After Huo Xuesi took Liu Hua's answer, he watched it carefully, and then said lightly: "In the game between No. 2 and No. 7, the winning player was No. 7 Liu Hua, and No. 2 Wu Yuyu was eliminated. ”

Hearing that he was eliminated, Wu Yuyu was full of grievances, many of his talents had not had time to be displayed, and he was defeated in such a daze, seeing that Huo Xuesi was about to turn around and leave, Wu Yuyu opened his mouth to protest:

"Mr. Huo, please stay, students have objections to the question of this competition, since it involves the topic of "history", it should be from the "Historical Records", "Twenty-four History" or "General History" and other historical documents.

Students have been studying the four books and five classics since childhood, memorizing the eight strands of literature day and night, and studying the subset of scriptures and history for ten years, although they dare not claim to be rich and rich, but they are also worthy of reading more than 10,000 volumes, but in this competition, the knowledge that students have learned, but none of them are used, and the students think that the question is unreasonable and ask for a new question. ”

Seeing Wu Yuyu standing in place indignantly, and then hearing his impassioned and unwilling protest bluntness, Huo Xuesi replied lightly: "These four questions are from the Holy Lords today, if you protest, you can go directly to the steps to find the Holy Lords to protest." After speaking, Huo Xuesi walked in the direction of Duan Zhiwen's group.

After hearing Huo Xuesi's words, the impassioned emotion on Wu Yuyu's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a flattering smile: "Hehe...... No wonder this question is so mysterious, it turned out to be given by the Lord Long Live Lord, and the students were convinced. ”

After giving himself a round, Wu Yuyu retreated with a smile on his face. Seeing that Wu Yuyu was also eliminated, I don't know why? A trace of excitement flashed in Li Pingyong's heart, and he felt that he was no longer so embarrassed.

After about ten minutes, the other three groups also divided the winners one after another, including Liu Hua, the four winning players were, Wang Di, Liu Hua, Bai Xiaoyu, and Duan Zhiwen.

When Liu Hua and the four of them walked beside Huo Xuesi, Huo Xuesi was relieved: "The four of you have passed the semi-finals, and now you are indirectly equivalent to having a reward, but there is also a gap in the level of these four rewards, and who can get a better reward depends on your respective results."

The better your results, the higher your ranking, the higher your ranking, the more generous your rewards, perhaps, every time you improve your ranking, you can fight for ten years less, for your future, you all show your real talents.

In this competition, it is still an elimination system, and only two of the four of you can advance, and the players who advance compete for the first and second.

The two who were eliminated, the first competition, according to the results of the competition to determine the third and fourth place, this round of the competition by Mr. Tang Mengchen and Mr. Chen Yuanlong as judges, this round of the competition, no time limit, your answers, will be presented to the Holy Emperor, I hope you will answer the questions well.

Now I will begin to read out the title, and ask the four talents to explain their views on the current politics according to their own views, discuss the current situation of the imperial court, and talk about the direction of the future development of the imperial court. ”

After hearing Huo Xuesi's question, Liu Hua and the four looked at each other, and then they were all stunned, none of the four dared to write, but pondered how to answer this question, this era does not advocate freedom of speech, if a sentence is inappropriate, it will immediately lead to death.

Talking about the government in vain, but it's a big taboo, if it is said that the emperor's heart is fine, but if it is not right, although there is nothing in front of him, but it will be impossible to say in the future, and when he will suffer a disaster if he is not sure.

Liu Hua carefully analyzed the connotation of this topic from his mind, in this feudal era, no one dared to ask such a question, because this question involved the imperial court, and the most taboo thing for emperors was that someone made vain comments on the government and politics.

But right now, this question has just appeared, and it is still in front of Kangxi, judging by this phenomenon, the person who asked the question should be Kangxi, but why did Kangxi come up with such an exam question? What signal does he want to send to the outside world?

carefully recalled the deeds of Kangxi in his later years, and there were two things that attracted Liu Hua's attention, one was Kangxi's second abolition of the crown prince, and the other was Kangxi's rectification of the dynasty in his later years, and strict investigation of official corruption.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua's heart moved, and he said in his heart: "It's rare that this question is related to those two things?" Subsequently, Liu Hua verified his judgment in his heart, and he felt that his inference should be correct.

He guessed that Kangxi wanted to use this competition to release a signal to the outside world that the imperial court was going to purge those officials suspected of corruption, and this topic was the fuse of the purge action, perhaps, Kangxi hoped that someone could create an excuse for him.

Thinking about this, Liu Hua looked left and right, and saw that Duan Zhiwen had already started to write, Wang Di was also holding a brush and preparing to write the answer, Bai Xiaoyu was still standing there hesitating, it seemed that she already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't know how to answer.

According to the expressions of the three of them, looking at the smile on Duan Zhiwen's face like a spring breeze, Liu Hua guessed that his answer should be mainly to praise the government, and Bai Xiaoyu should follow this question to avenge his grievances, Wang Di's expression was joyless and carefree, and Liu Hua was not good at judging his answer.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hua gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Isn't it just a question to support the bold and starve to death the timid, since you dare to come out, I dare to answer, the east wind blows, the war drums are beating, who is afraid of this idea." ”

After making up his mind, Liu Hua picked up the brush, pondered for a while, and wrote his title on the paper: "The imperial court needs to be treated, the corruption of officials needs to be investigated, the government needs to be corrected, the judiciary is not powerful and needs to be shocked, and the extravagance of hundreds of officials needs to be changed. ”

Then, in the article, Liu Hua took Bai Zhiyu's case as an example to tell about the scourge of corruption, and then talked about the impact of corruption on the country's society according to the policies and guidelines of later generations for Kangxi's governance of corruption in his later years.

Liu Hua wrote in the article that if officials are corrupt, the imperial court will fall into a state of illness, and once the imperial court is paralyzed, the rule of officials will begin to tilt, and once the rule of officials is tilted, officials will not be afraid of the punishment of the law.

Over time, hundreds of officials will have a style of luxury comparison, one by one, all of their thoughts are used on how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and in the long run, the people will be forced to be helpless, and they will break out, so that the country will not be far from extinction

In short, Liu Hua didn't say anything except good things and beautiful things, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, he commented on the current situation as useless, and then asked the court to make up its mind, cut the carrion, scrape the bones, and use thunderous means to save the building from falling.

After writing, Liu Hua saw that Bai Xiaoyu and the three of them had already handed in their respective answer sheets, and he didn't know what kind of consequences his answer sheet would cause? But he knew that if the historical records were correct, then his answer sheet was exactly what Kangxi needed.

After thinking for a while, Liu Hua raised his hand to hand over the paper, and when Huo Xuesi took the answer sheet from Liu Hua's hand with a smile, he glanced at it casually, but it was this glance that shocked him for a short time, and he looked at Liu Hua with a shocked face:

"Liu Gongzi, are you sure you want to submit this answer sheet? Once this volume is transmitted to the saint, I am afraid that it will cause the saint to be angry, and it will not cause Liu Gongzi to be killed, I hope Liu Gongzi will think twice. ”
