Towards the end of the camp, there were already quite a few bonfires lit up in the camp outside the Temple of Heaven.

In order to ensure the brightness of the camp, a lot of torches will be raised around, and the soldiers will surround the camp outside the Temple of Heaven on the inner and outer three floors to ensure that no one will be unfavorable to the emperor.

But this is actually just to guard against assassins, it is difficult to guard against a large number of soldiers and horses, Ji Ning pondered for a moment, if more than a thousand cavalry come over at any cost, it will be difficult to resist with the guards around the Temple of Heaven. Zhao Kangzheng has actually put himself in danger from the beginning.

Ji Ning's judgment is that this rebellion should not start with the killing of external soldiers and horses, but with internal assassination.

In addition to the fact that the elixir given to Zhao Kangzheng may be poisonous, there may also be assassins who will do it at the banquet, and at that time, the crown prince and Princess Wenren may become the target of King Hui and Uncle Li's party, but it depends on which side King Chong is on, if King Chong is on the emperor's side, or if he stands by and watches, then Zhao Kangzheng still has a chance to return to the capital.

"Being the most trusted woman around you, and a vassal king like King Hui who has a heavy army in his hands, you yourself are still ignorant of it, this is really a failure to be an emperor!"

Ji Ning thought about things and followed Tang Xie and Han Yu and the others towards the open space where the ceremony was held.

All the jinshi have to wait first, and wait until the princes and nobles and dignitaries present have entered, and the jinshi headed by Ji Ning can enter, and the position of Ji Ning and others will also be very backward, not only far away from the emperor, but also many people in front of them to block, and even the performance of the Rite and Music Division present may not be clear.

……

……

In the emperor's absence, Zhao Kangzheng was still having dinner at this time.

Before participating in the banquet, Zhao Kangzheng likes to eat something first to ensure that his stomach is bottomed, so that he will not get drunk soon.

Zhao Kangzheng still had a lot of entertainment programs that night, and what Zhao Kangzheng was looking forward to the most was the princess of Cheshi Kingdom, he was ready to bring the princess of Cheshi Kingdom to Lin Xing that night, which is also the meaning of the king of Cheshi Kingdom, to give the princess of Cheshi Kingdom and treasures to the emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty, as a condition for winning the Great Yong Dynasty to send troops to assist the Cheshi Kingdom to resist the Western Regions powers.

“…… Your Majesty, this is the elixir you need, and it has already been refined! Just when Zhao Kangzheng was eating, Li Guifei, who was dressed in men's clothes, appeared in front of Zhao Kangzheng with a wooden box.

Zhao Kangzheng did have been a diligent and self-denying emperor before, but that was when Empress Xiaohui was alive, and now after Empress Xiaohui died of illness, he began to become absurd, even if according to the ancestral system Li Guifei could not participate in this ceremony, but Zhao Kangzheng still found a way to let Li Guifei serve in front of the crown in the clothes of a guard.

"Aifei, come over and let me see!"

Zhao Kangzheng also hadn't been lucky with Concubine Li for a few days, and when he saw Concubine Li Guifei in armor and with a little masculinity in front of him, his face showed a look of joy.

At this time, Zhao Kangzheng's face was slightly rosy, which was a manifestation of his physical weakness after a long period of indulgence, but he himself was still unknown.

"Your Majesty, this is an elixir, please take it!" Li Guifei put down the wooden box and opened it, and there were three pills inside.

Zhao Kangzheng smiled: "It's not night yet, don't worry, don't hurry......"

Li Guifei complained: "Your Majesty, now that you come out to attend the ceremony, the weather outside is humid, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and you should take care of your body." This elixir...... It's not you...... It's for your sisters, but for your health! ”

Zhao Kangzheng laughed and said, "Oh? Is it? Then give it to me, and wait for me to finish eating. ”

At this moment, Long Cheng hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Li Guo asks to see you!" ”

"Uncle Li? Guifei, did you ask him to come? Zhao Kangzheng frowned slightly, looked at Li Guifei and asked.

Concubine Li Guifei was a little nervous and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine didn't tell her brother about her companionship, the emperor, you have to trust the concubine!" ”

"Okay, you can step back first, let me see Uncle Guo later, and then I'll talk about it later. Aifei, I won't let you go tonight...... Ha ha! Zhao Kangzheng took Li Guifei in his arms and kissed him a little before letting Li Guifei leave through the back door.

When Concubine Li Guifei came out of the camp, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said secretly: "Emperor Dog, you have occupied me for so many years, and you have finally waited for the day when you will be crowned." Those elixirs, as long as you drink alcohol, will definitely make you poison to death, depending on how you died at the wine banquet! My brother is also a good plan, I am afraid that someone will go in and report to you, he will personally supervise him, with him, I can rest assured. ”

……

……

After a short time, all the seats in the open space had been placed, and all the jinshi began to take their seats according to their results in the temple examination.

As the champion, Ji Ning's position is still relatively close to the emperor, but there is still a row of people in front of him, and these people are almost civil officials of the third or fourth rank in the court.

And he was about thirty or forty meters away from the position of Emperor Luan, and there were about seven or eight hundred seats in the entire open space, and Jinshi was the largest camp among them.

Each seat is one seat for two people, and the person who is sitting at the same table with Ji Ning is Gu Yuming, the leader of this palace examination.

After Gu Yuming was beaten and insulted, his spirit has not been very good, Gu Yuming himself is also arrogant, he was originally a student in Jiangbei, and he looked down on Jiangnan candidates like Ji Ning.

After everyone was seated, the emperor was left without appearing.

The people present were still very lively, all talking to themselves, while Ji Ning was sitting there, waiting for the people from Honglu Temple to put wine, tableware and other things on the seats.

Because there were so many people attending the banquet that day, it was impossible to use hot food, so it would be nice to be able to serve a few dishes, the first thing that came up was melon and fruit snacks, and then a few appetizers like cold dishes, including a plate of beef.

In this era, because cattle are an important production tool, the government is not allowed to kill cattle at will, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat beef, which is already a very good dish.

After that, there will be some dishes, Ji Ning guessed, basically it will be some barbecue, at most a few large pots will be used to cook soup, and the soup is the only hot dish present, and the rest of the people, maybe only the emperor and the prince and nobles can enjoy the hot dishes and hot meals.

Soon, the drinks were also on the table, all of which were decades old, not ordinary folk drinks.

When Ji Ning was thinking about things, the emperor finally came, although the bonfire was bright, but still couldn't see the emperor's appearance clearly, everyone got up to greet each other, Ji Ning stood up, but heard Zhao Kangzheng say: "Today is a banquet for all my ministers, no need to be formal, I and you are happy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After a brief salute, the people present took their respective positions.

The feast officially began.
