I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

People always say that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but this year's snow was like a shy girl, dancing for only two times before disappearing without a trace.

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

Zhang Xianhuai had a serious expression on his face. He stood respectfully in front of Li Chengqian, holding a secret report tightly in his hand, and began to report to Li Chengqian the intelligence he had collected recently.

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading rampantly outside of Chang'an City, and they are all unfavorable to Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian pretended not to hear. His eyes were fixed on the memorial sent by the cabinet in front of him. The pen in his hand did not stop for a moment. He just responded faintly.

Zhang Xianhuai raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Chengqian, and continued.

"Rumor has it that there will be little snow this year. The reason is that Your Majesty in the Taiji Palace failed to follow the will of heaven and was accused of being a tyrant."

"I have taken swift action and arrested many of those who spread these rumors among the people. Upon investigation, it was discovered that most of these people accepted bribes from aristocratic families and deliberately misled the people."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said softly, "Tyrant? I'll take it as a compliment."

Then he raised his head, looked at Zhang Xianhuai and asked.

"Xianhuai, how many people were arrested this time?"

Zhang Xianhuai quickly replied.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 1,213 prisoners, and they are now on their way to Chang'an."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"They are just some poor people who have been bewitched. Bringing them to Chang'an will only cause trouble."

"There are many people coming and going in Chang'an City now, and I am considering expanding the city."

"Where can we put them?"

"I have a kind heart."

"Send them directly to Mobei to participate in infrastructure construction. They can work without being paid. I think that's a great idea!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianhuai clasped his hands together and accepted the order respectfully.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and continued, "Xianhuai, you have made an invaluable contribution in wiping out the main branch of the Wang family."

"But you are already in a high position, and I don't have a more suitable reward for the time being."

"If you have any requests in your heart, you can tell your teacher directly and say that it is my reward for you."

Zhang Xianhuai's face suddenly showed joy, and his mouth widened: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian seemed to recall something, and his tone became serious: "If summoned, they will return this month. You will go to greet them on my behalf."

"If we summon this boy to go on a campaign, General Li Jing won't be able to stop him. When he comes back, have him wait at Liangyi Palace immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"

"Okay, go and call Mr. Qi for me."

After Zhang Xianhuai left, Li Chengqian recalled the rumors he had just heard and couldn't help laughing.

There was little snow this year, which was a blessing for Li Chengqian.

In this vast land of the Tang Dynasty, if heavy snow falls, I wonder how many people will suffer from hunger and cold in the cold winter.

Fortunately, anthracite was prepared in advance, but even so, Li Chengqian was still worried.

The Ministry of Revenue has not yet submitted casualty statistics because the figures reported by officials from all over the country are almost zero casualties, which is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation.

It can be seen that the imperial court had almost no control over the grassroots level of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly and lowered his head again to concentrate on reviewing memorials. Most of them were about the expenses required for his upcoming wedding ceremony, and he had to review and decide on them one by one.

……

"His Majesty!"

Mr. Qi's steady voice echoed in the hall. Li Chengqian heard it and slowly raised his head: "Master Qi, you are here."

"How is the progress of the Tang Daily Newspaper, which I am concerned about?"

Mr. Qi smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is quite difficult to advance."

"Many places are controlled by aristocratic families, and most people are illiterate."

"If we want to spread the Tang Daily throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to achieve without quickly eradicating the influence of the aristocratic families."

Li Chengqian's expression was solemn, and he nodded slowly: "I know. When Li Jing's army returns, I will be ready to eradicate these cancers completely."
