Introduction to the novel
On the border of Dayong Dynasty, when Chen Yan, a poor man from a poor family, woke up, he was being scolded as a "rotten tree" by the clan scholar. He has nothing, only vague memories of his previous life, and these strange eyes that can see "the brilliance of culture".
In this world, scholars cultivate "literary education." The pen and ink are brilliant, the poetry is the sword of culture, the beautiful articles can resonate with the world, and every word weighs a thousand pounds. Wealthy families have a monopoly on cultural background, and even if a child from a poor family is talented and learned, if he does not have the "seed of literary spirit", he will not be able to enter the family for the rest of his life.
Chen Yan stood under the leaking eaves of his house and looked at the ray of green light quietly gathering in his palm - it was the "literary spirit" that only direct descendants of the aristocratic family could inherit.
Starting from the child examination in a small border county, he broke the fate of "a poor family with no noble son". His poem "Encouragement to Study" in the county examination attracted many talents, and his poems in the government examination shocked the world. During the college examination, some people already called him "Chen Qingmang".
However, on Qingyun Road: there are powerful people in the county who want to seize his literary talent, a wealthy family in the state wants to recruit him as a son-in-law to control his talents, there is an undercurrent of old and new factions in the court, and the barbarian literary powerhouses in the north are eyeing him.
He held a pen in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, carving an unprecedented path with the belief that "the people are the most important". He set up village schools, developed water conservancy, overturned unjust prisons, and pacified the frontiers. He won the hearts of poor people from all over the world and gathered the culture and spirit of mountains and rivers into one body.
Until the day of the palace examination, the article in the Jinluan Palace appeared, and the purple energy came three thousand miles east. The emperor stood up on the dragon throne and asked: "How is the poor family doing?"
Chen Yan picked up his pen and wrote it under the title of the palace pillar: "My peace of mind lies in the context of the poem."
