The heavy snowfall in the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan lasted for three consecutive days. The disaster spread throughout Guanzhong. Houses collapsed everywhere, people and animals froze to death, and countless people lacked food and clothing.
The imperial court attached great importance to it.
The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is the foundation of the Li and Tang dynasties. Once it becomes unstable, the world will be unrest.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the economy of Guanzhong was one of the best in the world. When describing the prosperity of Guanzhong, Sima Qian said, "The wealth of Guanzhong is the sixth." By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the economy of the north had declined due to frequent wars, and the wealth of the southeast had been controlled by Guanzhong.
Reliance.
But Guanzhong is still the center of the world, the heart of the empire,
There can be chaos in the world, but there cannot be chaos in Guanzhong.
Once Guanzhong is in turmoil, what will be shaken is the imperial foundation of the Li and Tang dynasties for generations.
However, such a large-scale disaster was not easy to manage even in the modern society of later generations, where "one side is in trouble and all parties support it", let alone the Tang Dynasty where transportation and communications were extremely underdeveloped?
After the rule base of the Sui and Tang Dynasties expanded, the demand for materials in Chang'an, which was the political center of gravity, also expanded sharply. The Guanzhong area alone could no longer guarantee supply, and it was necessary to rely on transshipment in the eastern region to ensure supply. The Grand Canal was dug in the Sui Dynasty, and water transportation was vigorously renovated in the Tang Dynasty.
reasons for this.
The only way to control the disaster is to rely on financial support from the southeast.
However, the overland road is blocked by heavy snow, and the Weihe River is frozen. There are Tongguan in the east, Dashanguan in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north. The four passes are guarded. It was originally a beautiful place, but now it has become a tight trap in the middle of the pass.
With the shackles on the throat, the entire Guanzhong is like a corner of death. Large-scale convoys and fleets cannot enter Guanzhong, and money and food cannot be transported in. The courtiers and people can only look at it and sigh, saying nothing.
**********
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
The snowstorm outside the city and the cries of the people were firmly blocked by a towering city wall. Inside the Zhumen Embroidered Tower, the high-ranking officials and princes of the Tang Dynasty could not hear or see, nor did they care. They were still making noises and singing.
Swallow dance.
They don't care about the mud-legged people outside the city. A few years ago, the war in Guanzhong was littered with corpses. Could it be that a heavy snowfall could kill more people than a war?
As long as the powerful soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are still there, you can sit back and relax.
The noble people are more concerned about one thing, an interesting thing that makes people laugh and laugh.
"Dote on me...don't lie to me...do what you promised me...help me when I'm bullied...make me happy...do what you want in your dreams...always think I'm the most beautiful
…”
When this sentence came out from the palace, the glasses suddenly broke...if there were glasses in this era.
Especially those women who live in the inner courtyards of deep houses and young ladies who have lived in embroidery buildings for a long time. Their monotonous and scarce lives are extremely short of spices. After hearing this, on the one hand, they were shocked by the second man of the house, and on the other hand, they spent the entire day
Keep these words on your lips.
Even if the social abandonment of the Tang Dynasty did not reach the extreme level of male superiority and female inferiority in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was still a patriarchal society. How could a dignified man say such spineless words without shame?
While making fun and joking, I also sighed secretly: If I could find such a man to marry in the future, what would a woman want in this life?
In addition, it is inevitable to talk about Fang Jun's daily behavior in the past to increase the conversation.
Not surprisingly, Fang Jun became popular.
His name was widely circulated in the inner courtyards of various prestigious houses, and he was slandered and ridiculed by many people for a while, viewing him as a man's shame and a benchmark of shamelessness.
When these words reached His Majesty Li Er's ears, as he watched the "Hundred Cavalry" in front of him investigate the secrets of the fight between Fang Jun and King Qi, His Majesty Li Er, who was so domineering, felt that his temples were "thumping" all the time.
, the persistent headache seems to have symptoms of recurrence.
His Majesty Li Er had no intention of paying attention to the increasing pain in his head. He was now filled with anger, coupled with the accumulated depression caused by the failure to deal with the disaster in the past few days, which made him just want to kill someone.
Who to kill?
Of course it’s Fang Jun!
When he thought that that bastard actually pretended to be like a little white rabbit to win his sympathy, and then made a wrong judgment, which led to him wrongly accusing his fifth son Li You, and ruining his whole life's reputation, Li Shimin felt itching with hatred and wanted to give birth.
Its meat!
What Li Shimin valued most was his reputation. How could he allow a younger generation to destroy his reputation in such a despicable way?
As for Fang Jun, he not only did not shirk responsibility from beginning to end, but even took the initiative to admit it. This was considered by Li Shimin to be a trick played by this little bastard to hide the truth.
In Li Shimin, one should not hate the murderous gangsters, nor the fat-headed officialdom bugs, but the most hateful ones are the treacherous villains who appear to be honest but are full of tricks.
Fang Jun is it!
"It's so shameless!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious and cursed. He really couldn't imagine how a proud man could say such shameless and spineless words.
He had met Fang Yiai many times. Although he was a little more honest, he was still an honest child. Why did he suddenly become like this...
His Majesty Li Er actually found that he could no longer think of words to describe Fang Jun's image after he said these words.
Anyway, it just doesn’t make sense!
In other words, this Fang Yiai is really a "Master Rabbit" and does not consider himself a man in his heart?
When he thought of this, His Majesty Li Er felt a chill in his heart...
In fact, of course it's not that Li Shimin is dim and ignorant, but who could have imagined that a person's temperament could suddenly undergo such an earth-shaking change?
According to common sense, the so-called character determines destiny, that is, a person's character determines his behavior, and his behavior determines his success or failure.
Li Shimin has an extremely accurate eye on people and is best at trying to figure out a person's character and thus judge that person's behavior.
However, he did not know that it was his proud way of viewing people that led to his wrong judgment.
Empiricism kills...
Li Junxian on the side handed over the secret fold and stood by the side, habitually silent. However, he did not dare to look up to the sky in front of the emperor, but he could lower his head and count the ants...
Of course, there can't be ants in the Taiji Palace. But that's not important. What's important is that Li Junxian understands that no matter how angry His Majesty is, the affairs of the Tian family are not something that you can get involved in. He is your Majesty's minister, so what does Your Majesty say?
Just do what you want, and don’t say anything else, don’t take a stand, and don’t participate.
His Majesty Li Er felt sulky for a while and felt that it was not easy to vent his anger.
First of all, if you punish Fang Jun severely, wouldn’t that mean you are clearly admitting your mistake?
His Majesty Li Er, who is stubborn and extremely arrogant, will never do such a thing as slapping himself, absolutely not!
Secondly, Fang Jun's father, Fang Xuanling, was his loyal minister. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers started at a young age, and he rose up in the battlefield, so that he now rules the world. He has always been loyal to him, and his emotions have already transcended those of ordinary monarchs and ministers.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling was still in Shangshu Province in front of the Taiji Palace, spending all his time and food to deal with the snow disaster, and he had done a great job with his hard work. If he punished Fang Jun too severely, I am afraid that Fang Xuanling would be old and cherish his son, and feel sad in his heart. But if he punished Fang Jun too lightly, I would like to take care of him.
Fang Jun's stocky figure doesn't seem to matter at all...
His Majesty Li Er was confused.
After thinking for a while, he saw Li Junxian who was silent on the side and asked: "That day when Fang Jun left the palace, did he meet Gao Yang?"
Li Junxian said respectfully: "Yes."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "Please tell me the scene of that day, especially the conversation between the two. Don't omit a word."
He wanted to tell whether Fang Yiai was a rabbit from various clues...
Li Junxian bowed slightly: "No."
Then he spoke in a plain tone, reciting the scene of the "accidental encounter" between Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang that day, just like a report. However, when he dictated Fang Jun's shocking words, he was already as solid as a rock because of the battle formation he was used to.
Xin Xing, the corners of the mouth are still slightly twitching...

In addition, I still have to ask for recommendations and collections...
