. can tie up the Yuan brothers together and slaughter them, and even rush into the palace to assassinate a Han emperor...... But that's not what he wanted to do.
He is loyal to Liu Hong, but the world will still be chaotic after all, even if the court makes him a state pastor, he can't change this result, the Son of Heaven doesn't care about political affairs, some of those scholars are dedicated to Han, but some people have begun to accumulate their own strength, presumably they are now just like themselves, and many decisions are made in a daze and rely on instinct.
Now the world can barely be satisfied with the status quo, but what if Liu Hong is no longer there one day? Everything he wanted to protect was reduced to nothingness, so what was he supposed to do?
He felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Liang Hu, and Liang Hu's wisdom without the shackles of time would definitely lead him out of the predicament.
So, he put on his clothes and knocked on Liang Hu's door with a lantern.
At the door of Liang Hu stood two Li Jing attendants, who were armed with swords to protect Liang Hu's safety at all times. This is Youzhou, a place they have never been to, and they can't be careless for a moment.
Ma Yue knocked lightly on the door, and he saw a bright yellow light in the window, and with the movement of the figures in the candle room, Liang Hu had not rested.
Sure enough, as soon as he knocked on the door, he heard Liang Hu ask, "Who?" ”
"Sir, it's me, Saburo."
"Enter."
Ma Yue pushed open the door of the house and went in, and saw Liang Hu wearing a plain bedrobe with his back to the door, swiping a few big words, picking up the ink paper and blowing off the ink, then turned to Ma Yue and said, "What's the matter, come here late at night." ”
Ma Yue put on his clothes and said, "The student can't sleep, thinking about what Mr. said during the day, there are many confusions in my heart, I hope Mr. can solve my doubts." ”
Liang Hu glanced at him, smiled, put down Mobao and sat opposite, and asked someone to serve some pastries to warm the soup, and then said to Ma Yue with a pleasant face: "What confusion is San Lang? ”
"Sir, if this world, the student just said if, if the world is chaotic in the future, what should the student do to protect himself, his family, and you."
The night was silent, and Liang Hu stared at Ma Yue's eyes without speaking. The servant of the Assassin's Mansion put a few plates of dim sum on the table between the two, Liang Hu glanced at it, picked up a piece, and looked at Ma Yue while chewing.
Liang Hu's eyes saw that Ma Yue was uncomfortable, and when he stared at Ma Yue and became more hairy, Liang Hu spoke.
"You don't have to do anything, you don't have to protect anyone, you just need to protect the emperor...... Don't care about anyone, just protect the emperor. If you keep the emperor, no one in the world will be able to touch you in the slightest. ”
Sure enough, Liang Hu still wanted Emperor Ma Yuebao.
"But sir, if Your Majesty ...... If. Ma Yue's voice unconsciously became smaller, so small that only Liang Hu could hear the volume: "The student is saying, if Your Majesty ...... Gone? ”
"What!"
Liang Hu looked at Ma Yue with wide eyes, and Ma Yue could read the shock in Liang Hu's eyes...... In this world, those who dare to speak out generously about His Majesty's absence are afraid that they will not exceed the number of hands.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Liang Hu also unconsciously substituted Ma Yue's question, now everything for the two of them, at least everything about Liang Hu comes from Liu Hong, except for this disciple, he only has Liu Hong's favor, which is his biggest bargaining chip.
After a while, Liang Hu seemed to have figured it out, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”
"Sir, if Your Majesty ......"
Ma Yue wanted to say, if His Majesty is gone, then what will he protect. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Hu.
"Your Majesty is gone, then you will protect your new Majesty! Protect the prince, ensure the smooth accession of the prince, Your Majesty wants the prince to ascend the throne, yes! Liang Hu's expression was already a little vicious after speaking, and he glared at Ma Yue and said, "San Lang, what are you thinking?" At present, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just ended, and the old man knows that there is a lot of waste waiting to be revived, but you ask the old man if the world is in chaos! Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but you ask the old man what if His Majesty is not what to do, what are you thinking! ”
All along, Liang Fu has a good demeanor, even if the eyebrows are burned, he will not be in a hurry, this old man has always had his own ideas, although his ideas are all regarded as sideways by the world, but the old man's own decisions have always made him invincible. This time, the old man was hoarse by Ma Yue's question, and there was no grace at all.
"Sir, do you really think the world is peaceful? Song Jian of the Liangzhou Kingdom is such a bastard, when he was a teenager, they were able to send their subordinates to the martial arts arena one by one to send them to death, and now they are even more careless about people's lives. The rebellion they set off in Liangzhou has spread to the three counties, and even Han Yue's slippery head was forced to join the gang and change his name to Han Sui. In less than half a year, they will be able to integrate the forces of Liangzhou, and assassinate Shi Zuochang like an idiot to embezzle military funds and give my brother small shoes, can the soldiers in Liangzhou stop? Didn't you ask me why I was guarding my brother in my heart, I was afraid of him! Zuo Chang did this, what should I do if my brother is forced to rebel together, if even Hanyang County is reversed, the rebels can directly fight to Longguan! Can Liangzhou be too peaceful? ”
"You also know what the situation is in Yizhou now, the fools who send rice to the people all day long have also rebelled with Zhang Jiao, the court doesn't care about Yizhou, all counting on the state and county to defend themselves, nearly 100,000 people died in the yellow scarf, does the court still have the ability to send troops to fight the thieves? Zhang Jiao is dead, Zhang Xiu is reversed, and Luo Yao, who is the third assistant to teach the people stealth technique, is really Qi Huo'er if he wants to rebel again. ”
"Look at the outside of Youzhou Pass, more than a dozen bloody corpses of merchants died in a thousand steps outside the pass, and the Han army defending the city looked at dozens of bandits and didn't dare to go out of the city, except for Gongsun Zhan, what are the soldiers guarding the city doing, watching the play? When you came, you also heard that the bandits in Jizhou are prevalent, what Huanglong, Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Baiqi, all of them are princes for themselves, and they run to the Black Mountain to fall into the grass for Kou, just like the alliance. The thieves in Hedong haven't been eliminated yet......"
Ma Yue pouted a lot of words like a cannonball, and Liang Hu was stunned, what is the matter with this kid, a group of traitors put pressure on him like this?
Taking a breath, Ma Yue said slowly and gently: "Sir, it's not that San Lang has no confidence in the world, look at how many officials are as honest as Old Lady Qiao?" In a poor place like Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan and his three righteous brothers have a family fortune of more than 100 million yuan and hundreds of followers, just those who sell and weave mats, and those who are thieves and thieves. Not to mention the feudal officials of the dynasty, who really contributed to the country, one by one Qingliu hid in the dark room all day long to clear the discussion, the thieves are going to fry in the Central Plains, they are still busy praising each other's names, the bastards are criticizing the government and the government, and they are going to give up Liangzhou! ”
Ma Yuewu scolded himself non-stop, he had been depressed in his heart for too long, it wasn't that he falsely accused those Qingliu, but they were useless like this, if they gave up Liangzhou, would they give up Sanfu if the rebels came again?
He wanted to continue, but Liang Hu stretched out his hand to him and instructed him to shut up.
"Since you really want to hear it, the old man tells you what you should do. Once the chaos is coming, the artifact is not guaranteed, the old man and His Majesty will recommend you to regain military power, the world is chaotic, you go to level the world, the princes are chaotic, you will calm the princes, and if the people's hearts are chaotic, you will calm the hearts of the people, kill those traitors and thieves, and then come back to defend the royal family. ”
"If it's really as bad as you say, the world will be in chaos, the princes will be in chaos, and the hearts of the people will be in chaos...... You can't fight those smart people. You go back to Liangzhou, that is your hometown, you have prestige, prestige, qualifications, brains, and insight! Lead all of our Liangzhou people out, don't care about Qiangqi Tuge, as long as it's your people, take them all out! ”
"Even if you rebel, you must come back with your thousands of troops and horses, kill a river of blood, and kill until the world is peaceful!"
