Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 531 He Shen will not do anything without profit

Mo Li stuttered, "Look, then... let's come back next time, next time."

The man looked at the two people's departing backs in silence.

Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue went downstairs. Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, I never thought there would be so many twists and turns in this study."

Mo Li sighed and said, "Scholars are the worst. Their writing is rotten, as rotten as mud. The country originally wanted talents, but who knew it would become a trick to deceive people. They write three sentences to start the topic, two sentences to break it, and then shake their heads and tails, and then they claim to be high-ranking officials. They don't care what kind of articles are in the Three Tongs and Four Histories, or which dynasties the Hanzu and Tangzong were emperors of. If you want to deceive high-ranking officials, come and buy this new weapon."

He spread his hands helplessly.

Du Xiaoyue asked, "Brother Li, who are you talking about?"

Mo Li said, "The people here are from Liansheng Store."

After saying this, he sighed again and continued, "The misfortune of the Great Xuan Nation."

……

When it was time for the morning court session, Mo Li walked into the court room and put down his official hat. At this moment, a man stood up, walked up to him, and said, "Isn't this Lord Mo?"

Mo Li turned around and looked at him, and asked, "Who is this..."

The man said, "Master Mo, you are truly a forgetful person. You forgot that year when I brought you a poem to ask for your advice, and after you read it, you picked it up and started reading it."

Mo Li couldn't help but smile.

The man continued, "They said they smelled the odor of a swill vat, extremely sour and rancid."

Mo Li laughed heartily and said, "I remember now. He Lin and the master's younger brother."

Recalling something, he asked, "Aren't you running a food station in front of the army? Why are you..."

He Shen had noticed the situation long ago and came over to say, "Oh, that's what happened. That's what happened. I've been very busy lately, so I asked His Majesty to transfer He Lin over here. Brothers fight together to fight a tiger, and fathers and sons fight together in battle."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Master He, what kind of formation are you going to fight this time? What kind of tiger are you going to fight?"

After saying that, he sat down.

He Shen looked at him and said, "You, there is something else behind your words."

Mo Li laughed and said, "Hey... My Lord, I believe that hens crow, roosters lay eggs, and dogs don't eat shit. But what kind of official are you? You are a greedy person who will not do anything without profit, and will even pluck the feathers of passing geese..."

Heshen quickly covered his mouth with his hand to stop him from speaking.

Mo Li said, "I don't believe you got up early for no good reason."

He Shen smiled and said, "I tell you, you are joking too much, too much."

Mo Li said seriously: "My Lord, just treat it as a joke, don't be angry."

He Shen laughed and said, "How can that be? This is not a place, it's the court room. Isn't it written there, 'One Hall of Harmony'?"

Mo Li looked in the direction his hand pointed and laughed.

……

In the Imperial Study, the Emperor Gai Zhang sat on a chair and said, "Regarding the matter of the Chief Examiner, I have thought about it over and over again. If I send Mo Li, He Shen will not think it is appropriate. If I send He Shen, Mo Li will not think it is appropriate either. So who should I send?"

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, as I have suggested, it would be best if you were to take the chief examiner yourself. This would eliminate any criticism and completely eradicate any malpractices."

Mo Li said, "What?! Let the emperor be the chief examiner?"

Emperor Gai Zhang frowned and said, "Why, am I not qualified enough?"

Mo Li said: "No, I dare not think so."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Then it is settled. The Jiangnan provincial examination has caused a great uproar. I don't want to see the sword raised to kill ministers again."

He Shen nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
