Chapter Proud

Author: Ran Xi Nian

Hearing these words, King Zhao had no choice but to retreat in disbelief.

When Prince Ning next to him saw this scene, a flash of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

I thought to myself, a character like this actually wants to compete with me. I really don’t know where he gets his confidence.

Although he despised King Zhao in his heart, he also understood that a large part of the reason why King Zhao came out was because of Emperor Hongwen, and the second reason was because of his several major decision-making mistakes in the past.

After settling for so long, he now has a clear understanding of his current situation.

You still have to be more cautious when doing things in the future.

Soon, Ce Wen's examination papers were distributed. Since the examination was to be held today, Wang De had four tables and chairs prepared early.

The four of them immediately started writing after receiving the test papers.

The first to put down his writing brush was the Marquis of the Republic of China.

"Your Majesty, I have finished my answer."

This scene made many people frown. Even Emperor Hongwen frowned, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

But he didn't say much. After all, he was very clear about the thoughts of Founding Marquis. Since he didn't want to, there was no need to force it.

Besides, he never thought about handing over this position to the founding lord.

Speaking of who should give this position to, he thought about it all day yesterday but had no answer. Finally, Lu Yaoyao sent him a letter, and he finally got some ideas.

"Wang De, please present the answer given by the founding prince."

Wang De hurried over and soon the test papers were in Emperor Hongwen's hands.

Seeing the answer given by the Marquis of Kaiguo, Emperor Hongwen showed no expression on his face, and the ministers below also stretched their necks, wanting to see what the Marquis of the Founding State would answer.

"Cheng Aiqing, you can go back."

Hearing this, the founding lord hurriedly backed away.

Waiting for Marquis Kaiguo to leave the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Hongwen handed the test paper to Wang De and said to the person below, "I am not satisfied with Marquis Kaiguo's answer, so I am out of the game directly."

After he finished speaking, Xie Jin quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what Marquis Kaiguo's answer is?"

"Wang De, show the test paper to Xie Jin."

Soon Xie Jin got the examination paper for the Founding Marquis. Seeing this, he was helpless.

Well, I mean how did he get the answer so quickly? The answer to love is just one sentence.

The ministers have few talents and little knowledge, and are not qualified to be in charge of a military camp.

Everyone said that, what else could Emperor Hongwen say?

Xie Jin silently handed the exam paper back to Wang De, said nothing more, and returned to the queue.

Soon, another one was completed, and everyone was a little surprised when they saw it.

Because the person who completed it this time was actually Prince Ning.

Without Emperor Hongwen's instructions, Wang De took Prince Ning's examination papers and presented them to him.

He didn't just write one sentence like the founding princes did. On the contrary, he wrote a lot. Some places are quite good, but they are not perfect.

Emperor Hongwen did not speak, but handed the test paper to Wang De.

After a while, the examination papers for Prince Li and the Crown Prince were also written.

After Emperor Hongwen read it, he took a deep look at Prince Li and gave the examination paper to Wang De without any expression.

Of the four people, only King Zhao is left.

At this time, King Zhao was still writing at his desk, and sweat could be seen faintly on his forehead.

When King Ning saw him like this, he sneered in his heart, how much do you want to get this position? You are so desperate.

The courtiers nearby also had mixed opinions about King Zhao's situation. Some people who were not part of King Zhao's faction looked down upon King Zhao's actions.

Four people competed, and all three of them finished early, but you, King Zhao, are still writing furiously. Is this because you are afraid of not writing enough?

How much do you want to get this seat?

Although everyone wanted to get this seat, the first two were obviously much deeper than King Zhao. They thought they wanted to get it right away, but they acted calmly and calmly.

What about King Zhao? As far as the single-wheel city government is concerned, King Zhao is much inferior to the previous two.

As for those who support King Zhao, they are very satisfied with King Zhao's performance. They feel that although King Zhao's city is not as good as the first two, his serious attitude cannot be said.

Maybe he could impress Emperor Hongwen with this serious attitude.

When the time was approaching, King Zhao put down his writing brush, raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and said with a smile, "Father, I have finished writing."

Emperor Hongwen just nodded lightly, and Wang De was already in front of King Zhao, holding his examination paper in both hands and sending it to Emperor Hongwen.

There were a lot of things written on the examination paper, which were so densely packed that Emperor Hongwen did not just perfunctoryly read them, but read them in detail.

After a while, Emperor Hongwen handed the examination paper to Wang De.

"It can be seen that King Zhao has carefully understood Beidi and has done a lot of homework for this."

Hearing this, King Zhao was overjoyed, and everyone in his faction was also ecstatic.

"As for Prince Ning, his answer was good, but it still lacked some warmth and ignored a lot of things. It seems that he didn't do enough homework."

After hearing his own comments, Prince Ning was not disappointed at all. Instead, he stood up and said with a very decent attitude, "I will remember my father's teachings and I will work hard in the future."

Emperor Hongwen nodded.

King Zhao next to him was so red that he almost laughed out loud.

In his opinion, the only one who can compete with him for the position of commander of the Northern Army is Prince Ning. Now that his father's evaluation is so polarized, can he already seal the victory in advance?

He felt very comfortable when he thought that he would no longer have to worry about King Ning in the northern land that he would control in the future.

Some people would say, isn’t there Prince Heli and the Crown Prince?

Prince Li's family has always been low-key and very knowledgeable. According to the analysis given to him by the counselors around him, Emperor Hongwen wanted the military power in the North from the King of Jin and planned to give it to him.

Moreover, this method was used. To put it bluntly, the purpose was to give favor to King Ning or King Zhao, and the others were just foils to support Emperor Hongwen's justice.

In the eyes of King Zhao, the performance of the Founding Marquis just now was a sign of knowledge and interest. Prince Li must have just written the answer, but he was just speechless.

Just when he was feeling proud, Prince Ning across from him felt a little uncomfortable.

Judging from the current situation, this position is probably going to King Zhao.

I'm really unwilling to do so.

The next moment, Emperor Hongwen's voice sounded again.

"Wang De, please take down the examination paper of Prince Li and let all the ministers and ministers take a look at it."

Wang De nodded quickly and walked down with the exam paper. The first person he handed it to was Wen Songtao.

After reading the examination paper of Prince Li, Wen Songtao couldn't help but nodded, raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Li, without saying anything, he handed the examination paper directly to Prime Minister Dong.

As the examination papers continued to be passed around, those who had read the examination papers showed admiration for Prince Li.

I really didn't expect that Prince Li, the Crown Prince, would be a rare talent.
