"Brother Yizhen, is he the Jiang Xiaobai you mentioned to me?"

Cai Yong looked Jiang Xiaobai up and down: "What a handsome young man, it's just that this name is a little inappropriate, and it is easy to be criticized." ”

"What's wrong with my name?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's puzzled face, Cai Yong explained that it turned out that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, there had been many reforms, and the name was also involved.

At that time, the law did not allow the use of two-character names, only single words, and two-character names were extremely dishonorable.

If someone commits a crime, they are given a two-character name as a punishment.

Since then, people have had the habit of taking one-word names, and a custom has been formed that continues to this day.

"There are so many taboos about choosing a name." Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly.

After Cai Yong's reminder, Jiang Xiaobai realized that all the names he met in the past were single words, only he and Jiang Xiaohua were exceptions.

"Bo Hao, the Han and the thief are incompatible, for the Han, Wang Mang is the rebellious minister and thief who usurped the Han, and the one-word order issued back then has long lost its effectiveness, but this trend has not completely dispersed."

Huangfu Song smiled and said: "Now that Your Majesty has changed Yuan Zhongping, I hope that the people of the world can take on a new look from now on, but I think it is better to start with the name and change it." ”

"The name Jiang Xiaobai is not very glorious in the eyes of others, it is an alternative, but in my eyes, he is the beginning of change, today's Han Dynasty is full of holes, and after the Yellow Turban War, it is in need of a different young man to change all this."

"I think Shuai Zhi is a good candidate."

These words are long-focused, Huangfu Song said to Cai Yong, but also to Jiang Xiaobai, he made immortal contributions to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban, and was praised as the pillar stone of the Han Dynasty by Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling.

However, these cannot change the fact that he is over half a hundred years old.

In this era of average age of thirty or forty years old, Huangfu Song can be regarded as an advanced age, and he is old.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Huangfu Song trained Jiang Xiaobai as his successor, hoping that he could support the Han family and make a difference.

"Brother Yizhen is right, it's Bo Ji who is stuck in the old and doesn't know how to change it."

Feeling Huangfu Song's deep intentions, Cai Yong didn't care about the name anymore, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, Brother Yizhen has the grace to save my life, you can call me Uncle Shi in the future." ”

"Shibo!" Jiang Xiaobai was a little surprised.

Cai Yong is a very famous scribe of this era, is a very famous Confucian, he is talented, knowledgeable, proficient in music and rhythm, good at calligraphy and painting, is a real literary master.

If Huangfu Song is the premier general among the generals, then Cai Yong is the premier bull in the literary world.

Cai Yong has countless dazzling halos, such as great writers, great calligraphers, great historians, great musicians and so on......

He is a rare generalist in history,

Such a person actually took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Jiang Xiaobai right now.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai bowed down to Cai Yong and bowed deeply: "Uncle Shi, please accept the little nephew." ”

With Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the world, as his backer, Jiang Xiaobai's career will be smooth, and there will be famous teachers, which will also have many benefits for him to recruit celebrities in the future.

This era is very particular about identity and fame, Yuan Shao regrets his life when he encounters major events, and forgets his life when he sees small profits, just this kind of mediocrity, why there are so many good ministers and famous generals under his command to be loyal, it is because his family is the fourth and third dukes, and he has a high reputation.

There is also Liu Bei, a person who tinkers with broken shoes, why he was able to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei depends on the fact that he is King Jing of Zhongshan.

and, the golden title of Emperor Uncle of the Han Dynasty.

These are the dividends that come with status and fame.

Jiang Xiaobai is clothier, he has no status, even if he has the ability, he will be looked down upon, Cao Cao is because of his background, and he is regarded as inferior by the courtiers of the Han court.

The Eastern Han Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and the status of literary Confucianism was very high.

It is precisely because he understands the gold content of this sound that Jiang Xiaobai will solemnly salute Cai Yong, in this regard, Cai Yong did not shy away, he asked Jiang Xiaobai curiously.

"Virtuous nephew, what are you studying?"

This is to ask Jiang Xiaobai what books he has read and what he has studied.

Hearing this, the emperor next to him smiled: "Uncle, Shuai Zhi's family is poor, it is not easy to survive, how can he ever learn." ”

"If you haven't read, can you be literate?" Cai Yong asked.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could speak, Cai Yong asked and answered himself: "It's me who is confused, I think you are illiterate, so you can follow me in the future, and I will teach you to read and break words." ”

"Shibo, in fact, I have read a few books, but I also know a few words." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"And what words do you know?"

Cai Yong looked at Jiang Xiaobai curiously, and listening to his words, Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately darkened.

Jiang Xiaobai: "??? ”

This old man has gone too far!

Next to him, Huang Fu Song proposed: "It's better to be like this, Shuaizhi, you write a poem, Bo Jiao's attainments in poetry are quite high, and you can also give you a point." ”

"Very good." Cai Yong said with a smile.

"Then I'll be ugly."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth to recite: "Whose jade flute is flying darkly, scattered into the cold wind all over Los Angeles, this nocturne smells the willows, who can't afford the love of the old garden." ”

As soon as this poem came out, Huangfu Song was immediately stunned.

"Good poem, good poem, handsome you chant a good poem!"

Huangfu Song not only marches and fights well, but also has good literary qualities, he can hear that Jiang Xiaobai's poem is wonderful, and the cold wind is all over Los Angeles, isn't it the current scene.

It was the winter moon, and Luoyang City was filled with cold winds at night.

"It's a good poem, but it's ......"

Compared with Huangfu Song's excitement, Cai Yong was much calmer: "Virtuous nephew, your poem is good, but it feels very strange and awkward to the old man, it sounds okay at first glance, but there are many inconsistencies when you think about it carefully, can the cold wind and the willow coexist?" ”

"The cold wind is the wind of winter, and the willow is the scenery of spring, and the two are very incompatible."

Cai Yong deserves to be a big man in the literary world, and he instantly found the loophole in this poem, and he pointed it out directly, which made Jiang Xiaobai very embarrassed.

But who was Jiang Xiaobai afraid of!

With Jiang Xiaobai's unyielding temperament, how could he just give up.

"It's okay, I have a lot of poems, Shibo, you can pick whatever you want, there is always one you can be satisfied with."

Saying that, Jiang Xiaobai began to chant: "I don't know the moon when I am young, I call it a white jade plate, and I suspect that the Yaotai mirror, flying in the blue clouds, the toad erodes the round shadow, the night of the Han Dynasty is gone, the Yi Xi has fallen into nine blacks, the heavens and people are clear and safe, ** This is confused, go to the lack of view, worry about how it is, sad and devastating." ”

As Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth word by word, Cai Yong was dumbfounded, the reason why he pointed out the problem before was just to simply correct it.

Cai Yong didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to be so serious that he would compose a poem again, and this poem clearly showed that Jiang Xiaobai wrote it to the dim-witted Eastern Han court.

"What a toad has eroded the round shadow, and the night of the Han is gone!"

Cai Yong looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise, as if he was looking at a treasure, Jiang Xiaobai could have this literary talent without a famous teacher, if it was carved, the future would be limitless.

At this moment, Cai Yong finally knew why Huangfu Song liked Jiang Xiaobai so much, and why he cultivated this young man as a successor.

This young man is a piece of jade.

With a little polishing, it can bloom with dazzling brilliance.
