Liu Cheng asked Cai Yong to recite these four articles one by one, which made the audience of thousands of people burst into applause.
However, many people in the audience and examiners also had questions.
There must be a reason why such a ranking is done.
Liu Cheng saw that many people had questions and said: "Some people may ask, on what basis does Your Majesty and I make such a ranking?
Because today is a literary meeting, and it is a literary meeting on poetry and poetry, so the first thing to judge the quality of a work is Judging from the literary talent, Parrot Fu is higher than the other three in terms of literary talent and artistic conception, so it deserves to be ranked first.
Do the examiners agree?"
After hearing this, the examiners all nodded in agreement.
These people are not afraid of Liu Cheng's high position and are all stubborn.
But what Liu Cheng said does make sense, so they cannot disagree without conscience.
Liu Cheng tore open the seal and shouted, "The first place in this round is Mi Heng.
Who is Mi Heng's student?
Stand up and let everyone know you."
A thin young man about twenty years old, wearing rather shabby clothes, stood up with an arrogant expression, looking up at the sky.
He was full of arrogance.
This man bowed to everyone, and finally bowed to Liu Bian and Liu Bian. to the ground.
Liu Bian whispered to Tang Guiren: "Look at this Mi Heng, he looks very noble."
Tang Guiren covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that talented people have strange tempers."
Liu Cheng ignored the student's pretentious attitude and continued: "Okay, Ni Heng, please sit down.
The remaining three articles are equally divided in terms of literary talent, and the title is to express one's ambitions through things, so this ambition will be listed."
The author who gave priority to loyal dogs compared himself to a dog, a loyal dog who is loyal to his master and will never regret it."
"Hahaha" many people in the audience of thousands burst into laughter.
Liu Cheng shouted: "Isn't it funny?
Loyalty is a person's belief, and it is the most basic and important character of a person.
Among all the characters, loyalty ranks first.
The waiter must be loyal to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper must be loyal to the boss; the servant must be loyal.
Be loyal to the head of the family, wives to their husbands, children to their parents, students to their teachers; friends to their friends; staff to their lord; Ministers and officials must be loyal to the emperor; the army must be loyal to the country, and the emperor must be loyal to the people of the world.
This is a common understanding of everyone in the world.
However, there are very few people who can uphold this belief and moral character throughout their lives and never change it.
As the saying goes Husband and wife are birds of the same forest.
When disaster strikes, they fly apart.
Even husband and wife are like this.
What’s more, we can see how rare and valuable loyalty is.”
The scene of thousands of people became silent for a while, and those who had previously laughed at this article were even more ashamed.
"I have ranked this poem on loyal dogs as second place.
Does anyone have any objections?"
Liu Cheng asked.
No one raised a voice to object.
Liu Chengdao: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let us ask the second student of this round to stand up and let everyone get to know him."
Among the remaining four students, a student who was also dressed in shabby but very clean clothes stood up and bowed to Liu Cheng and Liu Bian: "Caomin Bingyuan pays homage to His Majesty, Lord Sikong, and pays homage to all the examiners."
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Bing Yuan still respects etiquette and understands the rules.
Please sit down."
"Thank you Lord Sikong" Liu Cheng continued: "Let's talk about the third place.
Qingsong Fu is about character.
It can be seen from the text that the author's ambition is to be a Qingsong.
A Qingsong is one who would rather break than bend, become stronger with setbacks, be uncompromising, and seek perfection.

We all appreciate it.
Because of this quality, it ranks third.
The poem "Lotus Flower" tells the story of the lotus emerging from the silt.
Unstained, elegant and holy.
If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, we would respect these qualities.
But now the world is in chaos, with feudal princes separatist and disrespecting the court.
It is extremely difficult for anyone to be alone.
You can't get it just by hiding in peace.
If you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.
You have suffered a loss, there is no place to redress your grievances, no one makes the decision for you, you call the sky and the earth not to respond, do you still want to be alone?
If you want to have no trouble coming to you, if you want to live comfortably, you must calm the world. , let the king's law shine on the earth.
Anyone who wants to bully others will be restrained by the king's law.
Therefore, the author of Lotus Fu is too negative in terms of thinking.
Neither I nor the court advocate this kind of thinking.
He is rated as fourth place.
However, the fourth place will not be eliminated in this round and is eligible to continue to the next round.
Now, please let Sima Lang, the third placer, and Guan Ning, the fourth placer, stand up and let everyone get to know each other."
"Bah bang bang!"
Thousands of people in the audience applauded.
Guan Ning was older than the other three students.
He handed over to Liu Cheng and said, "Sir Sikong, I don't want to be an official, I just want to be a scholar, so I want to give up the next assessment voluntarily.
Please allow me, Lord Sikong." allow" "Oh" Liu Cheng was surprised and said: "Among the hundreds of students who came today, there was a weirdo like you.
You don't want to be an official, but you are a rare person.
If you don't apply what you have learned, you will have wasted these two years of war. , imperial court Many ancient books were destroyed in the war.
Currently, Mr.
Cai Yong is responsible for reorganizing and collecting them.
So, I will ask you to be Mr.
Cai's assistant and appoint you as a literary publisher to assist him.
This is not what you want to do. "?"
Guan Ning asked doubtfully: "Isn't the literary minister Mr.
Cai?
How can one official be given to two people?"
"Cai Yong is now Sikong Tu" Guan Ning thought for a moment and cupped his hands and said, "Well, thank you, Lord Sikong."
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, then let's continue to the next round.
I have an arithmetic problem here.
If one person cannot answer it within the specified time, he will be ranked third.
If two people cannot answer it, they will be ranked third." , the one who answered first will be ranked first, and the two who failed to answer will compete for second place in the next round.
Listen up, everyone.
Well, there is an army that marches for two hours on the first day and two and a half hours on the second day.
It marches a total of 196 miles in the two days.
The second day marches four miles further than the first day.
So the total distance of these two days is The marching speed is geometrically one-third of the time.
If you can’t answer the question within the time required, you will be considered a failure.
Start counting now.”
A clerk immediately took out a stick of incense, removed two-thirds of it, lit the remaining one-third and inserted it on the incense burner, and the timer officially started.

Mi Heng, Bing Yuan and Sima Lang are all outstanding figures of the younger generation.
They have all read a lot of books.
All three of them have read books on arithmetic.
Such questions are not difficult for them.
You were the first to answer them.
Heng, followed by Sima Lang, and finally Bing Yuan, all three gave answers within the specified time, winning bursts of applause from the audience.
"It seems that if you don't become officials, you can work as accountants for others, and you won't starve to death."
Liu Cheng smiled.
"Tsk" Mi Heng couldn't help but sneer.
Liu Cheng turned his head and looked over when he heard that Mi Heng sneered.
He felt unhappy and asked: "Mi Heng, why are you laughing?
What's wrong with what Sikong said?"
Mi Heng said in an arrogant voice: "Master Sikong said that I can be the accountant, but I think that the officials under Sikong's account are nothing more than that.
Xun Yu is only qualified to mourn, but Xun You can be a tombkeeper.
Jia Xumian Qiang can be a teacher, Li Ru is just an evil slave, Zhang Liao can only be a drummer, Yan Xing can only be a groom, Zhao Yun can only be a pretty boy, Xu Rong can only be a blacksmith, and Wang Shuang can only kill pigs.
"Butcher the dog" "Shu Zi" "Bold" "Shut up" "court death" For a while, those who were scolded stood up and scolded each other, and the scene became lively.
Mi Heng provoked everyone's anger but was not afraid at all, looking at Liu Cheng with a smug look on his face.
Liu Cheng was not angry either.
He walked up to Mi Heng and looked at him carefully.
Mi Heng was so frightened by Liu Cheng's gaze that he shrank back and said, "You, what are you going to do?"
Liu Chengdao: "Don't make any noise, I'm looking to see if you have a mental illness."
The audience burst into laughter after hearing this: "Hahaha" Mi Heng's face turned green and red, changing erratically, "You, you, you, let me tell you, I am not a manly person."
"With your virtue, even a sow won't pay attention to you."
The common people in the audience laughed again: "Hahaha" Mi Heng finally realized how powerful Liu Cheng was and stopped trying to talk to him.
He said, "Sir Sikong has a high position and authority.
Arguing with common people like me is just to make people laugh."
Liu Chengdao: "I know that some young people rely on their talents and often like to grandstand in crowded places and make some unconventional actions in order to attract others' attention, want to gain people's recognition, and want to be taken seriously.
And you are like this It’s not surprising that people have the strongest desire to express themselves, but you should know that too much is too little.
If your desire to express yourself is too strong and your actions are too outrageous, you will arouse strong resentment from people, and even be punished.
People think they are suffering from insanity.”
"Being able to scold is also a skill.
I heard that in ancient times, someone could scold another person to death with just a few words.
This is the highest level of scolding.
Although the scolding you just made was very irritating, it did not reach this level.
"If you don't kill someone by scolding, you may be killed by the person you scolded.
Comparing the two, which one do you think is better?"
"Under such an occasion, and with His Majesty present, no one with a normal mind would act so outrageously like you.
Tell yourself whether you are smart or stupid.
Maybe you will think that I am angry.
If you kill you, you will become famous.
Then you are making a big mistake.
Your reputation will be famous, but it is not a good one.
You will be regarded as a representative of stupidity."
Mi Heng was speechless for a long time.
Finally, Liu Cheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Sikong, for your teaching.

Mi Heng realizes that he was wrong."
Liu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Seeing as you are a poor student, it is not easy to study, and it is even more difficult to study with today's talent.
I will not care about it, and these people you are scolding will not have the same knowledge as you, a student.
OK, sit down."
Liu Cheng returned to his original position and said to everyone: "Now for the next round, the three of you will be tested on the power of strategy.
Listen carefully.
If the court appoints you as a county magistrate, you take the official appointment document and go to take office.
When you get there, you will be surprised.
Discover the powerful capital within the county government Being controlled by the county magistrate, you, the new county magistrate, have been sidelined.
How do you get rid of the unfavorable situation and take back the power that belongs to you as the county magistrate from the county magistrate?
I will give you half an hour to write down what you should do. , now the timing starts”:
