Cao Cao and Chen Mu chatted happily.
From analyzing the situation of the world, to local governance, to military strategies, and so on.
They chatted until dawn. Seeing that Chen Mu was tired, Cao Cao finally stopped the conversation and sent someone to send Chen Mu to the guest room to rest.
However, Cao Cao was not sleepy.
The longer he chatted with Chen Mu, the more pressure Cao Cao felt.?
"Just as Wen Ruo said, Chen Mu's unconventional sword is not tolerated by the secular world!”
"Liu Bei, that bastard, betraying Jing Lue is indeed detestable, but it also has something to do with his lack of courage.”
"Jing has the talent of Shang Jun, but Liu Bei does not have the talent of Qin Xiao Gong!”
"But I, Cao Cao, am different!"
"The more talented you are, the more courageous I am!”
"The troubles of the aristocratic families are like floods and ferocious beasts. If we can't suppress them, they will definitely be promoted to a powerful family as Jing Lue predicted!”
"There are no Humble Families in the upper ranks, and no Nobles in the lower ranks. This is even more terrifying than selling official positions!”
Cao Cao closed his eyes and recalled his conversation with Chen Mu at night.
However, regarding Chen Mu's appointment, Cao Cao was in a dilemma!
She was afraid that Chen Mu would not take a fancy to her if her position was too small.?
He was afraid that people would not be convinced if he had a higher position.
Although Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Lu Qian, and the others had different positions, they would not be unconvinced by each other.
This was because this group of people had originally recommended each other.
Between scholars who were friends, why would they care about the difference in official positions?
However, Chen Mu was different.
He was born in a commoner's clothing, was once a Yellow Turban, and had the battle record of offending the aristocratic families and almost being jointly banned.
This would more or less cause the scholars under Cao Cao to reject Chen Mu.
Even Xun Yu, who was a gentle gentleman, was cautious of Chen Mu at all times. He felt that Chen Mu was too radical and could be used but not to a large extent!
"My son, why are you so upset?"
While he was thinking, Cao Song arrived.
Cao Cao sighed and told Cao Song about his doubts.
Cao Song laughed." I used to be smart when I was a child. How can I be so unwise now?"”
"The scholars of these counties may betray you, but the people of the clan will never betray you.”
"However, in the clan, most of them are boorish men who wield spears and sticks, or people like me who do business and earn money. There are very few people like you who like to read.”
"In the clan, there aren't many people who know how to use their brains. You're not like Yuan Shao, who has four generations and three dukes.”
"This is also the reason why I didn't agree with you to fight against Dong Zhuo.”
"But now that you've been fooling around for a few years and have become the herdsman of Yanzhou, I know that I can't persuade you. Therefore, I've transferred all the wealth of Langya's family to Yanzhou for you to recruit troops!”
"Consider it my support as a father!”
Cao Song was fat, and after talking for a while, he was panting.
Cao Cao helped Cao Song sit down and listened to his teachings.
Cao Song continued," Look at you. You have a lot of sons, but your daughter is too young. If you had a daughter earlier, she would be an adult by now. Then, you could take Chen Mu in as your son-in-law, and everything would be solved."”
Cao Cao said nothing.
It was not up to him to decide on his children!
"Father, are you asking me to choose a gentle and virtuous person from the clan?”
"It's inappropriate!" Cao Song shook his head." I remember that Cai Bo's daughter, Cai Yan, has returned to Chen Liu, right?"”
Cao Cao nodded." In the past, Dong Zhuo coveted Mr. Bo's daughter Cai Yan, and I had a good relationship with Mr. Bo. So, I helped Mr. Bo's marriage with the Wei family of the east of the river and married him to Wei Zhongdao.”
"Unfortunately, Wei Zhongdao died early and Cai Yan was seen as a jinx by the Wei family and was chased out.”
"Cai Yan originally wanted to go to Chang 'an, but on the way, he heard that Mr. Bo was killed by Wang Yun and was lonely and helpless.”
"At that time, I couldn't even protect myself and couldn't take care of him, so I asked my good friend Zhang Miao to let Cai Yan stay in Mister Bo Xin's former residence temporarily.”
"Father, are you asking Chen Mu to marry Cai Yan?”
"However, Cai Yan is seen as a jinx. If I let Chen Mu marry Cai Yan, wouldn't that make Chen Mu think that I'm hoping for him to die early?”
"This is inappropriate! It's inappropriate!"
Although…
Cao Cao didn't really believe in the appearance of a jinx.
However, gossip was a terrible thing. If Chen Mu misunderstood, wouldn't he be driven away in anger?
I came to seek refuge with you, but you wish for me to die early?
Anyone would leave in anger!
"Chen Mu is an extraordinary person. He won't believe such groundless words!" Cao Song said with a smile.”
"Allowing Chen Mu to marry Cai Yan is also a way to protect and trust Chen Mu.”
"Cai Bo Xin had many students and old officials back then, and his other daughter married Yang Xin from Taishan County.”
"With this layer of relationship, even if Chen Mu does something that is not tolerated by the secular world in the future, there is still room for mediation!”
"My son is also indebted to Cai Bo Xin. From now on, Chen Mu's relationship with my son will be similar to that of the Cao and Xiahou families.”
"With so many benefits, how could they harm Chen Mu and hope for his early death?”
"Moreover, Chen Mu has yet to get married, and Cai Yan is beautiful and talented. Even though he has married someone once, the flaws do not obscure his beauty. Moreover, Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao do not have any children. Who knows if Wei Zhongdao is a good man?”
"Father, you've gone too far!" Cao Cao coughed lightly. That Wei family, at least they helped me raise an army?”
"Help you raise an army? Haha!" "That Wei family really thinks highly of you, why would they expel Cai Yan?" Cao Song said disdainfully. Will he stop helping you after Wei Zi dies? What do you want me to say about you? How could the people of the Wei family think highly of us, the descendants of eunuchs?”
"How did I say that?"
Cao Song seemed to be very unhappy with the Wei family. He probably suffered a lot of grievances in his early years. The more he said, the more ridiculous it was.
"If you feel that it's not appropriate for you to step forward for this matter, I will help you settle it. Tell me Cai Yan's residence and I will personally make a trip to Chen Liu!”
