Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"This...this is impossible!"

At the entrance of the examination room.

The Fourth Prince, who was questioned by Chu Ning, showed disbelief on his face: "It has only been a short time since the cheating was discovered, how could you have new test questions so soon!"

The prince reacted and sneered, "Eighteenth brother, no one will believe your excuse!

I understand that you want to preserve your first imperial examination, but you shouldn't lie in front of so many adults!"

"lie?"

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "If you don't believe me, Prince, I can have someone bring the first two exam questions to you all."

Now that the exam has begun, even if the first test questions are told to everyone, it will not have any impact on the candidates.

Liu Shouren's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Your Highness the King of Chu is right. If there are really new test questions, the imperial examination can naturally continue."

"Your Majesty, please check whether the two test questions are consistent!"

The emperor also understood at this time.

Chu Ning came prepared.

It is impossible to come up with questions immediately in such a short time. They must have been prepared in advance.

If this is true, then the imperial examination can continue this time.

"That does make sense. Chu Ning, bring the two test papers to me!" The emperor nodded in agreement.

Chu Ning immediately ordered Ran Ming: "Go to my desk and bring the two test questions."

Soon, Ran Ming took out two test papers from the examination room and handed them to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor took the test paper and took a look at it. He showed satisfaction on his face: "The two test papers are indeed different."

He looked up at Chu Ning with surprise in his eyes and asked, "Have you prepared another set of test questions in advance?"

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "This is the first imperial examination in our dynasty, and I dare not neglect it, so I prepared an extra set of test questions in advance.

It is better to be prepared than to cram at the last minute. Although there were some unexpected events in this imperial examination, I handled them in time and I believe they will not affect the examination."

The emperor was very satisfied, returned the test paper, and said with a smile: "Very good, I am confident that you can do the job well!"

Chu Ning took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Since Father is here, why not go in and take a look?"

This is to give reassurance to candidates who are taking the exam.

After all, cheating did occur in this imperial examination, and the outside world will certainly have doubts about the continued examination.

But if the emperor invited the examination room and went in to see it himself, all doubts would disappear.

After all, no one dared to question the emperor!

The prince and others beside him certainly understood this. They looked at each other and a hint of worry flashed across their faces.

If Chu Ning's plan succeeds, they will gain nothing this time.

Thinking of this, the prince had to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Father, the cheating case has not been investigated yet, you are not suitable to enter the examination room at this moment!"

The Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince and other ministers also stood up and agreed.

They all knew that once the emperor went in, it would definitely give legitimacy to this imperial examination, and it would be difficult to attack it in the future.

No matter what, they must stop the emperor from entering the examination room!

But they had no idea that the emperor wanted to use this imperial examination to recruit candidates with no background at all, in order to check and balance the wealthy families!

Seeing everyone's opposition, the emperor narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold look: "This is the first imperial examination of this dynasty, how can I not take it seriously?

What’s more, since something like this happened today, I must go in and take a look!

Chu Ning, lead the way!"

The final word was given, leaving no room for objection.

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gestured with his hand: "Father, please come in!"

Led by Chu Ning, the emperor walked straight into the examination room.

The prince and a group of ministers stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Go in. Once the emperor determines that this imperial examination is legal, they will not be able to continue to obstruct it in the future.

You can’t go in, there are so many people watching outside.

What’s more, the emperor has already gone in, so how could they dare not go in?

You don't really think you are greater than the emperor, do you?

The prince gritted his teeth and walked in with a reluctant look on his face.

Seeing this, the other princes and ministers did not hesitate and followed.

In the examination room, candidates are writing furiously.

Suddenly, a shrill voice made everyone stop writing with their brushes.

"Your Majesty is here!"

All the examinees put down their brushes, stood up, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Everyone was very excited. They didn't expect that the emperor would come to inspect on his own initiative, nor did they expect that they would see the emperor at this moment.

The emperor looked at everyone with satisfaction and said loudly: "An accident happened today, but the King of Chu handled it properly and stopped the loss in time, so the situation did not escalate!

Don't worry, now that we have changed the test questions, you just need to demonstrate your abilities and don't have to worry about other things.

You are all pillars of our dynasty. As long as you pass the exam, you can serve the country as an official in the future!"

This statement clearly tells everyone that cheating will not affect the fairness of this imperial examination!

The emperor personally took the lead, and all the students were encouraged. They shouted in unison: "We will do our best to repay the emperor's grace!"

The emperor was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys continue with your exams. I won't bother you anymore."

In front of the candidates, the emperor showed his magnanimity.

All the candidates returned to their seats and continued the exam.

Seeing this, Chu Ning stepped forward and said with a smile, "Father, the weather is hot, do you want to go in and rest for a while?"

The emperor shook his head and smiled, "No need. My presence here will only affect their performance."

Having said this, the emperor turned and left.

Chu Ning immediately stepped forward and said, "I will see you off, Father!"

Afterwards, Chu Ning sent the emperor and others to the entrance of the examination room.

This is the only role of the emperor. After he has used his power, why doesn't he leave and stay for dinner?

But the prince and others were unwilling to accept this!

If they leave like this today, the imperial examination will be completed, which is very disadvantageous to them.

We must not let the imperial examination end so easily!

Arriving at the entrance of the examination room, before the emperor got on the sedan chair, the prince stepped forward to block the emperor and said in a deep voice:

"Father, cheating has occurred in this imperial examination. If we don't deal with it, people will inevitably question the fairness of the examination!"

The fourth prince also stepped forward and echoed: "Yes, father, this matter must be explained, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

Even the Eighth Prince, who was always known for his wisdom, took the initiative to step forward and frowned, saying, "Father, the imperial examination is of great importance. If cheating occurs, the people who are unaware of it will definitely question this imperial examination!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and he glanced at the three people coldly, and asked indifferently:

"You are so anxious, I think you have a plan in mind. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The rhetorical question, which turned the tables on the host, left the prince and the other two with lingering fears.

At this time, Chu Ning also asked with a smile: "Yes, the three brothers are so determined to explain, I wonder how I can give you an explanation?"

Since you are insisting on this matter, then draw a line for yourselves!

The prince was ruthless and said in a deep voice: "This exam cheating happened under the supervision of you, my eighteenth brother. You must be held responsible for it!"

Since we can't stop the scientific expedition, then target Chu Ning!
