Dong Zhuo's expression was cold, and he shouted: "Drag it, cut it off!"

Wang Lei held his position high and refused to give in. He said righteously: "Xiangguo is in charge of a country, and his status is noble. He is under one person and above ten thousand people. One word can kill, and one word can save people. If Xiangguo wants to kill, there must be someone who kills." Therefore, please give me a reasonable reason, otherwise, Mr. Zhang will not die with peace, and the officials of the DPRK and China will not be convinced."

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "Do things the truth, do I need to explain to you?"

Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said: "The prime minister has a noble status, and there is no need to explain it to a humble official. However, if the prime minister governs a country, in order to convince the officials and the people of the world, there must be a reasonable reason. Not to explain to me, but to The subjects of the world explain."

Dong Zhuo said: "The truth is the reason for killing people. Don't all the people in the world think that the truth is cruel?"

Wang Lei said: "The Xiangguo governs the world, and he must convince people with virtue."

"Hahaha...absurd, ridiculous, really ridiculous." Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "Virtue? Truth never thinks he has virtue. On the contrary, people like Zhang Wen boast that they have outstanding virtues, but they don't help The truth dealt with the state affairs, but against the truth everywhere, which led to the failure to handle the state affairs well, and caused the truth and His Majesty to be at odds with each other. Do you think Zhang Wen still has virtue? In my opinion, he has no virtue and should be killed!"

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Zhang Wen is guilty and should be punished. However, the crime does not entail death."

Dong Zhuo snorted, and said, "Zhang Wen is guilty, and the crime does not warrant death. What about you? Are you guilty?"

In a word, Wang Lei knew that the real drama was coming.

Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and finally escaped.Dong Zhuo's real goal is not Zhang Wen, but Wang Lei is Dong Zhuo's ultimate goal.Wang Lei looked calm, with a puzzled expression, and said: "Xiangguo, I don't know what crime is in a lowly position?"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "You went to Mount Li and wrote "Ode to the Epic", did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Wang Lei said: "Humble job has indeed written an epic poem!"

Dong Zhuo changed the subject and said, "Since you know that you wrote a poem, what excuse do you have?"

Wang Lei looked serious, with a look of incomprehension, and said, "Why did you commit a crime when you wrote a poem for a humble person?" Facing Dong Zhuo's aggressiveness, Wang Lei looked calm and did not panic.

Dong Zhuo became even more angry, and scolded: "The dead duck has a hard mouth, do you really think that the old man dare not kill you?"

"Come on!"

Dong Zhuo flicked his sleeves, and two soldiers from outside the hall walked in.

"Drag it down, cut it off!"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes coldly, his expression became as cold as ice.

Cai Yong planned to come out to help, but Wang Yun signaled with his eyes, Cai Yong didn't understand, but he didn't act rashly.The same is true for Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others, and their plans to intercede for Wang Lei were all dismissed.Standing up to intercede for Wang Lei when Dong Zhuo was furious, not only would he not help Wang Lei, but would actually harm Wang Lei.

"Xiangguo, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a loud voice came out.

It was none other than Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lu Bu who spoke.

In the old days, Wang Lei and Lu Bu drank together, and the two talked happily. Seeing that Wang Lei was about to be killed, Lu Bu stepped forward.Lu Bu was neither humble nor overbearing, clasped his fists and said, "Xiangguo, after all, Wang Lei is the state shepherd of a state. If he is killed at will, he will definitely not be convinced. Why don't you let him explain. If he can't explain clearly, Xiangguo can kill him. The subjects of the world will be convinced."

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the truth will give him a chance."

The soldiers stopped, and Dong Zhuo asked, "Wang Lei, what do you want to say?"

Wang Lei turned to face Dong Zhuo, and said calmly, "Xiangguo, I still don't regret writing this poem about the history. During the battle at Hulaoguan, the position of the humble officer was opposed to that of Xiangguo, and he only wanted to defeat him. Xiangguo. However, Xiangguo is powerful, coupled with Yuan Shao's sudden withdrawal and attack on Jizhou, which led to the collapse of the allied forces."

"If Yuan Shao stayed in the allied army and joined forces with all the princes to attack Xiangguo, the result might be different."

"That was the situation at the time, and I wasn't wrong to say that."

Wang Lei continued: "Nowadays, a humble official works for Xiangguo. Although his position has changed, what happened in the past cannot be denied. It is a fact that happened. Is there anything you can't say about the past? Can you tolerate the humble person who once opposed Xiangguo, and the person who killed Xiangguo's general? Don't you even dare to face what happened? If so, the inferior can only say that his eyes Blind, looking for the wrong object to invest in."

"Bold!"

Dong Zhuo slapped the desk, his voice made the court officials tremble.

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "It's not that I am bold, I just stated a fact. After I entered Chang'an, what I saw was a Xiangguo with a broad mind, not a Xiangguo who can't even tolerate a little words and poems."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his anger gradually disappeared.

Wang Lei's words were straightforward, but Dong Zhuo felt very comfortable hearing them.For a while, the anger on Dong Zhuo's face did not dissipate, but he forgave Wang Lei in his heart.

At this time, Wang Lei said: "Xiangguo, here is my humble position, if you want to kill, kill."

"Xiangguo, Wang Lei is sophistry."

A cold voice came out, and Li Ru stood up to refute.

Before, because of Wang Lei's matter, Dong Zhuo grounded Li Ru and prevented Li Ru from going out.This time all the officials were called together, and Dong Zhuo also notified Li Ru and asked Li Ru to participate.When Wang Lei opened his mouth to argue, Li Ru knew something was wrong.

With just a few words from this guy, Xiangguo will be fooled into changing his mind.

Wang Lei must be killed, this is a scourge.

Li Ru clasped his fists and said, "Xiangguo, Wang Lei is sophistry, please listen to the words of the humble official."

"Say!"

Dong Zhuo did not order Wang Lei to be killed, but he did not forgive Wang Lei and let Li Ru speak.

Li Ru's eyes fell on Wang Lei, and he said: "Xiangguo, Wang Lei said that his position before and after he took office is different. Yes, this is correct, and I also agree with it very much. Before taking office, Wang Lei always wanted to capture Luoyang and Chang'an. , wanting to wipe out the Xiliang Army completely, this is what he should do."

"After taking office, it is right for Wang Lei to be loyal to Xiangguo."

"However, Wang Lei hid a lot of things and didn't say anything."

"Wang Lei is loyal to Xiangguo now, but he still remembers the situation at Hulao Pass. Is it appropriate? Or, Wang Lei actually wants to overthrow Xiangguo. Should a person who is loyal to Xiangguo still think about the past? In my opinion, he should completely forget about Hulao. All the things that are in prison, you should serve Xiangguo wholeheartedly."

Li Ru's tone was cold, and he looked like he was choosing someone to devour, and said: "Wang Lei, on the surface you are finally Xiangguo, but secretly you want to betray Xiangguo. You can't hide this from me."

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo again, and said, "Xiangguo, please kill Wang Lei."
