Sima Yi bowed respectfully to Gao Fei and said slowly: "The word 'Your Majesty' in 'Your Majesty' actually refers to the steps of the emperor's palace. The Prime Minister Cai Yong once explained that the emperor sent his
The ministers are standing at the steps of the palace with weapons in hand to guard against any unexpected events. Therefore, below the emperor are the ministers of the emperor..."
"Well, that's interesting, keep talking!" Gao Fei saw that Sima Yi was showing off, so he followed his words.
"According to the decree." Sima Yi saluted Gao Fei again and continued, "The emperor is supreme, and the ministers dare not talk to him directly, so they have to ask the emperor's close ministers to convey the message on their behalf. Therefore, the person called 'Your Majesty' is not the emperor, but the emperor."
Standing at His Majesty's
Tell the emperor. Then again, the rules are not static, and ministers are not absolutely prohibited from speaking to the emperor directly, but etiquette cannot be omitted. Therefore, calling him "Your Majesty" before speaking to the emperor is to show his respect."
After hearing this explanation, Gao Fei felt that it was very novel. This was something he had never noticed before. He was following what everyone else said, but he couldn't think much about it.
No matter you watch historical TV series or costume movies, as long as the emperor appears in the play, you will hear the ministers calling the emperor "Your Majesty" on the left and "Your Majesty" on the right. However, why do you call the emperor "Your Majesty"?
Few people study it.
"Hahaha..." Gao Fei laughed and said, "I am really impressed that you have such insight at such a young age. Please return to your original position and wait for the others to report their names. Then I will give you a test question."
I will test you and whoever can give the most appropriate answer will be the first in this selection, and I will naturally receive a generous reward."
Afterwards, the remaining few people also reported their names, but Gao Fei had never heard of it in history books or unofficial history. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, it was a time when generals gathered and talents emerged in large numbers, and many of them were not well-known.
, and it’s normal. Maybe you haven’t heard of it, but they do exist.
After all ten people reported their names and place of origin, Gao Fei stood up, asked Zhong Yao to get a pen and paper, and immediately wrote two big characters on a piece of white paper with a big stroke of his pen.
"Today, I will use these two words as the title and ask each of you to write an article. Whoever writes the article that best fits the meaning of these words will be appointed as a participating governor. His official position will be the first rank, and he will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins.
I will be awarded the title of No. 1 Scholar." Gao Fei raised the big piece of paper high, and the two words on the paper suddenly caught everyone's eyes.
The word "天下" jumped out on the paper, and the vigorous and powerful writing skills made the two words extremely domineering.
After Jiang Gan read it, he nodded repeatedly and said: "What a word! What a word! Your Majesty... No, Your Majesty... Nor... Long live... Lord, the words of Long live Lord are simply the best in the world. He is extremely domineering.
, this word is really..."
Before Jiang Gan could finish what he said, Gao Fei glanced sideways at him, his eyes full of disgust. That look made Jiang Gan shudder, and he hurriedly stopped his mouth, lowered his head, and did not dare to say anything more.
"Prime Minister!" Gao Fei called softly.
"I am here, Your Majesty...what are your orders from the Emperor?" Zhong Yao said hurriedly.
"You are here to invigilate the exam. After one stick of incense, the exam is over and everyone must hand in their papers. After one stick of incense, I will come and check it myself." Gao Fei said.
"I obey the decree!"
After saying that, Gao Fei put down the piece of paper and strode out.
Zhong Yao immediately asked people to provide pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the ten people to write articles, and also lit a stick of incense. He sat at the top and saw that the ten people were ready, and said loudly: "Let's begin.
"
As soon as the voice fell, the ten people all thought hard. Soon, Jiang Gan's eyes lit up and he took the lead in picking up the pen and started writing, writing eloquently.
After that, Sima Yi also started to write. After that, the rest of the people also had their own understanding and started to write.
Gao Fei did not really leave, but hid in the dark and watched the situation in the entire hall. After watching for a while, he left.
He returned to his room in the county government office, rested briefly for a while, and then returned to the hall when he estimated that the time was almost up.
At this time, the stick of incense went out and Zhong Yao began to unwind.
Gao Fei waited for Zhong Yao to finish collecting the papers, then entered the hall and asked: "Prime Minister, are you done?"
Zhong Yao replied: "To report to the emperor, I have followed the emperor's instructions and there are no mistakes in it. This is an article written by these ten people. Please take a look at it."
"Well, very good." Gao Fei sat down and looked through the examination papers. The county officer took out Sima Yi's papers, spread them out on the table, and started browsing.
"Speaking of the general trend of the world, if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted after the emperor killed the white snake and unified the world.
, later Guangwu Zhongxing, passed to Ling Emperor, and then declined.
The cause of the chaos probably started with the two emperors Huan and Ling. Emperor Huan imprisoned good people and respected eunuchs. After the death of Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling came to the throne, and the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other.
Zuo. At that time, there were eunuchs such as Cao Jie who took power. Dou Wu and Chen Fan plotted to kill him. However, the matter was not kept secret and he was harmed instead. Zhongjuan became more and more aggressive from then on. Later, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Xu, Duan Gui, and Cao
Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were friends and became traitors, and they were named the "Ten Constant Attendants". The Emperor trusted Zhang Rang and called him "Father". The government's political affairs were deteriorating day by day, which caused the people of the world to fall into disgrace.
In the second month of the first year of Zhongping, Julu men Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang led the Yellow Turban Army to rebel against the imperial court. From then on, the Han Dynasty existed in name only..."
Gao Fei read it from beginning to end, and it can be said that he read it in one sitting. After reading it, he felt deeply. It introduced facts at the beginning, demonstrated with examples in the middle, and gave many suggestions at the end. It can be called an excellent work.
However, what surprised Gao Fei was that such a handwriting was actually written by an eleven-year-old child. No one would believe it if he told it. As for whether you believe it or not, he believed it anyway.
Gao Fei handed this article to Zhong Yao and asked Zhong Yao to read it. After Zhong Yao finished reading it, he praised it repeatedly and shouted: "Excellent article! Excellent article! It is really an excellent article..."
Zhong Yao took a look at the signature and saw that the signature was "Hanoi Sima Zhongda". He couldn't help but look at Sima Yi in surprise. He couldn't believe that such writing style and such a lofty theory came from Sima Yi's hand.
Gao Fei's heart was surging, but it didn't show on his face. He immediately took out a test paper and started browsing.
"The world is owned by the people of the world. It is as big as the world. Only the great emperor of China and China can conquer the world. Mencius said, 'If you lose the way, you will have few help, but if you gain the way, there will be many help.' All the people in the world are devoted to the great emperor of China, even if they are the three emperors and five emperors, the emperors of Qin and Han
Martial arts is nothing more than ears.
Take heaven as the ruler, virtue as the foundation, Tao as the door, benevolence as the bestowal, righteousness as the principle, etiquette as the norm, music as the temperament, law as the measure, name as the symbol, comparison as the verification.
Judgment by assessment, taking ministry as the routine, taking food and clothing as the main purpose, production and storage, caring for the old, weak, orphans and widows, so that they can be nourished with purpose, and the only one who can cover the world with perfection is I, the Great Emperor of China.
The world is in chaos, there is no virtuous king, and moral differences exist. Many people in the world have their own opinions and appreciate themselves. For example, the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth have their own functions, but they cannot be used by each other. It is like hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
It is useful. Even so, it is not complete and comprehensive, and it is an ill-informed person.
Separating the perfection of heaven and earth, isolating the principles of all things, and fragmenting the perfect morality of the ancients, few can possess the perfection of heaven and earth and be worthy of the appearance of gods. Therefore, the way of inner sage and outer king is dark but not clear, depressed and not exerted, and the world's
Everyone does what he wants and makes his own magic. Only I, the Great Emperor of the Chinese Kingdom of China, am the emperor that all people aspire to and can control the entire world..."
After Gao Fei finished reading, he felt happy and beamed with joy. This article was filled with thousands of words, and the dense small words did not make you feel tired once you read it. It also made you feel relaxed physically and mentally. He paid attention to the signature, which was written by Jiang Gan.
. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Gan. Seeing the smile on Jiang Gan's face, he thought to himself: "This guy's flattering skills are really top-notch. The photo made me feel happy. Not to mention, there are some good people among them."
Truth is a talent."
He handed this paper to Zhong Yao, and then picked up other papers and started to read.
After Zhong Yao read the article written by Jiang Gan, he suddenly felt ashamed. If he had followed what Jiang Gan wrote, he wouldn't even be a gentleman. However, to be honest, Zhong Yao had to admire Jiang Gan's work.
With his eloquence, he can convince you and turn distortion into righteousness, which is indeed something that no one can do.
After that, Gao Fei and Zhong Yao read the articles written by eight other people one after another. They never saw any more exciting articles than those written by Sima Yi and Jiang Gan, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Fei and Zhong Yao looked at each other, and they both understood that the number one scholar this time was going to be between Sima Yi and Jiang Qian.
"You are all tired. Go down and rest first. I will make an announcement tomorrow morning." Gao Fei said loudly to the other ten people.
After all ten people retreated, Gao Fei called Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun to meet with Zhong Yao, and then circulated the articles of Sima Yi and Jiang Qian to the three of them.
Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun were all shocked after reading their articles. One of them explained the general trend of the world very thoroughly. He started from Shang and Zhou Dynasties and continued to the previous Han Dynasty Emperor Ling.
.Another flattering work is very impressive, and you can't refuse it between the lines. I feel that it is really enjoyable to read such an article. To have such a superb writing style, he is indeed a talented person.
Gao Fei waited until Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun had finished reading, and then asked, "Do you have a candidate?"
Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun replied in unison: "The number one scholar must be Sima Yi!"
Zhong Yao also hurriedly agreed: "I second the proposal."
Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "Don't you think it's a bit too young to be the number one scholar at the age of eleven? Sima Yi is still a child. Although his articles are good, he is also a teacher of Guan Ning and Cai Yong. However, he
Too immature to take on big responsibilities..."
Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, Zhong Yao and Gai Xun asked in unison: "What does the emperor mean..."
