Zhao Yuanrong relied on the method that Ji Ning taught her, and successfully aroused King Chong's suspicion, but because she didn't know whether King Chong was fooled, she was still worried when she went back to discuss with Ji Ning. Heaven "'Lai'." ⒉

Ji Ning didn't say that he would definitely succeed, in Ji Ning's opinion, as long as there was a chance to succeed in this matter, if King Chong could break away from the camp of King Hui and the Li brothers and sisters, it would be a great good thing for them, even if they couldn't get out, it would be nothing to lose, at least Zhao Yuanrong came over safely.

The coming day is a confrontation involving the orthodoxy of the royal family of the Dayong Dynasty, which is more like a silent confrontation, Zhao Yuanrong is extremely cautious about this, she is very careful in doing things, which is very different from Ji Ning's informal style of doing things.

Although Zhao Yuanrong was not in the mood that night, she was always a newlywed Yan'er with Ji Ning, and she was also intoxicated with this happiness of having someone to protect and help her.

The two of them loved each other for a night, and the next morning was very early, and the two of them had to get up and go back to prepare, and both of them needed to participate in the Zen Ceremony that day.

……

……

In the morning, Ji Ning put on his Jinshi uniform and waited in the yamen of the imperial court's rite department.

All the Jinshi gathered together again, these people were still a little sleepy-eyed, everyone seemed to be a little sleepy, and it was also these days that they celebrated a lot after taking the Jinshi exam, and they were also tired of coping, so that they were physically and mentally exhausted.

In the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the most popular person that day was not Ji Ning, but Gu Yuming.

Although Gu Yuming ranked fifth in the general examination, he was second only to Ji Ning in the ranking when he reached the high school list of the palace examination.

Originally, Ji Ning, the champion, was more beautiful, but unfortunately everyone present heard that Ji Ning, who was the champion, did not choose to enter the Hanlin Academy, which means that among all the Jinshi this year, the person with the highest ranking in the Hanlin Academy became Gu Yuming, plus the emperor would inspect the talents of all the Jinshi poetry and songs at the Fengzen Ceremony on the same day, which would make everyone remember again, it turned out that Gu Yuming had an excellent swing at the Beijing Poetry Meeting, and they all went to stammer Gu Yuming, wanting to make themselves familiar.

Tang Xie saw a group of people surrounding Gu Yuming, and said with some disdain: "It's really a hot and cold world, this group of people who tend to be inflammatory, they used to demean Gu Yuming fiercely, but now when they see Gu Yuming hit the list, they all stammered in the past, and they all seemed to have forgotten to argue that the poem was not from Gu Yuming!" ”

Han Yu said with a smile: "In the past, others didn't think that the poem was written by Gu Yuming, but now, no one has come out to admit that the poem was written by himself, who is in such a big limelight and can not come out and admit it?" In addition, Gu Yuming is now in high school, and now no one doubts whether the poems were written by Gu Yuming, and one by one tends to be inflammatory, it is fake, it depends on what kind of poems Gu Yuming wrote at this Zen Ceremony, it is true. If he can't write good poems at this ceremony, it will be a shame! ”

For others, they are still busy slapping Gu Yuming, but in the minds of Ji Ning and others, it doesn't matter how good or bad Gu Yuming is.

Tang Xie and Han Yu felt that Ji Ning had a better swing in the next Zen Sealing Ceremony.

Several people were talking and laughing, Xu Jiangming also came over to say hello, as the list of the current palace examination, Xu Jiangming also has a very high status among many jinshi, but Xu Jiangming seems to want to be friends with Ji Ning, but Tang Xie and Han Yu are not very friendly to Xu Jiangming, and Ji Ning has no prejudice against this arrogant scholar.

"Brother Yongning, I wonder what poems you have prepared for this Zen ceremony?" Xu Jiangming asked suddenly.

Ji Ning was curious: "Your Majesty hasn't come up with the question yet, what can you do to prepare for it?" ”

Xu Jiangming said: "Do you still need to prepare a special topic?" At that time, the question of His Majesty's first is to ask all candidates to make poems about the scene on the Feng Zen ceremony, which is actually related to the spring scenery, Brother Yongning has not been out of the city in the past two days, and he has gone around the Temple of Heaven to see? ”

Ji Ning thought to himself that he was patronizing to deal with the rebellion of King Hui and King Chong and others, and he didn't have time to go out of the city at all.

"I've been busy with things in the next few days, and I haven't left the city!" Ji Ning said frankly.

Xu Jiangming had a little disappointment on his face, and said: "Then it's no wonder, but with Brother Yongning's talent, you should be outstanding in writing poems on the spot, and then you just wait to appreciate your masterpiece!" ”

After speaking, Xu Jiangming went elsewhere first.

Tang Xie said disdainfully: "On the same day, he also said that he wanted to compare with Yongning what ranking, and he also took a sacrificial text as a bet, and now that the ranking is set, he has already lost, and this bet seems to be relied upon, and he didn't mention a word when he met......

Before he finished his words, Xu Jiangming suddenly turned back and said: "Brother Yongning, I lost a sacrificial text to you before, and I am still working on it, and I will almost finish it at the end of the month, and I will definitely send it to the house at that time, I don't know if I can tell you where your Excellency is now?" ”

Ji Ning said: "I am temporarily living in a friend's house, and when I move out, I will tell you!" ”

Xu Jiangming heard that Ji Ning refused to even tell him where he lived, and knew that Ji Ning was very protective of him, so he didn't say more.

……

……

Soon, Lin Zheng, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came and said to the people present: "All the Jinshi, today is the triennial Zen Ceremony, and it is also the first time for you to participate in the activities of the imperial court as a court official, not only Your Majesty will attend today, but also many civil and military ministers, as well as foreign envoys and vassal kings from all over the country, you don't talk nonsense at the Zen Ceremony, if you anger Long Yan, it is not something you can afford!" ”

This will come out alone, but it is Qin Feng, who did not achieve satisfactory results in this palace examination, Qin Feng smiled: "Lin Shilang can rest assured, we know the measure!" ”

It seems that Qin Feng has something to do with Lin Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Lin Zheng seems to appreciate Qin Feng very much.

The Ministry of Rites arranged for people to come and divide some basic utensils, mainly a small wooden plaque, which is a small token for entering and exiting the city, as well as entering and exiting the camp of the Zen Ceremony outside the city, these people will stay in the camp outside the city that night and will not return to the city, if there is no token, it will be difficult to move in the camp.

Tang Xie fumbled for the small token and said, "Don't let you out of the camp, what do you do for this thing?" ”

"The main thing is to prove your identity, if you don't have this thing, maybe someone else will be mixed in." Ji Ning said casually, he was still thinking about some of the movements of King Hui's rebellion that day, and he was trying to find out where he made mistakes and omissions.

As he was talking, several officials from the Honglu Temple came outside, and these people were ordered to summon many Jinshi to the gate of the palace to wait for the holy car.

"Let's go!" Someone greeted many Jinshi, because there were many people, and the Jinshi phalanx was more than the number of Wenchen and military generals who participated in the Fengzen ceremony, and there were many people sent by the court to coordinate, mainly because many Jinshi had no experience in participating in the court ceremony, and they were still "junior brothers" in this regard.
