Li Wucun also left, and Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian were left sitting opposite each other in the big tent.

"Brother Zheng'er, won't you go to the East Palace to study after returning to Chang'an?"

Li Chengqian drank the last glass of wine and asked Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng thought for a while and replied: "I don't know, it depends on how Your Majesty arranges, but there is a high probability that he will not go." ”

After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, he obviously saw a trace of disappointment flashing in Li Chengqian's eyes.

While laughing secretly in his heart, his voice changed: "It's not ......"

"But what?"

Li Chengqian raised his head, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.

Zhang Zheng sold the guanzi for a while, and then said slowly: "However, His Royal Highness the Prince, you can go to the Tang Royal Academy to go to school." ”

After listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly turned from resentment to joy.

Somewhat excitedly asked, "Can I too?" ”

Zhang Zheng nodded, did not give a definite answer, but replied ambiguously: "It depends on what Your Majesty means." ”

Having said that, Zhang Zheng still has some confidence in his heart.

The Tang Royal Academy was established by himself and promoted by Lao Li Gang.

After the academy is completed, Li Er will be the president of the Royal Academy, and the old Li Gang will be in the position of mountain chief.

Therefore, Li Er will definitely vigorously support the development of the academy, and since Li Er is the dean, what more powerful support is there than sending his children to study in the academy.

Therefore, Zhang Zheng said that Li Chengqian could go to school in the academy, which is really not an empty sentence.

A seed of hope rose in Li Chengqian's heart, and he raised his hand and clenched his fists to cheer himself up: "I will find a way to convince my father." ”

Then he walked out happily, completely ignoring Zhang Zheng's smiling face.

Seeing that today's diners were gone, Zhang Zheng instructed the chef to remove the leftovers from the table and lay a mat on the table.

put pen and ink on the pen and ink, and began to ponder the plan to be handed over to Li Wucun tomorrow morning.

As Zhang Zheng thought when he talked to Li Wucun just now, Zhang Zheng's main task was to finalize the legitimacy of the Mo family's identity, as well as arrange the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Mo family in Chang'an.

To finalize the legitimacy of the Mo family and let the people of the Mo family come to power openly, Li Er must not be able to get around, so Zhang Zheng has to give Li Er an excerpt first.

Zhang Zheng picked up the pen and finished writing Li Er's recital first. Lift it up and blow dry the ink, and put the fold in the envelope and seal it with beeswax.

Only then did he put pen to paper and began to write about the arrangements on Chang'an's side after the Mo family came, focusing on informing the Mo family that he would go to a position that matched their identity and knowledge with Li Er.

Then there were some trivial chores and treatment issues, and the thousand-word plan gradually took shape under Zhang Zheng's pen.

After checking it and confirming that nothing was missing, Zhang Zheng dried the ink on the rice paper, folded the plan and put it on the table together with the fold for Li Er.

After a brief wash, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

……

The weather is getting colder and colder, and in front of Tongguan, Zhang Zheng and others ushered in the third snow in the four years of Zhenguan.

Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng stood at the Fenglingdu Wharf, staring at the Yellow River that had been covered with a thick layer of ice, and Chang Yan and Chen Yu stood behind the two, holding up a big umbrella for the two of them.

Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and there are less than ten days left before New Year's Day.

The heavy snow made the two of them a little unable to open their eyes, and the entire Fenglingdu was completely covered by heavy snow, and the deepest part was enough to cover the waist of an adult.

And the two light snows they experienced on the way back were no deeper than their ankles.

When the Qincha team arrived at Fenglingdu last night, it was already late, and the danger of crossing the river at night directly increased, and most of the soldiers in the team were landlubbers, so the two decided to repair at Fenglingdu for one night.

But he didn't expect that just one night would pass, and the heavy snow would freeze the river.

As bright as today, the heavy snow in the sky does not mean to stop at all, but it is getting heavier and heavier.

"It is said that the snowflakes in Yanshan are as big as a table, and I think the snowflakes outside this pass are not inferior."

Zhang Zheng spoke, stretched out his hand out of the umbrella, and in the blink of an eye, his hand was full of snowflakes.

As for the outside of the pass that Zhang Zheng said, it is naturally Tongguan on the other side of the river.

"I was fine when I came, but now I can't go back, and I'm still stopped at the door of my house."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head, with such deep snow, the road has been completely blocked, and wanting to go back to Chang'an is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"I haven't seen snow like this in many years, and this year has been really eventful.

First of all, the drought and locust plague are coming, and it seems that this heavy snow will not stop in a short time.

It is also unknown how many people will freeze to death in this heavy snowfall. ”

Zhang Zheng didn't have the sorrow that Li Chengqian couldn't go home, although he also wanted to go home to accompany his mother for the New Year, but the heavy snow closed the road, and he could only think about it.

It's just that I'm a little worried about this heavy snowfall, if it lasts too long, I'm afraid that it will form a snow disaster, which will bring unbearable consequences to Datang.

Even if there is a work-for-relief strategy, the people of Datang can't afford to toss.

"Forget it, leave these things to my father and the ministers of the court to worry about, you and I are stopped here, in vain."

After listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Li Chengqian replied with some noncommittality.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Xiannan, the wind and snow are too strong outside, let's go back to the camp."

Chang Yan, who was standing behind the two of them, spoke.

Chang Yan's face was a little worried, because the place where Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng were standing was on the edge of the river, and Chang Yan was worried in his heart, for fear that the two of them would accidentally have an accident and fall into the river.

Although the river has frozen, it is only overnight, and who can guarantee that the ice on the river has been frozen and solid.

"Let's go, go back to eating hot pot."

Zhang Zheng took the lead in turning around and walking towards the camp.

The camp was on a flat piece of land not far from the ferry, less than a kilometer away from the ferry.

When they came, the road was closed by heavy snow, and the road cleared by the soldiers with shovels for the two of them was covered with heavy snow at this time, but fortunately, the snow was not deep.

The soldiers waiting not far away were still draped all over their bodies, but their bodies were covered with thick snowflakes, and they had turned into a row of neatly set up snowmen.

The footprints that everyone stepped on when they returned to the camp disappeared in a blink of an eye......

……

At this time, Chang'an was already a snowy expanse, except for the gatekeepers of various houses who scolded this damn ghost weather from time to time.

Even the most lively East and West Second City, there are not a few people in sight at this time.

Chang'an, where hundreds of people live, rarely showed a sense of desertion, which was as gloomy as the mood of the Tang monarchs and ministers in the Jinluan Palace at this time.

The floor heating in the Taiji Palace is very warm, but no matter how warm the body is, it can't warm the coolness in the hearts of the Tang monarchs and ministers in the hall.

The drought and locust plague have just passed, and looking at this situation, the arrival of the snow disaster is inevitable.
