Huan Yi and Guo Huai can be said to be Zhao Shu's most loyal subordinates, friends, and brothers, but they are definitely not confidants. Of course, in the eyes of these two people, they will never understand why Zhao Shu is unwilling to take a step towards the peak that everyone desires, even if it is only a small step. Liu Chan is dead, and all the princes under his knees died in that incident, only the whereabouts of the crown prince Liu Xuan are unknown, and it can be said that in the entire Shu Han court, there is no one who has a very legitimate right to inherit the throne. Zhao Shu can completely ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan through the hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, and replace Liu Hanjiangshan, which has lasted for more than 400 years. Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Shu, of course, some people were excited, because the new emperor ascended to the pole, and he would inevitably reward his subordinates; There are also people who are angry and uneasy, such as Huo Yi and Wang Ping, who are still focused on Liu Han; There are even more people who are eyeing the tiger, hoping that Shu Han will be in turmoil so that they can send troops to restore the rivers and mountains, which refers to Cao Zhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Sun Jun of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

On the Wei and Han borders, Cao Zhi had already gathered 100,000 troops, and he said to his henchman Yang Xiu: "After the defeat of Wei Yan, there is no one in the Shu Han army who can be an enemy of Zhao Shu. After returning to Luoyang, Zhao Shu will inevitably steal the throne of the emperor, and there will be a rebellion within the Han Dynasty, and then our army can take advantage of the situation. Originally, when Wei Yan raised troops, Cao Zhi raised troops to attack the Shu Han border, but he didn't expect Wei Yan's rebellion to be quelled so quickly, and Cao Zhi had to hold his troops again and wait for the opportunity.

Similarly, Sun Jun of Eastern Wu was also waiting for the opportunity to avenge the former emperor Sun Quan, so as to restore the honorific title of Sun Liang, the lord of Wu. It's a pity that when Luoyang's information was delivered to the two of them, both of them were surprised that they didn't close their mouths for a long time. Zhao Shu did not change the dynasty as they wished, but supported Liu Bei's third son, Liu Li, the king of Liang, to inherit the emperor's throne.

Liu Bei had three sons, the eldest son Liu Chan died, according to the Shu Han court, it was the traitor Wei Yan who colluded with the general Sima Yi to murder him, in order to achieve the ulterior purpose of these two people, of course, no one to investigate, no one dared to investigate. The second son Liu Yong, due to the death of the former emperor Liu Bei, was stimulated by the transition, became insane, was stripped of the prince, and was relegated to live in Jingzhou. So in the end, as a result of the discussion with the hundred officials, Zhao Shu asked Huan Yi to stay in Luoyang and hurried back to Chengdu to prepare for the establishment of a new emperor.

When Liu Li went out of the city to greet Zhao Shu, he saw Zhao Shu and the others kneeling down to greet him, hurriedly jumped out of the car, and said repeatedly: "General, please get up, general, please get up." Zhao Shu still insisted on getting up after the big salute, and Liu Li saw Zhao Shu kowtowing, and almost knelt down to return the salute, thanks to the guard next to him, he didn't get his wish. Liu Li saw that Zhao Shu was almost more respectful to the emperor than the courtiers, and more afraid than a mouse seeing a cat. Such a performance, not only Zhao Shu was displeased, but even Jiang Wan and Guan Ping behind him also felt cold, will the Han Dynasty be handed over to such a cowardly and timid person? But who else could there be?

Although Liu Li is the confirmed quasi-emperor, he did not officially ascend the throne after all, but was only arranged in the courtyard. The next day, the late emperor Liu Chan was worshipped. On the auspicious day of the zodiac on the third day, the enthronement ceremony was held. After a series of tedious and lengthy procedures, Liu Li went from a little-known and little-respected frustrated prince to the third emperor of the Shu Han Empire. Although he has been saying in Zhao Shu's ear for the past two days, "Little Wang Debo does not dare to inherit the throne of the first emperor", but in the end, he still had no choice but to sit on the throne of the emperor that many people wanted to sit on but couldn't.

Hoping that Zhao Shu would succeed to the throne and become the founder of the country, he was still rewarded by the new emperor, of course, this is what Zhao Shu meant; Those who didn't want Zhao Shu to ascend the throne were even happier to see that the person sitting on the throne was still surnamed Liu, and sincerely worshiped the new emperor. Although the selection of the emperor was not satisfactory, after the cowardly Liu Li was fearfully put on the throne, Zhao Shu finally felt relieved. Back at the General's Mansion, Zhao Shu only felt exhausted, since Lu Rong's death, Zhao Shu's body is not as good as day by day, as if one day is equal to a normal person's year, these days, the double pressure of body and spirit, it really makes him a little unbearable, not only the original black and white hair has become snow-white, but even the skin that was originally full of wrinkles has also appeared age spots, fortunately, everything is almost over.

When the news of Liu Li's proclamation as emperor came out, Sun Jun understood that his plan to take advantage of the civil strife in Shu Han to raise troops had failed, and he knew that his increase in troops on the border would inevitably not escape Shu Han's meticulous work, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and horses, and explained above that he said that Chen soldiers were outside, just in the hope of helping the general stabilize the border and other excuses that he didn't even believe. And Zhao Shu did not pursue it too much, but just scolded the envoy and told him to tell Sun Jun that he must abide by the way of the subordinate state and not have the slightest covetousness. The envoy went back to Soochow with great gratitude, and when he heard that Zhao Shu did not mean to send troops to retaliate, Sun Juncai finally slept peacefully for a few days.

And Cao Zhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty also withdrew his troops in extreme disappointment, although he couldn't understand why Zhao Shu refused to ascend the throne. But he understood that with the current strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was undoubtedly self-defeating to conquer the stable and unified Shu Han.

The news of Wei Wu's withdrawal reached Chengdu, and Zhao Shu used this as an excuse to feast all the generals and officials in the court to celebrate, including Huo Yi and Wang Ping, who had not yet left Chengdu. At first, Huo Yi did not believe that Zhao Shu would abide by the agreement between him and Wang Ping, and was reluctant to go to Chengdu, lest it be a trap. But he couldn't resist Wang Ping's repeated persuasion, and still agreed to rush to Chengdu to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, after all, under the circumstances at that time, Wang Ping and Huo Yi should show deeper sincerity than Zhao Shu. Before going to Chengdu, Huo Yi had even begun to arrange the funeral, and unexpectedly, Zhao Shu really didn't mean to harm everyone. But when Huo Yi wanted to say goodbye and return to Wancheng, Zhao Shu repeatedly refused, which made his heart that had been put down hang again. The reason why Zhao Shu didn't kill them was because he wanted to be under house arrest in Chengdu forever? After receiving Zhao Shu's invitation, Huo Yi even hid a sharp blade in his underwear before coming, thinking that if Zhao Shu had any bad intentions at the banquet, he would fight for his life and die with him.

The banquet was as usual, but Huo Yi didn't dare to take it lightly, he drank a cup of wine all night, and didn't see a drop missing, the chopsticks were raised and put down, but he didn't eat anything. Such a small action did not escape Zhao Shu's eyes, but he just pretended not to see it, and drank with others. A wine banquet lasted for an hour, Huo Yi finally couldn't get used to listening to the singing of merit and virtue, and couldn't get used to seeing the flattering smile in his eyes, and when Wei Yan's old general Chen Shi also raised a wine glass to praise Zhao Shu's miraculous achievements, Huo Yi got up and said loudly: "The wine has also been drunk, and the food has been eaten, but the last general can't see these villains who betray the old master, so he will leave first." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was referring to Chen Shi. Huo Yi's current official position is far above Chen Shi, and Chen Shi is a person on weekdays, and he is not popular among the generals, so it doesn't hurt to scold him a few words. But now Chen Shi is praising Zhao Shu's merits, and Huo Yi's actions will inevitably make everyone present change color. Chen Shi relied on Zhao Shu's prestige, and refused to swallow this breath, and bowed: "General, Huo Yi insulted the last general and didn't care, but he insidious the general, which is really an unforgivable crime." Wang Ping also hurriedly got up and said to Zhao Shu: "General, General Huo lost his words after drinking, please don't blame the general." ”

Although Wang Ping had good intentions, Huo Yi didn't appreciate it, and said loudly: "I'm not drunk, but I'm telling the truth." Then he turned to Zhao Shu and said: "The last general came to the banquet today, or do you want to ask the general, when will the last general return to Wancheng?" As he spoke, he snorted coldly and said, "But now that the last general has offended the general again, I'm afraid there will be no chance to leave Chengdu again." "He looked arrogant, like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Zhao Shu didn't get angry, but slowly stood up and said, "General Ben originally planned to discuss this matter with everyone after the banquet was dismissed. Since General Huo couldn't wait, he had to leave the table in advance. As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly, and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, Wen Yang and Fu Jian all dressed inside, and outside the hall, they were all suddenly full of sergeants with swords in their hands. Huo Yi's face suddenly changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand to reach into his arms, and wanted to rush to Zhao Shu and fight with him. Wang Ping was far calmer than him, and when he saw Huo Yi's movements, he knew that there must be an assassination, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and shouted in a low voice: "Hugh is reckless." ”

Huo Yi was originally willing to come to Chengdu because he believed in Wang Ping, but now he has to wonder if Wang Ping also colluded with Zhao Shu, and said angrily: "Wait a while, I will be divided by a random knife, why is it reckless or not reckless?" He shouted these words loudly, and all the generals in the hall felt a chill welling up, and couldn't help but think: Zhao Shu's letting Liu Li ascend the throne is just a superficial article, and the real intention in the end is to exclude dissidents and usurp the throne.

Guan Ping is also in the hall at the moment, since he joined hands with Zhao Shu again, he has been far more open to the emperor's surname Liu or Zhao, but now he can't help but be angry with Zhao Shu's actions, and asked in a deep voice: "The general invited me to the banquet, but secretly ambushed the sword soldiers, I don't know what the intention is?" ”

"General Guan Shao'an is not impatient." After Zhao Shu replied with a smile, he clapped his hands again, and saw Xiao Ben leading a white horse inside. Everyone didn't understand what the intention was, and they all looked at Zhao Shu in a daze. Zhao Shu shouted loudly again: "Respectfully ask for the holy decree." Then Ye Feng walked out from behind with the holy decree in both hands. Everyone couldn't help whispering, and most of them suspected that this was a Zen edict issued by Zhao Shu to force the emperor.

But Zhao Shu's next words surprised everyone. "This general has been entrusted by Emperor Zhaolie to be alone, and he has done his best, but fortunately, thanks to your great help, the soldiers of the three armies died on the battlefield, so that they were able to recover the two capitals and recover the mountains and rivers. I thought that the revival of the Han family was imminent, but the tragic death of the first emperor caused the people inside and outside the court to fluctuate, and there were even those who suspected the bad intentions of the general. In order to fear disturbing the hearts of the subjects of the world, this general held a banquet today, and has sought His Majesty's holy decree, following the example of Emperor Gao's 'White Horse Oath' in the past, in order to show the world that this general does not have the intention of usurping the throne. And all the princes here also need to swear one by one, if there is a rebellious heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the descendants will be cut off. ”

After Zhao Shu said this, he asked Ye Feng to put the holy decree in the center, bow down to the holy decree, and said: "Zhao Shu, the marquis of Nanchong, the general of the minister, swears to the gods of heaven and earth and the previous emperors: If you have usurpation and self-esteem, conspiracy and rebellion, you will be willing to suffer the punishment of heaven, and the five horses will die in pieces, and your descendants will suffer from generations to generation, and there will be no return." Then he got up and motioned for Xiao Ben to kill the white horse and bleed.

Seeing the bright red horse blood flowing into the big ding, which was filled with fine wine, Zhao Shu glanced at everyone and asked, "Which general is coming next?" Intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at Huan Yi. Zhao Shu did not discuss this matter with Huan Yi, so Huan Yi's surprise at this time was no less than Huo Yi and others. Feeling Zhao Shu's gaze sweeping over his face, Huan Yi sighed silently, and planned to step forward. But Huo Yi took the first step, knelt in front of the holy decree, and said: "General Chen Zhenyuan, Nanyang Taishou Huo Yi swears to the sky: ......" After finishing speaking, he did not get up, but respectfully bowed to Zhao Shu three times, and said: "The last general misheard the rumors, did not know the general's loyalty, and deserved to die, and asked the general for forgiveness." ”

Zhao Shu personally helped him up and said, "The general is loyal to the imperial court, how can I be surprised?" Huo Yi bowed down again, and then Huan Yi, Guan Ping, Jiang Wan, Wang Ping, etc., and even Chen Shi and others all swore an oath one by one, and then drank the blood wine together. This is the covenant that was later called the "White Horse Realliance". This is enough to prove that Zhao Shu has no ambition, and at the same time it also adds an unsolved mystery to future generations.

Zhao Shu guarded his promise to Guan Feng from beginning to end, and did not usurp the Han family. Of course, it is not just such a reason, fundamentally speaking, Zhao Shu does not have the courage needed to be the founding emperor, let alone the ** and ambition to hold the world in his hands. Zhao Shu is just an ordinary college student, even a grade lower than the average, and this essence has not changed for many years. A man in a peaceful era, once he returns to ancient times, is full of only killing, women, and power, and that can only be said to be the failure of education and the defects of his personal personality. Although Zhao Shu is not a good person, he is a normal person and does not have that deep perverted psychology. To be able to get to this point, it has to be said that Zhao Shu has more and better luck than others, but he has also lost more. Guan Feng and Lu Rong, if there was no war, what a beautiful fairy tale it would be, but now Zhao Shu can only hang on to each other, gloomy and sad.

Even Ye Feng can't be cured of the rapid aging disease, and Zhao Shu's body has become weaker and weaker these days, and he often has sudden angina. Maybe his limit is approaching, so why let Ye Feng force himself to find a way to treat. Zhao Shu, who returned to the room, suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone." Xiao Benda stepped inside, hugged his fists and said, "What does the general command?" Zhao Shu said: "Go, call Tianya." ”

Soon Ye Feng came to Zhao Shu and asked, "General, is your heart cramping again?" In his tone, there was not only worry, but also a trace of panic that was difficult to hide. It's a pity that Zhao Shu didn't notice it, and just said what he thought in his heart one by one. From his first sentence, Ye Feng was stunned like a fool and didn't say a word, and finally shook his head and said, "General, if you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to find a way to treat you." ”

Seeing that Zhao Shu wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Feng sighed and said, "The general has really decided?" Zhao Shu nodded, "Do you have any other way?" Although Ye Feng was unwilling to accept this reality, he still shook his head. The next day, Liu Li said that the Northern Wei Dynasty was defeated, and the Eastern Wu ministers said that it was a good time to send troops north to exterminate the Wei clan, so they prepared to leave for Luoyang tomorrow to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Liu Li issued an edict, saying that the general Zhao Shu Guangfu Liangjing worked hard and made great achievements, gave Zhao Shu food and 10,000 households, and his son Zhao Jiang worshiped the captain, gave the marquis of Guannei, and posthumously praised his deceased wife Guan Feng as Mrs. Anguo, and Lu Rong as Mrs. Dingguo, and allowed him to play.

On the third day after the "White Horse Realliance", Zhao Shu once again invited Huan Yi, Jiang Wan, Guan Ping, Wang Ping, Huo Yi and other civil and military ministers to the General's Mansion. But this time, Zhao Shu was already terminally ill, leaning on the collapse weakly, his breath was weak, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to speak. Everyone present didn't expect that just after the covenant, Zhao Shu would be terminally ill, and it was menacing, and even a miracle doctor like Ye Feng was helpless.

Huan Yi was still standing closest to Zhao Shu, listening to Zhao Shu intermittently explain the aftermath: "After my death, Huan Yi will be the general of Zhenbei to lead Luoyang, the military and political affairs of Chang'an and Beijing, Jiang Gongyan will be the general to open the mansion and govern affairs, and Fei Yi will be the secretary of Shangshu to assist Your Majesty." The generals can quickly return to the place where they are defending, guard the territory, and prevent Wei and Wu from taking the opportunity to invade. Although the strength of the imperial court is on par with that of the two countries, you must remember that the disaster of the country has always been caused by it. As long as the princes cooperate sincerely and focus on national affairs, they will be able to become the ministers of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty and will be remembered for eternity. If you don't listen to my dying heart and mislead the state affairs with selfishness, you will be left with a stench for 10,000 years, and your descendants will be disgraced. May you be cautious and abstain from it. ”

Huan Yi understood that most of Zhao Shu's words were said to him, so Zhao Shu transferred him to the front line, first, most of the generals in Luoyang and other places on the front line were Zhao Shu's old department, and no one could command him except Huan Yi after Zhao Shu, and secondly, he should always guard against the Northern Wei Dynasty and have no spare energy to think about other things, so as to stop Huan Yi from changing the dynasty and becoming the founder of the country. Then he fell to the ground and wept: "The last general and others remember the general's orders. Zhao Shu nodded weakly, and after a while, Zhao Shu said a few words in his mouth, "When you meet the soil, you will die, when you meet the soil, you will die..."

In 231 AD, this general, who should not have belonged to the Three Kingdoms, but was in power in Shu Han for more than ten years, finally died of illness in the Chengdu General's Mansion at the age of 43.

The day after Zhao Shu's death, Ye Feng and Zhao Shu's son Zhao Jiang also mysteriously disappeared.

In May 2016, at the National Archaeological Research Center, a young archaeological worker was facing a middle-aged man about 50 years old and said: "The director of the Hunan Provincial Institute of Archaeology reported that a villager in a village in Taoyuan County found a historical record of the Three Kingdoms period when he was building a house and digging the foundation, and the history recorded in it is different from the history of the Three Kingdoms that we know. "An untold history, a short dynasty whose history is not recorded is about to be born, the end and the beginning.
