Volume 3 Temple Wind Chapter 104 The Wind Brings Snow as a Cloth

A heavy snowfall in the spring of the first month covers the new weather, but fortunately in the south, as long as the sun comes out, the ice and snow melt, and the next year should be a good harvest. The cold and snow in the three continents of the North Mirror have been flying for a long time, and the heavy snow that has been falling for several days has finally ushered in the sunshine. Before the heavy snow melted, the cold wind blew fiercely, and a snowflake fell on the snowflakes and threw the people of the three continents of the North Mirror in misery.

The rest is not over, and the emperor's desk is already full of large and small pieces, but the frustrated Hubu Shangshu in the court says that he is sick at home. Seeing the blood-dripping words, the emperor did not dare to criticize them at will. The beam, which has been smooth for several years, ushered in a heavy snow that has been difficult to achieve in a century.

The father and son of the royal study looked at the mountains of twists and turns. The emperor suddenly asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

The prince was about to speak, and the king of Qi stepped forward and said: "Sanzhou has encountered wind and snow, and it is difficult for the people to survive the cold winter. In urgent need of wrapping clothes for warmth, Erchen felt that it was urgent to allocate a large amount of supplies for disaster relief. An upright officer is appointed, with the assistance of a local officer. ”

The emperor's face did not improve, and the matter was not so simple. After thinking about it carefully, the prince said: "Brother Qi has considered that after the heavy snow, the ancients said that the snow is a good year. Have you ever thought that the heavy snow is not terrible, and Brother Wang of Qi said that he only needs to send an upright official to send the cotton clothes charcoal fire to each family. It can be seen how much one million households in the three states need, and now half of the treasury is used to support the eight arsenals in Nanjing. Moreover, how can such a large amount of cotton charcoal be distributed to the people, and who among the officials will make a fortune from it? In addition, the heavy snow cannot melt before planting, and the people of the three states miss the agricultural time. The north is not as good as the south, and missing the agricultural season may lead to no harvest, and the imperial court will have grain relief after the autumn. ”

"My father, the emperor, and his sons and ministers have been going through the classics of various dynasties with their subordinate officials for days, and there will be great floods after the great cold. Heavy snow in the north and a great possibility of a once-in-a-century flood in the south, and it is urgent to open a court to discuss this matter with the ministers. Yesterday, I have heard that the north wind is blowing, the children's hands are cracking, the snowflakes are like flatbreads, they are cold in their hands, and they are not hungry when swallowed. Whirring and blowing, whirring and blowing, the bed is made on the ground, the snow is made of the quilt, when will there be new clothes. The wind blows, the old woman weaves snow for clothes, and the child wears a warm body, blowing away the old clothes to make new clothes. ”

As he spoke, he immediately knelt down on his knees and said, "I implore my father to stop the construction of the South Mirror first, and let the people survive the disaster year first." ”

The most infuriating thing is not that there is no good solution to the natural disaster so far, and the recital that came to the history of the Wenzhou assassin in his hand was actually a month ago. After all, the crown prince did not govern the country, and many of the pieces were sent to the East Palace after passing through the emperor. Such an important piece of music actually arrived in the hands of the emperor today, and the heavy snow closure of the road is indeed a good excuse. It was only a month ago that the heavy snow had just begun, and there was still time to remedy it, and no one had mentioned it for a full month.

glanced sideways at King Qi, his eyes showing a disappointed expression. The command said: "Yin'er get up, tomorrow the dynasty needs to draw up a disaster relief process." Let's talk about the snow disaster first, wait for the South Mirror Arsenal first, and don't mention it until necessary. ”

The snow disaster is already urgent, the emperor is actually just opening the dynasty tomorrow, and what happened in it is not mentioned, and the prince can't help but feel a kind of disappointment. Today is no longer suitable for deliberations, and the crown prince Qi left the imperial study together. Before he had gone far, the prince said: "Brother Qi Wang's means are all over the sky, and he can press the music until now. ”

Suddenly, his face changed suddenly, since the prince can know that his father may not know. I never thought that such a big thing would happen with just a heavy snowfall. Heavy winter snow on the northern border is very common, but the weather is cold and the weather is cold. It's just that I didn't think that although the land of Sanzhou is in the north, it is extremely far away from the border, and it can even be said that it is rare to see such a snowy grassland, let alone the Central Plains.

King Qi snorted coldly and strode away, and the prince only shook his head and turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

It was already dusk when I watched the recitals of the magistrates and ministers of the three states, and except for a few small things, more than 80 recitals turned out to be the snow disaster in the three states. The Tobu Zhao Shilang is more than ten books of music, and it is simple and clear to tell how much silver there is in the treasury to take out disaster relief, and the last book is similar to what the prince said, and there is no indication that the Nanjing Arsenal is being suspended, and the weight is also being reduced.

After reading the concert in a hurry and not replying, this is no longer an option to approve and reject, and I have a splitting headache. Gonggong Wei stepped forward to put on a cloak for the emperor, and the emperor looked up and said, "Where are you going to Concubine Xin today." ”

The wind was hunting, and the palace was pitch black. The middle-aged eunuch wrapped in a thick cotton robe walked in front with a lantern, and Gonggong Wei deliberately walked on the side near the emperor, trying to block his body from the wind and snow. The eunuchs behind the emperor bent slightly, and a few of them trembled.

The lights in the house that crossed the temple gate were still on, and the emperor looked up at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky without fear of the wind and snow. In ancient and modern times, there are many poems about snow, and the beauty of snowflakes is described into three parts. Only no one wrote that the snowflakes were so heavy that they could not breathe.

The emperor kept silently reciting the ballad that the prince said that everyone in Wenzhou was silently reciting, and then he stepped through the palace gate. The Emperor paused and held on to the threshold with one hand, looking at the moonless but empty sky. At this time, the sky is not a crystal snowflake, but a sharp blade falling from the sky, and a piece of snowflake cannot cut through the brocade cloak. The snowflakes are not heavy, but they are heavier than boulders, and they can't move when they weigh on their hearts.

Gently silently recited: "The wind blows, the old woman weaves snow to make clothes, and the child wears a warm body, blowing away the old clothes to make new clothes." "Snow-white new clothes are beautiful, how can you get into a shabby cotton clothes in the cold winter to warm.

A cold wind blew, and the bright lanterns kept shaking. The clothes hunted, and a little light in the night was extinguished. The lantern eunuch trembled and immediately knelt down. The thick snowflakes on their backs made the strong eunuchs unable to stand upright, and the eunuchs knelt on their knees. People die like lights go out, and it is the most taboo to turn off the lights when they carry a lamp.

Seeing this situation, Gonggong Wei knew very well how His Majesty could care about these things now, and stepped forward to hold up the back of the emperor's cold hand. said: "Your Majesty's weather is cold, please go back to the house to rest." ”

The emperor ignored it, and a young eunuch immediately got up and slapped the golden clothes white. The emperor walked towards the palace, and the eunuch with the lantern saw the eyes of Duke Wei and immediately re-lit the lamp. But how could any bit of fire be useful in the cold wind, and more than a dozen eunuchs gathered in a circle to re-illuminate the candle flame in a snow-white patch. His Majesty the Emperor is no longer visible, so that he can see shallow footprints.

Not far from the door here, the two palace maids were already waiting. Gonggong Wei removed the wrinkled back of his hand, and the palace maid took off his cloak for the emperor and patted away the ice and snow attached to his body. Walking into the warm room, I didn't hear the sound of the piano, but I saw two braziers to warm the room.

The old man in his fifties is less strong, and at this time he is more like a husband who needs to be appeased. The palace maid, who was not too young, shouted softly in the curtain, and the emperor stepped forward to look at Concubine Xin, who was covered with two quilts. There is no longer the beauty of his youth, and he closes his eyes and sleeps quietly. It was as if the whole world was silent at this time, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Concubine Xin, who has been getting weaker and weaker since the beginning of winter, has never stepped out of the door, and there is no clear sound of the piano in the palace.

Ordered all the palace maids to retreat, and the emperor stood in front of the window to watch his beloved woman, and just lay on the bed and slept quietly. The flustered heart is perhaps the calmest at the moment, reaching out to touch the warm cheek. Said softly: "You are still so moving. "Who has ever seen such a gentle Emperor Your Majesty.

Concubine Xin, who felt a hint of coolness, opened her eyelids in the city and squinted her eyes to enjoy a hint of coolness. Looking at the sleeping concubine, it seems that nothing in the world is more important than the woman in front of her.

Concubine Xin stretched out her white jade hand, wanting to touch her husband with a cold air. The emperor couldn't help but withdraw his cold hand, Concubine Xin grabbed the back of the emperor's hand and put it on her face and said, "Is Your Majesty still cold?" ”

Hurriedly stuffed Concubine Xin's arm into the quilt and said, "Sleep well, it's warm in the quilt." The two looked at each other, a pair of gentle eyes.

Looking at the much older emperor, Concubine Xin showed a warm gaze. The slight cough caused the emperor to be anxious, and he quickly lifted the quilt with both hands and pulled it up. After a few words, she sat at the head of the bed and watched quietly, Concubine Xin suddenly asked, "Does Your Majesty believe in this life and the next life?" ”

The emperor did not reply, but said, "Don't be cranky, the most important thing is to take care of your body." The corners of Concubine Xin's mouth rose slightly, the most beautiful love words in the world are not the mountains and sea vows, as long as you are around, it is the most beautiful love words.

The two looked at each other quietly, and the emperor stood up and said, "Concubine Ai, take care of your body, I won't stay tonight." Saying that she was about to leave, Concubine Xin reached out and grabbed her thick hand, and found that this hand was not strong, and her skin was much looser, after all, they were all old people.

When the emperor turned his head, Concubine Xin asked, "Is it that Kun'er has made a mistake?" ”

Seeing that Concubine Xin, who was seriously ill, she was really reluctant to worry about the affairs of Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, and said, "No, I just want to see if Concubine Ai's health is improving tonight." Tomorrow, I will ask the imperial doctor to make more medicine to nourish the body, and Concubine Ai will definitely get better. As he spoke, he put his weak arm into the quilt, and at this moment, he could feel the strength of his warm arm, which was so small.

Leaned down and said a few words and turned to leave, leaving a tear in the corner of Concubine Xin's eye lying in the quilt. "Your Majesty, you can actually say it." I can't say whether I am happy or sad in my heart, Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, has never made a lot of mistakes, and he rarely disciplines himself. Five years ago, he fell ill and recalled the King of Qi from Beijing, and he was not the only son who was afraid of his own worries if he could have such prestige in the court. He closed his eyes and said, "Pingyin, you've done enough." ”

The emperor who crossed the threshold has not left for a long time, and the wind and snow are heavy, how can he be as heavy as his heart. Looking at the snowflakes in the sky, he shouted softly: "Only the last step is missing, can't the heavy snow come later?" I have been waiting for the current Liang for dozens of years, don't you give me a chance to see the land of the Central Plains to return to unification? ”

Back at King Qi's mansion, King Qi smashed everything that could be dropped in the house to the ground. Kneeling down a servant, a man in brocade in his thirties clenched his fists tightly. I never thought that a heavy snow would cause such a catastrophe, and the Heavenly Palace was not beautiful. Originally, it was a wonderful move by King Qi to move to the crown prince, and it evolved into such a look.

King Qi angrily reprimanded: "Zhou Jin, didn't you say that the heavy snow will stop in a few days, now the heavy snow in Sanzhou has collapsed the houses, and the people have no place to live, no firewood, and no clothes." A mouthful of hot soup can kill a person, this is still what you said about how a small snowflake can crush a person. Do you know that in Wenzhou, where the snow disaster is most severe, there has been a scene where heavy snow has crushed the big trees, and there are no giant trees in a forest. The land of the three states is full of grievances, and coal has been better than gold. ”

Zhou Jin, who clenched his fists, said with blood overflowing from his palms: "Your Highness, now you can only deal with the snow disaster quickly, and maybe you can save some of the situation." Before he finished speaking, King Qi was furious and smashed the seat with a punch.

Originally, it was thought that it was just a heavy snowfall, and even if there was a disaster, it was only a small number of people. As long as the chapter is suppressed and sent to the crown prince in the open dynasty, although the matter is not big, it is not good for the prince to supervise the country. The king of Qi took advantage of the situation and easily pacified the snow disaster, which was not a great achievement, at least it could make the prince who was in charge of the country speechless, and those wavering courtiers could see the prince's incompetence even more.

Now that the matter has become irreparable, so that the master has stabbed the emperor into the hands of the emperor, it no longer matters who is holding the concerto.

Blood dripped from his fist and said: "It's good that Zhou Jin can be comforted smoothly by the snow disaster this time, if you can't appease this king, you will die." ”

Zhou Jin got up and said: "Your Highness, the snow disaster is secondary, and the tribulation in Sanzhou will begin after the beginning of spring." Whether the snow melts or not will affect spring ploughing, and Your Highness should be prepared now. Heating is a top priority, and there will be a shortage of food after the snowstorm. His Royal Highness drafted the chapter first, and the imperial court prepared food for the affected states and counties, and the Qi Wangfu should also spend all the money to buy food. ”

Looking at Zhou Jin again, King Qi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he hurriedly helped Zhou Jin up. said: "At this time, it is up to you to do it, and the officials who fought for this disaster relief in your father must come from the Qi Palace." ”

Zhou Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied immediately.
