Chapter 411: Courage
Sitting around Jiang Yuetang were all important ministers and top strategists of the imperial court, and all of them were old enough to be her father, so she was particularly abrupt when she sat there.
The left end of the cabinet scholar couldn't help but sigh to the official Shangshu Jinding standing next to him: "It's not easy to have the courage to challenge the 'Ninth Five-Year Competition' at such a young age!"
Jin Ding has always admired Jiang Yuetang, and after listening to the words of the left end, he also smiled and said, "But not?"
Standing next to Jinding, the Imperial Emperor of the Imperial Palace, Jun Zipeng, said: "I saw him walking up to His Majesty and whispering something to His Majesty, I don't know if he was talking about him going to compete. ”
"Tsk," the left end sighed, "I only know how to open up a path for myself at the age of nine, and this consciousness alone is a few streets behind my peers." ”
When Jin Ding was about to answer, he heard someone above shouting the words 'Examiner Admission', and he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth and set his eyes on the field.
It was still Jiang Chuanxiong who strode towards the main examination table with a hundred questions in his hand, and after he arrived at the main examination table, he put the exam questions on the table, pressed one hand naturally on the exam questions, and then looked at the contestants in the competition area under the stage.
He unconsciously looked at Jiang Yuetang first, and saw that Jiang Yuetang was also looking at him, the latter's big bright eyes were both firm and slightly nervous, but he always had a smile on his face, as if to say to him, 'Daddy, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best.' ’
Jiang Chuanxiong glanced at the contestants, and then said loudly: "The first fifty questions are quick answers, the test is the flexibility of thinking, the last fifty questions are slow answers, the test is the accumulation and application of knowledge, I hope you will try to answer as many questions as possible in the first fifty questions to get a high score, and in the next fifty questions, you should be careful and careful, and you would rather be slow than answer wrong, otherwise it is very easy to lose points, do you understand?"
The contestants nodded their heads.
Jiang Chuanxiong nodded, then smiled in the direction of the emperor.
The Emperor nodded at him as well.
"The game is on. Gonggong Liu said loudly.
Jiang Chuanxiong glanced at the contestants again, and saw that Jiang Yuetang was already engrossed in waiting for him to read the question, so he said aloud: "Question 1: The marshal is one level higher than the general, so under what circumstances can the marshal be equal to the general?"
Jiang Yuetang hurriedly replied: "When playing chess." ”
"That's right. Zhaoguo scored one point. Jiang Chuanxiong smiled.
Then Jiang Chuanxiong continued: "Question 2: When a farmer is carrying a bag of rice on his shoulder, holding a dog in his hand, and holding a chicken in his arms, when he arrives at the river and wants to cross the river by boat, the boatman says that the farmer can only take one thing to cross the river at a time, what can the farmer do to bring them across the river safely?"
Obviously, this question is much more difficult than the previous one, and you have to think about it before you can answer it, so the whole audience immediately started to think about it.
"You can only bring one ...... at a time When the chickens and rice are left, the chickens will eat the rice, and when the dogs and the chickens are left, the dogs will eat the chickens......" Jiang Yuetang's brain was running rapidly, and soon she had an answer, so she replied loudly: "The farmer will take the chickens to the other side on the first trip, bring the dogs over on the second trip and bring the chickens back, bring the rice over on the third trip, and bring the chickens over on the fourth trip." ”
The audience at the scene immediately focused on Jiang Yuetang, and many people applauded.
Jiang Yuetang's face was always calm.
"The little son of the Jiang family has the majesty of Lord Shoufu back then. Someone in the crowd whispered.
Jiang Chuanxiong also heard this sentence, and he was quite relieved in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and he continued: "That's right. The Akikuni team scored another point. After speaking, he added: "The other teams are going to come on." ”
Then he read the third question.
After the first ten questions were read, Jiang Yuetang's Zhaoguo team had scored a total of eight points, of which six points were earned by Jiang Yuetang.
"Question 12: A peasant was accused of being falsely accused, and he pleaded not guilty, and the county magistrate had already received a bribe, and he could not let go of it, but he could not find a reason to dispose of the peasant, so he came up with a bad idea: the county magistrate ordered someone to write ten notes, and then said to the peasant, 'Here are ten notes, one of which has the word 'live' written on it, and the other nine have the word 'death' written on it, 'Give you a chance to touch one, if you touch the word 'live', I will release you, if you touch it' Death', then accept your fate. 'What should this farmer do if he wants to survive?' Jiang Chuanxiong read aloud.
As soon as the question was finished, many players frowned slightly.
"The county magistrate will definitely make a bad note in order to kill this peasant. This is the first thing Jiang Yuetang realized after listening to the title.
In order to be foolproof, it is very likely that this county official will have the word 'death' written on all ten slips of paper, Jiang Yuetang further analyzed.
With that, her mind suddenly lit up, and she immediately replied: "The peasant immediately grabbed one of them and swallowed it." ”
As a result, the remaining nine are all 'dead'.
Everyone present was stunned and immediately applauded.
"That's right. Zhaoguo scored another point. Jiang Chuanxiong said loudly.
The emperor, who was sitting in the stands, unconsciously changed his posture.
By the time question 68 was answered, the Zhaoguo team had scored a total of 40 points, far ahead of the other teams.
"Question 91: An army with a total of 20,000 soldiers was ordered to capture the city of Jiacheng in three days, which stretched for 800 miles and had more than 80,000 inhabitants....... How many types of terrain are involved in the 'terrain' of Castle Jia? In addition, please draw three strategies from the "Thirty-six Strategies" and three methods from the "Art of War" to formulate a battle plan for capturing it. ”
At this time, most of the contestants were so tired that their brains couldn't turn, and only two or three were still concentrating on thinking about the answer, including Jiang Yuetang.
Jiang Yuetang pondered while drawing on the paper, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "It involves the branch, narrow, and ...... in the 'terrain'."
After that, Jiang Yuetang answered the ninety-fifth, ninety-eighth and ninety-ninth questions correctly, and when Jiang Chuanxiong read out the hundredth question, she felt like her brain was filled with paste, and she couldn't figure out the clues.
Not only her, but the other team members also fell into a state of extreme exhaustion, so no one answered the question after nearly a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Yuetang felt that her eyelids were about to be opened, and her mind seemed to be stuffed with a stone, so heavy that she couldn't even think clearly, but she didn't mean to give up at all, and concentrated on doing calculations on paper.
