Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Wedge (Night Dream Recruitment)
Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate.
At the beginning of Taishi, heaven and earth were chaotic, turbid and undecided, and yin and yang were not judged. The great god of Pangu held a giant axe to split Hongmeng, and from then on, the light air floated up, turning the wind, clouds, rain and fog into the sky; the heavy turbidity sank, and the mountains and rocks were knotted on the ground, and the heaven and earth were divided, and yin and yang were judged. Born to create, the earth to nurture all things, heaven and earth all things, is to be endless, infinite changes. Therefore, "Yi" said: "Dazai Qianyuan! To Zai Kunyuan! Ten thousand materials are born, and they are obedient to the sky." ”
The vast emperor sky, the long and thick soil, this vast land after hundreds of thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, the sun rises and the moon sets, then divided into five continents, there is Chenzhou in the north, Yuzhou in the south, Muzhou in the west, Yingzhou on the sea, the middle and the east soil are connected as a whole, called Shenzhou. This Shenzhou continent is the most vast, spanning 18,000 li from east to west and 24,000 li from north to south. The mountains and rivers on the continent are continuous, the fields are vertical and horizontal, the rivers and lakes are in the middle of the stars, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the fertile fields are ten thousand hectares, the people are abundant, the land is wide and densely populated, Xun belongs to this heaven and the earth, the richest place. Above the Divine Continent, there are four more kingdoms. The north is the Xiao country, the south belongs to the Chu country, the east to the sea has the Sang country, and the middle is the most broad and prosperous place, which is the Qianguo. Since the founding of Taizu, the Qianguo has gone through 300 years of national ancestry, and the current emperor's name is Kang Yuan, and he has reigned for 70 years.
In May of the 70th year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Emperor Li Chongsheng gathered hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss matters in the early dynasty of the Taiyuan Palace. The emperor looked down at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and suddenly felt something, but sighed faintly, and said:
"I had a dream last night, and I saw a big star rising in the southern sky and falling back in the East China Sea, why do you think?"
The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't dare to be right, and Zhang Ziang, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty: The minister thinks that this star is the star of heavenly power, the lower realm of heavenly power, protect my emperor, and protect my great Qianjiang and mountains for eternity, this dream is a good omen!"
Li Chongsheng twisted his beard and smiled: "Then according to Qing's meaning, I have this dream, how should I respond to it?"
"Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the ministers, should send a list of the emperor to the southeast coast, so that all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, all over the Yajun, Guangluo talents, no sects, Taoism, martial arts, military strategies, but the elders with one skill, can be reported to the court, for my use. ”
Li Chongsheng immediately praised the goodness again and again, and immediately drafted the decree by the Ministry of Rites, issued a list to recruit talents, issued a letter to the world, and said:
I have been in charge of the heavens, established the great unification, and enjoyed the country for 70 years. Today, the country is prosperous, the people are at ease, the etiquette system, the four seas are from the four seas, the majesty of the country, and the guest clothes of all countries. Under the whole world, where the sun and the moon shine on the place, the mountains and rivers are happy, and the salty and anxious are in harmony. However, the world of peace and security is a hundred generations, and the lord of the world must not forget the danger when he lives in peace. Every time the first emperor talked to me about the difficulty of starting a business, I didn't dare to forget it for a day.
In the past, Yan Zhao built the palace, Wei Yingli wood, Huan Gong Wu, made the king three visits, King Wen was on the shore of Weishui, carrying the public opinion, Pei Gong was on the altar, worshiping Huaiyin. The pillar of the imperial court, the backbone of the country, depends on the efforts of all the monarchs, and uses their lives as one. But those who have civil and military talents, and those who contribute to the service, can read their achievements without noticing!
Those who are poor and have menstruated for many years should think about the way of the sages and serve the people; those who are loyal and talented should also see the wise and think together and devote themselves to national affairs; those who are talented in the world should be mindful of the world, live far away from the rivers and lakes, think about the worries of the court, be in the mountains and rivers, cherish the devotion of the temple, and be respectful and obedient to the order to answer the great honor!
In all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, Chana Gaoshi, and Yuanyan were widely gathered, but those who had pure aspirations and good intentions were to report and not delay.
Chin this!
In this way, this list of recruiting virtuous emperors, within three months, with the fast horses of the imperial court Tsing Yi Guard, was promulgated to all corners of the Great Qianguo.
One day after March, in Hangzhou, a coastal area south of the Yangtze River, although it was mid-autumn, the summer was still in full swing, the autumn sun was shining, and the sky was clear......
A fast horse was galloping on the official road in the south of the city, and the man on the horse was burly and full of heroic face.
I saw the man, dressed in a blue cloth robe, with a stainless steel straight knife hanging from his waist, he held the reins in his left hand, but he held a gray cloth bag in his right hand. I don't know what is wrapped in the gray cloth bag, but I see that the cloth bag is shaking up and down with the running of the horses, but under the cloth bag, there are drops of blood, which are constantly flowing out......
He clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the yellow horse under his crotch, and ran forward like a gallop, raising the smoke and dust all the way behind him......
