After seeing that the scholars heard what he said, Liu Xie waved his hand to Ji Huai beside him.

Ji Huai saw Liu Xie's gesture and knew what Liu Xie meant.

As a result, he quickly walked down the high platform, and Xiao Huangmen, who had been waiting under the high platform for a long time, quickly followed Ji Huai's footsteps.

Ji Huai came to the table of a scholar, turned around and took out a bamboo slip from the tray in Xiao Huangmen's hand, and handed it to the scholar.

The bamboo slips were sealed and painted in advance. No one knows what the title of the bamboo slips is.

I probably don’t even know the person who asked the question.

Although Liu Xie had already decided on the questions for this second round, the original question of "Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world" was broken down into four questions by Liu Xie and others.

They respectively correspond to "cultivation", "ordering the family", "ruling the country" and "pacifying the world".

And after these questions were written, they were immediately sealed with fire paint and then all scrambled.

His opponent Ji Huai, who was in charge of writing the questions, didn't know what each bamboo slip corresponded to. Even Liu Xie and Liu Yao, who were in charge of setting the questions, didn't know.

The scholar took the bamboo slips handed over by Ji Huai, first said goodbye to Ji Huai, and then melted the paint off in front of everyone and took out the bamboo slips.

Ji Huai did not stop in front of the scholar. After handing the bamboo slip to him, Ji Huai turned around and walked towards the scholar behind him.

After a while, Ji Huai handed down all the test questions and quickly returned to Liu Xie.

In order to show Liu Xie's importance to this literary competition, he not only arranged the main hall for the scholars to answer questions, but also prepared delicious food.

Similarly, good pen and ink were prepared, and even the silk books used to answer the questions were also of good quality.

After the scholars received the examination questions, some immediately started writing, while others closed their eyes and thought.

The only thing that was the same was that everyone was quiet. There was no conversation, and no one looked around.

Liu Xie looked at all this and nodded with satisfaction.

Throughout the main hall, apart from the sound of turning bamboo slips, there was also the sound of using an inkstone to grind ink.

Occasionally there will be a cough.

In such an environment, no matter who it is, they are worried that their breathing will be heavy and that they will disturb other people.

The assessment time this time is also two hours, which is four hours.

The time was very long, and Liu Xie was a person who couldn't sit still.

After reviewing the memorial for half an hour, he slowly raised his head and looked among the scholars.

As a result, when he looked around, he saw a young man waving a feather fan in his hand in the calm wind. When Liu Xie saw it, he suddenly felt a sense of astonishment.

In this deep winter, he is still there shaking his fan. Who is this person? He is almost ready to tell.

Liu Xie looked at that handsome face and said, what can I say, he is very handsome.

There was a hint of intelligence in his delicate appearance. After thinking about it, it seemed that in history, Zhuge Liang was the same age as himself.

This means that Prime Minister Ji Han, whom I am looking for now, is only sixteen years old.

In fact, according to the customs of the Han Dynasty, a sixteen-year-old man is considered an adult and can marry a wife and have children.

But after getting used to the appearance of the feather fan and silk scarf, or in other words, Mr. Tang's version of Zhuge Liang, it would be a bit weird to look at such a handsome Zhugege.

Moreover, Liu Xie was a little confused. Zhuge Liang, who was only sixteen years old, was already in such a state of mind. In such a big scene, others were busy writing, but he was still shaking his fan.

He always seems out of place with the people around him.

At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly thought of a theory, that is, Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage back then was actually a play directed by Zhuge Liang himself.

Think about it, at that time, although Liu Bei was in a state of decline, he was still a prince, and after all, he was a big shot.

At that time, Zhuge Liang was a commoner. Logically speaking, even if Zhuge Liang wanted to join Liu Bei, he would have to go and see him.

However, Zhuge Liang was smart. He knew that he took the initiative to seek refuge and would never be promoted faster than Liu Bei came to invite him. Therefore, Zhuge Liang arranged for people to sing about him among the people.

At that time, Liu Bei was cornered by Boss Cao. When he heard that Wolong was in the wild, he went directly to visit him without thinking. As for Zhuge Liang, in order to further improve his profile, two more people came to visit him.

When he was not at home, Liu Bei invited him three times.

To put it bluntly, since Liu Bei didn't say hello the first time and didn't meet Zhuge Liang after he went there, why would his servants tell him after Zhuge Liang came back?

Normally, if a superior comes to visit you and you are not at home, should you go and visit after you find out?

But Zhuge Liang didn't want to, and he wanted to go out for a while. As a result, Liu Bei missed the point for the second time. If you say this was not intentional, who would believe it?

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for some people to say that Zhuge Liang deliberately promoted himself.

However, Zhuge Liang is arrogant and loves to show off and promote himself, but he is indeed capable. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not have been able to develop from a small Xinyecheng to one that encompasses Yizhou, Hanzhong, and more.

Emperor Ji Han of half of Jingzhou.

After all, if you don't have the ability, but you put on such airs, you will only be laughed at.

At this time, Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang who was shaking his fan. His first reaction was, where is Zhuge Liang pretending to attract him?

Liu Xie wanted to laugh at this. He felt that if he walked over to check Zhuge Liang's article at this time, he definitely didn't write a word.

He could also use this to slap Zhuge Liang in the face, but Liu Xie held back in the end.

He is the emperor now. If he steps down from the high platform, he will definitely attract the attention of these scholars. Maybe it will make them nervous and make them make mistakes.

Therefore, in general invigilation, whether in ancient times or now, the invigilator usually sits where he is and will never move around easily.

Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang who continued to pretend to be serious, and could only shake his head in his heart. He felt that Zhuge Liang was a little naive in doing so. If he had this skill, he might as well think more about how to write the article, and try to polish the article to make it better.

Only in this way can it be more brilliant.

After Liu Xie laughed in his heart, he continued to scan the others. As Liu Xie's eyes moved, he suddenly saw a scribe wearing a turban on his head, who looked a little ordinary, and could even be said to be ugly.

In fact, to be fair, this young man cannot be said to be ugly, but it depends on how the people around him set him off.

If the people around him are all handsome guys, then this young man can be said to be a little ugly. But if they are a group of relatively ordinary people, then this young man, well, can only be said to be ordinary.

"This person is so ugly. Could it be Yang Song? But that's not right. How old is Yang Song now?"
