Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

It’s just... I took care of it myself in advance.

Their cattle and sheep, just in time, can also become the ingredients for hot pot this winter?
Because he knew this, Li Kuan came here from the north in advance.

The north and the top of the mountain are wonderful places to live in the summer.

But in winter, it's really not a place to live.

The wind and the snow are really unbearable unless you have modern heating equipment.

But to be honest, the scenery of the snow-covered mountains is really nice.

"Sir, when are we going back to Chang'an?"

"A few days ago, they actually built a temple for the young master. Lingqi really wants to go and see it."

Lu Lingqi smiled so sweetly that her beautiful eyes were almost narrowed into a line.

The young master is already an official at a young age.

I really don’t know what the prince inside will be sculpted into.

Really curious.

After Lu Lingqi's voice fell, Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting next to her with a cold expression on her face, as if she was not interested in all this, her clear eyes moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up slightly.

"Yes, it is said that the Imperial College also gave you a plaque."

"The most victorious man in the world, these four words have now spread throughout Chang'an. It is estimated that it will not be long before this name will spread throughout the world."

"The head of the Fanyang Lu family and the Lord of the Seven Stars, Beichen, do not have the same reputation as you, Your Highness. We have the people of the world as our shield, so how could we lose to them?"

The words fell.

Shangguan Haitang was also a little excited.

The most wonderful place in the world, who has ever named it?
But their young master did it!
Qin Changye was not surprised by honor or disgrace.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Changan? It's almost time. Or maybe... it's not the right time yet. It's still very slow."

"I hope it will be quick. I, Qin Changye, miss my little sister a little too."

Qin Changye picked up Xiao Sizi, the ugly thing that she had specially embroidered for him, with a gentle look in his eyes filled with endless tenderness.

"However, I can't go back now. If I go, I'm afraid that the guys from the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clans will be alert and scared."

"Having the Fanyang Lu family master and the Big Dipper is already a headache, and now we are being chased. We must not add more enemies."

"Let them toss it around a bit more. When I'm not here, they'll do whatever they can."

"Come on, come on."

Qin Changye narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.

I picked up another piece of tripe with chopsticks and put it in my mouth. It was spicy, fresh and fragrant, and extremely satisfying.

"Sir, you are right. There is no rush anyway, so we can stay in Luoyang for the time being."

"This world is just like a hot pot, allowing you to salvage it at will. The noble families are just like ants. Our real enemies are in the dark."

"Sir, come, I'll toast you!"

Shangguan Haitang raised her glass.

Qin Changye nodded slightly.

Everyone enjoyed the hotpot more and more.

Only Qin Changye looked out the window with his eyes flickering, as if... he was worried about something.

….……….…….
Chang'an City.

The Longxi Li family is in charge of the palace.

The head of the Longxi Li family looked at the snowflakes flying in front of him and smiled so hard that he couldn't stop dancing in the snow.

The head of the Qinghe Cui family and the head of the Xingyang Zheng family were by his side, eating snowflakes excitedly with their mouths open.

Snowing!
The temperature has dropped!
And there are still no signs!
Not to mention the common people, even they were caught off guard and had to find the leftover charcoal from last year overnight to avoid freezing.

If this is the case, it must be very difficult for the people, right?
Even an average wealthy person would probably be unable to sleep due to the cold.

This is really great news for them!

Their salt plan is being prepared slowly.

Now, God is helping me!
Great things can be accomplished!

God bless you!

If a snowstorm occurs, the people will suffer from hunger and cold, and their lives will be miserable.

The imperial court certainly has no time to take care of other places.

At that time, they will cut off the salt completely and directly.

In such cold weather, people cannot get enough food to eat and cannot get warm clothes to wear. If there is less salt, I am afraid the world will be in chaos in an instant.

By then, the nobles would be able to easily control Li Shimin without any effort.

If he did not abdicate immediately, the next scene would be that eighteen rebel kings would attack Chang'an.

"Great, that's great, the snow is falling just in time!"

"Hahaha……."

The head of the Longxi Li family laughed loudly, grabbed a handful of snow, and clenched it tightly in his palm. Feeling the warmth of the ice and snow made him even more arrogant.

"Go down, go down, go down!"

"Our chance is really coming. This time, Li Shimin won't be able to escape even if he has wings!"

The head of the Qinghe Cui family was so excited that his face turned red and he danced with joy.

"A two-pronged approach!"

"No one can stop the arrival of the snow disaster and the salt disaster. Moreover, the cold weather and heavy snow sealed everything. Even if Li Shimin wanted to find a new salt mine, it would be impossible."

"At least, the speed is much slower than usual. How can he be qualified to fight with us?"

"Who said it wasn't? Who said it wasn't? This time, he must be killed without a burial place! One strike will kill him, one strike will defeat him!"

"Yeah, yeah, I have to say, this snow is really wonderful!"

"Hahaha……."

The three of them were happy.

They stood in the snow, hoping and hoping that the snow would fall heavier.

It would be best if Chang'an could be crushed, and the whole world could be crushed.

At that time, they will directly crush Li Shimin... into pieces!

No one can stop it!
No one can come back!

nobody!
The head of the Longxi Li family clenched his fists tightly.

The bloodshot in his eyes, which were caused by not getting enough rest in recent days, were trembling and connecting together, revealing a man-eating bloody color.

This time, the aristocratic family has the best opportunity, and also the most perfect opportunity!
Fight!

A complete fight!!

….……….…….
When the sun came out, the sky cleared up a little.

The snowflakes in the sky stopped.

I don't know when it stopped last night.

The snow is not shallow, but not deep either.

Li Shimin stood in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, wearing a thick woolen coat.

The snow is up to the ankles.

But this level of snow accumulation is absolutely acceptable.

When Li Shimin saw this, although he didn't say it, he really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

The temperature has dropped sharply. If there is a thick snowfall that collapses people's houses, it would be adding insult to injury and adding insult to injury.

In such weather, it would be a real problem if people had no place to live.

I don’t know how many people will die in the cold.

"Your Majesty, the snow has stopped."

Empress Changsun stood beside him and said in a deep voice.

She was almost sleepless last night because of worry.

Li Shimin nodded: "The snow has stopped, fortunately."

"Let's go, wake up Changsun Wuji and the other three. It's time to go to the Prince of Chu's Palace."

Li Shimin shouted.

"Prince Chu's Palace? Your Majesty, this morning court..."

Empress Changsun was surprised. After all, such a big thing had just happened today. The snowstorm had already happened. Although the snow was not that heavy, it would still bring considerable trouble to the Tang Dynasty.

It is estimated that many officials have prepared memorials and will discuss how to solve this matter at the morning court.

"Morning court? Humph! That group of people, there is no point in attending the morning court."

"The most urgent task now is to solve the heating problem for the people. Even in the morning court, we were arguing about how to solve this problem."

"Now, I have a better solution. Why waste time with them?"

"Guanyin maid, go and tell them that I have something to do and will not be attending the court. Just ask them to leave the memorial behind."

Li Shimin gave direct orders.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"When shall we go?"

"Your Majesty, let's go, there is no time to lose, leave immediately."

At this time, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also hurried over from the snow.

They slept in the side hall last night.

"go!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and strode out.

He is anxious!
The four of them left the palace without any delay and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

There was a state of depression in Chang'an.

There were only people hurrying along the road.

It seems that all the street vendors that used to be there have disappeared.

Every door was closed.

There was no sound of human voice in every house.

As a heavy snow fell, it seemed as if the world became quiet.

"The people don't know what to do now. They can only endure it alone behind closed doors. We must hurry, otherwise, the people will have a hard time tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people are now completely helpless. The heavy snow has blocked the roads, and they can't go anywhere. It's even difficult for people to go out. The thin clothes of the people really can't withstand the rapidly falling temperature."

"......."

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui spoke one after another.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

He was well aware of the crisis hidden beneath the silence.

This is the first day, and maybe it's okay, but if the court still can't come up with a plan on the second day, the people in Chang'an City, no, not just inside and outside Chang'an City, all the people covered in snow will face a struggle for their lives.

The first group is the elderly.

Winter is hard for the elderly to endure. Now the temperature has dropped suddenly without any signs. The elderly’s method of keeping warm is really...
Batches of elderly people will die in this cold winter.

Next comes the children.

Then, there are the strong people.

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it and could only quicken his pace.

After all, no one knows whether the snow will continue to fall, and this is the most worrying thing!
If the snow stopped suddenly, it would be fine, but what if it continues tonight?
so what should I do now?
can not imagine!

Wangyun Inn is just ahead!

Crunch.....
The sounds of their feet became extremely chaotic at this moment, and they just felt upset.

Li Junxian walked up quickly and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's snowing heavily."

Squeak...
The door opened.

It was a maid wearing a cotton coat.

However, she knew Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji and others.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

As she said this, the maid hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

Li Shimin gave Li Junxian a look.

Li Junxian went straight up and grabbed him.

"No need. Has Master Qin returned?"

Li Shimin interrupted him and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, the young master has not returned yet."

"Where is the old gentleman?"

"Old gentleman? Oh, butler, he is reading inside. Your Majesty, please come in."

The maid quickly led a few people towards the mansion.

The maid led them into Yuan Tiangang's courtyard.

"Hehehe... Your Majesty, how come you all came out in this heavy snow?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, please take a seat! Someone, bring the tea!"

"No, boil some wine to warm up your majesty and the others."

The old man put down the book in his hand, walked down to greet him with a smile.

"Don't bother, old sir. I can't take care of it."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.

His gaze went directly to the room behind the old man.

A cup of tea, a wooden table and some books.

But in addition to that, a new stove was added next to the wooden table.

Next to this stove is the honeycomb and coal they have always dreamed of!

Li Shimin walked over immediately.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui followed closely behind.

As soon as the four of them walked into the room, they felt the heat coming towards them.

The stove is burning brightly.

There is also a kettle on top.

The temperature was being released outwards crazily. This thing seemed to be stronger than those fires.

Absolutely!

This is it!

If this thing can be promoted to the people, it would be like a magic weapon to deal with such cold days.

"Old man, what is this?"

Li Shimin asked directly: "We have seen it before in the Wangyun Inn, but I don't know how to make it. Please give me some advice, old man."

Li Shimin turned around and looked at the old man.

Eyes solemn.

The breathing of Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also became a little rapid.

Crazy in my heart!

Looking forward to it!

This thing is absolutely amazing!!

In such heavy snow weather, it is simply the best artifact, and it would not be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold.

With such coal, it will be easy for people to get through the winter!
The old man looked at the expressions of the four people, listened to their questions, and immediately knew what was going on.

At the moment, he did not hide anything...
He directly picked up a honeycomb coal and started explaining.

"This honeycomb briquettes were invented by the young master."

"It's very simple. Just use the most common coal, which is the most common coal. Break it up, add some water and put it into a mold. Then dry it in the sun and wait for it to solidify. Then it's done."

"However, this thing, although it is good for heating and can burn for a long time, it can also be used for cooking and boiling water, but... you must not close all the doors and windows. This is what the young master said. He said that this thing can kill people if you are not careful."

"But, as long as there is a gap and it is not completely sealed, it will be fine."

The old man explained.

Li Shimin frowned slightly. Is his life in danger?
However, when he heard the old man's next words, he nodded suddenly and felt relieved.

Is it that simple?
