Although Zhao Shu didn't know that person, he knew that when Cao Cao was king, it was Cui Yan who spoke out against it. Sure enough, I heard Cao Cao say: "What Cui Shangshu said is extremely true. I am already a minister and a minister, and I do not need to be promoted to the throne again. He raised his glass again and said, "We will not talk about state affairs at today's banquet, and you will enjoy the wine and talk to your heart's content." The trace of displeasure on Shicai's face turned into nothing as the glass of wine went down. Zhao Shu knew that Cui Yan was destined to die, but it was none of his business, and he didn't need to think about it, so he dispersed with everyone's fun.

The next day, Cao Cao played Zhao Shu as a servant, and finally gave him a more formal official position. Zhao Shu also met Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had been a puppet for decades, for the first time, and remembered that when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was more calm than the young emperor, with decent speech, and when he was young, he was smart. It's a pity that after being a puppet for so many years, Liu Xie is already trembling, cautious, and has to look at Cao Cao's face every time he says a word, completely lacking the prestige that an emperor should have.

In a few days, the news of Cui Yan's death reached Zhao Shu's ears, which was inevitable. No one could stop Cao Cao from becoming king, so soon after, hundreds of officials in the court and the central government went to the table to offer the emperor together, saying that Cao Cao's merits were ancient and modern, and he should definitely be promoted to the king of Wei. Zhao Shu also wrote his name on that table, he would not touch Cao Cao's mold for these meaningless things, or things that could not be changed.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was named the king of Wei, with Cao Pi as the son, and all officials were rewarded. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shu had been in Xudu for nearly half a year. In the past six months, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan have all developed their own internal developments, and there have been no major military moves. And Cao Cao gradually relaxed his vigilance against Zhao Shu, although Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders still stayed in the mansion, they no longer restricted Zhao Shu's movements.

As for Xu Shu, Zhao Shu has never had the opportunity to meet him in private, after all, both of them surrendered under Liu Bei, but for fear that Cao Cao would be suspicious, there was no news of Huang Zhong and Xichuan coming. Cao Cao's three most famous sons, except for the "Yellow Beard" Cao Zhangzhen guarding in the north, the other Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Zhao Shu have already seen it, but they know that the matter of seizing the heir will not stop because they have sealed the prince, so they do not dare to have a deep friendship with the two.

Zhao Shu has an official position, although he doesn't have much official affairs to deal with, he has to go to Cao Cao's mansion from time to time to report. On weekdays, Lijia treats him very kindly, and intentionally or unintentionally, he often has words of persuasion. Although Zhao Shu respects his reputation, he is not very willing to intersect in his heart, and the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms are mostly stirred up in his mouth.

On this day, Zhao Shu went to the palace of King Wei again, but saw Cao Cao, and Jia Xu was talking and laughing with another old man. Xuchang but a famous official and scholar, Zhao Shu almost all have a few fates, but the person in front of him doesn't know him, and he doesn't know how to greet him. Cao Cao also knew what he meant, and pointed to the old man and said, "Jingwei has ever heard of the plain gods?" ”

Zhao Shu naturally heard it, but he didn't want to meet here, and said that this person's fortune calculation was all effective, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Although Guan Lu is famous, he looks very unbearable, his face is wrinkled, and he thinks about the old bark of many years, and he is also squinting at Zhao Shu with a pair of small eyes. Of course, Zhao Shu didn't believe these warlocks, and when he saw that they didn't look good, he didn't like them a little at first, and he still saluted and said: "I have heard the name of my husband for a long time, and I can see it today, which is the luck of Shu Sansheng." ”

The steward will also return the salute respectfully: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. Cao Cao was surprised and asked, "Why does Mr. Guan attach so much importance to Jingwei?" Guan replied: "A certain person has never seen Mr. Zhao's appearance in his life." Cao Cao's eyes suddenly showed displeasure, and then he asked, "I don't know what it looks like?" Guan Lu glanced at Zhao Shu a few more times and said, "The famous minister of the auxiliary saint." ”

The boulder fell in Cao Cao's heart, and then he smiled and said, "How can Mr. be lonely?" The manager didn't need to look at it much, so he replied casually: "If you are a minister, why bother to meet again?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then asked, "What about the descendants?" Guan Zhi smiled: "Extremely rich." ”

The word "extreme" also made Cao Cao feel a little pleased, but Jue Guan refused to say everything, and asked: "How is the world going?" Guan Zhi immediately ordered someone to take the pen and ink, and wrote with a pen: "Thirty-eight vertical and horizontal, yellow pig meets tiger; In the south of the army, one was wounded. Cao Cao repeatedly asked what he meant, but he refused to say anything on the excuse that he couldn't premature ejaculation for days.

Jia Xu saw that Cao Cao was slightly displeased, afraid of his seizure, and asked, "Wu, how are the two places in Shu?" Guan Yu replied: "The lord of Eastern Wu has died a general, and there are soldiers in Western Shu." As soon as the words fell, I saw Xu Chu enter and handed Cao Cao a letter, saying that it was an urgent report from Zhang Liao in Runan. Cao Cao opened it and took a closer look, his face became more and more surprised, and after reading it, he not only sighed: "Mr. is really a god, Wen Yuan wrote in his letter that Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, died of illness, and Sun Quan was temporarily replaced by Lu Meng. Then he immediately instructed Xu Chu: "You can quickly order someone to go to Hanzhong to inquire about the news of the Shu army." ”

Although Zhao Shu doesn't believe in fortune telling, he can't help but be shocked by such a coincidence, but there are many things in this world that can't be explained by science, just like being able to return to the Three Kingdoms, it's not a personal experience, who can believe it? Cao Cao saw that Guan Chen's words came true, so he asked again: "Has there been a disaster in Lone recently?" ”

Guan Qi closed his eyes for a moment before replying: "Soon Xu Du is afraid of a fire." Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly said to the attendants next to him: "Go to General Xiahou's Mansion quickly, and order Yuan to let lead the tiger and leopard to ride to and from Xudu to patrol the police." After thinking for a moment, he said: "In the coming day, I will send Zilian to lead 50,000 troops to Hanzhong to respond to Miaocai." "Many distributions have been decided, and divination must be performed again.

The manager had already gotten up and said, "I can't drink enough, I'm already drunk, please leave first." Cao Cao tried his best to keep him to rest in the mansion, but the manager repeatedly refused, so he had to order someone to send him to the pavilion to rest. Zhao Shu and Jia Xu also got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Shu returned to the mansion, still thinking about such a strange person as Guan Qi, and occasionally wanted to visit him another day, and then let him calculate his future, although he didn't believe it very much, but there was an indescribable expectation, hoping that he could seriously tell himself how to go in the future.

Guan Lu was really clever, and he could actually anticipate Zhao Shu's thoughts, so he didn't need him to visit, but he went to the house to ask for a meeting first. When Zhao Shu heard from Rong'er that "an old gentleman who claimed to be surnamed Guan" asked to see him, he almost didn't jump up, but then he thought that the house was full of Cao Cao's eyeliner, and if he knew that Guan Lu didn't want to drink in the palace and see him in private, he was afraid that it would be a big disadvantage.
