"Eldest Brother, I really like Ke 'er. Why don't you let him stay by my side?”
Zhuge Mu's words sounded like he was just saying it casually, but the seriousness on his face stunned Zhuge Jin.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhuge Mu hoped to keep talents like Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Ke by his side.
He couldn't influence Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang's decision. After all, they had their own standards and rules for how they did things. However, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Ke, and the other descendants of the Zhuge family were different.
They had yet to form their own standards of judgment. Zhuge Mu could completely use his words and deeds to make their eyes transcend the shackles of the times and look at the struggle for power between the three countries at the end of the Han Dynasty.
He didn't want to take over the world one day.
Like the Sima Clan, the Zhuge Clan had staged the Rebellion of the Eight Princes.
If possible.
Zhuge Mu wanted to instill a basic concept in his descendants and all the members of the Zhuge family.
Want to be the king?
Alright!
However, it's not considered a skill for you to mess around on the Han family's land all day long.
If he really had the guts!
If he had the ability, he could go to the barbarians outside of China and be the ruler of the land.
Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Jun, who were standing at the side, turned solemn after hearing Zhuge Mu's words.
They understood.
Once his eldest brother Zhuge Jin, the current head of the Zhuge family, agreed to his third brother Zhuge Mu's request, then the Zhuge family would have a very long time to come…
or rather, after their generation, the next generation's attitude towards the vassals of the world would undergo a great change.
Zhuge Jin sized up Zhuge Mu, who had said this. He did not immediately express his opinion.
After a long while, Zhuge Jin shook his head and sighed."Third brother, elder brother knows that your ability is greater than mine, and your vision is also greater than mine!”
"However, no one can see the future clearly!”
"In addition…Since
your eldest brother has chosen to pledge allegiance to Wu Hou Sun Quan, I will never change my mind. Or do you want your big brother to betray his master?”
Zhuge Jin was filled with emotions, but the determination in his words made Zhuge Mu understand that his idea of keeping Zhuge Ke by his side had become a delusion.
This also made Zhuge Mu realize something.
In this chaotic era, there was a reason why aristocratic families could survive.
At least, before the general trend of the world was clear, the various aristocratic families who had placed their bets had no regrets. They had been using their lives to practice the loyalty and faith pursued by this era.
Because of this, political disagreements, conflicts between the same race, and killing each other on the battlefield were not rare.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it happened from time to time.
Under such circumstances.
With effort, there would naturally be gains.
As long as they didn't choose to gamble or have bad luck, Zhuge Mu really couldn't think of a reason for their decline.
If one of their bets was right, they would take off on the spot.
The Sima family that usurped Cao Wei was even more outrageous. Almost all of the outstanding talents in the family were beaten up by Cao Cao.
Therefore, as a repayment…the
Sima Clan stepped on Cao Wei's corpse and became the world's largest and most influential aristocratic family.
There was no one like him.
Suppressing the irrelevant thoughts in his heart, Zhuge Mu still wanted to say something to his brother Zhuge Jin.
Eldest brother, you and second brother are both wrong.
Only by betting the future of the Zhuge family on me can I accumulate more strength and rise up to overturn the world when the Zhuge family is on the verge of death.
Shaking his head, Zhuge Mu didn't say anything.
He patted Zhuge Ke's head and handed him over to his eldest brother Zhuge Jin.
"Brother, when do you plan to return to River East? I'll send you there!”
"I was going to tell you. It won't be long before big brother is ready to leave!”Zhuge Jin said.
"So urgent? Brother, don't you plan to stay in Xu City for a while longer?”
Zhuge Mu frowned at Zhuge Jin's reply. He thought that his words had triggered his brother's reaction.
Fortunately, Zhuge Jin's explanation calmed him down a little.
"Shuzhi, I packed my luggage this morning.”
"It has been ten days since we arrived in Xu City. If we continue to stay here, it will be difficult to explain to Wu Hou.”
Zhuge Jin gave his reason.
After listening to his elder brother Zhuge Jin's explanation, Zhuge Mu didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
"Good!"
After saying that, Zhuge Mu turned to look at his nephew Zhuge Ke, who still did not understand the reason.
"Ke 'er, since your father doesn't want you to stay with Third Uncle, how about Third Uncle personally pick you up from River East in the future?”
Zhuge Mu's words made Zhuge Ke overjoyed.
"Then Third Uncle, you must come early!”
"I will wait for you with my father, brother, and mother!”
The youth did not know the taste of sorrow, and the words he said made everyone present smile.
Zhuge Jin opened his mouth as he watched the conversation between his son and his brother, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Looking at his silent brother Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Mu, who understood his character, sighed softly in his heart.
He couldn't say anything else.
He only ordered the servants in the manor to prepare a carriage so that his eldest brother Zhuge Jin and nephew Zhuge Ke could leave.
Together.
Zhuge Mu also gave Zhuge Jin an extremely rare soft silk armor that could resist arrows, which he had exchanged from the Battle Merit Mall, before he left.
After all, the Battle of Red Cliff was less than a year away and would begin next year. He did not want anything to happen to his brother on the battlefield.
After sending Zhuge Jin off, Zhuge Mu looked at Zhuge Jun, who was temporarily staying in the mansion, and made a decision for him.
"Brother Jun, Big Brother is older than me, so I can't say anything!”
"As for you, if you don't stay here for ten days to half a month, don't even think about going back.”
However, this was only Zhuge Mu's wishful thinking.
On the seventh day of his wedding with Cao Jie, he received an appointment from the Imperial Court, urging him to rush to Yongling to take up his position in early September.
It was already August 11th, and there was less than half a month left.
In other words, after deducting the travel expenses, Zhuge Mu could only stay in Xu City for three to five days at most.
Under such circumstances, Zhuge Mu did not set off immediately.
Instead, he rushed to Sikong Manor first.
…
Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Mu, who had brought his daughter back home, and a hint of admiration flashed across his face.
"Not bad!"
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Shu Zhi, your temperament has become much more restrained. You won't blame me for ordering you to take up the post of Yongdi not long after you got married, right?”
Cao Cao said with a smile.
"My lord, serving the imperial court is my duty. How can I complain?”
Zhuge Mu's answer satisfied Cao Cao. He turned around and picked up a bamboo scroll from the table in front of him and handed it to Zhuge Mu.
"This is the list of officials around Chang 'an. You may take a look on the way.”
"Understanding this name list will be of great help to you in quickly securing your position as Governor Yong He.”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhuge Mu opened the bamboo slip and glanced at it.
What entered his eyes were two names that left a deep impression on him.
Jingzhao Yin Sima Lang, Si Li Colonel Zhong Yao.
Sensing the surprise in Zhuge Mu's eyes, Cao Cao picked up an imperial edict from the table and handed it to Zhuge Mu.
"You are the Governor of Yongling, but you only have a few thousand soldiers under your command.”
Looking at the imperial edict in front of him, Zhuge Mu immediately understood…that
this was the right to recruit soldiers that Cao Cao had given him.
"Aren't you going to unfold it?"
Cao Cao smiled as he looked at Zhuge Mu, who was keeping the imperial edict.
Hearing this, Zhuge Mu could only open it.
However…
when he saw the imperial edict allowing him to recruit 100,000 soldiers, he was shocked.
In his mind, recruiting 50,000 soldiers was the limit that Cao Cao would allow, but he never thought that Cao Cao would give up so much power.
Was it because she married Cao Jie?
At this moment, Zhuge Mu felt Cao Cao pat his shoulder.
"Shu Zhi!"
"The water in Chang 'an might not be as simple as you think!”
"A hundred thousand soldiers can stun the barbarians!”
"It might not be able to shock those invisible enemies.”
"I will allow you to do whatever you want in the west of the city. Especially the battle axe given to you by the emperor. Use it when you need to. Don't hesitate.”
Cao Cao's words were meaningful.
P.S. I beg for an automatic submission! "Eldest Brother, I really like Ke 'er. Why don't you let him stay by my side?”
Zhuge Mu's words sounded like he was just saying it casually, but the seriousness on his face stunned Zhuge Jin.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhuge Mu hoped to keep talents like Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Ke by his side.

Looking at his silent brother Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Mu, who understood his character, sighed softly in his heart.
He couldn't say anything else.
He only ordered the servants in the manor to prepare a carriage so that his eldest brother Zhuge Jin and nephew Zhuge Ke could leave.
Together.
Zhuge Mu also gave Zhuge Jin an extremely rare soft silk armor that could resist arrows, which he had exchanged from the Battle Merit Mall, before he left.
After all, the Battle of Red Cliff was less than a year away and would begin next year. He did not want anything to happen to his brother on the battlefield.
After sending Zhuge Jin off, Zhuge Mu looked at Zhuge Jun, who was temporarily staying in the mansion, and made a decision for him.
"Brother Jun, Big Brother is older than me, so I can't say anything!”
"As for you, if you don't stay here for ten days to half a month, don't even think about going back.”
However, this was only Zhuge Mu's wishful thinking.
On the seventh day of his wedding with Cao Jie, he received an appointment from the Imperial Court, urging him to rush to Yongling to take up his position in early September.
It was already August 11th, and there was less than half a month left.
In other words, after deducting the travel expenses, Zhuge Mu could only stay in Xu City for three to five days at most.
Under such circumstances, Zhuge Mu did not set off immediately.
Instead, he rushed to Sikong Manor first.
…
Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Mu, who had brought his daughter back home, and a hint of admiration flashed across his face.
"Not bad!"
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Shu Zhi, your temperament has become much more restrained. You won't blame me for ordering you to take up the post of Yongdi not long after you got married, right?”
Cao Cao said with a smile.
"My lord, serving the imperial court is my duty. How can I complain?”
Zhuge Mu's answer satisfied Cao Cao. He turned around and picked up a bamboo scroll from the table in front of him and handed it to Zhuge Mu.
"This is the list of officials around Chang 'an. You may take a look on the way.”
"Understanding this name list will be of great help to you in quickly securing your position as Governor Yong He.”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhuge Mu opened the bamboo slip and glanced at it.
What entered his eyes were two names that left a deep impression on him.
Jingzhao Yin Sima Lang, Si Li Colonel Zhong Yao.
Sensing the surprise in Zhuge Mu's eyes, Cao Cao picked up an imperial edict from the table and handed it to Zhuge Mu.
"You are the Governor of Yongling, but you only have a few thousand soldiers under your command.”
Looking at the imperial edict in front of him, Zhuge Mu immediately understood…that
this was the right to recruit soldiers that Cao Cao had given him.
"Aren't you going to unfold it?"
Cao Cao smiled as he looked at Zhuge Mu, who was keeping the imperial edict.
Hearing this, Zhuge Mu could only open it.
However…
when he saw the imperial edict allowing him to recruit 100,000 soldiers, he was shocked.
In his mind, recruiting 50,000 soldiers was the limit that Cao Cao would allow, but he never thought that Cao Cao would give up so much power.
Was it because she married Cao Jie?
At this moment, Zhuge Mu felt Cao Cao pat his shoulder.
"Shu Zhi!"
"The water in Chang 'an might not be as simple as you think!”
"A hundred thousand soldiers can stun the barbarians!”
"It might not be able to shock those invisible enemies.”
"I will allow you to do whatever you want in the west of the city. Especially the battle axe given to you by the emperor. Use it when you need to. Don't hesitate.”
Cao Cao's words were meaningful.
P.S. I beg for an automatic submission! "Eldest Brother, I really like Ke 'er. Why don't you let him stay by my side?”
Zhuge Mu's words sounded like he was just saying it casually, but the seriousness on his face stunned Zhuge Jin.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhuge Mu hoped to keep talents like Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Ke by his side.
He couldn't influence Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang's decision. After all, they had their own standards and rules for how they did things. However, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Ke, and the other descendants of the Zhuge family were different.
They had yet to form their own standards of judgment. Zhuge Mu could completely use his words and deeds to make their eyes transcend the shackles of the times and look at the struggle for power between the three countries at the end of the Han Dynasty.
He didn't want to take over the world one day.
Like the Sima Clan, the Zhuge Clan had staged the Rebellion of the Eight Princes.
If possible.
Zhuge Mu wanted to instill a basic concept in his descendants and all the members of the Zhuge family.
Want to be the king?
Alright!
However, it's not considered a skill for you to mess around on the Han family's land all day long.
If he really had the guts!
If he had the ability, he could go to the barbarians outside of China and be the ruler of the land.
Zhuge Dan and Zhuge Jun, who were standing at the side, turned solemn after hearing Zhuge Mu's words.
They understood.
Once his eldest brother Zhuge Jin, the current head of the Zhuge family, agreed to his third brother Zhuge Mu's request, then the Zhuge family would have a very long time to come…
or rather, after their generation, the next generation's attitude towards the vassals of the world would undergo a great change.
Zhuge Jin sized up Zhuge Mu, who had said this. He did not immediately express his opinion.
After a long while, Zhuge Jin shook his head and sighed."Third brother, elder brother knows that your ability is greater than mine, and your vision is also greater than mine!”
"However, no one can see the future clearly!”
"In addition…Since
your eldest brother has chosen to pledge allegiance to Wu Hou Sun Quan, I will never change my mind. Or do you want your big brother to betray his master?”
Zhuge Jin was filled with emotions, but the determination in his words made Zhuge Mu understand that his idea of keeping Zhuge Ke by his side had become a delusion.
This also made Zhuge Mu realize something.
In this chaotic era, there was a reason why aristocratic families could survive.
At least, before the general trend of the world was clear, the various aristocratic families who had placed their bets had no regrets. They had been using their lives to practice the loyalty and faith pursued by this era.
Because of this, political disagreements, conflicts between the same race, and killing each other on the battlefield were not rare.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it happened from time to time.
Under such circumstances.
With effort, there would naturally be gains.
As long as they didn't choose to gamble or have bad luck, Zhuge Mu really couldn't think of a reason for their decline.
If one of their bets was right, they would take off on the spot.
The Sima family that usurped Cao Wei was even more outrageous. Almost all of the outstanding talents in the family were beaten up by Cao Cao.
Therefore, as a repayment…the
Sima Clan stepped on Cao Wei's corpse and became the world's largest and most influential aristocratic family.
There was no one like him.
Suppressing the irrelevant thoughts in his heart, Zhuge Mu still wanted to say something to his brother Zhuge Jin.
Eldest brother, you and second brother are both wrong.
Only by betting the future of the Zhuge family on me can I accumulate more strength and rise up to overturn the world when the Zhuge family is on the verge of death.
Shaking his head, Zhuge Mu didn't say anything.
He patted Zhuge Ke's head and handed him over to his eldest brother Zhuge Jin.
"Brother, when do you plan to return to River East? I'll send you there!”
"I was going to tell you. It won't be long before big brother is ready to leave!”Zhuge Jin said.
"So urgent? Brother, don't you plan to stay in Xu City for a while longer?”
Zhuge Mu frowned at Zhuge Jin's reply. He thought that his words had triggered his brother's reaction.
Fortunately, Zhuge Jin's explanation calmed him down a little.
"Shuzhi, I packed my luggage this morning.”
"It has been ten days since we arrived in Xu City. If we continue to stay here, it will be difficult to explain to Wu Hou.”
Zhuge Jin gave his reason.
After listening to his elder brother Zhuge Jin's explanation, Zhuge Mu didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
"Good!"
After saying that, Zhuge Mu turned to look at his nephew Zhuge Ke, who still did not understand the reason.
"Ke 'er, since your father doesn't want you to stay with Third Uncle, how about Third Uncle personally pick you up from River East in the future?”
Zhuge Mu's words made Zhuge Ke overjoyed.
"Then Third Uncle, you must come early!”
"I will wait for you with my father, brother, and mother!”
The youth did not know the taste of sorrow, and the words he said made everyone present smile.
Zhuge Jin opened his mouth as he watched the conversation between his son and his brother, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Looking at his silent brother Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Mu, who understood his character, sighed softly in his heart.
