Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

In the imperial palace, hundreds of students were standing in the square of the imperial palace. Xiao Yu and the Cheng brothers were among them, and there were even many sons of officials.

Originally, many people did not dare to come, but it was Master Pan who encouraged them and gave them a chance to meet the emperor. The emperor was also Master Pan’s student, and there were also Master Pan’s students among these people. This won the emperor’s favor and eliminated everyone’s timidity.

They responded to Master Pan's call and joined in one after another. The team was huge, well-organized, and exuded a thriving atmosphere.

The emperor and his ministers came to the steps outside the Golden Throne Hall. Looking at the young faces, Master Pan led everyone in saluting, "I, the humble people, pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor."

The emperor glanced at Jiang Jinyan, meaning that he was also considered a student this year and should return to the team.

Jiang Jinyan took off his official hat and stood in the team.

The emperor smiled broadly and spoke in a friendly voice, "No need to be polite, you are all good sons of my Great Zhou. I welcome you. It is my blessing to have you. The Great Zhou Dynasty has hope because of you. Today I asked Master Pan to invite you to the palace, not to test your knowledge. Don't be nervous, just express your opinions."

The students were stunned. They all said that the emperor was majestic and sacred, but they didn't expect the emperor to be so kind. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor has done a great job in winning people's hearts. This is the emperor's art of controlling his ministers. A large number of these people will be officials occupying important positions. The emperor's kindness will win him a group of die-hard fans who will be full of respect and admiration for the emperor.

As an emperor, one must know how to use people well, utilize their strengths, and make the best use of their talents.

To be an emperor you don't have to go to the battlefield or charge into battle, but you must be able to win the hearts of the people so that they will become his eyes, ears, nose, and even his hands and feet.

These are what the prince needs to learn, and they are also the principles of being an emperor that the emperor wants to teach him.

Xie Shang thought that he would only be excited when facing thousands of troops, but he did not expect that he would be equally excited when facing these students. His father was right, these people were the hope of the Great Zhou, young and energetic.

At this moment, Xie Shang seemed to understand why his father scolded him for "putting the cart before the horse" ten years ago. He wanted to show off his merits, wanted to get his father's recognition, and even wanted to show off his merit in killing the enemy leader. However, his father poured a bucket of cold water on him, scolded him and said he was useless.

This bucket of cold water extinguished his arrogance, and he worked even harder, wanting his father to change his opinion of him, to like him and value him. It turned out that his father wanted to wake him up, as he was young and too reckless.

As the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he also wanted to prove his ability to his father and gain his recognition. In fact, his father might have always known about his efforts, which was why he appointed him as the crown prince.

Apart from the fact that he was too cruel and heartless to his mother, he always thought that his father was a wise emperor.

At this time, Aoxue, Yeying and others also brought Wang Qing and Wang Yuanwai to the palace.

The palace was crowded with people. Wang Qing was so scared when he saw a man in bright yellow clothes standing on the steps with such a majestic and cold aura that he wet his pants and hid behind his father.

When everyone saw that the person in front of them looked exactly like Wang Qing in the hall, they all seemed to understand that the Wang Qing who entered the examination room was not the real Wang Qing. Even if such a person was allowed to cheat, he might not be able to finish the three exam questions.

Xie Shang saw Aoxue and Yeying coming with people. They could enter and leave the palace freely. It should be the token given to them by Jiang Fenghua. In other words, it was Jiang Fenghua who asked them to capture the real Wang Qing. How did she know that the Wang Qing in the palace was a fake?

This has completely cleared Master Jiang’s grievances.

When he came before the emperor, Wang Yuanwai collapsed on the ground before the trial even started, and confessed everything: "Half a year ago, it was Thousand Faces Young Master who took the initiative to find my family and said that there was an opportunity to help my son become an official, as long as I could afford it. I was also obsessed with letting my son become an official, but it was just a matter of spending some money. I saw that he really had a photographic memory and a profound face-changing technique, so I agreed."

The Thousand Faces Young Master is a well-known figure in the martial arts world. He is also a rare person. Not only does he have a photographic memory, he is also a ventriloquist. He can imitate all kinds of sounds, whether it is the voices of men and women, the sounds of various birds and beasts, and even the sounds of wind and water. He can imitate them easily.

No matter if he was severely punished or killed, he would not reveal a single word of information about the betrayal buyer.

The Thousand Faces Man wore a human skin mask with Wang Qing's appearance on his face. Even after taking off the mask, his true appearance might not be visible, so he was called the Thousand Faces Man.

After listening to Mr. Wang's statement, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Shang Hong, bring the man up here!"

Commander Shang had already tied him up and was waiting for the emperor's decision.

The Thousand Faces Young Master still had a face exactly like Wang Qing's. The emperor stared at him and Wang Qing and said, "They really are exactly the same. There is such a profound face-changing technique in the world. What do you really look like? Change it in front of me."

The Thousand Faces Young Master had his hands and feet tied up. "Your Majesty, please untie me first, so I can change my face for you."

The Imperial Guards quickly stepped forward with their swords raised. Commander Shang said, "These people in the martial arts world have some strange abilities. Don't trust them. Be careful of fraud."

The emperor cherished his life the most. He stepped back and asked, "Since you took the money from the Wang family to take the exam for Wang Qing, why did you frame Master Jiang? What does this have to do with Master Jiang?"

Qianmian Langjun had already thought of a pretext. "I am not trying to frame Master Jiang. It is the Wang family that has always held a grudge against Master Jiang for not accepting Wang Qing as a student. Master Jiang looked down on the Wang family as merchants. If the truth is revealed, they will say that I bought the test questions from Master Jiang. The pretext that Master Jiang went to Nishang Pavilion to buy things and exchanged the test questions with me was also discussed in advance. I just don't know when Master Jiang exchanged the things inside. The Wang family's money was also prepared to be sent to the Jiang Mansion a long time ago."

Xie Shang asked, "Where did you get the test questions? Didn't you say that Master Jiang stole them from the Imperial Study?"

"We started following Master Jiang half a year ago. We all know when he enters and leaves the palace. He enters the palace to see the emperor, and he should meet the emperor in the imperial study!" Qianmian Langjun's words are reasonable, and he added, "We didn't steal the test questions. I know how to do it myself. If you don't believe me, I can recite them on the spot."

So, he really memorized a set of test questions randomly, and wrote a very coherent essay, which made people feel that he should not take the exam for others just for money, but should take the exam himself. Maybe he could even get the top scorer or the third place in the imperial examination, and become an official with power and money.

Xie Shang also found it incredible after hearing this. This was considered a genius. He asked Wang Yuanwai again: "Is what he said true? How did you know each other?"

Wang Yuanwai thought for a moment and said, "He came to the Wang family on his own initiative, and I don't know why I believed his words."

The Thousand Faces Young Master said, "We met when we were registering for the imperial examination. I saw that they wanted to pass the examination and were willing to pay for a teacher, so I took the initiative to find Mr. Wang for money and promised that I would definitely help Wang Qing pass the examination. The Wang family gave me 100,000 taels of silver as a reward.

It was then that I realized that Wang Yuanwai had long hated Master Jiang, and that’s when I thought that if I was caught, I would say that I bought the test questions from Master Jiang. This would not only avenge Master Jiang, but also allow me to escape punishment. I heard that students who cheat would not be sentenced to a serious crime as long as the circumstances were not serious or they confessed honestly.

"You are really careful and thoughtful in every step!" The emperor said in a deep voice: "Shang Hong."

"The humble position is here."

"Drag them all away and chop them off. I don't want to know what he looks like. He dares to disrupt the court and manipulate the imperial examinations. I will never tolerate such a person." The emperor said coldly.

There was a hint of fear in the Thousand Faces Man's eyes, but he still looked ready to die.

Wang Yuanwai and Wang Qing begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare our lives. We will never dare to do it again."

Wang Qing said, "We don't want to frame Master Jiang. He asked us to do this."

Commander Shang directly ordered people to escort them away.

At this time, the emperor looked in the direction of Su Dehai. Ever since Chief Steward Cao saw him contacting the eunuchs in the palace, the eunuchs had been secretly detained. Now, no matter what the outcome of this case was, the Su family was already on the emperor's blacklist.

The emperor did not take action against the Su family for embezzling military pay. As long as they were a little corrupt, as long as it was not excessive, he could turn a blind eye. However, the Su family planted spies in the palace and even colluded with eunuchs, which made them suspected of treason and their crimes were unforgivable.

Everyone knew the truth by now. Mr. Wang was resentful that Master Jiang did not accept Wang Qing as a student, so he asked Master Jiang to take the blame. He was so vicious. He did not even look in the mirror at the character of his own son. Even if he handed him over to Master Pan to teach, there was no way he could pass the exam.

"What's fake won't be real, and what's real won't be fake." Grand Tutor Pan said, "The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. Even if Wang Qing finds someone to take the high school entrance exam for him, if he really enters the officialdom, he will be discovered sooner or later."

After resolving the students' doubts, the emperor still had to supervise the examination personally to motivate them.

What happened just now also made the students more respectful of the emperor.
