The little fool also has to take the imperial examinations

Time flew by, and Yang Ye had been in the capital for almost a year.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, Qi Rui went into the palace to attend a banquet in the palace, and did not return until midnight.

Yang Ye tossed and turned, probably because the emperor was too fidgety and didn't leave the banquet so late.

In fact, Qi Rui's identity doesn't need to attend this dinner party, but the fourteenth prince pestered him to insist on attending. Thinking of that little kid, Yang Ye frowned again.

With the knock on the door, Yang Ye sat up immediately, Qi Rui must have returned in the middle of the night.When he reached the door, he stopped vigilantly and asked, "Who is it?"

The crisp voice seemed particularly cold in the silence of the night.

"it's me."

Yang Ye smiled, it was Qi Rui.When I opened the door, it was him.

"You come back..." The words stuck in his throat, he saw the fourteenth prince under Qi Rui's cloak.

Only then did Yang Ye take a closer look at Qi Rui, his expression was tense, and there was a dark red streak on his clothes, which looked like blood!

Yang Ye's heart skipped a beat, before he could ask, Qi Rui pulled him out, "We can't stay here anymore, let's leave immediately."

Yang Ye looked at the fourteenth prince Zhao Ji with a hasty face under the cloak, and his heart skipped a beat.Without wasting time, go to the back room and get some thicker clothes and leave.

The carriage waited in place, and they got into the carriage.

The surrounding atmosphere was very cold, Yang Ye wanted to ask many times, Qi Rui shook his head at him, and made a message, "I'll talk about it later."

Finally, when Zhao Ji fell asleep, Qi Rui said in a low voice: "The emperor has passed away, King Li has turned against him, and now he is competing with King Cheng for the throne."

In a few words, he got to the main point. He looked down at the Fourteenth Prince, who was soundly asleep, and continued: "The palace is very chaotic, and he was frightened."

Zhao Ji was just a child, who had never seen the battle tonight, and was immediately petrified.

At any rate, the two can be regarded as masters and apprentices. For such a long time, Zhao Ji is a child, no matter which party Shengli was once the most beloved by the emperor and wanted him to be the heir apparent, it might not be a good ending for him to stay.

So he took advantage of the confusion to bring people out.

It was too late, the city gate was still closed, and they didn't go out of the city. Now that the city is in such a mess, they don't know if the city gate will open tomorrow morning?

Fortunately, the few of them waited for a long time in a remote place, and the city gate finally opened.

I want to come to the palace and things have not been reported yet.

After leaving the palace, Yang Ye and the others arrived at a small ruined temple.

Several people got out of the carriage, Qi Rui said: "Someone will come to meet you in a few days."

Qi Rui didn't say who came to meet him, Yang Ye guessed that it should be related to Zhao Ji.

Several people stayed on the slope for several days——

Yang Ye heard the sound of "cracking" horseshoes, and when they went out, they saw a group of people leading the army not far away.

Yang Ye's eyebrows twitched, it was the chaos army who came here.

He didn't know the leader, but he met a eunuch next to him, who had been following Zhao Ji.

Friendly army, Yang Ye felt relieved.

"Your Highness!" The man got off his horse and strode forward.

"Uncle." Zhao Ji cried and threw himself into the arms of the man, who was Wu Yi, uncle of the Fourteenth Prince.

Wu Yi felt relieved when he saw that his nephew was fine except for being a little frightened.

The two had a conversation, Wu Yi looked up at Yang Ye and the two, and Qi Rui thanked him gratefully.

Qi Rui and Zhao Ji took advantage of the chaos to leave at the banquet, and the eunuch next to him said that he was looking for reinforcements from Zhao Ji's uncle, who was stationed outside the city.Several people split up and acted.

Wu Yi was afraid that the rebels would find out, so he couldn't stay longer, and was going to leave after picking up Zhao Ji, so he asked Qi Rui if they would go together.

The meaning outside the words is to ask them if they want to join the camp of the Fourteenth Prince.

Qi Rui glanced at Yang Ye and shook his head.

"Then we have to say goodbye again, thank you for your help, we will definitely repay you in the future!" Wu Yi didn't force it.

"Teacher." Zhao Ji trotted to Qi Rui's feet and hugged his legs, looked up at him with dark eyes, and said in an unusually obedient tone: "Teacher, where are you going? Won't you come with me?"

The palace change, the entire palace is like hell, it has long scared Zhao Ji out of courage, Qi Rui has always been by his side, and has created a strong sense of dependence.

"Your Highness already has an uncle, so there is no need to be afraid."

Zhao Ji glanced at Wu Yi, pouted, still a little reluctant, but...

He let go, not making willful demands like before.

Wu Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he still knew this nephew, he was capricious and loved to cry, whenever he didn't like what he wanted, he would cry, he thought he would cry when he asked Qi Rui to go with him and was rejected, but unexpectedly he let go.

After Zhao Ji followed Wu Yi, Yang Ye asked him if he wanted to go back and get something.There is still a lot of money at home.

Qi Rui thought about it: "Let's observe outside the city for a while before making a decision. If the situation is not right, we will leave immediately! Those belongings will also be discarded."

Yang Ye nodded. Although money is important, it is not as important as his own life.

The two observed outside the city for a long time, and found that the gate of the city was closed and could not easily enter or exit.The two immediately decided to go home first.

The waterway is impassable, and the two can only take the dry road.

Fortunately, they have a carriage.

Passing by nearby villages, they replenished some food and continued walking.

After walking for about half a month, the road was not smooth, and I encountered three or four waves of robbers, each carrying hoes and kitchen knives.

No suspense, very easy to solve.

After another month, the two finally arrived at the county town. Along the way, they also explored the situation in the capital. Ten days ago, they heard that King Li ascended the throne and killed King Cheng. In the end, Wuyi led troops to raise troops in the name of the Qing Dynasty. And took out the imperial decree of the first emperor to make Zhao Ji the crown prince.Many people who were still on the sidelines or took refuge in King Li turned their backs. After all, in ancient times, everyone followed the orthodoxy, and their teachers were famous.

When I heard about it, Zhao Ji had already been made emperor by Wu Yi.

In short, this country has finally ushered in a new emperor, the chaotic situation has been effectively controlled, and ordinary people still like to live a comfortable life.

The two returned to Xiaoqingshan, and Yang Ye's return caused quite a commotion. The people in Xiaoqingshan heard that Qi Rui was admitted as the number one scholar and was still working as an official in the capital. It was because he was afraid that Yang Ye would come out and watch.

Fuzi and the others were the most excited, with tears streaming down their noses, "Brother Ye, you are finally back, I thought you would enjoy the blessings in the capital and never come back again."

Yang Ye felt a little disgusted and stayed away from him, "A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as a dog's nest, of course it's better to be at home."

After returning home, Hua'er and Yin'er were busy making tea and cooking.

Yang Ye stopped the two of them, "Stop busy, Qi Rui and I brought food back from the county."

Yin'er was still young, so she clapped her hands happily.

Hua'er smiled: "If you don't cook, you need to boil some hot water."

Yang Ye thought that he had been away for the past few days, it seemed that he hadn't taken a shower, and he really needed hot water.

After eating, the water was boiled, and Yang Ye took a bath in the house.

Just as he sat in the water, the door opened and Qi Rui came in.

Yang Ye: "What are you doing here?"

Qi Rui showed the wooden barrel in his hand, which was still steaming: "The water gets cold quickly in winter, so I carried another barrel."

Hearing what he said, Yang Ye didn't kick him out.

When he looked up, he saw that the other party was also taking off his clothes. Yang Ye hurriedly said, "What are you taking off?!"

Qi Rui: "Take a shower."

Yang Ye: "You haven't finished washing yet."

Qi Rui nodded: "I'll wash with you to save water."
