The gentleman's way

He is high-profile and has always been favored. He was scolded for the matter of the second son of the emperor before, but after a few years, he seems to be the son of Prince Jin's mansion again. The eldest son was left behind.If it wasn't for the emperor's recognition of Prince Chun's position as the son, he probably would have made the fourth son himself.

On the other side, Yan Ding, the son of Xian County King, and Yan Xiang, the son of Kang County King, are having a lively row. Today, the corporal who is respectful and worthy, and tomorrow the one who is thirsty for talents, is either approachable or unparalleled in style. When you get famous, you get famous, and your reputation among the common people is actually much better than six years ago. It can be seen that these two have learned to behave well in the past few years. farce.

The emperor was absolutely unwilling to leave his position to these two people. He wished that these two county princes would die. How could he choose their son to be the emperor.However, Yan Hong, who was under the name of Prince Chun, escaped from the center of the regime early, and every time he behaved, he seemed to have no intention of taking the throne.As for Yan Zuo's words, to be honest, the emperor looked down on him a little bit. After learning from that good concubine, he was ruthless to his own brother, let alone his uncle.

And the last remaining son of Prince Min, Yan Qi, is a mud that can't support the wall. His personality is honest and honest at best, but cowardly and uninitiative at worst. After getting married a few years ago, he was manipulated to death by that princess Damn, even the little concubine dare not pamper her too much, but that concubine is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, standing in the latrine and not shitting!

The emperor was not less angry about this. At the beginning, he wanted to give Yan Qi more help, so he hired the eldest daughter of the cabinet minister as his wife.He also thought about his simple and honest personality, so he had to find a powerful helper. Who knew that he would be powerful in the end, but he was too powerful. Now he has a daughter under his knees. Sending it to the hands of the two county kings caused chaos instead.

Jun Changning listened and analyzed, but felt a little weird. He was very clear about who the emperor was. When he liked him back then, it was obvious that he liked him, which made him a butt of a gun and was directly pushed out to the border.But now he doesn't seem to like any heir, but he supports Yan Qi a lot, which is obviously not in line with his usual principles.

According to the emperor's approach, at this time, either Yan Qi should be used as a target and loved by thousands of people, or Yan Qi is a piece of mud, and some people will believe that the emperor just wants to give up the position to him.When the time comes, the two county kings will take action if they are in a hurry, so the emperor will definitely be able to catch them, but he didn't do that. Instead, he gradually revealed that he seemed to like Yan Zuo very much, which is thought-provoking. Could it be that He really planned to give the position to Yan Qi but failed.

Both Jun Changning and Yan Hong think that Yan Qi is really not suitable for being an emperor, and he can't even handle a woman well. If such a character becomes an emperor, he might create a chaotic dynasty with his relatives in charge of the family and the harem interfering in politics.The emperor is also clear in his heart, but why has he not used Yan Qi's waste?Dear love, don't be stupid, Prince Chun is still his younger brother, so why not come here as usual.

Jun Changning shook his head. It is not up to him which emperor is in charge. When they leave the political center, Yan Hong will not completely let go of military power. If they can't find a way to protect themselves when they are in trouble, then they deserve to be unlucky.

Before Jun Changning could come up with a solution, half a month after arriving in the capital, the emperor finally summoned him.Yan Hong saw him off all the way with a little worry, and once he sent it to the gate of the palace, Jun Changning saw him frowning, and said a little funny: "The emperor is not a tiger, so he won't eat me."

Yan Hong shook his hand, but did not say that because of old age or the loss of power, the emperor was even more tyrannical than before. Some time ago, he even beat a favored young talent to death in anger.Although that talented person was bold enough to speak out for Yan Ding, the emperor's temper can be seen. In the early years, he would definitely endure it first, and just find an excuse to get angry with that young talent, which is better than beating him to death on the spot good.

Jun Changning saw that he was a little reluctant, so he couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed him, and when he was about to return the kiss, he pushed him away a little, and said with a smile: "Be good and wait for me to come out, the emperor wants to keep me here." In the capital, we also need to see if there is a suitable position. Now I am an official of the fifth rank. Unless I am demoted, otherwise, the county princes will definitely not want me to intervene as an outsider. .”

Yan Hong also understands this truth. There is no vacancy for Jun Changning in the capital now. He reached out and shook the man's hand, and said, "Be careful yourself. I will wait for you to come out. When the time comes, you will let go of your foreign post. Don't be disgusted." I eat and drink for nothing."

Jun Changning glanced at him, smiled and said, "Anyway, I can afford you."

After finishing speaking, Jun Changning still had to open the curtain and get out of the carriage. The palace gate was still bright red, which made people feel a little depressing. The eunuch who came to announce the decree was still the eunuch, who should be from Yan Hong, and he was a little bit dizzy with him. He didn't move impatiently, on the contrary, he smiled kindly and said, "Master Jun, please follow me, the emperor is waiting inside."

77、Choose

Jun Changning didn't have a deep impression of the emperor. After all, according to the rules of this era, even when they faced the saint, they had to keep their heads down and couldn't look directly at the emperor.What impressed me the most was probably the time of the imperial examination. The emperor praised him without restraint. Although it was rumored that the monarch was in poor health, he sounded very angry at that time, especially when he scolded the minister who was not pleasing to the eye. Even more so.

But this time, Jun Changning felt that the changes were great. The emperor was still the same emperor, but he no longer had the energy he had six years ago. Although he still has a majestic air in a high position all the year round, he shows a bit of embarrassment that cannot be concealed, and even when he speaks, he has a kind of weakness that cannot be ignored.

Jun Changning took a glance out of the corner of his eye. The emperor's face was even more ugly against the background of the golden dragon robe. It even made people feel that his complexion was golden. Those ancient well-free eyes made people feel a chill for no reason. .Jun Changning didn't dare to be presumptuous, and after saluting respectfully, he heard the emperor say, "Get up. It's been almost seven years since I and Jun Aiqing have seen each other, and Aiqing is still the famous girl in the capital." The number one scholar."

Hearing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, Jun Changning smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "The emperor's praise is ridiculous, and my humble minister is ashamed."

The emperor laughed. In fact, he really liked Jun Changning a little bit. Firstly, Jun Changning's talent and appearance are really pleasing to people. Second, this person was single-handedly picked up by him. He has never been won over by those county kings.

When Jun Changning was first dispatched to Qinguan, the emperor still wanted to promote him back, but it was a pity that he was busy fighting with those few later, Jun Changning, who was talented but had no power, was naturally left behind by him .If it wasn't for Qin Guan's tax reduction and exemption, which gradually became the biggest one surpassing Qinghe Prefecture, he wouldn't notice it again.

So when Yan Hong spoke this time, the emperor called him back to Beijing without hesitation, but felt that the relationship between this person and Yan Hong seemed too close. The people of the Yan family hold the military power of the Zhenbei Army in their hands, so the emperor is still a little jealous.That's why there was this period of cold reception. At this time, seeing Jun Changning's appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing, he felt a little relieved. After all, compared with those few, Yan Hong made him feel much more at ease.

Whatever the emperor wanted to do, his subordinates had to accompany him. With a slight smile on his lips, Jun Changning accompanied the emperor to recall the bitterness and sweetness, and then explained the development of Qinguan in detail. Full of praise, he nodded and cast admiring glances: "Changning is worthy of being a minister of the humerus. A place like Qinguan is also full of vitality under your hands. Those few back then were self-defeating and added to my treasury. "

The emperor unscrupulously mentioned those few people in front of him. Firstly, it was a test, and secondly, it might be to express his trust. Jun Changning was even more respectful. No bones left, Zhuangyuan Lang and Zhizhou Cong Wupin are already great officials in the eyes of the common people, but in front of the emperor, they are nothing but farts. He knows that his foundation is shallow, so he is more careful in dealing with others .

After the effort of a cup of tea, the emperor's spirit became more and more sluggish. Looking at Jun Changning, he felt that the number one scholar he had handpicked back then was not an ordinary handsome man. Yes, the emperor looked a little melancholy, why the talented and good-looking are all other people, his... If he is as good as this, he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Aiqing was originally born in the imperial examination, and her talents and learning are not ordinary. When I come back this time, why don't I go to the Imperial Academy again, so that those old guys can see the vitality of the young people, how about it?" The emperor asked seemingly unintentionally, but Jun Changning The whole back tensed up. The highest official of the Hanlin Academy is the fifth-rank Hanlin Academy bachelor, who is usually held by a respected senior in the literary world. He is now a fifth-rank official, even if he has been transferred
