After Cao Cao requested the emperor's edict as he wished, he immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an to deliver the edict to Wang Kai.

Let’s talk about Wang Kai.

As the influence of the Recruitment Order spread, many talented people and strangers began to rush to Chang'an to seek official positions.

After Dong Zhuo's former subordinate Li Ru, who had retired to seclusion, learned about Wang Kai's order to recruit talents, his dead heart came back to life, because he was actually very unwilling. Dong Zhuo could have wiped out the world in one fell swoop according to his plan, but he didn't.

Thinking that his plans had failed because of Lu Bu's betrayal, this was like a bolt from the blue for him who pursued fame. Later, he relied on Li Jue to make a comeback, but Li Jue was a short-sighted person, so he finally

He retreated to the mountains and forests, but as soon as Wang Kai's recruitment order came out, he realized that Wang Kai was the wise master who could bring peace to the world.

Soon, Li Ru disguised himself and came to Chang'an.

At this time, because Wang Kai changed his recruitment strategy, Li Ru directly tore up the recruitment order and went to the recruitment center set up by Wang Kai to apply for a job.

After Li Ru passed the test at the Talent Recruitment Center, he finally got the opportunity to meet Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai learned that the first qualified talent had appeared in the recruitment hall, he immediately met with Li Ru in the palace hall.

When Li Ru saw Wang Kai, he immediately saluted and said: "Li You, a common man, pays homage to Mr. Wang!"

When Wang Kai heard Li You's name, he immediately thought to himself: 'I have never heard of this Li You. Could it be that he is a talent that was buried during the Three Kingdoms period?'

Immediately afterwards, Wang Kai replied: "No gift! Since you passed the test of the Talent Recruitment Center, it means that you are quite capable. I will now give you a question to test you. If your answer satisfies me,

, I can directly promote you."

"Sir, please give me a question!"

"Okay, just listen to the question."

"Now that troubled times have arrived, tell me how can I make the people live and work in peace and contentment in these troubled times?"

After hearing this, Li Ru immediately replied: "Sir, if you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment in troubled times, the best choice is to end the troubled times as soon as possible."

After hearing Li Ru's answer, Wang Kai nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Li Ru added: "My lord, are you still satisfied with my answer?"

"Your opinions are very much in line with my wishes, so I will make you my master and serve me at my side."

Upon hearing this, Li Ru quickly said: "Sir, wait a minute!"

"What? You think the official position is too small?"

"No! I have something else to tell you."

"Oh? Tell me."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Li Ru finally replied: "Sir, the common people are the instigators of the murder of the young emperor Liu Bian."

Hearing what Li Ru said, Wang Kai was shocked and said: "Are you Li Ru?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing that Li Ru confirmed his identity, Wang Kai said with some confusion: "Why do you dare to enter the recruitment hall since you are Li Ru? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to claim credit from the emperor?"

"My Lord would not act like this!"

"Oh? Why do you dare to be so sure?"

"The common people have seen from your recruitment order that you have great ambitions. If you really want to end the troubled times and restore peace to the people, then you will definitely not kill me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai suddenly burst out laughing, because what Li Ru said was indeed correct.

After Wang Kai smiled, he immediately asked: "Li Ru, I asked myself that the ambition was not stated clearly in the recruitment order. How did you infer it?"

"My lord, your recruitment order is indeed flawless in isolation, but when your lord just asked me how to make the people live and work in peace and contentment in troubled times, ordinary people boldly guessed that your lord must have the world in mind."

After hearing this, Wang Kai continued: "You are right, I do have the world in mind, but how can you guarantee that I will not kill you?"

After saying that, Wang Kai suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Where is Jingde?"

After Yuchi Gong, who was guarding outside the house, received the order, he immediately led his guards into the hall.

Seeing Yuchi Gong leading his troops into the palace, Wang Kai immediately said: "Get this person for me!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Gong immediately walked towards Li Ru.

Li Ru was not afraid at all when he saw this, because he was confident.

When Wang Kai saw that Li Ru showed no sign of fear, he became a little curious, because Li Ru's behavior was really unreasonable.

When Yuchi Gong walked up to Li Ru and was about to take action, Wang Kai said again: "Jingde, stop it!"

Yu Chigong stopped immediately after hearing Wang Kai's voice.

At this time, Wang Kai said again: "Jingde, please step aside first! I want to talk to this person alone."

After Yuchi Gong received the order, he immediately left the hall with his guards.

When only Li Ru and Wang Kai were left in the hall, Wang Kai immediately said to Li Ru: "Li Ru, why were you not afraid at all just now?"

"I know you won't really kill me. After all, your target is the whole world."

When he heard this, Wang Kai replied: "Li Ru, I'm a little curious now about why you came to join me. Do you know that Dong Zhuo and I have a grudge to kill our master? Don't you know that I turned him over to Li Jue?"

Is it only the leader who is appointed and dismissed by Liangzhou Mu?"

"Since you are curious, the common people should tell you the truth!"

Immediately, Li Ru began to talk about his past. It turned out that Li Ru was also a passionate young man. He joined the court with the intention of serving the country and prepared to show off his talents. However, at that time, the Shi Chang Shi was in power, and his passion finally turned into nothing.

.

When Li Ru saw how corrupt the government was, he immediately made up his mind to work with like-minded people to help the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, because of the power of the Shichang Shi, his efforts collapsed in an instant. Due to this, he was demoted to Liangzhou.

In Liangzhou, Li Ru met Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang warlord who had the same ambition as him.

From then on, Li Ru was impressed by Dong Zhuo and became his chief adviser.

Under Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo's strength increased visibly. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo was obsessed with power, and his behavior gradually deviated from the set goals. Disappointed, Li Ru planned to leave Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo noticed Li Ru's

After leaving Yi, she immediately tied him up with her own daughter.

After Li Ru fell in love with Dong Zhuo's daughter, he could never leave her. He stayed with Dong Zhuo until he killed the young emperor Liu Bian on Dong Zhuo's order. There was basically no turning back in his life.

But things are unpredictable. Lu Bu suddenly rebelled and murdered Dong Zhuo, giving Li Ru a chance to start a new life. Unfortunately, except for the rest of Xiliang who dared to use Li Ru, the other princes were unwilling to accept such a person with major stains.

In this way, Li Ru followed Li Jue to fight everywhere, but in the end Li Jue was defeated by Cao Cao.

Li Ru was so disheartened that he planned to escape into the mountains and live his whole life bearing the infamy.

But when Wang Kai's recruitment order was issued, Li Ru finally found an opportunity to clear his name. After all, troubled times are a world of success and failure.

After listening to what Li Ru said, Wang Kai finally understood why Li Ru was willing to risk being killed to defect to him.

Immediately, Wang Kai said to Li Ru: "Li Ru, I didn't expect you to have such a past."

"Sir, ordinary people don't dare to ask you to use me again. I only ask that you can give me a chance to clear my name. I, Li Ru, am not a person without a king, a father, and no benevolence or righteousness."
