Seeing Sima Guang and the others come out, but without saying a word, they walked to the warehouse on the right, and the monarchs and ministers in the stands and the onlookers were all indescribably strange in their hearts.

Did Cui Wenqing win or lose? Why didn't all these people say a word?

All of a sudden, everyone was even more curious, and they couldn't stop looking at it.

Opening the warehouse door again, Sima Guang and the others had just walked in, and they stopped in surprise, looking at the situation inside, and suddenly froze.

At the same time, Gao Shiyu howled in disbelief, lost his soul and fell to the ground.

In the warehouse, no less than seventy or eighty of the original hundred and ten candles have been extinguished, and most of the warehouse is already dark, and there is no more dazzling light just now.

"What's going on?" Sima Guang was dumbfounded for a while, obviously not knowing what was going on, and he didn't know why so many candles were suddenly extinguished.

Chen Ningmo was also dazed and ignorant, looked at Cui Wenqing with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and secretly wondered: Could it be that this guy sent someone to secretly come and blow out the candles in the warehouse? But how can anyone sneak into the warehouse without being noticed? How did he know the candle would go out?

At this time, Gao Shiyu suddenly got up from the ground and said in shock and anger: "Cui Wenqing, what demon method did you use to extinguish the candles in the warehouse?" For the sake of victory, you actually tricked me like this and harmed me? ”

Cui Wenqing looked at him with a funny face, and said with a faint smile: "It's not that you used any demon techniques, but I know that I have a hunch that your candles will go out." ”

Sima Guang has always been very intelligent, but he still didn't know what was going on at this time, so he asked out out of curiosity: "Cui Wenqing, now that you don't want to sell Guanzi, why do you know that the candle will go out, please tell me in detail." ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Prime Minister Sima, the light full warehouse seems to be very smart, but it is stupid to use it in the warehouse, because the candle burns, it can't do without the air, so this method is not advisable." ”

"Air? What is this? Sima Guang and Chen Ningmo looked at each other, both of them were world-renowned wise men, who knew astronomy and geography, but they couldn't understand Cui Wenqing's novel vocabulary.

Cui Wenqing also knew that it would be very difficult to explain the air to them now, so he retreated and said: "Let's put it this way, this air can be understood as the vitality in the Taoist classics, clear qi, we breathe and exhale all the time, what is consumed is air, it is not able to see and touch the hands and ears, but it exists in the gas around us, and the burning of the flame is also inseparable from the air, and it consumes a lot of air." ”

"In fact, I thought of the method of filling the warehouse with lights very early, and I also asked my grandfather about these granaries with Jiacang, only to know that in order to store grain for a long time, the granary must be insect-proof, moisture-proof and waterproof, which requires that the warehouse must be able to isolate the outside world as much as possible, so when the warehouse is built, all the seams are tightly closed without leaving gaps, which means that as long as the warehouse doors and windows are closed, the air inside cannot be circulated and exchanged with the outside world, and to use the light to fill the entire granary, more than 100 candles are needed, In this confined environment, a hundred candles will quickly run out of air in the warehouse, and in the absence of air, it will naturally be extinguished a lot. ”

After listening to Cui Wenqing's explanation, everyone was stunned.

Sima Guang smiled and sighed: "It turns out that there is such a mysterious thing in heaven and earth, air? Hehe, it's really a word I've never heard before, but according to Cui Gongzi, it does exist around us. ”

Chen Ningmo looked at Cui Wenqing with a hint of imperceptible appreciation in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, and I can also deduce that the candles in the warehouse will be extinguished a lot, which can indeed be regarded as a subtle understanding, in the opinion of this official, Cui Wenqing should win this competition." ”

Sima Guang nodded happily and said: "Yes, firstly, Cui Wenqing took very little time, secondly, it was indeed full of dust, and thirdly, it was indeed inappropriate to fill the warehouse with light, so this competition was regarded as Cui Wenqing's victory." ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Wei and the others couldn't help but cheer, obviously very excited and happy.

Originally, after Gao Shiyu came up with this method of full lights, everyone thought that Cui Wenqing must have lost, indeed, before such a whimsical idea, Rao is Cui Wenqing was resourceful, and I believe it is extremely difficult to compete.

However, what he didn't expect was that Cui Wenqing used a wonderful method to show everyone countless dusts in the warehouse, although it was a bit tricky, but it also made Sima Guang speechless.

But the most exciting thing is that he deduced that the candle used by Gao Shiyu will be extinguished, and with the ability to see the subtleties, he immediately let the original victory in Gao Shiyu lose the battle, and also laid his own victory, such a competition, it is really exciting!

When Sima Guang went out to announce the results and told the detailed process of the competition, everyone was also surprised, followed by a buzzing discussion.

Rao is a review of many classics from ancient times to the present, and there has never been such a word as air.

And the reason why people breathe and exhale, what they exhale and inhale is also the vitality of heaven and earth, so in the hearts of many people, the air that Cui Wenqing said is listed as the vitality of heaven and earth, and they can barely understand it.

However, the dust that exists everywhere between heaven and earth is beyond the imagination of many people, but listening to Sima Guangyi's explanation, everyone is a little surprised.

A ray of sunlight shines into the darkness, and there will indeed be a lot of fine dust, which is also visible to the eyes, but I didn't expect Cui Wenqing to use such a means to complete the competition, which is also admirable.

On the high platform, Chen Hong couldn't help laughing, and exclaimed: "What a young man, he could think of winning in such a way, and the method used by Gao Shiyu was still unwilling to be used by him, so it would naturally be regarded as Cui Wenqing's victory!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Anshi and the others naturally gave up their words, greatly admiring the wisdom of the Holy Son of Heaven.

Faced with such a situation, Xie Junhao's face was blue and red for a while, and he was so angry that he was sullen and depressed, and his face became very ugly.

Cui Wenqing, who is so hateful, actually had a plan, but it is ridiculous that he found a way for a resourceful person to think about winning, but he didn't expect that the method used was something that people didn't look down on at all.

This time, not only did Gao Shiyu make a big ugly, but also lost the position of the president of the student union, which is really worth the loss!

On the high platform, Chen Hong glanced meaningfully at Xie Junhao, whose face was pale and speechless, and suddenly ordered in a loud voice: "Someone, pass the decree, and let Cui Wenqing come to see him quickly." ”

Unexpectedly, the official family actually summoned Cui Wenqing on the spot, but the ministers were a little surprised, and the little chamberlain standing next to him nodded, and hurriedly passed the order.
