"...Weichen understands."
Li Qiao responded respectfully.
"Just understand. Okay, let's go down."
Sheng Hong smiled and raised his hand to pat Li Qiao's shoulder: "I'll have someone send you some supplements tomorrow. You have a good rest."
"...Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Li Qiao looked grateful and took a few steps back, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the palace.
Every step is heavier than before.
Sheng Hong trusted him so much and had high hopes for him. If he hadn't said...
That’s all.
For the sake of prospering this paradise, for the people of Li, and for the fairness of this session, we oppose the third prince becoming emperor, and we should start with him.
After a pause, he turned and looked at Sheng Hong.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Sheng Hong was about to order the Forbidden Army soldiers to send the hundred test papers back to Gongyuan. Hearing this, he looked at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, what's the matter?"
"Among these hundred test papers, there are three that are similar." Li Qiao got straight to the point.
"What?!"
Sheng Hong's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and he pointed at the test paper in the wooden box in disbelief: "Li Aiqing, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Wei Chen knows that Wei Chen is guilty."
Li Qiao said as he lifted up his clothes and knelt down, but kept his back straight: "Weichen noticed it on the first day, and it was only then that Weichen opened his mouth. Weichen was guilty. But Weichen can't betray your trust, I can’t bear to see an innocent person who has been studying hard for many years come to nothing.”
"Wei Chen doesn't know the specific story. He only knows that three papers are the same, and one is..."
He told the details of three similar papers.
When he was in Gongyuan just now to retrieve the original copies of these three papers, he took the opportunity to confirm that it was not the copying officer who copied them wrong, but the original copies.
In this case, there is only one possibility left.
These three papers were copied.
Or, worse yet, the test questions were leaked.
Feng Huan's Tancai comes from the biography of Mengchangjun in "Historical Records". As the fourth prince of the Warring States Period, Mengchangjun was not unpopular at all.
So although this idiom is difficult to write, in fact, anyone who has read historical records will know this idiom. If you are nervous and unsure of how to write the word "huan" for a while, you can just write it as "Feng Chen".
After all, this is a juzi, so I still have this bit of knowledge reserve.
However, these three people all wrote Feng Huan, and the mistakes were still the same.
He wrote Feng Huan's name wrong, but he was able to give practical ways to make money. This is suspicious no matter how you analyze it.
Eighty percent of the test questions for this general examination have been leaked.
Moreover, judging from the level of these three people, not only in this joint examination, but also in the children's examination and the provincial examination of these three people, these three people must have cheated.
To be able to cheat all the way, there must be a lot of involvement.
If such a person becomes an official, he will be unworthy of the paradise of Dasheng and also unworthy of Sheng Hong's trust.
Even if he is blamed by Sheng Hong, even if he offends the third prince and many officials, he still has to say it.

The author has something to say:
Chapter 170 Fraud There must be something wrong with Li Qiao!
"First find out the similar papers for me and then we can decide whether to punish them or not."
After listening to Li Qiao's words, Sheng Hong's face was gloomy, but his tone was quite gentle.
Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew it would be like this. Sheng Hong would only be angry with him for being stingy, but he would never be angry.
He quickly stood up, took a few steps to the wooden box containing the test papers, and quickly found the three identical papers.
"Your Majesty, these three test papers all come from Songjiang Prefecture. Songjiang Prefecture is the capital of Zhehai Province. Wei Chen's previous hesitation was also based on this."
Handing the test paper to Sheng Hong, he did not forget to defend himself.
Zhehai Province is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is the richest province in Dasheng. The annual taxes paid are as much as those of four original river provinces.
Other feudal officials were in charge of two or three provinces. Only the governor of Zhehai Province was in charge of one province.
At present, something like this has happened in Songjiang Mansion, the capital of Zhehai Province, and the examiner this time is still the third prince. He is unwilling to offend others with his mouth. This is normal.
He is a peasant boy with no background or foundation. Sheng Hong should understand him.
Hearing this, Sheng Hong glared at Li Qiao angrily, but he didn't answer Li Qiao's words and just went to look up the outrageous typo in the test paper.
After confirming that there were indeed three identical typos in the three test papers, and that the three articles were all mediocre and even somewhat illogical, his face fell completely.
At this level, not to mention being a scholar, even a scholar is inferior!
But it happened that these three people sat in Shengjing Gongyuan and successfully passed the Jinshi examination!
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Hong tried his best to suppress the anger that was about to rush to his forehead. He couldn't let his anger cause serious harm to his body.
It's not worth hurting his dragon body for such a few bitches.
Isn't that just fraud?
no big deal.
Since the birth of the imperial examination, which dynasty or generation has had no cases of fraud?
Although he pays close attention to the scientific examination, the only place he can really keep an eye on is Shengjing. The sky is high and the emperor is far away from the place nearby. He is not clairvoyant and has a clear ear. It is normal for fraud cases to occur.
It would be abnormal not to show up!
No fraud, no imperial examination!
He closed his eyes and took a long breath. When he opened his eyes again, he gritted his teeth and looked at Qian San: "Go and call Yan'er."
When he mentioned the word Yan'er, he couldn't help but grind his teeth. With Li Qiao's good hearing, he clearly heard the subtle grinding sound.
"Also, send someone to arrest these three idiots first to avoid any problems."
Qian San hunched his shoulders, said yes, and then quickly left the Qixian Hall.
"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body."
Li Qiao stared at the blue veins on the back of Sheng Hong's hands and couldn't help but remind him.
When Sheng Hong heard this, he turned to look at the test paper in his hand that was about to be scratched by him. He let out a sigh and threw the test paper back into the wooden box.
He looked at Li Qiao with a solemn face: "Li Aiqing, I know that you are a senior and a junior, so you have many worries. But if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you can report it directly to me. There is no need to hesitate. This is a great event." There is no bigger backer than me, as long as I protect you, who can touch you?"
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I will definitely punish you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness. I hope that this kind of thing will never happen to me again."
Li Qiao said with gratitude and a wry smile.
"I hope so."
Sheng Hong also sighed.
As an emperor, he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen.
So annoying!
The Gongyuan was some distance away from the palace. Qian San rode a fast horse and galloped away, then galloped back with the third prince, which took a total of less than half an hour.
Qian San was very stern and only said that the Holy Emperor summoned the third prince to the palace for urgent matters. The third prince didn't know what happened until Sheng Hong threw three sets of test papers on him.
"Cheating?"
His eyes were wide open, and he picked up the test paper that had fallen to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face. There was a look of panic in his eyes.
It shouldn’t be!
"Li Aiqing! Tell the examiner this year what went wrong."
Sheng Hong endured his anger and ordered Li Qiao to answer the third prince's questions.
Li Qiao responded and stepped forward to take the test paper from the third prince's hand and pointed out the ridiculous similarities.
The third prince's expression quickly changed from disbelief to dumbfounded, and his eyes were about to pop out.
He turned to glare at Li Qiao.
Isn't it?
With the speed of grading papers as fast as a starving ghost scrambling for food, how could this Li Qiao pay attention to such details?
Something is wrong!
Those who take part in the examination are all candidates, and there is no need to doubt the basic skills. The markers only need to read the final policy article.
This is the established rule!
But this Li Qiao not only paid attention to the previous article, but also discovered the problem with a keen eye.
Something is wrong.
There must be something wrong with this man.
This person was not there to mark the exam, this person was clearly here to find faults!
"What are you looking at Li Aiqing for? What I asked you to look at is the test paper!"
Sheng Hong said dissatisfiedly: "Did you see clearly? Examiner Sheng, please explain to me why such a ridiculous mistake occurred?"
"..."
The third prince withdrew his gaze and stared down at the test papers in his hands. His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a reasonable reason for these three ridiculous test papers.
