Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 251: Li Shimin was stunned!How could Chu Palace be like this!
"Your Majesty, you see that your mental state is too bad now."

Empress Changsun was really worried.

Last night, Li Shimin almost stayed up all night.

Li Shimin swallowed and nodded.

He glanced outside, and walked towards the outside, thinking about going to Tai Chi Palace to handle some official business.

This weather, early morning, has been cancelled.

However, all kinds of important excerpts are still coming towards the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Not long after Li Shimin walked out, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui carried their robes and walked in the snow with difficulty step by step.

His face was a little anxious.

Breathe, gasp.

His expression was a little flustered.

Li Shimin stopped when he saw them.

"What's the matter? What happened again?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, last night, houses collapsed to varying degrees in Chang'an. What the pharmacist said is correct."

"With such thick snow, people's houses can't hold on anymore."

"The houses in Chang'an City have all collapsed, and the snow on the Zhuangzi outside Chang'an is estimated to be even more severely damaged!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly reported.

At dawn today, they received the following news.

By coincidence, they came directly to the imperial city.

If the snow continues, Chang'an estimates that apart from the imperial city, other houses will collapse.

At that time, it will be really troublesome.

People live on the streets and can't even find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so what if there is briquette?

At that time, the stable situation in Chang'an that they managed to achieve with great difficulty will completely collapse and fall into chaos again.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui.They all looked at Li Shimin bitterly.

House seemingly endless rain.

The hemp rope is specially picked and broken.

Misfortune only finds the poor.

This news is really worse.

Li Shimin's already ugly face became even uglier.

However, after all, he was more or less prepared in his heart, Li Shimin took a deep breath, did not go to Tai Chi Palace, and walked directly outside.

"Go, go and see the situation."

"How about the collapse of houses in Chang'an City now?"

Li Shimin asked directly.

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

"Your Majesty, the collapse just happened today, not many."

"However, if you don't take precautions and take measures, if the snow continues to fall like this, it will be really troublesome."

Changsun Wuji quickly replied.

Wei Zheng nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, the current situation is still acceptable. Jingzhao Mansion has properly resettled those people who were injured because of the damage to their houses."

"But if it continues to deteriorate, Jingzhao Mansion has nothing to do."

"At that time, the people of the whole city will have to stand on the ruins, this..."

Wei Zheng did not continue.

But the situation, several people are clear in their hearts.

At that time, Chang'an City will really be completely abolished.

Even worse than the Turkic attack.

Li Shimin's eyes turned blue.

did not speak.

Difficult to go out.

The snow seemed to be smaller, falling sparsely.

Get out of Suzaku Gate and walk directly towards Mingde Gate.

The houses on both sides of Suzaku Street were somewhat damaged at first glance.

However, it is still acceptable.

After all, the buildings here can be said to be the best in Chang'an except for the imperial city.

If these houses collapse, there will be no houses in Chang'an that can stand.

Li Shimin turned a corner.

Go to the side room.

He saw that among the houses, there were several collapsed houses from time to time.

However, for now, the quantity is quite acceptable.

not much.

Many people are clearing the snow on the roof, but the speed is a bit slow.

The snow is too thick.

Also too heavy.

The people don't even have any tools, they just use sticks to sweep down.

Li Shimin walked around to have a look. On the way, he also met a few ordinary people with depressed expressions.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Li Shimin called out one.

The man glanced at Li Shimin, slightly frustrated and disappointed, and replied: "It's nothing, I thought about going out to buy some vinegar cloth, but I didn't expect that the doors were closed."

"Salt is gone, too."

"This... It may be heavy snow. The store is closed. I will go and see tomorrow. There should be some."

Li Shimin felt a little relieved when he heard this.

I thought something was wrong, but I just didn't buy salt.

Li Shimin is not worried about this.

Salt, although precious, is never in short supply.

There are quite a few salt shops in Chang'an, and it is estimated that the stock alone can last for more than half a year.

Li Shimin continued to walk forward with the three of them, observing the situation of the disaster in Chang'an, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

Not only him, but also Changsun Wuji and the other three didn't think too much about it.

It is estimated that it should be heavy snow, and the merchant just slept late.

While walking and watching, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wuji all looked a little dignified.

"The situation is already critical."

"This snow is so heavy. If there is another wave at night, tomorrow, more houses will collapse."

"It's like this in Chang'an now. As you can imagine, it's probably even more difficult for those Zhuangzi outside Chang'an."

Li Shimin's voice was a little low.

Although the situation is temporarily under control, it is more or less acceptable.

But this time the loss is still not small.

If there are a few more waves like this, the situation that has been temporarily stabilized by relying on honeycomb briquettes in the past few days will collapse directly.

Changsun Wuji nodded.

"Yes."

"So, Jingzhao Mansion has dispatched troops to help clear the snow on the roof today."

"However, human power is a bit slow after all."

"But at least it works."

Changsun Wuji agreed.

Now, apart from this method, they really can't think of any other better method than this.

Almost none.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, do your best and obey the destiny!"

Li Shimin knew that the imperial court had really reached its limit. If the house collapsed like this, then it would be no wonder to the imperial court. It can only be said that the common people should suffer from this disaster.

"Your Majesty, look, it seems that we are about to arrive at the Chu Palace."

"Shall we go and see?"

Wei Zheng looked around and said suddenly.

It's snowing too much.

The scenery on both sides has changed a lot.

If it weren't for familiarity, I would have almost skipped it.

Walking and walking, they all arrived at Chu Wangfu.

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked around, and as expected, they turned around to check the situation, and they all came to Chu Palace.

"Hehehe, Wei Zheng, you really didn't pay attention if you didn't tell me."

"But, forget it, go back, don't go in."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

The direction they were walking was the Chu Palace in front of them. There was no way, this was the only way to return to the imperial city, unless there was a detour.

There is no need to detour.

"The King of Chu hasn't come back yet, and there is nothing to do in the Prince Chu's mansion."

"Go back, go back to the palace!"

Li Shimin walked forward.

The three of Wei Zheng also nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

There is nothing to see in Chu Wangfu now, so I should go back and think of a way to stabilize the current situation.

"Oh, no."

But after walking a few steps forward, Changsun Wuji's eyes seemed to be fixed on Chu Wangfu.

The voice was surprised.

Speak suddenly.

"wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Shimin was at a loss.

He glanced at Changsun Wuji and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, look...you look ahead, in the direction of Chu Palace."

Changsun Wuji said quickly.

The direction of Chu Palace?

Can you see Chu Palace from here? !
This place is still some time away from Chu Palace.

Li Shimin thought about it, but he still raised his head and looked at Changsun Wuji.

indeed.

It's not close to Chu Palace.

Can't see anything.

You can only see a corner of the eaves of Chu Palace.

At first glance, Li Shimin didn't find anything either.

but.

Immediately afterwards, the complexions of Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng changed suddenly, and they gasped in disbelief.

In this way, Li Shimin also immediately narrowed his eyes and concentrated his attention.

Now, he finally understood why the three of them were so amazed.

That's right!

The three of them are not gods, and they can only see a corner of the eaves.

However, just this eaves made Li Shimin realize something was wrong.

The surrounding eaves and roofs are all white.

covered with snow.

But the roof of Prince Chu's Mansion was indeed clean, the red walls and green tiles seemed to have been brushed, and there was no trace of snow at all.

Holy shit! !
Li Shimin thought he was dazzled.

He closed his eyes forcefully, and looked over again, it was still the same.

This is real!

That eaves, no snow!

Oh my God! ?

Li Shimin's scalp felt a little numb for a while.

Chu Palace... What are they doing in Chu Palace?
He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and the three of them looked at each other.

The three of them also looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss as to what to do.

How is this possible?
They thought they were wrong.

However, you can never go wrong.

The eaves are like a big black hole in a group of white snow, which is very eye-catching.

Why is there no snow on the eaves of Chu Palace?

Is it....
Has everyone in Chu Palace been cleaned up?
Should not be!

There is absolutely no need to worry about a house like the Chu Palace being crushed by the snow.

Moreover, even if it is cleaned, it is impossible to clean it so cleanly.

It was clean, as if it had never snowed.

Four people, speechless.

There are question marks in their minds.

what's the situation?
what happened?

Could it be that the snow covered the whole of Chang'an, and only the Chu Palace was forgotten?

How can it be!

"go!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves, his eyes flickered.

"Go and see, go and see, what's going on!"

Li Shimin's pace with the three of them couldn't help speeding up.

From time to time, he would look up at the buildings of Chu Palace.

As the distance got closer, the situation on the roof of Chu Palace became more and more clear.

Light!
Bright!
净！

There was no snow at all.

When they stood in front of the gate of King Chu's Mansion, they were all stunned.

In my heart, there is an unbelievable sense of unreality.

How is this possible?
The roofs of other people's houses are covered with snow, even the palaces in the imperial city are covered with thick snow.

But…….
What's going on in this Prince Chu's mansion?
It's outrageous!
Not a speck of snow could be seen.

Really nothing at all.

"Gudong..."

Changsun Wuji only felt that his throat was itching badly, and said, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

"Why, the roof of Chu Wangfu is so clean, it's weird, it's really weird."

Li Shimin scratched his head, and said angrily: "You ask me, I, who are you going to ask?"

"I don't know either, let's go in and have a look."

Li Shimin said, knocking on the door impatiently.

Soon, the door opened.

It was opened by a servant from the Chu Palace.

"See Your Majesty."

When the boy saw Li Shimin, he knelt down hastily.

"Exemption."

Li Shimin said as he walked inside.

The pace is hurried.

Could it be that the King of Chu even has such a house?
Grandma, if there is such a way to quickly clear the snow on the roof, it can be said to be a timely help to Chang'an, which is extremely precious.

Walking into the yard, inside, it was extremely lively.

From a distance, one could see the old man directing the maids and servants of Chu Palace to work.

Everyone wears a bundle around their waist.

They seemed to be taking what was in their bundles and spreading it on the roof.

"Sir."

Li Shimin flicked his robe, and it can be said that he trotted over.

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, there are a few more, hahaha, I don't know if the nobles are here."

"Such heavy snow, Your Majesty, you are still out of the palace."

When the old man saw the four of them, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

It can be said that they were very familiar with each other before.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, crossing his hands in front of his belly.

"Old man, tell me, what are you doing?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and raised his chin on the roof: "From a distance, I saw that the Chu Palace is different, it's true. When I walked in, I thought I was wrong."

"Today, I heard a report from the Jingzhao Mansion that many houses in Chang'an collapsed, so I went out to take a look at the situation."

"But I didn't expect that the roof of Chu Palace is so clean, why is that?"

Li Shimin is really now, he is no longer in the mood, and continues to go around.

Directly explained the purpose of coming.

"Yes, old sir, how did you do it?"

"The houses outside are covered in snow after all, and some houses even collapsed under the pressure of their backs. Saving the Chu Palace is an exception."

"It's amazing, it's really amazing! The whole Chang'an is covered in silver, and our Chu Palace looks like a huge hole from a distance. The roof is too clean."

Wei Zheng agreed.

"Mr., the current situation in Chang'an is not optimistic. If there is any good way, please don't be stingy."

Changsun Wuji bowed his fist solemnly, his face extremely solemn.

"Oh, this thing."

"The old man thought it was something else."

When the old man heard what they said, he suddenly realized why they came to Chu Palace in a snowy day.
