Song Ming's victory means that the other nine people are all eliminated.
Then ten more people came to the judging table at the same time, and someone brought over a wooden box. The box was not big, with only an opening big enough for a hand to fit in. Then they took out a ball of paper with the topic written inside.
The topics vary, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, flowers, plants and trees, family and country feelings, as well as some more niche topics. It depends on your luck which one you draw.
Drawing the most common one is not necessarily a good thing. The more common it is, the harder it is to stand out, and even harder to stand out among ten people.
After everyone has drawn their topics, they start writing poems. This process is very short. The test is to write poems on the spot. If you can't write a poem or if you stumble over it, you will be eliminated directly.
Although the poems are judged by judges, they are recited in public, so everyone knows whether they are good or bad.
These poems will also be taken to the North Shore to be read publicly, so that everyone will know and judge them to ensure fairness!
For a literary event like this with such a huge impact and so many students participating, fairness is of the utmost importance.
It seems so, but it is just an appearance.
Song Chi knew that in order to ensure that Song Ming won the championship, cheating was inevitable.
Before the literary meeting began, all the scholars who participated knew nothing about the rules, and naturally they did not know the test questions.
Everyone participated without any preparation, but Song Ming definitely knew, and he would know the test questions in advance and prepare in advance.
In addition, every link is controlled in meticulous detail.
It is extremely difficult to compose poetry on the spot. Even Cao Zhi needs seven steps to complete a poem, but for them, there is not even enough time for seven steps.
There is also a box where you draw the test questions. There must be a mechanism in it that can be controlled.
Even the ten people who arrived at the front at the same time should have been arranged in advance.
The people present were basically under control, including Duan Yunzhou and other popular candidates for the championship... but he was the only variable.
Song Chi was thinking.
Song Ming probably doesn't believe that I have any talent, and he certainly doesn't believe that I can make it to the end despite so many secret manipulations.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrange for a strong candidate to play at the same time in this round to ensure that he is not selected.
Song Chi looked sarcastic.
You really know nothing about my talents.
Even if Song Ming had prepared in advance, could he beat him?
Even if there are all kinds of difficulties, can they be overcome?
What's good is good.
Unless he doesn't care about his face, Song Chi actually hopes that Song Ming will be shameless.
This will cause more people to be dissatisfied.
He watched quietly as waves of people came forward, ten at a time.
It seems random, but it is actually arranged.
Song Chi noticed that those people with background and talents were not put together.
They have to ensure that these people can enter Wangjiang Tower, otherwise their eating habits will be too ugly and will affect their reputation.
The final result should be that these geniuses enter Wangjiang Tower, and then Song Ming wins. In this way, the significance of Song Ming's victory will be sufficient.
"Wu Hai's poetry is excellent. If he wins this round, he will be able to enter Wangjiang Tower."
A loud voice rang out, and someone entered the scene excitedly.
I think most of the people who passed the third level had received instructions in advance. Some were confident before going on stage, while others sighed softly before going on stage.
The outcome was already determined.
The Prime Minister controls the path to promotion, and the entire Jiangzhou is under his influence. No one dares to refuse.
"Tang Yan's poetry is excellent. For the winner of this round, his poetry will be sent to the North Shore for people to appreciate!"
Another round ends.
Tang Yan entered Wangjiang Tower under the gaze of everyone.
"The next person should be Fang Yingwu." Song Chi murmured in his heart.
Sure enough, among another wave of people, Fang Yingwu walked into the arena. As expected, he became the winner of this round and entered Wangjiang Tower.
Song Chi entered the third level late and was ranked last. He noticed that Duan Yunzhou had not yet appeared on the court, which meant that the person who sniped him was Duan Yunzhou!
Duan Yunzhou, the head of the Qingke Pavilion Society in Nandu Academy, was only seventeen years old and came from a poor family. He was known for his supernatural powers since childhood. He could write poems at the age of six and could speak in verses at the age of seven.
His experience is similar to Tang Yan's, but Tang Yan is much luckier than him. The latter was accepted as a disciple by Hao Yongzhen, one of the four great talents, at a very early age.
However, because his family was poor, his path to study was difficult. It was not until he passed the county examination that his talent was revealed and he was noticed by a nobleman. After that, he had smooth sailing and later entered the Nando Academy and became the head of the Qingke Pavilion Society.
This position is not available to everyone. It is said that the person was personally chosen by Song Shiwen. He has a bright future and unlimited potential.
And he is also the most suitable person to snipe himself.
Such a talented person has to give way to Song Ming.
Song Chi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. For Duan Yunzhou, this was the best choice.
"Next round!"
Just then, a Confucian scholar shouted, Song Chi walked forward, and then Duan Yunzhou followed him.
His voice was cold.
"With me here, you won't be able to pass this level."
Song Chi said calmly: "Then I will also say this to you. As long as I am here, you will never pass this level!"
"I don't know what it means."
Duan Yunzhou said this calmly and ignored Song Chi. In his opinion, this boy was arrogant and would never achieve anything great.
He just relies on his talent and knowledge to look down on others. He has seen many people like him, and they will eventually behave themselves.
He also experienced youthful recklessness, but what can he do?
This world is far dirtier than you can imagine, and talent and knowledge can only serve the powerful, just like he is a living example.
Seeing this scene, the people around sneered.
Unlike others, the bet between Song Chi and Han Yuanzheng was widely known before the literary gathering.
