Winter has been here for several days, and this year's cold weather has come quickly. Frost has begun to form in many places in Chang'an City.
Many people inside and outside the city are preparing for winter expenses. While busy, they are also looking forward to a better winter this year...
In the royal study room next to the Taiji Palace in the Haoran Imperial City.
Li Shimin, who had just come down from the court, took a few of his confidants to think hard about where Humerus was. They looked at the reports submitted from various places, and everyone started talking about it.
At this time, a guard came to the door and leaned over to report.
"Your Majesty, Secret Supervisor Yuan of Qin Tian wants to see you!"
Li Shimin, who was listening to the opinions of several courtiers, looked up.
"Xuanba~"
After a while, a Taoist priest wearing simple gray and white robes walked in.
The Taoist priest is quite aloof from the world that ordinary people don't have. He wears clean Taoist robes and has a small goatee. His narrow eyes not only don't look treacherous, but also appear to be wise and spirited.
"The poor Taoist Yuan Tiangang pays his respects to His Majesty!"
Li Shimin quickly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, you are polite. Come, please sit down!"
He continued: "Yuan Qing, how could you think of coming to see me today?"
But there was a doubt in my heart. I usually don't see this nose for a month or two. Why did I choose to come at this time today?
Yuan Tiangang was not very polite. After sitting down, he quickly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago I and my disciples calculated that it would take more than three days. I had a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and calculated the joys and sorrows. It is a matter of great importance. I have to come and report quickly. .”
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed. This Yuan Tiangang would not be innocent. At least in the past two years, several major events relied on him to know the rumors to avoid disasters.
When Yuan Tiangang was serving as the Order of the Fire Mountain in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he helped him know the movements of heaven and earth as he traveled north and south to fight on the battlefield, and also gained him several opportunities...
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I have calculated that Xuan Kui will be in trouble and Beiming will be an obstacle. I am afraid that there will be another disaster in the Tang Dynasty this year. If it comes true, as expected, it will be this winter... and this year's cold disaster... I am afraid that this cold... The disaster is more serious than in the past..."
Yuan Tiangang hesitated and immediately turned around and continued: "However, after this year, the Northern Ming disappears and the Purple Palace disappears. Our Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper! As the saying goes, one happiness and one sorrow~"
When the news is not reported, one is happy and the other is worried. Happiness comes first and worry comes last.
When telling the news in detail, worry comes first and joy comes later. This kind of detailed talk is just basic for an official. Even a Taoist like Yuan Tiangang is not immune to the vulgarity.
Li Shimin, who was still slowly raising his heart, looked strange and raised his brows.
Three days to reckon?
That’s it~
Not only Li Shimin, but also several veterans around him had strange looks in their eyes. They stared in one direction and remained silent.
The imperial court has begun to collect grain and prepare for disaster relief. Are you just talking now? It's a bit of an afterthought~
Yuan Tiangang's face suddenly became confused. Why was the effect different from what he expected?
He also thought carefully about what to say before entering the door.
As a result, this is your reaction?
"Ahem."
Li Shimin clenched his fists and coughed twice with a strange look on his face.
Then he straightened his body, thought about it for a while, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waved his hand lightly and said.
"Yuan Qing, I have known about this for a long time, so don't be upset! I have already made arrangements for people to spend the winter to provide disaster relief this year. Although the time is in a hurry, I can still be somewhat prepared."
…
You are such a bull-nosed person. In the past, you didn't say everything you said, and you always acted like a Taoist priest.
I asked you to calculate your fortune and get an insight into the state of the country. They all refused in every possible way, saying that it was leaking secrets~
Can't you think of it today?
I knew it, and I knew it before you did. Is this still a secret?
Go play in the mud~
Yuan Tiangang, who had a somewhat fairy-like temperament, was startled. His Majesty already knew?
"this……!"
Then Yuan Tiangang looked at the expressions of the old men around him. From the looks of it, not only His Majesty knew about it, but the entire court probably knew about it and had started preparing for it a long time ago~
At this time, Yuan Tiangang felt embarrassed, very embarrassed!
Just like when you are about to perform on stage, others have already acted out your scene before you~
Yuan Tiangang had a dry look on his face and had to ask lightly: "I wonder how your majesty knows this?"
Li Shimin waved his hand and stood up, as if the unpredictability and lightness of Yuan Tiangang's body when he just entered the door had transferred to Li Shimin.
"How do you know it? I can't tell you for the time being. This cold disaster is coming, and the imperial court can only do its best."
Yuan Tiangang's eyes were stunned. Why is Your Majesty still trying to hide and seek?
Suddenly thinking about it, Yuan Tiangang quickly emphasized: "By the way, Your Majesty, this year's cold disaster will probably be worse than before. I'm afraid, if my calculation is not wrong, the time is approaching~"
Li Shimin took a few steps, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his profile looking out the window showed a somewhat strategizing demeanor.
"Well~ I know that not only will the cold disaster be more severe this year, but the seventh day of the lunar month will come next month. Time is tight..."
Yuan Tiangang:. . . . . .
Not only Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, but also several close court officials around him were stunned.
How come your Majesty even knows when the cold disaster is coming?
After Yuan Tiangang was stunned, he felt horrified in his heart. He also calculated that a heavy snowstorm was coming next month, but his calculation was not accurate.
^0^ I am unsure and dare not speak nonsense.
I didn’t expect His Majesty to know so clearly?
Is it possible that there is an expert behind His Majesty?
Yuan Tiangang was hesitant in his mind and could only reply with a dry smile: "Your Majesty's Holy Blessing, natural disasters are still punished. In this case, the court can naturally deal with these natural disasters..."
"I hope so~"
Looking up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, he also pretended to be an outsider who knew how to predict the future. Li Shimin felt a different kind of comfort in his heart.
In the past, I always saw this Niubi pretending to be an outsider, but now he can also pretend.
Still pretending to be so smooth.
Beautiful, beautiful~
After a few words of apology, Li Shimin couldn't find out the reason.
He could only go back to Qintian Prison in despair.
Along the way, I frowned with my hands behind my back, and the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong.
Are there really such people? Can you deduce the secret of heaven in such detail? Aren't you afraid that Taoism's taboo will reveal the secret?
How can this person be so humane and so profound?
Just when Yuan Tiangang was depressed, the imperial study room returned to the topic.
Fang Xuanling put down the food list in his hand and said with an old eyebrow: "Your Majesty, according to the current level of food preparation, the current disaster relief is at most in the Chang'an area, and at most near Gyeonggi Road. If it is further away, I am afraid that there is more than enough energy. It’s not enough~”
On the side, Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "The harvest in the past two years has not been good, and even the foundation for raising food is weak. Now that food prices have risen, the people in Chang'an City may not have an easy time this year."
"No matter how far or near the people in this world are, they are all my subjects. If they can be saved, the imperial court will spare no effort! Let's prepare food first and go away. Only one of us can be saved..."
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed. It would be best to be able to save some people now. If it weren't for Tang Sufan's early warning and help, there would have been many more deserters this winter~
Wei Zheng on the side hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty... I wonder if the news that the cold disaster will start next month is true..."
At least he thought that His Majesty's news came from the Qintian Prison.
But judging from what just happened, it's obviously not the case.
As for the recent disaster relief measures, everyone in the court had to praise them.
Your Majesty, this is a counterattack~
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuan Cheng, don't worry, this news is probably true."
The frost period is earlier than usual this year, and judging from what Yuan Tiangang just said, Tang Xiaozi is probably right.
I like The First Happy King of the Tang Dynasty
