The Blood of the Hongwu Emperor: the Life and Death Situation in the Imperial Examination Case

Nanbang is alone, and Beishi is rioting! He opened his "eyes of the sky" to see through the shady secrets of the imperial examination, but he was involved in the emperor's bloodiest chess game! In the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, the city of Nanjing exploded! The spring list of the imperial examination suddenly showed that "southerners were the only one on the list". The northern scholars who had lived in poverty for ten years rioted angrily and stained the Confucius Temple with blood! Chen Yan, a scholar from Fujian, has a mysterious "eye of truth" - he can actually see through the original handwriting of the transcribed test paper, and gain insight into the true level of the article and the hidden political murderous intent! When Liu Sanwu, the chief examiner, was exiled, Zhang Xin, the review officer, was punished, and even his most admired clan brother, the new top scholar Chen You, was pushed to the stage and beheaded... Chen Yan was shocked: How could this be unfair in the imperial examination? It was clearly Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who was using his head to play a bloody game of balancing the north and the south and reshaping the country! Idealism collides with ruthless power, and the scholar's anger is no match for the emperor's scheming. Chen Yan teamed up with Su Yingxue, the daughter of a bookseller who was well versed in the shady affairs of the imperial examination, and used the "eye of truth" as a blade in the turbulent waves of imprisonment, the reopening of the Beipang, and the strife of the gentry: From "Confucius crying in the temple" to "North and South division", witness the origin of the great changes in the imperial examination system in 600 years! See how the little scholar uses blood as ink to question the supreme justice between the emperor's butcher's knife and the party's struggle for the noose!
