The gentleman's way

Bit, frowning slightly at the moment.

The man glanced around and seemed to notice Jun Changning's existence. He was slightly startled, then smiled a little, and walked towards this side. Jun Changning guessed the identity of this person in his heart, and the man had already said, "This It's Jun Changning, Mr. Jun, everyone says meeting is not as good as being famous, but Mr. Jun is more elegant than the rumors say."

Jun Changning stood up and cupped his hands slightly, and asked with a smile, "I don't know who you are?"

The man didn't care about his faux pas, and said frankly: "I am Prince Min's son Yan Qi."

Jun Changning was taken aback, and secretly thought that the son of Yanqi was really as rumored, he looked very kind, but he really didn't have the aura of a superior, and he was very respectful at the moment.

After Yan Qi said something, he sat down here directly. It seemed that he had a good impression of Jun Changning, so he brought it out between words. It seems that women are not good at all, but if they like to talk about reading poetry, Jun Changning probably thinks that this prince has taken a fancy to him. Although he is not good at these things, after all, he has read books for 20 years, and the answer is naturally satisfactory.

Yan Qi always likes to judge people by their appearance, and thinks that a good-looking person is naturally handsome and handsome, like a gentleman, and an ugly person must be as good as his appearance, and the dross is unbearable. Although no woman is made of water, men are made of mud. But it also suffered a lot.Of course, the tigress at home really made him realize that some beautiful women are also made of dross.

Although Jun Changning was not in the mood to greet others, he couldn't offend Prince Min's eldest son outright.He thought that Seventh Sister was the concubine of Prince Min back then, and there has been no news of it all these years. It is impossible for Jun Changning to come directly to ask to see Prince Min's concubine. At the beginning, Jun Yuexuan's actions also made him feel chilled. Now Although I thought about it, I didn't ask, but I just wanted to know that, these years, Prince Min favored male servants more and more, and Miss Seven's life might be difficult.

Yan Qi is really not one to read people's faces, Jun Changning is already showing a bit of fatigue, this one is still talking non-stop, as if seeing a confidant in this life.In the end, he touched his chin and said with a smile: "I am really happy to see Brother Jun talking today. The emperor always said that poetry is not the right way, but only poetry can match such a glorious figure like Brother Jun." .”

Jun Changning murmured in his heart that he was a vulgar person, and he couldn't be more vulgar.When I was an official, poetry was useless, and most of the time was spent in money.But he has a deceptive appearance, he looks really noble and incomparable, he puts on airs in front of literati, and puts down airs in front of ordinary people, and he is easy to use.At this moment, he just smiled and said: "The emperor is also concerned about the son."

Yan Qi faltered a few times, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I also know it in my heart, but the ambition is not in this."

As Jun Changning listened, he was keenly aware that the relationship between the son of Yanqi and the emperor seemed to be very close.It sounds like Prince Yanqi is often scolded because of this matter, but if the emperor didn't care about him, why should he scold him.In other words, if the two sons were like this, the emperor would still feel very happy.

Could it be that the emperor originally wanted Yan Qi to take the throne? Thinking about it this way, Jun Changning cleared his head and turned to look at Yan Qi carefully. I have to say that although Yan Qi is a little fat, he still looks very good. After the genetic optimization of each generation of middle-aged people, in fact, few of them are not good-looking.Among ordinary people, Yan Qi could boast of his elegance, but in the battle for the crown prince, I am afraid that he will be compared by those two.

It would be fine if Yan Qi was only benevolent, but he had no intention of politics. Prince Min didn't know if he had passed on his absurdity to his son. Talented scholars recite poems and write lyrics.His personality is so weak that everyone in the capital knows that he is afraid of his wife.

Such a person, why didn't the emperor give up? On the surface, he didn't seem to like him, but secretly reminded him all the time.Jun Changning suddenly thought of some information that Yan Hong had read to him before. Among the several princes, Yan Qi was the one who was summoned the least by the emperor, and Yan Qi was the one who scolded him the most, but it was just like this that made Yan Qi the most stable.

Looking at Yan Qi's lowered voice, Jun Changning suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to the emperor. At first, he didn't think too much about it because of his completely different temperament, but now it seems that the eyes and nose are completely printed from the same mold.On the contrary, he had seen Prince Min before, and he was not at all similar to Yan Qi.

Various speculations flashed through Jun Changning's mind, but he felt that it should not be.But he was deliberately clichéd to Yan Qi, and when he asked, he knew that Yan Qi was really not a deep-minded person, and he didn't spend much effort to let him say it all over again.Although they were all trivial matters, Jun Changning was sensitive to the fact that the emperor's attention to Yan Qi was definitely not like that to Prince Min's heir.It is impossible to say how much the emperor has brotherly affection for Prince Min. Yan Qi was scolded a lot just because he was afraid of his wife.

Jun Changning frowned, until the two of them parted ways, they didn't think of a reason.Who knew that the next day, the emperor issued an order to announce his audience, and Jun Changning's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that it could not be the aftermath of what happened yesterday.After entering the palace, he knelt down for a long time before the emperor cried out slowly, his face calm.

Jun Changning was vigilant in his heart, and when the emperor asked questions, he became a little rigid. After a while, the emperor smiled and said, "Why is Jun Aiqing so nervous? I just think that after Aiqing leaves Beijing, we don't know if there will be a day to see you again." , I just chatted with Aiqing today."

Jun Changning slandered in his heart, as soon as he came in, he was a showdown, so it was strange that he was not nervous.But there was also a smile on his face, and he raised his head and said: "The emperor is in the prime of his life, why worry about never seeing him again. Since I entered the court, thanks to the trust of the sage, I am so grateful that I can do something in the future. An opportunity given by the Holy One."

Seeing his respectful appearance, the emperor felt a little satisfied. He secretly thought that it would be better if such a good minister could be left to his heirs. If a good seedling is planted, it will be good for the new emperor to ascend the throne in the future.It's a pity that that person didn't live up to expectations, but such a good talent could not be kept in Yan Qi's hands.

Thinking of this, the emperor took a closer look at Jun Changning again. Even in the past seven years, this number one scholar still has the same demeanor. Old man, Yan Qi is very repulsed by this, if you don't deal with them, you won't deal with them, and the things entrusted to him are barely done, if you don't send someone to watch, you probably have made those few stumbled a long time ago .

The emperor fell into deep thought, but Jun Changning looked at the aging emperor out of the corners of his eyes. He paused again when passing by the accessories on the emperor's waist. He subconsciously thought of what Yan Qi had mentioned. On the emperor's [-]th birthday, Yan Qi also needed He himself thought that the poems and paintings were good for presenting gifts, but the emperor never liked them, and was afraid that he would be scolded if he gave them away. In the end, it was his concubine who made the decision and took out a piece of warm jade.

Yan Qi didn't talk about the appearance of that piece of nephrite in detail, but only because the emperor praised him for his filial piety that time.It's just that Jun Changning looked at the warm jade around the emperor's waist, and wondered in his heart whether it might be that piece. If it was true, the emperor might be really special to Yan Qi.

The emperor came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his mind in front of his subordinates, and his face was a bit embarrassing. Seeing that Jun Changning still had a low-browed and pleasing appearance, he nodded, thinking that he was a measured person, unlike the one who was pushed away later. The two champions who came up, even in front of him, looked proud of their talents, and he didn't know who gave them the courage.Thinking of those two who obviously looked down on Yan Qi, the emperor felt even more depressed. Although Yan Qi also looked down on those two ordinary-looking ones, in comparison, Jun Changning seemed rare and precious.

"I heard that you and Yan Qi have a good relationship, but I didn't expect that you two would hit it off." The emperor spoke again, but said straightforwardly.

Jun Changning was slightly startled, secretly thinking that the emperor's eyeliner was really unusual, and he would not say that he and Yan Qi just met once, but replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness is kind and talented. , is willing to put □ Duan Yuweichen, I am deeply honored."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said: "It's rare, but it's a pity that he has such a temperament, and I don't know if he can live a peaceful life."

Jun Changning pretended that he hadn't heard this sentence, and the emperor seemed to realize that he had broken his promise. He glanced at Jun Changning, thinking that he couldn't guess anything, waved his hand and said, "You should do well for the position of the prefect of Changhai. Let's go down first."

Jun Changning was slightly startled, and bowed his head to retreat. Although his steps were steady, he couldn't stop his surprise. After all, Changhai is no worse than Qinguan.Changhai is located in the coastal area, it takes seven or eight days to drive from the capital, but only three days to Ningyi.Although he is not in charge of Ningyi County, it is actually critical. That is to say, if he becomes the prefect of Changhai, not only will he be closer to home, but he will also be able to take care of him in the future.

Changhai is not only a tax-heavy place, but also a port, and the land is rich, which is almost the same as the land of fish and rice in the south.Only one is perennially attacked by pirates
