Be a master through ancient times

"First of all, please look at your hands. There is a red rope hanging there, and a bell at the end of the red rope. Next, I will read the questions, and I can only ring the bell after I say that I have started to answer. After the bell rings, Zhou The Shangshu announces who will answer the question. If someone rings the bell in advance, the qualification for this round will be disqualified and [-] points will be deducted. The country that grabs the right to answer the question can be answered by any one of the five people. [-] points will be awarded for a correct answer, and [-] points will be deducted for an incorrect answer. Do you all understand?"

The students nodded in understanding.

"Well, now please take turns to pull the red rope at hand to see if the bell will ring, so as to avoid malfunction later." This is also to avoid possible disputes later.

Sitting behind the bell is not only Zhou Shangshu, but also the envoys of Yuexi Mengshe.The students pulled the red rope, the rope jumped slightly, and the bell rang "jingle bell".What they have to do is to watch the bell carefully in this round of competition to judge which side wins the answer, and then Zhou Shangshu raises a placard to inform Chu Ci.

"Okay, everyone has tried it now. Then, the rush to answer the second part of the question, now officially begins!" Chu Ci had a stack of question cards in his hand. I read, "The first question, Confucius said, there are three hundred poems, summed up in one sentence, saying, thinking is innocent. Excuse me, how many poems are included in the "Book of Songs", how many of them are Feng, Ya, and Song— —”

"Dinglingling——" a crisp bell sounded, and Chu Ci looked back, only to see Zhou Shangshu covering his face, picking up a writing board with the word "Dawei" written on it.

Chu Ci wanted to help his forehead. He knew that someone would foul, but he didn't expect that it was their student from Da Wei who fouled on the first question.

The student who was pulling the rope was flushed, embarrassed, and a little at a loss, because at this moment, bursts of laughter erupted from below.

He had been holding the red rope with his hand just now, waiting for Chu Siye to announce his rush to answer.Who knew that after Chu Siye finished reading the question just now, he realized that he could answer, so he was a little too excited for a moment, so he directly pulled the red rope, who knew that he broke the rules.

"Okay, just now our students from Da Wei gave you a wrong demonstration. Now, please deduct [-] points from Da Wei, and disqualify you from answering this round of questions. Now, students from Yue Analysis and Mengshe, please get ready and start rushing to answer !"

"Jingle Bell--"

"Jingle Bell--"

Two bells rang one after the other, Chu Ci looked back, Zhou Shangshu held up a sign, and wrote the word "Mengshe".

"Because Mengshe students are one step ahead, this opportunity to answer questions belongs to Mengshe students. Please send someone to answer within the specified time." Chu Ci smiled and looked towards Mengshe Kingdom.

Mengshe's No. [-] student stood up, and he was also the one who rang the bell just now.

"The Book of Songs contains a total of 311 poems, including six Sheng poems. A total of 160 Feng poems, 105 Ya poems, and 40 Song poems are collected."

"Please show the correct answer!"

A eunuch came up with a question board, and the answer on it was the same as the student's answer.

"Congratulations to this student for answering correctly, Mengshe added ten points! Don't rush to sit down, dare to ask your name?"

"The student's name is Hotur." The student didn't know why, but he answered Chu Ci's question honestly.Yue Xie and Meng She admired the Confucian culture learned by the Great Wei, so what they learned was similar to that of the Great Wei.

"Hotur, you just said that there are six Sheng poems in the "Book of Songs", so, do you know what a Sheng poem is?" Chu Ci asked.These students on the field are the elites selected by the Three Kingdoms. The setting of this link is naturally to make them famous in the world.In this way, more talents will sign up for the competition held by the Great Wei in the future, which will also be very helpful in promoting the influence of the Great Wei Dynasty. This is the so-called platform effect.

"The so-called Sheng poems are poems that only have titles but no articles. Although they are included in the "Book of Songs", they have no content." Huo Tuer thinks that Chu Ci must not be unaware.

"Hotul's answer is correct, please applaud for encouragement. Whether we are reading or doing other things, we should have a deep understanding, so that we can use it flexibly in our brains. After this question, let's look at the scores, Mengshe Accumulated 230 points, Yue analyzed 220 points, and Dawei accumulated 230 points."

The faces of several students from Dawei were very bad. They were [-] points ahead of the other two countries. Not only did they fail to score in this round, but they also deducted [-] points, which made them catch up in an instant!Lin Chengyi, a student of the Imperial Academy who was the culprit, lowered his head even more when he heard the score.

A hand next to him stretched out and pulled Lin Chengyi's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Chu Siye once said that failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that after failure, you don't want to make progress, and you don't get up after a setback. Have you forgotten?"

Lin Chengyi's heart was shaken, and he looked up to see that his companions were all looking at him. Although the others were a little annoyed, there was no blame in their eyes, but concern for him.Lin Chengyi clenched his fist hard, and made a decision in his heart. He must get back the ten points he lost just now!

Chu Ci stared at these students from the corner of his eye, seeing that Lin Chengyi had regained his fighting spirit, so he was relieved.

"The following is the second question. It is [-] miles from Mount Utulu to Mount Inca. If a young man rides a horse, he can run [-] miles a day. How long will it take in spring? Start answering!"

After Chu Ci finished reading the question, he felt something was wrong. This question seemed to have nine chapters, but it actually had another mystery. It asked how many days to reach in spring?Spring... spring!

While he was thinking, the bell rang over there.Zhou Shangshu smiled and held up a placard, which indeed had the word "Da Wei".

"Scholar Wei, please answer."

The fourth one who grabbed the question was Meng Yuanzhang, a student of Shaoshan Academy. After he stood up, he replied loudly: "It will take [-] and a half days."

There was a trace of pity in Chu Ci's eyes, he was really wrong!However, although he felt sorry for them and encountered such a tricky question when he first came, he still said with a well-trained smile on his face: "Please show the correct answer."

The eunuch came forward with the question board and wrote the word "no solution".

"Unfortunately, student Dawei gave the wrong answer, please deduct ten points."

Not only the students who answered the question were dumbfounded, but also the people below, "Why, I counted it for thirteen and a half days, how could there be no solution?"

"Yeah, maybe the answer is wrong?"

Huo Hua, Mengshe's prefect, was sitting in his seat, feeling elated, and he knew that other than Mengshe, the other two countries would not be able to get this question right.Even if they are preempted, there is only the possibility of deducting points.This is what the people of Wei often say... Subdue the enemy without fighting, right?Someone questioned it, so it was natural for someone to answer it, and then their Mengshe students could show their faces again.

Seeing the noisy voices below, Chu Ci walked to the side of the platform and knocked hard on the gong on the top.

"Please be calm, everyone. This question is from Mengshe Kingdom, and the answer should be correct." Chu Ci waited for everyone to calm down before speaking.

"But, why is there no solution?"

"Everyone does not know, according to the records of "Exotic Chronicles", there is a Liuhua River between Utulu Mountain and Inca Mountain. This river is tens of feet wide, and there is no bridge on it. Every spring, the river water soars, and ships cannot pass at all. The commuters will avoid the period of spring flooding, and will not cross the river until the shallow water period in summer. The condition of spring is specifically mentioned in the question, so no matter what is said before, it is useless. Therefore, this question- -No solution."

This question was purely a scam, so Chu Ci didn't intend to let their people explain it, but gave it by himself.

Huo Hua looked at Chu Ci in surprise, he didn't expect him to know this!The officials and students below were also suddenly enlightened, no wonder, if Chu Siye didn't explain, they wouldn't know the reason for this question at all.

"Let's look at the score again. At present, Mengshe has 230 points, Yueyan and Dawei each have 220 points. Now is the third question. Emperor Shengwu of the Great Wei Dynasty once issued an imperial decree to change the cold food to Qingming. People pay homage to their ancestors on this day. However, in ancient times, the Cold Food Festival was the day before Qingming. Excuse me, who is the reason for this Cold Food Festival, and what is the allusion to this person. Start answering."

Da Wei had deducted [-] points before, but now they dared not answer rashly. After Chu Ci finished speaking, they were sure that they could answer the question correctly before they went to ring the bell. As a result, Yue Xiguo took the lead.

"The Cold Food Festival came because of Jin Guojie Zitui. This person is the vassal of Jin Gongzi Chonger. On the way to exile, Gongzi Chonger was hungry. People live in seclusion in the mountains, burn the mountains to death, and this is the cold food festival."

After the Yueyan students got points for answering the questions correctly, Chu Ci also asked him to introduce himself as usual, giving him a chance to show off his talents.

Afterwards, Chu Ci reported the score again.This time, Mengshe and Yueyan each accumulated 230 points, and only Da Wei lagged behind, still [-] points behind them.

The officials and students of the Great Wei were a little anxious, and even Emperor Tianhe, who sat at the top, was a little restless under the eyes of the envoys of other countries.

But at this time, there are still people who want to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, the students of your country seem to be a little depressed today? Obviously some time ago, when they had a quarrel with the prince of our country, they were plausible." Jiuzhu Youxiang Shangquan said, the incident that happened not long ago Remembered in his mind, at that time he was busy establishing diplomatic relations with envoys from other countries, so he let the third prince go out by himself, who knew... He was annoyed at Tai Aman's stupidity, and felt that Wei was too deceitful!Seeing Dawei deflated at this moment, he naturally wanted to make a joke.

Lang Qiong and Zhao Qisu came to see the excitement and saw that it was a big deal, and they also followed suit. One said, "I have heard about the literary talents of the great Wei scholars for a long time, but now it seems that their reputation is in vain", and the other said, "You can't say that, just now The simple questions are still answered quite well, maybe these questions are too difficult.”

The other small countries didn't want to start a dispute, and let them say anything, they just sat aside and smiled.

Tianhedi couldn't get angry in his heart, be angry, it seems that he has no grace, don't be angry, how could he not be angry? !Obviously the difference is only ten, but they say it like this, it seems like heaven and earth, it is really annoying!

However, what is going on with these students, aren't they all selected to be outstanding?How many times and three times deducted points?And Chu Ci, who just guaranteed in front of him that if there were no accidents, he would definitely win?
