Ji Ning was lying in the carriage, letting Li Lu catch the carriage, while he himself went out of the city with a relaxed attitude.

No matter what political struggles he had, no matter what storms he had, these things seemed to be insignificant to him, and he didn't even want to pay more attention to them, he just wanted to sleep well and wake up and think about the enthronement ceremony.

For this group of people in the Confucian Temple, the emperor's enthronement ceremony is just a formality, after all, the Confucian Temple system is completely different from the imperial court system, and no one will care who will be the emperor, as for the fourth prince or the fifth prince to be the emperor, or Zhao Yuanrong to be the emperor, there is no big difference with the Confucian Temple.

The Temple of Literature is not responsible for the legitimacy of the emperor, to be precise, whether the emperor is obtained by orthodox inheritance or by improper means, as long as you become the emperor, the Temple of Literature will recognize you, but as for how the Temple of Literature is recorded in the history books, it is the matter of the Temple of Literature.

Don't think about getting along with the Temple of Literature, no emperor dares to offend the scholars easily, this is not an era when burning books and pit Confucianism can solve disputes between the court and the Temple of Literature, there will be many hermits in the Temple of Literature, and there are many masters who are proficient in poetry and articles and even can communicate with heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, these people can ensure the longevity of the Temple of Literature.

Ji Ning was jolting in the carriage, and the convoy arrived at the Taimiao Temple first, which was still some distance away from the Temple of Heaven, and everyone had to come down and prepare.

The first step of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony should be held in the Taimiao, which was originally supposed to be built in the palace, but because the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty was taboo, so many things had to be done by abnormal means, so Ji Ning also knew one thing, that is, everything that the previous dynasty would do, when it came to the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty, it would basically not be done, especially in religion and sacrifice.

"Come down, line up first, and tell me what I should do when I get in......"

Ma Heng is the person in charge of the Confucian Temple in the capital, and he is also led by him in the action of the Confucian Temple this time, everyone just listens to Ma Heng's orders, before Ji Ning didn't quite understand what Ma Heng did, and now it seems that Ma Heng is not very willing to take care of things, but is willing to be a nanny-like character, and even many chores are done by Ma Heng.

Ji Ning followed the crowd and entered the Taimiao together, at this time the court had already sent many people to come, but the main personnel of the court had not yet arrived, including the new emperor, princes and nobles, and civil and military ministers, who were still on the way to come at this time.

Ji Ningli waited there for a long time, but he didn't see anyone from the court coming, Ma Heng came over and said: "I just got the news, saying that Your Majesty will come over later, you can rest in the apse of the Taimiao Temple first, and after the people come, you will gather together, and you don't have to take care of the affairs here." ”

Although it seemed that there was nothing wrong, Ji Ning vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, because the people in the court should not delay at such a time.

"Could it be that what has happened in the capital, even the scholar of Ma University has heard about it, and he doesn't want to tell us about it, and is ready to wait and see what happens?" Ji Ning was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know the situation in the capital at this time, judging from his observation when he left the capital before, the capital was generally calm, and he didn't notice anything wrong.

……

……

At this time, in the capital, Zhao Yuanrong's team behind the palace was attacked by assassins.

Zhao Yuanrong himself didn't expect that someone would dare to assassinate her in broad daylight, these black-clothed people took advantage of the people to come out to watch the ceremony, because the route of the new emperor was determined that day, and many people came out to watch the new emperor's Luan, although Zhao Yuanrong was very well prepared in this regard, but unfortunately there were too many people and many people, so that many assassins mixed in the crowd, and when they rushed out, Zhao Yuanrong himself was also taken aback.

"Ah......" There was chaos on the street, Zhao Yuanrong didn't know what to say at all, she just stood on top of Luan, watching the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army below fighting those assassins, her martial arts were not high, so she didn't want to go down and take risks.

At this time, there were still a large number of guards of the Royal Forest Army to protect Luanjia, and from time to time there would be bows or hidden weapons shooting over, which did not pose a threat to Zhao Yuanrong's life.

It took a long time for the Assassins to be completely driven back, but they were not completely killed, because there were so many men in black, and some of the Assassins were dressed in plain clothes and mixed in the crowd, not knowing who was good and who was bad.

After a struggle, it was only known that the assassin on the surface had withdrawn, but no one dared to guarantee that no one would assassinate him in the next step.

"Your Majesty, the assassins have been killed, please show me." A captain of the guard came over and saluted.

Zhao Yuanrong's face was very ugly, and at this time, Zhang Junming had already walked over with several generals, Zhao Yuanrong looked at Zhang Junming and said: "Zhang Zuoxiang, what is going on, didn't you say that there were no people watching the ceremony today, who let the people come out?" ”

Zhang Junming looked very helpless and said: "In order to increase the grandeur of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the Ministry of Rites inadvertently leaked the news, which made the people come when they heard the news." ”

"In my opinion, someone deliberately leaked the news to the people, so that the people knew the route I went to the outside of the city, and now someone is assassinating me on the road, which has caused a certain deviation in the enthronement ceremony, and this enthronement ceremony will become a laughing stock of the world regardless of success or failure!" Zhao Yuanrong said very angrily.

Zhang Junming didn't speak again after saluting, because Zhang Junming knew that the emperor was angry now, and it would be futile to say anything.

"Now the plan can't be changed, since the departure from the city has been delayed, the time to stay in the Taimiao is shortened, and after worshipping the Taimiao, I will go to the Temple of Heaven immediately, I don't want to have too much impact on the enthronement ceremony because of this incident!" Zhao Yuanrong said.

Zhang Junming asked again: "Your Majesty, the assassin ......"

"The Assassins continue to hunt down, is it because of one or two Assassins that the plan is not going well? Zhang Zuoxiang, I have always felt that you are a capable person, don't let me down. ”

After Zhao Yuanrong finished speaking, he was also looking at Zhang Junming, as if he wanted to know whether Zhang Junming was involved in this assassination incident.

Zhao Yuanrong, who is in a high position, has deeply felt the feeling of being surrounded by enemies, everyone around her may betray her, and even everyone may become a traitor from her most loyal subordinates, she seems to understand why her father is so suspicious in his old age, and she doesn't know how to get rid of the suspicion of the people around her.

Zhang Junming said: "The old minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" ”
