Liu Qi's words made Ma Rixi's whole back feel chilly, and he broke out in cold sweat.

In this era, many scholars are not afraid of death. For many scholars, it is a good story to resist tyrants, sacrifice one's life for justice, and die to protect the principles of loyalty, filial piety, and sages. It can be passed down to future generations.

This was also the time when the Party was imprisoned. Although they knew that becoming a Party member would end badly, many scholars still flocked to it. Many people even felt regretful that they were not Party members and did not receive imprisonment from the imperial court. This was probably because they were not Party members.

This principle.

It’s mean but it comes from the heart.

To be honest, Ma Rixi was a little afraid of death, but despite the fear, at least there was another side of his heart that was supporting him.

That is, he was killed after turning against the tyrant in order to safeguard the inherent system of the Han Dynasty and the world of scholars. It can be regarded as an honor even though he was defeated.

But in Liu Qi's conversation with him just now, it was obvious that he wanted to take things in another direction.

That is, they are all traitors who want to subvert the country and the country, and their crimes are extremely heinous.

Ma Rixi threw the silk piece of silk to the ground and said angrily: "There will always be justice in the world. I don't believe that Your Majesty can handle it single-handedly. There will always be people who will tell the truth and there will always be people who will plead the grievances for me and others!"

Liu Qi felt more confident when he saw Ma Rixi turning his back, but still calling himself 'Your Majesty'.

This old guy is pure lust and lust.

In history, Ma Rixi was sent to Yuan Shu as an envoy, but Yuan Shu took away his talisman and appointed him as a military advisor. He did many "good things" in his name. However, although Ma Rixi was worried and angry, he could not resist Yuan Shu and did not have enough courage.

He committed suicide in observance of the law and ended up with a gloomy end.

From this, we can see Ma Rixi’s character.

He doesn't have the confidence to be a hero or the courage to break through the cauldron.

Hidden deep in his character is hesitation, fear and anxiety, and hesitation.

"Uncle Weng, don't be impatient or angry. Drink first to calm down the shock."

Liu Qi reached out and pushed another wine cup in front of Ma Rixi.

But Ma Rixi waved his hand without hesitation and threw the wine cup to the ground.

"Be bold!"

Dian Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and he became so angry that he went up to clean up Ma Rixi.

When Dian Wei drank, Ma Rixi trembled all over, his liver and gallbladder burst with fright, and his head was buzzing from the shock.

Not to mention him, even the Jing Wu soldiers guarding the prison door were frightened by Dian Wei's voice.

"No rudeness."

Liu Qi slowly said to Dian Wei: "Who is Mr. Ma? How can you yell like this?"

Dian Wei snorted heavily and stared hard at Ma Rixi, but still followed Liu Qi's words and stepped back.

If he had said hello just now, Ma Rixi might have died.

Ma Rixi suppressed the fear in his heart and said to Liu Qi: "I believe that there is justice and justice in this world, and future generations will definitely avenge what we have done today!"

Liu Qi laughed loudly: "Yes, there is justice and justice in this world, but it may not necessarily fall on you."

Liu Qi leaned forward and said, "What I believe even more is that man can conquer nature!"

Ma Rixi broke into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Ma, I am not bragging about it, but I control the public opinion. From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, to the violent Qin and Han Dynasties, no emperor has been able to play more smoothly than me. For so many years... I want to form an alliance to protect the monarch, then I will

If I can form an alliance to protect the king, I want the ancient scholars to be prominent in Jingzhou, so I can let them be prominent in Jingzhou. If I want to support King Chen as the prince, then I can support King Chen as the prince. I want to make Yuan Shao famous.

If he is in disgrace, then I will make him a rebel..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi leaned forward and looked at him with a half-smile: "Am I going to make you an exception?"

After saying that, he reached out and patted the large pile of silk in front of Ma Rixi.

The movement was very gentle, but in the eyes of the other party, it was as heavy as a stone.

Ma Rixi's expression was completely unbearable, and he finally showed a painful expression.

"Ma Gong, thousands of years from now, there may be historians who will vindicate you, saying that you really did not want to overthrow the Han Dynasty, nor were you an accomplice of Yuan Shao's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, but I can make a bet with you, a thousand years from now,

All those who hold this view are relying on unofficial history! It is not enough to become an orthodox statement... I guarantee with my life that in the official history, you people are rebellious thieves and despicable villains for generations.

No one can stand up!! Do you believe it or not?"

Ma Rixi's spirit completely collapsed.

The only belief that could support him in not being afraid of Liu Qi finally collapsed.

"You, you...you are so cruel."

Liu Qi showed a smile and said: "Okay, everything has been said and everything has been done. Now it's time to get down to business... Someone, bring the things up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Wushu entered the cell carrying a tray.

In the tray, there was a wine prince and a white silk ribbon.

"Mr. Ma, after much thought, I think I'd better give you some dignity... After all, your ancestor is a master of Confucian classics. I was once a Confucian scholar in the past, so I regard it as respecting the sages... It is better to commit suicide in public than to commit suicide."

Come with dignity."

After saying that, Liu Qi pointed at the two things on the tray and said:

"bane!"

"Bai Ling!"

"You choose one yourself?"

Ma Rixi stared blankly at the two fatal objects on the table, then suddenly stood up.

He kept shaking his head like a rattle.

"No! I won't die! I won't die! If I die, our Ma family will be finished. We won't be able to recover for thousands of years. Then I will become a sinner for the ages! I can't die!"

"Why do you think so much?" Liu Qi shook his head and advised: "When a person dies, he knows nothing. If he is a sinner or not, isn't that just a mouthful for future generations? Let's talk about it after dinner.

That’s it, you’re already dead and you’re still afraid of people telling you?”

"I'm really afraid of what people say!" Ma Rixi's state was obviously a little crazy: "I won't die! I won't die!"

"You said this person..." Liu Qi pointed his finger at Ma Rixi angrily, then turned to look at Dian Wei: "How come he has no backbone at all?"

Dian Wei chuckled.

"You are indeed spineless... Your Majesty, would you like me to help Magong?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "That won't work. Ma Gong is a descendant of the Confucian scholars, and his ancestor is a famous teacher in the world. He is a role model for our generation. How can we wantonly insult him?"

Speaking of this, Liu Qi stood up slowly and said to the shocked Ma Rixi: "Ma Gong, I respect you and give you this way, but I will go on an expedition in the next day, and I still need to be on the front line in person. I don't have it."

Time keeps running out with you... I'll give you an hour to figure it out, and kill yourself if you can't figure it out... After that hour, I can only let Dian Wei personally send you on your way. I hope you can understand me.

Difficulties."

After saying that, Liu Qi shouted out the cell door: "Here comes... Lixiang."

Outside the fence, the Jing soldiers brought a table, placed a cauldron on it, and placed incense in the cauldron.

This fragrance lasts about a quarter of an hour.

Liu Qi stretched out his thumb and index finger and made an "eight" gesture.

"Eight sticks of incense. After eight sticks of incense, I sent someone to collect the body. Mr. Ma... took leave."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned around and walked out of the prison.

Ma Rixi stood in the cell stupidly, looking at the incense that started to burn outside the door, and kept mumbling:
Chapter completed!
