"Brother Yizhen, is he Jiang Xiaobai the one you and I mentioned?"

Cai Yong looked up and down at Jiang Xiaobai: "What a handsome boy, but this name is a bit inappropriate and is easily criticized."

"What's wrong with my name?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's face showing confusion, Cai Yong explained to him that it turned out that there were many reforms when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and also involved names.

At that time, the law stipulated that two-character names were not allowed, only single characters, and two-character names were extremely disgraceful.

If someone commits a crime, he will be given a double-character name to show punishment.

Since then, people have developed the habit of taking single-character names, forming a trend that has continued to this day.

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

Only after Cai Yong's reminder did Jiang Xiaobai realize that everyone he met in the past had their names, with only him and Jiang Xiaohua being exceptions.

"Bo Yi, Han and the thief have no power. For the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty. The single-character decree issued that year had long lost its effectiveness, but this trend has not completely dissipated."

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Now that Your Majesty has changed the era of Zhongping, I hope that the people of the world can be renewed from now on. 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 and is an alternative, but in my eyes, he is the beginning of change. Today, the Han Dynasty is full of holes. After the Yellow Turban War, all the wastes are flourishing. It is just a need for a unique young man to change all this."

"I think Shuaizhi is a good candidate."

These words were earnest. Huangfu Song said to Cai Yong and Jiang Xiaobai. He made unparalleled contributions to suppressing the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans and was praised as the pillar of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong.

However, these cannot change the fact that he is over fifty years old.

In this era of 30 or 40 years old, Huangfu Song was considered an old age, and he was old.

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

"Brother Yizhen is right, it is Bo Ji who is obsessed with the old and does not know how to adapt."

Feeling Huangfu Song's deep intention, Cai Yong no longer cared about the name. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked with a smile: "Nephew, Brother Yizhen is a life-saving grace for me. You can call me Uncle in the future."

"Uncle!" Jiang Xiaobai was a little surprised.

Cai Yong was a very famous scholar of this era and a very famous scholar. He was talented, knowledgeable, proficient in music, good at calligraphy and painting, and was a true literary master.

If Huangfu Song is the most famous general among military generals, then Cai Yong is the most famous general in the literary world.

Cai Yong has countless dazzling halos, such as great writers, great calligraphers, great historians, great musicians, etc.

He is one of the rare generalist figures in history.

Such a person is now taking the initiative to extend an olive branch to Jiang Xiaobai.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai bowed and bowed deeply to Cai Yong: "Uncle Shi, please accept a bow from my nephew."

With Cai Yong as his great scholar as his backer, Jiang Xiaobai's career will be smooth, and with a famous teacher, it will also have many benefits for him to recruit famous scholars in the future.

In this era, I valued identity and fame. Yuan Shao cherished his life when encountering big things, and forgot his life when seeing small profits. With such mediocre talents, why did so many good ministers and generals be loyal to him? That's because his family was a three-time master in four generations and had a high reputation.

There is also Liu Bei, a man who has broken his shoes, why can he conquer Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, relying on him as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.

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

These are the bonuses brought by identity and fame.

Jiang Xiaobai, a commoner, had no status and status. Even if he had the ability, he would be looked down upon. Cao Cao was regarded as a humble person by the Han court because of his background.

The Eastern Han Dynasty emphasized literature and over military affairs, and the great literary scholars had a very high status.

It was precisely because he understood the value of this uncle that Jiang Xiaobai solemnly bowed to Cai Yong. Cai Yong did not avoid this, and he asked Jiang Xiaobai curiously.

"My nephew, what is your learning?"

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

Hearing this, Huangfu Song next to him smiled: "Bo Ji, Shuai's family is poor, so it's not easy to survive. How could he have learned anything?"

"I haven't read a book, so I can read it?" Cai Yong asked.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could speak, Cai Yong asked and answered: "I am confused. I think you are illiterate. Well, you will follow me in the future and I will teach you how to read the text."

"Uncle Shi, I actually read a few books myself, but I know a few words." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Then what words do you know?"

Cai Yong looked at Jiang Xiaobai curiously. After listening to his words, Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately turned dark.

Jiang Xiaobai: "???"

This old man is too much!

Next to him, Huangfu Song suggested: "It's better to do this. Shuaizhi. If you write a poem, Bo Yi has a great attainment in poetry, so you can also give me some advice."

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

"Then I'll be ugly."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes turned and he began to recite: "Whose jade flute flies in the dark, scattering into the cold wind, and hears the willows in this nocturne, and who doesn't have the love of his hometown?"

As soon as this poem was released, Huangfu Song was immediately shocked.

"What a poem, what a poem, what a poem you recited!"

Huangfu Song not only had great marches and wars, but also had excellent literary literacy. He could hear that Jiang Xiaobai's poem was extremely wonderful. The cold wind filled Luocheng, isn't it the current scene?

It was winter months, and the cold wind was filled with the night of Luoyang City.

This poem meets the situation.

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

Compared to Huangfu Song's excitement, Cai Yong seemed much calmer: "Nephew, your poem is good, but it gives me a very strange and awkward feeling. At first, it sounds fine, but after careful consideration, there are many obstacles. Can the cold wind and willows coexist?"

"The cold wind is the wind in winter, and the willows are the scenery in spring. The two are very inconsistent."

Cai Yong is worthy of being a master of the literary world. He instantly found the loopholes in this poem, and when he pointed it out directly, Jiang Xiaobai was very embarrassed.

But who have Jiang Xiaobai been afraid of!

With Jiang Xiaobai's unyielding nature, how could he let it go just like this?

"It's okay, I have many poems. You can choose whatever you want, and there is always one you can satisfy."

As he said that, Jiang Xiaobai began to chant: "I didn't know the moon when I was a child. I called it a white jade plate. I also suspected that the mirror of the Yaotai was flying in the blue clouds. The toad eroded the shadows. The night of the Han Dynasty was broken. Yi had fallen into nine blacks. The heavens and man were peaceful and peaceful. What was the worries about, and the hearts were heartbreaking."

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke word by word, Cai Yong was stunned. The reason why he pointed out the problem before was just to simply correct it.

Cai Yong did not expect that Jiang Xiaobai was so serious that he wrote a poem again, and this poem was clearly written by Jiang Xiaobai to the foolish Eastern Han court.

"What a toad that erodes the shadow, the man is dead at night!"

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 he was crafted, his future would be limitless.

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

This young man is a rough jade.
