The team has to go out of the capital for about five miles all the way, there will be a large number of soldiers and horses guarding the Imperial Forest Army along the way, and every mile will be crossed, there will be a patrol station, outside the capital, extending about ten miles from the Temple of Heaven, no one is allowed to approach. Eight? 1 Chinese Net = ≈≤.≥8≥

Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate and Xuanwu Gate of the south gate of the capital are also closed, all the people want to go out of the city, and they all have to go through other city gates, and this day the imperial court held a ceremony to seal the Zen, the city gate of the capital will only be open sooner or later than half an hour, the people can only take advantage of this time to enter and exit the city gate, as for other periods, only Chaoyang Gate will open the small gate, and the news of entering and leaving the capital must also go to Chaoyang Gate.

Ji Ning didn't feel much glory in the team, because there were indeed too many people present.

For the Jinshi present, they just participated with them, and they could participate in the Fengzen ceremony in the year of the Jinshi in the examination, and there should be no chance to come again in the next few years, until they can mix with the Beijing officials of the four grades, they can attend again, and this must not be the official on duty that day, otherwise there will be no chance to come.

The conditions for participating in a Zen Sealing Ceremony are very harsh, and all the Jinshi present cherish it, only Ji Ning didn't take this Zen Sealing Ceremony too seriously, because he knew that the ceremony itself was not the focus of today, but a very likely rebellion that would occur that day.

……

……

It wasn't until almost noon that the procession dragged out of the Temple of Heaven, and at this time the camps around the Temple of Heaven had already been set up, including the emperor's temporary residence, as well as the tents prepared for those who attended the ceremony.

When he arrived at the place, Ji Ning glanced up, and could see the terrace of the Temple of Heaven from a distance, and on the Temple of Heaven, there were many sacrificial personnel, among these sacrificial personnel, there were also sent by the Confucian Temple, and there were also sent by the imperial court, these people were basically subordinate officials in charge of sacrificial rituals, including Jinshi in previous years, and there were many eunuchs among them, who were sent by the inner prison in the palace.

On the altar, everything that should be prepared was ready, and there were four or five hundred people present to attend the ceremony, plus the guards and sacrificial personnel stationed there, and the number was more than three thousand.

The Temple of Heaven is not very big in the first place, so many people gather here, it will also seem very congested, Ji Ning's location, surrounded by Jinshi and civil officials and military generals, raise his head and can see the terrace of the worship sky, this seems to be enough, because among all of them, for the time being, it only belongs to one participant, it belongs to the person who is present to watch the ceremony, and there is no ceremony that he needs to attend.

Emperor Zhao Kangzheng boarded the altar, and beside Zhao Kangzheng, it was Zhao Yuangeng, the crown prince of the dynasty, at this time Zhao Yuangeng showed a wine-colored country complexion, looking listless, and his father Zhao Kangzheng next to him was not much better.

The envoys of Fanbang also gradually began to come forward to meet them.

Although these foreign envoys were not allowed to follow Zhao Kangzheng together, they were in a very high position when they participated in the ceremony, which also had something to do with the fact that the Great Yong Dynasty always liked to worship themselves as coming from all over the world.

Among all the envoys of Fanbang, most of them were from the Western Regions and the Northern Regions, and many tribes on the grassland also sent envoys.

Suddenly, the eunuch who reported the news said in a loud voice: "...... Envoy of Cheshi Country, meet Your Majesty! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the attention of everyone present, because everyone present knew that the envoy of Cheshi Country was the princess of Cheshi Kingdom, and this princess was famous for her beauty, and at the same time, this princess also brought a very valuable gift, ready to be presented to the emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty at the Feng Chan ceremony.

Everyone present also wanted to know what this gift was.

Waiting for the princess of the Cheshi Kingdom, escorted by several maidservants, came in through the side door of the Temple of Heaven camp, everyone was looking, but seeing that this princess was wearing exotic clothes, even in March when the weather was cold, this woman was only a single dress covering her body, which looked very amorous.

Even the maid behind the princess of Cheshiguo looks charming and colorful.

Ji Ning was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the princess of Cheshiguo, he didn't see it very clearly, but he felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, it was when the princess of Cheshiguo entered the city that day, that glimpse, the princess of Cheshiguo also left a deep impression on him, at that time he felt that the princess of Cheshiguo had a lot of exotic customs, but when he saw the princess of Cheshiguo in front of him, this strong feeling in his heart disappeared.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "What's going on? Could it be that the princess of Cheshi Country has been replaced? ”

He couldn't figure out why seeing the princess of Cheshiguo twice would give him different feelings, the princess of Cheshiguo in front of him obviously lacked the temperament of the princess at the beginning, and she was obviously a pretender.

But Ji Ning felt that this matter didn't make sense, he recalculated, if someone pretended to be the princess of Cheshiguo, with the purpose of assassinating Zhao Kangzheng, there was basically no chance to start, and now Zhao Kangzheng was protected by many internal masters, and these internal masters could deal with those martial arts masters with ease, not to mention a fake princess of unknown origin?

In addition to the possibility of pretending to be the princess of Cheshi Guo to assassinate the emperor, Ji Ning can't think of any benefit of pretending to be the princess of Cheshi for the time being, everyone else is looking at how beautiful the princess is, and Ji Ning is thinking about who this princess is.

The people in the post house have seen the princess of Cheshiguo, and her appearance has not changed, so the people present do not have much suspicion, and they all think that this is the real princess.

The princess of Cheshiguo was holding a wooden box in her hand, which was somewhat similar to the appearance she had when she entered the city that day, and when the princess reached the altar, she saluted respectfully and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

This princess speaks Chinese very fluently, and it is also very similar to the characteristics of the princess of Cheshiguo in the previous legend, it is said that this princess of Cheshiguo yearns for the culture of the Central Plains, and even wants to marry a person from the Central Plains, and even she herself may become a gift and be given to Zhao Kangzheng.

"Excuse me!" After Zhao Kangzheng saw Princess Che Shiguo, his eyes were straight, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with this princess.

Even Ji Ning could feel that this princess of Cheshi Country should not be able to run away, and she would inevitably be admitted to the palace by Zhao Kangzheng.

Zhao Kangzheng didn't ask about the gift on the spot, and there were envoys from other countries in the follow-up, and envoys from more than a dozen countries came in in 6 times, and soon, the people who were present to participate in the ceremony had already arrived, and the horn sounded, which was a signal that the preparations had been completed, which meant that the ceremony could start at any time.

Suddenly, Zhao Kangzheng raised his hand, and the sound of the horns around him also stopped, and then someone beat a very rhythmic drum.

This drum beat is also the signal for the beginning of the Zen ceremony.
