Favoritism and corruption were serious crimes in the Dayu Dynasty. Not only would the current exam be invalidated, but the right to participate in the imperial examination in the future would also be eliminated.
This is tantamount to directly killing a student's path to the imperial examinations.
Xu Mo was terrified, feeling that this piece of paper was a hot potato, and it was impossible to put it anywhere.
