On the square, Cui Wenqing was angry and funny, and said: "Rub! I was so taken aback by this beautiful lady that I thought I had lost. ”

When Sima Wei heard Cui Wenqing's words, she was a little sluggish, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Gao Shiyu, isn't the number of votes four hundred and thirty-three votes?" It seems that I also got 433 votes, so I have the same number of votes as him! ”

Sima Weimei's eyes widened, and she looked at Cui Wenqing in disbelief for a while, and then she came back to her senses, and said with surprise and joy: "Yes, it is indeed four hundred and thirty-three votes, why is Bachelor Chen ......?"

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Fool, Bachelor Chen only said the top two just now, and only read out the number of votes for my and Gao Shiyu's names, but did not say who was the first and who was the second, but we thought that I won the second and Gao Shiyu won the first according to the inertia of her name reading." ”

When these words landed, Sima Wei completely understood, and was stunned for a while.

At this time, a small number of students slowly came back to their senses, and a burst of whispers continued to sound, and the truth gradually echoed like ripples in the water.

Gao Shiyu, who thought that he had won the first place, was full of excitement, but when he heard these whispers, he suddenly felt like a slap in the face, his excitement was gone, and his face became very ugly.

Sure enough, Chen Ningmo on the high platform paused, and when the audience was a little quieter, he said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the top two were won by Gao Shiyu and Cui Wenqing, and both of them had 433 votes, tied for the first place. ”

The clear voice echoed in the square, and it could be regarded as revealing the truth of the ranking, and the students were stunned.

However, after all of a sudden, everyone wondered for a while.

Since both of them are tied for first place with 433 votes, can't they both be the presidents of this student union?

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country, and it is naturally impossible for the student union to set up two presidents.

All of a sudden, people were of the same mind and reason, and the students couldn't help but talk about it.

On the small building of the ceremony, hearing the truth of what Chen Ningmo said in person, Chen Hong couldn't stop crying and laughing, and said: "I didn't expect such a turn, this Ning Mo, isn't Cui Wenqing her student?" What kind of grudge do the two have, they actually want to pit Cui Wenqing like this once, so that everyone thinks that Cui Wenqing has lost. ”

Wang Anshi also said with a wry smile: "Yes, at first, the old minister also thought that Cui Wenqing lost, but he didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yang Wenguang laughed heartily, glanced at his face with contempt, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I'll just say, with Wenqing's character and ability, how can he lose to Gao Shiyu?" ”

Sima Guang said with a smile: "But the two have the same number of votes, but it's a little difficult to do, is it a re-vote?" ”

Chen Hong shook his head and said: "It is unlikely that the re-vote will be re-elected, and I don't know if Xiao Cui Aiqing can have other good strategies to decide the first or second ranking." ”

Hearing this, Xie Junhao couldn't sit still any longer, got up and said: "Official, Cui Wenqing is one of the candidates, and he has to compete with Gao Shiyu for the first place, how can he use his good strategy to decide the final victory?" Wouldn't this be unfair to Gao Shiyu? Weichen felt that this matter should be handled by the imperial court. ”

This statement was still reasonable, Chen Hong had to nod in agreement, looked around at the important ministers and asked in a deep voice: "Then I don't know what good plan you Aiqing has?" ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Anshi replied: "Official, since the two have the same number of votes, let them compete in front of everyone, the winner is the first, and the loser is the second." ”

"An Shi is a good way." Chen Hong nodded, smiled and asked, "Since it's a competition, have you thought of a way to compete?" ”

"The old minister has a plan." Sima Guang stood up and said nothing.

Chen Hong waved his hand and said, "Sima Aiqing, but it's okay to say it." ”

Sima Guang nodded, and then said the plan that came to mind, and when he finished listening, all the ministers were silent.

Halfway through, Chen Hong looked around and said with a smile: "What Sima Aiqing said can be described as an intellectual competition." ”

Sima Guang smiled and said: "If you don't have a little resourcefulness, how can you manage the student union of a thousand people, the old minister thinks it is the right place." ”

Chen Hong bowed his head slightly, and asked Xie Junhao: "As for Sima Xianggong's policy, I don't know what Xie Aiqing thinks?" ”

Xie Junhao thought about it, thinking that he could also help Gao Shiyu, so he no longer refused, and said, "Weichen has no objection." ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong made a decision: "Okay, tell Ning Mo the content of the competition, and let Gao Shiyu and Cui Wenqing compete in a dignified manner." ”

Soon, an attendant came to the high platform with Chen Hong's edict to deliver the message.

After listening to the words, Chen Ningmo was stunned but couldn't help laughing, and motioned to send away the messenger, and then said loudly again: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, Cui Wenqing and Gao Shiyu are standing side by side, and it is difficult to decide on the chairman. ”

Cui Wenqing knew that there was no way to do it, so he naturally would not raise objections, and Gao Shiyu didn't expect that he would get the same number of votes as Cui Wenqing, and he sighed and only agreed.

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Chen Ningmo said: "The test question issued by the official family is a wisdom test question, in the northeast of Luoyang Palace City, there are two vacant granaries without a thing, and the people who are required to compete move things into the warehouse, fill the empty warehouse, and the person who fills it full and fast wins." ”

When the words fell, there was a gentle noise, and the students couldn't help but talk about it.

Cui Wenqing knew that Hanjiacang was the largest granary in Luoyang City, and the warehouse was high and wide enough to hold thousands of stones of grain, so it was not easy to fill it.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but get up and ask, "Dare to ask Master Chen, is it only allowed to fill grain in the warehouse?" Can I ask for more people during the competition? ”

Chen Ningmo explained lightly: "The official has made it clear just now, as long as it is something, food is naturally feasible, as for manpower, it can only be a person who competes, and cannot invite outsiders to help." ”

Hearing this, the students were surprised again, and the discussion continued.

This "empty warehouse filler" sounds very simple, but firstly, it can only be participated by the contestants themselves, and secondly, no matter what the fills are, there are indeed some tests of resourcefulness, and I don't know who thought of this method, Rao is Cui Wenqing, and he frowned for a while.

Chen Ningmo continued: "The competition will be held in Hanjiacang the day after tomorrow, and the two contestants can also take this opportunity to prepare, and whoever can win the competition will be the president of the student union." ”

After the student union ceremony ended, the students gradually dispersed, and Cui Wenqing and others had already left the square and headed towards the square gate.
