After the publication of the "Book of Talents to the World", it was like a stone thrown into a calm pond, although the oscillating splash slowly calmed down, but the oscillating waves continued to spread outward without stopping-

On the morning of the second day, the decree and proclamation reached the Yangzhou Eastern Capital Stay-at-Home Mansion.

In October of the first year of the Southern Tang Dynasty (the third year of Yang Wu Tianzuo, 937 AD), Xu Zhihe was officially accepted by Wu Chan in Jinling, and changed the Yuan to "Yu Yuan", and Jinling City officially became the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Yangzhou, the capital of the original Yang Wu, was called the Eastern Capital. Previously, Feng Yanlu, Zhou Zong and others had successively served as the Eastern Capital, and the current Tokyo Left-behind Guard is Chang Mengxi.

Chang Mengxi, the word Mengtu, the Tang Dynasty Fufeng people, less studious, good at literature, tired for Qinlong Prefectures, Baoji Order. In the early years of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, he was forced to flee to the door of Xu Zhihe (Li Yu) of Yang Wu and was recommended to be appointed as the director of Dali. After Li Yu received Zen, Chang Mengxi was first promoted to the palace attendant, the etiquette member Wailang, and the middle of the matter. When the current Yuanzong Li Jing was the crown prince in the East Palace, once he made a mistake, Chang Mengxi often spoke correctly, but he didn't care whether Li Jing was happy or not. Because he didn't deal with the Song Party, he was also up and down a few times, and now he was sick because of alcohol and was sent by Li Jing to stay in the eastern capital.

When the four forbidden soldiers walked into the back garden of the left-behind mansion under the guidance of the government servants, they saw Chang Mengxi wearing a messy official robe, staring directly at a wine jug on the stone table, chanting words in his mouth, and the beard under his chin shook up and down.

The four forbidden soldiers took a few steps, stepped forward and clasped their fists and saluted: "See the left-behind adults!" ”

Chang Mengxi was awakened by the words, reluctantly ended the fight with the wine jug, and did not reply, he looked at it casually, but at a glance he saw the rolled up white paper in the hand of the leader of the forbidden army, stood up suddenly, pointed to the paper and asked, "What is the content?" ”

"Lord Hui, it is the "Book of Talents to the World" that the Holy Lord ordered to be sent to the whole country yesterday." The leader's forbidden army said respectfully.

Chang Linxi's face changed greatly, he took a few steps forward, snatched the announcement, ran back to the stone table, and hit the wine jug that was still fighting fiercely about whether to drink it under the table, spread the announcement lightly on the table, and read it aloud.

"God bless me Don! God bless me Don! Saint Wise, what a Lin Feng! After reading it, Chang Mengxi was a little incoherent and yelled to the sky.

In historical records, Chang Mengxi's Geng Zhizhong is not inferior to Xiao Yan, Jiang Wenwei, Han Xizai and others. Before coming to Yangzhou, he had a bitter discussion with Li Jing about Qi Qiu's generation. Li Jing's eloquence, coupled with the scoundrel's sophistry, made Chang Mengxi speechless, he had to pause and say: "The traitor is like loyalty, if Your Majesty does not realize it in the end, the family and the country will be in ruins!" When the Southern Tang Dynasty ceded the land to the Later Zhou Dynasty and lowered the national title, one day the ministers gathered, and some people lamented that the Later Zhou was a big country, Chang Mengxi Dalu smiled and pointed to the man's nose and said: "If you people were loyal to the past and helped the saint to become Yao Shun, why do you want to depreciate yourself to a small evil dynasty today?" The crowd dispersed in silence.

Because of the depression in his heart, Chang Mengxi borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, accumulated to a dark disease, and was persuaded by Zhou Zong to drink a big decrease, but every day he had to compete with the things in the pot spiritually. Previously, I had heard about the Tang Dynasty Debate Tournament, and I once wanted to rise up, but I didn't hear any follow-up voices for ten days after that, thinking that under the control of the Manchu Song Party, the so-called change was just a flash in the pan, and people were depressed again.

"From this moment on, Chang will never drink alcohol again for the rest of his life!" Chang Mengxi shouted, tried to calm down his mood, set up the incense case, officially received the holy decree and announcement, and arranged for the people in the government to quickly arrange the announcement to be delivered.

When the people dispersed, Chang Mengxi instructed his subordinates to bring pen and ink, sat back on the stone table again, and buried himself in writing.

On the afternoon of the third day, the announcement was posted in front of the county government of She County, Huizhou Prefecture. In the crowd of onlookers, a young man with a face as white as jade and a lofty temperament read the announcement three times from top to bottom, turned around and pushed away the people behind him, and walked back to an antique mansion. After a while, the young man walked out of the house with a burden on his back, and stepped onto the official road to Jinling City without looking back.

This young man's name is Shu Ya, the first champion of She County and even Huizhou Mansion in history in the future, and has also become an important figure influenced by Lin Feng's instigation of the small wings of the butterfly.

Shu Ya was tireless in learning when she was young, and she was limited to reading two lamp oils every night, and she didn't sleep until the oil was burned. His style of writing and writing poems is very similar to Li Bai in history, he is quick to think, he writes immediately, and often reads his poems to famous artists or old women to listen, listen to the opinions of all parties, and improve his level.

In history, just a few years later, when Han Xizai was promoted to the rank of servant of the ministry, Shu Ya set off. In order to show his respect, he bathed for three days and fasted for three days, and then carried his book bag and walked straight to the door of Han Xizai, the master of Beijing, to present what he had done. After reading it, Han Xi clapped his hands, opened the middle door, personally greeted Yu in the hall, and accepted him as an apprentice. At that time, there were dozens of people in Hanfumen, and after everyone circulated his poems, they publicly recommended his articles as the first in Hanmen. After that, in the Southern Tang Dynasty National Jinshi Examination, Shu Ya was recommended to Li Hao for the first place in the examination, and then was hand-picked as the first place in the palace examination, that is, the champion, and was awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit and compile the history of the country. Since then, Shuya has become famous all over the world.

On the morning of the sixth day, on the top of Lushan Mountain, the quaint Lushan Temple was shrouded in a cloud of white mist, and the mountains, rocks and trees became a little illusory and blurry, and the human eye could only see the distance of about ten meters in shadows. A little monk sped along the rugged mountain path to a sturdy pine tree, where a young man dressed in monk's robes was reading a scroll aloud.

"Wu Gongzi, a great joy!" The little monk jumped over a stone and jumped in front of the young man.

"Emptiness, we live in the mountains, and we don't hear about foreign affairs, how can we be happy?" The young man looked up and said nonchalantly.

"You can see it at a glance!" The little monk unfolded a piece of paper crumpled in his hand and handed it to the young man, "When I was in front of the Yaqian in Lujiang County yesterday, I found a lot of people gathered there, and I was also curious, so I copied down that strange official document, thinking that the son must be useful!" ”

The young man didn't listen to the words of emptiness at all, just looked intently at the scribbled handwriting. But emptiness can be clearly felt, and a heartfelt joy is spreading across this Wu Gongzi's face.

"Thank you, emptiness, this piece of paper is so useful to me!" The young man glanced to the east and saw that behind the clouds was brightening, a precursor to the sun about to leap over the mountain. The young man surnamed Wu let out a long roar at Dongfang, turned to emptiness and said, "I'm going down the mountain!" ”

The young man's name was Wu Qiao.

In Chinese history, more than 800 champions (including the peasant uprising regime) were admitted (excluding "martial champions"), and 649 champions were documented and surnamed. Among them, the only recorded champion of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is Wu Qiao. This is also the only champion in the history of Lujiang County.

Wu Qiao has been extremely intelligent and studious since he was a child, and when he was young, he said proudly: "There is no one who is better than himself." In order to find a famous teacher, he went up the river, went to Lushan to find a famous teacher, and lived in Lushan Temple to study hard. Five years later in history, that is, in the thirteenth year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (955 AD), Wu Qiao, with the support of the monks of Lushan Temple, went to Jinling alone to take the exam, and was ranked third in the primary election.

According to the practice of scientific research in the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the banquet of the preliminary shortlist, there was a link of on-site poetry and composition. At that time, Wu Qiao was ranked after Song Zhenguan and Zhang Xun, but when Wu Qiao presented his new work "Bagua Fu", the examiner applauded the case and immediately invited Wu Qiao to sit in the lead. Soon, the re-examination was out, and Wu Qiao really ranked first. After Li Jing read "Bagua Fu", he praised his words for being beautiful and concise, and the logical structure was rigorous, which was really rare, so he issued a decree to engrave his text on the stele and stand outside the gate of Chinese culture, "thinking that it is eternal". However, Wu Qiao was only an official to Shezhou and a foreigner, and he was also a person who did not have his ambition in his life.
