At twelve years old, Zhao Changyu's reputation had already spread throughout Yu State, and even the aristocratic families of Luoyang City had heard of his talents. Many people wrote to Shangcai Marquis, inviting his son to the capital for exchanges.
At that time, Shangcai Marquis was already ill, but after pondering for a while, he still called his eldest son and discussed with him: "Go to Luoyang, visit a few old friends. If you can have a chance to meet Your Majesty, that would be even better."
He coughed lightly and said, "My health is failing, and I'm afraid I won't last much longer. If the old friends support you, you will inherit the title more smoothly. This is the honor left by our ancestors, not for power or wealth, but to inherit the ancestral legacy. In the future, the Zhao Family will depend on you."
