After Ji Ning and the others waited outside the palace for a short time, the civil and military officials basically arrived.

In addition to the Twelve Guards General, as well as some officials of the Yamen of the Ministry of the Day, the rest of the ministers are going to participate in this Zen ceremony, and even the Confucian Temple has sent people, and Ma Heng, the bachelor that Ji Ning has seen before, will personally bring the main personnel of the Confucian Temple in the capital, and there are about 20 people to participate in this holy ceremony.

Those who participate in this ceremony should join the team in different places.

The civil and military officials and the new branch of the Jinshi should wait at the palace gate, which means that the civil and military generals and the Jinshi are the people of the court, and when the emperor comes out to the palace gate, the civil and military officials and the Jinshi will go out of the city together under the escort of about 1,000 palace guards.

The people in the Confucian Temple, the vassal kings, the princes, and the local officials in Beijing had to wait at the gate of the south gate of the capital, which means that these people were the people who guarded the rivers and mountains outside the Great Yong Dynasty and preached Confucian teachings, or the emperor's ministers who were canonized outside, or the people of the Confucian Temple, and they waited for the emperor's Luan to drive to the palace gate, and then they would march with the procession and go to the Temple of Heaven about five miles south of the capital.

As for the envoys of Fanbang, they had to wait outside the Temple of Heaven.

It means that if you want to worship our altar of worship, you should come to the Temple of Heaven first, and you can't walk with our emperor, and your people from Fanbang can't enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers and civilians of our Dayong Dynasty even if you are a subsidiary of our Central Plains Dynasty.

As the champion of the new department, Ji Ning's position is at the forefront of all the new science and technology scholars.

In front of him, there are all the Beijing officials above the fourth grade, according to the status, the officials and generals who are from the fourth rank and below in the capital are not eligible to participate in this Zen ceremony.

As for the generals, even if they are generals, they must be behind the scholars, which also reflects the governing ideas of the Dayong Dynasty, no matter how high the status of your generals is, you still have to be in the back of all the new science and technology scholars who have no official and no quality, and the generals want to go forward, so they can wait for the title of knight, so that they can wait outside the south gate of the capital, which is also a kind of glory. And those who have not been mixed with the official positions above the fourth rank are not eligible to participate in the Zen Ceremony.

……

……

The Emperor did not appear until after the hour.

The Jinshi and civil and military officials present had been waiting for half an hour.

The emperor's Luan drove to come, and the civil officials present did not need to kneel down, because the civil officials present were all from Jinshi, according to the literary name of the Dayong Dynasty, the literary name above the Jinshi could see the emperor without kneeling, and only needed to bow his hand to show respect, as for the military generals, they needed to kneel on one knee.

At this time, Zhao Kangzheng was sitting on top of Luanjia, and the person who was riding a horse beside him to escort Luan was the crown prince of the dynasty.

And after Luan, there are all the adult princes, princesses and concubines who have been enshrined in the capital, or have not yet been enshrined, in the Dayong Dynasty, men are sixteen years old, and women are fifteen years old, and all princesses and princes who are below this standard are not eligible to participate in this ceremony.

Among all the princes and princesses who participated in the ceremony, Ji Ning saw the four figures of the crown prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and Princess Wenren, in addition, there were Princess Pingwan Zhao Yuanzhan and the concubine Liu Ting.

Princess Pingwan Zhao Yuanzhan is not the descendant of Empress Xiaohui, but Zhao Kangzheng was born in his palace with the partial concubine in the palace, Princess Pingwan is the eldest princess of the Dayong Dynasty, she is Zhao Yuanrong's sister, and she has been married a few years ago, because she is not a descendant, and her mother died a few years earlier than Empress Xiaohui, so that Princess Pingwan does not have much power in the court, and the concubine Liu Ting married is the son of the meritorious military general Liu Heshan, but it is not the eldest son of Liu Heshan.

And Liu Heshan, who was once one of the generals of the Twelve Guards, died three years ago, and even the position of the general of the Twelve Guards was handed over to others, and was not passed on to his heirs.

Liu Ting is a person who has no ability in the court and has no status in the Liu family, but Zhao Yuanzhan himself is very strong, Zhao Yuanzhan has always hoped that he can help his husband obtain the title of General of the Twelve Guards, and now the emperor has not been gracious.

Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanzhan and his wife did not know each other, before Zhao Yuanzhan and his wife also arrived in the capital in mid-March, they have been living in the princess's mansion in the capital, and have not seen guests publicly, Zhao Yuanrong was thinking about the candidates who could quell King Hui's rebellion, and even Zhao Yuanzhan and his wife were not classified as people who could help her.

As for the fourth prince Zhao Yuanyang, he is from the same mother as Princess Pingwan Zhao Yuanyang, and he has no status in the court, and Zhao Yuanyang has not been in good health in recent years, Ji Ning can see Zhao Yuanyang coughing from afar.

After the emperor and the emperor's direct heirs, the prince and princess, passed, Ji Ning and others followed together.

In this kind of ceremony, the queen was originally to attend, but now that Empress Xiaohui has died of illness, the position of queen of the Great Yong Dynasty is still vacant, even if Li Guifei has crowned the six palaces in the court, but she is still not qualified to accompany the emperor to attend the Feng Chan ceremony.

From the main gate of the palace to the main gate of the capital, the distance was not very far, Ji Ning followed the team, and after walking a short distance, he had already reached the main gate.

At this time, the security of the capital was still very perfect, and Ji Ning couldn't see the slightest loophole.

At the gate of the main gate of the capital, King Hui, King Chong, Ma Heng and others came to salute first, followed by them, there were people in the Temple of Literature, and there were also royal relatives of their respective palaces, Zhao Yuanrong, Zhao Yuanqi and others were also among them, followed by the people with the third-class title of Duke and Uncle, although these people can attend, but they can not bring their families, but they can only take their sons to attend.

After that, there are local officials who report to the capital, and these people can also be regarded as feudal ministers, but in terms of status, they cannot be compared with princes, so they must be listed last.

As soon as these people come, civil and military officials have to give up certain positions.

The people in the Temple of Literature are on a par with the emperor, they are only a little further back than the emperor's luan, and even higher than the position of the prince and princess; Naturally, princes should be in front, second only to the emperor and princes, princesses, and concubines; As for the local civil officials, they should be listed after the civil officials in the capital and before the new scholars; As for the new science and technology warriors and generals, they are still listed at the end of the team.

Ji Ning was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, after all, he had no intention of fighting for anything in the court, and it didn't make much sense as to where it was listed.

However, Ji Ning was in the ranks of the nobles, and met the grandson of the Duke of Qin, who was also Qin Mao, who was also the Duke of Qin, and Ji Ning had seen this person in Tianxianglou before.

Although Qin Mao does not have much status now, he is the successor of the future general of the Twelve Guards, and when he becomes an adult, he will inevitably have one of the Twelve Guards and horses under his control.
