The snow was heavy enough that night.
Fortunately, in this era, the agricultural economy is not as developed as in later generations, and most families have to store grain and dried vegetables, and do not need to transfer transportation from outside the city, so the price fluctuations are not large, and there are many problems in organizing transportation and stabilizing market prices.
Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan are both capable ministers who are good at managing government affairs, plus Fan Siqi, Lin Pengyu and others act together, these things are enough for them to take care of flawlessly, but things like using the government's grain stocks to open warehouses to help the people need Yang Hao, the city lord, to personally order.
Yang Hao inspected the city and saw that the work of removing snow, treating the victims, and setting up porridge sheds to provide food had been rapidly launched, so he was relieved.
When he arrived in Dongcheng, he saw Xu Xuan directing people to strengthen the houses of the people in the shantytown, and several half-collapsed buildings were being supported by large trees for emergency repairs.
As soon as he saw Yang Hao arrive, Xu Xuan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Taiwei." ” Yang Hao nodded.
He asked, "It seems that before the collapse of a few houses and the reconstruction, where did these people settle down, did they have food and winter clothes?"
Xu Xuan said: "Taiwei rest assured, these people have been placed in the nearest Changqing Temple, and the grain, rice and bedding have also been prepared, so they will not starve to death and freeze to death." ” Yang Hao nodded happily, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "The scholar has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, so you can accommodate yourself in this small city in the Western Regions and do the things of the prefect of this county, and treat the adults badly." ” Xu Xuan said: "The people have no trivial matters, and Xu is very happy to be able to do something practical for the people."
However, Taiwei is busy with military affairs, so he came to inspect the whole city early in the morning and inquire about the people, it is really their blessing to have a parent like Taiwei in Yinzhou. ” Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that last year's Jianghuai flood, many people suffered disasters, but the lord of the country only cared about reciting poems and paintings, playing chess and worshipping Buddha, and actually had to wait until Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, ordered disaster relief, and then opened a warehouse to help the victims, not to mention that he did not care enough for his own people, but also gave Zhao Kuangyin a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and used his own treasury of grain, but he gave it to Zhao Kuangyin.
As a result, those people all had huge wealth, bought off the eunuchs and monks in the palace, and did things on the longevity lamp, so that the lord of the country who worshiped Buddhism and Taoism mistakenly thought that it was the will of heaven, and they were all released on the fasting day.
Although Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan's surnames have not changed now, their names have been changed to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court.
Yang Hao got Yinzhou, and was connecting Yinzhou and Luzhou to Hengshan as the basis, at this time he became famous, and the heroes of the Quartet and the eight-sided tribes rushed to him, and a large number of people were gathered under his command, but some of the elders were all promoted and arranged messengers, so no one linked them with Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan who died in Kaifeng in the Longxi County Mansion.
Yang Hao personally went to Changqing Temple to visit the affected people, and saw that they had really been settled and had no shortage of food and clothing, so he put his mind at ease, said goodbye to Xu Xuan outside the mountain gate, and continued to patrol forward.
Xu Xuan stood outside the mountain gate of Changqing Temple, with a slight wind.
Scraping the snow foam on the lintel, it poured straight into his neck, but he didn't realize it, standing there looking at Yang Hao's back until he disappeared at the end of the long alley When Li Yu asked him to escape from Bianjing with him, Xu Xuan did not hesitate for a moment, he did not have the fierce temperament of Chen Qiao, and when the soldiers came to the city, he would rather die than be a vassal, but his loyalty to the lord of the country was not questioned.
He would not take the initiative to beg for death, but if the country wanted to go anywhere, he would not hesitate to do so, and was willing to go with him to the soup, so he fled with Li Yu without hesitation.
After a month and a half in the royal garden, they had to leave.
First, that kind of place can't hide people for a long time, and in a month and a half, the vigilance of Bianliang City has been relaxed, and there is a chance to leave.
Second, the autumn harvest season is about to begin, and many vegetables in the royal garden have to be stored in the cellar, and it is inevitable that people will be found if they hide it again.
They successfully escaped from Bianliang City, but when they were about to enter the northwest territory, they showed their horses in Jiangxian County, and were suspected of being smuggling traders who asked them to be interrogated.
With their identity, how dare they wait for others to carefully examine it, and they have to flee in the wilderness at the moment, and the catchers and archers of Jiangxian County chased them all the way, and hurriedly escaped.
The lord of the kingdom was hit in the heart by an archer with an arrow, and his life was taken on the spot.
Xu Xuan's enthusiasm has come to naught, if the lord of the country is alive, then they may not be able to restore the Li family, but Li Yu is dead, with Xu Xuan's old political experience, he already knows that the Li family in Jiangnan can no longer recover the throne.
Although Li Zhongyu can also play a role in calling on the old department of Jiangnan, he does not have the prestige and identity of Li Yu, a former prince who has never mastered imperial power, even if he subverts the rule of the Zhao family with the help of Yang Hao, he can only make wedding clothes for others.
Xu Xuan is the minister of the Tang Dynasty Li Jing's deathbed minister, and he is also an important minister of Li Yu's dynasty, if Li Yu lives, whether it is for the name of his death or the loyalty and integrity he upholds as a scholar, he will be loyal to Li Yu, and Li Yu is dead, he is not very loyal to Li Zhongyu, a nipple child, and he also needs to do something for himself and his family.
There is no doubt that whether he wants to or not, he will rely on Yang Hao in the future, if he wants to make a choice between Yang Hao and Li Zhongyu, he is more inclined to this Yang Taiwei, who has the power of soldiers and has the momentum of a hegemon, to be his lord.
But this intention, he also discussed it privately with his close friend Xiao Yan.
But there has never been a final decision, Yang Hao is more like a Ming monarch than Li Zhongyu, and even more like a lord of the country, but he is now just one of the northwestern domains, does he really have that kind of luck to establish a country After standing for a long time, a gust of wind hit his robe, Xu Xuan shuddered, and then sighed and led his subordinates to the alley Yang Hao went all the way.
A big mansion suddenly appeared in front of him, there were only two big characters "Li Mansion" on the front door of the house, and there were several soldiers standing guard in front of the door, Yang Hao couldn't help but stop.
The people who live here are Xiao Zhouhou and Li Zhongyu, but their identities are the highest secrets, only a few important ministers around Yang Hao know about them, and even the soldiers standing guard at the door don't know the true identities of the people in the mansion.
There are many people surnamed Li in Yinzhou, Li Yide is a big family of Li in Yinzhou, a signboard of Li Mansion is hung at the door, and a few soldiers stand guard, which will not attract the attention of others at all.
Now Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan have made full use of their talents and become the two right-hand men in charge of civil affairs in their own marshal mansion, and these two people have quite unique views on the governance program of the northwest civil affairs, and have fully improved his ideas, Yang Hao only put forward a rough framework, and after their detailed formulation, it has been rapidly implemented and achieved remarkable results.
As for Jiangnan, he has sent someone to use the current rumors to add fuel to the fire, but for the time being, Li Zhongyu will not be of great use.
He didn't expect Li Yu to die on the road, he knew that Li Yu would have died, probably in the past two years, it is said that he was poisoned by the opportunity, wailing in pain, many people died of convulsions all over his body, and his death was miserable, but he didn't expect that he had tried his best to change the way he died, and he didn't save his life after all.
Thinking of Xiao Zhou, who was dressed in filial piety and cried with pear blossoms and rain that day, Yang Hao sighed secretly, now more than three months have passed, thinking of her cowardly and miserable appearance, Yang Hao is still a little discouraged, he wanted to visit the house, but finally stopped.
He tightened his head, turned his head and whispered to Mu Yu, "They are from Jiangnan.
I am not used to the cold in the north, and when I turn around, I will send more charcoal to the door, not even aquatic products. ” Mu Yu agreed, Yang Hao turned around and walked back, just a few steps away, a charcoal car suddenly rushed from the fork in the road, the driver on the car shouted, Zhang Huang was at a loss.
The road had been cleared by the soldiers and the people and shopkeepers on both sides of the alley, and only a thin layer was left on the ground, but it was even more slippery.
"Adults dodge quickly" Mu Yu jumped in front of Yang Hao with an arrow step, and shouted angrily: "Whose frightened horse hurt my family, I want you" Because of the startled horse, Yang Hao naturally avoided the side of the road, and the formation of the guards who came and protected before and after was also chaotic, revealing a few gaps, and the people on the side of the road wearing big sheepskin jackets who were struggling to pile up the snow suddenly raised their heads, their eyes shot a dignified fierce light, and pounced on Yang Hao.
At this time, a small trader pushing a wheelbarrow to sell dates also suddenly lifted the car, grabbed two copper shovels from inside, some people brandished shovels, and some people drew swords from the broom, all of them were desperate, and there was only one goal: Yang Hao Suddenly, the assassin's skills were clever, even if he woke up in time, the guards didn't have time to rush forward to protect him, plus the ground was slippery, the guards were wearing leather boots, and the speed was even slower, at this moment, a big broom had pierced Yang Hao's face, and a cold and shining shovel slashed obliquely towards his neck, and at the same time a sharp sword slammed towards his lower abdomen.
Yang Hao hurriedly flashed, the sword in his waist was sonorously unsheathed, the sword light flashed like electricity, and the long handle of the hard catalpa wood of the shovel was cut into two, the sword momentum did not stop at all, and the sword slashed downward, and the sharp sword struck loudly, and a string of sparks collapsed, the sword in Yang Hao's hand was unharmed, and the sword in the assassin's hand had a gap the size of a bean.
At the same time, Yang Hao hurriedly leaned back, and the broom slashed against his face, Yang Hao flew up, and the big leather boots kicked between the assassin's chest and abdomen, kicking him all out, blocking the route of several assassins.
Yang Hao's Qingshuang Sword has always been an ordinary sword since it was broken on the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, but at this moment, the sword on his waist is a sword that sharpens iron like clay, if not, he is not sure that he can cut the shovel with one sword, knock away the opponent's sword, and solve the crisis on both sides at the same time.
This sword is called Purple Electricity, Purple Electric Blue Frost, Male and Female Double Sword.
Zidian is the male, Qingshuang is female, and the two swords are given to the two daughters of the Zhe family, Zheziyue and Zheziyu.

The names of the two are obtained respectively to be a contract between life and death, to be happy with the son, to carry the hand of the son, and to grow old with the son.
As for the name of Zhesaihua, it was made up by later generations, in fact, their maiden name before marriage, after marriage, will not be made public at all, and the government records only contain it as Zhe's family, and her name will not be recorded.
When the eldest sister of the folded family folded Ziyue married, this purple electric sword made a dowry and followed her to her husband's house, and the folded son Yu was willing to give the green frost sword to Yang Hao, and her mind at that time was naturally self-evident, but the sword was folded in the south of the Yangtze River, and since then there is only purple electricity and no green frost in the world.
The eldest sister of the Zhe family married Yang Jiye, taught her husband and children at home, and often went out when she was no longer a girl, so she gave her husband this incomparably sharp purple electric sword as his talisman sword.
Yang Hao had the heart to persuade Yang Jiye to surrender, but he tried his best, and he really couldn't persuade this loyal minister to abandon the Liu clan of the Han Kingdom and assist him.
Although Yang Jiye refused to abandon the Lord to seek glory, he also felt Yang Hao's respect and courtesy to him, and saw that he could not persuade him to surrender, so he generously released himself to return, and also admired Yang Hao's high style and bright festival.
On the occasion of parting, Yang Jiye gave his portable sword to Yang Hao, which was regarded as a thank you for relieving him of the departure of his father and son.
Yang Hao actually didn't give up, so he naturally refused to cut off contact with him, and learned the origin of this sword, thinking that one day he might be able to use this purple electric sword to make Ziyu's arrogant little swan obedient, so he accepted it without hesitation, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
Those assassins didn't expect Yang Hao's sharp weapon to be so powerful, the blow that was bound to be won missed, and immediately joined forces to attack again, a big man with a shovel on the periphery and the assassin with both hands desperately blocked Yang Hao's guards, and the other three raised their blades, not giving Yang Hao the slightest respite.
Mu Yu slashed the neck of the assassin who flew over, raised the knife and rushed over, for fear that Yang Hao would have an accident, Yang Hao shook his wrist, and the scabbard in his hand popped out like electricity, hitting the assassin with a half-shovel handle, and the sword in his hand was like a flash of lightning, and quickly met the weapons in the hands of the other two assassins, one left and one right, two sword lights hit their blades almost in order, and at the moment of knocking their blades, the sword light swayed and stabbed at the throat of a person.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, these pedestrians are standing in a panic and watching from a distance, one of them is a white-bearded old man with a hunched waist, and he is about to bully himself to get closer, and suddenly sees Yang Hao holding a sword with one hand, and the other hand of the sword finger is shaking behind his back, his eyes can't help flashing, and he hurriedly stopped his footsteps, and the figure of the forward pounce naturally became a forward fall, staggered and stood steadily, in the eyes of others, it was as if this old man was squeezed by the people who watched the excitement, because the foot was slippery and almost fell, without the slightest abnormality.
Mu Yu and the other guards approached Yang Hao like crazy, a scimitar was like a hurricane, the whistle was fierce, under the attack of several knives, one assassin was cut off by the waist, the other two assassins were chopped off their right hand, and the other was cut off their neck.
The severed hand of the assassin screamed and spun away, and before he could hit the ground, he was stabbed in the back of the heart by one of the guards.
All this is only between the lightning and flint, four of the six assassins died, although the guards were outnumbered, seven or eight people fell, although there was no worry about their lives, but they were all injured, at this time there were only two people left besieging Yang Hao, seeing that the situation was not good, the two of them roared, one to the east, the other to the west, and hurriedly jumped into the alley, and the body was faster than chasing the wind.
Yang Hao raised his leg and kicked, and the shovel head flew up, chasing after the assassin who fled to the alley on the left with a terrible whistling.
When the assassin heard the movement behind him, he didn't want to swing his sword to block, and he didn't want the thing flying behind him to be neither a sharp arrow nor a spear, but a whirling shovel head, which was as sharp as an axe, turned into a phantom, whistling and spinning, which was a sword that could block it, only to hear a "click" sound, the sword broke, a "poof" sound, the human head flew up, and the headless corpse ran more than two feet away, and slipped to the ground with a pop, and jumped out seven or eight meters away against the snow.
Mu Yu led someone to chase after the person in the alley on the right, Yang Hao returned the sword into the sheath, and said lightly: "The assassin has excellent light body skills, no need to chase, the whole city is on guard, track down the murderer" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the crowd not far away, the white-bearded old man was gone, and Yang Hao couldn't help but smile lightly "Brother Hao, you're not hurt, are you?"
As soon as Yang Hao returned home, Dong'er, Yanyan, Doll, and Miaomiao, who had already received Xun'er, nervously greeted him.
Yang Hao saw Dong'er's pot-bellied appearance, he was really more nervous than Dong'er, and hurriedly grabbed her arm from Miaomiao's hand, and said worriedly: "What can I do, it's just a few bold little thieves, how can you come out and walk around, seeing that childbirth is imminent, if you slip on it, how can you get fetal gas." ” Dong'er looked him up and down carefully, and saw that he really hadn't been injured at all, so she relieved herself, she smiled sweetly, and said softly: "How can I be so squeamish, besides, the doll and Miaomiao are careful, and the ground is clean." ” Yang Hao said: "There is no big mistake in being careful, in short, safety first, no matter how squeamish you are, you are not allowed to walk around the courtyard again during this time."
Doll, Miaomiao, you watch her closely. ” Yang Hao said as he helped Dong'er back to the flower hall, and the family sat down, there were no outsiders anyway, so Yang Hao honestly and unceremoniously touched Dong'er's belly.
"Look, look, I'll just say, you're not afraid, the child is still afraid, it's such a cold day, don't freeze him, he's boxing inside to protest."
Dong'er is more pregnant, her abdomen is high and bulging, Yang Hao carefully strokes her belly, the little guy inside is really restless, is punching and kicking, Yang Hao's hand is pressed, I don't know if it is a small hand or a little foot, it is very powerful in the belly, if Yang Hao gently presses it in response, he will make more trouble inside, followed by Yang Hao's movements, Yang Hao couldn't help laughing and said: "This little guy, at first glance, is a naughty master, but not as quiet as his mother." ” Yanyan and Doll, Miao Miao looked at their own officials that were cautious, their eyes were very hot, I wish I had changed Dong'er to sit there, but I looked down at my flat lower abdomen, and I couldn't help but be secretly deflated, the three little beauties glanced at each other, tacitly, and secretly warned themselves: While Dong'er is pregnant, and winter official affairs are not busy, these days must do everything in their power to let the officials often go to their own rooms, teach him to do his best, work hard, and always let his Yang family's seeds take root in his belly to feel at ease.
"It's almost the New Year, and I have to tell the people in the house that firecrackers are not allowed to be used in the Shuai Mansion this year."
Yang Hao said, bent down again, put his ear on Dong'er's stomach, and listened to the healthy and powerful heartbeat inside, Yang Hao's heart suddenly moved: "Dong'er was pregnant later than Xiao Xuan, Dong'er should give birth in more than half a month, so Xiao Xuan should have given birth now":
