Chapter 61

The palace issued invitations, and after a short and tense wait, they received replies one after another.

Except for the chief of the Second Department of Fans and Standards and Governor Tian Jingtong who were unable to come due to busy schedules, nearly [-]% of the invited officials expressed their intention to come.

Seventy percent of officials, this has exceeded Zhao Yanxun's estimate, and he will be thankful if it is fifty percent.

As for the pilgrimage ceremony, Zhou Chengping has been making preparations since he arrived at the palace, and all the necessary things have been prepared.

If Zhao Yanxun is happy, he can even hold it right away.

The time soon came to the first day of May, and the palace of Prince Yong was filled with solemnity.

Standing in front of the mirror, Zhao Yanxun was wearing a crown, while Lin Quan and Huo An were serving.

"Today's outfit is really cumbersome!" Zhao Yanxun had a helpless expression.

He is really in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed. There are countless people in the world who can't even maintain a basic life.

Perhaps when modern people travel through ancient times, they will always come to Versailles naturally, and it is normal for them not to eat minced meat.

After dressing, Zhao Yanxun walked slowly to the front hall accompanied by a group of maids and eunuchs.

The pilgrimage ceremony will be held in the Yong'an Hall in the front hall after a while.

The so-called pilgrimage ceremony is actually the officials of the royal family going to the main hall to pay homage to Zhao Yanxun.

However, Zhao Yanxun took the officials of the palace and went to the Fengci Temple together to offer sacrifices to the emperors of the Jin Dynasty.

Although there have been two rehearsals, but there are too many words to say in the middle, Zhao Yanxun still has to go through it briefly before the ceremony begins.

Arriving at the Yong'an Hall, all the officials of the palace had arrived at the moment, and they all saluted Zhao Yanxun's arrival.

Zhao Yanxun's crown dress was cumbersome, so he only raised his hand to excuse everyone, and then walked slowly into the hall accompanied by two long officials.

The main hall is very empty, the areas on both sides are reserved for Longyou officials, they will watch the ceremony here in a while.

Ascending to the throne, Zhao Yanxun sat on it, and then began to go through the process briefly.

But gradually, Zhao Yanxun realized that something was wrong, why didn't a single local official come.

Looking at the system time, it was already 10:[-] in the morning, only [-] minutes before the official start of the ceremony.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

Lin Quan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly said: "My lord, I will go out and have a look, servant girl!"

It stands to reason that these officials should have come one after another, but now none of them have arrived.

Vaguely, Zhao Yanxun had a bad premonition, these guys wouldn't let themselves go, would they?

"My lord, don't be impatient, maybe...they came together!" Guan Hetai laughed, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhao Yanxun didn't speak, and kept his eyes on the outside of the hall.

The sun was rising high, and the sounds of insects and birds could be heard from time to time, but the officials of the palace outside the main hall had no time to enjoy this leisure time.

Besides, Lin Quan walked out of the gate of the palace with a few young eunuchs, stood on the street and watched for a long time, but he didn't see a single official.

Lin Quan felt that something was wrong, pointed to the two young eunuchs and said, "You two, go to the other side and have a look!"

After the two young eunuchs left, Lin Quan continued to stare at the street in the distance, his heart becoming more and more anxious.

If these officials didn't come, Lin Quan couldn't imagine how angry the prince would be.

When the time comes, those who serve by their side will suffer!

At this moment in the palace, the auspicious time for the start of the pilgrimage is approaching the last moment.

Zhao Yanxun's face was ashen. At this moment, he was sure that those bastards played tricks on him.

Looking at Zhao Yanxun on the throne, Guan Hetai hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.

Bang bang bang... As the knocking sounded, it was time to start the worship service.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, Zhao Yanxun said, "What are you still doing? The ceremony has begun!"

"Your Highness..." Guan Hetai showed concern.

Seeing that Zhou Chengping also looked like this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help laughing, it seemed very strange to laugh at this time.

"Do you think that if these people don't come...we can't start this pilgrimage?"

But Zhao Yanxun took care of Mianxuan, and then said: "It's a pity that they don't come...but it's not a bad thing!"

"They are telling us that there is no possibility of cooperation with them, and we don't need to waste any more time!"

Having said that, if the officials don't come, it will still be a big loss to guard against zombies.

Zhao Yanxun said this more to convince himself and make himself not so embarrassed.

"Let's get started!" Zhao Yanxun said seriously, sitting on the throne.

"Yes..." After answering, Zhou Chengping turned around and shouted to the outside of the main hall: "The ceremony begins, enter the hall..."

The pilgrimage ceremony of Prince Yong's Mansion was carried out in an orderly manner in the absence of spectators.

On the other side, in the Governor's Yamen, a large number of officials gathered here, all of them in a daze.

They were going to Prince Yong's Mansion, but they were all stopped before arriving at the Prince's Mansion, and then they were invited to the Governor's Yamen.

Stayed here for more than half an hour, and even drank two cups of tea, but there was no explanation at all.

They all agreed to go to the pilgrimage ceremony of Prince Yong's Mansion, but now they have collectively broken their promises, which makes the officials feel very uncomfortable.

Just as everyone was discussing, Cheng Wenguang and He Zhengyang walked into the room.

Although they were upset, all the officials stood up and saluted the two superiors one after another.

"Everyone, the pilgrimage ceremony at Prince Yong's Mansion is over, you can go back!" Cheng Wenguang said with a serious expression.

The voice fell, and the scene became extremely quiet.

In the end, someone asked: "My lord, what happened? Why did you imprison me here!"

This question speaks to everyone's aspirations, and generally speaking, it is necessary to answer, but Cheng Wenguang did not answer.

"We can't say what happened, but you can check it yourself!"

This was Cheng Wenguang's only explanation. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing that the faces of the people were not slacking off, He Zhengyang, the envoy, said, "It's for your own good to keep you here!"

He Zhengyang also left, and all the officials at the scene looked at each other, and finally left in twos and threes.

They are all smart people, they know that there must be a reason, and it is obviously a big deal to see the two of them keeping a secret.

Everyone's guess was really good, and something really happened in the court.

Ten Beijing officials joined forces to impeach the current prince for misconduct, and asked the emperor to appoint another capable person.

No matter at what time, abolishing the crown prince is a major event, not to mention that the court's struggle for the country has lasted for many years.

After catching up with Cheng Wenguang, He Zhengyang asked in a low voice: "Old Cheng, tell me...is this matter secretly instigated by the harem?"

Cheng Wenguang did not answer directly, but said: "Whether it is true or not, there is always suspicion. The attention of the whole court will definitely gather in Yuanyang!"

"So, we have to be cautious and draw a clear line with King Yong!"

Nodding his head, He Zhengyang has no doubts about this.

"Nowadays there is another disturbance in the court, and the emperor's attitude is hard to predict. His Royal Highness is really suffering!" He Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Casting a glance at this guy, Cheng Wenguang said in a deep voice: "Okay... the governor has told you to send someone to keep an eye on Prince Yong's mansion, don't be negligent!"

"rest assured!"
