"Hand in."
Mi Heng put down his brush and raised his hand.
Not only were the emperors Liu Bian, Liu Cheng, Cai Yong and other officials and scholars surprised, but also the thousands of ordinary people in the audience were surprised.
How could this student named Mi Heng answer the question so quickly?
It took less than a cup of tea.
He finished answering the questions in just a few seconds Liu Cheng waved his hand and asked the clerk next to him to collect Mi Heng's examination papers.
He wanted to see how Mi Heng answered the questions.
The clerk walked over and put Mi Heng's answer sheet in front of Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng did not open it and continued to wait for Sima Lang and Bing Yuan to answer the questions.
Emperors Liu Bian, Cai Yong and other officials and great Confucians also did not want to go first. look.
Sima Lang was the second to finish answering the questions, and Bing Yuan came last, but he kept writing until he finished writing before he stopped writing and raised his hand.
The three answer sheets were collected.
Liu Cheng first picked up Mi Heng's test paper, opened it and read the answers, but almost laughed out loud.
He walked up to Liu Bian and handed Mi Heng's answer sheet over: "Your Majesty, take a look."
Liu Bian took the answer sheet, looked at it, and nodded seriously: "He thinks very quickly, what do you think, uncle?"
Liu Cheng took the answer sheet to face the students and thousands of people in Guanzhong, and read: "Student Mi Heng's answer is: report to the prefect, and ask the prefect to transfer the county magistrate."
The students, examiners and ordinary people in the audience started talking about it.
Liu Cheng raised his head and looked at Mi Heng and asked: "Is the prefect your father or a relative of your family?
If you ask to transfer the county magistrate, you will transfer the county magistrate.
Why should the magistrate listen to your county magistrate?
Although the county magistrate is an assistant official of the county magistrate, he is also an official of the imperial court.
The prefect If you don't have enough reasons, can you just transfer it with a slap on the forehead?
If this answer sheet is rated as good or bad, you can only get one bad review."
"Hahaha" everyone burst out laughing.
Mi Heng's face turned red with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Mi Heng, you have to remember that good reading and good writing may not necessarily make you a good official.
Although the county magistrate is the lowest first-level official in the imperial court, the only people who can hold this official position are human beings.
Jing, you haven't started on this road yet.
You will know when you become an official.
If you don't succeed when your food is not so delicious, don't blame others or others, don't hate being born at the wrong time.
If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for your lack of talent.
Even during the reign of great emperors such as Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the officialdom was not the same.
Even though everything is clear and bright, there are also all kinds of unhappiness.”
Mi Heng felt very strange.
In the past, he would scold someone whenever he felt unhappy, and he would not repeat any sentence.
No matter who the target was, he would dare to scold.
But in front of Liu Cheng, he was actually timid.
It was not that he was afraid of Liu Cheng.
Cheng killed him, he was not afraid of death, but for some reason, he couldn't jump up and down in front of Liu Cheng.
Mi Heng was actually convinced.
He bowed to Liu Cheng and said, "Thank you Master Sikong for your teaching.
I will keep it in my heart."
Liu Cheng picked up the second answer sheet, which belonged to Sima Lang.
Sima Lang is the son of Sima Fang, the current magistrate of Chang'an.
Chang'an is now the capital.

The magistrate of Chang'an is not lower than the prefect of a large county, and so is Sima Lang.
A serious official's son is also a son of an aristocratic family.
Liu Cheng opened the answer sheet and read: "Investigate whether there is a backer behind the county magistrate.
If not, find a way to collect evidence of his crime and report it to the superior officer for punishment.
If there is a backer, find out who the backer is and compare it with your own strength.
If you can win, Just fight, if you can't fight, then be patient, and then try to do it slowly."
Liu Cheng saw that Sima Lang was born in a family of officials, and he always considered issues from the perspective of his status as a son of officials.
While people were talking, Liu Cheng asked: "Sima Lang, you are a son of an official.
If you take office, you will definitely have an advantage, because your father and relatives and elders in your family are officials in the court, and you have a backer behind you, so If you are confident enough, read what you have written.
You must first compare your backing with the county prime minister.
If your backing is stronger than the county prime minister’s, you should criticize him.
To start with, if your backers are no match for others, you should choose to be patient.
This is also a way to be an official.
But if you have always had the attitude of shrinking back and standing still when encountering difficulties, then your career as an official will be ruined.
It definitely won’t go very far.
In addition, what would you do if you were not an official, but a commoner?
Your rating can only be barely good."
Sima Lang did not have the courage to refute, nor could he refute, so he bowed his hands and said, "Student, please remember, thank you Master Sikong for your teaching."
Liu Cheng continued to pick up Bing Yuan's answer sheet, opened it and read it carefully, nodding from time to time, saying in his heart that Bing Yuan was thoughtful and had a high emotional intelligence in officialdom.
He read: "Under the current situation, when going to a strange place to take office, you must first recruit warriors to protect yourself; when you arrive at your destination and take office, you must first observe and understand the situation in the county, investigate the identity and background of the county magistrate, and make different decisions based on different situations.
Decision-making.
One thing is undoubted.
Even if the county magistrate controls the power of the county government, it is by no means monolithic.
Find ways to divide it and cut off its wings bit by bit."
After Liu Cheng finished reading, he said to everyone: "I am quite satisfied with Bing Yuan's answer.
One of the sentences is particularly good.
Make different decisions according to different situations, which means adapting to circumstances.
Recruit warriors to protect yourself before going to work.
Bao, this is a wise decision.
Nowadays, the power of many counties is controlled by local clans.
In some counties, the county magistrates and county captains have all the power.
They do not want the court to send new county magistrates.
Some lawless people even send people halfway.
Intercept and kill the imperial official , don't let him take office.
In this matter, don't think that those people are kind-hearted people.
In his answer, Bing Yuan said that he should find a way to separate the county magistrate and his subordinates.
This is A good strategy, when the power is controlled by the county magistrate In the absence of support and no backer to draw on, you can only rely on yourself in the officialdom.
External support is important, but if you are a loser, no matter how strong your backer is, you will not be able to help it.
Bing Yuan’s answer , I will give you an advantage” Bing Yuan immediately raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Sikong, for your comment."
"Okay" Thousands of spectators outside the stadium applauded.
Liu Cheng turned around and bowed his hands to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, please ask another question."
Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "I'm not good at asking questions.
This is about appointing an official position.
How can it be a child's play?
Let's do it for the emperor's uncle."

"promise" Liu Cheng turned to face the students and the audience and said: "I just took the political test.
Next, we have to take the political test.
There are three of you.
I will give you three questions, namely local governance, water governance, and official governance.
Write these three questions separately.
Put the three slips of paper into the box, and the three of you will draw lots, and you will answer whatever question you get."
After saying that, he wrote three questions on three pieces of paper respectively, crumpled them into balls and put them into the wooden box.
Bing Yuan, Sima Lang and Mi Heng came over and guessed the box.
The one who won first would be caught first.
The three of them quickly Each drew a lot.
"Ni Heng's topic is about official administration, Sima Lang's topic is about water control, and Bing Yuan's topic is about local governance.
This is not a test of poems, songs, or classics.
It does not require good literary talent or gorgeous rhetoric, but it must be You need to be organized and think clearly.
I’ll give you half an hour and start now.”
These three questions stumped Bing Yuan, Sima Lang and Mi Heng.
In the past, becoming an official relied on inspection, recruitment, and filial piety.
There was no evaluation, and it only tested these officials who were related to the officialdom.
They used to I had never thought about these questions at all, and I didn’t know how to answer them for a while.
In the past, those who were promoted as filial and honest, and those who were promoted to Zhengpi gradually began to learn how to be an official after they entered the officialdom.
During their studies, they never thought about these things.
In the Han Dynasty, as long as they were well-known as filial sons, they would definitely be able to become officials. , there is no need to think about how to be an official beforehand.
After half an hour passed, Liu Cheng ordered his people to take back their answer sheets.
None of the three people had finished their answers.
Only Bing Yuan wrote the most.
The answers were still the same.
Mi Heng and Sima Lang didn't have a complete idea at all. and clear thinking, Liu Cheng was very disappointed.
He stopped reading the answers of these three people.
It would be embarrassing to read them out, and said directly: "I won't read your answers.
You are still far from being an official of your level.
However, since I have promised to answer the questions of the top three If you are appointed to an official position, you will not break your promise.
Mi Heng, appoint you as censor; Bing Yuan, You are appointed as the Yiyang Order; Sima Lang, you are appointed as the Sili Xiaowei's subordinate Mengong Cao Shuzuo.
When you go back, each of you three will write an article on why you became an official.
You have ten days to settle your family and prepare for your appointment. , go to Sikong Mansion and give me the written article before taking office."
"Yes, my lord" After the poetry meeting, Cai Yong said to Liu Cheng: "Sir Sikong, I am very surprised.
I know exactly what kind of virtue Ni Heng is.
He is not afraid of heaven and earth.
He has good literary talent.
As long as he doesn't like it, he will do it."
I never use curse words when I curse, and I never repeat any words.
I didn’t expect that this kid would become as honest as a cat after being scolded by Master Sikong.”
Liu Cheng said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, this kid Mi Heng is a bit cynical.
This is also a common phenomenon among students from poor families.
Who allows aristocratic families to control the way to official promotion?"
Cai Yong also sighed: "This has been a drawback for hundreds of years."
When Liu Cheng returned to Sikong Mansion, Huangfu Li, who joined the army, came out to greet him and said with cupped hands: "My lord, General Gao Shun has arrived and is waiting in the lobby."

When Huangfu Songman's family was executed by Dong Zhuo, his nephew Huangfu Li was on business in Hongnong Hedong.
He escaped and hid in Hedong for several months.
He did not return to Chang'an until Dong Zhuo's death.
After being recommended by Xun Yu, Liu Cheng became the join the army.
Liu Cheng didn't have time to rest, so he just washed his hands and came to the lobby.
When Gao Shun saw it, he stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "I've seen Lord Sikong."
Liu Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down, pressing his hand: "Sit" "Thank you sir" After serving tea, Liu Cheng said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, how is the situation in Tianshui?
Is there any movement from Han Sui?"
Gao Shun cupped his fists and said, "Back to Master Sikong, Han Sui is very guarded against his generals, and he often competes with Ma Teng for territory.
The two sides fight every now and then, but the scale is not large
