As soon as the heavy snow stopped, he received an edict from the East Palace, and it stands to reason that Li Shimin did not issue an order to let the crown prince supervise the country before going to the palace, and the crown prince ordered everyone not to come.

But now that the snow is falling, the emperor's monk Shangshu Zuo Servant is not in the capital, and the other prime ministers can't come up with a solution.

Everyone lives in Chang'an City, so they naturally care about disaster relief, and since someone wants to discuss with everyone, of course they have to hurry up.

However, Li Chengqian's surprise was that Yang Shidao, who was the first to go to the East Palace, was not Yang Shidao, who worked in the Taiji Palace next door, nor Gao Shilian, the right servant of Shangshu who worked in the imperial city, but Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guogong who was at home.

Xiao Yu is a very legendary figure, he is the prince of the Western Liang Dynasty, the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Yuan's cousin-in-law, and Li Shimin's in-laws.

Xiao Yu's sister is the famous Empress Xiao, who grew up with his sister by Sui Yang's side and married Queen Dugu's maiden niece.

After Li Yuan's uprising, he joined the Tang Dynasty and handed over his soldiers and horses to Li Shimin, who Xiao Yu had been persuading Li Yuan to make Li Shimin the crown prince.

After the Xuanwumen Change, Xiao Yu was Li Shimin's confidant and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but because of his narrow-minded personality, Xiao Yu had been dismissed by Li Shimin four times when he was now Zhenguan for 16 years.

Xiao Yu has no great achievements, and his personality is impatient and narrow-minded, and his relationship with his colleagues is tense, and he scolds the three corpses of Li Shimin every time.

But Xiao Yu is very trusted by Li Shimin, he has been dismissed six times in the 20 years of the Zhenguan Dynasty, you must know that he is also the 24th hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and Li Jing, who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, can't get up once again.

Li Chengqian thought about this, and when he heard it, he said that Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, was also here, so he couldn't stop outside, so let's meet him in the side hall first.

Li Chengqian took Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian to wait in the side hall, and after a while, he saw two old men coming together, the two old men were very contrasting, although the two old men were wearing purple official robes and long beards were snow-white. But a tall and mighty, calm step, kind eyebrows and kind purpose as if he was a monk at home to cultivate Buddhism. A shriveled and short, well-mannered, stern and serious-eyed man looked as if someone owed him money.

Li Chengqian learned to be obedient this time, and as soon as the two entered the palace door, they asked Bai Zhou in a low voice which one was Li Jing, although Bai Zhou was puzzled, he still imperceptibly compared the tall one.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The two saluted Li Chengqian at the same time.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The two of you are quickly exempt from the gift. ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" The two old men saluted Li Chengqian again.

Li Jing smiled when he saw the official hat chairs on both sides and sat down, but Xiao Yu frowned and looked at it for a long time before he snorted and sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "The heavy snow has become a disaster, my father and Fang Xiang are trapped in Lishan again, Shangshu Province can't come up with a way now, and the lonely king can't just invite everyone to the East Palace to discuss, it's really ashamed to disturb the two old birthday stars to recuperate!" ”

"The old minister is deeply favored by the country, His Majesty is not in the capital, the country has this disaster, and there is no one available in the court, so the old minister should assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in disaster relief." As soon as Xiao Yu opened his mouth, he said, 'There is no one available in the court', and Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer.

can only look at Li Jing with a "hehe".

Li Jing also smiled awkwardly and said: "Although the old decay is decaying, I am also willing to serve the Prince's Palace in disaster relief." ”

Li Chengqian laughed and said: "The two are indeed virtuous ministers of the country, and I have two pillars of the country in the Tang Dynasty, so the lonely king can rest assured." ”

"Huh?" The two old men were suspicious, what was the prince going to do.

Li Chengqian only thought that he couldn't see it, and continued: "But if you want to drive the two old people, King Gu still doesn't dare, just thinking that now that the snow is closing the road, the father is the most important, and he should immediately send someone to clear the snow on the road, but the father and the emperor can't mobilize the soldiers and horses of the guards in Beijing, and the people in the capital need to save themselves from the disaster, so King Gu wants to borrow some family from the princes and ministers to clear the road from Chang'an City to Lishan and welcome his father back to the palace." ”

Li Jing and Xiao Yu both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Li Chengqian didn't just transfer troops to rebel.

"There are 200 families in the old minister's family, and the generals and 100 families will be handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao Yu quickly replied.

"There are also 500 generals and 50 family members in the old family, and they are also willing to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Jing is also unambiguous.

"Don't worry, you two, clearing the snow is a chore, as long as you are young and strong, don't let them go if they are old and frail, in case they freeze to death and a few are outside. In addition, the two of you are also in Chang'an City, and your family has also suffered a disaster, so you must also leave some people at home to help the disaster. ”

"At this time, it is important to clear the road and welcome back Your Majesty, and put aside everything else, and then talk about how people like us can get by." Xiao Yu didn't care about Dao.

"What about the generals who were sent out, don't send the generals out of the city to clear the snow on the roads, the wives and children of the generals were frozen to death." Li Chengqian emphasized.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured that the old man and the Song Gong's family will not be so harsh." Li Jing said seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just rest assured, I'll go back and send someone to bring the generals and the family to order." Xiao Yu said that he actually stood up and wanted to leave.

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and stopped: "Song Guogong doesn't have to worry, the others haven't come yet, and I don't know if everyone is willing to lend people out!" ”

"The country has encountered such a catastrophe, and it is a big deal to clear the road to welcome His Majesty back to the court, and it is up to them, the old minister wants to see who dares to do it?" Xiao Yu became angry as he spoke, sat down indignantly, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the old minister will look at them today, who dares to disobey His Royal Highness the Prince's order, the old minister, the old minister will reason with him." ”

Li Chengqian really saw Xiao Yu exhaling and exhaling, his beard curled up and up, and he really couldn't see that he was a reasonable person.

No wonder Li Shimin can endure Wei Zheng, but he can't bear Xiao Yu.

But this is also in Li Chengqian's arms, Xiao Yuzi is old, stubborn, loud, scolding, really a good thug.

Li Jing on the side was interested, and when he brought the words to Li Chengqian's condolences to the disabled soldiers and the orphans of the fallen soldiers a few days ago, Xiao Yu also praised Li Chengqian from time to time with a sentence or two.

But after about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and "banged" the table and said loudly: "The old minister and Wei Guogong have been here for a long time, why haven't these people come yet, do they still have the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, do they have His Majesty, and don't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in their eyes?" Xiao Yu turned on the online mode, which made Li Chengqian embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, Hao Chujun came to report.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, His Royal Highness the King of Wu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Han, General Chi, the Duke of Hubei, the right servant of Shangshu shoots Lord Gao, and the Zhongshu Ling Yang ......"

"You're saying who hasn't arrived?" Hao Chujun was rudely interrupted by Xiao Yu after finishing speaking.

"Only His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry have not yet arrived, and General Liu of the Duke of Kui Guo said that he was sick and could not come." Hao Chujun was stunned for a moment and said directly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we won't wait for them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will just give an order later, if they dare to disobey their orders, the old minister will go directly to them." Xiao Yu has a big package.

------------------------

After crossing the Tang Dynasty, many people can always see many celebrities in Chang'an City, these people are very idle, except for drinking, they just want to find a smart person to do business and make money.

But Li Chengqian has been traveling for almost 20 days, and he has not encountered any such things, many generals are not in Chang'an City, and the Tang Dynasty does not have the Great Wall, so they need to go to guard the frontier.

The people in Chang'an City are also very busy, as long as they don't have anything to do, they will definitely not appear casually.

So this time, although Li Chengqian said that he would invite all the high-ranking officials above the third grade in Chang'an City, there were few people.

The main ones are Yang Shidao of Zhongshu Province, Gao Shilian of Shangshu Province and Liu Xun, the governor of Shangshu Province, and the six Shangshu are Hou Junji of the Ministry of Officials, Li Daozong of the Ministry of Rites, Li Shiji of the Ministry of War, Liu Dewei of the Criminal Department, and Du Chuke of the Ministry of Industry have not yet arrived.

The prince in Beijing, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was in Lishan, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, had not yet arrived, only Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Su, the king of Shu, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, had arrived.

The princess's mansion came to more than a dozen concubines, and they could only sit on the side, wait for the results and then execute.

There are three nobles who are idle at home, namely Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and Chi Jingde, the Duke of Hubei.

Li Chengqian sat on it and watched these people all have their own thoughts, and he didn't say much, and said directly: "Now that the snow is in trouble, the imperial court must come up with a disaster relief strategy. ”

This is kind of setting the tone, see what the people below say?

"Although the snow is heavy, the damage situation in various places has not been reported below, and there is no way to be in a hurry." Liu Xun didn't wait for others to open his mouth and pushed back, which seemed reasonable, but in fact he didn't do anything.

"If the disaster is not reported below, won't you send someone to clear the road and welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing?" Xiao Yu was angry as soon as he spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, His Royal Highness the King of Wei came to Jiafu, he wanted to bring the guards into the East Palace, but was stopped by the left and right prison gates, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei had a conflict with the left prison gate, and they were in a stalemate, please ask the Prince to decide." But it was Helan Chushi who came to report in person.

This sentence made everyone in the hall surprised, especially Hou Junji and Li Shiji, Hou Junji thought that if Li Tai made trouble, Li Chengqian would definitely ask him for help, and Li Shiji thought that His Majesty should not have an accident if he was not there!

"Let Xue Rengui go and kill the guards of the King of Wei on the spot, and then lead the King of Wei to Yiqiu Palace to rest." Originally, Li Chengqian had already arranged to detain Li Tai in the East Palace today, but he didn't expect him to make a fuss himself.

Everyone in the main hall was so frightened that their faces turned pale when they heard this, and only Li Jing, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, and Li Shiji heard that Li Chengqian still had room to spare.

"How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do such a cruel and unkind thing?" Liu Xun was startled at first, but when he thought that he was dead anyway, his heart shouted out.

"The heavy snow seals the city, Your Majesty will naturally respect the prince if he is not in Beijing, and the King of Wei should be severely punished if he breaks into the East Palace with his guards."

Xiao Yu's words made everyone's hearts bottomless again, could it be that Xiao Yu and the prince had a conspiracy?
