66 Chapter 65

When he learned that Cheng Yi was studying at Ziyang Academy, Wei Cheyu guessed that Cheng Yi's origin was not simple. He was definitely not a student from the countryside like them, as Wei's mother thought.

However, even if he knew that Cheng Yi's background was not simple, he was not interested in asking, so he never thought of asking.

Cheng Yi Cheng Yi Cheng Yi...

Easy to take on, easy to take on, easy to take on...

When he heard the word Mingcheng, Wei Chelai immediately associated the names Cheng Yi and Yi Cheng.

There are two famous princes in this dynasty, namely Ye Nanchao, the king of Zhennan, who has the merit of following the dragon, and Yi Hongliang, the prince of An, who guards the border all year round.

Interestingly, these two princes each only had one single child, but the former later found his long-lost daughter, while the latter's only child died young.

And that person...

His surname is Yi Mingcheng, and his courtesy name is Mingcheng. He was told by a traveling eminent monk at birth that he was too young and could not grow up next to or even see his relatives. He could not grow up in the capital, or even in the county capital. Growing up in these places, you can only grow up in a remote rural area, and the poor countryside must be thousands of miles north of the capital.

Of course the people in Anqin Mansion didn't believe it, so they kicked the traveling monk out and ignored him.

However, since Yi Cheng was born, he suffered from minor illnesses every three days and serious illnesses every five days. One day when the high fever did not go away and he was almost dying, Prince An ordered someone to send Yi Cheng to a village thousands of miles north of the capital to be raised.

The strange thing is that once he was sent to the countryside, Yi Cheng never got sick again. And if any relatives came to visit him, he would immediately fall ill the next day, without exception, and he would be so scared that no one would dare to visit him again. Go visit.

The reason why Wei Cheyu had heard of this man was not because of this strange man's deeds, but because although this man grew up safely, he eventually died of a plague when he went to Beijing to take the exam.

His death caused his father, who guarded Dingguo at the border all day long, to be heartbroken and grief-stricken, and eventually died of excessive depression.

At that time, the emperor was furious at the court because of the death of Prince An, and scolded the officials along the way for not taking good care of Prince An's only son, which caused the dynasty to lose a strong general.

During that time, the atmosphere in the palace was depressing and depressing. Both the masters and the slaves in the harem were cautious about their words and deeds, for fear of accidentally igniting the emperor's anger.

So Wei Cheyu was deeply impressed by this man, and the reason why his expression changed drastically was not because this man was the only son of Prince An, but because this man died of a plague.

When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he died in a plague-infected village along the way.

Based on how much Wei's father and Wei's mother like Cheng Yi now, if he and Cheng Yi are admitted to the Juren Examination together, then they will all set off together
