Chang'an, Taiji Palace!

After a north wind, the temperature suddenly became much colder, and the sky also fell with snowflakes, and the huge Chang'an City suddenly became a world covered in silver.

When many concubines in the backyard saw the snow, they moved and went out to enjoy the snow and play, laughing and laughing.

Li Shimin stood on the palace wall and saw this scene, but there was no smile on his face, and his mood was still a little heavy while letting the wind and snow fall on his face.

Heavy snow is a winter beauty for harem women and powerful children, but it is not a good thing for ordinary people and the country.

Although it is said to be a good year for Ruixue, it has not been said often since the spread of Xie Yi's poem "There are poor people in Chang'an, and there should not be many for Rui".

At least no official dares to use this "auspicious word" to sing praises of virtue, otherwise it is easy to be scolded by Shilin or the people.

Xie Yi is right, there are many poor people in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who are unclothed, have no thick clothes, and have no warm room in the cold winter. How should they live on such a snowy day?

As an emperor, he has to consider these things, stabilize the people, and only when there is no hunger and cold in the world can he be called a saint and a virtuous king.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has joined forces with various prefectures and counties to reassure and provide relief to the poor. Nothing else, Li Shimin's request is very simple, that is, no one can freeze to death and starve to death, especially in Chang'an and Gyeonggi, and other prefectures and counties must also be completed according to the situation, but whenever there are people who freeze to death and starve to death, the state and county officials will be held accountable.

I hope the officials below can do it well!

And then there'......

Li Shimin subconsciously looked to the north, and Li Daozong said that Xie Yi and Di Zhixun may not have been killed, but there was still a possibility of survival, and they were already sending people to find answers.

Upon learning of this, Li Shimin was full of expectations and hoped to gain something. Let Xie Yi and Di Zhixun, the two courtiers with a bright future, return safely.

At the same time, Li Daozong also reported on the situation of Prince Xue Yantuo who was about to move on the border, which made people quite uneasy.

Xue Yantuo's thief heart is not dead, and he is extremely restless!

In addition to letting Li Daozong, Li Ji and Ashina Simo strengthen their guards, Li Shimin can only pay more attention and pray silently.

Snow has fallen in Chang'an. The wind and snow on the grassland must be bigger and colder, and I don't know how to thank them......

These days, a pair of children are in tears for Xie Yi's disappearance, and Li Shimin is really distressed when he looks at it. After receiving Li Daozong's report, he originally wanted to tell the two children, but when the words came to his lips, His Majesty Li Er swallowed them back.

There is hope, but it is still very slim. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. As a father who loves his children, he would rather his children be sad once to the end than sad all the time.

After many days, no news has been sent, and there is no nervousness when I want to come to Li Daozong's side, so ......

Just when Li Shimin no longer had any hope, a piece of music was suddenly sent to Chang'an. When he saw the performance signed Xie Yi handed over to the desk, Li Shimin suddenly smiled.

Hearty laughter resounded through the Chengqing Palace. The waiting chamberlains couldn't help but be surprised, His Majesty the Emperor hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he didn't know what good news there was.

Xie Yi and Di Zhixon are still alive and have returned to Lingzhou alive!

Seeing this news, Li Shimin was quite happy, and finally his expectations and prayers were not in vain. They came back alive.

That's nice!

However, soon, when Li Shimin saw Li Daozong and Xie Yi's account of the incident, his face that had just been smiling suddenly became gloomy.

It's good that you're a man, and you're generous, you dare to hunt down and murder the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. is so vain and despises Datang Tianwei?

This is something that Li Shimin absolutely cannot tolerate, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Immediately summon the Prime Minister of the three provinces, Chengqing Palace, to discuss the matter." ”

When the will came out, a group of ministers immediately gathered in the Chengqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saw that Li Shimin seemed to be smiling, and there was a look of anger in relief, and they couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Li Shimin held up the two documents on the imperial case and said in a low voice: "Two things, one happy and one worried. ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you happy and worried?"

"Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, has been sparse from Lingzhou, Di Zhixun and Xie Yi have gone through hardships and dangers, and finally returned from Xue Yantuo, and now they are in Lingzhou." Li Shimin said: "Xie Yi and Di Zhixun themselves also gave me a question about the case. ”

"Thank God, Di Shilang and Master Xie are safe and sound." Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and the others all showed relieved smiles on their faces, while Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, this is a great joy, and for a while, the Chengqing Hall was filled with joy. But after a while, everyone came to their senses, and His Majesty the Emperor said that there was one joy and one sorrow.

This joy is understood, but what is sorrow?

Li Shimin said in a deep voice; "It's also good luck for Di Zhixun and Xie Yi to come back, they have suffered a lot along the way, and in Xue Yantuo's tent, they noticed the collusion between Yi Nan and the Western Turks, so they had to sneak away.

The so-called disappearance and search and rescue of the Xue Yantuo people is actually a search and pursuit, even in the border place, when Li Daozong's son Li Jinghuan went to respond, Yi Nan's son Dadu still arrogantly denied it, and called my Tang envoy a thief. ”

When the ministers heard these words, they could all imagine the hardships and thrills of Xie Yi and Di Zhixun along the way, and they were even more angry at Xue Yantuo's arrogance.

Li Shimin was quite excited, and said indignantly: "I am a great Tang Tianwei, I was so humiliated by others, and I dared to murder my Tang envoy in front of my Tang soldiers, it is tolerable, which is unbearable." ”

"Your Majesty means to send troops to fight against Xue Yantuo?" Fang Xuanling saw the scene of His Majesty the Emperor's anger, and asked in a low voice.

Li Shimin said loudly: "I do have this intention, what do you think?" ”

All the ministers subconsciously hesitated, the crusade against Xue Yantuo was a major matter, so naturally it could not be decided easily, and this matter was also quite contradictory. The reason why the envoys were sent there was to delay time and postpone the war with Xue Yantuo.

But after the envoy returned, it became a crusade, which was inevitably a little abrupt, and there was a bit of a change in the order. However, the ministers all held the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor...... At least there is no explicit objection.

Murdering envoys and despising the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo's practice has touched the honor of the Tang Dynasty and the respect of His Majesty Li Er, which is an unforgivable crime, and the requisition is also reasonable.

It's just that there is something wrong with it no matter what, and it is not the best way, so when Li Shimin proposed it, there was some quiet in the Chengqing Palace.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and the minister's behavior does not seem to have any intention of going to war." In that case, there may be a more secure solution! (To be continued......)
