Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

The Emperor said, "Needless to say, I have already decided on the examiners for the undergraduate program."

Mo Li said, "Who is that?"

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled meaningfully and said, "Even if I didn't tell you, you would have guessed it."

Mo Li thought about it carefully and looked at Heshen.

He Shen smiled and said, "Yes, you are clever, Lord Mo. I am the untalented one. I have taken the initiative to ask the Emperor for permission to take part in this imperial examination. With the Emperor's blessing, I will make it the most influential one yet."

"Your Majesty, he..." Mo Li hesitated to speak.

……

someday.

Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue were walking on the street.

"Brother Li, where are we going?"

"Let's go to a nice place called Lianshengdian."

"Liansheng Store?"

"This Liansheng Inn is the favorite place for students from other places to stay when they come to Beijing for the imperial examinations. The name of the inn is very good. Listen, it's called Liansheng Inn. It means continuous promotion and continuous high promotion. Come on, just turn the corner and you'll arrive."

Du Xiaoyue showed a look of sudden enlightenment when she heard this.

The two came to the door of Liansheng store.

Mo Li said, "Look, it's so lively. Let's go in and take a look. Let's go."

Du Xiaoyue nodded.

The two walked into the store, and Mo Li introduced, "Xiao Yue, come and take a look. Besides teaching people how to take exams, this place also sells these exam preparation books. Take a look."

Du Xiaoyue glanced around and said, "So there are people who make money from taking the imperial examination."

Mo Li sighed and said, "Study hard to become an official, and become an official to make money. Books are full of principles, that's true, but these books have different meanings: how to read and why to read. I'm afraid some people read books, but their minds are not on them."

Du Xiaoyue thought of something and said, "Hey Brother Li, when you were studying..."

Mo Li was about to speak when he heard a voice saying, "Sir."

Mo Li pointed his right index finger at himself and asked, "Are you calling me?"

The boss said, "Come here, come here, take a look at these two books of mine."

The two of them walked over.

Mo Li asked, "What book?"

The boss introduced them, "Newly printed, not available at Liulichang. These are all the top-scoring exam papers from various subjects. They're absolutely true to the originals, and I'll only charge you three thousand silver coins."

Du Xiaoyue blurted out: "It's so expensive."

At this time, the person next to him said, "This scholar, the scholar's wife."

Du Xiaoyue retorted: "You are the scholar's wife."

This man, also a boss, said, "Look at this book. It's the textbook for Master Liu Yuan's lessons. Master Liu was the foremost tutor in the Great Xuan Kingdom. He had many renowned students. Over the past thirty-two years, he's produced two top-ranking scholars, three second-place scholars, and two third-place scholars. How about a copy?"

Mo Li laughed, thinking that he was already an official, but these two people thought he was a scholar who needed to take an exam. He said, "Forget it, forget it. We'll see later. Let's go."

The two walked in a certain direction.

At this time, a man came over and said, "Hey sir, sir, come here, come here, come here."

Mo Li asked, "Why... why are you coming over here?"

The man said, "I want to tell you something, come here." He pulled Mo Li aside.

Mo Li hurriedly asked what was going on.

The man said, "Let me tell you, what I'm selling you is something special."

Mo Li asked curiously, "What is so unusual?"

The man said, "Let me tell you, that complete collection of exam papers and the required dictionaries are completely useless."
