Chapter 2792 The First Snow
Wu Meiniang covered her face with her hands, spat, and pretended to be angry: "How did you learn to be so dandy and vulgar after only a few days in Jiangnan? Tell me honestly, did you have fun with His Highness the King of Wei in Jiangnan, sleep in flowers and willows, and learn how to behave like a dandy?" Broken? ”
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Facts speak louder than words."
"Ouch?"
Wu Mei Niangyu held the pot in her hand and filled the wine glass with wine, but her eyes glanced at Fang Jun up and down, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised with a look of contempt.
Fang Jun said "Hey",
He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Wu Meiniang poured him another drink, and then poured herself a glass. She clinked the glasses with Lang Jun, their eyes met, and she slowly took a sip of the wine.
There is something special about the reunion between husband and wife, saying some shameful and indecent words.
Fang Jun put down his wine glass and said warmly: "Chang'an is in a turmoil these days, and the situation is unpredictable, but the family's property has not suffered any losses. Thanks to my wife's hard work, I feel both grateful and ashamed for my husband."
Now that the Fang family has become a staunch supporter of the prince, the backbone of the "princeling party" will inevitably be regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the forces supporting the King of Jin. Although the attack on the Fang family has not been made public, there must be a lot of dirty tricks in private. Wu Meiniang single-handedly supports the huge family business of the Fang family, and this blessing cannot be explained to outsiders.
Even though he is the most powerful "Eternal Emperor", his current experience is different after all, and he has not been able to become a "Queen in his entirety". His abilities are greatly reduced, and he is inevitably unable to deal with these matters.
Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly, and covered her husband's palm with her snow-white hand, swaying gently, with love flowing in her eyes: "What does this mean? Looking at the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever been able to hand over all their property to a small man. Concubine, please take care of me. Since I have received your husband’s sincerity, I should try my best to take care of my husband’s family business. , so that my father, mother, sisters, and sisters can live a leisurely and happy life. What's more, I am not one of those ladies who stay in the house and don't go out. I really enjoy this bossy style all day long. If you have nothing to do, you may get sick from boredom. ”
Well, although Fang Jun felt a little guilty for leaving a lot of things to Wu Meiniang alone, he also believed that Wu Meiniang was sincere in what she said.
If there was no such ambition and greed for power, how could she be the only queen in history?
Experience can change, and abilities may vary, but the character of holding power and glory cannot be changed...
The cold wind was howling outside the window, and the red candles were burning brightly inside the house. The couple was drinking wine, talking and laughing in low voices.
Fang Jun then explained the current situation in the DPRK one by one, and asked Wu Meiniang for his opinion on how the situation of the prince's faction and his own family was developing, as well as the impact of the Guanlong nobles brazenly breaking the bottom line and openly assassinating important court officials.
Talent is something that is innate, and sometimes it is really annoying.
Some people advocate the equality of all living beings, but how can equality be possible? Not to mention the identity and family background that were already determined before birth, this innate talent alone is enough to show that there is no equality in the world.
Effort is indeed important, but more often than not, when you work hard day and night, it is often not worth the moment of genius' realization. Many achievements that you need to work hard and exhaust yourself to achieve are easily achieved by some people just by playing around.
An athlete with outstanding athletic talent can break world records and improve the limits of the human body through acquired hard work and systematic training. However, if he is an ordinary person, even if he is exhausted or disabled by training, he will never be able to reach such heights.
Fang Jun was sincerely convinced of Wu Meiniang's talent in politics.
The husband and wife whispered in low voices, exchanging their views and speculations about the court situation, until the watchman in the mansion beat the midnight drum and then dispersed from the late-night snack.
Fang Jun wanted to sleep on the same bed as Wu Meiniang, but Wu Meiniang blushed and pushed him to Xiao Shuer's residence.
Xiao Shuer had already fallen asleep, and when she woke up from being tormented, she bit her lip and rushed him to Qiao'er's room...
Everyone in the house knows that Qiao'er is Fang Jun's personal maid. She has served Fang Jun since she was a child, and her relationship is very unusual. Although she has not been officially included in Fang Jun's concubine, the lack of this procedure does not affect Qiao'er's fact. She became a person whose status was second only to Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shuer, and Jin Shengman.
As the night leak deepened, Qiaoer blushed and let Fang Jun into her room, gently took off his cotton robe, and then leaned over to take off his shoes and socks.
Fang Jun sat on the edge of the kang, looking at the soft and slender figure of the woman in front of him. He couldn't help but think of the time when he had traveled to this place. He couldn't accept it for a while and ran to the roof in the middle of the night to drink and go crazy, causing a lot of noise in the whole house. A scene...
After taking off her shoes and socks, Qiao'er stood up to fetch water to wash his feet, but he grabbed her waist and hugged her into the warm bed with a "squeak"...
*****
Before the fifth watch, it started to snow heavily in the sky.
The first snow since the beginning of winter came quietly, without being accompanied by the roaring north wind, and decorated the Guanzhong Plain with a silvery white color in a "moisturizing and silent" manner.
If it had been left in the past, such heavy snowfall would have inevitably caused houses to collapse, people to be displaced, countless people to freeze to death, roads jammed, and people crying inside and outside Chang'an.
However, since the establishment of the Jingzhao Mansion, Fang Jun and Ma Zhou, the two Jingzhao Yins, have cared about people's livelihood and been diligent in government affairs. They have often sent Yazhong officials to various jurisdictions to inspect people's houses. If there are dangerous houses, or summon local officials to assist Repairs, or funding from the Jingzhao Prefecture will allow the people to maintain their shelter to the greatest extent possible when rain or snow disaster strikes.
In addition, the "Disaster Relief Emergency Office" jointly established by various yamen will be launched as soon as a natural disaster strikes. Various disaster relief materials will be quickly transported to the disaster area and distributed to the people, so that the people have rice for cooking and medicine. Medical and firewood are available to reduce the damage caused by disasters as much as possible.
At least within the Guanzhong area, the harm caused by natural disasters has been greatly reduced compared to the past, making the people's sense of belonging to the emperor and the empire stronger.
So now every time it snows heavily in Guanzhong, except for the officials who need disaster relief who are dizzy with their work, most people can treat it calmly, and even take it as a surprise, bring some family members and three or five friends with them at home or simply Go out of the city and find a place to drink wine, admire plum blossoms, laugh and talk about romance.
In the past, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was also so casual and open-minded. It was a very relaxed and comfortable thing to gather in the palace with a group of clan members to eat hot pot and drink wine.
However, early this morning, when Li Zhi heard the sound of snow being swept outside, he jumped up from his bed, quickly put on his clothes and pushed out the door. He looked at the snow on the ground in the palace and the silvery white on the roof. The whole person's spirit was anxious.
The string of bubbles floating on my mouth overnight became increasingly crystal clear...
Princess Jin hurriedly put on her clothes, picked up a fur and put it on Li Zhi, closed the door, and pulled Li Zhi back into the palace. She complained slightly: "It's true, Your Highness, it's so cold outside, and What should I do if I get cold while standing at the door? Besides, it’s still early and there’s no morning service today. It’s not too late for Your Highness to take a nap before going to the Ministry of War.”
However, Li Zhi turned a deaf ear to her concern and thoughtfulness. He returned to the house and threw his fur aside, sitting on the chair and sighing.
The maid brought a cup of ginseng tea. Princess Jin took it and sent the maid away. She held it in front of Li Zhi and placed it on the coffee table. She asked curiously: "Why is Your Highness so depressed? But he didn't sleep well last night. Cool? ”
Li Zhi glanced at his princess, sighed again, and then said: "I lost two packages of ordnance, and there is no trace of them now. This is enough to upset me. As a result, this year's heavy snow came earlier than in previous years. This transportation The ordnance ships are still on the Yellow River. What if the season is delayed and the mountains are covered by heavy snow in Liaodong? "
The gang of censors at the Censorship Station had nothing to do and killed themselves. Because they lost two bags of ordnance, these people sent one memorial after another to the palace. Each one was to impeach themselves. This was enough. He was very anxious, and now that it was snowing heavily today, it made him even more anxious. (End of chapter)
