Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After inspecting the examination room, Ye Chen prepared to go to Tong’s Fish Shop for a meal.

But just as he was about to get on the carriage, a burst of angry curses suddenly reached his ears.

He frowned slightly and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

I saw an old woman holding a cane and beating a young man hard.

The young man was quite handsome, seven feet tall, and had an imposing bearing. But at this moment, he covered his head and shrank back desperately. Facing the old woman's crutches, he did not dare to resist at all, and even said nice words timidly, trying to calm the old woman down.

But the old woman's curse was so unpleasant that it attracted the attention of people on the street.

"You useless thing! I asked you to take the exam so that you could get good grades and live a good life. But you came to the capital and didn't even get your grades. You have no money at all and I can't even eat!"

"Did an old woman like me come to the capital with you to suffer together? You are a useless waste!"

The old woman cursed and waved her cane, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.

Although the young man felt a little aggrieved, he kept saying, "Mother, please don't be angry. It's my fault. It's all my fault."

Ye Chen looked at this scene and could feel the young man's helplessness and obedience.

He just looked at the young man silently, then got on the carriage.

"Qiu'er, have someone investigate the candidate who was just beaten by that old woman to find out what his relationship is with her."

"promise."

If the old woman is really the young man's elder.

That young man might be worth paying attention to.

After all, filial piety and loyalty are often regarded as one and the same. If this person is really as filial as he appears to be, he may also be a loyal and righteous person. However, we don't know what his abilities are, and we have to wait and see the test results.

But even if the result is not good, Ye Chen feels that he should let this person join his civilian intelligence organization.

To become a grassroots official, it is enough to be loyal, righteous and literate.

The carriage stopped in front of Tong's Fish Shop. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, and got off the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the car, Tong Le, who had recovered from his injuries and was clearing tables outside the store, came to greet him with shining eyes.

At this moment, she was wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure and pretty face, like a blooming lily, exuding the temperament of a beautiful girl next door.

She looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of joy, and said crisply: "Brother Ye, you are here, come in and sit down."

At the same time, Mo Rou also came forward.

She was wearing a pink long dress, with a plump figure, showing the charm of a mature woman.

She looked at Ye Chen with complicated eyes. She was worried but didn't dare to say it because of Tong Le.

When Ye Chen looked at Tong Le and Mo Rou, a warmth welled up in his heart.

He nodded slightly, showing a gentle smile, and said: "Tong Le, your injury has just healed, don't run so fast?"

Hearing this, Tong Le nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, I'm all right now, don't worry."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

"Let's go, I'm hungry."

Ye Chen stated his purpose.

Tong Le responded happily and led Ye Chen to the fish shop.

Mo Rou looked at the backs of the two people, feeling a little bitter in her heart, but she could only follow behind silently.

In Tong’s Fish Shop, Ye Chen sat leisurely at the table with spicy stew and fried dried tofu and other delicacies placed in front of him.

Mo Rou was busy on the side, pouring wine and serving dishes. Her graceful figure and gentle manners inadvertently exuded mature charm.

Tong sat with Ye Chen and had a great chat with him. She frequently took the initiative to pick up food for Ye Chen, her face filled with joy.

"Brother Ye, my business is really good right now. Many restaurants have placed orders. If it weren't for the limited supply, I'm afraid I would be extremely busy."

Tong smiled and said that the girl was obviously very satisfied with the business.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and after eating two chopsticks, he couldn't help but sigh that Tong Le's cooking talent was really excellent. The dishes he created were more delicious than the last.

In the future, with this kind of talent, after just two years of study, one would be a five-star dish. It is normal for this kind of dish to sell well.

After eating and drinking, Ye Chen prepared to leave.

Tong Le and Mo Rou saw him off together, both with reluctance on their faces.

Just as Ye Chen got on the carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

On the carriage, Shen Qiu suddenly clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Supervisory Office has sent news that the princess of Dayuan will arrive in the capital in seven days."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly, but his eyes became sharp again.

As long as the princess of Dayuan arrives, the marriage will be successful and there will be no constraints from the Tatars in the north.

Ye Chen is going to devote all his energy to replacing Yang Dechang's subordinates.

By then, even if the Jingzhou army was still in Wuguan, Ye Chen would have countless ways to get Yang Dechang out of office.

I pondered it for a while.

Ye Chen took a carriage back to the palace.

Then return to the Yangxin Palace.

Put on the dragon robe and wear the emperor's crown.

Ye Chen discussed tomorrow's public security issues with Yun Fuyao. It was not until late at night, after finalizing all aspects of public security, that he let Yun Fuyao serve him and let him rest.

Silent all night.

On the second day, in the Yangxin Palace, the early morning sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto the ground, creating a faint halo.

Ye Chen slowly woke up and reached out to touch his side, but only felt empty space.

There was no surprise on his face. Today was the day the imperial examination began, and as his trusted counselor, Yun Fuyao naturally had many things to do.

She needs to keep an eye on the security of the capital and ensure that candidates can take the exam in a safe environment.

Ye Chen slowly stood up, and his majestic voice sounded: "Change clothes, bring me the people's clothes."

A moment later, Cheng'en came hurriedly with the palace maids and changed Ye Chen's clothes with a respectful look on his face.

When Ye Chen was wearing common people's clothes, Yun Fuyao walked out gracefully from the side hall.

At this moment, she was wearing a light yellow brocade dress, and her scholarly temperament was overwhelming.

The moment Ye Chen saw Yun Fuyao, he was slightly stunned, and his heart was filled with amazement. He then said, "Fuyao, accompany me out of the palace and go see the candidates together."

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao readily agreed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already taken care of the public security matters long ago. I only know that Your Majesty will take me out of the palace."

Hearing this, Ye Chen secretly praised Yun Fuyao's thoughtfulness. She could always communicate with him, just like Murong Yan.

It’s just that Murong Yan has a special identity and is not his woman yet.

Then, Ye Chen and Yun Fuyao waited for a while outside the Yangxin Palace. After a while, Shen Qiu came slowly leading the carriage.

Shen Qiu has a cool and elegant temperament and is extremely charming.

She came in front of Ye Chen and saluted respectfully.

Ye Chen said: "Qiu'er."

"The minister is here."

Shen Qiu clasped his fists and agreed.

"Follow me out of the palace!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, walked onto the carriage and said.

"promise!"
