The gentleman's way

Go, at least you have to be a bachelor's degree attendant or a bachelor's lecturer, and you can get into a group of literati all at once, and it's no wonder that you don't get squeezed out.

Jun Changning organized the language, and just said with a smile: "The emperor Xie loves you wrongly. It's just that it's common for me to ask myself about my talent and learning. I can't compare with a few teachers. I like people's livelihood more. I can see the people living a good life, and I also feel in my heart." Feel so happy."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes. If Jun Changning was willing to enter the Imperial Academy, he might be able to give him some help. After all, the Imperial Academy has always been a special existence in the hearts of literati. With Chang Ning's current status and qualifications, if he were to become a bachelor by airborne, it is estimated that not many people would buy it.Moreover, the few people in the Hanlin Academy have always been neutral, and they don't have to do thankless things.

Thinking about it again, Jun Changning's current status is indeed embarrassing. Although he has been an official for almost seven years, he is still a boy in his early twenties and has no backing.If you want to upgrade from the fifth rank to another level, no matter if you go to the sixth or fifth temple, you have to squeeze them out. The position is too obvious, but it will attract the attention of those people, and you will become an outcast.

The emperor pursed his lips, and suddenly said with a smile: "I heard that Aiqing is not married yet, why don't I be a matchmaker and choose a beautiful wife for Aiqing in the capital, how about it?"

Jun Changning was even more terrified in his heart, thinking that the emperor would not come to Tianwai magic pen again, so he would just propose marriage to himself, and immediately said: "The emperor, when the humble minister left home in the early years, the family had already made an appointment for the humble minister. Marriage, it's just that I have been away for these years, and I haven't been able to get married in time. If I want to marry a wife, I still need to discuss it with my parents."

What Jun Changning said was ingenious, he only said that he was engaged to get married at the beginning, and the marriage had already been retired when he returned home, so it was not his fault, no, whoever asked the emperor to put himself in Qinguan would last for six years, You can't delay other girls in vain.As long as the marriage in front of him is dismissed first, then he will have a way to say it satisfactorily. Besides, no one else will know what he and the emperor said in the room, and the emperor will never be idle all day long. Staring at whether he is married or not.

Sure enough, the emperor was even more disappointed when he heard this. If the Jun family had already settled on a marriage, it would be hard for him to refer to marriage.After all, no matter whether it is asking Jun Changning to withdraw from the marriage, or having a new wife or something, it is not good. If there is no big help at that time, it will be easy to form enemies.

Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened a little, and he secretly felt that although Jun Changning had an upright personality, he didn't know what to do.Even if he is given a great opportunity, he can't grasp it. If he is willing to give it a try, he will be successful in the future, but this one looks bold, but he is actually a timid one, so even if he is not attracted by those few, he will be able to stay. What kind of role can it play.

Thinking about it, the emperor lost interest in talking again, and waved his hand to let him go down first.It was only after Jun Changning walked out of the hall that he had time to wipe the cold sweat off his brow, glanced at Zhu Men, turned around and left without hesitation.If the emperor was still in his prime, or had a prince who could stand up to his name, he might still give it a go, but in the current situation, how could he rashly sacrifice his wealth and life for the sake of a loyal emperor's reputation? Go in and fight, he is not alone now, there is a whole Jun family behind him.

When Jun Changning walked out of the palace gate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and bid farewell to the eunuch who sent him out, and saw Yan Hong standing far away at the gate of the palace, probably waiting there since he entered, seeing him When he came out, his expression eased slightly, he took a few steps forward to see his appearance clearly, and said with a sigh of relief: "Let's go, get in the car and go home."

Jun Changning hummed, and didn't let go of the man holding his hand when he got in the car, and suddenly said with a smile: "I see the emperor's actions, he seems to be a little bit impatient. If it was six years ago, he would definitely They don’t want to force me into the Imperial Academy.”

Yan Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said sarcastically, "Of course, he was healthy six years ago, but now he has been eclipsed. There are some things that he has no power to do."

Jun Changning also frowned slightly. In his opinion, if those county kings were really allowed to ascend the throne, it would be of no benefit to them at all. No matter whether it was the Xian County King or the Kang County King, the attitude towards Yan Hong But it's not good.But if other people wanted to ascend to the throne, it is estimated that these county princes would not be able to give up. This was also in the early years, when the emperor thought he could control these county princes, and he has been letting go to achieve the current situation.

Yan Hong pinched the cheek of the man in his arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if I let go of the military power of the Beibei Army, now with my position as the Great General of Zhenbei Army, the emperor will definitely make me a Marquis if he wants to let me go. At that time, we will be able to keep private soldiers in captivity, among other things, self-protection can definitely be done.”

Jun Changning raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Listen to this, those who didn't know thought you were going to rebel. The emperor seems to have plans to marry me, although I pushed back at that time, I was afraid that he would do it again. If the imperial decree comes down, I am afraid that it will be time to resist the decree."

Yan Hong's eyes were slightly cold. Ever since the two of them connected with each other, he finally understood why Chang Ning insisted on being a couple forever. Thinking of other women around his lover, he was almost going crazy with jealousy. How could he maintain it? With a normal heart, I watched him marry a wife and have children.Sometimes Yan Hong would be glad that Chang Ning brought up this matter at the beginning, otherwise, he would have been soaked in sour vinegar in the years to come. no.

Thinking of this, Yan Hong hugged the person in his arms tighter. Since his mother and concubine passed away, it is such a blessing to have someone with his heart to accompany him. Jun Changning also understood his intentions, and instead of resisting, he showed Seeing the rare obedience, Yan Hong was even more delighted, kissed his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he has no intention of proposing marriage to you recently, and we will be able to leave the capital in less than a month."

Jun Changning nodded, not doubting it.Although Yan Hong has been away from Beijing for many years, there are obviously a lot of eyeliners here, otherwise things in northern Xinjiang will not go so smoothly.He spoke with such certainty, it is estimated that the emperor has been worrying a lot during this time.

Yan Hong thought for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow, I want to take you to pay homage to my mother and concubine."

Jun Changning was slightly taken aback. Although Yan Hong's mother and concubine passed away early, what is the feeling of such an ugly daughter-in-law finally meeting her parents-in-law? Her ears were slightly red, but she still said, "Okay, I don't know what the princess likes."

However, Yan Hong sighed. When the concubine mother was reborn, in order to protect herself, she would fight wits and bravery with that good concubine. How could she have time to spend elsewhere? Her natal family was in decline in the early years, and there was no help at all. He can do things like stop his wife and remarry: "If I see you, my mother will be very happy."

Yan Hong's words are true, even if the daughter-in-law he brought is a man, if he knows that he has found someone who will depend on him for life, his mother and concubine will be happy.Jun Changning pursed his lips and said nothing.The relationship between Yan Hong and Prince Jin's father and son is very estranged. Even if they don't turn against each other, it is a reality that they are strangers. That's why Yan Hong is either studying abroad or going to the frontiers these years.

Yan Hong thought that he had been away all these years, and no one worshiped at the tomb of his mother and concubine. Although the tomb was watched by its own servants, it was still desolate.His prince's father only had a good concubine in his heart, and he probably forgot that his mother, who had been with him through thick and thin in the early years, would visit the grave every year.And this time when he returned to Beijing, he was bound to leave again. Before that, he would pay homage to his mother. If possible, he even wanted to take his mother away, but it was a pity that it was impossible.

Noticing Yan Hong's loss, Jun Changning also thought that it had been six years since he left, and he hadn't been to Mrs. Jun's grave a few times. The old lady loved him so much when she was alive, but thinking about it now is very unfilial.After thinking about it, he said, "I can come back in the future. Let's take time to pay homage to our mother every year."

After hearing this, Yan Hong felt a lot better. After all, at the beginning, Jun Changning was thin-skinned and called Prince Chun and Princess by honorary titles, but now that he called his mother, he obviously regarded himself as Yan Hong's other. half.The two looked at each other, and their affection for each other was silent.

Jun Changning just let the flow flow and called out, but now he doesn't feel too embarrassed, it seems that it is a matter of course.They have known each other for 20 years, and they have been together for almost seven years. They have friendship, love and family affection. They have long been fused together and become an inseparable part of each other. Now it is just a title, so what is it worth?

78. Secrets of the Cemetery

The mausoleum of Princess Jin is not far from the capital, and it's only half a day's journey on horseback.It stands to reason that she was the concubine bestowed by the queen mother when she was alive, and she was also the mother of the only eldest son after she died. Even if the mausoleum does not have the grandeur of the queen, it should have a royal demeanor, but after entering, you will find that this The mausoleum is nothing more than sketchy.

Occasionally, a craftsman passed by, who was sent by Yan Hong to repair his mother's tomb after he returned to Beijing.In fact, when Prince Chun died, if it wasn't for the sake of looking good, the man would have dragged her outside and buried the matter, so as not to hinder the mother and child's eyes
