The puppy whined twice and thrust back and forth in the prince's arms.

The prince watched the courtiers leave the palace, looked at the dog in his arms, and put it into the warm palace.

When Changsheng got up to eat, the palace maid bought a small basin for the prince's puppy and put some bones for it to chew on. But the Husky leaned over to the longevity bowl again, his head was beaten so hard that he had no memory at all.

Changsheng was very measured when he slapped the dog. He retracted his sharp claws, leaving only the thick pads of flesh. The slap made a fierce, snapping sound.

The husky cub is already a ball of fluffy. It is winter, and its fur is getting thicker. Its four paws are short and small, like a stuffed ball. It probably doesn't hurt much when it is beaten. It has been fighting repeatedly. I really like sticking to Changsheng.

Recently, both Si Heng and the Crown Prince were busy with political affairs, and their hearts were tightly wound, unable to relax. They looked at the two stuffed balls rolling in the hall, making a fuss, and their expressions became much calmer.

Even if there is no need for classes in the study room, Si Ruochen will continue to study. Si Heng will personally check his homework and never slack off.

This made the few young princes living in the prince's residence both envious and sympathetic. Although the father was particularly doting on his younger brother, he was also quite strict. If they were in a different place, they wouldn't be able to do as well as the younger brother and satisfy their father all the time.

When the snow stopped, the capital began to organize people to clear the snow and clear roads. They counted the houses that had collapsed after the heavy snow. The Ministry of Industry sent people to reinforce and repair them.

Most people in the capital live in brick houses, and some live in shacks in back lanes. They are much poorer. The houses are made of mud bricks or wooden sheds, with a layer of thatch on the top. Even if the snow is swept away from time to time, the thatch cannot withstand it. Heavy snow and strong winds caused the roof to collapse.

Fortunately, the weight of the roof is limited when it is pressed down. Most people who are pressed below are only injured and will not die immediately.

Changsheng was bored in the palace and couldn't stay any longer.

As soon as the ban in the palace was lifted, it followed Gao Ying, Luo Xing and others out of the palace to look for living people in the collapsed shantytowns.

Even if they can't be crushed to death, in this weather, if they can't light a fire to keep warm, the buried people will easily freeze to death.

Changsheng's five senses were extremely sharp, and he was followed by a group of servants from the Jingzhao Mansion, as well as the imperial guards who came out to help with the rescue.

It finds people very quickly. After it finds someone, it meows a few times and scratches it with its paws, and others will understand what it means.

Once it found one, it was easier to use than the hunting dogs raised by the imperial court. Some people voluntarily participated in the rescue, and followed the palace guards and called it "Master Changsheng."

Si Heng came out of the palace, took the prince and the young prince with him, and inspected them personally.

At the beginning,

There is still some chaos in the capital. While clearing snow, searching and rescuing, and taking care of the injured, it was quite overwhelming.

Some idle people took advantage of this opportunity to steal property and loot from other people's collapsed houses, causing people's hearts to wander.

Si Heng directly ordered people to kill a few local gangsters, and the blood stained the snow red. The surrounding area suddenly became quieter, and only the sounds of begging for mercy were left.

Si Heng pointed out a few more people and asked them to take charge of some of the affairs. The people assigned by His Majesty personally worked hard and worked hard for His Majesty to keep everything in order.

The number of casualties in the capital was not large, and the wounded were all treated and provided with meals and decoctions every day. When the weather clears up, the Ministry of Industry will send people to repair the collapsed houses and let them return home as soon as possible.

In order to reduce the possibility of people getting sick, Si Heng asked the Taiyuan Hospital to prescribe a cold-proof decoction. One set of medicinal materials can brew a large pot, and the price is not expensive, allowing the people in the capital to buy it by themselves. Those from poor families can get a bowl for free to warm themselves up and avoid cold.

The New Year is approaching, and every household begins to prepare New Year's goods. Even if it snowed heavily not long ago, the sadness in people's hearts has been suppressed and turned into expectations for the New Year.

The days in the capital are getting better and better. Everyone is sitting on the warm fire bed. In order to save firewood, the whole family gathers together and drinks a bowl of spicy medicinal soup. After a while, a sense of warmth comes out of the whole body. Even if the snow is heavy, I am not afraid anymore.

Outside the capital, some places are really poor and far less safe than the people in the capital. However, they have fire pits, some clothes and quilts made of chicken and duck down to keep warm. After a while, they can survive this winter.

In fact, people's vitality is quite tenacious. As long as they have a little warmth, a little hot water to drink, and enough food to survive the winter, they can survive.

It was cold and snowy. In order to help the victims, Si Heng ordered that everything in the palace should be kept simple and no palace banquets would be held. However, the rewards are still the same as in previous years. Those with demerits will be punished and those with merit will be rewarded.

Although there are no palace banquets in the palace, there are family banquets. On New Year's Eve, the heads of the palaces, princes and princesses gathered together to have a meal with Si Heng.

Imperial dishes tend to get cold easily, so this year they are served in hot pot. In the past, there would be singing and dancing, but this year it was also simplified. There was only the sound of silk and bamboo, and no actors dancing.

Si Heng knew that everyone would be cautious when he was present. After the heads of the palaces presented their gifts, he directly let people disperse and went back to the palace to hold the annual banquet. The specifications were mentioned according to the rules.

The second prince, fourth prince, and princesses all returned to the palace with their mothers and concubines. The prince stayed here, and the third prince and fifth prince were also kept.

The third prince’s biological mother treated her very badly

Well, those who are now very ill may not live for a few years. Although the fifth prince's biological mother is not dead, she is now deeply shocked and a little crazy. Instead, she blames the fifth prince. Rather than letting them go back, it would be better to stay in Zichen Palace for the New Year.

Si Heng saw that everyone except him was a child at the banquet, so he called several people from Qingning Palace to come and stay up together. Although this year was not as lively as the palace banquets in previous years, it was warm and affectionate.

When the bells symbolizing the New Year rang, the sky suddenly lit up and fireworks bloomed. Although the patterns were not as many as in later generations, the colors and scale were far beyond the past.

The people came out to watch, thinking that it would only be bright for a while, but the first fireworks seemed to be just a sign, and the later fireworks were more brilliant, like thousands of meteors and pear blossom rain.

The last fireworks bloomed, leaving four big characters in the sky - "Peace and Prosperity in the Country and the People". People who saw it were immediately shocked, surprised, and very happy.

The new year has arrived. Even if the ice is three feet thick, it cannot cover the enthusiasm in people's hearts. With Your Majesty here, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

In order to study gunpowder, Si Heng once found some craftsmen who specialized in making firecrackers. But firecrackers and bamboo are closely related to their ability to explode, and the formula is far from the effect Si Heng wants.

Until Tian Xingzi began to "refine the elixir", it was more like smelting minerals than refining the elixir. He knew which minerals would emit fire and explode. After finding the direction, he soon made a result.

The fireworks on New Year's Eve were the result of his improvement. The real gunpowder was not very stable. The micro-dose he used every time could already make the surrounding palaces vibrate up and down.

The palace was not a place where he could experiment recklessly. After the New Year, he would go to the deep mountains and old forests to continue his experiments until he could make stable gunpowder.

Fireworks naturally have more than one effect. Since the New Year's Eve shocked the entire capital, the royal family and nobles of the family have been ready to move. If they could have such a banquet when they held it, how festive would it be?

No one dared to ask His Majesty, but only inquired in secret.

However, there was soon a sound in the capital-

Fireworks can not only be bought and sold, but also customized! Ordinary fireworks are already expensive, and customization is even more expensive. There is only one quota per month, and the highest bidder wins.

Fireworks are indeed very profitable, but they are also dazzling, attracting scholars and poets. There are many poems in Beijing praising the beauty of fireworks. Those noble families who want to save face buy fireworks while envy the profits behind the scenes.

The fireworks are sold in a six-story building called "Tianxing Building". It is named after "Tian". Anyone with a little bit of brains knows who the backer is. Even if they are jealous of the profits from fireworks, they dare not make a move on it.

The enthusiasm for fireworks has just faded a little, and Tianxing Building has launched a new product, a transparent and clean colored glass that can be inlaid on windows, especially suitable for winter snow viewing.
