Chapter 249: Li Shimin was shocked! How could the Chu Palace be like this!(1/3)
"Your Majesty, look at your current state of mind."
Queen Changsun was really worried.
Last night, Li Shimin almost stayed up all night again.
Li Shimin swallowed and nodded.
He glanced outside and walked towards the outside, thinking of going to Tai Chi Palace to handle some official business.
In this weather, the morning meeting has been cancelled.
However, all kinds of important information are still gathering towards the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Not long after Li Shimin walked out, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui were carrying their robes and walking hard in the snow step by step.
His face looked a little anxious.
Breathing, some wheezing.
His expression was a little panicked.
When Li Shimin saw them, he stopped.
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, last night, houses collapsed to varying degrees in Chang'an. What the pharmacist said is correct."
"With such thick snow, people's houses can no longer hold on."
"The houses in Chang'an City have collapsed, and the snow on the Zhuangzi outside Chang'an will probably cause even more serious damage!"
Wei Zheng quickly reported.
At dawn today, they received the following news.
As expected, they came directly to the imperial city.
If the snow continues, apart from the imperial city, all the houses in Chang'an will probably collapse.
Then it will be really troublesome.
People are living on the streets and can't even find a shelter from the wind and rain. So what if there is briquettes?
When the time comes, the stable situation in Chang'an they finally achieved will completely collapse and fall back into chaos.
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui also looked at Li Shimin bitterly.
House seemingly endless rain.
The hemp rope is specially selected to be cut at the thinnest point.
Misfortune only seeks out misfortune.
This news really adds insult to injury.
Li Shimin's already ugly face became even more ugly.
However, after all, he was somewhat prepared in his heart. Li Shimin took a deep breath and walked directly outside without going to the Tai Chi Palace.
"Let's go and check out the situation."
"What's the situation with the collapsed houses in Chang'an City now?"
Li Shimin asked directly.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui quickly followed behind.
"Your Majesty, the collapse situation just appeared today, so there is not much."
"However, if we don't take precautions and take measures, if the snow continues to fall like this, it will be really troublesome."
Changsun Wuji quickly replied.
Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the current situation is quite acceptable. Those people who were injured due to damage to their houses have been properly accommodated by Jingzhao Mansion."
"But if it continues to get worse, there is nothing the Jingzhao Mansion can do."
"At that time, all the people in the city will have to stand on the ruins. This..."
Wei Zheng did not continue.
But several people knew the situation well.
By then, Chang'an City will really be completely destroyed.
In fact, it was even worse than the Turks' attack.
Li Shimin's eyes were ashen.
No words were spoken.
Walked out with difficulty.
The snow seems to be lighter and falling sparsely.
Come out of Zhuque Gate and walk directly towards Mingde Gate.
At first glance, the houses on both sides of Zhuque Street are somewhat damaged.
However, it is still acceptable.
After all, the architecture here can be said to be the best in Chang'an besides the Imperial City.
If these houses collapse, no houses in Chang'an will be able to stand.
Li Shimin turned a corner.
Walk to the nearby shop.
He saw several collapsed houses appearing from time to time among the group of houses.
However, for now, the quantity is still completely acceptable.
not much.
Many people are clearing the snow on their roofs, but the speed is a bit slow.
The snow is too thick.
It's also too heavy.
The common people didn't have any tools and just used sticks to sweep down.
Li Shimin walked around and saw a few depressed people on the road.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Shimin called out.
The man glanced at Li Shimin, slightly frustrated and disappointed, and replied: "Nothing, I was thinking of going out to buy some vinegar cloth, but I didn't expect that they were all closed."
"There's no salt left either."
"Well...it might be due to the heavy snow and the businesses are closed. I'll have a look tomorrow and there should be some."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt slightly relieved.
I thought something had happened, but I just didn't buy any salt.
Li Shimin is not worried about this.
Although salt is precious, it is never in short supply.
There are quite a few salt shops in Chang'an, and it is estimated that the stock alone can last for more than half a year.
Li Shimin continued walking forward with the three of them, observing the disaster situation in Chang'an, but did not take it to heart.
Not only him, but also Changsun Wuji and the other three didn't think much about it.
I guess it was just because of the heavy snow that the merchants just slept in.
As they walked and watched, Li Shimin, Chang Sun Wuji, and the three of them looked a little solemn.
"The situation is already very critical."
"The snow is so heavy. If there is another wave at night, more houses will collapse tomorrow."
"Chang'an is like this now. It can be imagined that it is probably even more difficult for those Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City."
Li Shimin's voice was a little deep.
Although the situation is under control for the time being, it is still acceptable.
But the loss this time is still not small.
If there are a few more waves like this, the situation that has been temporarily stabilized in the past few days by relying on briquettes as a work-relief strategy will directly collapse.
Changsun Wuji nodded.
"That's right."
To be continued...
