Li Jun took Fang Sheng to sleep all night without even having a dream, and went to the palace gate early the next morning.
Every spring, there are countless people selling flowers in baskets in front of the palace gate. The baskets are full of spring flowers collected from everywhere, dripping with dew, and want to sell them at a good price to the officials who are leaving the court.
Officials' sedans, horses, and carriages were surrounded by vendors.
Li Jun bought two baskets of flower baskets and an old bamboo hat to wear. In addition to the dusty clothes on his body, he was no different from other vendors.
He walked leisurely until he walked up to the carriage of the two princes. As soon as he leaned over, Huang Ting of Prince Jin's Mansion immediately became alert and looked at Li Jun with sharp eyes. After Li Jun lifted his bamboo hat and revealed his face, his body became slightly agitated.
Although he was relaxed, people still blocked the carriage and refused to let Li Jun get close.
The guards at Prince Jin's Mansion also held the scabbard of the sword, and were on guard against Li Jun suddenly pulling out the sword from the flower basket.
Li Jun swayed the basket and passed by calmly. At the same time, he sneered in his heart - I had said that I would confine King Jin for three months, but now I let King Jin leave the house in advance to go to court. I am afraid that there is another trouble in the court.
Let the King of Jin come to solve the problem.
When he walked near Prince Yan's carriage, the attendants in Prince Yan's palace only looked at him a few times, but did not take him seriously.
He stood leaning against the wall, waiting for King Yan to come out of the palace gate.
The palace door opened, civil and military officials swarmed out, and the palace door suddenly became narrow. Dong Tongying and others surrounded the King of Jin and walked out. Their expressions and steps were a bit hurried. Yuan Shaopei and others even looked solemn, not knowing whether they were out of the house.
What happened?
The other court officials were also unsmiling and walked out with a straight face.
Seeing this situation, the vendors did not dare to step forward for a while, and all took a few steps back. An old woman selling flowers had been waiting aside for a long time. When she saw this, she also wanted to step back, but she was trembling and walked very slowly.
King Jin stopped, reached out and took out a red flower from the old woman's bamboo basket, and handed it to Dong Tongying: "Why do you all have such sad faces? Spring is good, and flowers are good. Let each of you buy one and wear it."
Dong Tongying took the flowers and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince is very comfortable with this matter, and I have worried about it in vain."
After that, he put the flowers on his gray temples, his expression and posture looked older than before, and he showed a bit more energy.
Yuan Shaopei and others also softened their expressions, took out their silver, bought a flower for each person to wear, and bought another one for King Jin. King Jin was so handsome and his clothes were what everyone in Kyoto rushed to imitate. When they saw King Jin's hairpin
After buying flowers, those who had not bought flowers also rushed to buy them.
The vendors noticed what was happening and immediately gathered around eagerly. The quiet and solemn entrance of the palace immediately became noisy.
Li Jun looked at the bustle, as if he saw the declining imperial city suddenly glowing with a glimmer of life.
He knew that he could not compare with the Empress Dowager Pei, and he also liked peace and prosperity. Therefore, there was always a layer of prosperity in Kyoto for the rich and powerful to have fun and lively. In fact, the common people had been struggling for a long time. Even the old women in their seventies and eighties were struggling.
Come out and sell flowers.
Kyoto has long become a divided place filled with resentment.
Li Jun watched King Jin get on the carriage, and what he saw in his eyes was that the dynasty was once again glorious.
Shortly after King Jin left, King Yan also came out of the palace gate, accompanied by several courtiers. As soon as he appeared, the glorious scene quickly faded, and the imperial city once again fell into decline.
At this point, King Yan couldn't care less about setting up the prince's guard of honor. After saying goodbye to Zhang Dang, he walked towards the carriage with a heavy mist.
Just when he was about to board the carriage, Li Jun suddenly got out, stopped five steps away from King Yan, and sent two full flower baskets forward: "Your Majesty, buy some flowers to wear.
Just now King Jin led his people to buy it."
After saying that, he pushed up the bamboo hat on his head, revealing his face full of scars.
King Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart beat violently, and his mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't help but take two steps back, wanting to escape from everything Li Jun brought.
But he soon stopped and looked around cautiously before looking at Li Jun.
When Li Jun saw that he did not run away and did not say anything to drive him away, he knew that the seed planted by Song Huiyue had begun to take root and would break out of the ground when the time came.
So he boldly continued to move forward, and sent the flower basket to King Yan's arms: "Just picked flowers."
When the guards saw that King Yan did not make a sound and was just staring at the flower basket, they thought he also wanted to buy flowers and did not step forward.
King Yan quickly squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "You'd better give up. Zhang Xutang and I are a family, and there will never be any rift."
Li Jun replied in a low voice: "The most ruthless emperor's family, there are too many things that turn the family against each other."
He picked out a yellow flower and asked, "How about this one?"
King Yan waved his hand fiercely and knocked the flower out of his hand: "Go away, don't let me see you again."
Li Jun always had a smile on his face. He stepped on the flower that fell to the ground, took another one, and put it into King Yan's hand without refusal: "You will definitely like this one, treat it as a gift from me."
, I’m going to the foot shop next door for a bowl of mutton noodles, see you later.”
After saying that, he let go of his hand, turned around and left.
King Yan tightly grasped Fang Sheng and Hua in his hand, as if he had caught an insect biting his hand, but he could not let go. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, almost jumping out of his mouth, and the blood all over his body was rushing to his head.
, but my hands and feet were cold, and I even shivered.
He clutched the flowers tightly, leaving no gaps between his fingers, and got into the carriage with all his strength. He dropped the flowers with trembling hands. Unexpectedly, Fang Sheng also dropped the flowers.
He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, opened it hurriedly, and saw a line of words written on the letter: "Your Majesty, don't let Zhang Xutang hurt you."
He crumpled the letter into a ball, hid it in his sleeve, and continued reading.
The remaining two pieces of paper were all densely written with accounts, which made his head feel as big as a bucket. Halfway through his concentration, he suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop it!"
The carriage stopped quickly. While crumpling the account book into a ball, he stuck his head out and ordered the chamberlain: "Go back to the palace gate!"
The carriage turned around and headed towards the palace gate. It soon stopped at its original position. King Yan jumped off the carriage and looked around at the foot shop that Li Jun mentioned. He saw a viewing pole picked out from the street.
There is a wine stem hanging with the words "mutton noodles" written on it.
He walked towards the foot shop with heavy steps, followed by the waiters and guards, and soon the foot shop was packed.
Many diners in the shop were shunned by this situation, some knew how to pay and left, and some took advantage of the chaos and fled. Soon the shop became deserted, with only Li Jun still immersed in eating.
King Yan sat down in front of him and shouted sullenly: "Don't think that two pieces of paper can threaten me!"
Li Jun raised his head and wiped his mouth: "The two pieces of paper represent our sincerity. If the prince has read these two pieces of paper carefully, he should know that they are the first and last pages of the account book. Between these two pages, there are countless
The total of pages and silver is three million one hundred thousand taels."
