Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li walked over to Zhu Junhao and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhu Junhao's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Mo, are you serious?"

"Seriously." Mo Li said seriously.

He Shen wondered what tricks Mo Li was up to and said, "Zhu Junhao, do you want to disobey the emperor's order?"

Zhu Junhao said, "Zhu Junhao accepts the order and thanks you." He stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict, and there was no disappointment on his face.

Tao Sangu knelt on the ground and cried out, "I will not live anymore, I will not live anymore."

Zhu Junhao glanced at her and said nothing.

Chun Tao said seriously: "Jun Hao, no matter whether you are the top scholar or not, I, Chun Tao, will never regret marrying you in this life."

Zhu Junhao said, "If I don't get the top spot, I can take the exam again. Besides, I have the support of Master Mo in my future life. Even if I don't get the top spot, I can still make a name for myself."

The two of them snuggled together, making others envious.

Mo Li helped Third Aunt Tao up and said, "Third Aunt, you go back first."

Aunt Tao was still crying.

Mo Li continued, "Third Aunt, your fuss won't help. This is the Emperor's order. How dare we disobey it?"

Aunt Tao also knew that this was useless, but she couldn't help crying. She said to Zhu Junhao, "Junhao, I asked you to marry a princess but you refused. Now you're happy because you're no longer the top scholar."

Zhu Junhao thought to himself, why am I so happy? I should have known not to write that poem.

Mo Li thought to Heshen, if you prevent Zhu Junhao from becoming the top scholar, I will prevent your son from becoming the second.

He Shen said, "Master Mo, we are leaving."

Mo Li said, “No need to see me off.”

……

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Not long after Heshen returned to the He Mansion, Mo Li walked in with a eunuch and a eunuch.

He Shen immediately came out to greet him and said, "Master Mo, why are you here?"

Mo Li said, "Let your son come out to receive the order."

Heshen knew that something was wrong, but he still called his son out.

Fengshen Yinde knelt down to receive the order.

The eunuch began to read the imperial edict: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Fengshen Yinde has insulted the princess and shown disrespect to the imperial family. On the day this edict arrives, he shall be stripped of his position as second place in the imperial examination and demoted to a commoner. This is my decree."

Fengshen Yinde showed a look of despair.

Heshen originally thought that Zhu Junhao would not be able to become the top scholar, and it would be his son's turn. However, he did not expect that not long after he entered the palace, the imperial edict came, and it was an imperial edict to dismiss his son from the position of second place.

Now that's good, the third place winner got a bargain.

Mo Li said, "Fengshen Yinde, do you want to disobey the imperial order?"

Fengshen Yinde choked up and said, "Fengshen Yinde accepts the order and thanks you." He stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict.

He Shen angrily said, "Mo Li, what do you mean? I deprived your son-in-law of the top spot, and you're depriving my son of the second spot?"

Mo Li said, "Master He, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by dismissing Zhu Junhao from the top position? Was it you who issued the order? Just based on this statement, I can accuse you of deceiving the emperor."

The father-in-law said, "In my opinion, these two gentlemen are really interesting. One used a trick to deprive someone's son-in-law of the top spot in the imperial examination, and the other used a trick to deprive someone's son of the second place in the imperial examination."

Mo Li said, "Eunuch, what you said is wrong. It wasn't me who dismissed him, nor was it His Excellency who dismissed him. It was the Emperor who dismissed him."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. It was the emperor who dismissed him. Hehe, Lord Mo, your son-in-law is no longer the top scholar. How will he support your goddaughter?" the father-in-law asked curiously.

Mo Li said, "Don't worry about this, eunuch. With my connections in the capital, it won't be difficult for me to arrange a job for Zhu Junhao."

The eunuch said, "Lord Mo always looks confident, which is really enviable. Lord He, I have handed the imperial edict to you, and it is time for me to take my leave." When he said the second sentence, he looked at Heshen and bowed.

He Shen said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
