Sun Ce said to Li Ru, King Hongnong died from your cup of wine, there is nothing to say, whether your conscience is condemned or not, this is a fact and cannot be changed. But is it up to you to blame for the death of King Hongnong? This is debatable.

Why did you kill King Hongnong, is it because you have a personal vendetta against King Hongnong? Of course not, you are on Dong Zhuo's orders.

Who is Dong Zhuo and why are you listening to his orders? He was Xiangguo at the time, you are Lang Zhongling, and you can't help but listen to his orders.

Xiangguo is the first assistant of the foreign dynasty, and he has not been established for a long time, how could Dong Zhuo change the system and become Xiangguo? Why didn't the other ministers speak out against it?

Okay, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong, they can't stop it. So Dong Zhuo, as a general of the border army, how could he appear in Luoyang? He only had 3,000 people at the beginning, why was he able to master the government, and what did Yuan Shao, who claimed to be a healthy man in the world, do at that time?

It is convenient for a smart person to speak, and as soon as Sun Ce said a few words, Li Ru understood what he meant. That's right, King Hongnong died at his hands, but the responsibility for King Hongnong's death cannot be borne by him alone, Dong Zhuo is responsible, Yuan Shao and others are also responsible, and in detail, Yuan Shao's responsibility is even greater. When Yuan Shao burned the palace and killed people, why did the Son of Heaven appear by the Yellow River? Did Yuan Shao send someone to find him, and did he care about his safety? If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, the Son of Heaven and the current son of Chen Liuwang, who was still King Chen Liu, might have died at that time. Shouldn't Yuan Shao be held accountable for this?

When it comes to the death of King Hongnong, Li Ru is the most direct sinner. But expanding his horizons, the death of King Hongnong is only a small detail of the collapse of the Han Dynasty, and Li Ru is not even a trick. If he doesn't kill King Hongnong, King Hongnong won't be able to live. In contrast, Yuan Shao was the initiator of this troubled era, Dong Zhuo was recruited by him, the palace was burned by him, and when King Hongnong was deposed, his uncle Yuan Kui supported him to get off the throne. The troubled times were caused by his ambition and talent, and his external courage and internal cowardice. If he had been wise, Dong Zhuo would not have entered Beijing. If he was braver, Dong Zhuo would not be able to set off the storm when he entered Beijing, and the person who should flee was Dong Zhuo instead of him Yuan Shao.

"Sir, you are the party concerned, and you have been by Dong Zhuo's side for so long, and no one knows the inside story. If you write these things out, you will have your own judgment on the merits, and it can be regarded as a merit. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I believe that King Hongnong knows who to settle the account. ”

Li Ru nodded again and again, and even the wrinkles on his face smoothed out a lot. "The general is high-minded, admired, admired."

"Sir, don't say that, I'm also a bystander. As for you, to put it bluntly, you have a clear conscience, so you have never been able to forgive yourself. If it is really a person who has lost his conscience, he will not be obsessed with this matter. ”

Li Ru was embarrassed, but he had to admit that Sun Ce was reasonable. It is not anyone else who really cannot forgive him, it is himself. Although he is attached to Dong Zhuo, he is a person who reads sage books after all, and he can't let go of the thought that the former Son of Heaven died in his hands and bears the notoriety of killing kings.

But compared with Yuan Shao, my little sin is nothing. Why should I be condemned by my conscience, but Yuan Shao can be supported by the people of the world? No, I have to reveal his true colors. I have been stinking for 10,000 years, and I can't let him stay out of it, and he wants to stink together.

Li Ru secretly decided that there was only one thing left to do in this life, and that was this article. If you don't finish this article, you won't be blind.

Sun Ce finally reminded him: To make an article about overturning the case, you must not only have clear logic, but also sufficient evidence, everything you write must be true, you can leave blank space for people to guess, but you can't be fictitious, intentionally misleading, you must be reasonable, and you can't be caught by anyone even a little flaw. You are already a sinner, and there is no need to hide what you have to write. Only in this way can it be convincing. Only then can you truly let go of the past.

Li Ru understood and left satisfied.

After sending Li Ru away, Sun Ce was in a good mood. There are many historical books that have recorded a lot of this period of history, but there is a common problem: most of the writers are descendants of the party, or supporters of the party, and a large number of historical materials are far from the truth from the beginning. It's like a few real estate tycoons commanding a few hooligans to carry out forced demolition, and finally the house is demolished, the people are affected, and the hooligans are caught, but the real estate tycoon is safe and sound, smiling and counting the money.

It was not a thug and hooligan like Dong Zhuo who really buried the Han, but a family like the Yuan family. It's just that Yuan Shao didn't have the last laugh, Cao Cao intercepted Hu, changed his hand, and was finally picked by Sima Yi.

Now, Sun Ce wants to expose the truth of this period of history and expose Yuan Shao's true face, not only to make history more meaningful, but also to morally knock Yuan Shao and the family he represents into the dust, and then step on one foot, so that they will never be able to turn over.

To do this, he did not hesitate to expose his stains. If you want to take down your opponent, don't expect yourself to be spotless. And he also believed that his little things were not worth mentioning compared to what Yuan Shao did. It's not easy to overturn the case, but with an eyewitness like Li Ru, there are witnesses, physical evidence, truth, and insider information, Yuan Shao's head should hurt.

It is a crime to kill a deposed emperor, but it is not a crime to kill people and rob the palace with open fire?

Xun Chen originally wanted to put on a show and fight with Guo Jia, but Lu Dai and Wang Lang persuaded him not to delay, so as not to waste this opportunity.

Guo Jia is deeply trusted by Sun Ce, and he is indeed very busy, especially recently. Even in the middle of summer, Sun Ce's subordinates did not relax their training, and the various departments were adjusting their defenses, Sun Ce said that the deployment would be completed within a month, and the words of launching an attack on Xia Pi were not like joking.

In the face of this situation, although no one believed that Sun Ce could really defeat Liu He in a short period of time and take Pi and Guangling, no one dared to doubt Sun Ce's determination to start a war against Liu He. If you really want to fight, even if Liu He can hold the city, Xiapi and Guangling will suffer heavy losses. If Yuan Shao couldn't attack in time, Sun Ce might even really break through the city.

Xun Chen was helpless, so he had to swallow his anger and come to see Guo Jia.

Seeing Xun Chen get out of the car, Guo Jia chuckled: "Brother Youruo, don't come to harm?" ”

Xun Chen smiled and arched his hand. "It's better to be filial to you, farewell to Yecheng, you are a straight upstream, and my old acquaintances can only stand on the ground and look up."

Guo Jia laughed. "Yes, I'm still me, in Yecheng, I'm useless, in Pingyu, but I can rise to the top, and be a conspirator, how can I be careless? Youruo, I know that you have been watching Pingyu for a few days and have seen a lot of things, but what you see is only fur, I asked General Sun for an order today, and I came to accompany you for half a day and walked around Gepi. Whatever you want to see, I'll take you to see. ”

Xun Chen was surprised and delighted. "Really?"

Guo Jia smiled and said meaningfully: "We are friends, no jokes." ”

Xun Chen heard it clearly, but he didn't feel the friendliness of his friends, and only felt an inexplicable chill.
