Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 170 Power Poison
When Jia Xu said this, his eyes were full of worry. From the information he received, Li Ru had been captured by Liu Yu.
If Liu Yu killed Li Ru immediately, Jia Xu would not be surprised at all.
From the moment Liu Yu received the emperor's edict and left Luoyang, Li Ru's killing moves against Liu Yu continued.
If it weren't for Liu Yu's far-sightedness, he would have probably died at the hands of Li Ru long ago.
Burning down a Han capital that had existed for 200 years, leaving countless civilians homeless and dying, was enough to bring Li Ru to ruin.
"Wenyou is at home right now. Does Wenhe want to meet him?"
Liu Yu asked casually, without any emotional fluctuation.
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Jia Xu showed a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Mr. Li has been very kind to me in recommending me to a university. I have never forgotten this. If the emperor's uncle grants permission, please let me meet him first."
"Shuzhi, take Wenhe with you."
Chen Dao responded and took Jia Xu to the backyard.
Not long after, they arrived at a quiet courtyard.
Jia Xu paused for a moment and carefully looked at the layout of the courtyard, which was filled with red flowers, green trees, a small bridge and flowing water. The layout was very exquisite.
There were two or three people who looked like maids in the yard, who were tidying up the courtyard. When they saw the two people coming, they hurriedly saluted.
Seeing this, Jia Xu's face showed a hint of surprise. In his impression, even if Liu Yu had not yet punished Li Ru, he would still be in prison. Even if he was not in prison, he would probably be under house arrest.
Judging from the current situation, this is obviously not the case.
In such a quiet environment, there is no need to blame anyone at all.
"Mr. Li is right here." Chen Dao pointed to the room and continued, "I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he bowed and turned to leave.
Jia Xu walked slowly forward to the door and was about to knock when he heard a slight sound from the door. The door opened.
Li Ru, with a thin face, stood at the door, and there was a hint of sadness in his usually bright eyes.
Jia Xu saluted.
"Mr. Li, how are you?"
Li Ru said calmly: "The defeated general is just lingering on, and he still says he is doing well."
"Come, come, come in quickly, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
The two men walked into the house, sat down, and Jia Xu drank a cup of tea.
"Mr. Li knows I'm coming?"
"That's right." Li Ru answered confidently without any hesitation. "Uncle Liu is very wise and has a profound mind. He has planned everything without leaving anything out. For a talent like Wen He, he will definitely pay special attention to him. Naturally, there is no reason for him to let you leave Chang'an City."
Jia Xu was impressed. It was exactly as Li Ru said. He disguised himself and thought he could escape from Chang'an City. However, Liu Yu sent Xu Yuanzhi to wait for him at the city gate.
"Mr. Li is right." Jia Xu sighed slightly.
After saying that, he told Li Ru about his journey out of the city.
Li Ru listened calmly, without any surprise.
"What is Wenhe's plan now?"
Jia Xu did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think of the emperor's uncle, Lord Li?"
"He is a young hero with profound wisdom and extraordinary bearing. In my opinion, if the Han Dynasty is to prosper, it will surely be thanks to this man."
Jia Xu did not expect that Li Ru had such a high opinion of Liu Yu. Both of them were very clear about the current state of the Han Dynasty. Although it could not be said to be in name only, it had begun to fall apart.
The various princes began to attack each other and no longer behaved like Han subjects.
They were busy occupying territory and had long forgotten the rules of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Yu could really prosper the Han Dynasty to this extent, this achievement would be comparable to that of Emperor Guangwu.
"Does Li Gong really think that the emperor's uncle can revive the Han Dynasty?"
"It's difficult!" Li Ru sighed slightly, "According to my observation, the emperor's uncle is the only hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty. If he can't complete this task, then the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty will really change hands."
"Mr. Li, the emperor's uncle left you here because he wanted you to submit to him."
"That's right." Li Ru admitted frankly.
"What is Mr. Li's plan now?"
"Wenhe, don't you know me? Ever since the death of the Prime Minister, my heart has died. I will never rely on others again. Now I am dragging my broken body to wait for you to come and tell you something."
"Mr. Li, forgive me for being blunt. Although the Prime Minister has been very kind to you, you have already repaid him for all these years of serving him and giving him advice. If it weren't for Mr. Li, let alone the position of Prime Minister, I'm afraid you would have been just a minor official in Xiliang for the rest of your life."
Jia Xu's words were very impolite, even a little arrogant. He had not been with Dong Zhuo for a long time, and his respect for Dong Zhuo was far less than that of Li Ru.
Li Ru naturally heard the resentment in his words, and he lowered his head in thought.
The past events were still vivid in his mind, making Li Ru feel a little sad.
It took him a long time to calm down.
"Wenhe, ever since the Prime Minister was murdered, I have been thinking all day that if I had not fanned the flames, the Prime Minister might not have held a low position in the end, but he could have lived a stable life. From this perspective, it is also a great blessing in life."
Jia Xu could hear his emotion, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang City from Xiliang. If it weren't for Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo might not have become the prime minister, but Jia Xu thought it was impossible for him to avoid disaster.
Jia Xu knew Dong Zhuo's character very well. He was not a master who was willing to abide by the rules. Even without Li Ru's help, his never-satisfied heart would still be restless. He would not stay in Xiliang willingly and would still try his best to get out of Xiliang.
Jia Xu knew that along the way, Li Ru had helped Dong Zhuo escape disaster and turn danger into safety more than once.
Without Li Ru's help, Dong Zhuo would most likely have died in some conspiracy.
"Wenhe, what are your plans next?"
Jia Xu pondered for a moment.
"I'm not sure yet."
"If you believe in my judgment, Uncle Liu is a wise leader. If I had met him many years ago, perhaps..."
When Li Ru said this, he let out a long sigh. His meaning was very clear. If he had met Liu Yu many years ago, he would have assisted him with all his strength, just like he assisted Dong Zhuo. Unfortunately, fate is a fickle thing, and some things can never be undone.
Jia Xu had no doubt at all about Li Ru's statement.
From the current perspective, he is resourceful and humble, which are necessary qualities for a wise leader.
With the lesson of Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu still had concerns. Dong Zhuo was the same back then. Before he reached the peak of power, he was still receptive to good advice and humble. But after he became prime minister, he was still stubborn and indulged in pleasure.
Jia Xu has a deep understanding of human nature and knows how terrible the poison of power is. When power reaches a certain level, it will exude endless toxicity and constantly devour the lives in front of it.
