Chapter 88 Liu Bian was forced to recite anti-poems
Human character is sometimes extremely complex and difficult to figure out.
Take Li Ru for example. Judging from the things he has done, it is not difficult to see that he is an extremely ruthless person who is very capable of killing people.
At this time, he was King Hongnong's lieutenant. The guards guarding King Hongnong were directly taking orders from him. Under such circumstances, it would be very easy for him to kill King Hongnong.
matter.
But this guy, after returning, had to think carefully and make some other preparations before taking action, making it look very ceremonial.
"The young grass is green and the smoke is condensed, and the two flying swallows are curling up. The Luoshui is green, and people on the street admire it. Looking far into the distance, the blue clouds are deep, it is my old palace. Who can be loyal and righteous to vent the resentment in my heart!"
In the desolate and dilapidated Yong'an Palace in Luoyang City, Li Ru looked at a frightened young couple and a middle-aged woman in her thirties in front of her, and slowly recited a poem.
"King Hongnong is of great literary talent, and he can sing great poems!"
Liu Bian was flustered and at a loss: "How, when did I ever write a poem like this! Please, please don't slander anyone!"
Li Ru sneered: "I've done it before, can I still frame you?
When I was just trying to compose poems for a while, why didn’t I think about being afraid?!”
After bidding farewell to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru thought hard for a long time and finally came up with such a poem, scolding the deposed emperor Liu Bian with a sneer.
After that, he took the jug and wine glass from the guards around him. Under the frightened gazes of Liu Bian, Concubine Tang and Queen Mother He, he poured a glass of wine and looked at Liu Bian with a smile: "Come, King Hongnong.
Have a drink to calm down the shock!”
Liu Bian was so frightened at this time that his body was shaking and he could no longer speak.
His mother, Queen Mother He, asked: "What kind of wine is this?"
“Of course it’s a fine wine!”
Li Ru replied with a smile.
"Since it is fine wine, you can drink it first!"
Hearing this, Li Ru put the wine in his hand back on the tray held by the guard. After putting it away, he spoke again: "Since you don't drink longevity wine, you can receive these two things!"
After that, he reached out and pulled off the cloth on the tray held by the other samurai, revealing the white silk and sword on it.
Facing the aggressive Li Ru, as a lowly Tang concubine, she trembled and knelt down in front of Li Ru, begging Li Ru to let her die in Liu Bian's place, but was kicked aside by Li Ru.
"Who are you? Can you die for King Hongnong?"
Then he pointed at the wine glass and said to Queen Mother He: "You are the mother of King Hongnong. You can drink first and set an example with your son."
Seeing that she and others would not survive today, Queen Mother He ignored it, pointed at Li Ru, and cursed her brother He Jin, who had been hacked to death by the eunuch, and Dong Zhuo, who was not here.
Although Li Ru himself was often scolded by his father-in-law, when he heard that this woman dared to scold his father-in-law in front of him, he immediately became anxious.
He suddenly stepped forward and tore the collar of Queen Mother He with one hand. With the other hand, he faced Queen Mother He's mouth and slapped her hard several times.
Then he dragged the beaten and blinded Queen Mother He to the edge of the pavilion. Regardless of Queen Mother He's yelling, he threw Queen Mother He down from the upstairs...
"It's Li Ru!"
When Li Ru was in Yong'an Palace, committing violence against Queen Mother He, Liu Bian, Tang Concubine and others, Lu Yang, who came in from the palace of Liu Cheng's Cavalry Commander, said this to Liu Cheng
.
Liu Cheng nodded when he heard this: "It is indeed him!"
Liu Cheng had some suspicions about the task he received this time to kill Yuan Wei and other members of the Yuan clan.
After returning, I asked Lu Yang to conduct some investigation and found that he was indeed the one who played the leading role!
Sure enough, everyone has two sides, and human nature is complex.
I can't take Li Ru lightly just because of his previous behavior towards the overlord.
A person who is extremely studious, can keep himself awake for a word he doesn't understand, and always wants to be a doctor of the Five Classics, can also be a ruthless counselor.
These two points are not in conflict.
"Li Ru, Li Wenyou."
Liu Cheng whispered Li Ru's name softly.
Since he and Li Ru went to Cai Yong to identify the word on the broken blade in his dream, Liu Cheng was somewhat hesitant about how to treat Li Ru in the future.
Now, all his hesitation has disappeared.
"Back off, you are extremely talented at investigating things, which is very rare. From now on, you should mainly develop in this area.
The matter of gathering information does not sound very pleasant to talk about, and it always feels like it is not something that can be brought to the table.
It's not as exciting as using a real sword or a real gun.
But I know how important information is.
Without information, a person will become blind and deaf, unaware of many things in the outside world.
Sometimes, a crucial piece of news can play a decisive role in some things.
And this matter may still be a crucial matter.
Even if you have such talent, you might as well work harder here, I fully support it."
After Liu Cheng said this, he added: "However, when doing this, you often have to remain unknown.
Soldiers who achieve victory on the battlefield and kill enemy generals can become famous, but those who do such things cannot.
In many matters, one needs to remain silent, be an unknown hero, and cannot enjoy flowers or applause.
Let me tell you this first, and you can think about it yourself first, whether you want to do this or not."
