Second, Luo was not born in a noble family, so he can be said to be a common people. So he usually studies hard and uses his fame in his studies. So he finally got the chance of promotion through his own efforts when he was doing scientific research. Therefore, he didn't talk at length about his suggestions on governing the country during the exam. On the contrary, he only wrote eight words to become an emperor, and didn't win the first prize. It can be seen that he is very talented and courageous.
Third, when Guangxu ruled, it was basically in the hands of Cixi. However, some etiquette matters still need to be handled by the emperor himself. Therefore, during the examination, he asked the guards a question about how to help the emperor and the court, so it gave Luo Chengxiang a chance to perform and won the highest prize of eight words.
Fourth, it can be said that Emperor Guangxu is not in his own hands, but he is also determined to manage the country he has managed well, so he can understand Luo's heart through these eight words, and he can make him a champion. Later, he also liked this minister very much. It can be said that what he did was very correct, and he chose an excellent talent for the country.
It can be said that Luo's approach is very bold, and it also captures the psychology of Emperor Guangxu, so that he can become the number one scholar.
