Chapter 277: The First Champion
Chapter 277 Top Champion
……
"A little more, a little more." When he used to go to the Jinluan Palace, the thing that Zhao Zhe hated the most was that those eunuchs and palace maids had to apply a thick layer of powder on their faces. But this time, Zhao Zhe encouraged the eunuchs and palace maids to paint themselves so much that they almost couldn't recognize themselves. Those eunuchs and palace maids were almost about to collapse by tossing, trembling and holding on to all this, and they didn't know what medicine the emperor had taken wrong today. I am apprehensive in my heart, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. Those ministers were better, but they were frightened by the little eunuchs and palace maids. After staying in the palace for a long time, you will always hear all kinds of stories such as the emperors of the past dynasties, and usually these little eunuchs and palace maids are the most unlucky, and they may often die for a little thing.
His own emperor, although the past two years have been much better. But since he ascended the throne, he has killed many people, and I don't know how many eunuchs and palace maids have died at his hands.
Of course, Zhao Zhe didn't know what those little eunuchs and palace maids thought, and after putting on heavy makeup, he set off to the Jinluan Palace. The civil and military officials have already been on standby in the palace, and they are neat and tidy. The Jinluan Palace Palace test has always been an extremely grand event. Not only here, today will decide who is the champion, and at noon the emperor will also set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate the new champion. This kind of rare banquet is one of the best channels to bring the officials closer to the emperor, and in the same way, most people will also woo the new champions and nobles one by one to strengthen their own factions.
"The emperor has arrived." As the little eunuch hissed and shouted, the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted: "Welcome to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Zhao Zhe glanced at the court officials who were kneeling down below, and felt a sense of relief in his heart for no reason. He's not the kind of guy who is sanctimonious and full of bright thoughts. Hegemonism, talent-reading, and conquest haunt his heart all the time. Let the world prostrate at your feet, and control everyone's life and death in your hands, this feeling is really refreshing.
Although the moment of striding towards the dragon chair is not the first time to experience it. But every time, Zhao Zhe would feel his momentum and carry out a sublimation.
"Get up." After Zhao Zhe sat down with extraordinary grace, he waved his hand indifferently.
"Your Majesty." All the ministers stood up in unison, bent over, bowed their heads, and looked at His Highness respectfully. The court meeting, naturally, has the rules of the court meeting. Civil and military officials can't look up at the emperor directly, that's a big disrespectful charge.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." Liu Zhongyun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, held an ivory wat in his hand and bent over the ranks.
"Exactly." Zhao Zhe leaned lazily on the dragon chair, drinking the new tea before the rain served by the palace maid, the taste was fragrant and long.
"Your Majesty, one hundred and ninety-three tributes who have passed the examination are already waiting outside the palace. I don't know if the emperor wants to announce them in and start the palace test. Although Liu Zhongyun is not young, he speaks clearly and passionately, as if he is full of passion.
"Let them in." Zhao Zhe also knew that this matter had to be resolved.
The eunuchs soon brought in all the tributes. After meeting the emperor, they sat on the seats on both sides of the main hall, and each of the little eunuchs issued a test paper.
"The exam time is one hour, and you can't talk to each other......" The eunuchs began to preach the rules of the exam, and this test paper was a question written by Zhao Zhe himself. There is only one question, which is the pirate gold division question in Zhao Zhe's memory. However, he changed a little, and became five robbers who robbed a hundred gems, and the strongest robber gave priority to the distribution plan, and the others voted, and when more than half of the people agreed, the distribution plan passed. Otherwise, kill the robber who proposed the distribution. Next is distributed by the person with the second strongest. Ask, how should the first robber be distributed in order to maximize his own interests and save his life. Of course, there is a premise that all robbers are very smart, sensible, and can think holistically.
This is a logical question that Zhao Zhe saw on the Internet back then, which tests people's logical reasoning ability very much. As a result, Zhao Zhe gave this question to the tributes for testing. What excited the tribute soldiers the most was that the eunuch said that whoever gave the correct answer first would be the champion of this palace test.
This is Zhao Zhe's intention, girls generally have weaker logical thinking. Zhao Zhe bullied Wei Zhenzhen and didn't want her to be the champion, so that he could blatantly make all kinds of suggestions to Zhao Zhe, but it also blocked the mouths of those civil officials who admired Wei Zhenzhen. This question, don't look simple, but it is full of traps, anyway, when Zhao Zhe first encountered this topic, he didn't get it right.
However, the elated tributes, when they encountered this problem, after understanding it for a while, were dumbfounded. This is a strange question that they have never encountered in their lives, and the emperor actually came up with a strange question about robbers dividing gems in the palace examination. But the holy order is difficult, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy, because the eunuch announced that if anyone's answer is wrong, he will be disqualified from the tribute and continue to be your master.
Although someone quickly figured out their own answer, no one dared to hand in the paper without being completely sure. In case it's wrong, let alone the champion, even the Jinshi qualification is gone. Those who can stand out in the national surname exam, and under Liu Zhongyun's strict monitoring, few are stupid. Of course, I know that the first priority is to ensure the correct answer, and the second is to strive for the ranking.
Looking at those tributes, they all looked like bitter gourd faces. The civil and military officials also felt very strange, could it be that the emperor's topic this time was difficult? However, Zhao Zhe was sitting there with a smile, and the old god was drinking tea, enjoying the comfort of the palace maid pinching her shoulders.
Time is passing little by little. Almost a quarter of an hour passed, and Zhao Zhe also glanced at it occasionally, sitting in the front row, relying on himself to be the nearest Wei Zhenzhen, who was meditating on that topic. Laughing secretly in my heart, Brother Wei Xian, dumbfounded, right? Don't blame Brother Fool, you said that you want to discuss those embarrassing policies with Brother Fool in the Jinluan Palace. If you can't do it, hehe, let's go home obediently and wait for the foolish brother to come to the door.
Who would have thought, before Zhao Zhe finished being proud. Someone began to hand in the papers, and the little eunuch held the test paper in front of Zhao Zhe. Zhao Zhe saw that although the distribution model could allow the first robber to save his life, it was by no means the most profitable way. I had to make a fork on it and let the little eunuch send people out of the palace.
This move suddenly made people nervous. It can be seen that the man must have done something wrong. One by one, they became more cautious and did not dare to hand in the papers easily. After a few more minutes, Wei Zhenzhen handed in the paper without fear of death. Zhao Zhe was stunned for a moment, and took the test paper in the little eunuch's hand.
The above answer made Zhao Zhe's heart stagnate, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but it was exactly the same as the correct answer in his memory. Damn, I didn't expect Miss Wei Zhenzhen's logical thinking ability to be so strong. It seems that in only twenty minutes, the correct answer has been given. This is also because people in this era rarely come into contact with theoretical and logical problems.
Of course, Zhao Zhe did not completely agree on this question, and gave several answers in his heart. But there is no doubt that if it can be regarded as a theoretical answer, it is clear that Wei Zhenzhen is right. Of course, the most important thing is not that Wei Zhenzhen gave the correct answer and analyzed the reasons. To Zhao Zhe's surprise, she strongly condemned this broken topic, thinking that although this thing is logical, it is extremely contrary to reality and has too many loopholes. And listed more than a dozen refutations with reality one by one.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zhe had to approve a champion on her test paper. For the time being, he didn't say anything, and still asked Wei Zhenzhen to be invited out. Next, proceed to the exam. The hour came quickly, and more than half of them handed in the papers in advance for Zhao Zhe to review by hand. The last half of the people handed in the paper at the last moment, and it was also reviewed by Zhao Zhe. The answer is a bit bizarre.
However, according to theory, there appear to be only twelve people who are completely correct. Obviously, there is a gap between it and what was expected, you know, these are the top intellectuals in the Great Zhao Empire at present. It's not a cat or a dog that just came out of nowhere. And these twelve people are all extremely confident and submit the papers in advance. Of course, Zhao Zhe sorted them according to the time when they handed in the papers.
There were still a dozen people left, filled the first robber to swallow a hundred gems for himself. Although the answer was wrong, Zhao Zhe called them in and asked them one by one why they proposed this distribution plan. Some people can't say why, but there are so many of them, but they are quite stubborn and say that since the first robber is the strongest, what kind of distribution do you talk about, and directly pull out the knife to kill the other robbers and swallow a hundred of them, which is in line with the maximization of interests.
Zhao Zhe also let them enter the siege, directly threw them to the Ministry of Rites, and turned back to let them all be diplomats.
However, there are several, carefully listing the mistakes of this question, and sprinkled dozens of them. The analytical ability is quite good, although this is a theoretical logic question that can test a person's logical reasoning ability, but Zhao Zhe also thinks that it is obviously unrealistic for fools. The reason why Zhao Zhe asked them to rely on this question was to test everyone's analytical ability and thinking ability. Even those who did the wrong question, but strongly pointed out all kinds of abnormal thinking in the question, Zhao Zhe also let them be included in the list. Of course, except for those who give the really correct answers, the rest of the people will be ranked according to the ranking of the entrance examination.
"Wei Zhe, a person from the capital, is the top leader." The eunuch's voice broke and began to announce the rankings outside. Although Zhao Zhe is extremely reluctant to defend Zhenzhen, he ranks as the champion. But I have to admit that she is indeed very powerful and much smarter than herself.
