Li Yuanji is very wary of Li Shimin, in addition to the relationship between the two has always been bad, he also knows Li Shimin's character very well, so he has always wondered if Li Shimin really gave up the struggle for the throne, or what other conspiracy he has?

Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuanji's inquiry, but he was silent for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head and said: "I can't see through the second brother's mind, but I can be sure that he is definitely very unconvinced about handing over military power, but he has to bow to me due to the situation, if he is given a chance to regain military power now, he will definitely not let it go!" ”

"That's for sure, the second brother's temperament is like a hungry wolf, if he can't kill him with one blow, he will definitely come back to retaliate when he recovers from his injuries in the future, so ......"

Li Yuanji wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng to consider cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but before he could finish speaking, Li Jiancheng waved his hand and interrupted him: "Fourth brother, you don't have to persuade him anymore, your second brother is indeed unwilling, but after all, he is the brother of our mother, and your third sister will never sit idly by and watch us attack your second brother, and even during this time, the second brother has been running to Li Xiu, I suspect that he is worried that we will kill him, so he ran to Li Xiu, next to your third sister, we have no chance to do it at all!" ”

When he said this, he saw Li Jiancheng pause for a moment and then said: "But the second brother is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, I didn't plan to do anything with him, and now after he hands over the military power, he is like a snake with its fangs removed, only we don't make mistakes, and he has no chance to fight back at all, so we don't need to make trouble to the point of cannibalism!" ”

Li Yuanji heard that Li Jiancheng was still unwilling to get rid of his second brother Li Shimin, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, although he was still a little unwilling, but he knew that it was impossible to persuade his eldest brother to agree to his suggestion, but he did not relax his vigilance against Li Shimin in his heart, and even secretly reminded himself that he must not relax his vigilance against Li Shimin!

Today's snow has been falling non-stop, the next morning when Li Xiu woke up, but found that the snow outside actually blocked the door, until Yuechan and others cleaned up the snow outside did not open the door, yesterday Li Shimin father and son did not go back, because the snow fell too much in the evening, and the snow on the road had not reached the calf, so they all went to Princess Pingyang to rest.

Li Xiu went out and found that all the people in the family were mobilized, Yuechan commanded the people to clean up the snow in the yard, and the fat sister and other guards went to the house and pushed down the thick snow on the roof.

However, Li Xiu was a little worried when he saw this situation, and first called Yuechan to inquire about the situation on the tea workshop, after all, the old house of the tea workshop had been in the house for a long time, and he was worried that it would be crushed by the snow, but Yuechan's answer made him finally put his mind at ease, it turned out that since last night, Qiu Niang and other guards have been on duty at the old mansion, and the snow on the roof will be pushed down every once in a while, so there is no need to worry about the tea workshop.

The tea workshop was fine, Li Xiu finally let go of a piece of his heart, but then he put on his fur coat and went out, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, because he was worried about the situation on the Li family's Zhuangzi's side, you must know that the house where Boss Liu lives is not as strong as his house, and such a big snow is likely to collapse the house.

At that moment, Li Xiu went out of the gate, and a narrow road had been cleared outside the door, barely enough for a person to walk, and he stepped on the snow to come to the Li family Zhuangzi, and found that the Zhuangzi was also a hot scene, both men, women, and children were all mobilized, the men shoveled the snow on the roadside, and the women and the old people used brooms to sweep the remaining snow out, and they not only cleared the snow in the village, but also the snow on the official road leading from the village to the outside was also being cleared.

"Uncle Liu, how is it in Zhuangzi, is there a house that has been crushed by snow?" Li Xiu saw Boss Liu who was working at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to ask, only to see that Boss Liu's strong laborers were all wearing single clothes, with steaming heat on their heads, and it seemed that they had been working for a long time.

"The main family bothered, this year's snow is not falling, this time there is a snow disaster, yesterday I called all the men in the village to clean up the snow on the roof, just like this, it still collapsed a hall of the big eye family, now they can't live anymore, and now their people have dispersed to live in other people's homes!" When Boss Liu saw Li Xiu, he wiped the sweat on his forehead at the moment, and there was a deep tiredness on his face, since he was busy last night until now, even a person like him who is used to working is a little unbearable.

"No one was hurt, was it?" Li Xiu also asked again with concern when he heard this, the house can be built again if it collapses, if people are injured, it will be troublesome, every winter when there is heavy snow, there will always be some rumors of casualties in the nearby villages.

"The big-eyed second boy originally lived in the west room of the hall, and it happened that his room collapsed, but this kid was clever, and when he heard the sound was wrong, he immediately got under the bed, but he didn't suffer too much damage, and his arm was wiped with a few blood marks, which is not a big injury!" Boss Liu replied again, in the past, when encountering this kind of snow disaster, at least a few people in the Zhuangzi had to die, either freezing to death or starving to death, but now they have food in their hands and do not panic, and every family has stored enough food before the winter, so although it is troublesome to encounter this kind of snow disaster, it is nothing.

"It's good that the person is not injured, Uncle Liu, don't be too anxious to clear the snow on the road, go back to rest when you are tired, and wait for me to send something to Uncle Big-eyed!" Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and finally told him with concern, Boss Liu is not too young, and he is really worried that he is tired of his body.

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, this little work is nothing, no matter how tired you are, it can't be as tired as when you are busy with farming, and it will be done quickly, and the women in the Zhuangzi have also cooked hot soup, do you want to stay and eat some together?" Boss Liu knew that Li Xiu definitely didn't eat breakfast, because whenever he encountered rain, snow and wind disasters, Li Xiu would come to inquire as soon as possible, and it was also a blessing for their entire Zhuangzi to meet such a master.

"I want to stay and eat, but I also have to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, and I don't know what happened to the greenhouses there, so I won't eat the rice!" Li Xiu spread his hands at this time and said helplessly, although he was only a name in the Ministry of Agriculture, but when he encountered this kind of catastrophe, he couldn't help but show up, especially Yang Nong was so old, and Wei Zheng was completely gone, so at this time he had to go and see it anyway.

"Well, the business of the main family is important, then I won't keep you!" As soon as Boss Liu heard that Li Xiu was going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, he immediately showed an expression of awe and said, the ordinary people in the Central Plains have always been in awe of the government, and in their eyes, the affairs of the official family are definitely much more important than the affairs of their own family, so they naturally dare not keep Li Xiu anymore, mainly for fear of delaying his affairs.

Li Xiu also immediately said goodbye, and then stepped on the snow to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture is on the edge of the official road, only more than two hundred steps away from Li's Zhuangzi, the snow on this road has been almost cleared, in fact, standing here in Li's Zhuangzi, you can see the outer wall of the Ministry of Agriculture's yamen, but you can't see the situation of the greenhouse inside.

At that moment, Li Xiushen came to the yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, only to see that the originally prosperous small bazaar outside was empty, and even the small shacks that had been built temporarily were almost crushed by the snow.

Li Xiu stepped on the steps to the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture, knocked for a while before hearing footsteps from inside, and then a small official opened the door, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately saluted respectfully and invited him in.

"How is it in the yamen, is the greenhouse in the back okay?" Li Xiu looked at this little official and only felt familiar, although he couldn't name it, but he remembered that he should be someone under Yang Dui, so he immediately asked.

"Don't worry, last night Siqing braved the heavy snow to come to the yamen, and commanded the yamen people to clean up the snow on the greenhouse all night, so the situation in the greenhouse is very good!" The little official replied respectfully, he followed Yang Dui, and often listened to Li Xiu's teachings, and he also admired Li Xiu's erudition very much.

"Wei Zheng is here too?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the news, Wei Zheng concurrently served as Si Nong Siqing, and he was the top boss of him and Yang Nong, but for this top boss, he was full of resentment, because he couldn't find anyone at all when there was something to do, and everything in the Ministry of Agriculture was supported by Yang Nong, and even now Yang Nong was already preparing to resign from the position of the head of the Ministry of Households, and stayed in the Ministry of Agriculture to promote him.

Hearing Li Xiu call Wei Zheng's name, this little official immediately stepped aside with interest and pretended not to hear it, in the entire Ministry of Agriculture, only Li Xiu dared to call Wei Zheng like that, and they all knew that Li Xiu was sent to the Ministry of Agriculture by Wei Zheng, so almost everyone knew that he was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng, even Wei Zheng himself didn't care at all.

Li Xiu really didn't expect Wei Zheng to come to the Ministry of Agriculture at this time, and he heard that the little official said that he came in the heavy snow last night, which was very rare, so he immediately went to the room used by Yang Nong's office, which was called the official room in the words of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, which sounded a little strange, like another name for the latrine, but it was actually the office of later generations.

When he came to Yang Nong's office, Li Xiu just pushed the door open and went in, but he saw Yang Nong come out quickly, and then made a silent gesture to him, but Li Xiu found that there was a person lying on the small bed in Yang Nong's room, this small bed was used by Yang Nong to rest when he was tired, after all, the old man was old, and it was inevitable that there would be times when he was short of energy.

"Huh? Wei Zheng: Why did he sleep here? When Li Xiu saw the person on the bed, he couldn't help but be surprised, it was Wei Zheng who had not been seen for a long time lying on the bed, but at this time he was lying there with a peaceful face, and the snoring sound was continuous, which really made people unable to connect with his usual hardness.

I saw Yang Nong pushing Li Xiu out of the door at this time, and then gently closed the door, and then said with emotion: "It was the second watch last night, Wei Xima suddenly came to the yamen in the heavy snow, and his body was about to be frozen, but after he drank a cup of hot tea to warm up, he personally commanded the people of the yamen to clean up the snow on the greenhouse, and asked me to go back to rest, until I got up this morning, the snow in the yamen was almost cleared, and he was tired and lay down and fell asleep." ”

"That's also how it should be, he usually doesn't see anyone, but today he finally made some efforts for our yamen." Li Xiu didn't have any sympathy when he heard this, although he often didn't come for three or five days, he was definitely much more diligent than Wei Zheng.

"I can't say that, it's understandable that Wei Xima usually doesn't have time to come, after all, he is the prince's henchman, during this period of time, the prince's strength has risen sharply, and it is even more necessary to use people, so Wei Xima must be busy at ordinary times, and don't look at him not coming, but whether our yamen wants money or people, he can help us do it properly, this time in the event of a snow disaster, he also came overnight regardless of his own safety, which shows that he still attaches great importance to the Ministry of Agriculture!" Yang Nong still commented on Wei Zhengdao very fairly, in his opinion, the Ministry of Agriculture was able to get on the right track so quickly, thanks to the conditions that Wei Zheng gave them to fight.

Hearing that Yang Nong also mentioned the fact that Li Jiancheng's strength had risen sharply, Li Xiu also suddenly had an idea, and said to Yang Nong with a smile: "Yang Shangshu, you must know about His Majesty's seizure of the military power in the hands of King Qin some time ago, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”

Yang Lunar has two dynasties, and he can serve as a high-ranking official like Hubu Shangshu, he can definitely be called a tumbler in the officialdom, so Li Xiu wants to hear his opinion on Li Shimin's loss of military power, after all, when it comes to life experience and insight, even if he is a man in two lives, he can't compare to Yang Nong.

"This thing? Hehe~" Yang Nong laughed when he heard Li Xiu's words, and didn't seem to want to express any opinion on this matter.

"Yang Shangshu, we are not outsiders, and I have the same position as you, I am too lazy to care about the affairs between several princes, so it doesn't hurt if you have any high opinions!" Li Xiu asked now, and the more Yang Nong didn't say it, the more interested he became.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Yang Nong pondered for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "Actually, the old man doesn't have any high opinions, but King Qin's sudden abandonment of military power this time is really a bit unexpected, and what the old man didn't expect is that even God is helping King Qin now!"
