Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

"Secretly poisoned his old mother, making her appear as if she had eaten too much and suffered a serious illness."

"Then, you lurk in his house. You just need to wait quietly for the opportunity for the right minister Zuo Mingyang to rush home because he is worried about his old lady's illness, and then decisively and directly cast Gu on him to control them secretly." Mother and son."

"As long as Tiao Hu leaves the mountain, Tiao Kai Yi is not by his side, this is your chance to show your strength."

"Tonight is your best opportunity to perform, Alatana Muqi, you know, you won't miss such a good opportunity for meritorious service, right?"

"At that time, the right prime minister will not be in our hands, at our mercy."

"Ah, son, it really is a good plan. It seems that I will be the real protagonist tonight!"

As expected, Alatana Muqi was most concerned about the queen's plan to disrupt the Nanqing court, and he never forgot each other for a moment.

At this time, she was overjoyed to receive Ni Qi's secret secret mission. Without Ni Qi's excessive instructions, she couldn't wait to leave and go all out to carry out her mission.

"Brother, is your servant good for her, can she complete our plan tonight?" Zhao Youting, the Eighth Wise King, looked at the back of Alatana Muqi and asked Ni Qi anxiously.

"Brother, don't worry, this is the most capable and most commanding confidant next to me, brother," Ni Qi nodded confidently.

"Baobao will not disappoint you, and will definitely complete the task perfectly in a while."

The big plan was made, and it was night. Ni Qi and the Baxian King went out of the palace.

The Mid-Autumn Moon Appreciation Banquet convened by the emperor is about to begin. The entire imperial garden has already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the decorations are dazzling and gorgeous.

In order to create a festive and warm atmosphere, Nanqing Emperor Zhao An specially issued a decree so that all officials do not have to stand in line in front of Mingfu Gate as they usually do when they go to court, and they must work hard no matter the severe cold or heat, and wait for the call with due diligence.

Instead, they meet directly outside Jixian Gate, and then enter the palace and sit in the imperial garden in sequence.

Respected veterans like right and left ministers, or princes and marquises, were let to Jixian Academy not far from Jixian Hall, where they smoked incense, drank tea, and chatted with each other.

Not only can they enjoy the taste of elegance, but also share the feelings of colleagues. It can be regarded as a rare moment of relaxation for them throughout the year.

Ni Qi did not go to Jixian Academy to wait for the banquet with everyone, but sat alone in the deserted Honglu Temple.

As recommended by the Eight Sage Kings, he has the important task of acting as the minister of Honglu Temple temporarily, and Honglu Temple is his essential job, and it is also the most important job.

To say that Ni Qi's career in officialdom is still short, apart from good luck, it is also inseparable from his tyrannical means of fighting for him. He actually has this official status and status at such a young age.

This was also the first time in the capital that he had such a grand wedding banquet that was summoned by the emperor to celebrate with all officials, but suddenly he had a reason to avoid all those who were flattering, cunning, insidious, or arrogant... face.

As the organizer of the banquet, hiding in this place that suddenly seemed particularly secluded, saying that he was dealing with various affairs of the banquet, he was actually enjoying an unexpected tranquility all to himself.

Of course, Ni Qi couldn't feel relaxed even if he hid here, because he also assisted the Eight Sage King Zhao Youting to host the entire Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.

Unlike the New Year's greetings on Yuanzheng Day, the moon appreciation dinner on Mid-Autumn Festival is the same as the process of keeping the year old in the palace, without any formal etiquette procedures.

To put it bluntly, the monarchs and ministers gather together to eat, drink, enjoy music and dance.

But after all, it is a festival in the palace, and every move should not be sloppy.

Just the list of officials and princes attending the banquet was appointed by the emperor, and the arrangement of the seats for the entire banquet came from this, and there was no room for any mistakes.

During the period, the foreign envoys paid pilgrimage and were invited to sit together. In order to reflect the majesty of the state of the Chinese etiquette, there were many red tape etiquette procedures. To put it bluntly, they were all for foreigners.

The space in the imperial garden is still relatively open, and the adults must keep a certain distance between them, and it is not decent for them to jostle each other.

There are only ninety-nine and 81 seats for those who can really get close to the emperor's banquet and celebrate with the emperor "Putian".

The remaining officials, bachelors, eminent monks, etc. who have not had their turn to "get close" to the emperor and who have received special honor and favor can only sit in the seats further back and outside of the imperial garden.

Fortunately, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is neither cold nor hot. It is also a very relaxing and comfortable thing to eat and drink while enjoying the coolness and admiring the moon outside at night.

Of course, compared to being able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor and enjoy the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what the matter is, it is really nothing.

No one would give up the opportunity to go to the palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor's wedding banquet for any reason, so every year there are old and weak people who are overwhelmed with excitement and fall ill due to excessive excitement after the wedding banquet.

In order to arrange the seating of these officials who were invited to the banquet, the Ministry of Rituals has used all their brains, not only considering the status of the officials, but also taking into account the closeness and closeness.

So once someone is absent for any reason, the seating arrangement must be adjusted accordingly.

Obviously, apart from the emperor himself, that is to say, those who have been granted full authority by him can decide the change of seats, and no one else would dare to make mistakes even if they borrowed a hundred of their courage.

At the moment Ni Qi is sitting in Honglu Temple, but he has nothing else to do.

What you need to worry about is whether there will be any changes in the people who will eventually attend the banquet, and if so, how should the seats be changed accordingly.

Just after You Hour, Yuchi Lingtian hurried over from Jixian Gate, holding in his hand the list of everyone who finally attended.

Alatanamuki, the attendant maid, was not around, only the imperial guards standing guard at Honglu Temple stepped forward, took the list from Yuchi Lingtian, and turned around to present it to Ni Qi.

Ni Qi slowly finished a sip of tea in his mouth, and just now he unfolded the list, read it carefully, and smiled on his face.

The imperial servant and Yuchi Lingtian couldn't help but looked at each other, then looked at Ni Qi, looked at the list again, then put it down, sighed and said: "Weird things happen every year, especially this year."

Yuchi Lingtian took a step forward and said, "My lord, you..."

Ni Qi shook his head, picked up a pen, circled the list, and refolded the list in a moment, and handed it back to Yuchi Lingtian.

He smiled and said to Yuchi Lingtian: "Master Yuchi, thank you for your hard work."

Yuchi Lingtian took the list with both hands, bowed and left quickly.

Ni Qi picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said to the skeptical Imperial Guard servant, "You are one of the 24 guards of Longteng Guard, what's your name?"
