"On July 24, 950 AD, the 10-member vocational ceremony for recruiting talents in the Southern Tang Dynasty officially kicked off. Unlike the common, special and martial arts examinations that have been held since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this vocational ceremony clearly listed the themes of politics, economy, science and technology, military, business, etc. for the first time, and the titles were clearly marked, and the form was new. At the same time, this vocational ceremony was also a true 'elite discovery ceremony'. For the first time, it really put aside the predecessor factors such as blood relationship, family background, family background, and family background. It took real talent and knowledge as the basic standard for talent recruitment and promotion. From form to content, it had a profound impact on all vocational ceremony after that."

——Excerpt from "The Book of Southern Tang? The Great Ceremony of Luncai" written by Shi Yan of the Southern Tang Dynasty

Of course, the official and folk understandings of the Southern Tang Dynasty’s definition of this talent ceremonial ceremony are slightly different.

In the eyes of the people, starting from the announcement of the ten questions about recruiting talents, until the official establishment of the Southern Tang Academy of Sciences, this was the entire process of the talent swing ceremony. In the eyes of the official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the talent swing ceremony on the morning of July 24, the eighth year of Baoda was considered the talent swing ceremony they recognized.

That morning, just as the sky was dawn, all the imperial guards in the north and south of Jinling City were dispatched, three steps and five steps to rush the two sides of the road from Jinling Palace City to Jinling Academy. On the wide road, except for the last batch of people who cleaned the streets organized by the Jinling City Prefecture Yamen, there was no pedestrian. However, on both sides of the road, there were three floors inside and three floors outside, and all the common people in Jinling City were waiting to watch the fun. After three months and after several announcements, everyone was already a little impatient!

After an extremely brief morning court, all the people from the court went to the Jinling Academy collectively. At the palace gate, an extremely large team quickly formed in sequence.

At the front and outside are the imperial guards with bright armor and bright armor, and the palace guards are composed of ninety-nine or eighty-one handsome and burly troops.

The guard team is in front of the center, and is a tall jade rope pulled by eight tall horses.

On the sky-blue jade seat, Li Jing, wearing a yellow dragon crown robes, was in the middle, and the official counselor Shi Xubai was on the left and Lin Feng was on the right. The highest specifications allowed the two most famous talents in the Southern Tang Dynasty to sway over the market, giving the Southern Tang Dynasty a thirsty and respect for the wise and humble attitude.

After Yulu, the four kings of Qi, Li Jingsui, Kings of Chu, Li Jingqian, Kings of Yan, and Li Yu, Zheng, rode horses with them all in their official uniforms.

Beyond Mu Lu, there were five other examiners and deputy examiners besides Shi Xubai and Lin Feng: Situ Zhou Zong, Yan Ji, Minister of Personnel, Chen Jishan, Minister of Works, Li Deming, Minister of Arts and Sciences, Li Deming, Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor, Chang Mengxi, and Wei Cen. Of course, as the chief envoy of today's ceremony, the other two deputy examiners, Jiang Wenmo, Minister of Rites, were running around and running, so busy that they did not touch the ground, so naturally they did not have time to accept the honor of "parking in the streets".

Later, except for some old ministers over 60 who had the opportunity to take the emperor's chariot to travel, all other court officials walked behind according to their official ranks.

The huge and long team had just left the palace gate and approached the neighborhood, which caused a uniform sound of people on the roadside to suck. It has been thirteen years since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The people of Jinling City have experienced the two emperors Li Bing and Li Jing, and they have seen many big scenes. But Mu Lu was the first to go out at the same time like today!

"Who are the two people around the emperor?" asked the crowd.

Soon, the answer spread among the crowd: "The elderly are the official doctor Shi Xubai, and the young are Lord Lin Fenglin!"

"Wow!" A new round of air pumping sounds fluctuated in the crowd. Shi Xubai was fine. Before, many people from Jinling had heard of his drunken resignation in the palace, but compared with Lin Feng, the popularity gap immediately became bigger!

Lin Feng's rise is as brilliant as fireworks, his reputation is as dazzling as stars, his literary talent and extraordinary talent. No one expected that he was so young and his appearance was handsome. Besides, the national reform led by Lin Feng, the ten questions for recruitment, supermarkets, imperial guards competitions, etc., affected many people in Jinling in different aspects in different depths! Immediately, countless people in the crowd were full of envy and admiration. Needless to say, many young girls naturally had the same admiration in their eyes.

When Yulu arrived at an intersection, the two avenues, east-west to north-south, meet, and the surrounding people are naturally more, and the noise is getting louder. Several girls with heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes throw the handkerchiefs in their hands towards Yulu, shouting wildly: "Mr. Lin, Master Lin!"

The shouts of these girls were extremely loud, which made people around them look sideways. A thin young man used the scabbard and bags in his hand as weapons to squeeze the people around him back two steps, leaving him a little far away from the girls, and said disgustingly: "A group of illegitimate flowers!"

A rude man who was pushed away by him glared at him and found that the man was handsome and looked angry. He said sarcastically: "Oh, I can't stand Lord Lin young, handsome and talented! If you have the ability, you can sit on the jade, why are you scrambling here with us ordinary people!"

The young man glared back, and his eyes were circling, giving people a coquettish feeling: "I... I don't care about it! Besides, he is not very handsome!"

After saying that, the young man stepped up his hand, pushed away the person behind him, walked to a place with a little crowd, and rushed to the south.

Hearing the noise higher and higher around him, Li Jing, above Yulu, turned to Lin Feng and smiled, "Mr. Lin, along the way, there have been constant voices calling Lord Lin. It seems that Zhishan has a high reputation!"

Lin Feng had just adapted to such a sluggish feeling of being so arrogant in front of people. When he heard Li Jing's words, his face turned red and he quickly replied: "Your Majesty is laughing at me! In the eyes of Weichen, this is just because the people know that His Majesty is so wise and magical, and they are too far away from them. Lord Shi and Weichen have arisen from Caoye, and they are naturally a little psychologically close to them."

This sentence immediately made Li Jing amuse himself. Lin Feng's flattery was gone, but it was the itchy place!

Shi Xubai next to him immediately continued: "Sense of closeness? This word is very good. Just like this change in the Tang Dynasty, I have a natural sense of closeness to the people, so that I can win the hearts of the people and follow the opinions of the people!"

Lin Feng immediately followed the conversation, pretended to sigh, and continued to flatter him: "This sense of closeness is actually the closeness between Your Majesty and the people of the world! Your Majesty was kind and loving to the people. If we continue to develop like this, we ministers will never be able to mess with you!"

Lin Feng's playful words immediately made Li Jing very happy and smiled with his beard.

Lin Feng was not finished yet, so he continued to "increase" and said: "Actually, seeing this situation and thinking about the Grand Prize of Talents, the Academy of Sciences, and then the future prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, Lin Feng had an idea, that is, Emperor Taizong of Tang in the previous dynasty actually said something for His Majesty in advance!"

Just as Lin Feng paused for a moment, Shi Xubai followed Lin Feng's tone and shouted softly with him: "The heroes of the world are all in the trap of Your Majesty!"

During the Zhenguan period of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang climbed Duanmen of Luoyang and saw a new Jinshi walking out. He was overjoyed and said, "The heroes of the world have entered my throne!" That means that from now on, all the heroes of the world are in my control!

At this time, Li Jing happened to be the second emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was like Li Shimin, and was preparing to inherit the legacy of the previous Tang Dynasty and reappear the grand occasion of the previous Tang Dynasty. Lin Feng borrowed this sentence at this time not only implying that Li Jing can win all the talents in the world from now on, but also compared him with the famous Emperor Wu and Tang of Han. This is a big flattery!
