Chapter 682: The Drama (I)
Ji Ning was in front of the palace, which was completely prestigious.
When the matter ended for a period of time, and even when the Lile Division resumed the performance, the people present were basically talking about the song "The Charcoal Seller" before Ji Ning.
The realist Yuefu poems are almost blank in this time and space, although the rhetoric of this poem is not very gorgeous, and even the whole poem is telling a small story, without much literary background in it, but what it presents is a variety of situations in the market, which makes people unconsciously put themselves in their shoes.
The officials and jinshi who were present before were still indulging in the dance of the dancers of the Rite and Music Division, but at this time, they felt that it seemed more interesting to discuss Ji Ning's poem with each other.
It was also a topic brought up by Zhao Kangzheng, and then Ji Ning's refusal to allow the emperor to be an official in the court also became the core topic.
Others' evaluation of Ji Ning is basically that he is talented, but he seems to have no ambitions, and he only knows the suffering of the people but does not know the rise and fall of the prosperous era.
What did these people evaluate Ji Ning, only they knew, they thought they could figure out Ji Ning's thoughts, but they didn't know that they were just arrogant in Yelang from the beginning, and Ji Ning's ambition was not something they could guess.
The feast is still ongoing, but the atmosphere around it has begun to kill a bit.
Perhaps it was the agreed time, Uncle Li and King Hui seemed to be impatient to solve the problem in front of them, these two jackals, at this time, had already made all the preparations before the rebellion, including the guards they had bribed, had completed the siege around the Temple of Heaven.
It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and now even if he comes out and kills Zhao Kangzheng in a grand manner, there is no problem.
But this will, Zhao Kangzheng doesn't seem to notice anything, and he has no signs of poisoning, the reason why King Hui, Uncle Li Guo and others have not done anything is precisely because Zhao Kangzheng has not yet been poisoned, they don't want to be the murderer in front of everyone present, even if they want to be traitors, they don't want the people present to see it, especially the people in the Temple of Literature present.
Ji Ning looked at the sky, about time, it would be almost the second watch.
He is one of the few people present who have insight into the opportunity, he looks at the surrounding situation, he knows how things are developing, he himself did not intend to shine in the crowd before, as for Zhang Junming's recommendation, as well as the emperor's appreciation of his poetry, although he expected, but it was not deliberately asked for by him.
While the Rite Priest was still performing, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from behind the barrier behind the emperor's high platform.
The black shadow seemed to be able to evade the guards around it, but the black shadow was not a tall and mighty assassin, but seemed to be a woman in the palace.
But seeing that the black shadow waved his hand slightly, Long Cheng, who was standing under the high platform, hurried over, but before Long Cheng came back, the performance had already ended, Zhao Kangzheng stood up and said with a smile: "Ministers, I have drunk a little too much today, and my head is a little dizzy, I want to go back and rest first!" ”
Saying that, Zhao Kangzheng seemed to be a little staggered and unstable.
The crown prince stood up and said, "Father, you might as well have your sons help you back!" ”
"No need!" Zhao Kangzheng didn't seem to have much affection for the crown prince Zhao Yuangeng, and even had a sense of indifference and indifference, "I can go back by myself, Gonggong Long...... Where are the people? ”
Long Cheng hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is here!" ”
"Gonggong Long, the banquet here will be handed over to you to preside over for the time being, I am here, it may also affect the Yaxing of your ministers, I will go back and rest first. You can also do your own thing! After Zhao Kangzheng finished speaking, he was ready to get off the high platform, but the whole person still staggered and walked unsteadily.
The Emperor was about to leave, and everyone present stood up to send him off.
But Uncle Li and King Hui and others obviously didn't want the emperor to leave the banquet.
Uncle Li Guo came out of his seat, went to the venue, and said, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, you should sit down and rest, and wait until your body is better before leaving!" ”
"No need, I'm really a little sleepy, maybe I'm drinking a little more today, I'm too old to drink!" Zhao Kangzheng said.
Uncle Li Guo glanced at the five princes and said, "Then you might as well let the five princes send Your Majesty back......"
Before Zhao Kangzheng could express his position, the crown prince Zhao Yuangeng said coldly: "Li Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" The father and the emperor don't need the prince to help each other, but you let the fifth brother help each other, do you think that the father and the emperor are more important to the fifth brother than the prince? ”
Zhao Yuangeng has always been known for his peace, which is also the reason why Zhao Kangzheng established Zhao Yuangeng after abolishing the former prince.
In recent years, Zhao Yuangeng has been even more addicted to pleasure, as if he is ready to be an emperor of wine and meat.
Zhao Kangzheng said angrily: "Prince, what are you talking about? Is that what Uncle Guo meant? ”
"Yes, Prince, why did you suddenly say that?" Uncle Li Guo seemed to grab Zhao Yuangeng's pigtails, and while the emperor's poisoning had not yet completely attacked, he sneered, "This official just thinks that since Your Majesty is unwell, this banquet always needs someone to preside, and the crown prince is the most suitable as the prince, and Your Majesty needs someone to help him, so it is most suitable for the five princes to go......"
Zhao Yuangeng sneered: "Didn't Li Shangshu think about it, in fact, he wanted the five princes to go in, what kind of plan did he have?" ”
"Bastard!" Zhao Kangzheng said, "Prince, if you make another time here, don't say that I will punish you!" ”
Zhao Yuangeng sat down directly in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs present, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the emperor and Uncle Li, Zhao Kangzheng said coldly: "I want to canonize the five princes as kings today, but there are some things, it's better to wait and see first." Emperor, you help me in and rest! ”
Zhao Kangzheng was originally in a hurry to go in to meet the beauties, there were not only the princesses of Cheshiguo, but also Li Guifei and the two favorite concubines he brought out, he could be said to have a lot of programs that night, which happened to be carried out in the line, which was more interesting than being in the palace.
He himself never thought that pretending to be drunk would pretend to be such a result, but let the prince and Uncle Li quarrel first.
Zhao Kangzheng was very interested in the fifth prince Zhao Yuancheng at this time, and because Zhao Yuancheng was the only son of Concubine Li Guifei, he even thought about abolishing Zhao Yuangeng's crown prince, but he thought that he had abolished a son's crown prince before, and now if he did it again, it might make the court situation chaotic, and now Zhao Yuangeng is not at fault, so this matter has been shelved by him.
But now, the prince seems to be dissatisfied with his special favor to Zhao Yuancheng, and actually came out to confront Uncle Li Guo, and Zhao Kangzheng seems to have found a reason to abolish the prince.
But he still wouldn't have a seizure on such an occasion.
Zhao Kangzheng, with the help of the fifth prince Zhao Yuancheng, walked towards the back of the barrier, and before he could take a few steps, he suddenly became unstable under his feet and almost fell: "I ...... What's going on with me? ”
Zhao Yuangeng said coldly: "Father, you should have drunk too much, you might as well come back first, and it's not too late to come back after resting!" ”
