Huan Yixuan was sixteen years old, and his father was Huan Bin, the founding general of the Southern Dynasty.

For Yixuan, his father has always been a lingering shadow in his mind. It was the real source of his depression. When he was only twelve years old, his father died.

In addition to the unforgettable pain caused by his father's death, there was also the marriage of Emperor Wu.

One day, Emperor Wu came to the early dynasty, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to congratulate him. The head of the palace shouted, "Those who have something to hear! ”

I saw a person coming out of the class, it was Qin Tianjian Chen Gong.

After worshipping, he said, "When I watched the dry elephant at night, I saw that there was a different star between the Beidou and the South Pole, and its brilliance was not reduced by two stars, indicating that there would be a wise man descending in our dynasty." The minister also boldly speculated that the emperor is the son of heaven, and the genius from heaven must have a dream. ”

After speaking, he looked at the old eunuch beside the emperor and smiled. No one saw it.

After Emperor Wu heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed and praised, "Chen Aiqing really expected things like a god, I did have a dream last night, and I dreamed of the general Huan Aiqing who had just passed away. ”

Then began to remember the difficult years when he fought the world with Huan Bin, and the ministers all sighed when they heard it, and regretted the untimely death of General Huan.

And Emperor Wu said with a sad face, "I and Huan Aiqing fought this great country side by side, but I didn't expect him to go first, and I can't help but feel sorry when I think about it!" ”

After a pause, he asked, "I don't know what the celestial phenomena Chen Aiqing said have to do with my dreams?" ”

Chen Gong had already calculated in his heart, and calmly replied, "The minister also saw the starfall last night, its light is like day, representing the unfortunate death of General Huan, but the other star appeared behind it, then it must be related to General Huan, according to the minister's bold speculation, the virtuous person must be the son of General Huan." ”

"I see," Emperor Wu's eyes emitted a strange light, "After Huan Aiqing's death, he left only one son, the name of Xuan, but I haven't seen him with my own eyes, I don't know how he learned martial arts, can he be called a virtuous talent?" ”

Chen Gongdao, "General Huan is a generation of Confucian generals, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. The minister wants the tiger father to have no dogs, although Huan Yixuan is still young, and his martial arts may not be as good as his father, but Wenmo has been studied since childhood, why doesn't the emperor try him in person to see if he has Wentao? ”

Emperor Wu nodded, and immediately sent someone to Zhao Huan Yi to enter the temple for the holy test.

At this time, Yixuan was still taking Ma Xiao, and at the age of twelve, he was able to calm down when he saw the majestic palace. He walked to the front of the hall in a muffled voice, knelt down unhurriedly, bowed to Emperor Wu, and then remained silent.

When the old eunuch who had led him in the evening saw this, he hurriedly bent down and told him how to sing the lyrics. He listened very carefully word for word, but he was still indifferent, and glared at the old eunuch fiercely. Seeing this, Emperor Wu turned his head away, and there was already a slight look of disgust in his eyes.

After being quiet for a long time, he continued, "Don't be polite!" There was a sense of boredom in his tone.

Yixuan actually raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Wu, who was displeased, and said coldly, "Today, I want to test your talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and you can choose one." ”

Yixuan looked at Emperor Wu's eyes again, and said uncontrollably, "I don't know all of them, forgive me!" ”

It turns out that he has a habit of not being very popular, no matter who he talks to, he likes to look into the eyes of others, and most people will make him uncomfortable.

"What a guts!" Some of the ministers in the palace snorted.

He dared to resist the decree and disrespect, and the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty gasped. For the sake of his father's face, Emperor Wu suppressed his anger and said, "Then what have you learned since you were a child?" Your dignified son of the founding father can't help but learn nothing, right? ”

Yixuan calmly replied, "Recently, I learned pottery. ”

Emperor Wu was disdainful and said, "These are the things that those lowly masons do, how can you learn them after you are in charge?" ”

Yi Xuan replied, "I want to learn." That was the end of the sentence, without much explanation.

Emperor Wu waited for him for a long time, wanting to listen to his explanation, but after not seeing him snort for a long time, he flicked his sleeves, "That's it!" Stand down! ”

Yixuan turned around and left.

At this time, Chen Gong hurriedly hid, he originally thought that if there was a father, there would be a son, Huan Yixuan should be as civil and military as his father, and after hearing the old eunuch say that the emperor had a strange dream last night, he made up this astrological phenomenon to ask for merit and reward. Fortunately, Emperor Wu was so angry with Yixuan that he forgot to hold him accountable.

After Yixuan left, Emperor Wu looked disappointed, "Poor Huan Aiqing, who has worked hard with me for most of his life, but after his death, he has no good son to carry forward the lintel for him, alas! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there is a way to help Huan Aiqing? ”

At this time, Wang Liangyu, the imperial historian, came out of work, and Prime Minister Cai Heng immediately glanced at him. This Wang Liangyu is his biggest political enemy in the court, so I am worried that he will take this opportunity to come up with some tricks to rectify himself. I saw Wang Liangyu worship and say, "The minister has a law, which can make Huan Yixuan a manufacturable material." ”

Emperor Wu Dayue asked, "Wang Aiqing, please come quickly!" ”

Wang Liangyu said, "Although Yixuan is not talented, as long as he finds an internal help with both talent and morality, he can change, and from then on he will adopt his heart and enter the right path." ”

Emperor Wu pondered, then nodded and said, "Well, what Wang Aiqing said is reasonable, it's just that where do I want to find a woman who is both talented and virtuous, and can match him?" ”

Wang Liangyu said, "Have you forgotten that Prime Minister Cai Cheng recommended his daughter to the emperor some time ago, saying that his daughter was a scholar, and she often compared herself to Cai Wenji and Xie Daoyun in the boudoir, and also presented her poems to the emperor." ”

Emperor Wu suddenly remembered, "If it weren't for Wang Aiqing's reminder, I would have almost forgotten." ”

Cai Heng had already secretly scolded: "Wang Liangpifu! You don't have to die well! ”

Originally, he recommended his daughter to Emperor Wu for the prince's choice of a concubine, but at that time, Emperor Wu suddenly changed his mind and said that the prince was still young and would wait for two years to discuss the matter of establishing a concubine. And at this time, Wang Liangyu actually brought this matter up, didn't he clearly want to see his daughter become the crown princess?

In the eyes of the world, Huan Bin's family has won the favor of Emperor Wu, if it weren't for the good performance of Yixuan in front of Emperor Wu that he saw with his own eyes just now, at least he would have thought that if he let his daughter marry Huan Yixuan, she would have no shortage of glory and wealth in her life. But what kind of person Huan Yixuan is now, Cai Heng already has a bottom in his heart. Although relying on his dead father, Emperor Wu would not embarrass him because of his rudeness, but after a long time, how could Emperor Wu still remember the deceased heroes who had created a great cause with him?

And Yixuan has no talent to learn, and it is impossible to enter the scholar with the imperial examination. What's even more ridiculous is that he also learned to make pottery from those lowly masons, which is simply too unusual, and he lost his father's face as a generation of famous generals.

Just thinking about it, Emperor Wu's eyes had already fallen on Cai Heng's body, and he said, "I have forgotten the name of Cai Aiqing's beloved daughter, please tell Cai Aiqing." ”

Cai Heng said, "It's called Cai Ni, the emperor." ”

Emperor Wu nodded, "Well, I remember the poem that Cai Aiqing presented to me, and it was really neat and elegant, which was inexhaustible!" ”

Cai Heng said, "Emperor Xie praises falsely, it's just a bad work among the little girls, and the slang of children is really ashamed." ”

Wang Liangyu snorted in a low voice and said to Cai Heng, "If I'm not mistaken, when the poem was presented that day, the prime minister didn't say that!" ”

Cai Heng was speechless, and Emperor Wu saw it in his eyes.

"Cai Aiqing doesn't have to be too modest, I know in my heart that I will pass down the decree and order you to marry your daughter to Huan Yixuan as your wife, and the marriage date will be after your daughter's ceremony. Give your daughter the name of a talented woman, and in the future, you must abide by the way of women and be a good husband! ”

The Son of Heaven Chrysostom said that as soon as these words came out, the marriage of Huan Yixuan and Cai Ni was decided.
