Chapter 485: Your Majesty, Good Luck! [Subscribe]

Zhang Liao was from Mayi, Yanmen, a descendant of Nie Yi. He was the initiator of the Mayi Conspiracy during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Liao was young, he was an official in Yanmen County. In the fifth year of Zhongping, when he was 19 years old, he was known for his bravery and was summoned by Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, to serve as an official. After he went to Luoyang, he met Cao Cao, and thirteen years had passed in a flash.

Zhang Liao is about to turn thirty-five.

He crossed that threshold when he killed Tuoba Jiefen.

But it was not until he returned to Yecheng, the place of national destiny, and practiced for many days that he was able to communicate with the national destiny through his martial arts, and his power soared.

A quiet room in the mansion.

Zhang Liao's face was solemn, his eyes were slightly closed, and behind him appeared the shadow of a halberd transformed from a military weapon, with the sharp edge pointing straight into the sky.

As his breath emanated, a purple halo rushed towards him like a long river hanging from the sky.

Following Cao Cao's orders, Xu Chu came in from outside the palace, carrying the imperial seal.

The national seal was like a purple sun, combining with Zhang Liao's military strength to boost his power and further rise.

At the same time, the imperial seal is also integrating the military fortunes of the divine generals, which in turn improves the country's fortunes.

The Great Wei gained another great general, and the country's fortune also benefited accordingly.

And when the military fortune and national fortune are integrated and affect the people of the whole country, the physical fitness of the people will improve imperceptibly, and more soldiers and generals with strong physical fitness will appear.

If the cultural context is strong, there will be more capable officials.

This is a virtuous circle.

With the help of the hints in the entries, Cao Cao avoided many detours and within a few years, he had as many as four legendary generals.

Xu Chu and Taishi Ci, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are also not far from the level of divine generals.

It would also be beneficial for him to let Xu Chu hold the imperial seal and observe Zhang Liao's breakthrough from close range.

Sleeping hall.

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze and looked back at the couch.

Zhen Mi was lying on her side, breathing evenly, her thick eyelashes slightly curled, her little face full of joy and satisfaction, and her figure was rising and falling under the thin quilt.

Haishi.

Boss Cao went from door to door and came to Zhen Yanwu.

He recently made a new discovery that his concubines seemed to be about to have the physiques of the four divine beasts, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise.

The next day was a special day.

In the morning, all officials gathered and came to the ancestral temple north of the Tongquetai Palace.

In front of the altar, Cao Cao was wearing imperial robes and looked solemn.

Zheng Xuan, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, Shui Jing, Zhong Yao, Tong Yuan and others will accompany the sacrifice and set an auspicious day for the Fengshan ceremony.

The day after Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, he offered sacrifices. He got the divination that early spring was a good time to offer sacrifices and communicate with heaven.

Now is the second time to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in order to set the final date.

It takes two sacrifices before a day for Fengshan is chosen, which is a time-consuming and laborious process.

This is the rule passed down by the ancients, and Cao Cao could only go with the flow.

Hua Xin, the Minister of Rites who was in charge of ancestral temple sacrifices and rites concerning ghosts and gods, presented the divination to the emperor.

[You are about to cast a hexagram. With the luck gathered from 20 million reputations, all hexagrams will be auspicious.]

Cao Cao smiled.

The hanging tags are divided into two pieces, yin and yang, which together form a circle, somewhat like a yin-yang fish.

Cao Cao held the Yin-Yang hanging sign in his hand and threw it forward.

Snapped!
The two hanging signs fell on the altar, rolled several times, and then came together to form a whole hanging, perfect and seamless.

Hua Xin was stunned.

Zheng Xuan, who was by his side, was an expert at fortune-telling and saying auspicious words.

He had already thought of what answer the emperor would give, and he would definitely make it happen so as not to dampen the emperor's interest in asking questions of heaven.

But at this time Zheng Xuan was also stunned.

The others who had some understanding of the hexagrams were all stunned.

The innate number of Yi is sixty-four.

Among them, sixty-three hexagrams are half good and half bad.

There is only one hexagram that is considered completely auspicious, which is the Qian hexagram. All six lines are auspicious, and it is regarded as the best hexagram.

But Cao Cao's combination of yin and yang is not included in the list of innate Yi numbers.

The two hanging signs fit together perfectly and appear as one. Such a neat hexagram represents the innate great perfection, corresponding to the combined numbers of heaven and earth, and is completely auspicious.

To explain, the person who gets this kind of hexagram is God's favorite child and can do whatever he wants.

tsk...

Hua Xin and Zheng Xuan stepped forward together and whispered, "Your Majesty, the hexagram is in harmony with heaven and earth."

What they meant was that cheating was forbidden and that one must respect the heavens, but they did not dare to say it directly to the emperor.

Cao Cao glanced at the two of them.

A total of three hexagrams are required.

Then he shook the second hexagram.

Snapped!
Two hanging tags, better put together.

Cao Cao spread his hands, meaning: You see, I said I didn't cheat.

Everyone: Same thing twice, cheating is too obvious.

When I cast the hexagram for the third time, the two hanging signs were still stuck together, and the hexagram of great perfection appeared.

This is my level.

"Your Majesty has obtained the Daman hexagram, which is auspicious for all events. It corresponds to 95, the fifth day of the fifth month of the year, and 64, which are both harmonious yin and yang, and the number 10, which is the Chaos Heaven hexagram. The double months of 9 and 10 are also very auspicious. Please approve it, Your Majesty."

It is difficult for Zheng Xuan, the Chaos Heaven Hexagram is a word he created specifically for Cao Cao's hexagram.

Because there has never been such a thing, we can only say that the combination of yin and yang is the chaotic heavenly hexagram, which sounds quite plausible.

He gave May 5th, June 4th, as well as September and October, for Cao Cao to choose.

There are both distant and recent dates, which are the experiences summarized by Zheng Xuan in the past.

May is too hasty.

September and October are too far away.

"June is the best." said Cao Cao.

Zheng Xuan hurriedly said, "June is the most auspicious day. Your Majesty has designated it as the Fengshan day, praying for peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

The day for the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai was set, and all preparations were already underway.

At present, the Great Wei is internally stable, and the initiative of external wars is in our own hands. It can be said that the signs of a well-governed country are beginning to emerge.

Considering the great victory in defeating the Xianbei, it was indeed appropriate to hold the Fengshan ceremony at this time.

The date was set and all parties were actively preparing.

That evening, Cao Cao returned to the inner house and came to Diao Chan's bedroom.

At noon, Diao Chan asked Yin to deliver a small note, saying that she had something to discuss with Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao came in, he saw Yu Qing, Bian Mei, and Princess Cao Ning were also there, playing with the three half-grown tiger cubs.

Her Royal Highness the Princess named the three tiger cubs Fu Lu Shou.

"Father."

The eldest princess came up and gave her father a kiss, then ran away with the tiger cub.

"Has Qing'er caused trouble again? She ran away when she saw me. It's obvious that she's afraid that I will blame her."

The child's mother, Yu Qing, quickly passed the blame on to others: "I don't know. You should ask Wen Ji. She taught the child." She passed the blame on completely.

Before Cao Cao came, Diao Chan and Yu Qing were eating candied fruits on the small couch in the room.

Bian Mei was sipping tea on the side.

Cao Cao came in and squeezed onto the soft couch where the three women smelled delicious.

"This morning, Wang sent a message saying that someone in my adoptive father's family is going to celebrate a birthday and hopes that I can go and participate." Diao Chan said.

The mother of Wang Ji, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, celebrated his birthday, and someone from the Wang family came to invite the imperial concubine to visit her.

Earlier, Wang Ji, the head of the Wang family, came to Yecheng and brought his son Wang An with him. He originally wanted to pay a visit to Cao Cao.

But later Wang Ji sent his son back to Taiyuan ahead of time, and his son did not meet Cao Cao.

The relationship between the Wang family and Cao Wei has been relatively close over the years.

Diao Chan thought of Wang Yun's adoption and care for her, and obviously couldn't refuse, so she wanted to go.

"Where are you celebrating your birthday?"

"Wang Ji's mother's original surname was Wu. She returned to her hometown to visit her relatives and celebrated her birthday at Wu's home in Rencheng."

Rencheng is located in the southeast corner of Yanzhou where Cao Cao ruled in his early years, only a few hundred miles away from Mount Tai and separated by a county.

"That's perfect. I'm going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods. It's a grand ceremony and my relatives and clansmen will also participate. You can go to the birthday banquet and then come over to join me."

Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

Yu Qing said with sparkling eyes:

"It's still some time before the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. Why don't we go out for a walk in advance? After the great victory of the Xianbei, my family hasn't celebrated yet.

We can go to Onozawa to stay for a few days, and it's on the way there."

Bian Mei was also moved by what she heard and was eager to try it.

Although Cao Cao did not forbid his concubines from leaving the palace, they had to avoid suspicion due to their status, so they rarely went out.

After staying in the palace all year round, I want to go out and move around.

Cao Cao thought of Xun Yu.

After solving the problem of the Xianbei in the north, court officials such as Chen Qun, Jiang Gan, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong were successively promoted and took charge of various affairs, so Xun Yu could relax a little.

Take him out with you this time?
Cao Cao agreed to set out early, and the women cheered.

Cao Cao then sent someone to pass on a message, telling Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and other key members to go out for team building.

Front hall.

When Xun Yu finished his business and was about to go home, he received an oral order from the eunuch that the emperor wanted to take him out for a walk.

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment and tears almost fell.

After so many years, it’s finally my turn to be taken out together.

He happily returned home and asked his wife, Tang, to start preparing.

A few days later, Diao Chan set out at the end of March to attend Wang Ji's mother's birthday.

All the family members in the Cao family prepared for a few days and planned to set off.

Xun Yu prepared all the necessary things for the trip ten days in advance and was eagerly looking forward to the day of departure.

In mid-April, Cao Cao had arranged all matters in the court and it was time to set off.

At noon, Guo Jia and Xun You came to find Xun Yu, planning to go together.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw more than ten large boxes being loaded into a truck.

"Wenruo, you brought so many things?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

Several people addressed each other privately by their personal addresses, regardless of their official positions.

Xun Yu appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very excited.

He hadn't been out for seven or eight years, and his desire to go out and see the world became stronger and stronger as time went by.

"Your Majesty's eunuchs will prepare everything. We will just follow you. Why do you, Wenruo, carry so many things with you?" Cheng Yu also came in from outside and asked.

Xun Yu had never been out with Cao Cao, so he was not very clear about the routine of going out.

But since I have already brought it, I can’t take it off and put it back.

Xun Yu said in an unfathomable manner: "I have my own considerations. Let's go first and talk about it later."

Then he asked, "Fengxiao, why do you smell like powder? You are a grown man, but you still wear perfume sachets?"

Xun You and Cheng Yu also looked at Guo Jia with strange eyes.

I may not be a man anymore, Guo Jia secretly felt sad, but appeared calm on the surface:
"This is a special herbal medicine I made. Carry it with you to refresh your mind. It's a must-have when you go out."

The others were skeptical.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone gathered at the gate of Tongquetai Palace.

When the boss goes out for team building, officials at all levels come to see him off. I am extremely envious and vow to get into the boss' circle as soon as possible.

Zhang Liao, who had just broken through to the realm of divine general, also followed along.

After they set out, they headed east along the Yellow River and soon arrived at Daye Lake.

Cao Cao stayed in Daye Lake for two days and went to inspect the surrounding counties.

Xun Yu also wanted to see the situation in various places, so he traveled around the nearby counties with Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

After Cao Cao left Daye Lake and walked east for some distance, he was not far from Rencheng.

On a whim, he decided to go to the place where Diao Chan was attending the birthday party.
