Chapter 52
The King of Zhennan is about to leave for southern Xinjiang. It is okay to stay in Chang'an City for a few days, but if there are too many, Emperor Xuan of Jin will be dissatisfied.

Gu Qichi did not have this restriction, he was the heir and only heir of Zhennan Prince, Emperor Xuan of Jin wished that Gu Qichi would stay in Chang'an City as an invisible "hostage".

The family members of King Zhennan were supposed to be "hostages" in Chang'an City, but King Zhennan only had one wife and one son, and his wife died while escorting Emperor Xuan of Jin.

If Emperor Xuan of Jin forced Zhennan King's only relative to stay in Chang'an City, he would be drowned by the spit stars of the people all over the world.

When King Zhennan left, the autumn wind was bleak, and a dead leaf fell miserably from the big tree, and fell on the equally miserable King Zhennan.

There were five or sixty people when they came, but he was the only one who left, and all the guards and servants who came with them stayed in Chang'an City.

Zhennan Wang is indeed the worst prince of the year, bar none.

The flood in Luowu County seemed to be a signal to withdraw troops. Since it passed, the situation in various parts of Dajin has gradually improved.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Although potatoes are high-yield, they are not suitable for long-term staple food. High-yield rice and wheat must be cultivated.

Emperor Xuan of Jin attached great importance to talents in agriculture. After receiving Shen Chang'an's letter a few months ago, he sent someone to secretly investigate in Yong'an County.

After getting the accurate information, he didn't call Qi Yulin back to Beijing immediately, but dealt with it coldly, and waited for Shen Changan to come back.

After all, Qi Yulin belongs to the Qi family, and agriculture is related to the foundation of the country, so he is not at ease with the Qi family.

Emperor Xuan of Jin's mind has changed a lot. The Qi family has become more cautious since they have two queens. It seems that they want to plan for the next queen.

To be honest, if the next queen is still from the Qi family, there will be a lot of quarrels in the court.

The relatives of the Qi family are very powerful, and their power has infiltrated the military generals and harem of the former dynasty, and they are encroaching on the civil servants. If agriculture is added, they will change their surnames after the Jin Dynasty. This is a scene that Emperor Xuan of Jin did not want to see.

But if Shen Juanheng was made the crown prince, he would be awkward. After all, he has half of the blood of the barbarian Nalan family, so maybe the Dajin will have the surname "Nalan" in the future.

For this reason, Emperor Xuan of Jin was very troubled. He had only been on the throne for two years, and he began to worry about the issue of succession.

"Ugh!"

Emperor Xuan of Jin rested his chin with one hand and sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is here."

Emperor Xuan of Jin put down these troubles and asked Eunuch You to bring Shen Changan in.

"Father."

With a smile on his face, Shen Changan bowed to Emperor Xuan of Jin.

"Why is Chang'an here? Come, sit next to Emperor Father."

Shen Chang'an sat down and said, "Father, my son is here for the county magistrate of Yong'an."

"Master Qi, magistrate of Yong'an County, developed green manure for the benefit of the people. On that day, Lord Qi told his ministers that he loved agriculture since he was a child, and he always wanted to serve the country in the Secretary of Agriculture, but his father's order was hard to disobey, so he had to enter the officialdom against his will."

"My son thinks, since Master Qi has the heart and strength, why don't the father help him? This is the best of both worlds..."

Emperor Xuan of Jin said in his heart that he also wanted Qi Yulin to study agriculture. After all, relevant talents are rare, but this is not too involved, he has to think about it.

He answered vaguely.

Emperor Xuan of Jin thought about something and wanted to chat with Situ Jianzheng, so he found an excuse to let Shen Changan go back.

Before Shen Chang'an left, he casually said: "By the way, royal father, when I saw Master Qi in Yong'an County, I felt that he was nothing like Captain Qi."

Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty perfunctorily said, "If a daughter is like her father and her son is like her mother, Chang'an will look like her father."

"Oh."

Shen Chang'an stopped talking, and quietly left.

Si Tianjian was in a corner of the palace, and he said it was a department of the imperial court, but in fact there were only two people doing everything he could—Situ Jianzheng and his apprentice Ting Xi.

Feng Wanniang is considered a family member.

Before Emperor Xuan of Jin arrived at Sitianjian, he saw Tingxi waiting for him at the door, and seeing him walking this way, Tingxi stepped forward quickly.

"Tingxi has met the emperor, the emperor, master is waiting for you in the Star Observation Tower."

Emperor Xuan of Jin paused, turned a corner and walked towards Zhaixing Tower.

It is said to be the Zhaixing Building, but it is actually a small three-story tower with a collection of books inside.

Situ Jian was standing on the reading platform on the third floor, stroking his beard and reading a book.

When he caught a glimpse of Emperor Jin Xuan from the corner of his eye, he walked to the table with a smile and made a pot of tea for Emperor Jin Xuan.

Emperor Xuan of Jin knew that Situ Jian was just an old master with great skills, so he simply told his troubles in his heart directly.

Situ Jian was stroking his beard, and said meaningfully: "Why is the emperor bothering? This matter is beneficial to the country and the people, it is better to let nature take its course."

Go with the flow?

Emperor Xuan of Jin tasted these four characters thoughtfully.

After a while, he took a deep look at Situ Jianzheng, and said, "I understand, thank you Jianzheng."

Situ Jian was exaggeratedly fearful, "I am afraid, how can I be thanked by the emperor!"

Emperor Xuan of Jin was speechless, this old thing, the older it gets, the less serious it becomes.

After Emperor Xuan of Jin left, Jian Situ went looking for a wife in a hurry.

I heard that the eldest princess mainly opened an incense shop on Zhuque Avenue. Although his salary as a supervisor is quite a lot, it is nothing compared to the nobles of Chang'an City.

Hey, do you want to go back to your old job?

The shop that Shen Changan bought didn't work out, and just as he was planning to decorate it, Gu Qichi, who was in love, rushed to send the shop that had already been renovated.

It was the one that Shen Changan fell in love with for the first time.

Oh, and the term "love brain" is new to her.

The shop is a small two-story building with elegant decoration and green bamboo decorations everywhere.

Incense is something that wealthy people can afford, and the price is destined to be expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, and Shen Changan has no plan to sell it to the common people.

This is a "money holding" item, part of which is sold to officials and wealthy businessmen in Dajin, and the rest is exported to other countries.

You can't be plucked by a sheep, it will be bald.

"Changan, how is it here?"

When Gu Qichi heard that Shen Chang'an was going to leave the palace, he also came eagerly. If he hadn't wasted a long time choosing clothes, he would have arrived long ago.

"Very good," Shen Changan frowned, "Thank you very much!"

The upward curve of Gu Qichi's mouth could hardly be suppressed anymore, he pretended to be calm and said, "It's just as long as you like it."

Afterwards, Gu Qichi accompanied her around the store, and occasionally Shen Changan spoke, and he just caught up with her.

Xiao Er was on fire.

[Xiao Er: The host, please fight for your strength. I will try my best to find out the news for you. Are you here to be a follower? ! 】

Gu Qichi: [Yes. 】

Xiao Er was so angry that he fell on his back!
He cried and went to play with Xiaoyi.

"By the way," Shen Changan suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Gu Qichi, "How are you...?"

Gu Qichi knew what she was asking, and touched the peonies on her temples, which was a gift from him.

"I'm fine, I just miss Chang'an very much."

He was trapped in his body for 40 years. Apart from thinking about revenge, he just missed his relatives and lovers.

I don't know if there is an afterlife for a person, and if there is an afterlife, I hope that the people he misses and loves will be safe in the next life.
