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

Zhu Xuan certainly knew it, but Li Xu didn't dare.

However, forming cliques and factions in the court are things that no emperor wants to see. It is not a good thing for a ruler if his ministers are too united.

"Sit down!"

Seeing Li Xu's panic, Zhu Xuan said calmly, "If you don't want to sit down, you can get off and help me check the specific conditions of the candidates as supervision."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'd better go down and take a look."

Sitting next to Zhu Xuan, it was still very stressful for Li Xu.

It would be better to go and take a look, so that you can feel more relaxed.

"Then go down!" Zhu Xuan said.

After getting the consent, Li Xu quickly said that he obeyed the order. Then he walked downstairs. The pressure on his body was not so heavy anymore and he could slowly exhale.

With Zhu Xuan's order, the officials below began to lead the candidates into the examination room, but when entering, they had to undergo a comprehensive inspection of their personal belongings.

"Guardian Li!"

Those officials, guards, etc. all knew Li Xu. When they saw Li Xu coming down, they kept greeting him.

Li Xu said, "You don't have to do this. Check carefully. His Highness asked me to supervise you. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded and I will be proud, right?"

"Yes Yes!"

They said with a smile.

When the candidates who were entering the examination room heard that Li Xu was still Zhu Xuan's men, they all stood straighter, wanting to leave a good impression.

Jian Jinzhong was also among the people waiting in line for examination. At this moment, he was full of righteousness, his eyes were firm, and his thoughts were even firmer. He had already made up his mind that he would do well in the exam no matter what.

"I can't let you down, His Highness!"

Jian Jinzhong had a belief in his heart that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he would do it even if all the blood in his body was drained. Otherwise, he would not be able to repay His Highness for his kindness to them.

The cicada’s silk is not exhausted until it dies, and the candle’s tears do not dry until it turns into ashes.

Standing in front of Jian Jinzhong was Guan Yangping. Seeing Li Xu like this, he was so envious and hoped that he could achieve the same in the future.

However, he thought about the fact that he had no money and could not afford advanced cheating tools, so he could only sigh helplessly and tell himself that he could definitely do it.

"Next!"

Just when Guan Yangping was thinking about those things, it was finally his turn.

However, he was lost in thought and was unable to react for a while.

"What are you thinking about? It's your turn!"

The guard in charge of the inspection saw that Guan Yangping was absent-minded and shouted.

At the same time, I felt that this person didn't look very smart. How could he come to Beijing to take the imperial examination? I was a little bit unconvinced.

"I……"

Guan Yangping finally realized that it was his turn and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Take out all your things."

The guard in charge of the inspection said.

Guan Yangping quickly took out his things for them to check. As he was distracted just now and now he was absent-minded, he seemed to be in a panic and couldn't hold the things steadily, so they fell all over the floor.

All the cheating stuff also fell out.

The magnifying glass and the pen containing the notes fell at the guard's feet.

On top of that, the end of the pen was loose, revealing the cheat sheet inside.

Guan Yangping suddenly remembered that he forgot to tighten the end when he took it out for inspection last night. Now it has fallen out and seems to be exposed. Fortunately, the guards did not notice it, so he quickly put them all away.

At the same time, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He was panicking and scared to death, as if his heart was about to jump out. If he was discovered by the guards, he knew that his entire clan might not be able to be killed. After putting the things away, Guan Yangping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly thanking that nothing was discovered.

Just as he passed the inspection, Li Xu, who had been staring at Guan Yangping, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Li Xu didn't notice Guan Yangping at first. After all, there were so many scholars preparing for the exam here, and there was no need for him to stare at one person in particular. But the moment Guan Yangping dropped the thing happened to attract his attention.

I saw the magnifying glass and also saw the end of the pen, and it seemed like something fell out.

Suddenly, it stood up.

"Guardian Li, what's wrong?"

the guard asked.

"Pause for inspection."

Li Xu strode over, looked at Guan Yangping, and said, "Why are you so flustered? Your clothes are soaked with sweat. Is there something fishy going on? I'll check this person myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scholars queuing behind, as well as those who had already passed, all turned around to look at them.

Seeing Yang Ping's behavior, it seemed that there was really something wrong. Seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded him, ready to arrest him at any time.

"I...I'm just...nervous!"

Guan Yangping quickly explained himself.

However, the more he explained, the more panicked he felt. It was not nervousness at all, but guilty and afraid, as if he was about to be discovered.

"nervous?"

Li Xu shouted, "Give me what you just had."

Guan Yangping knew that it was all over, and he was panicking, but he didn't dare to take it out.

"Do it!"

Li Xu didn't care whether he dared to take it or not, he would just take it himself.

A guard pushed Guan Yangping to the ground.

Li Xu fumbled around for a while, took out the pen he had just used, and found a note written in small characters inside it. He unfolded it and asked, "Would you mind telling me what this is? It seems to be covered with small characters?"

All the candidates now saw the cheat sheet and they were all shocked.

There were even some candidates who were similar to Guan Yangping, who were even more panicked and scolded Guan Yangping harshly, wondering where this idiot came from? He couldn't even cheat properly, and he was going to kill them.

“And this magnifying glass.”

Li Xu knew what a magnifying glass was, and it was easy to buy outside. He picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the small words on it for a while, then smiled and said, "Is this how you cheat?"

"I don't dare...I don't dare anymore!"

Guan Yangping was almost frightened to death.

He was almost scared out of his wits, everything was about to be exposed, and he had no idea what to do. But he also knew that he was doomed this time.

"How to do?"

Guan Yangping kept thinking.

"Spare your life?"

Li Xu sneered. They were just discussing the issue of cheating, and someone cheated so soon. You know, Zhu Xuan was watching from upstairs. He said loudly: "All inspections are suspended. Wait for His Highness's order. Control this person first!"

"Yes!"

All the guards responded.

Li Xu added: "Seal off this place, block all news, and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Also wait for His Highness's order."

A large number of guards came over at this time.

This examination room was sealed off in this way. (End of this chapter)
