Zhuge Mu's question shocked Cao Pi and he stood rooted to the spot.
Looking at Chen Qun in the mansion and then at Zhuge Mu who was leaving the mansion, Cao Pi could not help but be alert.
Between Chen Qun and Zhuge Mu…
Without any hesitation, he turned around and chased after Zhuge Mu.
"Huff huff!"
"Huff huff!"
When he reached the entrance of the manor, he saw Zhuge Mu, who was about to leave on his horse. Cao Pi did not know where his courage came from, but he opened his arms and stood in front of Zhuge Mu.
"Shu Zhi, please save me!"
At this moment, Cao Pi, who realized that he was in an extremely delicate situation, lost his usual composure.
He actually said something as ridiculous as "save him" in front of Zhuge Mu.
"Young Master, do you think I'm planning to abandon you?”
"Actually…"
"The reason why I haven't left yet is to wait for you here.”
Zhuge Mu said helplessly.
Hearing Zhuge Mu's words, Cao Pi was stunned.
Thinking back to the scene just now, Cao Pi was stunned to discover…
From the moment he saw Zhuge Mu outside the mansion to the moment he rushed to the front of the horse to block his way, Zhuge Mu did not make any movements to get on the horse.
From the beginning to the end, he was only stroking the saddle as if he was waiting for someone.
And that person was undoubtedly Cao Pi.
Noticing the look of realization in Cao Pi's eyes, Zhuge Mu knew that he had achieved the effect he wanted.
Only then did he say softly to Cao Pi,""Young Master, the one who can save you is not me, but yourself.”
"Among the many young masters of Lord Sikong, anyone can rope in the scholars under Sikong, but you can't! Because if you do that…"
"It will break the balance that Lord Sikong wants to maintain!”
"Just like I said to you, Lord Sikong can tolerate his son befriending generals and civil officials, but he can't have both.”
"Otherwise, why do you think Young Master Cao Zhi and Cao Chong have so many civil officials and no generals around them, and why do you think Young Master Cao Zhang has so many military officials around him? This was the result of Lord Sikong's intentional control.”
"This is also the reason why I immediately left your residence after seeing Chen Qun.”
Although Lord Sikong has not reprimanded you yet, if Young Master continues to violate Lord Sikong's bottom line for no reason, then…"
Zhuge Mu took a deep breath and said to Cao Pi,""I advise Young Master to leave Xu City as soon as possible and become a rich man. Otherwise, in the future, when other Young Masters ascend the throne, Young Master will lose your life for nothing.”
Zhuge Mu was not trying to scare Cao Pi.
Through these days of observation, Zhuge Mu discovered that if Cao Cao's other three sons, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Chong, inherited Cao Cao's position in the future, their performance might not be any better than Cao Pi, who forced Cao Zhi to write the Seven-Step Poem in history.
Cao Zhang was naturally filled with killing intent.
He, who advocated martial arts, would not be able to become a tyrant.
Just his irritable personality alone made him easy to be taken advantage of by people with ill intentions.
As for Cao Zhi, who had eight buckets of talent, he might not attack Cao Pi and his brothers.
However, behind Cao Zhi, the group of scholars represented by the Yang family of Hongnong would definitely not let Cao Pi live.
Just like Zhuge Mu in his previous life, he thought that Yang Xiu's death was because of a sentence that was of little value. It disturbed the morale of the army and caused a fatal disaster. However, after truly living in this era, he understood that the cruelty of reality was far from being explained by a sentence of little value.
Yang Xiu's death was most likely due to the actions of the scholar group represented by Yang Xiu, which caused Cao Cao to be dissatisfied, causing him to kill him.
Cao Chong? Zhuge Mu shook his head.
Zhuge Mu was the most fearful of this talented and intelligent twenty-fifth young master.
If Cao Chong didn't die…
If Cao Pi was compared to an ambitious man, then Cao Chong was his opposite.
A young hero.
Other than being extremely close to Zhou Buyi, Cao Chong had a good grasp of his relationship with both civil officials and generals.
That was fine.
More importantly…
A considerable portion of the Cao clan and Xiahou clan's younger generation disciples were on good terms with them.
Zhuge Mu didn't know if Zhou Buyi had given him any pointers, but this method of " saving the country through a roundabout route " was enough to make Zhuge Mu pay attention to Cao Chong.
Zhuge Mu felt that if Cao Pi failed, he would be imprisoned by Cao Chong for the rest of his life.
Beside him, Cao Pi clearly realized the seriousness of his actions.
His face was pale as he said to Zhuge Mu,""Shu Zhi, please give me some pointers!”
As he spoke, Cao Pi bowed to Zhuge Mu.
Looking at Cao Pi, Zhuge Mu smiled and mounted his horse.
"Young Master, there is no father who doesn't want his children to treat each other with respect!”
"Emperors are the heartless people in the world, but the people who cherish family ties the most are also emperors!”
"You might as well learn more from your former brother. As long as your position is not shaken, in the future, when Lord Sikong comes…you won't have to worry about the civil servants of the world not coming to serve you.”
"Young Master, why do you have to be so obsessed with a mere Yingchuan Chen Changwen?”
Zhuge Mu spoke very softly.
Only he and Cao Pi could hear it.
However, Zhuge Mu did not hide his voice at all when he said the last sentence," Why is Young Master so obsessed with a mere Yingchuan Chen Changwen?"
As he spoke, Zhuge Mu looked at Chen Qun who had appeared at the entrance of the manor.
"Am I right?"
"Chen Qun, Chen Changwen!"
Zhuge Mu sat on the back of his horse and looked down at Chen Qun with disdain.
No matter how capable he was of governing the world, Zhuge Mu would not be able to appreciate a person who could propose a nine-grade system in order to protect the interests of the aristocratic families.
Because the birth of the Nine-Grade Neutral System was a step backward in the social system.
The people who proposed such a system were inclined to the aristocratic families and did not put the interests of the world in their eyes.
Zhuge Mu did not believe that Chen Qun could not understand this.
But even so, he still brought it up to Cao Pi and used the power of the aristocratic families to force Cao Pi to compromise with them.
Just thinking about the scene of " no Frigid Families in the upper class and no World Clans in the lower class " made Zhuge Mu shudder.
Zhuge Mu felt that it was better to kick this kind of person away from Cao Pi, the future Emperor Wen of Wei.
"Hmph, what a good sentence!”
"Viceroy, don't you think that these words are a little arrogant?”
Chen Qun's face turned ashen.
No matter how good-tempered he was, he could not help but mock Zhuge Mu.
Faced with Chen Qun's ridicule, Zhuge Mu's lips curled up, and the disdain on his face grew even more intense.
"So what?"
"You…"
"What can you do to me?"
After saying that, he did not even look at Chen Qun and rode his horse away.
