Ma Chao never thought that those brain-dead plots in the middle of the crossing would be realized on him, but there was only one Xun You, or because he saw that scholars were more resourceful and less decisive, and it was difficult to achieve great things, plus he had indirectly killed his father Ma Teng, so he took the initiative to take refuge in himself.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard Li Ru call him 'lord' and say that he wanted to seek refuge, Ma Chao was so shocked that he shattered the difference in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "The doctor is already the son-in-law of the Taishi, and the chief confidant and strategist." The Taishi is also obedient to the doctor, so why does the doctor come to tease Chaoye? ”

"The lord is dressed neatly at this time, but he is going out to Situ Mansion?" Li Ru did not answer Ma Chao's question, but asked like this.

Ma Chao's heart froze, but he replied quietly on his face: "But it's like this, I haven't been to the court for a long time, and I don't know anything about the affairs of the court." Today, when the cheap body is healed, it is natural to go to Situ's mansion and ask Wang Situ for advice. ”

did not deny it, although Ma Chao made up a reason, he said where he went. From this, he wanted to judge how many secrets Li Ru knew. Also, what did he want to do this time!

"If Confucianism is good, Xun Yu Xun Gongda has already taken refuge in the lord?" Li Ru asked again, and this question has gradually touched Ma Chao's bottom line. At this time, Ma Chao's face had begun to darken, and he even had the idea of killing people.

However, thinking that Li Ru, a poisonous snake, dared to come alone, he must have already had a perfect plan, and he couldn't kill Ma Chao to take it. However, Ma Chao is really difficult to answer his question. After all, Li Ru's relationship with himself seems to be friend or foe, and if he rashly admits it, he is afraid that he will catch fire.

The doctor said with a smile, Xun Yu Xun Gongda is a famous family of the Wang family, although Chao is a descendant of General Han Fubo, but his identity and fame, after all, are far from the Xun family. What the Doctor said. It's ridiculous, and I don't know how to answer. ”

But after Li Ru heard this, he didn't change his expression at all. still said as if talking to himself: "After Confucianism was unwilling to be a man in his life, he worked hard to become Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. It even forged a golden age for him. However, looking at it today, Jia Xu and Xun You are indeed much more likely to be than Confucianism......."

Ma Chao didn't know how to interface with these words. And Li Ru seemed to be in a frustrated mood at this time, standing in a daze. Just don't say a word. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent. Both of them have a heart on their minds and do not say a word.

After a long time, Li Ru reacted first, and said to Ma Chao: "Come here today to take refuge." Surely the Lord was skeptical. But Confucianism only wanted to talk to the lord about the scholars, so that the lord could be more prepared. ”

"The matter of scholars?" Ma Chao was stunned, Li Ru is indeed the head snake in Chang'an, and I am afraid that he will already be in the context of the entire Chang'an. Feel it clearly. It's just that he came to shout for refuge today, and at this time he mentioned the matter of scholars, which really made Ma Chao suspicious.

"The scholar read poetry and books, reported to the court, and appeased the people. What's the matter? So that the doctor is like this? Ma Chao continued to say in a daze.

"Why are you playing with each other?!" Unexpectedly, Li Ru was a little anxious at this time: "Now that Qin Guan is in the hands of the lord, Tai... Dong Thief was fascinated by the eldest princess of Yang Zhai and did not want to forge ahead, and even more scholars had already laid out the overall situation, waiting for Dong Thief to enter. Although Confucianism is shallow and ignorant, he also sees that the day of Dong Thief's death is in the near future. I thought a lot last night, and after figuring out all the tricks, I also thought that only Yongzhou can tolerate Li Ru now, but why is the lord so unbelievable? ! ”

'I believe you're a fucking big-headed ghost!' Ma Chao was also angry at this time: he was two years at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he already knew how dark this history was. Although Li Ru is all right, but he ran painlessly and said that he would be killed, and then cried and shouted to take refuge in himself, this kind of thing, hum, in his previous life, it was not so tortuous and surprising to buy a lottery ticket and win a five-million jackpot!

"In that case, then please tell me why only Yongzhou is the place where the doctor lives? I want to see what kind of sycamore there is in Yongzhou that can attract the phoenix of the doctor! Ma Chao snorted coldly, it was really caused by emotional anger. After all, Li Ru's words explained the situation in Chang'an thoroughly and exposed himself to the daylight. This feeling, Ma Chao felt as if he had been stripped naked and stood in front of Li Ru.

"What the subordinates said is not meant to say Yongzhou, but to say that the master of Yongzhou is you, the lord!" Li Ru gave up his hand again and looked at the armchair on the side.

Ma Chao understood, this Li Ru wanted to sit down and talk in detail, he waved his hand helplessly: "The doctor should sit down first and then say, super layman, I don't know why the doctor is so favored?" After saying this, Ma Chao also instructed the maidservant outside the door to make two more cups of tea.

After Li Ru sat down, after hearing Ma Chao's words on tea, he couldn't help but leave his old and anxious look behind, and only after a thank you did he say in a deep voice: "Confucianism has no words, if there is anything offensive to the lord, please bear with the lord." And what Confucianism said before is not to say how the lord governs in a proper way, nor is it to say that the lord is shocked by the great military exploits of Saiwai, but fundamentally speaking, the lord and Dong thief are just a vulgar warrior in the eyes of those scholars and doctors in the Han Dynasty! ”

Ma Chao was so angry that he almost dropped the little maid's newly changed hot tea. However, what he has to admit is that what Li Ru said is very right, very right! Therefore, he had to try his best to endure his temper, pretend to be tea, and continue to listen to Li Ru's story.

"Since Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the emperor who ascended the throne of the Han Dynasty was young, and his relatives and eunuchs took turns to govern, which gave rise to the group of relatives and eunuchs. In recent years, due to the increasingly frequent rebellions of foreign races on the border and the rebellion of displaced people in the interior, especially the rebellion of the Yellow Turban bandits, the wars of the Han Dynasty have gradually increased. And in the war, a group of warriors grew up, such as Dong Zhuo and the lord. After taking a sip of hot tea, Li Ru couldn't help but feel a little relaxed. It seems that he wants to take refuge with him and talk to Ma Chao in detail.

"Yes, that's exactly the case, and the scholar group is the foundation of the entire court officials, always interspersed with these groups, acting as masterminds or coercions, competing for their opportunity to take power." Regarding Li Ru's intention to have a long talk, Ma Chao did not refuse. First, he did not know more about the disputes of the entire era than Li Ru, an ancient; Second, Wang Yun knew that before he went to see him, he talked with Li Ru for a long time, which was afraid that it would invisibly increase some psychological pressure on Wang Yun.

After all, at this time, Ma Chao is the status of the three factions of Chang'an, and it has never changed. No, it should be said that the attitude of both defense and co-optation has never changed, but the way is a little different: Dong Zhuo is shocked and wants to make Ma Chao submit; And Liu Xie was using it and wanted Ma Chao to work for him; As for the Shiren group, Ma Chao guessed that it should be inclined to woo, but it can be seen from Wang Yun's attitude towards contempt for Lu Bu after Wang Yun took power in the later period that they should just be wooing, and there was no cooperation at all. Because they are high-minded, and they are disdainful.

When Li Ru heard Ma Chao say this at this time, his eyes couldn't help but brighten, as if he was a little surprised by Ma Chao's political consciousness. However, after this, he said with a solemn and sad expression: "Does the lord know that Dong Zhuo and the scholars also had a good time?" ”

Ma Chao was shocked: How is this possible?! All historical data show that Dong Zhuo and the scholars couldn't pee in a pot, and they were born to die!

Could it be that Li Ru really saw through some things, and only by taking refuge in himself could he survive?
