In the examination room, Qin Feng announced the seventh question as usual.
[Question 7: If your country faces an unprecedented disaster, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, plagues, famines, and foreign invasions, what do you think is the most likely situation?】
A: united as a city, united as one to tide over the difficulties
B: One side is in trouble, support from all directions
C: Rebellion thieves take the opportunity to change the dynasty
D: Civil and military officials fill their pockets and make a disaster.
Fifth: Let it be and wait for the disaster to
pass.
If the sixth question was the appetizer, then the seventh question made all the examinees in the Heavenly Examination Hall gasp.
Accompanied by Qin Feng's voice,
The emperors stared at the question in shock for nearly ten seconds.
It was too sharp.
How could this question be set like this!？
The First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wu Zetian, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Genghis Khan, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Emperor Kangxi all raised their heads and looked at the invigilator Qin Feng in shock.
Qin Feng gave them a serious expression.
"The questions will begin. All examinees, please answer according to the actual situation of your country. This question tests the overall strength of the country!”
Qin Feng directly solved this question for the emperors.
The country's management and emergency response capabilities in response to disasters.
This was the embodiment of a country.
Since ancient times, natural and man-made disasters had been unavoidable in many dynasties.
Half of China's history was a history of war, and the other half was a history of disaster. In this process, the Chinese people's tenacity was tempered, and the resilience of the entire nation was tempered.
From Yu the Great controlling the flood to Yu Gong moving mountains to the Great Wall of China, to the Yellow River controlling the desert, planting trees, and Chang E landing on the moon.
The entire Chinese race embodied the characteristic of man conquering nature.
History had also proven that disasters could not defeat the Chinese people. They would only make the Chinese people stronger and stronger.
Similarly.
A country's ability to resist disasters also reflected the emperor's ability to lead and govern.
Similarly, understanding the country's ability to deal with disasters was also a basic reflection of a qualified emperor.
The moment this question appeared.
Forget about the emperor.
In all planes, all the people had the deepest experience.
"This, this question…the question is too, too, too sharp!”
At Tongfu Inn, Scholar Lu's mouth was wide open when the question was asked. After a long time, he finally found a word to evaluate this question.
All the merchants, shopkeepers, beggars, warriors, and commoners in the inn looked at each other in dismay. They were all shocked by this question.
"Well done! This question was good! This was what an emperor's exam was…If the emperor didn't know what would happen when disaster struck, he wouldn't be a qualified emperor!”
After a long time, the beggar Xiaomi broke the silence with a cheer.
"Yes, this question was very good…Previously, Hanzhong was in a drought, and there were thousands of miles of barren land. I heard that many people starved to death from thirst…I heard that the imperial court even provided disaster relief, but we didn't see anything! My grandfather, father, and mother starved to death back then!”
"Yes, I am! Also, ten years ago, the Yellow River burst its banks and drowned many people and animals. It was not likely that the imperial court would do anything!”
"I want to see how the emperor will answer this question!”
As soon as Xiao Mi spoke, the people in the inn began to talk about the disasters that had happened and witnessed.
Speaking of this, it was heavy and sad. The ordinary people were the witnesses of the disaster!
Especially in the feudal era, when most people faced these disasters, those who were lucky…could barely survive. Those who were unlucky might even have their entire family or entire village destroyed.
These calamities were definitely the pain that the commoners were most unwilling to mention.
However, it was a chronic illness that the emperor and the country had to face.
"
Is there such a dynasty, such a country?”
The Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, and the others were also stunned by the sharpness and straightforwardness of this question. After staring at the first option for a long time, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask himself.
He could not imagine such a situation.
The people were united as one.
How was this possible?
In the end of the Han Dynasty, where wars were rampant, he saw the pain that wars brought to the people. He saw corrupt officials acting tyrannically. He saw civil and military officials taking the opportunity to fill their own pockets. He saw rebels taking the opportunity to change the dynasty.
At the thought of this, he felt a little ashamed and blushed.
To put it bluntly, these people were just opportunists. They could not wait for the world to fall into chaos so that they could take the opportunity to gain a lifetime of fame. Who cared about the lives of the people in the war and disaster?
"Military Advisor, there's no such thing! I, Zhang Fei, only saw the civil and military officials taking the opportunity to fill their own pockets, and countless people were displaced! "Countless children were homeless, starved to death, and died of thirst…"
Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was filled with anger when he spoke of this.
"Ding Mao Qi Huang!"
As soon as this question was asked, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and the others could not help but clench their fists tightly. Four words and the miserable scene of starving corpses appeared in front of their eyes.
This was a rare drought and famine between the first year of Guangxu (1875) and the fourth year (1878). This disaster affected Jin, Zhili, Shaanxi, Henan, Lu, and other provinces, causing more than 10 million people to starve to death, and another 20 million people fled to other places. This was a disaster that had really happened before their eyes.
Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and the others couldn't help but look at Zeng Guoquan. Zeng Guoquan had personally witnessed this rare famine disaster and participated in the disaster relief.
However, he was still unable to turn the situation around.
"Sigh…
The people are suffering."
Feeling the gazes of the court, Zeng Guoquan could only sigh. He could not bear to talk about the disaster that happened back then.
That was the pain in the hearts of tens of millions of people.
This question was so cruel and sharp that it made one's heart ache!
