Speaking of Mr. Qian, he passed the imperial examination at the age of ten. He is truly gifted and talented!

From then on, he was unstoppable. From a scholar to a candidate and then to a Jinshi, he was like a cheat, overcoming all difficulties and defeating all enemies with unstoppable force!

When he was sixteen years old, Qian Xiucai was finally able to go to Beijing to take part in the palace examination.

At this time, Mr. Qian was already full of confidence and felt that he would be the top scholar.

It is rare to find someone as young and promising as him, so naturally he is full of energy and success.

After arriving in the capital, there were endless gatherings of various scholars, and Qian Xiucai would happily attend every one of them.

Whether it was classics, history, or poetry, he could recite them all with ease, and always came out on top in every competition.

As a result, the sixteen-year-old boy became more and more famous, and everyone praised him highly. It was not an exaggeration to call him a "child prodigy".

After all, how many people in this world can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics at such an age and be good at reciting poems and composing couplets?

Qian Xiucai is truly well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge and has a wealth of learning!

He is well versed in both astronomy and geography.

Even the laws of the cycle of heaven and earth can be calculated and are under his control. He can be said to be the best scholar in the world today!

Whenever many scholars encountered difficult problems, they would go to Mr. Qian for advice.

Over time, everyone respectfully called him "Qian Zhuangyuan" in private.

Although Qian Xiucai's knowledge is very profound, he is still a little lacking in life experience.

Among this group of scholars, there was one named Liu.

One day, Scholar Liu came to ask the other scholars for help with a difficult problem, but the other scholars were all at a loss as to how to solve it.

With this puzzling problem in hand, Liu Shusheng came to Qian Xiucai anxiously to seek help.

After taking the question, Mr. Qian pondered for a while, and then answered it quickly and accurately.

Liu Shusheng was full of admiration and eagerly asked Qian Xiucai for advice on how to solve the problem. Qian Xiucai calmly, patiently and carefully explained every step to him until Liu Shusheng completely understood it.

Unexpectedly, the same question appeared during the palace examination.

This question not only requires a deep knowledge base, but also involves complex calculations in many aspects such as astronomy and geography.

Faced with such a difficult question, many candidates were at a loss, except Qian Xiucai and Liu Shusheng who successfully answered it.

The emperor was very pleased and immediately appointed Qian Xiucai as the top scholar.

But when the other scholars heard about this, they were indignant and accused the two of cheating.

There were many different opinions at once, and the noise even reached the ears of the emperor.

So the emperor decided to try the case himself and display the two men's test papers in public.

After comparison, everyone was surprised to find that Qian Xiucai and Liu Shusheng's answers were exactly the same!

The scholars were very excited and shouted that it was cheating!

If there was no cheating, how could it be possible that only these two people could solve the problem and their answers were exactly the same?

Even the emperor was very surprised: "It's fine that they can do the test, but why are their answers so consistent?"

Qian Xiucai stood up and told what had happened.

The scholar Liu who failed the exam was also brought to the hall.

Scholar Liu said that when he encountered this difficult problem, he was at a loss, so he asked many other scholars for help, but no one was able to answer it either.

So he went to seek help from Qian Xiucai, and Qian Xiucai successfully solved the problem.

However, many scholars present did not agree with what Liu Shusheng said.

They all said in unison that they had never seen this question before, let alone study the solution together.

Everyone accused Liu Shusheng of making up such an absurd and ridiculous story to deceive everyone.

Faced with everyone's rebuke and questioning, Liu Shusheng had no choice but to bring down Qian Xiucai as well, saying that the two of them were actually planning the cheating together.

When the emperor heard that the imperial examination questions had been leaked, he was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

After a thorough investigation, the person who leaked the information was finally found out - a eunuch.

Facing the emperor's questioning, the eunuch tremblingly replied: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I was passing by the room of the minister who prepared the examination papers, and I happened to hear them discussing the topic of this examination. They said that this topic was the most difficult in history, and no one could answer it. I couldn't resist the favor of others, and I was tempted by the devil for a while, so I secretly copied down the topic and gave it to others. But who could have expected that Liu Sheng actually solved this difficult problem, and it also involved so many things..."

The emperor was furious after hearing this, and immediately decided to severely punish Liu Sheng and Qian Xiucai on the charge of fraud.

Not only were all their honors and titles stripped away, but they were also expressly forbidden from ever taking the imperial examination again in their lifetime.

Suffering such a heavy blow, Liu Sheng had no choice but to return to his hometown and changed his career to become a businessman.

Qian Xiucai also returned to his hometown feeling lonely and unwilling.

The mother, who had been hoping that her son would pass the imperial examination and that she would be awarded the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, became furious and indignant upon hearing the news. She eventually became bedridden due to anger and died in just one month.

Qian Xiucai could never calm down.

He guarded a few dilapidated huts and seven or eight acres of barren land, and made a living by teaching and recruiting disciples.

He also hoped that one of his students would become the top scholar, so that he could gain fame, fortune and wash away the humiliation and stain of his life.

Qiao Xiaoxi stared quietly at the lonely-looking Mr. Qian in front of her, and a trace of sympathy surged in her heart.

However, she understood that even if Li Tianyou really became the top scorer in the imperial examination or even became the prime minister, it would be difficult to overturn the conclusion made by the monarch.

This is what happened to Mr. Qian.

It's just like Tang Bohu, Tang Jieyuan encountered the same thing.

Later, he became famous all over the world for his paintings, proving his ability.

The emperor refused to redress his innocence, but the people cleared Tang Bohu's name.

A thousand years later, everyone in the world knows Tang Bohu, who is truly Tang Jieyuan.

This scholar Qian is here to enlighten young children and wait for his reputation to be cleansed.

I’m afraid I’ll never be able to clear my name in my lifetime.

This teaching lasted until he was in his seventies, and only then did he find a relatively outstanding person, Li Tianyou.

Whether Li Tianyou can become the top scorer remains to be seen.

Even if you became the top scholar, would you dare to say that your enlightenment teacher was Mr. Qian?

Since Mr. Qian has a reputation with the emperor.

The emperor identifies people with bad conduct.

Li Tianyou talked about Qian Xiucai's enlightenment.

Can the emperor still use Li Tianyou?

After all, for the emperor.

There are no three-legged frogs, but there are plenty of two-legged people.

There are many good horses to be chosen, so why should we miss Li Tianyou!

Li Tianyou briefly mentioned Mr. Qian in front of the emperor.

I’m afraid my future is already too chaotic.

What stains are you still washing!

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Qian Xiucai and felt a thousand kinds of pity in her heart.

History has buried countless geniuses.

History has created countless unjust cases!

Just take this Qian Xiucai!

Only after I traveled through time and space did I realize that he was the true top scholar.

Unknowingly, I became a sinner.

This injustice will surely sink into the long river of history.

No bubbles have appeared yet.

My sister read history and knew that Tang Bohu was a top scorer in the imperial examination.

I haven't read about what happened to Qian Zhuangyuan.

Now I want Li Tianyou to rehabilitate Qian Xiucai.

Unless Li Tianyou becomes emperor.

This is a typical daydream!
