However, things are rare and expensive. The red sandalwood wood on Tanxiang Island is very large, but it has to be shipped back for high-end sales. This stuff is in short supply in the Tang Dynasty, so it can easily fetch a sky-high price, and it is of high quality even if you give it away.
If it's all over the streets, it won't be valuable...
Wang De's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said excitedly: "This... old slave is not polite?"
Fang Jun pretended to be angry and said: "What are you talking about? You keep calling yourself an old slave, but have I ever treated you as a slave? Giving you something is because of our friendship here, and I don't want to take it from you.
You know something here that you shouldn't know. Just don't be polite and send someone to deliver it to you later."
"Oh, that's alright. It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Wang De felt comforted in his heart and accepted it calmly.
He has a very good impression of Fang Jun.
Just as Fang Jun said, every time they met, Fang Jun talked and laughed freely. He did not treat him as the chief chamberlain beside His Majesty Li Er too respectfully, but seemed much more cordial.
The eunuch's disability is most attributable to other people's attitudes.
Wang De felt more at ease with Fang Jun's casual acquaintance than with others' respectful approach.
"In a moment, the old slave will send someone home to wait. Shall we go to see His Majesty right now?"
"You lead the way."
The two walked side by side towards the palace, chatting and laughing in low voices as they walked. Fang Jun told some interesting stories about his experiences overseas, and Wang De listened with interest. The eunuch was subject to too many restrictions, and given his status, he usually only went out of the palace to get some fresh air.
, even Chang'an City cannot go out half a step, and is very interested in those things outside the territory.
As he talked, he came to the Dragon Palace.
There was a person kneeling vaguely under the rain corridor in front of the temple.
Fang Jun asked curiously: "Who is this, being reprimanded by His Majesty?"
Wang De whispered: "Qi Guogong Dou Shaoxuan...didn't you beat my son this morning? Now you came to His Majesty to complain. But after saying a few words, Your Majesty drove him away. But this
I am not angry in my heart, so I kneel here to ask Your Majesty to seek justice. I will go in to see His Majesty later, Erlang, please be careful and think carefully before speaking."
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to receive such dedicated advice from Wang De.
Fang Jun said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the tip, I will save it."
Wang De nodded with satisfaction.
Among all the descendants of noble families in the dynasty, Fang Jun is the most spiritual, and he can tell...
When they arrived in front of the palace, Fang Jun was waiting here, and Wang De went inside to report.
Fang Jun was bored and looked up at the sky.
The sky is gloomy, and it seems that the first snowfall of the year in Guanzhong is not far away, and there is a deep chill in the air. There are several huge poplar trees planted in a corner in front of the temple. The leaves have long fallen off, leaving only the bare branches in the cold.
Shivering in the wind.
A dull voice came from behind.
"Are you Fang Jun?"
Fang Jun turned around and glanced at the middle-aged man in a python robe who was still kneeling under the rain corridor in front of the palace. He pursed his lips and said nothing, then turned his attention to the tall crow's nest on the poplar branch.
The Duke of Qi, Dou Shaoxuan, was almost furious!
Although I don’t have much real power, I am still a high-ranking official and a relative of the emperor. How dare you, a young boy, ignore me?
He stood up from the ground suddenly, staggered and almost fell down. He had been kneeling for too long, and his legs were a little blocked...
Stabilizing his body, Dou Shaoxuan angrily shouted: "Fang Jun, you are also a noble son and the royal consort, how can you be so vicious and cruel, how can you be so different from the butcher in the market?"
Dou Shaoxuan almost felt heartbroken when he just saw Dou Dewei at home who was carried back by Buqu!
He could not give birth to a son, so he adopted his brother's youngest son into his name as the heir to his title. However, at the same time, he treated his brother's eldest son as his own and loved him very much.
Seeing Dou Dewei being beaten into such a miserable state, his eldest brother sighed with a sad face, his sister-in-law was crying and heartbroken, Dou Shaoxuan was so angry that he went to the palace to seek justice from the emperor!
He also knew that Fang Jun was famous for being a stickman. If he came to the door himself, that bastard probably wouldn't give him face...
Seeing Fang Jun being so arrogant and not taking him seriously at this moment, Dou Shaoxuan became even more angry and wished he could take out a knife on the spot and stab this bastard severely!
He opened his mouth to curse, but Fang Jun looked unconcerned and even shrugged his shoulders casually and said: "Yes, sometimes I am really not as good as the Butcher Ranger in the market. The Butcher Ranger has nothing to do but can be happy."
I can kill Master Ling on the spot because of my grudges! Mr. Qi Guo, don’t teach me how to be a good person here. If you have such skills, why not go home and teach that wimp of yours? Be careful and don’t do those sneaky and dirty things in the future.
What a waste of time, otherwise if you encounter a bad-tempered person someday and give him a white knife, a red knife will come out, don't blame me for not predicting what I said!"
Dou Shaoxuan's face suddenly turned red, and he was so angry that he pointed his halberd and said angrily: "How brave! How dare you threaten your own prince? Is this how Fang Xuanling teaches his son at home?"
Fang Jun also lowered his face politely: "I'm warning you, if you mention my father's name again with a disrespectful tone, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Dou Shaoxuan was almost mad. Where had he seen such a generous person?
He stared angrily, veins bulging: "Why, you still dare to hit me? You don't even look at where this place is, in front of the emperor, and you dare to do whatever you want? I'm going to try it today to see if you have this
courage!"
Fang Jun refused to give in: "As long as you are disrespectful to my father again, even in the Tai Chi Hall, I will still slap you!"
Dou Shaoxuan was furious and pointed at Fang Jun's nose, but he did not dare to mention Fang Xuanling's name.
Fang Jun didn't give in, and he didn't dare to really beat up this royal relative right outside His Majesty Li Er's palace door.
As a result, the two of them glared at each other like cockfighters, with a sense of "You dare to look at me? If you look at me, I'll beat you up!" "I just looked at it, what can you do?"...
Wang De and His Majesty Li Er informed that Fang Jun had come to see him, and after receiving the emperor's summons, he turned around and heard the two of them saying vindictive words to each other!
Wang De was startled, and trotted over quickly, trying to dissuade you: "What are you two doing? Eavesdrop on the old slave, please calm down quickly. If you disturb His Majesty, neither of you will get a good result! No!"
Look at this place, can you be allowed to curse like a shrew?"
The two of them shut up angrily and just looked at each other, neither of them convinced of the other.
Wang De said to Fang Jun: "Marquis Huating, your Majesty has summoned you to come in for an audience. Go quickly."
"promise!"
Fang Jun glared at Dou Shaoxuan, snorted, turned around and walked into the Dragon Palace.
Wang De said to Dou Shaoxuan again: "Qi Guogong, at your age, why are you angry with this stick? Listen to the old slave's advice, you'd better go back first."
Dou Shaoxuan refused to leave and said: "No, I don't believe it anymore. Is there no king's law in Zhaozhao today? It doesn't make sense to seriously injure someone and still get away with it! I'll go to His Majesty to argue!"
He lifted his feet and walked into the temple.
Wang De said anxiously: "Mr. Qi, why don't you listen to my advice?"
Dou Shaoxuan rolled his eyes and sneered: "Do you really think that so-and-so doesn't know? You and that Fang Jun are in a nest of snakes and rats, so you must be talking to him, trying to trick so-and-so into making this big thing a trivial matter? I tell you, there is no way!"
He flicked his sleeves and entered the palace.
Wang De was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he had nothing to say. You should treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs. His Majesty just drove you away because he was out of consideration for your affection. But if you still insist on being patient, then you will be asking for trouble.
Bar……
The old eunuch secretly hated and cursed in his heart.
In the main hall, His Majesty Li Er was wearing a royal blue uniform and thin-soled cloth shoes. He was full of energy and holding a book in his hand, just like a learned Confucian scholar. But his expression was a little hesitant. Perhaps the quarrel between Fang Jun and Dou Shaoxuan outside the hall disturbed His Majesty the Emperor's study.
Interested and slightly annoyed.
Fang Jun entered the house, paid homage with great salute, and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, Fang Jun. Your Majesty looks like a dragon and a tiger. He is full of energy and might. He is more powerful than before. I am in indescribable admiration for you, just like a high mountain..."
"Shut up!"
His Majesty Li Er scolded: "You are full of nonsense. Do you really think that I am a foolish king who likes to slander?"
Fang Jun shut up immediately, but said in his heart: You are a foolish king, and I am not a traitor! You say you are not happy, but you also look in the mirror and look at the smile that cannot be concealed in the corner of your eyes, you are really a hypocrite...
His Majesty Li Er cursed, and there was really no anger in his expression. It was obvious that Fang Jun's words were very useful. He put the scroll on the coffee table beside him and opened his mouth to speak, but found that Dou Shaoxuan came in without saying anything.
.
His face immediately dropped.
There is a faint anger in my heart, are you not done yet?
