Li Yuanji was very cautious about Li Shimin. In addition to his bad relationship, he also knew Li Shimin's personality very well, so he always doubted whether Li Shimin really gave up on the throne and fought for the throne, or did he have any conspiracy?

When Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuanji's inquiry, he was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head slowly and said, "I can't see through my second brother's thoughts, but I can be sure that he must be very dissatisfied with the transfer of military power. He just had to bow to me due to the situation. If he was given a chance to regain military power, he would never let it go!"

"That's for sure. The second brother is like a hungry wolf. If he can't kill him with one blow, he will definitely come back to take revenge when he recovers from his injury in the future, so..."

Li Yuanji wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng to consider eradicating the root cause, but before he could finish his words, Li Jiancheng waved his hand and interrupted him, "Fourth brother, you don't have to persuade him anymore. Your second brother is indeed unwilling to accept it, but after all, he is the brother of our mother and compatriots, and your third sister will never sit idly by and watch us attack your second brother. Even during this period, the second brother has been running towards Li Xiu. I suspect that he is just worried that we will attack him, so he ran to Li Xiu's place. Your third sister is next to you, so we have no chance to attack!"

When he said this, Li Jiancheng paused for a moment and then said, "But the second brother judged the gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart. I didn't plan to do anything to him. And now after he handed over the military power, he was like a snake with poisonous fangs removed. We didn't make any mistakes, and he had no chance to fight back at all, so we didn't need to make a fuss to the point of trashing each other!"

When Li Yuanji heard that Li Jiancheng was still unwilling to get rid of his second brother Li Shimin, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Although he was still a little unwilling to accept it, he knew that it was impossible to persuade his elder brother to agree with his suggestions. However, he did not relax his vigilance towards Li Shimin, and even secretly reminded himself that he must not relax his vigilance towards Li Shimin!

The snow fell all the time today. When Li Xiu woke up the next morning, he found that the snow outside had blocked the door. It was not until Yuechan and others cleared the snow outside that they opened the door. Yesterday, Li Shimin and his son did not go back because it was too heavy in the evening. The snow on the road had already disappeared, so they all went to Princess Pingyang to rest.

When Li Xiu went out, he found that everyone in the family had been mobilized. Yuechan directed the people to clean the snow in the yard, while Fat Sister and other guards went to the room and pushed the thick snow on the roof. Qi Niang and Hen'er and Xiao Ya were so happy that they were so happy that they were wearing like small cotton balls, pushing snowballs in the yard to prepare snowmen. Young girls such as Liu'er and Fan'er also started to cheer, and laughter kept ringing.

However, Li Xiu was a little worried when he saw this situation. He first asked Yue Chan to ask about the situation at the tea workshop. After all, the old house in the tea workshop has been around for a long time, and he was worried that it would be crushed by the snow. However, Yue Chan's answer finally made him feel relieved. It turned out that since last night, Qiu Niang and the guards were at night at the old house. After a while, they would push the snow on the roof, so there was no need to worry about the tea workshop.

The tea workshop was fine, and Li Xiu finally put down his worries, but then he put on his fur and went out without even having time to eat breakfast because he was worried about the situation in the Li family village. You must know that the house where Boss Liu and his friends lived was not as strong as his house. Such heavy snow would probably crush the house.

At that moment, Li Xiu left the gate, and a narrow road had been cleared outside the gate, barely enough to walk alone. He walked to Lijiazhuang with snow, and found that the village was also in full swing. Both men, women, young and old were mobilized. The men shoveled the snow on the roadside, while the women and the elderly used brooms to clean the remaining snow. Moreover, they not only cleaned the snow in the village, but also the snow on the official road leading to the outside of the village was also being cleaned.

"Uncle Liu, how is it in the village? Is there a house crushed by snow?" Li Xiu saw Boss Liu who was working at a glance and immediately stepped forward to ask. He saw Boss Liu and the strong laborers were all wearing single clothes, with steaming steam on their heads. It seemed that they had been working for a long time.

"The master has been bothering. The snow will not fall this year. This time, there was a snow disaster. Yesterday, I called all the men in the village to clean up the snow on the roof. In this way, a main hall of Dayan House collapsed. Now it can no longer be occupied. Now the people in their family have been scattered in other people's houses!" When Liu saw Li Xiu, he wiped the sweat channel on his forehead and felt a deep feeling of fatigue on his face. From last night to now, even people like him who are used to working can't stand it.

"Aren't the person injured?" Li Xiu asked again with concern when he heard this. If the house collapses, it can be built again. If the person is injured, it will be troublesome. Every winter when there is heavy snow, there will always be rumors of casualties in nearby villages.

"The big-eyed second boy originally lived in the west room of the main hall, and his house collapsed. However, this boy was clever and immediately got under the bed when he heard the sound was wrong. He was not seriously injured. A few blood marks were wiped with his arm, which was not considered a injury!" Boss Liu replied again. In the past, when encountering such snow disasters, at least a few people in the village would have to die, either frozen to death or starved to death. However, now they have food in their hands and are not panic. Before the winter, every family had stored enough food, so although it was troublesome to encounter such snow disasters, it was nothing.

"It's good if you're not injured. Uncle Liu, don't be too anxious to clear the snow on the road. If you are tired, go back to rest. I'll send someone something to Uncle Big-eyed's house later!" Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and finally reminded him with concern. Boss Liu is not young anymore, and he is really worried that he will be exhausted.

"Hehe, thank you for your concern. This work is nothing. No matter how tired you are, it is not as tired as during the busy farming season. And it is finished soon. In addition, the women in the village have also cooked hot soup. Why don't you stay with me and have something together?" Liu Boss Liu knew that Li Xiu must have not eaten breakfast, because whenever he encountered rain, snow and wind, Li Xiu would come to ask immediately. Meeting such a family is also a blessing for their entire village.

"I want to stay for dinner, but I have to go and see the government office of the Ministry of Agriculture. I don't know how the greenhouse is, so I won't eat the food!" Li Xiu spread his hands at this time and said helplessly. Although he was just named in the Ministry of Agriculture, he had to come forward when encountering such a major disaster, especially Yang Nong is so old that Wei Zheng is completely missing, so he has to go and see it no matter what.

"Well, the business of the master is important, so I won't keep you!" When Boss Liu heard that Li Xiu was going to the Agriculture Department, he immediately showed a look of awe and said, "The ordinary people in the Central Plains have always been very awe of the government. In their eyes, the affairs of the government are definitely much more important than those of their own, so naturally they dare not keep Li Xiu anymore, mainly because they are afraid of delaying his affairs.

Li Xiu also said goodbye immediately, and then walked towards the Ministry of Agriculture on the snow. The Ministry of Agriculture was on the edge of the official road, only more than 200 steps away from Lijiazhuang. The snow on this section of the road has been almost cleaned up. In fact, standing here in Lijiazhuang, you can see the outer wall of the Ministry of Agriculture’s yamen, but you can’t see the greenhouse inside.

At that moment, Li Xiushen came to the Ministry of Agriculture and saw that the originally prosperous small market outside was empty, and even the temporary shacks were almost crushed by snow. Fortunately, there were no vendors living here, otherwise they would have to freeze to death last night.

Li Xiu stepped on the steps and came to the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture. He knocked for a while before he heard footsteps coming from inside. Then a minor official opened the door. When he saw Li Xiu, he immediately bowed respectfully and invited him in.

"How is it in the yamen? The greenhouse behind is fine, right?" Li Xiu looked at the little official and felt familiar. Although he couldn't call his name, he remembered that he should be Yang Dui's subordinate, so he immediately asked.

"Don't worry, the temple minister braved the heavy snow last night and ordered everyone in the yamen to clean up the snow on the greenhouse all night, so the greenhouse was in good condition!" The tiny official replied respectfully. He followed Yang Dui and often listened to Li Xiu's teachings, and he admired Li Xiu's erudition.

"Wei Zheng is here too?" Li Xiu was surprised to hear the news. Wei Zheng also served as the Minister of the Sinong Temple, and was considered his immediate superior to Yang Nong. However, he was full of resentment towards this immediate superior, because he could not find anyone if he had any problems. Everything in the Ministry of Agriculture depends on Yang Nong to support everything in the Ministry of Agriculture. Even now Yang Nong is preparing to resign from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and stay in the Ministry of Agriculture to promote his.

When he heard Li Xiu call Wei Zheng's name directly, the little official immediately stepped aside and pretended not to hear it. Among the entire Ministry of Agriculture, only Li Xiu dared to call Wei Zheng that. And they all knew that Li Xiu was cheated by Wei Zheng to the Ministry of Agriculture, so it was almost everyone who knew that he was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng, and even Wei Zheng himself did not care at all.

Li Xiu really didn't expect that Wei Zheng would come to the Ministry of Agriculture at this time. And the little official said that he came here bravely in the heavy snow last night. This was very rare, so he immediately went to the room used by Yang Nong's office. In the words of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, it sounded a bit strange, like a different name for a toilet, but it was actually the office of later generations.

When Li Xiu came to Yang Nong's office room, he just opened the door and went in, but Yang Nong quickly met him and made a gesture to silence him. However, Li Xiu discovered that there was a person lying on the small bed in Yang Nong's room. This small bed was used for Yang Nong to rest when he was tired. After all, the old man was old and inevitably had time to lose energy. In addition, although he prepared a bedroom for him behind the yamen, Yang Nong sometimes handled official duties too late and sometimes slept here.

"Huh? Why is Wei Zheng sleeping here?" When Li Xiu saw the person on the bed, he couldn't help but say in surprise. The one lying on the bed was Wei Zheng who had disappeared for a long time, but at this time he was lying there with a peaceful look on his face, and the snoring sounds were really impossible to connect with his usual hardness.

Yang Nong pushed Li Xiu out of the door at this time, then gently brought the door with him, and then said with emotion: "It was the second day last night. Wei Xima suddenly came to the yamen in the heavy snow, and his body was almost frozen. However, after drinking a cup of hot tea and warmed up, he personally directed the yamen to clean the snow in the greenhouse and asked me to go back and rest. Until I got up this morning, the snow in the yamen was almost cleaned up, so he was so tired that he lay down and fell asleep."

"That's right. He often doesn't see anyone, and today he finally put some effort into our yamen." Li Xiu said without any sympathy when he heard this. Although he often doesn't come every three or five days, he is definitely much more diligent than Wei Zheng.

"You can't say that. It's understandable that Wei Xima doesn't have time to come. After all, he is the prince's confidant. During this period, the prince's strength has increased greatly and he needs to hire people. Therefore, Wei Xima is definitely very busy in normal times. And even though he doesn't come, our yamen can help us with money or people. This time, when he encounters a snow disaster, he came overnight regardless of his safety. This shows that he still attaches great importance to the Ministry of Agriculture!" Yang Nong still commented very fairly on Wei Zhengdao. In his opinion, the Ministry of Agriculture was able to get on track so quickly, thanks to the conditions that Wei Zheng had won them.

When he heard Yang Nong mention that Li Jiancheng's strength had a big increase, Li Xiu suddenly had an idea and said to Yang Nong with a smile: "Shangshu Yang, you must know that Your Majesty took away the military power from the King of Qin some time ago. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Yang Nong had been through two dynasties and was able to serve as a high-ranking official like the Minister of Revenue. He could definitely be called a tumbler in the officialdom, so Li Xiu wanted to hear his views on Li Shimin's loss of military power. After all, when it comes to life experience and insight, even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, he could not compare with Yang Nong.

"This matter? Hehe~" Yang Nong smiled and said nothing when he heard Li Xiu's words, and did not seem to want to express any opinions on this matter.

"Shangshu Yang, we are not outsiders, and I have the same position as you, and I am too lazy to care about the affairs of a few princes, so if you have any opinions, it doesn't matter!" Li Xiu asked now. The more Yang Nong didn't say it, the more interested he was.
