On the way back to the capital, Ji Ning found that the security in the capital had been strengthened.

After the twelve guards and horses took over the defense, the city gate was not open to ordinary people except for the royal driver and the hundred officials, and many people did not know what was going on.

As for where the rebels outside the city were, Ji Ning didn't know, but depending on the situation, the rebels mobilized by King Hui and Uncle Li outside the city should have been blocked before they reached the capital, otherwise Zhao Kangzheng would not have the courage to stay outside the city.

There is also a possibility for Zhao Kangzheng to stay outside the city, that is, Zhao Kangzheng is afraid of death, and no one knows whether there are rebellious ministers and thieves in the city, and Zhao Kangzheng stays outside the city, and he is most likely to avoid being killed.

Ji Ning couldn't understand the thoughts of a stupid emperor who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he didn't speculate too much about what Zhao Kangzheng would be thinking, but he knew that Zhao Kangzheng must be with the princess of Cheshiguo and Zhao Yuanying now, this stupid emperor, and the women around him are also coveting his throne.

Princess Cheshiguo is the crown prince's person, Li Guifei wants to seek the position of prince for her son, and Zhao Yuanying is the daughter of the traitor King Hui......

"Since you are mediocre, you should have thought of being unpopular a long time ago, and now you can still maintain the authority of the emperor, but after your throne is lost, see how you can turn the tide? But I don't know if the person who will rebel next will be the prince or the king? ”

Ji Ning had already guessed that King Chong and the crown prince would already be ready to move.

Zhao Kangzheng was completely unaware of the danger around him, if it wasn't for his plan first, let Zhao Yuanrong help move around and paralyze King Chong, and finally the crown prince and King Chong joined forces, Zhao Kangzheng would probably have died under that ordinary glass of wine.

When the crown prince and King Chong realized that the emperor was nothing more than this, they would not let go of a good opportunity to rebel, but the next step would inevitably be an infighting between the forces on both sides of the prince and King Chong.

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me for the time being, after all, Princess Wenren's side has no strength to compete with the crown prince and King Chong at all!" Thinking of this, Ji Ning felt a little annoyed in his heart, the person he helped was precisely Zhao Yuanrong, who was the weakest in this power struggle, and Zhao Yuanrong still had some shortcomings in his character.

The biggest drawback in Zhao Yuanrong's personality comes from her honesty and rigidity, in Ji Ning's view, to achieve the great cause of the emperor, you can talk about certain principles, but you must be decisive on key issues, and family, friendship and love can even be taken out as sacrifices.

Of course, Ji Ning didn't want to be one of the victims.

……

……

After returning to the capital, the Jinshi first had to go to the Ministry of Rites to resume their lives.

After all the rituals were completed, the next step was to wait for the examinations of the Gilis and the Bachelor.

Like Ji Ning, who is listed in the scope of Dingjia, he can go home with peace of mind and wait to go to the Temple of Literature on an errand.

Ji Ning wants to enter the Temple of Literature, he said it in front of the emperor, and now almost everyone knows that the top student in this year's palace examination chose to enter the Temple of Literature, even if some people are a little disdainful of Ji Ning's choice, they also have to be envious, because Ji Ning does not need to take the examination of the apprenticeship, he can directly enter the Temple of Literature.

After the Ministry of Rites completed the reinstatement, all the jinshi were disbanded on the spot.

Those who are preparing to take the Hallym Academy exam will each be given a booklet similar to the exam compendium, informing them of what they need to take for the Hallym Academy exam and what preparations they need to make a few days before the exam.

"It's too fast, I have to take the written exam of the Hanlin Academy on March 26, there are too many things to test, all of them are related to writing, this doesn't seem to be an article to determine whether you win or lose!" After Tang Xie read the compendium, he looked a little annoyed.

The people in the Hanlin Academy, what they do is not to deal with government affairs, but to help the emperor write edicts and edicts, etc., although the new science and technology Jinshi into the Hanlin Academy is only a Shu Jishi, and the Shu Ji Shi is not qualified to directly contact these substantive work, many times is to help the Hanlin Academy sort out the copywriting, but in the content of the exam, the focus is no longer on the articles of the Four Books and Five Classics, but the originally inconspicuous township examination, the second exam content of the Hui Examination.

Responsible for writing official documents and edicts, and writing them in the name of the emperor, these things need to be prepared in advance.

Ji Ning asked, "Didn't Brother Ziqian watch more in advance?" ”

Tang Xie was a little embarrassed and said: "After being admitted to the Jinshi, it is almost a night and night, who still has the time to watch these things?" Even if you occasionally pick up a book, reading a book is a headache! ”

Ji Ning smiled dumbly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Brother Ziqian said this, it seems that he can't complain about others!" ”

Tang Xie laughed, he didn't mind very much, because he knew that it was actually very difficult to get into the Hanlin Shujishi, two hundred and ninety-eight new science and technology scholars, almost less than twenty or thirty crane-tail jinshi would not apply for the Hanlin Academy's examination, as for the others, there was still some hope of admission.

Ji Ning didn't need to think about Kao Hanlin's problem, he just packed up his mood and went home.

In order to avoid being approached by the people of King Hui's Mansion and Chongwang's Mansion, he deliberately took a long detour, walking in the direction of his house from the direction near the city wall, and looked carefully on the way, and only returned home after getting rid of a few people who were following him.

"Young Master, are you back?" Yu Ling looked very happy when she saw Ji Ning, because Ji Ning had now begun to prepare to buy a house, and they were about to move again.

At first, she was a little reluctant with Lin Juan'er, after all, it was very troublesome to move around.

But now that I think about it, I am still very happy to have a new house to live in, and Ji Ning also said that the new place will be very spacious, and there will be more space for them to move freely.

Ji Ning said: "I'll just come back and leave, stay at home for about half an hour, Yuling, prepare some breakfast for me, and then ask Juan'er to boil some bath water for me, after I'm full, take a bath and leave!" ”

"Oh!" Yu Ling pouted, looking very unhappy, it was rare to see his young master, but Ji Ning was going to leave immediately after he came back.

……

……

After Ji Ning ate and drank enough, he simply took a bath, in order to avoid lack of time, he didn't even wash his hair, after all, even men's hair is very long in this era, and it is very troublesome to comb it, so it is better to ignore it directly.

When he packed up and went out, he didn't go far before he felt that someone was following him.

"Come out!" Ji Ning said.

But when she saw Nalan Blowing Snow flashing out of the alley, she was still curious: "How did you find out?" ”

Ji Ning wouldn't answer her such a boring question, and said, "What has you been asked to investigate in the past few days, how is the investigation going?" ”

"Don't you just stare at the Chongwang Mansion? What's so special? People in Chongwangfu, in and out of a lot, I don't know them, yesterday in the city suddenly strengthened the vigilance, I thought someone was going to rebel, but after dawn, the vigilance in the city was also relaxed! Nalan Blowing Snow said with his head propped up.
