The days of running between Shangshu Province and his family are very fulfilling.

Shangshu Province is official business, Li Su had to respond, and at home, there is a little princess pestering him to play east and west, running for more than ten days, Li Su sadly found that he has not been lazy for a long time, life is really busy like a dog.

Out of the first month, the atmosphere in Shangshu Province became inexplicably tense, and everyone had a bit of solemnity on their faces, and even an official like Li Su was very slow to find out that something seemed to have happened.

At the beginning of February, Li Shimin urgently summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and other important ministers.

Running back and forth between Shangshu Province and the Six Ministries, Li Su found that the officials of the Six Ministries were also very dignified, and the pace of officials coming and going to the government offices was a little faster than usual, from the three provinces to the six departments, the atmosphere of all the government offices in Chang'an was very heavy and depressing.

Li Su has always been very slow about political affairs, he actually doesn't like politics very much, so although he was appointed as the governor of Shangshu Province, he has the right to participate in political affairs, and he has the right to open all the official letters to and from the first glance, but he rarely takes the initiative to look at it, since taking office, his position is not very industrious courier, carrying the official letter back and forth between Shangshu Province and the six departments, and shouting at the door that so-and-so has your courier, and came down to sign Yunyun.

But this time, Li Su clearly noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, so for the first time, he took the initiative to open an official letter handed to Shangshu Province from the sixth department, and glanced at it cursoly, and couldn't help but gasp.

Since the beginning of winter last year, there have been four snow disasters in Guannei, Hebei, Hedong and Shannan. The amount of snow is so large that it is rare in a hundred years, and before the New Year's Day of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, there is still heavy snow in each road, freezing tens of thousands of farmers and livestock, and crushing more than forty percent of the houses. Freezing to death frostbite population of 10,000 people, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the heavy snow has been accumulated for a long time, and it seems that spring sowing is about to begin, and the heavy snow is still falling in many places, making spring sowing hopeless, the land vitality is cut off, and the hearts of farmers in all walks of life are gradually in chaos.

Li Su carefully read the official letter several times. His expression suddenly became solemn.

Daddy Li Daozheng's eyes are really vicious, and he insisted more than 20 days ago that this year would be a disaster year, because the weather is too evil, Guanzhong has never seen such a big snow, nor has he seen snow for so long, and now he is really unfortunate to say it.

What does a disaster mean?

It means that spring sowing is hopeless, the fields are exhausted, and the farmers have no food. They had to become refugees, and thousands of lives were destroyed by starvation. Since ancient times. Refugees are the most pitiful, but also the most terrible and difficult to control, and what is the most fundamental reason for the countless uprisings and changes of dynasty in history? Hungry.

It is no wonder that the courtiers of the three provinces and the six departments looked nervous and the atmosphere was solemn. Everyone is like a great enemy, for the rule of the Li family's dynasty, the disaster in the world is the catastrophe of the Li family, and they can only do their best to survive safely.

Closing the official letter, Li Su also cheered up.

Don't say high-sounding words such as the rise and fall of the world. Just with the conscience that has never been extinguished in his heart, today's special period does not allow him to be lazy and slippery.

Hurriedly walking into the Lizheng Palace, Li Su turned around and entered the room where Fang Xuanling was working in the side hall, Fang Xuanling was sweating on his forehead, staring at a huge sheepskin map with an anxious face, his fingers kept scratching something on the map, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.

"Fang Xiang, the official letter from the household department is here, and the county order of the eleven counties of Shannan Province is urgently submitted......" Li Su handed him the official letter, Fang Xuanling snatched it with his hand, and after a cursory sweep, his face suddenly became more and more sad.

Arching his hand, Li Su said: "Fang Xiang, I don't know the snow disaster inside and outside the Guan......"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling waved his hand: "Zizheng has something to say later, the old man wants to enter the palace." ”

After speaking, Fang Xuanling held the official letter, hurriedly walked out of the Lizheng Palace, and walked in the direction of the inner palace.

****************************************************

The leisurely days suddenly became tense, and the monarchs and ministers in the court were busy, and for three days in a row, countless official letters entered Chang'an quickly, and soon there were countless wills and decrees quickly out of Chang'an, and they came and went in a hurry.

In the face of the sudden disaster, the rhythm of the rotation of the machine of the Tang Empire accelerated in vain, not only the frequent allocation of grain and grass, but even the Zuolongwu army of the North Gate Garrison outside Chang'an City, a total of 15,000 horsemen, also quietly pulled out the camp and left Beijing in the starry night, and galloped towards the east of the river.

Li Su knew exactly what he was going to do with the army. From the standpoint of the ruler, the first thing to do with the refugees is to save them, first to control their stomachs, not to guarantee whether they will have enough to eat, but not to starve to death, and secondly, before the grain and grass have time to reach the disaster area, the soldiers and horses must first suppress the scene, otherwise if there is a riot and riot and cannot be suppressed, it will cause big trouble.

A few days passed, and the busy court seemed to become busier, Li Su obviously noticed that the atmosphere in the court was more depressed, and the official letters sent to the Taiji Palace and the three provinces one after another made the faces of the monarchs and ministers frosty, and it was obvious that the succession was not good news.

On the tenth day of February in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, a bad news finally detonated the Taiji Palace.

Located in Jinyang, Hedong Road, the land of Gaozu Longxing, the Jinyang Palace built by the Li family was crushed by the heavy snow more than ten palaces, crushed and injured countless eunuchs and palace maids, and when the people of Jinyang were panicked and at a loss, there were rumors that "the Li family is bad, stealing the country in vain, fratricidal, and finally causing heaven's curse".

As one of the disaster areas in Jinyang, the people in the jurisdiction were panicked, and it was self-evident how powerful the rumors that pointed to the Li family dynasty were.

Li Shimin and the courtiers finally couldn't sit still, and if they didn't take measures, they would make a big mess!

…………

Li Su didn't sleep well for a few days in a row, these **** didn't go home, he stayed in Shangshu Province day and night, and sometimes he couldn't sleep all night, countless official letters and snowflakes flew into Shangshu Province, and Li Su didn't even have time to sleep.

The little son has been sent back to the palace by Li Shimin, and during the extraordinary period, Li Shimin naturally did not worry about throwing the little son at the Li family.

Early in the morning, Li Su rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the first thing he saw after opening his eyes was a tired official letter like a hill, Li Su couldn't help sighing, and when he sat up, he felt that his waist and neck were extremely sore.

In Shangshu Province these days, there are courtiers working overtime everywhere inside and outside, Li Su has the youngest official position, and he is embarrassed to grab the bed with those officials when he is tired, so he has to find a place that is pleasing to the eye and lie down, squint, take a nap, and make do with rest.

Yawning, Li Su straightened his official robe, and was about to ask the handymen outside to fetch water and wash him, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps from under the verandah of the hall.

Li Su's heart tightened, and he looked up, but saw a eunuch in a purple official robe standing outside the palace gate, and raised his voice indifferently: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanjing County Marquis, Shangshu Provincial Governor Li Su Ganlu Hall to meet you-" (To be continued.) )
