Because there is a process for worshiping a general.

To pay homage to the general, hundreds of officials must gather together. The edict sent by the emperor, Guang Luxun and others, will be read in public, and then the minister will pay it to the censor with his seal and ribbon.

Then the imperial censor will grant him the seal, seal, and ribbon, and finally he will be given gifts and other items. This is when he is officially appointed as the general.

But in the eyes of the three of them, since His Majesty has already agreed, it is already a done deal. It doesn't make much difference if he calls early or later.

After all, in the palace now, would anyone dare to chew the ears of three people?

Just when Sun Liu and Cao Shuang thought they were successful, in the Emperor's bedroom behind them, Cao Rui, who was already too tired to speak, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Lian Zhao."

"His Majesty?"

Lian Zhao, who had been standing by the couch, immediately came over.

"Now go immediately to announce that Cao Changshi has entered the palace. Remember, don't let anyone know."

"promise."

At this time, Cao Yu, who had just come out of the palace, turned a corner along the wall of the imperial city and met a person head-on.

"King Yan!"

When Cao Yu saw Cao Zhao, he was shocked at first, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face:

"Chang Si has been staying here?"

"Exactly."

Cao Yu looked around, then lowered his voice:

"Why doesn't Chang Si enter the palace?"

Cao Zhao had a sad look on his face and said slightly irritably:

"Since I arrived in Xuchang, I haven't had the same convenience as in Luoyang. I can come in and out of the palace at will. In addition, His Majesty has been ill, and the ministers are not allowed to enter the palace without issuing an imperial edict."

"In the past few days, I have repeatedly submitted petitions to enter the palace to see His Majesty, but Your Majesty has never issued an edict, and I am helpless."

After hearing this, Cao Yu moved his lips, but he didn't know how to tell Cao Zhao.

Cao Zhao didn't notice Cao Yu's expression, he just asked slightly anxiously:

"King Yan, how is your Majesty's health?"

"this……"

Cao Yu hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.

"King Yan, I know that your Majesty's physical condition is a palace secret and cannot be inquired about at will, but..."

Cao Zhao punched his right palm several times with his left palm, and stamped his feet at the same time, showing his inner anxiety:

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I'm worried about Your Majesty."

Seeing that Cao Yu still refused to explain, Cao Zhao knew his difficulty and did not continue to press. He just changed the topic:

"King Yan, when your Majesty was in Luoyang, he had the intention of appointing auxiliary ministers. Your Majesty once revealed to me that he wanted to make King Yan a general and the head of the auxiliary ministers."

When Cao Zhao said this, he glanced at Cao Yu.

Cao Yu's expression did not change much, and he sighed:

"I came to the palace today just for this matter."

"Oh?" Cao Zhao suddenly became happy when he heard this, "Your Majesty has made up his mind?"

The gloom that had been in my heart for many days suddenly seemed like the sun was shining through the clouds.

As long as King Yan becomes a general, what will he have to worry about in the future?

Cao Yu nodded:

"Your Majesty wanted to make me a general, but I refused."

Cao Zhaocai's face, which had just turned happy, suddenly froze.

His eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't spit out a word.

After a while, he forced a smile and said:

"King Yan, this joke is not funny at all."

Cao Yu shook his head:

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Is there any reason for an uncle to assist a great-grandson who is less than eight years old?

At that time, the world will only laugh at him for being greedy for power and ignorant of reason.

Besides, Cao Yu saw with his own eyes how Cao Pi and Cao Zhi fought to the death for the position of heir apparent.

The tragic situation after Cao Zhi failed in the fight for the throne was a warning to him.

He didn't have a standing position back then, so why now would he have to walk into a cement pit that he was destined to be unable to climb out of?

Do you want to go back as long as you live?

The most important thing is that Cao Yu does not have the confidence to deal with old foxes such as Sima Yi, Liu Fang, Sun Zi, etc. in the court.

Not only do these people hold real power, but they are also old men who have followed Emperor Wu in his early years. How many of them are simple people?

It was just because I had a good relationship with the emperor in his early years when he was not a nobleman. After the emperor ascended the throne, he missed the old friendship and was specially summoned to the court by the emperor in recent years.

How much foundation can there be?

This is just for the court.

Not to mention foreign enemies, no matter who is the general, they cannot avoid the serious problem of Shu captives.

To put it mildly, the Shu captives captured Guanzhong and Hedong, and the emperor was forced to march eastward. The Wei Dynasty is now in a mess.

Whoever can take care of him should become a general. Cao Yu knew that he didn't have the ability and if he forced himself to take office, he might only bring chaos to the country.

From this aspect, Cao Yu is indeed as self-aware as Sun and Liu said.

But how could Cao Zhao know such complicated thoughts of Cao Yu?

He was so anxious that he was like a wounded beast trapped in a small cage:

"How can you……"

Probably feeling that the tone was too harsh, he lowered his voice and approached Cao Yu:

"How could His Highness refuse? This...this..."

Cao Yu smiled:

"I know that my talents are not enough. For such an important task, it is better for Your Majesty to choose another talented person."

Before leaving, Cao Yu finally said something useful for the sake of their friendship:

"His Majesty will most likely choose the candidate for the general in these two days. If you want to make some suggestions, you'd better find a way to enter the palace to meet His Majesty as soon as possible."

After speaking, he left in a hurry without staying any longer.

Cao Zhao looked at Cao Yu's leaving figure and knew that King Yan was no longer trustworthy.

Although he was depressed, he had to regain his energy immediately:

"No, I must find a way to see His Majesty."

While he was thinking about it, he just turned the corner of the city wall and suddenly froze.

It turned out that the two of them had just stopped to talk and had been delayed for a long time. At this time, Sun, Liu and Cao happened to leave the palace gate.

Cao Zhao subconsciously stepped back.

What he didn't see was that Sun, Liu and Cao were about to leave, and Shang Shulang Lian Zhao, who had been staying by Cao Rui's side, was trotting out of the palace.

"Where does Shangshu Lang want to go?"

Cao Shuang was in a good mood and couldn't help but look around. When he saw Lian Zhao with his sharp eyes, he couldn't help but smile and say hello.

Lian Zhao's reaction was a little strange.

He shrank back a little, as if he had done something wrong.

Cao Shuang hasn't discovered Lian Zhao's abnormality yet, but Sun and Liu have matured with age.

Lian Zhao should be standing by His Majesty's side at this time, waiting for orders. Why did he leave the palace in a hurry?

Could it be...

"Where does Shangshu Lang want to go?"

Sun Zi walked forward slowly, as if chatting, and asked Cao Shuang's words again.

"No...no, I just want to take a walk around the palace."

Lian Zhao shook his head repeatedly.
To be continued...
