Chapter 44: Li Ru's Past

Li Ru took Chu Yi's hand and welcomed him into the Dong Mansion affectionately, but only took him into a relatively remote room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Ru smiled: "Dong Chengcheng is meeting guests, it is inconvenient to disturb for the time being, Young Master Chu, please wait here for a while." ā€

Chu Yi's eyes narrowed and nodded.

Li Ru smiled: "Wen You has also seen Gongzi's "A Fang Gong Fu", which borrows from the past and the present, it is really a pearl of words, and Wen You deeply admires it." ā€

Chu Yi knew that the other party must be testing himself, but Chu Yi was not an old fox, and he didn't have the energy to talk to Li Ruxu and the snake: "How can Tong Yan and jokes be worthy of Lord Li's love like this?" If Master Li has something to say, why bother. ā€

Li Ru was not embarrassed, and smiled: "Chu Gongzi is also a cheerful person, I read Chu Gongzi's writings, and I feel that Chu Gongzi must be a person who worries about the country and the people, and I heard that Chu Gongzi has great ambitions and wants to set his heart for heaven and earth!" I don't know, why did Gongzi Chu come to Dong Gong, as far as I know, everyone in the world regards Dong Gong as a chaotic minister and thief......"

Chu Yi's eyes narrowed: "Why did Master Li say this?" I was just recruited by Dong Taiwei, how can I say that I took refuge? ā€

Li Ru laughed: "It seems that Gongzi Chu still doesn't trust me!" That's right, it was indeed Master Cai who recommended you to Dong Gong, and it was indeed Dong Gong who recruited you, but Lord Cai himself was forced to come, and you are his son-in-law and favorite disciple, if there was no request from you, how could he be willing to recommend you in front of Dong Gong and let you come to the troubled waters of Luoyang? ā€

Chu Yi was slightly shocked in his heart, although Li Ru did not have the ability to awaken, his IQ should not be underestimated! But Chu Yi had already made all the preparations, his face remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Since Lord Li is Guangluxun, the official worships Jiuqing, and his status is not high, then why would he rather risk being scolded by the people of the world than take refuge in Taiwei Dong?" Could it be that you want to be the three princes who will be removed as soon as there is a natural disaster? ā€

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then sighed, slowly closed his eyes and opened them again, his face showed nostalgia, and said leisurely: "I was originally an ordinary Liangzhou scholar, who was filial piety and honesty, and my family was also a small family, so I became a petty official in Fufeng County." After joining the office, I also have the same ambitions as Chu Gongzi, I want to learn from Dou Youping and Chen Zhongju. When dealing with government affairs, he was conscientious and conscientious, and although he did not dare to say that he loved the people like children, he was also clean and tidy. Don't dare to do anything about the people. ā€

"I have also learned from Zengzi's three self-examinations: seeking for others and not being loyal? Speak to the people and don't believe it? Learning government affairs but not getting used to it? I originally thought that as long as I did my best, then I would definitely come out one day and be able to display my ambitions in the court! Until one day, one of my former colleagues was promoted, he was not a good person, and I looked down on him in my heart, but he was promoted. I was not convinced, so I found someone to theorize, and later someone told me that he had bribed a senior official. ā€

Speaking of this, Li Ru's face could not see any expression, but his trembling voice exposed the ups and downs in his heart: "Hehe...... The Son of Heaven sold his official position in the court, so he went up and down. I also learned that the Shangguan was a distant relative of the eunuch Zhao Zhong...... Hehe, the Son of Heaven is naturally right, and the wrong ones are those eunuch villains who bewitch the Son of Heaven. I was lost and I didn't know what to do. It just so happened that the Hu people were in Liangzhou again, and although I served in Sili, I still thought about the fathers and elders of Liangzhou in my heart, and hoped that the imperial court would send troops to fight back. ā€

As a result, the imperial court only symbolically sent troops forward, and the imperial army's army had not yet arrived, and the Hu people had already left, leaving only the devastated Liangzhou. I received a letter from home that my sister had also been killed by the Hu people of Koubian. Ha ha...... She was only fourteen years old at the time, and she was not even in time for merger...... I hate it so much, but I don't know who to hate, at that time, the three heroes of Liangzhou, Duan Jiming, Huangfu Weiming, and Zhang Ranming were still alive, if the court was really determined to fight back, it would still be able to teach the Hu people a lesson, but the meat eaters in the court didn't do it......"

Chu Yi subconsciously interrupted: "No, the imperial court and Qianghu have been fighting for a hundred years, and it has cost countless people, and the treasury can't support a big battle in a short period of time!" ā€

Li Ru's eyes flashed: "Gongzi Chu knows it very well......"

Chu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, he still fell for Li Ru's bitter offensive, Li Ru naturally would not put his heart into people for no reason......

Chu Yi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's also for various reasons, Master Li might as well finish his words first." ā€

Li Ru nodded: "I only learned about the fact that the treasury is not full later, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that only by climbing up and holding power in the temple can I avenge the fathers and elders of Liangzhou and realize my ambitions!" Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. The imperial court has not been waiting to see Liangzhou, and in recent decades, the imperial court has discussed at least three times whether to give up Liangzhou, and Liangzhou Baixin has been detached from the imperial court. So I think, if I, a Liangzhou person, can climb to a high position, will it make the imperial court value Liangzhou? ā€

So I kept climbing up, doing everything I could to get to the top, and I was smarter than the average person, and I never got my hands dirty. But the higher I climbed, the more powerless I felt. The competition for power among the major families, wealthy families and eunuchs is very fierce, they almost monopolize the upper class, and I am like an ant in front of their great strength! Gradually, I lost myself and was in a state of confusion all day long until the arrival of Dong Gong. ā€

"I've heard of Dong Gong's name before, but I didn't care about it until he came over and controlled everything with lightning speed! At that time, my long-dormant heart felt throbbing again, and the dream of my youth was revived again! So I found Dong Gong, and I felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to realize my ambitions, and a chance to be able to fulfill my dreams! ā€

Chu Yi lowered his head and took a sip of water, and smiled slightly: "I see, Master Li, I think we are very similar." In fact, the person I want to take refuge in is not Dong Zhuo, nor Dong Zhongying, but Dong Taiwei. ā€

Li Ru smiled: "Why do you have to take refuge in Mrs. Dong?" ā€

Chu Yi also smiled, like a lazy cat: "Because of a person." ā€

"Women?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that Young Master Chu was not very old, but he was also a seed of infatuation!"

"No, that person is my sister."

"Oh, this is my abruptness, what's wrong with your sister?"

Chu Yi smiled. briefly said Lu Bu's life experience.

Li Ru was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face: "...... I see, you want your sister to avenge her father? ā€

For the first time, Chu Yi showed the appearance of a young man, and smiled wildly: "Yes, what is the heart for heaven and earth, and what is the life for the people?" It's all bullshit! All I want to do is to kill all the dogs and make my sister happy! ā€

Listening to Chu Yi's words, Li Ru didn't think he was angry, but smiled, perhaps this was the first time he showed a sincere smile after seeing Chu Yi: "On this point, I am quite compatible with Chu Gongzi." ā€

Chu Yi straightened his expression and arched his hand: "If my sister can really lead the troops to kill Hu Gou on the battlefield one day, our sister and brother will definitely thank Master Li for his great kindness!" ā€

Li Ru laughed: "What does this have to do with me?" If that Lu Fengxian really has the strength of the peak of the prefecture level, then I don't need to say it, Dong Gong will definitely reuse her! ā€

After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance gradually stopped, and Li Ru smiled: "Presumably the banquet has been dispersed, Zizhang wait a minute, I will inform Dong Gong for you first." ā€

Chu Yi smiled: "Then there is Master Lao Li!" ā€

Li Ru smiled slightly: "What's this, maybe we will be colleagues in the future!" ā€

Chu Yi's face was full of smiles: "It's up to Master Li!" ā€

Li Ru left with a smile, and Chu Yi sent him out of the house all the time, and only after seeing him go away did he return to the house to sit.

"It should be regarded as passing......" Chu Yi's back was already wet with sweat, and intrigue with others was really not his strong point. However, seeing Li Ru's last expression, he obviously believed Chu Yi's words, and Chu Yi also successfully sold Lu Bu.

"But this Li Ru can really calm his temperament!" Although it was not directly said that Lu Bu was actually heaven-level, the peak of the earth-level was also rare in the world, and Chu Yi knew that Dong Zhuo himself was only the strength of the early or mid-stage of the earth-level. But Li Ru didn't react too much surprise after hearing this, obviously he is also a scheming person, not to be underestimated!
