Jinling City became "lively" with the arrival of Prince Jing and Prince Wei.
As soon as Prince Jing arrived in Jinling City, he began organizing the imperial examinations, yet not a single scholar registered to participate. He had anticipated this situation before coming to Jinling City.
He ordered the Jinling Governor to send people to persuade the poor scholars to register for the examinations, assuring them that with him, Prince Jing, present, no one could prevent them from taking part.
The Jinling Governor agreed on the surface but was perfunctory in secret. When Prince Jing found out, he unceremoniously beat the Jinling Governor, giving him fifty lashes. Moreover, he imprisoned the Jinling Governor and some constables in the dungeon.
Prince Jing knew that it was the families obstructing the imperial examinations, so he went to confront them. As expected, the families completely disregarded him as Prince Jing. Although he was angry, he did not lose his composure.
