Seeing that it is almost December, Chang'an City finally ushered in the first snow, and many people are worried that they will not be able to plant in spring next year without snow in one winter.

After a few days of cloudiness, this morning the sky finally began to fall with heavy snow, and seeing the fierce snow, Li Chengqian could not help but worry about whether the thatched houses of the poor families in the city could hold up.

In the Zhenguan years, the world was initially determined, people's production level is very low, an acre of land can produce two loads of grain a year (196 catties), which is already a bumper harvest, but a person in a farming time is at most half a month (24 solar terms and half a month) how much land can be planted, and how many crops can be harvested? It seems to be an era of strong soldiers, but the common people are really hard.

However, Li Chengqian could not go out again, and it was already in November 20, and Li Shimin was about to return to the palace from Lishan.

And the rehearsal of "Renshou Palace" is basically completed, although Li Chengqian looks full of loopholes, but the people who have seen the East Palace and Chongxian Hall are fascinated and deeply educated.

Wei Zheng wanted to invite all the ministers and magnates of Chang'an City to his house to watch this play at home before he died, and Li Chengqian knew that Wei Zheng was making final arrangements for the future of him and the Tang Dynasty.

It stands to reason that it is not his turn to do these things as a courtier, but Wei Zheng, who is still lying on the sickbed in history, is using his last strength to make arrangements for this young empire.

Just like Li Shimin couldn't look down on Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng couldn't look down on Li Shimin, and he had been a monarch and minister for more than ten years, Wei Zheng was still not at ease with Li Shimin, so he wanted to do everything he could to stabilize Li Chengqian's position.

Especially when Wei Zheng saw Li Chengqian's changes, he was ecstatic, so he was willing to put the future of the Wei family on Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin was reluctant to see Li Chengqian's condolences to the disabled soldiers, but Wei Zheng would send Wei Shuyu to the East Palace every night to sort out Li Chengqian's travel records with Hao Chujun, and then copy a copy and read it to him at home.

These days, in addition to condolences to the disabled soldiers, Li Chengqian is busy with the internal integration of the East Palace, and he almost never pays attention to it in the court, but Li Tai and his party can only sit in the main hall in a daze and be silent when they are suppressed, and Wei Zheng is indispensable.

Xu Jingzong took people to the Wei Mansion to set up a stage yesterday, Wei Shuyu was already writing an invitation, Li Chengqian saw that the soldiers of the East Palace were almost trained, and he was about to take Xue Rengui to the east and west cities of Chang'an City to have a look.

After Wei Zheng's house sang "Renshou Palace", he was going to open at the same time in the east and west cities, and sing it for free to the people of Chang'an City until the New Year.

Suddenly received an invitation from Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li Chengqian was very surprised. Now that both sides have made it clear that the chariots and horses are going to fight, Li Tai also invited him to go to the First Snow Poetry Meeting, and also sent someone to explain that this time the First Snow Poetry Meeting will invite the vassal kings and princesses in Beijing to go, and everyone will enjoy the snow and compose poems together.

Poetry? Li Chengqian smiled, no matter what Li Tai's plans are, he is not an opponent when composing poems, isn't there 300 Tang poems that can't be written and can be chanted?

But wouldn't it be a shame to go by himself, would he ambush the axe or poison the food?

"Reply to them, the lonely king will not go tomorrow if he has something to do, and invite everyone to the East Palace for a banquet another day." Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said.

Li Tai didn't care when he heard that Li Chengqian didn't come, and continued to prepare for his poetry meeting, anyway, as long as he made a good poem that caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

Although the time is relatively tight, it is still very easy to hold such a victory with the manpower and financial resources of the Wei Palace.

The next day, the snow in Chang'an City fell more and more, after a night of leisurely throwing, Chang'an City has become a white expanse, and the sky is still floating jade Feiqiong without any endless meaning.

Li Chengqian stood in front of the Lizheng Hall and looked at the 'ground white, the wind was cold, and the snowflakes were as big as hands. 's scenery is more worried about heavy snowfall.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Qiu Shenji asks to see you."

Li Chengqian came back to his senses and said, "Let him in." ”

Li Chengqian turned around and walked into the main hall, sat down and waited for the achievements of the gods.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Qiu Shenji said expressionlessly.

"Hmm," Li Chengqian motioned for him to continue.

"Today's people who went to Furong Garden include His Royal Highness King Wu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Han, and among the princesses are Princess Changle, Princess Xincheng, Princess Gaoyang, ......"

"Who among the ministers went?"

"There are Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Zhishi, Liu Shenzheng, Wei Huangmen, Lu Shilang, and some bachelors from Hongwen Hall."

"What time is it now?" Li Chengqian still can't tell how the twelve hours correspond to the twenty-four hours in his previous life.

"It's early noon." A little eunuch hurriedly told him.

"Prepare the car and drive to the Hibiscus Garden."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already replied yesterday that he can't go, and now we should all have a banquet when we go to the place." The old ghost hurriedly reminded.

"When is the Lone King going to care about him!" Li Chengqian decided to be a villain.

The car was ready for a while, and I came to invite Li Chengqian to get into the car.

Li Chengqian walked to the door and said to the old ghost: "Bring some bean sprouts from us, and let Xue Rengui drive for the lonely king." ”

There is nothing that the East Palace does not know about the relationship between the East Palace and the Wei Palace, so Li Chengqian's preparations for this trip are extraordinarily sufficient. The honor guards totaled 3,000 people, and they marched to the Wei Palace.

In a hall near the pond in the Hibiscus Garden, there were several young men and women, and two of them sat at the bottom and chatted with the three women above.

The beauty of these five women, the handsome men of the men, looked very eye-catching together, and the first two women kept smiling and watching the woman on the far right talking to the man below her.

They are Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Su, the king of Shu, and the princess of Changle, the princess of Xincheng, and the princess of Gaoyang.

The three princesses are indistinguishable from each other in appearance, but Princess Changle and Princess Xincheng have gentle personalities and quiet temperaments, which are obviously different from Princess Gaoyang, who has a single phoenix eye and a heroic face.

"Third brother, do you still want to go to Songzhou after the New Year?" Princess Gao Yang had a loud voice.

"My father didn't remove my errand, and I still have to return to my post after the New Year." Wu Wang Li Ke spoke with a smile and was very fond of Princess Gaoyang.

"The third brother left the capital, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to, or I would go and beg my father to leave the third brother in the capital." Princess Gaoyang's words were very incomprehensible, and she didn't take care of the two sisters next to her.

"Father Gao Yang is busy now, don't always bother your father, if you have nothing to do in the capital, go out of Beijing for a walk." Li Ke, the king of Wu, really thinks about Gao Yang, and now that the East Palace and the King of Wei are in full swing in the capital, he will not stay in the capital.

"The third brother, Changle, Xincheng, Gaoyang, and the sixth brother have a banquet, so come with me to the main hall." The pot-bellied Lee Tae walked in, his big ass full of smiles.

Several people hurriedly got up to greet them, and when they walked to the door, Li Ke deliberately asked, "Didn't Qingque invite His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"The invitation I sent with you yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he couldn't come today because of something." Li Tai said it very simply.

"In the past few days, the poems of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been spread everywhere in the capital, and I wanted to see His Royal Highness the Prince's demeanor today, but I didn't come." Li Ke said with regret on his face.

"I still know who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked to write for him in that poem, and you believe it, third brother?" Gao Yang didn't care about authenticity.

"I'll just say, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince write such a good poem!" Li Su on the side also seemed to have found the answer.

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person, let's go to the front!" Li Ke hurriedly changed the topic.

Li Tai led the way in front with embarrassment on his face.

The faces of Princess Changle and Princess Xincheng, who were walking behind, were also dark, Li Chengqian was their eldest brother, the most filial to the Empress of Changsun, and he had been very good to them since he was a child.

Hearing Gao Yang say this, Li Chengqian, they were naturally unhappy, but they were gentle and unwilling to compete with her, so they all went to see Li Tai, but saw that Li Tai didn't seem to hear it, but it was King Wu who said something.

The two of them were gloomy, and it seemed that brothers were inevitably fighting.

A few people had just walked to the main hall where the banquet was held and had not yet sat down, when suddenly a little eunuch came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince's car is almost at the main gate, and a message is sent to Li Tai to pick up the car." ”

Li Tai's face instantly darkened.
