"Li Gong~"

Dong Ban's nose was sore, and he fell at his feet.

"Manly man, what are you crying about? Get up, I have something to tell you. ”

Li Gu has a hard temper, and he can't look down on those who cry and cry with a weak personality, and Dong Ban is not unaware, so he hurriedly held back the grief in his heart and saluted him.

"You wait first, I still have a letter to finish, just a few words."

With that, he lowered his head and waved it, then picked it up and habitually blew on the ink.

Dong Ban paid for it This must be a letter from home, and Long Linwei has already told him about Liang Ji's plans, which is explaining the future.

I couldn't help but feel even more sad in my heart, but I heard Li Gu say: "This is a letter I wrote to Taiwei Zhao and Hu Sikong, you will pass it on to them for me." ”

Dong Ban was stunned, a little unclear.

"I have been in the same court with him for many years, and they are just greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are not bad in essence."

Li Gu sighed, "That's all I say, whether they listen or not, it's a matter of helplessness." ”

"Gong Li, Ban will definitely deliver the letter."

As long as it is Li Gu's wish, Dong Ban will fulfill it no matter what, not to mention that it is just a gesture.

"You have followed me for ten years, your sincerity is commendable, although your qualifications are a little dull, but fortunately you have a good nature, if you don't think I am unable to teach, then become a closed disciple."

Dong Ban looked at him excitedly as if he was struck by lightning, his lips trembled a few times, and he quickly knelt down and saluted, calling him "Teacher".

The greatest wish of his life came so suddenly, but he couldn't be happy at all, he only felt extremely sad in his heart.

"Okay, since I am my disciple, I should inherit my legacy, serve the country and the people, do my best, and be worthy of admiration."

"No!"

Dong Ban gritted his teeth, desperately held back his tears, and solemnly kowtowed.

"Teacher, don't worry, Your Majesty will find a way to save you from ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Gu roared angrily, "Stop! ”

"You are confused, he has worked hard to accumulate a little power, just for a dying old man like me, has he lost all his efforts?"

His face was full of pain, "If for my sake, the future of the Han world is broken, won't I be trapped in unkindness and injustice, and become a sinner for the ages?" ”

This questioning from the soul made Dong Ban speechless and embarrassed......

Let's say that Liu Zhi waited in Chongde Hall for a day, and heard that the people outside had dispersed one after another, and only those Confucian scholars were still sitting and demonstrating.

Knowing that he couldn't wait for any special results today, he was about to go back to the North Palace, when suddenly the little eunuch reported that Matthew Fu asked to see him.

What did he come to do?

Liu Zhi knew about Ma Rong being invited by Liang Ji, and he understood that he couldn't refuse, but he didn't know why he wanted to see him.

"Please come in."

Ma Rong walked in with a tired face, because he was the emperor, he received special courtesy, and he had a seat in front of Liu Zhi at any time.

"Why did Taifu come?"

Liu Zhi was depressed today, and he didn't have much of the heart to entertain him, so he asked directly.

"Your Majesty, the general asked the ministers to come over and write the recital of Li Gong."

Framed?

This word is used wonderfully, Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was a little interested, it seems that there is another hidden meaning in this matter, "Oh? Did Taifu write it? ”

Ma Rong sighed and told everything about today's experience, including his true thoughts, without the slightest concealment.

It turned out that his piece was not written, and as soon as he was halfway through it, Wu You came in, walked behind him and pretended to read it for a while.

Then he pointed to his nose and began to scold, "Today you fabricated charges for Li Gongluo, if he is killed because of this, what face do you have to meet the world!" ”

After finishing speaking, he snatched the piece and tore it to pieces, Ma Rong deliberately tried his best to grab it, but he was hit on his right wrist by Wu You's crutches, and he was immediately swollen.

Liang Ji was very angry at that time, and just had an argument with Wu You, but the latter ran directly to Liang Shang's spiritual seat and cried bitterly, so that he had no choice but to stop fighting.

Ma Rong's hand was injured and he couldn't write any more songs, so Liang Ji could only let him go home.

Liu Zhi understood, he was here to surrender to himself and confess his loyalty.

"If Taifu does this, isn't he afraid that the general will hold a grudge?"

He believed that Ma Rong's essence was not bad, but this person was too life-sparing and had no integrity, he wanted to take refuge in himself, but Liu Zhi didn't dare to accept it.

In case he can't resist the pressure and betrays, won't he even have a place to cry.

"Your Majesty, in fact, what you are plotting, the old minister knows, one day you and Shan Chao were talking in the latrine, and the minister accidentally happened to hear them all."

What? Leaked?

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhi was taken aback, but he didn't expect that his plan had already been discovered by Ma Rong.

"At the beginning, the minister also had a-for-tat confrontation with the general, and later was even exiled to the southwest because of this, and the minister originally planned to kill himself, but unfortunately he couldn't be ruthless to himself."

This was the thing Ma Rong regretted the most in his life, if he had chosen other less painful ways to die, he would not have succumbed to Liang Ji's obscenity and ruined his reputation.

"But the minister has always been haunted in his heart, and he can't sleep at night, and his name has been wasted, which is really annoying and hateful."

The more Ma Rong spoke, the more excited he became, beating his chest and sobbing bitterly.

"Since Taifu's heart is towards the bright moon and he endures humiliation, there will naturally be a time to restore his name in the future."

Liu Zhi himself admired his cheekiness, and stubbornly described his greed for life and fear of death as enduring humiliation, giving him the opportunity and hope to turn the tables.

"Your Majesty......"

Ma Rong looked at him with tears in his eyes, he felt for the first time that he, a disciple of the emperor, was also talented.

In fact, Liu Zhi had no choice, he was forced to be helpless, since Ma Rong already knew his secret, it was impossible to turn him away.

He also had no choice but to woo him.

But he didn't want to tell all his plans, after all, he still couldn't trust Ma Rong's character.

The more Ma Rong knows, the more dangerous the people around him become, and he can't afford to gamble.

"Taifu is a learned person, if I am fortunate enough to be able to govern in the future, I will rely on you old ministers, and I will assist you a lot."

After being a student of Ma Rong for a year, Liu Zhi asked himself if he still knew him better, the real material was there, if it wasn't for life and death, he would be willing to be a high-spirited courtier.

"I have no regrets in this life to be so trusted by His Majesty, but please rest assured, the minister will never betray his promise, otherwise heaven will not tolerate it."

Wiping away his tears, Ma Rong was resolute with a face, and Liu Zhi also made a very trusting gesture, looking like a gentleman and a minister.

"I have written down the merits of Taifu today, I don't know how you are injured, do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

It's okay that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Ma Rong finally began to feel pain, and he couldn't help but say "ouch".

It turned out that Wu You really couldn't bear it at all, this stick was beaten strongly, and Ma Rong's wrist was swollen like a steamed bun.

"Tell the Imperial Doctor, Taifu is suffering, let's go home and rest for a few days."

Liu Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this Wu You should have a grudge against him in his heart, and he deliberately took revenge on his private interests.

The imperial doctor came over and put some medicine on him, and Liu Zhi asked people to send him back to the house, and said some reassuring words before leaving.

But he is still not sure in his heart, Ma Rong is like a time bomb, there is a danger of explosion anytime and anywhere.

In the future, let Yang Jian send someone to keep an eye on him, if he shows signs of betrayal, even if he bears the name of killing the teacher, he can't let him live.
