With Fan Budo and others taking the lead, everyone had to pinch their noses and buy a piece of broken skin for 20,000 guan, it was the turn of the princes and kings, under the leadership of King Wu and King Changsha, the price was directly raised to 50,000 guan, and after Li Jun heard this price, he also had to smack his tongue, this group of bastards is really rich.

After the banquet was dispersed, Li Jun asked Zhao Kang to count, this time a total of 1.5 million yuan, Li Jun was not polite, with a wave of his hand, all this batch of money went into the hands of the household, for which Pang Jixian was very happy, and he was about to run the treasury of the mouse, this time it was finally full again, Pang Jixian could also breathe a sigh of relief, and various plans for the second half of the year could also be implemented.

Before leaving, Li Jun said bitterly to Pang Jixian and Lu Hang: "Two Aiqing, I don't even want to lose face this time in order to make money, you must not live up to my expectations, and you must repair the road between Shuzhong and Guanzhong this year." ”

When Lu Hang and the others heard this, they hurriedly patted their chests and replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, now that the slaves are available, plus this money, if it can't be completed, the ministers will come to see you." ”

After Li Jun sent the two away, he returned to the palace, King Wu was still waiting, remembering that when he saw King Wu last year, King Wu was still a fat man with a big belly, and now it seems that King Wu has lost a lot of weight, but he is more energetic.

When King Wu saw Li Jun, he immediately prepared to salute, Li Jun hurriedly supported King Wu and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, okay, it's all a family, so there's no need to do these false courtesies." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." King Wu said with a smile.

After the two sat down, Li Jun raised his glass and toasted King Wu and said: "Brother Wang, this time in Xuzhou, Huashan has already sent a letter to tell me, Brother Wang is very cooperative with Huashan's work, I am very relieved, here I salute Brother Wang, thank you Brother Wang for his contribution to the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, this is what a minister should do." King Wu hurriedly replied.

Li Jun liked this King Wu very much, so he continued to ask: "Brother Wang, how do you feel about this contact with Huashan?" ”

King Wu thought for a while before slowly saying: "Your Majesty, Huashan is only a doctor is a bit condescending, Huashan is a person with superb medical skills, but this Xuzhou epidemic also shows the other side of Huashan, Huashan is a capable official, whether it is to raise the people or govern the army, Huashan has done a good job, Xuzhou Taishou and the county lieutenant were isolated as early as the first day of Huashan's arrival, in the past six months, Huashan has been responsible for various government affairs in Xuzhou while seeing a doctor, and there is no mistake at all, it is really amazing." ”

Li Jun didn't expect King Wu's evaluation of Huashan to be so high, Li Jun knew that Huashan and King Wu were actually rivals now, and now it seems that the two are more like confidants, and King Wu can make such an accurate evaluation of what Huashan does, which also shows that King Wu is by no means a wine bag and rice bag, and his political level is at least above the horizontal line.

Li Jun remembered what the King of Changsha had said to him, and finally made up his mind and said: "Huashan is indeed hard, but this time Brother Wang also impressed me, so I still need Brother Wang to help me with one thing." ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it." King Wu has finally figured it out now, it turns out that this time is an assessment, but I don't know what His Majesty is going to let him do, and at the same time, King Wu has secretly made up his mind in his heart, if His Majesty lets himself go undercover and pit other princes, he won't do this kind of thing.

Li Jun sold Guan Zi and said, "Brother Wang, in fact, this is recommended by my uncle. ”

"What's the matter with King Changsha?" King Wu is getting more and more confused.

Li Jun said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Wang, don't worry, Uncle Ancestor is now a great sect, and he still has to take care of the affairs of the Royal Academy, and Uncle Zu is also an old man, and he can't do it, so I recommend you to be a great sect, and his old man can take care of the Royal Academy, Brother Wang, what do you think?" ”

"The minister agreed." King Wu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed, he was so startled, he thought it was some other job, it turned out to be this kind of good work, Da Zongzheng's official position is well known, it is both easy and face-saving.

Li Jun nodded when he saw that King Wu agreed: "Okay, I won't keep Uncle Wang today, Uncle Wang remembers, three days later, Huashan should enter Beijing, and I will go with me to greet him." ”

"Your Majesty let go, I can't forget this day." This time, Bai Wuchang did not return to Beijing with King Wu, but came back with Huashan, so even if Li Jun didn't say it, King Wu would go out of the city to greet him......

Three days later, Huashan returned to Beijing with a cadre of heroes in the fight against the epidemic, Li Jun took the cabinet people out of the city ten miles to greet him, looking at Huashan and others cutting their hair short, Li Jun's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Li Jun stepped forward, and everyone hurriedly saluted: "Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Li Jun flattened everyone, and then said with a smile: "This trip to Xuzhou, a farewell is half a year, I remember that there were seventeen people when you went at the beginning, but now there are only thirteen people who have returned, that is to say, there are four heroes who sleep in Xuzhou City, I am very sad, but your efforts are not in vain, it is you who saved 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, I thank you on behalf of everyone." ”

After speaking, Li Jun bowed to everyone, and everyone just stood up, and when they saw Li Jun like this, they immediately knelt on the ground again and said: "Your Majesty, this is the responsibility of the ministers, and I don't dare to be such a great gift to Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "I said that you deserve it, you deserve it, Yuan Shoufu, pass on the decree." ”

"No." Yuan Zhan stood up and replied.

Yuan Zhan smiled and arched his hand to everyone and said: "Fengtian promised, the emperor said, Xuzhou epidemic, Huashan and others have worked hard to save thousands of Li people in fire and water, I am very relieved, now Huashan is the Marquis of Xingguo County, and the rest of the people are promoted to three levels, all the heroes who sacrificed for the country will enter the Lingyan Pavilion, and the title will be upgraded to three levels, and the eldest son of the family will attack it, and reward 300 acres of land and a number of gold and silver." ”

This reward is not high, and everyone immediately knelt down and thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go home and rest well, and I will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain everyone in the evening." ”

After everyone left, Hua Shan just wanted to slip away, but was left by Li Jun, Hua Shan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, can you talk about anything later?" If it had been a little later, the meat would have been taken away by the wolf. ”

After speaking, Hua Shan looked at a carriage behind him, and next to this carriage, King Wu was paying his respects there.

Li Jun said obscenely: "Huashan, it's not that I said you, you said that it took so long from Xuzhou to the capital, why don't you grasp it, raw rice is cooked and ripe, and then King Wu will have no way." ”

"Your Majesty, please don't blaspheme my love." Hua Shan said angrily.

Li Jun laughed out loud when he heard this, and after a while he regained his strength and said, "Okay, you go first, I'm not in a hurry here." ”
