The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

A month is actually very short.

Not to mention it hasn't been a month yet.

Seeing Sima Yi not making any preparations, Cao Pi worried for her.

"What's the rush?"

Of course, Cao Pi thought.There are only two paths before Sima Yi, one is to disobey orders and not marry, and the other is to marry Cao Pi. (We have to admire Mr. Pi's narcissism. He has automatically ignored the other path proposed by his father.) If Sima Yi chooses the former, then Sima Yi is playing to his death.If he chose the latter, Cao Pi wondered why he hadn't seen her preparing the dowry yet?

"Don't worry, Jia Wenhe will get things done."

Cao Pi couldn't figure it out no matter what, what could Jia Xu do about such an unsolvable matter?

Until one day, Cao Cao had a headache again, and the medical officers around him rushed to treat him for a while, but they could only relieve the pain. Cao Cao was so worried that when Jia Xu came to visit, he told Jia Xu about his illness.

Jia Xu said that Wei Gong's chronic illness may not be cured by medicine and stones, why not ask the sky?

Cao Cao hesitated. He has always had the attitude that he must believe in the art of witchcraft and divination.After all, he has Qingzhou soldiers who have been recruited from the Yellow Turban Army, and those people have a lot to do with witchcraft; but he himself feels that fate is ridiculous: if everything is preordained, what is the point of personal efforts?

"Does Wei Gong know if he is in charge? He can predict good and bad luck. There was once a man whose wife often suffered from heartache and his son suffered from a headache. Please take care of him. He said to him: "There are two rotten coffins under the house, one of which has a sword. Heart, the other holds a spear and stabs the head.' Afterwards, he moved to the second coffin, and his wife and children recovered from their illnesses."

Divination can also cure diseases, and it also cured the headache. Regardless of whether it is true or not, this example is so attractive that Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to invite him.

Guan Ren came soon, and brought a young friend with him. The two greeted Cao Cao, and the extra person introduced himself as Zhu Jianping. He just came to visit his old friend Guan Ren. The warriors who went to "invite" Guan Ren heard that Zhu Jianping was also capable of pinching and counting, so they simply brought them along. Anyway, Duke Wei was looking for someone who could divination, so he would rather catch the wrong man than let him go.

Cao Cao was a little disappointed when he saw Guan Ren. He thought he was a fairy-tale old man, but he was just an ordinary middle-aged face. Zhu Jianping also had an ordinary appearance, with neither thick nor thin eyebrows, nor big nor small eyes. , single eyelid, and a flat nose like Guan Ren.

Cao Cao didn't ask Guan Ren to do the divination immediately, but called the servant over, said a few words in a low voice, the servant bowed his head and left, and after a while came up with a holding box.

"Since the warlock is good at divination, why not calculate what kind of fruit is in this box?"

Everyone was waiting eagerly for Guan Ren to take out the tortoise shell, ox bone and yarrow, no matter what it is, it is an indispensable prop for divination, but Guan Ren didn't take out anything, he didn't even lift his hand, just smiled, Turning to Cao Cao: "The eyes are invisible, the hearing is silent, and the food is tasteless, which is suitable for Xun Ling."

Few people around could understand it. Cao Cao probably understood it, but he didn't change his face. The servant opened the holding box in front of everyone, and there was nothing in it.

Another person brought a box, and Guan Ren fiddled with his hands in his sleeves a little: "Pure text quality, horizontal longitude and vertical weft, red will make it red, and ink will make it black."

When it was opened, it was a silk script with a government order and a red seal.

After probing twice, Cao Cao changed his previous description, respected Guan Ren and ordered them to serve wine and food, and asked Guan Ren about his illness.

Only then did Guan Ren take out yarrow and other things for divination. After he was busy for a while, he respectfully saluted Cao Cao, who was eager to know the result: "Duke Wei, don't worry, it's just wind evil, and nothing inauspicious is involved. Please be at ease, Mr. Wei." , delay the treatment and cure the disease."

"Is it in the way of your life?"

"The hexagram is smooth and there is no danger. Duke Wei is at ease."

After listening to Guan Ren's words, Cao Cao felt much more comfortable in his heart. No matter whether the words are true or not, the guarantees spoken by others are always comfortable.

"Guan Qing, can you predict the world's affairs alone?" Cao Cao wanted to ask something else after the worry of his life was over. He was invited so easily, and he couldn't be missed so easily, not to mention that this person was quite accurate. .

"Heaven is not to be taken lightly. Now that Duke Wei has a question, maybe you can try it, but you can only predict three things. If you talk too much, you may be wrong. Please forgive me, Duke Wei."

There are only three things to ask, so you need to think about it carefully, Cao Cao thought for a while: "Try to predict the world's affairs first."

Guan Ren asked to narrow down the scope of the search: "The problems in the world are too big to handle. Please limit it to Duke Wei."

"Since that's the case...with Xudu as the limit, within five years."

Guan Ren waved his hexagrams with his hands, and after a while there was a result: "The moon shines away from the fire, and the sun shines on the Red River. It will be stable for several years, and there is no escape from this calamity."

"According to what you mean, is there a disaster in Xudu?" Cao Cao was a little surprised.

"The Duke of Wei only ordered Ren to divination the hexagrams, and he only told the hexagrams according to the facts. The deep meaning of the hexagrams is not fully known. He only knows that the matter will be next year. The hexagrams are dangerous and smooth, and Wei Gong can rest assured. After this incident, When there are several years of peace."

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and then ordered Guan Ren to predict Sun Quan, Liu Bei and the frontier.

"Jiangdong is respectful, Shu uses troops, there is no chaos in Xiliang, and Liaodong is not prosperous."

That said, it was fairly peaceful.

Cao Cao then ordered Guan Ren to calculate his life expectancy.

Guan Ren threw down all the tools and knelt down on the ground: "Duke Wei forgives the crime. This matter cannot be predicted by Ren."

"Why?"

"Duke Wei is extremely noble at this time, and the hexagram of Ren dare not predict nobles."

Cao Cao didn't take it seriously: "In the past, Yan Ziling was especially predicted by Emperor Guangwu. Is it more expensive than that? What are your words?"

Guan Ren said: "The son of heaven is so precious, and Ren is especially good at divination, but he dare not divvy Duke Wei."

This implicit flattery was shot, and no one present felt that there was any arrogance. Everyone knew in their hearts that there was nothing to pretend.

Lifespan cannot be divined, so there is still one quota left. Cao Cao seriously considers what else he wants Guan Ren to count.

Jia Xu moved closer: "Duke Wei, why didn't you order him to investigate Sima?"

This reminded Cao Cao. Indeed, Cao Cao was worried about Sima Yi's influence on Cao Pi in the political situation. In the final analysis, he was afraid that the power of the Cao family would change his surname in the future. If Sima could not do this, there would be no need to force marriage. It's quite troublesome, to clarify Sima Yi's identity, to explain Sima Yi's previous behavior, to make a confession with Sima Fang's family, and Sima Yi himself is dragging his family...

Just as Cao Cao wanted to ask Guan Ren to do a fortune-telling, he felt that it was inappropriate. It would be useless to explain the matter too clearly, so he told Jia Xu to make preparations. Five screens were set up in front of Ren, and behind each screen sat a woman covering her head with a handkerchief.

After everything was arranged, Cao Pi also came to see Cao Cao. He didn't know what happened, so he saluted his father in a daze.

Cao Cao waved him to sit next to him, and then said to Guan Ren, "This is the second son who is orphaned. I want to choose a wife and concubines for him. You can try divination. Can these five daughters be okay?"

Guan Ren made a divination for everyone, but his hands trembled when he reached the third person.All five of them finished divination, and Guan Ren said that the result had been obtained.

"What's the result of everyone?"

Guan Ren stretched out his hand and pointed at the five people casually: "Young master is a noble man, no one is worthy of you." But Guan Ren's hand skipped over the third woman intentionally or unintentionally.

Cao Cao's eyes are still good, he can see Guan Ren's small movements clearly: "How about the three girls?"

Guan Ren replied respectfully: "It's not suitable for the young master either."

Cao Cao asked Guan Ren to divination the fate of the five people again.

Guan Ren refused: "Duke Wei, the three matters have been completed, so please forgive me for not being able to follow orders."

Although it was agreed before, it is also possible that Cao Cao forgot or pretended to forget on purpose. Guan Ren's doing so hurts people's self-esteem. Anyway, the opposite is Wei Gong, Wei Gong!Guan Ren, why don't you calculate for yourself the consequences of offending Cao Cao?

Of course, it is not ruled out that he did it after calculation...

Seeing that Cao Cao's face was not looking good, Guan Ren didn't panic. Zhu Jianping who was next to him came up to make a rescue: "Wei Gong, brother Guan is weak and not qualified for this job. I'm not talented, I have a little knowledge of physiognomy, and I may be able to take orders."

Cao Cao looked at Zhu Jianping. He had never tried it before, so he didn't dare to believe it easily.

"You look lonely, how many children do you have?"

"Please forgive Wei Gong for disrespect." After obtaining Cao Cao's permission, Zhu Jianping took a few steps closer, carefully scrutinized Cao Cao's face, and knelt down respectfully, "To Wei Gong, Wei Gong is more Blessed are the sons, there should be 26 sons."

This answer is hard to say right or wrong, Cao Cao does not have so many sons now, but who knows whether Cao Cao's concubines will continue to have children in the future?

"There are not as many people around Gu." Cao Cao obviously didn't take Zhu Jianping seriously, and didn't believe his answer that couldn't be verified anyway.But there is a question, Mr. Wei, if you don’t believe me, why do you ask such uncertain questions?

Zhu Jianping is also a well-known physicist anyway, Cao Cao didn't know that he was Cao Cao's problem, but he couldn't use bean buns as dry food!In order to prove himself, Zhu Jianping immediately said: "Naturally, not all the princes around Duke Wei can serve him. Among the princes who travel far, one of them stays in Yizhou!"

Big killer, this is a big killer.

Cao Cao looked at Zhu Jianping in shock, and after a while he allowed Zhu Jianping to meet those women instead of Guan Ren.

But when Zhu Jianping got closer, he realized that things were not that simple: Cao Cao didn't allow him to see the faces of these women...

This is not surprising, because among those women, in addition to ordinary maids, there are also two concubines of Cao Cao.

In desperation, Zhu Jianping could only take a second look at the hands of these people. Of course, he didn't dare to touch those slender hands, and he didn't even look carefully at the hands of the third woman.

"Those who are all tainted with noble spirit act very humanly." Zhu Jianping reported back to Cao Cao.

"Nobility also has its own merits, which refers to what you call noble."

Cao Cao stared at Zhu Jianping and pointed to the first and fourth women, behind which were his concubines: "These two are very expensive."

Without the third one, Cao Cao felt relieved a lot.

"What is the lifespan of a lonely person?"

Zhu Jianping's performance was not much better than that of Guan Ren before: "The prime minister is a noble person, and I dare not be prime minister."

This answer really makes people impatient, who invented this sentence?It's a golden oil, if you are not sure or can't calculate it, just say that others are expensive and dare not make a fortune, then the fortune teller is too easy to do.

Cao Cao looked left and right, pointed at Cao Pi, and told Zhu Jianping to go.

Cao Pi was a little excited and a little nervous, and he also asked Zhu Jianping: "Mr. Zhu, how long is Pi's life expectancy?"

Zhu Jianping is still the same way: "Young Master Pi is beyond words, I dare not meet you."

That's boring.Cao Cao was not happy at the time: "A evasion! Come quickly!"

Guan Ren looked at Zhu Jianping, gloating: I told you to come forward and get into trouble, right?

Zhu Jianping scolded Guan Ren tossing in his heart: I don't even think about who I'm doing it for!It's fine if you don't help, just watch the fun!

In this way, Guan Ren is actually quite wronged. At this time, what else can he do if he doesn't watch the fun?

Zhu Jianping reluctantly looked at Cao Pi carefully, and finally said: "Mr. Pi...he will live to be eighty years old."

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this number. 80 years old is definitely a long life!These days, the average life expectancy may not be more than 25 years old. At 80 years old, this is equivalent to living three times for others!

When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed from cloudy to sunny, but Jia Xu was still nearby, so he asked unexpectedly, "What is the life expectancy of the three women behind the screen?"

"More than seventy."

Also long enough.Cao Pi didn't realize what it meant at first, but Cao Cao understood right away. What Cao Cao was worried about was that no one could restrain Sima Yi. As long as Cao Pi is alive, Sima Yi can't change the sky.Since Sima Yi's life expectancy is not as good as Cao Pi's, and she is older than Cao Pi, then there is no need to worry too much.

When Cao Pi realized what he meant, he couldn't be happier.His expression became quite conflicted and tangled.

Jia Xu leaned into Cao Cao's ear: "Duke Wei, if you are concerned about the Sima family, it is better to keep it by your side. If it is included in the inner house, Wei Gong's mountain mausoleum will collapse, and she is the mother, so it is difficult to guarantee her self-reliance; stay with Wei Gong. It is easy to supervise, and if it makes a mistake, it is very convenient to deal with it immediately."

Cao Cao felt that he needed to think about it.So he waved his hand to order everyone to leave, and gave the servant a wink.

Guan Ren and Zhu Jianping went out, and before they could get out of the palace garden, they turned around and ran away. The guide didn't know what they were going to do, so he hurriedly chased after them with a loud shout: "People in the palace also run casually." what!

Going around a rockery, a few flowers and trees, Guan Ren suddenly stopped, Zhu Jianping complained out of breath: "Run... run slower..."

"If you run slowly, you will die."

"If you've figured it all out, why don't you come here! Why don't you just hide!"

"Wei Gong is very suspicious. We know too many things about him. It's no wonder he spared us."

"So I told you not to come!"

"If you don't come, you will die, and you will die faster."

Guan Ren managed to choke Zhu Jianping with one sentence.

"Then why are you running this way? Do you know the way?"

"I don't know you." Guan Ren answered so bluntly that almost made Zhu Jianping lose his temper. Fortunately, he immediately said, "I came here because I knew someone would be waiting for us here."

"Mr. Guan is good at hexagrams." Sima Yi stepped out of the shadows.

"Wei Gong asked you several times." Guan Ren said, "He is also afraid."

"Mr. Guan's hexagram skills and Mr. Zhu's physiognomy skills are extremely accurate."

"Let's talk about how to get out first!" Zhu Jianping was very anxious.

Sima Yi took them a few steps to a carriage: "Young Master Pi is very grateful to you two, and you must ensure that you leave safely. Please get in the carriage. This is Young Master Pi's carriage, and others dare not check it."

Zhu Jianping expressed his disbelief: "Not sure. If Mr. Wei is determined to arrest us, Mr. Pi's car will also be searched."

Sima Yi smiled: "There will be no search, because there is another person in the car."

Who is it?

When I got into the car, I found that there was already a woman sitting inside, a woman, and a beautiful woman, but at this time the beautiful woman's face was gloomy and frosty, not very good-looking.

"Thank you Madam Zhen." Sima Yi saluted.

Zhen Shi didn't want to see Sima Yi, that's why she didn't want to ride in the same car with two strange men, but Guo Xu told her she had to do it, if she refused, her daughter would suffer.

What kind of calculations Guo Xu had, in fact, Mrs. Zhen knew it in her heart.

Before the carriage left, Sima Yi asked Guan Ren: "Mr. Guan seems to have counted all kinds of things today. Yi is quite puzzled by this. I have a question for you: Can you count infinite things?"

Guan Ren smiled half-smile: "I can't."

Sima Yi immediately asked: "So, sir's divination is contradictory. For example, today's matter, sir may have figured out yesterday that I will be here at this time. If so, sir should figure out the day before yesterday. Sima Yi is waiting here." ', even the day before yesterday, Mr. should also be able to calculate. By analogy, Mr. can calculate infinite things."

The carriage started, and Guan Ren left a sentence: "Human life is finite, not infinite, so he will die from exhaustion."

Sima Yi was still thinking about this sentence, Guan Ren's expression was familiar to her, she must have seen it somewhere, but now she couldn't remember it, and was thinking hard, when Cao Pi came from behind and hugged her tightly.

"This is in the palace, don't let it go! You want people to see it!" Sima Yi was also very nervous.

Cao Pi let go, he was still thinking about Zhu Jianping's life expectancy: "Zhong Da, do you believe what Zhu Jianping said?"

Sima Yi didn't know how to answer. In fact, Zhu Jianping was right, but...

"Are you afraid that his calculation will be inaccurate?" Sima Yi asked.

"I really think he's right. He said that my life expectancy is eighty. But... when I thought that according to what he said, you don't live as long as me, so I will die first, so I..."

How insecure you are.Sima Yi sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Zhen's carriage did not leave the palace, but came back again. Mrs. Zhen got out of the carriage, followed by servants, and then someone rushed into the carriage to arrest the two and prepare to ask Cao Cao for a reward.

But the two men died in the car.

No one knows why, only one possibility is that Mrs. Zhen killed them, but Mrs. Zhen insisted that she didn't even touch them, and she didn't know how they died.

It's not easy to get to the bottom of this matter, so we can only send people to deliver the corpses to Cao Cao's warriors in a daze, saying that Mr. Pi arranged for them to be arrested, and they committed suicide in the end.

Sima Yi never understood Guan Ren's last words and that half-smile expression.

Thousands of years have been enough for her to understand that in the past, there are destined karma and undestined people.

The author has something to say:

If you read carefully, this section contains a lot of information...

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he wrote a lot of four-character poems in Guan Ren's divination section, and the author also likes to write, so I came to join in the fun. I declare in advance that the divination content here is all original, and I will not be responsible for any mistakes.

If you play a game where everyone finds fault, how much content related to official history can you find in this section?

Zhu Jianping did not make a mistake in calculating Cao Pi's age. Cao Pi later lived forty, so if you are interested, you can find out what's going on.

In this section, Guan Ren and Zhu Jianping are both masters of "covering the secrets", and their answers to Cao Cao have subtext.

The question Sima Yi asked Guan Ren translated into vernacular is: If you can count yourself to eat KFC one day in the future, then you should count "I will count yourself to eat KFC" before, and before that You can count "I will count until I counted eating KFC", and so on. In principle, you can count things that happen in the infinite future.But in fact, the prophecy cannot be infinitely far, which is called the prophecy paradox.Then there is a hypothesis that can explain the prophecy paradox: In principle, it is indeed possible to predict infinity, but due to the capacity and calculation speed of the human brain (if the computer can also tell fortunes, we can add a computer), it is actually impossible to do this. Yes, if forced to calculate, the human brain will be exhausted. (The computer will crash due to data overflow) This is Guan Ren's answer to Sima Yi.

But isn't it fun?Because from the actions of Guan Ren, he has actually calculated everything, including that he will be killed, that is to say, the paradox has already happened to him... So, Guan Ren who divination Cao Cao, is it right? Normal management, this kind of problem, everyone thinks for themselves... This article is based on the route of historical complaints, spoofing and nonsense, not the fantasy route... You can't write too much about this kind of thing...

Guo Xu, Queen Guo, let Zhen's family ride with two big men, who were also Cao Cao's wanted criminals. Her intention was very insidious and profound...

Also, the appearance of Guan Ren... Well, tell me who still remembers Guan Xianting?As for whether Guan Ren died in the end, and what is the meaning of the last sentence of this section, it is still: Everyone thinks for themselves.It doesn't matter what the author said...
