The king gave the question himself, and the scholar found it too difficult to turn around and leave. Why did the king directly choose him as the champion?

Although the scholar did not directly answer the questions raised by Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong felt that the scholar had self-knowledge and knew that he had to retreat when he encountered difficulties, so he was directly designated as the champion of the same name in this imperial examination. Therefore, the scholar's luck is also very good. Of course, another reason is that Emperor Qianlong felt that others could not tell their own pairs, and his literary talent was particularly good, which satisfied his vanity.

In fact, in ancient times, people who took the imperial examination had to take the court examination in the end. In a court exam, Emperor Qianlong gave a pair, the first part of which was "Liu Tang of Yan Suochi". On the surface, this pair is relatively simple, but in fact these five words contain Jin Mu's fire, water and earth, so they are absolute. Even Ji Xiaolan, a college student at that time, couldn't tell the difference between the two men, and so did ordinary researchers.

At that time, many ministers could not find this pair. In the court exam, Emperor Qianlong had a whim and wanted to use this pair to test this year's candidates. In fact, there were always two people who took the exam at that time. After two students thought about it for a while, one of the candidates directly said that the combination was too difficult and the level was not enough, so he turned and left. But at that time, Emperor Qianlong felt that this man could give up after a short period of thinking, which was actually a kind of boldness of vision, so he was directly appointed as the number one scholar.

In fact, in history, Emperor Qianlong especially loved poetry and painting, and there were about 40,000 poems in his life. Moreover, Emperor Qianlong gave himself a title, that is, "the perfect old man". It can also be seen from this title that Emperor Qianlong also felt that his literary attainments were very high.
