I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 306 The prince's leadership temperament, Li Shimin asked the good and bad luck of the first year of Zhenguan
This is called a year of tuition?
For the bunch of New Year's goods that the emperor gave, ordinary families might not be able to use them up in ten lifetimes!
Not to mention, the word "Taishi".

Li Er's move today is obviously to push himself to the position of Zhenguan's number one favorite...

"Now, the burden on me is really heavier than Mount Tai!"

Xu Fenglei cupped his hands with a wry smile,
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The subject should follow the example of Zhuge Kongming, and do his best to die!"

Li Shimin smiled, waved his hands, and told Li Chengqian and other children:
"Princes, let's go play!"

"Be close to Pauline and Chumo. They are good children in your uncle's family. They are destined to be your friends."

Li Chengqian looked at Yuchi Baolin and other teenagers, and nodded.

"Yes, Father."

After finishing speaking, he tugged on Li Tai's sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Qingque, Li Ke, let's go."

"This is the task entrusted to us by the emperor."

Li Tai was a little reluctant, but he still kept up with his brother.

The emperor wants to socialize with his uncles, so naturally they also need to communicate with each other.

As a prince, this is a compulsory course.

But seeing the princes approaching, Yuchi Baolin and the others were already a little panicked, not knowing how to deal with it.

The identity gap is too big!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qin Huaidao stepped forward and cupped his hands:

"I have met His Royal Highness the Prince. I have met the two Royal Highnesses and the two Princesses."

The rest of them seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"I have seen His Royal Highness..."

Li Chengqian smiled casually.

"No need to be polite."

He waved and smiled,
"Are you Huai Dao? I heard from my father early in the morning that there is a noble son in Uncle Qin's family. I saw him today, and he is really handsome."

"Speaking of which, we can be regarded as growing up together, but we don't communicate much, Huai Dao...try to introduce me?"

When Qin Huaidao heard Li Chengqian's praise, he immediately showed a flattered look.

He didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom he had never met before, would give him such a high evaluation as soon as he came up!This made him feel a little happy.

"well."

Qin Huaidao hurriedly introduced,

"This is Cheng Chumo from Su Guogong's family."

Li Chengqian took a look and commented: "Excellent in martial arts."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Cheng Chumo's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed again and again excitedly.

"This is Sun Chong, the eldest son of Duke Zhao's family."

Li Chengqian smiled.

"I still know my cousin."

He waved at his eldest grandson and said approvingly,
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I am more and more wise."

Chang Sun Chong also grinned, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for the compliment from the crown prince's cousin. My brother has been fond of playing chess recently, which can be regarded as a bit of wisdom, hehe..."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and patted his shoulder.

"This is Yuchi Baolin of the Duke of Wu's family, and this is the wife of the Duke of Liang's family." Qin Huaidao continued to introduce.

Both Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yiai raised their heads, looking expectantly at what kind of evaluation this prince who spouted lotus flowers would give them.

"Uh……"

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, and saw that the eyes of the two seemed to be open, which was exactly what the master said, "Don't come in my door if you are confused and stupid".Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"They are all dragons and phoenixes among men!"

He praised, then changed the subject and said,
"Father is chatting with all the uncles, there is nothing to watch, how about we play a game?"

"Okay, okay, I will listen to His Highness the Crown Prince." All the young people said.

With every gesture, Li Chengqian has become the leader of the topic, the center of the audience, and everyone involuntarily revolves around him.

As a prince, he should do the same.

……

A cup of tea was served, and everyone in the hall sat down.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou sat at the main seats and took a sip of green tea.

"Why do I have so little tea?"

Changsun Wugou looked at Xu Fenglei with some doubts, and said,

"How many pieces are there?"

There were at least a dozen pieces of tea leaves in the teacups of the others, but she was fine, just a few pitiful pieces, floating in the water, so that the tea was white.

"Your Majesty is weak, you should drink less tea, so as not to hurt your vitality."

Xu Fenglei explained softly,

"When Sun Simiao comes, I'll ask him to prepare scented tea for you. That's also delicious."

When Changsun Wugou heard the words, he could only curl his lips.

"I practice the gymnastics you mentioned every day, and the results are pretty good."

she said,

"My muscles and bones are better, but I tend to get sleepy in the afternoon, and I am very energetic the rest of the time. In the past winter, my hands and feet were cold and I had to warm up the stove. This year, it is much better. Listen to you. Walk more and move more, and your body will warm up." .”

Xu Fenglei smiled and nodded.

"Life lies in exercise, and my wife can add at least 10 years to her life by exercising like this."

he said,

"Please keep it up, especially after meals, and move around more."

"There is a slang saying in the countryside that if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to 99."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded slightly.

She remembered these words.

"Listen, actually, I'm here today, and I want to ask you one more thing."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea, interjected,

"Why is it not cold this winter? According to the weather in previous years, there should be heavy snow this New Year, but this winter there is no sign of snow at all."

"Such a celestial phenomenon... isn't it a bit weird? It's a warm winter, okay?"

In the first year of the new dynasty, although Li Shimin was ambitious and wanted to make a big career, but at the same time... also nervous!
After all, the throne was won.

If there is a change in the sky, or if there is some disaster from the sky, doesn't it mean that the sky is dissatisfied with him?
If it is used by someone with a heart, it is enough to cause a storm!
Therefore, bringing the children to pay New Year greetings to Master was one of the reasons. He wanted Xu Fenglei to answer his questions, and divination about the good and bad luck of this year was also the main reason.

However, under Li Shimin's expectant eyes, Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"Warm winter is naturally bad."

he said,

"The so-called auspicious snow heralds a good year. Why does snow fall in winter and a bumper harvest in the coming year?"

"First, the land absorbs the nutrients in the snow water, making the earth more moist, which can add a boost to the sowing in spring."

"Secondly, the heavy snow covered the sky, freezing people and at the same time freezing to death various insect eggs on the soil surface. Some pests, such as locusts, will freeze to death due to the snow. If the number is insufficient in the coming year, they will not do harm. gone."

"The warm winter loses these two advantages, especially the eggs. If the eggs are not frozen to death by the snow, they will reproduce in large numbers in the coming year, which will definitely be a disaster!"

Li Shimin's expression darkened.

The ministers in the hall also looked dignified and listened carefully.

It turns out that there is such a principle behind "auspicious snow heralds a good year"!
This time it's up.

"According to what you mean... there will be drought and locust plagues this year?"

Li Shimin looked at Xu Fenglei, and said slowly.

"Correct."

Xu Fenglei responded,
"The drought depends on the sky, but the locust plague is inevitable."

"Generally speaking, after a severe drought, there must be a plague of locusts, and after a severe flood, there must be plagues!"

"The so-called disasters never come singly, these disasters... never appear alone!"
