In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
"Does Cai Yilang think that I am incapable of composing poetry and songs?"
Liu Wei wasn't angry. "Miss Cai agreed to stay and serve me, but Cai Yilang wants to leave."
"How about I make a bet with Cai Yilang?"
"If I were to compose a poem on the spot that pleases you, then how about Cai Yilang stays as well?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yong immediately perked up: "Since Your Highness has put it this way, I am willing to take the gamble."
"What if Your Highness cannot do it?"
Liu Wei laughed heartily: "I will certainly send troops to escort Cai Yilang to Yanmen Pass and treat him with courtesy all the way."
"A promise is a promise, and I will never go back on my word!"
Cai Yong hadn't expected Liu Wei to be so confident. Since he had said it, then it was a done deal, and there was no going back.
"Your Highness's words are law, and I believe that Your Highness is a man of his word."
Seeing that the two had started betting, Cai Yan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you should stop betting. My father has extremely high standards for poetry and prose. He would criticize the works of great scholars such as Chen Lin, Kong Rong, and Xu Gan."
Needless to say, Chen Lin and Kong Rong were both great literary figures of the late Han Dynasty. At this moment, they were working in the General He Jin's mansion, with Chen Lin serving as the chief clerk.
Xu Gan was also a writer in the late Han Dynasty, one of the "Seven Scholars of Jian'an", and was known for his poetry, prose, and political essays.
"Yan'er, why are you starting to side with outsiders?"
Cai Yong was surprised that his daughter had spoken up for Liu Wei as soon as she agreed to stay and serve him, and he felt a pang of sadness.
"Father, aren't you putting the Prince in a difficult position?"
Although Cai Yan saw that Liu Wei had written these three booklets, it was extremely difficult for him to write a poem on the spot.
"Miss Cai, could you grind ink for me?"
However, Liu Wei said confidently.
