   Chapter 503 Heavy Snow (1)

After the palace banquet was over, Li Jing and Lu Mingyu returned to the East Palace together.

  At the end of the cold winter, the weather is extremely cold, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing. Blow out some alcohol.

   "Looking at the weather, it might be snowing soon." Lu Mingyu opened his mouth and said.

  Li Jing was absent-minded and hummed casually. He took off his cloak and put it on Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu's heart warmed, and he smiled softly: "I have two bodies, strong firepower, and I'm not cold at all. It's you, don't freeze."

  Li Jing was not in the mood to laugh, and reached out to wrap his arms around Lu Mingyu's shoulder.

  揝 elder sister Xuan is used to crowding in the middle of the mother and father, and when she sees this, she has to squeeze forward again. Qi Yun quickly grabbed it and whispered, "Father and mother have something to say, Mother Yun will take you back first."

   Sister Xuan was coaxed unwillingly to leave first.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing followed slowly and whispered.

"I know you're not happy." Lu Mingyu whispered: "Today, the emperor's grandmother suddenly talked about choosing a concubine, and the emperor's father clearly moved. Within a year or two, there will be new people entering the palace. I am also the queen mother. not worth."

   "It's just, don't talk about things like this in the family of heaven, it's also a common thing in the palace of officials and officials. If you run a business and open a shop, you have a lot of money in your pocket, and you want to marry a little wife. What's more, you are a prince!"

   I was busy fighting before, so I didn’t have the time or energy to toss. Now that the world has calmed the hearts of returning home from all over the world, it is not uncommon for him to have some arrogant and extravagant thoughts as the Son of Heaven.

   A trace of disgust flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he whispered: "I am a son, and I can't control my father and concubine. In the future, I will be filial to my mother and queen."

  Lu Mingyu hummed: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The queen mother is now open-minded and doesn't feel self-pity. As long as you can stand firm and don't take these things to heart, you can live the same life."

  Li Jing stopped and looked at Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu also stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

  Li Jing stared into Lu Mingyu's eyes and said softly, "Xiaoyu, let's be a loving couple for a lifetime. Okay?"

Without waiting for Lu Mingyu to nod, he continued: "I know you don't believe in eachother, so I never say sweet words. In the next three to five years, ten years, eight years, twenty years and thirty years. You look at me slowly. already."

   This situation and this scene will never be negative.

  The cold stars all over the sky fell into Li Jing's black eyes.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes were slightly warm, and he nodded after a long while: "Okay."

  Li Jing smiled, took Lu Mingyu's hand, and walked forward slowly. Lu Mingyu rested his head on Li Jing's shoulder. The two figures cuddled together, and the shadows gradually merged into one.

  …

  Yongjia's thirteenth year of the New Year came in a white snow.

  Since the first day of the new year, snowflakes have been floating.

  The snow was flying, the branches were like white crystals, and the ground was covered with thick snow. One foot stepped down, a deep foot socket, the snow submerged to the calf.

  The nobles, who burn the silver frost charcoal basin, have the stove in their sleeves, and wear thick cloaks, enjoy the rare snow scene in several years. When the interest comes, warm a pot of wine, burn a piece of incense, make the beautiful maid study ink, or write a poem or a painting, it is very happy.

   For the poor people, the heavy snow that has been falling for several days means cold and hunger.

  On the sixth day of the new year, the governor of the capital sent an emergency report that two counties near the capital were hit by snow.

   This New Year, Emperor Yongjia did not have a stable life, and Li Jing and several princes also entered the Wenhua Hall to discuss with the ministers about disaster relief.

Old Qiao Ge's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "Your Majesty, in the past ten years, there has never been such a heavy snowfall. The people in the city are still rich, with charcoal to burn and food to wrap their stomachs. The counties outside the capital, Some poor people have their houses blocked by the wind and snow, and they are about to freeze to death and starve to death."

   "The disaster relief must be done as soon as possible." The noble book, who was also full of bloodshot eyes, took over the words: "The minister has summoned all the officials of the household department and asked them to liquidate the treasury silver and grain to prepare for disaster relief."

  The eldest prince was on duty in the Ministry of Housing, and he also boiled for two days, his crippled right leg was aching.

   With the first prince's aggressiveness, he would never show it. He even opened his mouth to agree immediately: "Father, my son also lives in the official office with everyone in the household department, and will return to the house after the disaster relief is over."

  Emperor Yongjia didn't want to say more and nodded slightly.

   Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel said solemnly: "I ask the emperor to immediately issue a decree for disaster relief."

  Emperor Yongjia looked solemn: "I also have this plan. Now the snow has not stopped, the roads are blocked. I can't get out of the city even if I want to send money and food."

  The Ministry of War Yang Shangshu took over the words without hesitation: "This matter is handed over to the Ministry of War. The minister immediately dispatched people from the military and horse divisions of the five cities to clean up the official road."

Emperor Yongjia nodded: "Okay, I will give you two days. Within two days, be sure to clean up the snow on the official road 50 miles outside the city, and ensure that the grain and horses are transported out of the city. Li Xian, you will supervise this matter together. "

  The fourth prince immediately took orders.

  Emperor Yongjia glanced at the crown prince Li Jing and the third prince Li Hao: "The snow disaster in Pi County and Zheng County is severe, and someone has to preside over the disaster relief. Are you two willing to go?"

   Li Jing and Li Hao responded in unison: "My son will take orders."

   The eldest prince glanced at them silently.

   Going to the disaster-stricken counties to provide relief in person is a good thing to show your face and easy to gain fame. It's a pity that his useless right leg struggled to even walk in the freezing cold and snow, so he couldn't get out of the capital at all.

  The fourth prince is much calmer than the eldest prince.

  Li Jing is the Crown Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he is justified in going to disaster relief. Li Hao's holy family is strong and shrewd, and he can't ask himself. He will be at ease as his errand, and stop arguing with his brothers.

  Emperor Yongjia said solemnly: "You all go back and make some preparations, and leave immediately after the official road is cleared."

  …

   After Li Jing returned to the East Palace, he immediately summoned the officials of the East Palace.

   Fang Zi Zhan immediately said, "I'll go with His Highness."

   Zhou Li was unwilling: "I'll go too."

   Zhao Rui's eyes also lit up: "If you want to travel far away from Beijing, how can you be without me! I will go with His Royal Highness."

  Li Jing glanced at Zhao Rui: "The disaster relief is a lot of things. It's not a trivial matter. It's not a trivial matter. It's not a trivial matter. Once you go, you have to obey the orders.

   Zhao Rui: "…"

   Zhao Rui scratched his head, hesitant: "Otherwise, I'll stay in the East Palace, let Li Yan go!"

  Li Yan was enraged: "I planned to go. Who told you to rush to open your mouth."

   Zhao Rui smiled shyly.

  Li Jing was a little helpless when he saw it.

   Zhao Rui has no major problems, it is just the habit of the dandy son, he has to eat, drink and sleep wherever he goes. It is best to have fun such as cockfighting and running dogs and betting on horses.

   "Okay, Zhao Rui stays behind, you three, leave Beijing with me."
