"The Emperor, I believe, can serve as a symbol of the nation," Chen Xi said with a smile, leaving the interpretation of this symbol to others.
"A symbol of the nation?" Cao Cao repeated, then nodded silently.
"So, Cao Sikong, what do you think of the relationship between the nobility and the Emperor?" Chen Xi asked with a sly grin, believing that Liu Bei was also curious about this question. Furthermore, Chen Xi could guarantee that Liu Bei hadn't considered this aspect before.
"Just call me Mengde. The relationship between the nobility and the Emperor?" Cao Cao asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, the relationship between the nobility and the Emperor." Chen Xi responded with a smile, although his gaze also fell on Liu Bei, who was clearly in contemplation.
