When the cold snap from Siberia swept across the entire land of Guanzhong, a continuous snowfall, although not very heavy, showed no signs of becoming a snow disaster, but it also changed many things.

First of all, Yang Jun of Tongguan, who couldn't stand the harsh cold, struggled a little, and used up the siege equipment he had built to deal with the matter, so he withdrew to Hongnong.

No way, for nature, human beings are still too small, especially after the temperature plummets, not only to consider the increase in the consumption of grain and grass, but also to prepare warm firewood and other things at all times, for the army in the field, it is simply a nightmare.

Originally, Zhao Wen was planning to do some actions with a time difference before winter came, but he didn't expect that he would become a victim of the time difference.

The second is Xia Mu, after receiving the express gift sent by Fei Qian, he almost did not hesitate, he evacuated the Chang'an area and retreated to Wugong County......

The war came to a standstill, and a long march in the field before the appearance of warm cotton was an act of seeking death.

Even in the house, a lot of heating is needed, and charcoal is the first to bear the brunt. Of course, charcoal is a good thing, there are good and bad, the good one is called silver charcoal, after ignition, it not only burns evenly, but the key is that there is not much smoke and fire, which is most suitable for noble people to use, and the poor one is called broken charcoal, which is not only easy to be wet, but also smokes and chokes.

Even so, under the severe cold, in winter, not only the so-called silver charcoal, but even ordinary charcoal, has become a scarce item in the same way......

Then, driven by this demand, a large number of trees are cut down and used to burn charcoal. In the early Han Dynasty, the Guanzhong was cut, and now the Heluo is chopped, and under the clanging bell, the vegetation that was originally lush has been reduced day by day.

Just like in today's Luoyang City, although there are many charcoal-burning kilns, the charcoal is still not enough.

“…… Your Majesty, it's freezing this day, so the old slave should raise a brazier......" In the renovated palace in Luoyang City, a eunuch said with a slight trembling.

Although Liu Xie tightened the clothes on his body, he shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary...... There's not a lot of charcoal, so let's keep it for the night......"

The old eunuch knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The old slave should die!" The old slave is incompetent! I can't even get some charcoal, so that Your Majesty will have to suffer from this severe cold......"

Liu Xie waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, the consumption of charcoal in this winter is already large, and it is normal for a temporary shortage to be ......" Although he said that, no matter how short he was, normally there would not be a shortage on the emperor's head.

Therefore, this is not something that the old eunuch can control, but it is obvious that the old eunuch still thinks that this is his guilt, and he can't stop making amends.

Liu Xie sighed, but didn't say anything.

The cold wind in winter is very harsh, but what is even more harsh is the human heart. Everything that I once thought was now a cold reminder to myself that not all people should be kind to themselves, and those who are not called subjects of the Han Dynasty in the world are really their own subjects......

"Your Majesty, Dong Guanglu asks to see ......" A small yellow door reported outside the main hall.

"Xuan." Liu Xie subconsciously tidied up his clothes, and then walked to the front hall.

Most of the original palaces in Luoyang City have been destroyed, and now the palace here is thanks to Dong Cheng, a doctor of Guanglu, who took a group of craftsmen to work and repaired them in a hurry.

Of course, this is not to say how much Dong Cheng cares, from one aspect, Dong Cheng and Yang Biao had some conflicts before, if he didn't hug Liu Xie's thighs tightly, I'm afraid there would be no place to accommodate him, and on the other hand, Dong Cheng's daughter was a nobleman in the palace, and this time after coming to Luoyang from Chang'an, she was promoted to the concubine position by repairing the palace.

Dong Cheng is a person, for Liu Xie, he can be regarded as a family member......

"See Your Majesty!"

Dong Cheng stepped forward to greet him, and then motioned for the eunuch to deliver the gift he brought.

Liu Xie couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw the snow-white and plush mass on the lacquer plate.

"This garment was offered by General Zhengxi...... It is called silver thread clothes, silk like silver thread, soft as silk thread, it is made of hundreds of white sheep on the purest white hao, finely woven and worn on the body, can withstand the cold, it is a rare good product......"

Dong Cheng lowered his head and said, in fact, there was some reluctance in his heart. After all, such a pure white sweater is indeed unseen, and the one brought to him by General Zhengxi's envoy is generally white, but it is slightly yellowish, and it is not as soft as this one.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand and touched the "silver threaded clothes", and suddenly felt the softness and warmth brought by the fine sweater, and immediately couldn't help but show a smile, "This...... General Zhengxi, you have a heart...... But why was it sent by Aiqing, the envoy of General Zhengxi? ”

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the general of Zhengxi, originally wanted to meet Your Majesty and present this ......thing in person," Dong Cheng said, "It's just that after arriving in Luoyang, there is neither a post house nor a ration of food and grass...... Now the situation in Luoyang City, presumably His Majesty also knows...... Therefore, after waiting for many days, the envoy of the general of Zhengxi was also exhausted of money, and he had no food and clothing, so he could only entrust Weichen to pass on this thing, and then return to the north......"

Many of the cities in Luoyang City were destroyed by fire, and after a long period of unattended state, many places were overgrown with weeds, and now the main roads have only been cleared out, and there are many places that have not been completely sorted out, even Dong Cheng actually does not have a proper mansion now, but found a relatively intact house in Anping on the edge of the North Palace and settled down.

Of course, there are still many officials who do not have a matching house so far, so they can only squeeze each other, or more miserable, they can only find a place to live in the broken walls.

In such a situation, the post house or something is a secondary and secondary matter, and there are so many officials in Luoyang City who can't live and haven't been fully allocated, how can they free up their hands to give Feiqian's envoy a high-standard treatment?

"So ......" Liu Xie could only sigh lightly when he heard this.

Dong Chenggong arched his hand and said, "...... Your Majesty originally had a number of cast iron in the city, and he wanted to refine the plow, plow, cho and other things, but he never thought that when Weichen went to check it yesterday, he had all of them diverted for other purposes, resulting in a shortage of equipment in the city, and the cleaning was slow......"

Liu Xie frowned and said, "Divert it for other purposes?" ”

Dong Cheng looked left and right, and saw that there were no other personnel near Zuo, so he whispered: "...... When the minister heard that Yang Gong had recruited another 3,000 soldiers...... We are training at the camp in Naksuwon, east of the city......"

"This ......" The wrinkles between Liu Xie's eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow will be the ...... of the New Year," Dong Cheng said, "...... At that time, there will inevitably be officials who will mention this matter...... Your Majesty may wish to ......"

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, but shook his head.

Dong Cheng said: "...... Only one minister will be impeached...... Your Majesty, I heard about it yesterday...... Wang Zhongxuan died...... "Dong Cheng saw that Liu Xie was a little hesitant, so he added a weight to it.

"What?!" Liu Xie's eyes widened and he said, "Why? ”

Dong Cheng said: "Zhong Xuan is stubborn, he only wants to live in the old mansion of the original Wang family, but the wall is broken, and there is no repair, plus the weather is cold and freezing, and there is no charcoal fire...... Yesterday, his friend went to the king's house to look for him, but he died in the snowy night......"

Liu Xie was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I vaguely remember that the first emperor once feasted the ministers in front of the Taiji Palace, and Wang Zhongxuan was brilliant and talented, and he was praised by all sides...... Now, it's a swan song...... Tomorrow, I will also be held accountable as a minister......"

"Wen Ruo, how can you be idle today, to find this idle person?" Guo Jia held a small wine gourd, half-spread and leaned on the cushion, even in the severe winter cold, he was wearing a wide robe, opening his chest, revealing a somewhat skinny chest, and said with a little comfortable sipping of wine.

Xun Yu frowned when he heard this: "Fengxiao, could it be that you eat five stones again?" This substance is distributed and should not be eaten too much. ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Ahhh...... The fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn; There are spirits in the south of Chu, and there are also great chunxi in ancient times...... If you don't eat five stones, even if Zhong Ding, what is the pity? ”

Xun Yu frowned more and more, but did not continue to say anything. As a friend, you also have the responsibility of persuasion, but everyone has their own way of living, and forcing others to live according to their own wishes is actually a kind of torture, so Xun Yu finally sighed and stopped dwelling on this issue.

"Tell me, what?" Guo Jia looked at the sky, felt the burning and stinging sensation like a flame in his abdomen, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, looking very comfortable.

"Your Majesty is ...... to Luoyang" Xun Yu was silent for a moment and said suddenly.

Guo Jia suddenly laughed, laughing so suddenly, he was also a little crazy, snot and tears came out, and then he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve in Xun Yu's dissatisfied gaze, and said with a slight breath: "Heaven is clear, reincarnation is orderly, why should Wen Ruo insist so much?" ”

Even if Xun Yu was sitting, his robe still didn't have many wrinkles, but he didn't think that Xun Yu had any behavior to maintain such a grooming at all, but naturally it was so ordinary, and he said seriously: "The reincarnation of the five elements is the vain words of Fang Shi, how can you believe it?" Now that the society is upside down, and we urgently need the help of our generation, how can we escape with the words of heaven? ”

Guo Jia disagreed, and said: "If today's son is said to be the Son of Heaven, but not the Son of Heaven, why bother? ”

Xun Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "So, what do you do?" ”

"Hahaha......" Guo Jia laughed, then raised the gourd and took another sip, but found that there was not much wine left in the gourd, so he could only shake it a few times, and then stretched out his tongue to lick the last few drops of wine into his mouth, and then said with a little dissatisfaction, "...... If there is a good plan, how can you drink here! ”

"Heavenly Dao! That's it......" Guo Jia threw the gourd into the courtyard, watched the little gourd roll in the courtyard a few times, and then got covered in mud and snow, and then continued, "...... It is impossible to disobey, like an avalanche in a mountain, like water pouring into a river, and such a thing, it is already dirty, how can it be worthy of a great responsibility? ”

Xun Yu watched the gourd rolling in the courtyard, but said: "However, this gourd, there is a lot of things in it, but it can accommodate things, and it will forge ahead, even if it is polluted for a while, it will eventually return to the sun......"

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, frowned, lowered his voice with some puzzlement, and said, "Why are you so eager?" Can you know if it is serious...... It is the time of the break, when the ...... At present, there is still a shortage of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, so why do this plan? ”

"The people of Qingzhou spend more food and grass, and they also need to refine some ......" Xun Yu looked up at the sky above the wall, and said: "In addition, I heard that Yuan Cheqi, well, General Yuan, wants to welcome His Majesty Yu Ye ......"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "General Yuan will never do this!" ”

Xun Yu turned his gaze back, then nodded and said, "I think so too, so I can take something from it......

"Huh?" Guo Jia frowned, and then let go, "...... I see. In this way, there is some kind of merit...... But it's still too hard, too hard......"

Xun Yu said: "That's why a certain person came here to look for you." ”

"Ahh......h......h By the way, I heard that when His Majesty first arrived in Luoyang, there was a shortage of utensils, so he issued an edict to let all places pay tribute? In addition, Yang Gong was at odds with Zhengxi, and he originally wanted to cut down Tongguan, but why did Tianhan temporarily retreat? ”

Xun Yu's eyes lit up and said, "The meaning of filial piety is ......"

"After the spring ploughing, I will do the state of re-enlisting Qingxuzhou to reduce its vigilance...... You can send tribute to Luo, and investigate the virtual and real...... If he raises his army to the west, he will send light horsemen in the name of the false Hu people...... That's it......" Guo Jia said staggeringly, "but General Yuan's ...... Something needs to be done......"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "General Yuan will definitely conquer Youbei again in the coming year...... I think it's going to be fine......"

Guo Jia suddenly snorted, then lowered his voice and whispered, "...... If Ming Gong knew that you were calculating against him, he didn't know how he would ......"

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and said, "If Ming Gong is really a big deal, he must be considerate of him." ”

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, thought about it, nodded, then shook his head again, and said nothing more. Since Xun Yu thinks that his own behavior is the most correct, then so be it, it is meaningless to persuade or reprimand anything.

When it comes to this, there is really nothing to say, so we can only rely on subsequent changes to know whether this behavior is pushing the boat down the river or sailing against the current......

Xun Yu arched his hand, got up and walked a few steps out, but turned back, took out a wine gourd from his sleeve, and then put it next to Guo Jia, and said, "I didn't plan to give it to you...... Yours hobby, it's best to change it slightly, after all, Wushisan is something taken by immortals, you and I are mortals, and eating too much hurts the body...... I don't want ...... Forget it, I'll talk about it next time......"

After speaking, Xun Yu left. Even if he is walking, Xun Yu's figure is still straight, coupled with his handsome face, between his every move, he is naturally romantic, which is really embarrassing......

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's distant figure, then turned his head to pick up the wine gourd, pulled out the gourd's mouth, took a sip, and felt the cold wine flowing down until it flowed into the abdomen, and then slowly took a breath, watching the white smoke mixed with the wine dissipate in the air, and then said faintly: "You persuade me?" Hehe, I want to say that if you don't change, you will also lose on this sooner or later......"
