This time the family cut off the lifeblood of the people, isn't it equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty?
"hiss……."
Li Jing couldn't control himself and took a breath of cold air.
The corners of his eyes were shaking uncontrollably, as if they were about to burst.
His eyes were wide open, like a cow.
Bloodshot, densely packed.
Wei Zheng has said this, how can he still not understand the joints involved?
"His Majesty!"
Li Jing screamed.
Li Shimin's eyes can eat people.
At this time, the imperial court was already troubled.
The snowstorm hit Chang'an and the people couldn't breathe.
Now, the family suddenly got a knife from behind, and they couldn't bear it at all.
How to carry it?
poison!
hot!
ruthless!
At the same time, it’s accurate!
It was really accurate. This knife almost penetrated his own heart, the heart of the court, the heart of the people, and the heart of the world!
If you can't handle this knife.
He, the people, the court, and the world will all collapse and split apart.
Death without a burial place!
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui also had their eyes widened.
Standing in the snow, motionless.
Listening to Wei Zheng's analysis, their hearts and minds were extremely shattered.
Senseless.
Silly.
Shocked.
incredible!
Shi clan, is this going to...is this a last ditch effort?
They actually dare to use salt to control the world!
Salt!
This is the lifeblood of the people and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Now they are going to fight His Majesty to the death.
""Your Majesty, we... what should we do? "
"The city is closed due to heavy snow. Where can we find salt at this juncture?"
"But if there is no more salt, even if the people don't make trouble, the world will collapse. Then, the world will collapse..."
Li Jing was a little scared.
He was cold all over.
Before.
He really didn't think too much, but Wei Zheng's words were really frightening.
My scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
Li Shimin looked at him, his expression extremely gloomy.
Shake his head.
Take a gentle breath.
"Pharmacist, please go back and first find a way to stabilize the people with the people from Jingzhao Mansion."
"As for dealing with the world, I have to think about it carefully."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
After that, he turned around and walked out.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
Li Jing was confused.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also hurriedly followed.
At a loss.
Looked confused.
They don't know where His Majesty is going.
But, they must accompany you!
"Pharmacist, please go back to the Ministry of War first. Chang'an needs you now."
"On your Majesty's side, we just need to accompany him. Go and get busy. At this time, don't get distracted."
Wei Zheng turned around and shouted at Li Jing.
Li Jing's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Hearing Wei Zheng's words, he took a deep breath.
"good!"
Li Jing didn't know what to do now. Since His Majesty gave the order, he immediately agreed.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, please remember to be careful."
"If there is any news or countermeasures, please inform the Ministry of War and Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, the last general is leaving."
Li Jing left in a hurry.
Li Shimin walked in the snow that was almost up to his knees. It was extremely difficult, but it was extremely difficult.
He is going to Lishan Mountain!
Go and see King Chu!
Now, whoever can save him, save Chang'an, and save the people. The only information that came from inquiring was from Lishan.
Snow sand salt!
He had to find out what the situation was.
"Your Majesty, are we going to Lishan Mountain?" Changsun Wuji followed, glanced at Li Shimin, and couldn't help but ask softly.
In fact, he already had a guess in his mind.
In this situation, His Majesty has no other place to go but to Lishan.
Not to mention, they had just returned from Prince Chu's Mansion.
The situation with snow, sand and salt….
At this time, Your Majesty must find out, at least have some confidence in your heart.
Snow sand salt.
It is the only unstable factor in Chang'an now.
How many are there?
To be honest, Changsun Wuji and the others wanted to know from the bottom of their hearts.
"Um."
Li Shimin swallowed.
"I want to take a look at this snow, sand and salt. I wanted to wait until the snow melts a little before I can take a look, but I have no choice."
"Let's go. It's really a long way from Lishan Mountain. I hope we can get there before dawn tomorrow..."
Li Shimin said slowly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. Let's walk slowly. We can always get there."
"It's just snow, not mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Watch your step, we will clear the way for you!"
Du Du Ruhui heard this and said firmly.
They usually use horse-drawn carriages, and it only takes half a day's journey from Chang'an to Lishan.
Now, the road is blocked by heavy snow.
The journey must have been very slow.
And this is much slower than walking on normal days, one foot is deeper and the other is shallower.
But, they know it.
You must go to Lishan Mountain!
Even if there is a knife in front of you, you still have to go!
Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng also nodded heavily.
Clenched fists tightly.
The complexion is tough.
Li Junxian, who had been following him, heard this and immediately called the others to prepare for various things.
There must be no accidents along the way.
In his heart, he hoped that Li Shimin could go again during the day.
It's getting dark now.
There is so much snow again.
As night falls, the cold wind begins.
However, Li Junxian knew it very well.
On this trip to Lishan, His Majesty will go even if the sky falls.
"This time, do we still have to rely on His Highness the King of Chu?" Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know if His Highness the King of Chu can help the Tang Dynasty get out of this crisis again. However, the snow, sand and salt are so good and the craftsmanship must be extremely complicated. Is it really enough to support the entire Chang'an?" Changsun Wuji said deeply. vocal channel.
"I don't know." Du Ruhui shook his head and continued: "But..."
He smiled bitterly: "But the surprise His Highness King Chu gave us is too terrifying."
"Who knows how much private money His Royal Highness the King of Chu has? We don't even know yet."
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
No words were spoken.
He dove into the wind and snow.
Heading towards Lishan Mountain.
My shoes were already very wet after walking all day.
The water from the melted snow has soaked through.
However, he held on, just for the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
honestly.
He never imagined that there was any way to deal with such a situation.
In despair, he has to rely on Kuan'er and his private money.
.
……….………….
Imperial City.
Tai Chi Palace.
Empress Changsun also received news from Jinwu Guard that Li Shimin and the others were heading to Lishan Mountain late at night.
Hearing this, Queen Changsun was stunned for a moment, but she understood instantly.
Your Majesty must have encountered some difficulty again.
She knew very well that Li Shimin would never be so willful.
He is also an emperor who is very good at listening to other people's opinions.
If nothing happened, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others would never accompany him, nor would they be so determined.
Thinking of this, Queen Changsun put on her cloak and walked directly outside.
Snow, very deep.
But I am fearless.
Lishan!
This time, has His Majesty placed his hope on Kuan'er again?
although.
She still doesn't know what happened here.
The snow seems to have stopped today.
However, the wind roared loudly at night.
Queen Changsun tightened her sleeves and ran directly towards the Suzaku Gate.
Yes.
She is running.
She wants to find Li Shimin and the others.
"Queen, it's getting late at night, please go back quickly."
"If His Majesty finds out, he will blame us."
The guards following closely wanted to stop him.
Queen Changsun shook her head.
"Whoever dares to persuade me again will be killed without mercy!"
Empress Changsun said very firmly.
.
………….…….
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others braved the night to leave the imperial city, and it seemed that they were about to leave Chang'an.
Although not many people are coming out now.
but.
The news didn't last long.
Soon, I knew almost everything that I needed to know.
The head of the Li family in Longxi looked a little gloomy.
In silence, his eyes were full of contemplation and doubt.
On this day, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui are leaving the city?
What are they doing out of town?
The head of the Li family in Longxi is really unpredictable.
Totally impossible to guess!
What on earth did Li Shimin and the others have in mind?
Moreover, it is getting dark today, and there is snow outside. The roads inside Chang'an City are very difficult to walk, let alone the roads outside Chang'an City.
"Brother Li, if Li Shimin is doing this now, he probably does it for the sake of salt, right?"
"Other than salt, what other reason could make them leave the city at this time?"
"Today, Li Jing has told Li Shimin about this matter. They must be preparing countermeasures."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe thought for a long time, but he didn't have any clue, so he could only make such a bold guess.
It can be said that the family has put everything on this strategy.
Of course, it must be watertight and keep an eye on all relevant personnel.
Li Jing, Minister of War, and Jingzhao Mansion are also top priorities.
Li Jing left the Ministry of War today, and they could be said to have received the news.
Salt?
The head of the Li family in Longxi looked solemnly.
But the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang let out a light sigh.
"If it's for salt, then why did he go out of the city? Could it be that... there is salt outside the city?"
"But how is this possible?"
The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang spoke.
He really couldn't figure it out even if he was sick. Even if Li Shimin was in a hurry and took medicine, which song was he singing?
Outside the city, there is a lot of salt now.
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe gave a wry smile and said nothing.
He was just guessing.
What exactly he was going to do, he didn't know.
"No! He's just for the salt!!"
But at this moment, the head of the Li family in Longxi suddenly spoke, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
"At the foot of Mount Li! Our spies also found out that King Chu may be at the foot of Mount Li. This is the only possibility. Li Shimin must have gone here!"
"Otherwise, there is no other way to say it."
The head of the Li family in Longxi raised his head and shouted in a low voice.
"At the foot of Mount Li?"
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang both exclaimed.
Being reminded like this by the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he was completely enlightened.
That's right!
No matter how you look at it, Li Shimin left the city in such a hurry, even braving the difficulties of heavy snow, and it must be to the foot of Lishan Mountain!
There is no other place except here.
"Then what should we do?" the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang exclaimed.
"Do you want to move? Just watch him go to Lishan?"
There was bloodlust in his cloudy eyes.
The journey from Chang'an to the foot of Lishan Mountain is not short.
Just rely on these legs to walk there, even if it takes a day, you may not be able to get there.
The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang suddenly had another idea in his mind.
The corners of the Qinghe Cui family's head raised their lips.
His fingers suddenly grabbed the handle of the chair.
"kill!"
"Of course I'll kill him!"
"Such a good opportunity, it would be such a waste if we don't kill him!"
"We have wasted so much effort just to deal with Li Shimin. Now that he wants to come to our door by himself, don't blame me."
The head of the Li family in Longxi made a decision immediately.
In Chang'an, they did not dare to attack Li Shimin.
too difficult!
If it fails, it will not be a simple loss of rice, but a direct and shattering destruction.
However, it's different when you leave the city.
Not to mention, there is so much snow outside right now, which is perfect for an ambush.
"Hahahaha... Mr. Li, you are right."
"I, the swordsman of the Zheng family, will also show off this time..."
The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang slapped his thigh and said directly.
"Black Ice Platform, prepare immediately."
The head of the Li family in Longxi had a hoarse voice with excitement.
"By the way, let's notify the others and let them prepare."
"With such a good opportunity, I can only kill Li Shimin and everything will be over."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang looked at each other, with almost madness in their old eyes.
Who would have thought that God would suddenly give them an excellent opportunity.
Li Shimin is the one who wants to die.
Outside Chang'an, if you can kill Li Shimin directly.
All the best.
It really saves them a lot of effort.
"good!"
The two of them shouted in unison.
So excited!
Extremely impulsive!
.
……….………….
Prince Wei's Mansion.
The brazier is burning, emitting warm firelight.
Li Tai was covered with fine animal skins, eating grapes comfortably and enjoying the service of the little eunuch.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
At this moment.
Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu stepped on the snow and rushed in with difficulty.
"Um?"
Li Tai stood up immediately.
The guard who reported outside had an embarrassed look on his face.
Before he had time to report, these three people rushed in.
Who would have thought that these three old men would walk not much slower than him this time.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Tai narrowed his eyes, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked.
Come this time...
Li Tai also glanced outside.
Snow didn't fall.
However, the wind was still very tight.
If there was no big deal, they would never come.
"Your Highness, get ready."
"Perhaps it's time for you to go early in the morning."
"Dragon robe, are you ready?"
Wei Ting spoke directly without any hesitation.
