The book is picked up again.

As Li Zhi expected, Ding Yuan was furious after hearing his explanation.

"How is this different from the faint king?!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Yuan stood up and walked around the big tent irritably.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he paused, and asked Li Zhi with a suspicious face: "Hussar General, what you said is true?" ”

After asking, he stared at Li Zhi with blazing eyes, not letting go of every expression on his face.

When Li Zhi heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent face: "Have you heard that Ben Hou has bullied anyone in Luoyang City?"

Ben Hou didn't even bother to oppress some civilians, how could he oppress His Majesty? ”

After hearing Li Zhi's explanation, Ding Yuan looked at Li Zhi and said in a deep voice: "You are a minister of Your Majesty, if you are really as loyal as you say, Your Majesty wants to kill you, it is just a matter of holy decree, why does he have to do more to send that ridiculous edict to the old man?" ”

At the beginning, Ding Yuan was indeed very angry after hearing Li Zhi's words.

However, after all, he has been an official for many years, and he has the means and tricks he should have.

So, after his anger subsided a little, he sensed something strange.

If Li Zhi is really a loyal minister, then it would be too simple for Liu Wei to deal with Li Zhi.

The sentence "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die" can kill Li Zhi.

In this case, why did Liu Wei not use the simple method, but instead issued the ridiculous edict for help, and dealt with Li Zhi in a roundabout way?

There is only one explanation for all this, and that is that Li Zhi is lying!

After hearing Ding Yuan's words, Li Zhi also knew that he suspected that he was lying.

After guessing Ding Yuan's inner thoughts, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Ding Tingshi, if Ben Hou tells you, Your Majesty just thinks that Ben Hou is a threat, and is afraid that he will directly order Ben Hou to be executed, and Ben Hou will rebel, so he has to beware of Ben Hou everywhere, and finally wants to get rid of Ben Hou, so he sent that Dao Holy Decree, do you believe it?" ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Ding Yuan was dumbfounded.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, looked at Li Zhi with shocked eyes, and stammered, "You... Are you saying that His Majesty is afraid of your power and regards you as an enemy, so he issued that misleading decree? ”

Speaking of this, he reluctantly suppressed the shock in his heart, stared at Li Zhi, and asked word by word: "Do you dare to swear that you have never done anything against your majesty?" ”

It is doubtful that the reason why His Majesty hates Li Zhi so much is because Li Zhi has done something that His Majesty hates.

After hearing Ding Yuan's inquiry, Li Zhi shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Since Benhou entered Beijing, he has respected the imperial power very much.

Even if the first emperor was ashamed of Ben Hou many times, Ben Hou never complained about the first emperor.

Moreover, after the first emperor was replaced by Zhang Rang, it was Ben Hou who contributed to destroy Zhang Rang's plan and expose Zhang Rang's wolf ambitions.

When Zhang Rang's last dying struggle kidnapped His Majesty and his brother Liu Xie, it was Ben Hou who rescued the two of them.

After His Majesty ascended the throne now, His Majesty was even more afraid of the power of Benhou, so he lived in seclusion in Luoyang and did not ask about the world.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager ordering someone to recruit Dong Zhuo into the capital, Ben Hou would have been living in seclusion. ”

With that, he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes tightly, and tears seemed to glisten in the corners of his eyes.

After being silent for a while, Li Zhi opened his eyes and sighed again, and continued: "After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he wanted to strengthen His Majesty's military power, so he set his sights on the position of the general.

Ben Hou believed that Ding Tingshi had also heard of the gambling fight some time ago. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ding Yuan, and after seeing Ding Yuan's ugly face and nodded, he continued: "In the original gambling battle, it was Ben Hou who gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to deter Dong Zhuo, so that he didn't dare to have any other ideas.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops mobilized by Ben Hou, Dong Zhuo had scruples, and Ben Hou would bet that Dong Zhuo would definitely wipe out He Jin and His Majesty!

After the gambling fight, Dong Zhuo became a general, and he was even more unscrupulous.

He not only snatched the military power of the Southern Army, but also wanted to get all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed outside the city with Ben Hou to fight in the east and west.

At the beginning, when His Majesty was cornered by Dong Zhuo, it was Ben Hou's efforts that kept tens of thousands of troops for His Majesty

However, Ben Hou didn't expect that His Majesty would hand over all those troops to Dong Zhuo in order to deal with Ben Hou.

However, that time was a miscalculation by His Majesty, after Dong Zhuo took over his army, he did not attack Ben Hou at all, but turned the spearhead and turned the spearhead towards His Majesty. ”

After complaining about his grievances, Li Zhi pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked Ding Yuan with a sad face: "Ding Tingshi, you are commenting on the theory, what Ben Hou has done, how can you say that he can be called a loyal minister, right?"

But just waiting for such a loyal thing is just because he controls Beijing, he is regarded by His Majesty as a thorn in the flesh and has repeatedly wanted to put Ben Hou to death, if it weren't for Ben Hou's cleverness and many times to save the day, now, Ben Hou may not have the opportunity to sit here and talk to you. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It may be precisely because Ben Hou has turned the danger into a disaster many times that His Majesty is even more jealous of Ben Hou."

Presumably, His Majesty must have felt that he had dealt with Ben Hou many times, and Ben Hou must have a grudge against him and tried every means to remove him from the throne.

That's why Your Majesty will send that ridiculous holy decree to Ding Tingshi. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi didn't say any more, shook his head, and closed his eyes tightly, as if to stop the tears from flowing out of his eyes.

But the truth is......

"You must hold back, don't laugh! I endured it when I was caught by Brother Bong Hyoxian, and I will definitely be able to endure it this time! Li Zhi thought so inwardly.

Ding Yuan didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking, he saw Li Zhi close his eyes tightly, and thought that Li Zhi didn't want to let himself see his weakness, so he closed his eyes tightly, he was afraid that he would see his tears.

With this thought, Ding Yuan patted Li Zhi's shoulder with sympathy on his face, and comforted: "Hussar general, don't be too sad, if things are really as you say, the old man will definitely seek justice for you!" ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Li Zhi carefully and asked, "But... Hussar general, is what you say true? ”

can be a thorn for so many years, Ding Yuan is not a simple character, he will not let down his vigilance because of sympathy.

So he was hearing Li Zhi's words

Later, he just comforted him, even if he made a promise to Li Zhi, he left room for himself.

At this time, he was still very suspicious of Li Zhi in his heart, as far as he knew, Li Zhi was not as aggrieved as he said in Luoyang City, but an overlord who no one dared to move.

Therefore, he suspected that the kind of grievances that Li Zhi showed at this time were all pretended!

After Li Zhi heard Ding Yuan's words, he chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect Ding Yuan to be so vigilant.

However, everything he just said was true.

Although many of these things are wrong, they beautify themselves to a certain extent.

However, this kind of lie with nine truths and one falsehood can deceive people the most, and he is not afraid of Ding Yuan to investigate at all.

Therefore, after hearing Ding Yuan's inquiry, Li Zhi immediately opened his eyes, looked at Ding Yuan with sincere eyes, raised his right hand, and swore loudly: "Ding Tingshi, if the things Ben Hou just said have a half-word lie, it will make Ben Hou suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing his heart!" ”

After finishing speaking, he put down his hand, looked at Ding Yuan, and asked word by word: "Ben Hou made such a heavy oath, can Ding Tingshi believe what Ben Hou said?" ”

Seeing this, Ding Yuan grabbed his hand and said with a face full of self-reproach: "Hussar General, what a trouble!

As long as you tell the old man that what you say is true, the old man will not doubt you, why do you need to find out that you swear so much?! ”

After finishing speaking, he shook his head with a look of self-reproach, looking like he regretted forcing Li Zhi to discover the oath.

However, although his words were good, he was more vigilant against Li Zhi in his heart.

He made up his mind, after entering Luoyang this time, he sent people to inquire everywhere for news, and he must inquire about everything Li Zhi said just now.

It's no wonder that he's so careful, he's in a state and there's often alien invasions.

Sometimes, when he led his troops and horses to defeat some of the aliens, the chiefs of the aliens solemnly swore to him that as long as he let the aliens go, they would never invade the annexed state again.

However, the patriarchs of those foreign races, after taking the oath, often rebelled and continued to invade and annex the state.

Therefore, Ding Yuan doesn't believe in all the oaths now.

After Li Zhi heard Ding Yuan's words, he looked at his eyes carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Li Zhi suddenly found that there was a strong look of vigilance in the depths of Ding Yuan's eyes.

This discovery made him a little confused, and he couldn't understand why Ding Yuan would be more wary of him than before, he had obviously discovered the re-oath.

"Ahem!" Ding Yuan saw Li Zhi looking at him in a daze, and after coughing embarrassedly, he said: "Forgive me, the hussar general, the old man still has to go into the city to reply to His Majesty, so the old man will no longer disturb the hussar general, and take his leave!" ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed slightly to Li Zhi.

Seeing this, Li Zhi also hurriedly stood up, and after returning the salute, he said: "In this case, then Benhou will not leave much history of Ding Thorn." ”

"Farewell!"

"Walk slowly, and we will talk when we have time in the future."

"The hussar general stays, and the old man knows the ...... by himself"
