Liu Cheng asked Cai Yong to recite these four articles one by one, which made thousands of audiences cheer. However, many of the audience and examiners also had questions, why do they need to be ranked like this? There must be a reason?

Liu Cheng saw many people having questions and said, "Someone may ask, what is your Majesty and I ranking this way? Because today is a literary conference and a literary conference in poetry and essays, we must first judge the quality of the work from the perspective of literary talent. "Parrot Fu" is higher than the other three articles in terms of literary talent and artistic conception, so it is well deserved to be ranked first. Do all examiners agree?"

After hearing this, the examiners nodded in the same way. These people were not afraid of Liu Cheng's high position and power. They were all stubborn, but what Liu Cheng said was indeed reasonable, so they could not disagree against their conscience.

Liu Cheng tore open the seal and shouted, "Who is the first place in this round, Ni Heng, who is Ni Heng's student? Stand up and let everyone know!"

A thin young man in his twenties, dressed in a rather shabby dress, stood up with a arrogant expression and looked up at the sky, full of arrogance! The man bowed to everyone, and finally bowed to Liu Bin and Liu Bin to the ground.

Liu Bian whispered to Concubine Tang: "Look at Ni Heng, he looks very noble!"

Concubine Tang covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard that talented people have a little weird temper!"

Liu Cheng ignored the aloofness of the student's pretending attitude and continued, "Okay, Ni Heng, please sit down! The remaining three articles are not distinguished in terms of literary talent, and the title is to express one's ambition through objects, so this ambition must be listed as a priority! The author of "Fu on Loyal Dogs" compared himself to a dog, a loyal dog who is loyal to his master and never regrets......"

"Hahaha..." Many of the thousands of viewers burst into laughter.

Liu Cheng shouted: "Is it funny? Loyalty is a person's belief, the most basic and important virtue of a person! Among all virtues, loyalty should rank first! The waiter should be loyal to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper should be loyal to the boss; the servants should be loyal to the head of the family, the wife should be loyal to the husband, the children should be loyal to the parents, the students should be loyal to the teachers and teachers; friends should be loyal to friends; aides should be loyal to the lord; ministers and officials should be loyal to the emperor; the army should be loyal to the country, and the emperor should be loyal to the people of the world. This is the common understanding of everyone in the world! But there are very few people who can uphold this belief and morality for life and remain unchanged for life! As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly by themselves when the disaster strikes, even husband and wife are like this, let alone others? It can be seen how rare and valuable loyalty is!"

The scenes of thousands of people became silent for a moment, and those who had previously ridiculed this article were even more ashamed at this time.

"I have ranked second in this "Fu of Loyal Dogs". Does anyone have any objections?" Liu Cheng asked.

No one was vocal about opposition.

Liu Chengdao: "Okay, since everyone has no objection, then please ask our second student in this round to stand up and let everyone know!"

Among the remaining four students, one was also a shabby but very clean student stood up and bowed to Liu Cheng and Liu Bin: "Caomin Bingyuan pays homage to Your Majesty, Lord Sikong, and meet all examiners!"

Liu Cheng nodded and said, "It's better for Jerato to abide by the etiquette and understand the rules, please sit down!"

"Mr. Xie Sikong!"

Liu Cheng continued: "Let's talk about the third place. "Qingsong Fu" is about character. From the text, we can see that the author's ambition is to be green pine. Green pine is better to break than bend, and to be stronger than to make a frustration, not to compromise, and to be meticulous. We all appreciate such quality, so it is third place. "Lotus Fu" tells the story of the lotus coming out of the mud without being stained, elegant and holy. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, we respect such quality, but now there is chaos in the world, the princes are in the separatist state, and the court is not respected. How difficult is anyone who wants to protect himself? It is not that you can get what you want by hiding from tranquility. You don't make trouble, but you come to your own house!

If you suffer a loss, there is no place to seek justice, no one will make decisions for you. If you call me every day, you should not be effective. Do you still want to be alone? If you want to come to the door without any trouble, you must pacify the world and let the king and the law shine on the earth. Anyone who wants to bully others will be punished by the king and the law! Therefore, the author of "Lotus Fu" is too negative in terms of thought. I and the court do not advocate this idea and are rated as fourth! However, the fourth place will not be eliminated in this round and are qualified to continue to enter the next round of evaluation! Now please ask the third place Sima Lang and the fourth place Guan Ning to stand up and let everyone know!"

"Paipapapapapa..." Thousands of people applauded and applauded.

Guan Ning was older than the other three students. At this time, he bowed to Liu Cheng and said, "Mr. Sikong, Caomin has no intention of becoming an official, he just wants to do academic research, so he wants to automatically give up the next assessment. Please allow Master Sikong!"

"Oh?" Liu Cheng was surprised and said, "The hundreds of students who came here today actually made you a strange person. You don't want to be an official. It's a rare person. If you don't learn what you have learned, it will be a waste! In the past two years of war, many ancient books in the imperial court have been damaged in the war. At present, Lord Cai Yong is responsible for reorganizing and collecting them. Let's do this. I asked you to be Lord Cai's assistant, and I will be a literary agent to assist him. Isn't this what you want to do?"

Guan Ning said in confusion: "Aren't the literary peddler Lord Cai? How can one official give two people?"

"Cai Yong is now a Sikong officer!"

Guan Ning thought for a while and bowed: "So, thank you Lord Sikong!"

Liu Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's continue to carry out the next round. I have a math question here. If one person can't answer it within the specified time, it will be the third place. If two people can't answer it, the first place will be the first place. If two people don't answer it, the second round will compete for the second place. I've heard that there is an army. The first marching lasts for two hours, the second day marching for two and a half hours, and the second day marching for a total of 196 miles, and the second day walks four miles more than the first day. So what are the speeds of the march in these two days? If one-third of Zhuxiang can't answer it within one-third of the time, it will be a failure. Now start the timing!"

A minor official immediately took out a piece of incense, removed two-thirds, lit the remaining one-third and inserted it on the incense burner, and the timing officially began.

Ni Heng, Bing Yuan and Sima Lang are all young masters. They have read many books. All three have read books on arithmetic. Such a question cannot defeat them. The first one to answer was Ni Heng, followed by Sima Lang, and finally Bing Yuan. The three of them gave the answers within the specified time, winning the audience's applause.

"It seems that if you don't become officials, you can do accounting for someone and you won't starve to death!" Liu Cheng smiled.

"Swish--" Ni Heng couldn't help but sneer.

When Liu Cheng heard this, he turned his head and looked over. Seeing Ni Heng sneering, he was displeased and asked, "Ni Heng, why are you laughing? What's wrong with Ben Sikong's words?"

Ni Heng said with awesomeness: "Master Sikong said that we can do the accounting, but I think that the officials under Sikong's account are just like this. Xun Yu is only worthy of mourning for others, Xun You can be a tombkeeper, Jia Xu can be a teacher, Li Ru is just a bad slave, Zhang Liao is only worthy of being a drummer, Yan Xing can only be a groom, Zhao Yun is just a little white-faced, Xu Rong is only worthy of being a blacksmith, Wang Shuang can only kill pigs and dogs......"

"Sir!"

“Bold!”

"Shut up!"

"court death!"

For a moment, the people who were scolded stood up and scolded each other, and the scene became lively.

Ni Heng aggravated the public but was not afraid at all. He looked at Liu Cheng with a lustful face.

Liu Cheng was not angry, and walked to Ni Heng to look at him carefully. Ni Heng was furrowed all over when Liu Cheng saw him, and he shrank and said, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Cheng said: "Don't quarrel, I'm looking at whether you're crazy!"

The audience burst into laughter when they heard this: "Hahaha..."

Ni Heng's face turned red and changed, "You, you, you... I can tell you that I'm not a manly person!"

"As long as your virtue is, the sow will not pay attention to you!"

The audience laughed again: "Hahaha..."

Ni Heng finally knew Liu Cheng's power and no longer showed off his verbal skills. He said, "Sir Sikong is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is amazed by the acquaintance with a gang like me!"

Liu Chengdao: "I know that some young people are self-reliant and like to attract attention on many occasions and make some actions that go against common sense in order to attract others' attention, want to gain people's recognition, and want to be valued. You are the one with the strongest desire to show among such people. This is not surprising, but you should know the principle that too much is too much. If you want to show too much, you will be strong and act too out of order, which will arouse people's strong disgust, and even be considered crazy!"

"It is also a skill to be able to curse people. I heard that in ancient times, some people could scold another person in a few words. This is the highest level of cursing people. Although you curse people just now, you still can't reach this level. If you can't curse people, you may be killed by the scolded person. Compared with the two, which one do you think is higher or lower?"

"In such an occasion, His Majesty is present. As long as a person with normal mindset, he will not do such an extraordinary move like you. Do you think you are smart or stupid? Maybe you will think that if I kill you in anger, you will become famous, and then you will be very wrong. Your reputation is famous, but it is not a good reputation. You will be considered a representative of stupidity by people!"

Ni Heng couldn't speak for a long time, and finally he wanted Liu Cheng to bow and said, "Thank you, Lord Sikong, Ni Heng knew he was wrong!"

Liu Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Since you are a poor student, it is not easy to study, and it is even more difficult to learn with today's talent. I don't care about it, and the people you scolded will not be as knowledgeable as you, just like you. Okay, sit down!"
