Now that she knows Jia Rong's helplessness, Mrs. Zhao will naturally not blame her.
To be honest, Jia Rong's reaction was quick. When the people in the eldest prince's residence were aggressive, he could still find reasons to prevaricate.
only……
"Is your assessment content too simple?"
Mrs. Zhao worriedly said: "If the eldest prince passes the examination, what should you do? How do you want to explain to the other noble families?"
But he made a decision in his heart. If it really got to that point, even if he put down his old face, he would help Jia Rong get through this difficulty.
Jia Rong was really dumbfounded and said amusedly: "Grandma, do you also think that the assessment I gave the eldest prince is easy?"
"Why, is it possible that there is some way inside?"
Mrs. Zhao was taken aback and reminded: "Don't play too much!"
"Grandma just looks at it, and her grandson won't interfere at all!"
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Things are not as simple as imagined!"
It is indeed not simple!
Even in a modern society with diverse technological equipment and complete management measures and organizational methods, it is not easy to organize a large-scale chess game, let alone the feudal ethics era with low productivity and even lower organizational efficiency.
Amid the heated discussions outside, the First Prince's Mansion disclosed various rules and measures for the chess competition, causing a sensation in the capital city.
As the "Polo Review" said, the prize money for the champion of the chess competition is a full 10,000 taels of silver. Not to mention the private chess masters, even some official chess masters can't help but be tempted.
After all, this is a great opportunity to win ten thousand taels of silver in an honest and fair manner, which is recognized even today.
Then, the chess competition started in chaos from the moment the registration started.
The subsequent competition organization was even more chaotic and criticized.
The most unpleasant thing among them is that certain matches are obviously deliberately intentional.
This means that the private experts participating in the competition dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Even a fool can see that many folk chess masters are arranged to fight each other during the game. The internal friction alone has reduced almost half of the folk masters.
The various rules and regulations of chess competitions, as well as the competition modes, are all confusing.
If the bonuses were not really attractive, there would have been quite a lot of them, and the private masters would have turned around and left, and no one would want to be treated like that.
At the final stage, the remaining chess masters were all official figures and famous scholars, and there were only a few private masters.
Although the level of these people is not bad, the attention of the chess competition has dropped again and again, and most of the ordinary spectators have disappeared.
As expected, the final championship was won by a senior Hanlin bachelor.
But this chess match gave people the impression that it started but ended, and some enthusiastic spectators were a little disinterested.
During this period, the influential publication "Polo Review" has been closely reporting the details of chess matches in real time.
In the end, there was no concluding article, so it ended hastily.
Then, the nobles who paid attention to this matter unexpectedly heard a very shocking news: the eldest prince was called into the palace and scolded severely for almost half an hour!
I heard that when he came out of the palace, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole body seemed to have been severely damaged.
Then, there is no more.
The eldest prince stayed behind closed doors after returning home, as if the chess game had never happened at all.
As for the matter of asking Jia Rong and the management of the Polo League for contributions, it just went away.
All the nobles who paid attention to this matter were dumbfounded and didn't understand why the eldest prince failed so miserably.
Of course, there are also those who can see it clearly. When they teach their own children in private, they speak quite clearly.
"The eldest prince made a big mistake, that is, he trusted too much in the execution and ability of his subordinates!"
"Another one is that the eldest prince has some indiscriminate priorities!"
"For this matter, as long as we organize and plan the game well, it doesn't matter if it gets messed up!"
"But after seeing so many official failures, and even Hanlin bachelors, the eldest prince's thoughts have changed a bit, and he wants to use the chess game to build relationships!"
"You're kidding, would a dignified Hanlin scholar sell himself for ten thousand taels of silver? It's obviously impossible!"
"Since you are selfish, there will naturally be a lot of unseemly moves in the chess game. Do you really think others can't see it?"
"Once the chess game is unfair, the eldest prince will lose this assessment!"
"I just didn't expect that people are paying great attention to this matter now!"
"Obviously, the performance of the eldest prince is very disappointing to today, otherwise he would not have directly called the eldest prince and reprimanded him for half an hour!"
"This time, the eldest prince was completely defeated by his own selfish thoughts and the abilities of his subordinates!"
At this point, the noble man who understood the cause of the matter sighed: "That man from the Ning Mansion is so awesome, he directly set up such a trap for the eldest prince!"
"Of course, I don't blame him for this!"
"The profit of the Polo League in a season is at least one million cars. What a huge amount of money is this?"
"The fundamental reason for maintaining the normal operation of the polo league and becoming more and more popular is relative fairness and justice!"
"If the eldest prince manages the chess match this time and manipulates things secretly, how can the polo league be fair? Naturally, the enjoyment of it will be greatly reduced!"
"No wonder the man from Ning Mansion has repeatedly emphasized fairness and justice in the polo league management, and does not allow responsible managers like us to interfere. He will deal with it once he finds it. That's it!"
"However, the man from the Ning Mansion also hated the eldest prince this time!"
"Royal nobles don't know how to introspect themselves. They are accustomed to pointing their fingers outward. It's obviously difficult for the Ning Mansion to escape!"
Of course Jia Rong knew it, but he didn't care.
Let's put it this way, in all dynasties unless the emperor had few heirs, it would be rare for the eldest prince to successfully succeed to the throne.
By the way, the eldest prince is not the legitimate son today.
Moreover, there are a lot of princes under his knees, more than seven at the moment.
Among them, there are three people who are over fifteen years old. There are still many things to do to seize the legitimate children in the future. How can they have the mind to care about the Ning Mansion?
Unless the Ning Mansion can quickly revitalize and reach its previous peak state, it will become the target of everyone's wooing by the princes.
Besides, this time it was the eldest prince who took the initiative to cause trouble. The royal family can be unreasonable, but the Xungui Group is not easy to provoke.
Once the eldest prince deliberately targets him under such circumstances, what will the other noble families who are involved in the polo league think?
Can the royal children deprive them of their legitimate interests without restraint...
