Chapter 020-11 옥대속에 숨긴 황제의 밀서

24.承無言可答。騰拂袖便起，嗟歎下階曰：「皆非救國之人也！」承感其言，挽留之，問曰：「公謂何人非救國之人？」騰曰：「許田射獵之事，吾尚氣滿胸膛；公乃國之至戚，猶自滯於酒色，而不思討賊，安得為皇家救難扶災之人乎！」承恐其詐，佯驚曰：「曹丞相乃國之大臣，朝廷所倚賴，公何出此言？」騰大怒曰：「汝尚以曹賊為好人耶？」承曰：「耳目甚近，請公低聲。」騰曰：「貪生怕死之徒，不足以論大事！」說罷，又欲起身。承知騰忠義，乃曰：「公且息怒。某請公看一物。」遂邀騰入書院，取詔示之。

25.騰讀畢，毛髮倒豎，咬齒嚼脣，滿口流血。謂承曰：「公若有舉動，吾即統西涼兵為外應。」承請騰與諸公相見，取出義狀，教騰書名。騰乃取酒歃血為盟曰：「吾等誓死不負所約！」指坐上五人言曰：「若得十人，大事諧矣。」承曰：「忠義之士，不可多得。若所與非人，則反相害矣。」騰教取鴛行鷺序薄來檢看。檢到劉氏宗族，乃拍手言曰：「何不共此人商議？」眾皆問何人。馬騰不慌不忙，說出那人來。正是：

本因國舅承明詔，又見宗潢佐漢朝。

        [三國誌詩020-p01]

畢竟馬騰之言如何，且聽下文分解。
 
 His host could say no more and was silent. The visitor shook out his sleeves and rose to depart.

 He sighed deeply as he walked down the steps, saying to himself, "Not one of them is any good. There is no one to save the country."

 This speech sank deeply into Dong Cheng's heart. He stopped his guest, saying, "Who is no good to save the country? Whom do you mean?"

 "That incident at the hunt the other day, the shooting of the stag, filled my breast with anger. But if you, a near relative of the Emperor, can pass your time in wine and idle dalliance without a thought of doing away with rebellion, where can anyone be found who will save the dynasty?"

 However, Dong Cheng doubts were not set at rest. Pretending great surprise, he replied, "The Prime Minister is of high rank and has the confidence of the court. Why then do you utter such things?"

 "So you find that wretch Cao Cao a good man, eh?"

 "Pray speak lower: There are eyes and ears very near us."

 "The sort of people who covet life and fear death are not those to discuss any great undertaking."

 So saying, Ma Teng rose to go sway. By this time his host's doubts were set at rest. He felt that Ma Teng was loyal.

 So Dong Cheng said, "Do not be angry any more. I will show you something."

 Whereupon he invited Ma Teng to go into the room where the others were seated and then showed him the decree.

 As Ma Teng read it, his hair stood on end; he ground his teeth and bit his lips till the blood came.

 "When you move, remember the whole force of my army is ready to help," said Ma Teng.

 Dong Cheng introduced him to the other conspirators, and then the pledge was produced, and Ma Teng was told to sign his name. He did so, at the same time smearing the blood as a sign of the oath and saying, "I swear to die rather than betray this pledge!"

 Pointing to the five he said, "We require ten for this business, and we can accomplish our design."

 "We cannot get many true and loyal people. One of the wrong sort will spoil all," said Dong Cheng.

 Ma Teng told them to bring in the list of officials. He read on till he came to the name Liu, of the imperial clan, when clapping his hands he cried, "Why not consult him?"

 "Whom?" cried they altogether.

 Ma Teng very slowly and deliberately spoke his name.

  To a very trusty servant comes an Emperor's decree, 
And a scion of the ruling house can prove his loyalty.

 If the readers turns to the next chapter, they will see whom Ma Teng talked about.
