After a few days of clouds, the clouds finally turned into snowflakes and fell, and the sky and the earth turned into a silvery white almost in the blink of an eye, Li Xiu and Pei Lin rode on this field, enjoying the snow scene while looking at the surrounding terrain.

"The Emperor Taishang really chooses a place, the terrain here is open with mountains and rivers in the background, and there is the potential of an emperor, which is indeed very suitable as an imperial mausoleum!" Pei Lin was wearing a fur coat and praised after looking at the land in front of him. They are now in Sanyuan County near Chang'an, and it is also the location of the imperial mausoleum that Li Yuan has long been in love with, and a few days ago, Li Shimin also officially handed over the matter of Empress Dou's relocation to Li Xiu and Pei Lian, so today they came to see the terrain of the imperial mausoleum in person.

"I don't know much about feng shui, but the people of Qin Tianjian have also come to see it before, and they all say that this place is very suitable, and now it is just the agricultural season, although the cold weather will affect the construction of the imperial tomb, but you can recruit more farmers, I think it is better to let people choose the site and start construction in a few days!" Li Xiu also spoke at this time.

The people of feudal society have labor in their bodies, in fact, they work for the court for free, fortunately, the labor of the Tang Dynasty is not too heavy, and it is generally chosen in the agricultural leisure season, of course, the nobles can be exempted from labor, and you can also take money to offset the labor, but most ordinary people would rather work than take money, poverty is one thing, and the other is idle at home anyway, and when participating in labor, the court sometimes takes care of food.

"I think so too, but I remember that your ancestral home is Sanyuan, right?" Pei Lin first nodded when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then asked him.

"Yes, I am also from the Sanyuan Li family, and there is also the ancestral hall of the Li family here." Li Xiu nodded at this time and said, although he and Li Jing were not in harmony, and even broke off the relationship between father and son, but after all, the background cannot be changed, especially the Sanyuan Li family is also a big surname, and there are usually people from the Sanyuan Li family who visit his house, and it is impossible for him to drive people out.

"Haha, in this way, Sanyuan is really an outstanding person, and he has produced such a talented horse, no wonder the Emperor Taishang will take a fancy to this!" Pei Lin laughed again at this time.

Li Xiu and Pei Lin chatted while walking, and turned around, which can be regarded as keeping the general terrain in mind, of course, the real site selection also needs special officials to be responsible, and they only need to know it in their hearts now.

However, after a turn, the snowflakes falling in the air are getting bigger and bigger, and because this is the first snow of the year, the temperature on the ground is not particularly low, so most of the snowflakes melt after landing, causing the road surface to become a little muddy, and at this time the wind also becomes stronger, and the cold north wind is wrapped in snowflakes and hits people's faces, feeling as if they have been blown by knives.

"Pony, the snow is too big, there seems to be a small town in front, let's go and avoid the snow!" At this time, Pei Lin took the initiative to say, Originally, when they went out this morning, there was no sign of snow, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived in Sanyuan, the snow would fall, and since they came, they didn't run in vain, so they braved the wind and snow to check the terrain.

Li Xiu was also worried that Pei Lin would be too old to stand it, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and at that moment the two of them urged the horses, and galloped away with the officials and guards behind them, and there was a small town that was not very big a few miles ahead, and at the entrance of the town, he saw a big "wine" flag on the eaves in a corner, which was obviously a restaurant.

Li Xiu and Pei Lin and his party came to the door of this restaurant, and they all threw off the saddle and dismounted, but they were startled by the store, and it was probably the first time they saw so many people come to eat, but Li Xiu and they didn't pick, they just wanted a place to shelter from the wind and snow, and there was no one in the restaurant, so they chartered the entire restaurant, everyone went inside, and finally the store moved out a few tables from the back, which made everyone sit down.

Naturally, there are no good wines and good dishes in the rural restaurants, but Li Xiu and they don't pick them, and when the store delivers the wine and food, those guards and small officials also eat a lot, after all, they have walked for most of the day, and it is already past noon at this time, and everyone's stomachs are almost hungry.

Li Xiu doesn't drink, so he asked the store to make a bowl of soup cakes, and Pei Lin chatted while eating country dishes, originally Pei Lin was a good drinker, but he was getting older, and the doctor told him many times not to drink anymore, and he almost died of illness last time, and finally Pei Lin also reluctantly quit drinking, and now he is with Li Xiu.

This snow came and went quickly, and by the time Li Xiu and the others finished eating, the wind and snow outside had become much lighter, but Li Xiu saw that everyone was very tired, so he asked people to rest in the store for a while, and then set off back to Chang'an.

"Horse, I see a good snow scene outside, why don't we go out for a walk?" At this moment, Pei Lin suddenly opened his mouth and proposed.

"It's okay, I've just eaten, and my body is a little hot, so I'll accompany Pei Gong out for a walk!" Li Xiu also nodded in agreement at the moment, and after speaking, the two went out together, because they didn't go far, so they only brought two guards with them, and Pei Lin also deliberately asked the guards to stay away from them, saying that it was so as not to disturb their interest.

Although the snow on the ground has melted somewhat, most of the ground is still covered with snow, and the distant peaks look silvery white, except for the occasional black rocks and green pine forests that look like beautiful ink paintings.

"The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the country and the people are safe, when the emperor raised the army, although he had his own selfishness, he also had such ambitions and minds, and now it has finally been realized!" Pei Lin pointed to the mountains and rivers in the distance and said, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be telling Li Xiu the story of the year.

"The Emperor Taishang can succeed, and it is indispensable for people with lofty ideals like Pei Gong to help, so this magnificent river and mountain also has Pei Gong's credit!" Li Xiu said quietly at this time, he knew that Pei Lin called himself out alone, he must have something to say, but he was not the first to break it.

"Pony, how did you think about what I told you before, I don't know how you thought about it?" Pei Lin didn't turn around, and asked straight in when he was single-handed.

"This ......" Li Xiu showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "I heard that according to the ancestral system, if the emperor dies, he must be buried in the palace for many days, I wonder if Gong Pei has considered this issue?" ”

"Hehe, the colt is really thoughtful, but you don't have to worry, when you go back and see someone with me, you will naturally understand!" Pei Lin smiled again at this time, as if everything was under his control.
