"At the moment...... The disciple just wants to gain a firm foothold in the border county, and then have some ability to protect himself......" Liu Tao felt that it was not good to conceal it, but he didn't plan to do it in one step, just dismantled the problem little by little, and then slowly explained it to Lu Zhi.

"Self-preservation?" Lu Zhi felt that this statement was reasonable on the one hand, after all, in the border army, it was understandable that he had the ability to protect himself in the face of the southward movement of the Hu people...... It's just that why does it feel that Liu Tao has something to say, who does he really want to 'watch out for'?

"The teacher should know that the disciple was assassinated in Luoyang, right?" Liu Tao said in a low voice.

"Yes, Yan'er mentioned this in her letter, and the teacher was a little shocked at the time. Luoyang, the imperial capital, can have such a bad thing. Lu Zhi was also emotional when he heard this, especially when he heard that Liu Tao's situation was very dangerous at that time.

If it weren't for Zhu Jun who happened to go back to his hometown to guard filial piety, passing near the gate of Luoyang, and then Cai Yan could meet him, I was afraid that something would really happen.

"The disciple's follow-up investigation found that the person behind the scenes is afraid that it is not Yuan Kui, but His Majesty......" Liu Tao did not hide it, and directly told Lu Zhi the truth.

Although a lot of it is speculation, Lu Zhi is not stupid, and after careful tasting, it is naturally clear that it is Liu Hong who is more likely to make a move, after all, whether it is whether he really has no means to use, or the identity of the ultimate beneficiary.

Really, regardless of whether Liu Tao was successfully assassinated or not, Liu Hong must be the ultimate beneficiary.

After accepting this result, Lu Zhi also probably knew what Liu Tao meant by 'self-preservation'. And Liu Tao also analyzed that the situation of Dahan has not been good recently, and then said that while he is protecting himself, he also hopes to prepare early.

If there is no great chaos in the world, then he can guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty. If the world is in turmoil, then he doesn't want to be lonely. He was very dissatisfied with the current system, believing that only by reforming, or breaking everything and re-establishing a new order, could the Han be saved, after all, he was a Ram Confucian, and the idea of Ram Confucianism was like this.

He is unhappy with Liu Hong, which can also be regarded as a characteristic of Ram Confucianism, after all, Ram Confucianism advocates great revenge.

"As a teacher, I can't understand why you ended up becoming a ram ......" Lu Zhi listened, and really didn't get angry, but was more emotional.

Maybe he hasn't taught well in the past few years, so the disciple has taken the wrong path, he blames himself a little, if he could take Liu Tao with him and teach him well at that time, it is estimated that this will not be the case.

"That's it!" Lu Zhi finally looked at Liu Tao, "As a teacher, I can see through many things, or I can't see through them, and I don't plan to care about them." Thanks to the fact that you are a member of the Han family, you don't have so much sense of indebtedness as a teacher. Whatever you want to do in the future, it's up to you! ”

Yes, it is true that the identity of the Han clan is so important. Even if the Han clan rebels, the new regime established will not be the Great Han? Even if Liu Tao rebelled openly, it was a family affair of the old Liu family, and Liu Tao would not be blamed too much.

"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Tao immediately saluted respectfully.

"It's just that how many of your subordinates know what you think?" Lu Zhi had to remind, "You must know that although the Han Dynasty is chaotic now, the orthodoxy and basic order are still maintained, which means that before this chaos, you must be stable and forbearing." ”

It's just that seriously, he feels that the word 'forbearance' has little to do with Liu Tao.

"If you are willing to serve me as Lord, I will tell them my intentions in a veiled way. But just put under my command, as a subordinate exists, I didn't say. Liu Tao replied.

"You did a good job of this...... Lu Zhi nodded when he heard this, "The world is not chaotic, if you can, don't talk nonsense." ”

When the world is in turmoil, everyone will naturally choose to take sides. Those who are willing to stay and win some fame will naturally stand closely by Liu Tao's side. If you don't want to, you will naturally leave.

suddenly understood why Liu Tao was working hard to train scholars, what he needed was to have enough talent reserves in the face of such a situation, which could be replaced immediately to ensure the stability of his rear.

Lu Zhi even felt that Liu Tao had taken it as the worst plan for the future that none of the scholars would take refuge in him. Therefore, it is planned that the selection of talents in the future will be based on the talents cultivated by themselves.

For a moment, he even felt that Liu Tao had started planning a year ago, but if that was the case, it would be too terrifying. He would even suspect that Liu Tao was no longer Liu Tao, but was occupied by some kind of demon.

Liu Tao's words are indeed very effective, and with the help of Liu Hong's assassination of him, he has portrayed himself as a victim. Maybe Lu Zhi will guess the truth later, or pay attention to the contact with Lu Yan, and gradually learn the truth.

But it doesn't matter, as long as this excuse makes sense, then many people will selectively ignore something unimportant. Liu Tao must be a victim, because of the persecution, he had to raise troops - just like Liu Xiu, who was persecuted by Emperor Gengshi!

Sending Lu Zhi to Lu Yan's house, Liu Tao was also relieved, and if this old man was done, the problem would basically no longer be a problem!

Especially the scribes who defected to him, he could see that these people had been complaining about not being able to get to the core. But the problem is that he refuses to admit the master, and even thinks that Xun is a little stupid......

If it goes on, this resentment is estimated to become a time bomb, and Lu Zhi's arrival just gives them a way to vent. Scholars like this rarely have a meeting, and then they vaguely complain to Lu Zhi, who gives feedback to themselves.

Through such a bridge, to maintain their loyalty, and even through Lu Zhi, to test their ideas. So that when the day comes when the real big change comes, they will probably stay, which is the best outcome.

Back in the house, Liu Tao felt that the whole person was paralyzed, and he stayed with the old man all day, and the psychological pressure was far greater than the physical exhaustion. Especially when he persuaded the old man for a while, he was really worried about whether this step would be wrong.

"Young master?" Ren Hongchang quickly noticed Liu Tao's abnormality and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired, are you ready for dinner?" Liu Tao smiled, then stood up. As the head of the family, no matter how hard and tired he is, he will not show it in front of his family, which is a man's responsibility.

Speaking of which, some people in later generations also advocated that the family face danger together, believing that this can enhance family affection.

Liu Tao feels that he may be a more conservative existence. Or, in the current situation of the cold world in the later generations, if you really encounter any problems, you can say it directly, and it is estimated that the other half of the family will most likely directly ask for divorce to avoid risks.

When will the catastrophe gradually become the mainstream......

"It's ready, the young master will go to the side hall first, and the food will be delivered later." Ren Hongchang replied, still holding Liu Tao and walking towards the side hall.

Liu Tao is actually a little out of strength, and he has recovered after a while, but he just enjoys Ren Hongchang's performance. Perhaps, properly letting women show their own value is also a way of getting along with families.

As a result, as soon as he sat down, Xun Yu panicked: "Lord, please save Yin Yu, he seems to be dying!" ”

"Uh...... Is the sudden illness so bad? Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, then stood up obediently and hurriedly went out.
