Liu Hao and Wei Zhongdao were kneeling in front of two tables. There was paper, ink, brush, and inkstone on the tables.
In this era, paper was rare and expensive. Only the rich could afford it.
"Since you're here to propose marriage, write an article about Yan 'er.”Cai Yong said.
Liu Hao thought for a while and knew what to write. Although his literary talent was not good, he had the wisdom of his descendants for more than 1,000 years. He could easily copy a famous work and kill Wei Zhongdao.
Seeing that Liu Hao had already started to write, Wei Zhongdao was slightly anxious. However, when he saw that Liu Hao had not finished writing, he became happy.
"He must be writing Fu. In such a short time, he definitely can't write any good Fu.”Wei Zhongdao thought to himself.
Liu Hao naturally didn't know what Wei Zhongdao was thinking. If he knew, he would scoff.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Hao stopped writing, and Wei Zhongdao stopped writing at the same time.
"Who wants to go first?" Cai Yong said, meaning to read out the article he had written.
"I'll go first!" Liu Hao said directly.”
"Alright, Mingyu, you go first.”Cai Yong was very interested in Liu Hao's Fu.
"Its shape is as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums shine brightly, and the spring pines flourish. Like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning snow."
As soon as Liu Hao's voice sounded, Cai Yong and Cai Yan were attracted by Liu Hao's Fu.
Cai Yan blushed and thought to himself,"Am I that good in Brother Mingyu's heart?”
"The earth is white, and the hands are on the divine lake. I like her beauty, but my heart is not happy. No good matchmaker to meet you, oh, to pass the word with a wave."
Liu Hao continued to read aloud. He used an Ode to the Luo God on Cai Yan.
When Liu Hao finished reading, Cai Yan and Cai Yong finally came back to their senses.
"Good, good, good!" Cai Yong said the word 'good' three times in a row, looking at Cai Yong excitedly.
Cai Yan lowered his head at this time and did not dare to look at Liu Hao at all.
At this moment, Wei Zhongdao was clenching his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. The poem he had written himself had already been crumpled into a ball by him.
Not to mention that writing Fu was much more difficult than writing poetry, even in terms of quality, the poem he wrote was far inferior to Liu Hao's Fu.
"Impossible. How could you have written such a good Fu in such a short time?”Wei Zhongdao roared as if he had gone mad.
Seeing Wei Zhongdao like this, Cai Yong frowned slightly. With Wei Zhongdao's temperament, he wouldn't feel at ease handing Cai Yan over to Wei Zhongdao.
"You must have cheated. You wrote this poem long ago.”Wei Zhongdao continued to shout.
"If you can't write it yourself, don't think that other people are like you. The questions were given by Mr. Bo Meng at the last minute.”Liu Hao said disdainfully.
Although this "Ode to the Luo God" was plagiarized, but now, the "Ode to the Luo God" was not written at all. Who could say that he plagiarized it?
"Then do you dare to compete with me again to prove that you didn't plagiarize?”
"Why not? True gold fears no fire. Today, I'll make you admit your defeat wholeheartedly.”Liu Hao said fearlessly. He turned around and said to Cai Yong,"Mister Bo Tong, please give me another question.”
Cai Yong thought for a while and said,""Let's use your ambitions as the topic. If you want to marry my daughter, you have to make a name for yourself.”
"This time, I want to see if you can write as good an ode as before in a short period of time.”Wei Zhongdao looked at Liu Hao sinisterly. He said this to make Liu Hao write Fu, not poetry.
Cai Yan heard Wei Zhongdao's words and looked at Liu Hao worriedly. Such a good Fu could be considered a masterpiece of the ages. How could it be casually written?
Feeling Cai Yan's gaze, Liu Hao gave a reassuring look.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just write it verbally.”
Liu Hao looked at Wei Zhongdao with disdain. It was more difficult to write directly verbally than before. After all, he could make some changes when he wrote on paper.
" I'm so angry that my hair stands on its crown. Leaning against the railing, the rain stops. He raised his eyes and let out a long howl towards the sky, full of vigor. Thirty years of fame and fortune, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road clouds and months. Don't be idle, white-haired young people, empty grief and ambition hungry to eat Hu Krupp meat, laugh and talk thirsty to drink Xiongnu blood. Wait to start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, look up to the sky.”
Liu Hao recited a section of " The River is Red " in a very fluent manner. He even thought about it a little, and it seemed like he had really written it on the spot.
"Ambition to eat the meat of Hu Krupp, laughing and drinking the blood of Xiongnu. Well written!" Cai Yong said excitedly. Even a scholar like him felt his blood boil after hearing Liu Hao's 'River Full of Red'.
"How is this possible? This is impossible!”Wei Zhongdao couldn't believe it. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Carry your young master away. My daughter is about to be engaged to Mingyu, and the engagement between our families is invalid.”Seeing Wei Zhongdao's attitude, Cai Yong's expression didn't look good at all.
If Liu Hao had not appeared, he would have harmed his daughter for the rest of her life.
When the servants brought by Wei Zhongdao heard Cai Yong's words, they lifted Wei Zhongdao up and left.
"Wait, take these two chests of jewelry and gold with you.”
A few servants turned around and carried the two boxes away.
Soon, only Liu Hao, Cai Yan, and Cai Yong were left in the room.
"Mr. Bo Meng!"
"You still call me Mister Bo Tong?" Cai Yong looked at Liu Hao with a smile, completely different from the way he looked at Wei Zhongdao.
Liu Hao was slightly stunned and changed his words."Father-in-law!"
"Mingyu, who else is in your family? Why did you come to Luoyang this time?”Cai Yong knew nothing about Liu Hao's family background. Now that he had decided to marry his daughter to Liu Hao, he naturally had to understand this.
"I am the descendant of King Yi of Jiang Du. I am the only one left in the family. I came to Luoyang this time to seek an official position.”Liu Hao said.
"Mingyu is actually a relative of the Han clan. It seems that my daughter is climbing up the social ladder.”Cai Yong said with a smile. He originally thought that Liu Hao would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future, but he didn't expect Liu Hao's family background to be so good.
"Now that my family has declined, before coming to Luoyang this time, I had already sold my family property to obtain an official position and revive my family.”Liu Hao said.
"I don't know what position Mingyu wants, but this old man has some face in Luoyang.”The more he looked at Liu Hao, the more satisfied he became.
"Governor of Liaodong, I want to guard the border for the Great Han Dynasty and expel the Tartars.”Liu Hao said without hesitation. He had already thought of this before he came to Luoyang.
Although the Central Plains was prosperous, the power of the aristocratic families was too great. Even if he asked for the prefect of a county, it would be difficult to establish his own power. Liaodong was located in a remote area, and there were foreign tribes invading the territory all year round. The power of the aristocratic families was relatively weak.
Moreover, if there were outsiders invading the territory, he could use the opportunity to resist the outsiders to recruit an army.
Although the current Han Dynasty was chaotic, no one dared to openly recruit troops. The armies of the various prefectures were strictly controlled.
However, the aristocratic families all had private soldiers, and many of the large aristocratic families had more private soldiers than the local government's army. Their combat strength was also much stronger than the government's army.
Most of these soldiers had been recruited during the Yellow Turban uprising. At that time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered all the places to recruit their own soldiers to resist the Yellow Turban bandits. After the Yellow Turban bandits were suppressed, the troops formed by the aristocratic families of all the places naturally would not disperse. The imperial court could do nothing about it. It could be said that the Yellow Turban uprising had exhausted the last trace of luck of the Han Dynasty.
