On the streets of Chang 'an.
Li Shimin sat in an ordinary sedan chair. Through the curtains, he looked at the goods piled up like mountains outside. His head hurt again.
This time, he did not ask anyone to accompany him. It was just him, a carriage, and a group of guards. It was that simple.
This way, he could see the real Chang 'an City. When he had time, he wanted to walk around Chang' an City alone and talk about it with Zhang Feng.
But he could not do it.
He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he did not do something right, he would be impeached by all the civil and military officials in the imperial court.
It was the same this time.
Li Shimin waited for a day and a night. Not a single official came up with a good idea because of this matter. Instead, during the morning court session, he met many who came to complain. They came to impeach the Ministry of Works and himself.
These were his officials.
Li Shimin felt a wave of sadness.
A wave of deep sadness.
This was his imperial court. When there was nothing going on, everyone was a good official. But once something happened to the Tang Dynasty, a large group of people would come to impeach someone.
Sometimes, Li Shimin wanted to directly confront Zhang Feng and ask him to reorganize the Imperial College. He wanted to find someone who could really think for the Tang Dynasty.
But he did not dare.
He did not want to.
His relationship with Zhang Feng was so bluntly announced.
More importantly, he cared too much about Zhang Feng. So, he did not want Zhang Feng to be trapped in the filthy place of the imperial court so early.
At this time, his mind was full of that mysterious scripture.
That was the thing that was rumored to be passed down by Shun. It was the thing that helped the King of Qin to unify the world. It was the thing that made everyone crazily fight for it.
Was it true or not?
At this time, Li Shimin was very conflicted. He didn't know what he had done wrong to cause the entire country to fall into a situation where it was controlled by others.
Whether it was Guan Long, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, or even the Tujue who was waiting for an opportunity by his bed, all of them were blocking his path!
"Master Li, we're here!"
Just as Li Shimin was letting his imagination run wild, Little Guizi quietly reminded Li Shimin from outside the sedan.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked at the familiar yet strange Tonghui Square, which was also the market where Zhang Feng lived. Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the palanquin.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the Jinwu Guards, who were disguised as attendants, to hide in the shadows and guard the area. He even ordered Xiao Guizi to wait at the entrance of the square. ,
Only then did he sort out his emotions and slowly walk towards Zhang Feng's tavern.
Just as he turned three alleys, he saw Zhang Feng with his hands clasped behind his back, kicking a broken tile as he walked back.
"Brother Zhang Feng?"
"You're … going out?"
Li Shimin was surprised. He could clearly see that Zhang Feng was thinking about something.
When Zhang Feng saw Li Shimin, he was also stunned. The foot that he kicked out slipped, and he instantly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurried forward to help him up.
"Lao Li? Why are you here? "
"Shouldn't you be helping Lord Zhangsun deal with this mess right now?"
"Right, what I asked Li Gan to tell you last time, did you tell Zhangsun Wuji?"
Li Shimin sighed and silently helped Zhang Feng up.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng's face darkened. This Lao Li, how could he be so careless about such an important matter?
Zhang Feng's face also changed slightly. ,
"Follow me into the house!"
Zhang Feng did not waste any more words. The current situation did not allow him to waste any more words.
After entering the tavern, Zhang Feng did not take any wine, nor did he go to the kitchen as usual. Instead, he took a bag of tiger jerky wrapped in oil paper from the counter and poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin. Then, he asked, "Lao Li, tell me the truth. How much of this matter did you participate in?"
"If it's not much, then just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster. Don't get too used to it!"
"I …"
"Brother Zhang Feng!"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Last time, you asked Qian 'er, that bastard, to pass the message to me. I also heard him tell me the truth. However, I may have been blinded by lard. I didn't take Guan Long's matter to heart. After all, it was the Emperor's matter. How could we, the common people, get involved?"
"However, I did not expect Guan Long's grandson to be so vicious. He directly cut off all the trade routes!"
"Now, even if I wanted to ignore it, I have no choice! I directly bet all my wealth from the treasury on Zhenla's seafood. Originally, I wanted to get you some of that arm-length prawn thing you mentioned. But now, it's a little inauspicious, so today, I did not bring … "
Zhang Feng pulled a handful of hair, his face full of worry.
"Tell me the truth, how much seafood did you get from Zhenla?"
"Almost all my wealth!"
Zhang Feng was a little dizzy.
This fool.
Don't you know that a cunning rabbit has three burrows?
Are you still a f * cking businessman?
Don't you know this kind of thing?
I've tried so hard to persuade you so much, but you've turned a deaf ear to my advice!
Zhang Feng was speechless.
He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.
"Fine! Lao Li, I can't help you this time! "
"I already told you to send your precious son to the military camp to seek refuge. I asked Lord Zhangsun to pass a message to divert everyone's attention to the war at the border, but you didn't listen!"
"Now, you didn't prepare anything and they blocked the door for you. Now, I can't do anything!"
"…"
