Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Cheating in the imperial examination even went to this extent.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been emperor for decades, but this was the first time he saw it.

After restarting the imperial examination system, Zhu Yuanzhang presided over many imperial examinations, but this was the first time he had seen such a crazy cheater who could even get his hands on the test papers in the palace.

It is said that you can guard against thieves day and night, but you cannot guard against thieves in your own home.

"In fact, it's because my grandson didn't do well enough."

Zhu Xuan lowered his head and said, "My grandson thinks that we can just pick up and use the experience left by the emperor's grandfather. I think that arranging a few more positions for those foreigners will not cause too much trouble. I am still thinking too simply."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It's not my grandson's fault. No one could have imagined that such a thing could happen in the imperial examination, and that there were people colluding with me. Ha... Those dog officials saw that I hadn't killed anyone for so long, and they couldn't help but jump out and seek their own death."

Old Zhu used to kill corrupt officials one by one without blinking an eye.

Many officials in the court at that time trembled when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, and some even wrote suicide notes before leaving. But all these are now a thing of the past. In the past ten years, Zhu Yuanzhang has hardly killed anyone.

Because of this, many officials have forgotten the dark times.

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "The imperial examination is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. They dared to cheat and spread our test papers. Those officials should be killed."

At this point, his eyes turned cold, his tone even colder, and he said in a cold voice: "All officials of the Ministry of Personnel should be killed."

"Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan actually wanted to kill people, but he was not the kind of person who would kill everyone without caring about anything else. He said, "If we kill all the officials, who will help us with our work?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Wearing shackles, I will work while sitting in prison."

He has done this kind of thing many times before.

The main reason was that too many people were killed. He believed that there were too many officials who deserved to die, but after they were all killed, there was really no one to work, so they had to work in shackles. When new officials were promoted, those in shackles would be sent to be skinned.

The method is indeed cruel, but it can shock people.

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "They all deserve to die! They just think that my dear grandson doesn't know anything because this is his first time to preside over the imperial examination, so they want to deceive him."

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said, "My grandson thinks that this is not necessarily to deceive me. This kind of cheating is probably not the first time, and it may have existed for a long time."

"Reverse search!"

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly took this into consideration.

Usually it can be discovered, it is very likely that this is not the first time to do this, it must have been done many times, and it was only discovered now. Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Find out all the people who have been on the list in previous years and investigate them. At the same time, pry open the mouth of the sixth brother and investigate him. If something goes wrong, we will be responsible. We cannot do without investigation."

Once it is discovered, everyone must be held accountable.

There must have been something wrong with the officials who took the imperial examinations in the past.

"Grandpa Emperor, if we trace back like this, I'm afraid there will be big problems."

Zhu Xuan said worriedly: "Many officials have been assigned to appropriate positions. Once the facts are investigated, there will definitely be many people who oppose them. Those scholars are particularly united."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Don't be afraid, my dear grandson, you can't do it. Let's check it out! Tomorrow we will go to court, and you can listen. If we don't kill a bunch of people, they will think that we are easy to bully!"

"Grandpa Emperor, don't be angry!"

Seeing how excited Old Zhu was, Zhu Xuan had no choice but to comfort him: "My grandson will definitely do this well and will not let Grandpa Huang down."

Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted Zhu Xuan, but there are some things that he really needs to step in on himself. He said, "My dear grandson, don't say anything. Announce that there will be a morning court tomorrow. If we don't help you, who will?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan said warmly.

There were so many bad things today. I felt helpless outside, but when I got home, I had the help and support of Grandpa Huang. All the pressure was relieved a lot at this moment.

"Okay, go down and continue to deal with this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Jiang Li and the others should be able to give you information soon. Do your best to handle it." Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Grandson understands."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "The imperial examination, is it going on normally?"

"Everything is normal at the moment. If I ask that old man for the specific list, my grandson will arrest them regardless of whether they are taking the exam or not, even if they are in the middle of the exam."

Zhu Xuan added: "My grandson changed the test paper temporarily, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, thinking that Zhu Xuan had done a good job in dealing with the situation, and said, "Go and get busy, my dear grandson!"

"Grandson, resign!"

Zhu Xuan bowed and left the Qianqing Palace.

"Grandpa!"

When Wen Gui saw his father leave, his great grandfather's anger subsided a lot, and he said sensibly: "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry at those bad guys and ruin your own health!"

“It’s definitely not worth it!”

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged little Wengui and laughed, "Our Wengui is the one who cares about us."

"Dad also loves great grandfather very much."

Wen Gui said sensibly, "Although I don't know what happened, great grandfather must take good care of himself."

"well!"

All of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared in an instant.

Wen Gui's words could make him put all his worries aside. He smiled and said, "Wen Gui, our little great-grandson is the best!"

-

Zhu Xuan left the Qianqing Palace and returned to Wenhua Pavilion.

At this time, the news of cheating had already spread.

There was no need to conceal the fact that Lao Liu had been captured. After receiving the news, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked, but the officials who were being watched by the Jinyiwei had not discovered any problems for the time being.

The next step is to pry open Lao Liu’s mouth and see what clues he can provide.

However, many officials in the court knew that the court would soon face another bloody storm. They didn’t know how many people would die this time, but it was certain that there would be large-scale killings.

For a moment, people were in panic again.

All officials were afraid, fearing that it would happen again and that they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, and that many people would be implicated.

"Your Highness, Mr. Ji requests to see you."

Zhu Xuan had just sat down in Wenhua Pavilion when he saw Hou Xian coming in to deliver a message.

Hearing that it was Ji Wenjing who came, Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Pass it on!"

After a while.

Ji Wenjing walked into Wenhua Pavilion and sighed, "Your Highness is not in a very good mood today!"

Zhu Xuan said helplessly: "After something like this happened, no matter how optimistic I am, I can't feel good. What do you think of the cheating incident, Mr. Ji? How about you tell my fortune?"

Ji Wenjing shook his head and said, "I am a charlatan, so I can't predict anything, but I can imagine that the cheater can do so much, so he must have a complicated background."

If you don’t have a background, you will never get the test paper from the palace.

No one would dare to be so arrogant. (End of this chapter)
