Cao Ang succeeded in the first battle, like subduing Ma Chao and Han Sui, and then defeated Kebineng and Cheliji, seriously injuring the vitality of Xianbei and Hu Qiang, and solved the border troubles in the north. Naturally, he was under Cao Cao's influence when he returned to Xudu. He greatly praised him, and all the civil and military officials also looked at him with admiration. His status was naturally as stable as Mount Tai, which made Cao Pi and others even more stressed.

Cao Cao even held a banquet with ministers to celebrate Cao Ang, and Wei Zhongdao naturally wanted to attend. Now that the Three Dukes have been deposed, Cao Cao calls himself the prime minister, and Wei Zhongdao has done too much. He is the head of the nine ministers, so naturally he sits on the left hand side of Cao Cao. In terms of position, even Cao Ang had to succumb to him, let alone Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi.

Cao Cao first toasted the officials to express his gratitude. Now that Xiliang has been recaptured, only Yizhou and Hanzhong have not yet been captured. Cao Cao's domination of the world is inevitable, but everyone is paying attention to when Cao Cao will become king. When the emperor was dethroned and ascended the throne, many people even wanted to make suggestions for Cao Cao to become king on this happy occasion. However, they were warned in advance by Wei Zhongdao and had no choice but to give up.

It's not that Wei Zhongdao doesn't want Cao Cao to become king, but because the world has not yet been unified, there is no need to be so impatient. He is already sure about Yizhou and Hanzhong. In a year or two at most, he can help Cao Cao unite the thirteen states in the world. , when the time comes, he will follow Cao Cao to become king and emperor, and he will never stop him.

Cao Cao also knew what Wei Zhongdao meant, so he never showed any impatience. He could afford to wait for one or two years. Although he was already over fifty, he was still in good health, so he didn't care at all.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass and looked at Cao Ang. His face was a little more phoenix-shuang-like, and he was much more mature and determined. He felt greatly relieved, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, nodded secretly, and said.

"Come here Zixiu!"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to call Cao Ang to his side, handed the wine glass in his hand to Cao Ang's hand, and said with deep meaning under the gaze of all the ministers.

"My father is a little too drunk, so please propose a toast to all the ministers on my father's behalf!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a moment. What did this mean? Everyone had a vague guess in their hearts.

Cao Pi's face was livid, and he clutched the wine glass in his hand tightly. His eyes were filled with cold light, and he stared blankly at Cao Ang, who was standing next to Cao Cao, and kept roaring in his heart.

"How is it possible? Why do you want him to toast on such an occasion?"

"Unfair! It's really unfair!"

"Why don't you give me any chance?"

The anger in Cao Pi's heart surged into his heart, and his facial features were distorted. His expression was ferocious, like a demon from hell, which made people feel a little scared.

Wei Zhongdao sensed the strong resentment and couldn't help but glance sideways at Cao Pi, who was unwilling to be angry. He smiled, stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly.

"Prime Minister, is it enough for Mr. Zixiu to toast only one glass of wine? He must toast at least two glasses of wine. The first glass of wine is for the Prime Minister, and the second glass of wine must be toasted on his own behalf!!"

The meaning of Wei Zhongdao's words was very obvious. Cao Cao laughed and said in agreement.

"What Zhongdao said is true. Zixiu should have a toast himself. I hope Zhongdao will give you more guidance in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Everyone understood what Cao Cao meant. This was acknowledging the fact that Cao Ang was his future heir. Although it was not stated explicitly, it was already confirmed.

When Wei Zhongdao heard this, he raised his glass and gestured to Cao Ang, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing this, Cao Ang quickly drank all the wine in the glass, then bowed and said respectfully to Wei Zhongdao.

"Please give me more advice in the future, sir!"

Wei Zhongdao glanced at Cao Ang, and then turned his eyes to Cao Cao. Cao Cao nodded, with a smile on his face full of relief, and then Wei Zhongdao slowly spoke.

"Master Zixiu, please rise. If I say anything wrong in the future, please bear with me!"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere at the scene became lively in an instant. Everyone understood that Cao Cao and Wei Zhongdao had recognized Cao Ang as their future heir, and they all stood up to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and happily. He was very satisfied with Cao Ang's performance this time. He was worthy of his carefully trained and trained son. The troubles in the north were solved in one battle. Now only Yizhou and Hanzhong are left, and they are far away from unifying the world. Not far away.

"Congratulations to all the ministers!"

The banquet did not break up until late at night. Wei Zhongdao, Guo Jia and others were walking on the way back home. The surroundings were quiet, and naturally there were servants holding lanterns in front of them to lead the way.

Xun Yu walked behind Wei Zhongdao, his face drooped, looking very gloomy, his eyes staring at Wei Zhongdao in front of him, hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Guo Jia and others had a look of worry in their eyes. Looking at Xun Yu who was as gentle as jade, they didn't know how to persuade him.

Suddenly, Wei Zhongdao in front stopped and said.

"Everyone, I'm here, see you tomorrow!"

Xun Yu looked at Wei Zhongdao who had entered the mansion, and stretched out his hand to grab him, but gave up for some reason. There was a bit of dejection on his face, and he sighed dejectedly.

After Guo Jia defeated Yuan Shao, he almost died. It was Wei Zhongdao who took action and used his spiritual talent to save him. However, his body was not as good as before. He went deep into simplicity, cultivated his character, and even drank more moderately.

"Wen Ruo, why are you doing this?"

When Xun Yu heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Guo Jia. There was a light in his eyes, which was a kind of faith and persistence. He said firmly with a bit of stubbornness on his gentle and jade-like face.

"The Emperor is still here, what are the Prime Minister and Wei Zhongdao going to do? Do they want to pass on the throne from generation to generation? Then, will the next step be to overstep the mark and declare themselves emperor?"

Although Xun Yu had always supported Cao Cao, he regarded himself as a Han official. He wanted Cao Cao to be Duke of Zhou and Huo Guang, not Wang Mang. So tonight when he saw Cao Cao establishing his successor in public, he understood that Cao Cao's next step was to proclaim himself king and emperor. Okay, how could he accept this?

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu who was obsessed with it at this time. He sighed and tightened his clothes. He was weak and couldn't bear the cold night. His face was a little pale and his lips were blue. He persuaded weakly. .

"We are weak, the general trend is like this, the Han Dynasty has gone through four hundred years, which is not a short period of time. A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, you still need to think about your family!"

Xun Yu's face turned pale when he heard this, but there was still persistence in his eyes. He shook his head slowly, unwilling to give up the belief in his heart.

Seeing Xun Yu who was so persistent, Xun You also sighed, his tone extremely lonely.

"Uncle, why are you using your arms as a chariot? No one can stop the Prime Minister and Wei Zhongdao. You should understand?"
