Chapter 532 Xi Zhicai Advises Li Ru
"This place may be too crude, but it's better than safety. I don't know if Mr. Wen You can get used to it."

Li Ru was imprisoned by Xi Zhicai in a dark room in Shangshutai. This was originally the place where Li Ru listened to the shadows and reported information. Although it was dark and hidden, it was very clean.

Liu Bei was not used to being brought by Xi Zhicai, so he asked.

"Thank you Xuande for your concern."

Li Ru looked extraordinarily elegant at the moment, as if he had learned a lot, and he didn't have the viciousness of poisoning the young emperor and abandoning Luoyang to lure millions of HN people into Chang'an: "Actually, Xuande doesn't know, it's much better now. In the past, there were only Two candles, now there are at least dozens of them."

There was a lot of joke in Li Ru's tone, Liu Bei didn't care about it at all, and said: "For the sake of the light, it is worth paying a little price."

What Liu Bei meant was to persuade Li Ru to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. You were in the dark all day at that time, but now you can choose to live in the light.

Li Ru said indifferently: "Ru is a sinful body, and he dare not tarnish the light. I really need Liu Hou to bother."

Xi Zhicai asked Li Ru to kill Liu Xie, but Li Ru failed to do so, regardless of whether Xi Zhicai meant Liu Bei or not?With this secret in his hands, will Liu Bei let him live?the answer is negative.Rather than being humiliated and dying after taking refuge in Liu Bei, it is better to die loyal to Dong Zhuo with backbone.

Liu Bei didn't know the joint, so he asked again: "Mr. Wen You really doesn't think about living in the light?"

Li Ru smiled brightly, since he was going to die, why hesitate, nodded and said: "Why do you need to think about it!"

Seeing Li Ru's categorical words, Liu Bei sighed: "It's a pity that you are so talented."

Li Ru's eyes darkened upon hearing this, yes!If Dong Zhuo had listened to himself in everything, he would never have ended up like this, at least not so soon.

Seeing the change in Li Ru's eyes, Liu Bei thought there was a turning point, but unfortunately soon Li Ru became firm in his mind, and Liu Bei had no choice but to get up and leave.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Li Ru, and quickly followed Liu Bei.

After the two went out, Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, although Li Wenyou refused straightforwardly, but he also hesitated for a moment. With this moment of hesitation, a certain one is sure to persuade him to submit to the lord."

For a top talent like Li Ru, especially one who can hide in the dark, it is undoubtedly very important to Liu Bei's career. To select suitable candidates internally, there must be an arrangement before Xun Yu enters Chang'an."

"Here!"

Xi Zhicai heard that Xun Yu settled the matter before he entered Chang'an, and realized that he really didn't have much time left. He originally thought that Liu Bei would deal with him after returning to Jinyang, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he saw Liu Bei's figure going away, and finally sighed, if there was no Liu Bei, Xi Zhicai might still be just talking about scholars?Liu Bei gave him the opportunity to display his talents, and now he wants to take his life, and he has no complaints.

Counselor?It's enough to show your talent and make your name go down in history!

Xi Zhicai hesitantly returned to the darkroom where Li Ru was held. Li Ru heard the footsteps and said without raising his head: "Brother Zhicai was disappointed. Did Liu Hou lose his temper? If someone got rid of Brother Zhicai, Somebody here apologizes in advance."

Li Ru joked that Xi Zhicai didn't take it seriously: "If Liu Hou only had this kind of bearing, would he still be able to embrace today's momentum with the posture of an ordinary person?"

Li Ru was taken aback when he heard the words: There are still people who belittle their lord like this.

Li Ru was even more shocked by Xi Zhicai's next sentence: "I know that Brother Wen You is worried that Liu Hou will blame you for killing the emperor. If so, you don't have to worry, because Liu Hou doesn't know about it. .”

"You, you actually made your own claim??"

Li Ru was so shocked by Xi Zhicai's words that he couldn't speak. How could it not be shocking that a counselor wanted to kill the emperor on his own initiative?At the same time, he was shocked by the power in Xi Zhicai's hands.

He, Li Ru, killed the young emperor by bewitching Dong Zhuo so he could do it. What about playing Zhicai?He almost killed the emperor several times, and now the young emperor who was burned is missing. Is he too courageous?Isn't he afraid that Liu Bei will liquidate him if he finds out?

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "It's not self-assertion. Liu Hou's subordinates are not calm. Xun You, Xun Yu's nephew, Guo Yi, Zuo Yuan and others all suggested that Liu Hou coerce the emperor to make the princes, but you should I also investigated that Liu Hou has always been soft-tempered and respected Huang Lao Taoism. If he really coerces the emperor to order the princes, once the world is unified and the emperor is in charge, can Liu Hou persist in not handing over power under the persuasion of everyone? Not only Liu Hou, but even our so-called direct descendants of Liu Hou, how can there be any fate?"

Li Ru took Xi Zhicai's words seriously, but didn't Dong Zhuo do the same?Dong Zhuo was murdered, the generals of Xiliang were killed and wanted, if Xi Zhi hadn't let him go, the Xiliang army would have been wiped out by Wang Yun and others long ago.

"Brother Zhicai is really a loyal man!"

Not only did Li Ru think of his act of poisoning the young emperor himself, it was an evil thing he had to do to pave the way for his master.

Xi Zhicai waved his hand: "A loyal man, I'm not worthy, but to repay Liu Hou's kindness! Brother Wenyou, are you really willing to die and bury your talents in the loess?"

Li Ru's eyes darkened: "Heh! The winner is the king and the villain is defeated, a certain notoriety is notorious, how can Liu Hou tolerate a certain one?"

Seeing that Li Ruyi moved, Xi Zhicai said, "Of course I can accommodate Brother Wenyou, but I wonder if Brother Wenyou can take a certain position?"

Li Ru was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Brother Zhicai, is he entrusting his funeral?"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "Brother Wenyou, to be honest, my health is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid the end is coming!"

Li Ru's heart moved, but he was embarrassed.

Xi Zhicai said: "Brother Wenyou, you might as well think about it for a few more days, and then notify someone after the result, the shadow will always be there."

When Xi Zhi mentioned the shadow, Li Ru was shocked, and then buried his head in the table in front of him, which was full of the latest information, including Yuan Shao's dissemination of Liu Bei's murder of the emperor.

Because of Yuan Shao's malicious slander, the gentry all over the world scolded Liu Bei for his hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and Liu Bei's reputation as a benevolent gentleman was once stink in the streets.

Immediately, even worse consequences were triggered. Under the leadership of Sima Lang, the Hanoi clan Sima took refuge in Wang Kuang. Sima Lang's defection made Hanoi completely fall into Wang Kuang's hands. Xu Rong, who was crossing the river, also withdrew HN and Yuan Shao used a rumor to collapse the crisis in Hanoi.

Han Sui got the news that Liu Bei occupied Chang'an, but Ni Yang was still in the hands of the ban, so Han Sui had to withdraw with Ma Teng.

When Han Sui was withdrawing, he was raided by the imperial guards led by Yu Jin. The Chengyi Department suffered heavy losses, and finally had to give up Anding County.
