The gentleman's way

Easy not.

Jun Changning thought wildly, but slowly relaxed. He didn't have much awe of the imperial power, but now that his wealth and life are in the hands of the emperor, he felt a little bit afraid.But when the paper is in front of you, you feel at ease. The best way to protect yourself is always to master more strength. Don’t you see that when Kangxi defeated Oboi in the battle, there were many deadly crimes in front of him, this one didn’t do it directly Killing people, but imprisoning them, this is the benefit of having strength behind you.

Of course, Jun Zhang would never let himself fall to the level of Oboi. He felt that he had no ability, let alone the strength to win the position of emperor. It's not easy to be a powerful minister of Gaizhu, he will give you a full blown door at every turn. The emperor always likes officials who know how to advance and retreat, and follow his wishes. It is best to help him eliminate dissidents!

Jun Changning's calmness caught the emperor's attention. Although a group of students were copying the papers with their heads down, their heads were all dark and unable to see anything, but some of them were trembling while holding the pens. The emperor didn't like it.Old people don't necessarily like young people, but they certainly don't like old people. After all, looking at the other person reminds me that I am old. Besides, such a person can still work for a few years after entering the court, so comparing the first few years A student who already has a white beard, obviously young people are more liked by the old emperor.

The eunuchs around the emperor are all good people, especially this Eunuch Li, who has served the emperor for many years. He can see the meaning of the emperor's expressionless expression, so he leans over and whispers: "Does the emperor think that Yuanlang look familiar?"

Eunuch Li has served the emperor for many years. He has been with him since he was the prince. He has more face than the average concubine. The emperor was not angry when he heard this, but asked with great interest: "You What else is this narrow-minded ghost hiding?"

Eunuch Li smiled slightly, looked at his head and said: "Does the emperor still remember the handsome young man I saw in the teahouse? It turns out that his knowledge is as good as his character, and he was actually elected by all the adults."

The emperor remembered it when he thought about it, because Jun Changning's handsome appearance and dignified conduct gave him a bit of an impression, and he thought of the news he had found at the beginning. The disciples of Qingshan Academy belonged to the Qingliu school. They had won the Jieyuan before, and now they are Huiyuan. If they really won the first prize, they would be the third.

A thought flashed in the emperor's mind, the lord naturally likes auspicious things, especially his heirs are weak, and there have always been remarks in the court that he fought too much when he was young, especially because he was merciless to his own brothers, so he would The retribution is on the descendants, so I like to ask for some auspicious omens, and I only hope to wash away my stigma.

I just thought that Jun Changning is just a student with no background, how could he have won the Huiyuan, and he must have already voted under the name of some prince or county king.At the moment, he felt a little unhappy again, but Eunuch Li understood in his heart, seeing the change in the emperor's face, he knew why, so he lowered his voice and said about the selection of Huiyuan.

The emperor was relieved when he heard that, if Tan Hualang, the No. [-] pick he had selected, would vote for those people, the emperor himself would not be too useless, and now he loves Jun Changning's character, and there is only such a clear flow As a scholar, I don't think about those things about clinging to the powerful.The emperor apparently forgot that in terms of power, no one in this world could compare to himself.

Of course, Jun Changning didn't know about this. He just felt that Alexander, for some reason, actually walked down from the dragon seat and walked around a group of students slowly, frightening a group of students who had never seen the world. Those with good psychological qualities are fine, but those with bad ones almost fainted directly. Such estimates will directly put them in the third place.

The emperor was in a good mood after hearing Eunuch Li's words. He walked up to Jun Changning and looked down. Hey, this scholar is not only good-looking, but also has a good character. With a romantic attitude, the emperor is also a character who loves to live and hates to die. Seeing Jun Changning at the moment is not bad, but the more he looks at it, the more beautiful he looks. Even with some shortcomings, he thinks it is a good thing.

48, twists and turns

The palace examination is not like the imperial examination, which lasts for many days. If you want to come to think of it, they take the examination in the office of the imperial court. If the examination continues, the emperor will not work anymore.But just for a while, most of the students probably felt more tired than they were in the past few days. When they were taken to the small hall to rest, some of them almost fell down. If it wasn't for the wrong scene, Jun Changning I really want to laugh out loud.

The emperor was quite humane, knowing that this group of students had been waiting outside the palace early, and knelt down and tossed and tossed after they came in, so they must be hungry.Although most of the students brought some snacks with them, they didn't dare to take them out and eat them in public.After a while, a servant came over and brought a banquet from the emperor. Naturally, he received thanks from a group of people.

Jun Changning ate slowly and didn't look around, but it could be seen that this group of quasi-jinshi was still divided into several types. The first type was naturally powerful and powerful in the family, and they might have been in the palace when they were young. At this time, the spirits looked very good, and they seemed very calm, thinking about it, they just came in for a gilding, and the future was naturally arranged by the family.

And the second type is the overly panicked type. Of course these people know that this is not good, but their psychological quality is too poor to handle it, and they still look a little panicked at the moment.Most of these people came from ordinary backgrounds, or were spoiled and raised by their families, and they have little resistance.

The other one is that they have a lot of thoughts, and some of them even try to get close to the servants, which makes Jun Changning don't know what to say.You, a student who hasn't got the honor yet, what do you want to get close to the servant under the emperor's eyelids? Do you still plan to know the inner circle?

Naturally, you can't be rude to the servants, otherwise the king of hell will send you a little ghost, and they will put eye drops on you at some point, but you must not be too close, especially if you are a minister who has just stepped into the officialdom. Deep and shallow can drown people.Jun Changning only ate his own food slowly, but he didn't know that his indifferent appearance also hindered the eyes of some people, including the two quasi-champions.

Originally thought that with the support of King Xianjun and King Kangjun, it would be a surefire thing to get a member. These two have always thought highly of themselves, but unexpectedly they were cut off by a kid who came out halfway.These two originally regarded each other as their greatest rivals in life, but now they are fighting against each other. Seeing Jun Changning's displeasure, they privately thought that this is not going to be Prince Min's way. Seeing him like that is really a little bit pretty.

Jun Changning also noticed that the eyes of those people were not straight, and he knew that they were not thinking of anything good.It didn't occur to him that he was doted on by a man again.However, in his view, his outstanding appearance is certainly a restriction, but it is also a great convenience. A person with an outstanding appearance has conveniences in many places, and of course he has to bear the disadvantages brought by him.So even if he found out, he wouldn't be sad, he just took revenge in private.

The small hall where the students were waiting was quiet. Even if some people squinted their eyes uncontrollably, they did not dare to really fall asleep. Jun Changning learned to close his eyes and rest, otherwise he would not be in good spirits when he saw the emperor later. On the contrary, it is a bad thing.Apparently, many people thought the same as him, and the sound in the hall became less and less.

It was quiet here, but there was almost no noise at the other end.When Huiyuan was present, all the examiners were present, and they thought about each other. Although there were party affiliations, they were not obvious.But when it comes to the palace examination, there are naturally more people involved, and some even don't even care about the emperor's face. How can they give each other face? They wish they could tear each other's mouths apart. of.

The emperor's face was gloomy. He sat at the highest position and only watched the people below drag each other's legs. He naturally knew what these people were thinking. He thought it was the same when his father was in his last years, but now it is more serious than that time. .The emperor only felt that he wasn't cruel enough, and that he didn't end these county kings simply and neatly, so he would feed tigers. Now that he is old, many things are already beyond his control.

Thinking of my deteriorating body, even with the constant recuperation by the imperial physician, I guess it will take the past few years. Although I have kept my mouth shut, those who should know must have known it long ago. It is precisely because of this that these guys dare to do this Arrogant, almost not taking himself seriously.The emperor only felt pain in his heart from hatred, but when he thought of his children who could not raise him, his heart was even more inexplicably sad.

Although it is difficult for the royal family to have an heir, it has never been like this, almost to the point of extinction.If he hadn't mistaken that vicious woman for a virtuous woman, he would have given the harem to that woman without worry, and he wouldn't be in this situation now.It's a pity that everyone in the world thought it was because he favored his male concubine in the early years, so that Haichen had to die to thank the world, and he also gave the last call.It's a pity that the woman did all the tricks, and it would be useless without a son. He would rather give up the seat to his younger brother's son than to the poisonous woman's son.

The emperor's thoughts are naturally unknown to everyone,
