Chapter 386 Snow scene!

"This year's snow is a little earlier than in the past!"

Wu Zhi's first reaction was that if the snow continued to fall like this, it would definitely be a disaster for Da Song.

In the next few days, I am afraid that the entire Bianjing city will be hit by snowstorms!

Wu Zhi went to the top of a four-story building in his mansion, overlooking the entire Bianjing city in the distance.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, and many people on the street cleared the snow in front of their doors, and gathered together to discuss the weather.

Watch the snowflakes keep falling from the sky.

Li Shishi also came: "Master, there is so much snow, it's only winter this year that the snow is so heavy, it's a bit abnormal!"

Wu Zhi nodded, his eyes were a little dignified: "Looking at the posture of the snowflakes falling now, I'm afraid it will take a few more days!"

Li Shishi was surprised: "If in the next few days, wouldn't Bianjing City be covered with snow?"

Wu Zhi nodded: "At present, there is such a possibility!"

Wu Zhi knows that this is not the modern age, even if it snows heavily in the modern age, at most people stay under the covers and cannot come out.

I can still turn on the air conditioner, I don't know how comfortable it is.

But in ancient times, the weather was so cold that people would freeze to death.

Many rich and noble families can live by the stove, but the poor people only have a few torn quilts, how can they bear it.

There are also dilapidated houses in remote areas, and these people have a hard time.

Not to mention those beggars.

I'm afraid many people will die.

In fact, according to history, the natural disasters in the Song Dynasty were not very serious, but in the Ming Dynasty, it entered a small period of glacial stage.

What floods, droughts, locusts, there are too many such disasters.Even in severe cases, the people have nothing to eat, cannibalism occurs, and the whole city is paralyzed and cannibalism is everywhere.

This situation is appalling.

The Song Dynasty was relatively good, but it was definitely not a good thing if it snowed for too long.

If it is only the Song Dynasty, it is okay to say, the key area as large as the Liao Kingdom has also become the Song Dynasty.

Before the war between the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom spread, many places were already in dire straits.

It hasn't recovered yet.

At that time, natural disasters will be followed by man-made disasters.

Premature snowfall can lead to many consequences.If it keeps going down and people sit and eat, food prices will definitely skyrocket.

As the king of Yan, Wu Zhi must have many things to worry about as the grand master of the imperial court.

In the morning, Wu Zhi arrived at the palace.

The snow on the ground is very thick and it is difficult to walk.

Although Wu Zhi was sitting in a sedan chair, it was very difficult for the servants to walk.

But they were still talking about how beautiful the snow scene was.

When Wu Zhi came to the palace, many ministers also talked about it.

The point is, they waited for a long time, but the officials did not come. Finally, Li Yan came to report: "My lords, His Majesty is not feeling well today and will not go to court. Your lords can leave the court."

"what?"

The courtiers present thought they heard it wrong, the official family is not going to court today?
"The officials are not going to court today?"

"It's snowing heavily today, maybe because of this reason."

"Hehe, it's not the first time that the official family doesn't go to court. It's normal!"

Many courtiers still have matters to report. Since the officials are not going to the court, they have to deal with it later.

They didn't say anything about officials not going to court. This was a common thing in the past.

It is not uncommon for officials to miss the harem and not go to court.

Wu Zhi did not go to Song Huizong.

Instead, go back and wait for a few days.

Sure enough, as he expected, the weather might not get better in a short time. It has been snowing for several days in a row, and the snow in his courtyard has piled up to be a bit scary.

Wu Zhi asked his servants to clean up, otherwise it would be troublesome to walk.

this day.

Wu Zhi went to court again.

However, Song Huizong still did not go to court as usual.

Li Yandao: "Your Majesty is ill and will not go to court today! My lords, go back!"

"Why don't the officials go to court?"

"It's been three days, is the official really sick?"

"Who knows, I looked for His Majesty yesterday, but he was not summoned!"

Many courtiers shook their heads, but smiled and went back.

For some courtiers, there is nothing to do anyway, and it will take a whole morning to discuss things every morning, so some courtiers are quite happy, just go back.

what to do.

Wu Zhi felt that the weather was not right, so he still had to tell Song Huizong.

Moreover, Song Huizong said that he was sick, and Wu Zhi also wanted to talk about his concern.

When Wu Zhi arrived at Yanfu Palace, he found several courtiers at the gate, who were sent out by the people inside.

Even Cai Jing was dismissed by the eunuch.

A young eunuch smiled and said: "Master Cai, Your Majesty is not feeling well and has not seen anyone. Please go back, Your Excellency!"

As the prime minister, Cai Jing still has a lot of things to do. If he didn't go to court for a few days to see His Majesty, but he refused to let him see him, Cai Jing frowned, so he had no choice but to go back.

Seeing Wu Zhi also approaching, Cai Jing cupped his hands: "King Yan, His Majesty is unwell and refuses to see him, let's go back!"

Because Wu Zhi has a handle, Cai Jing still has to be polite. Although Wu Zhi has messed with his son, there are some things beyond his control as an official in the court.

Wu Zhi smiled and said nothing.

The eunuch inside saw King Yan, and said immediately, "Does King Yan want to see His Majesty?"

"En!" Wu Zhi nodded: "If it's inconvenient for Your Majesty, I can go back!"

The little eunuch respectfully said: "The King of Yan is joking! Your Majesty said that if the King of Yan comes, he will be seen!"

The little eunuch immediately made a gesture of invitation, inviting Wu Zhi to go in.

Wu Zhi nodded, then walked in with his hands behind his back.

"..." Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others were dumbfounded behind.

Wang Fu: "Lord Cai, Your Majesty sees King Yan, but you don't see us, this, this, this..."

Cai Jing shook his head: "The King of Yan is the King of Yan after all! Hey, that's fine, let's go!"

Cai Jing had no choice but to leave with his people.

When Wu Zhi came to the depths of Yanfu Palace.

Good guy, he was a little skeptical about Song Huizong's illness.

Take a look at this moment.

Song Huizong is in front of the table in a hall, staring at the snow scene painting outside the window.

The painting is meticulous and very serious, and Wu Zhi also saw that the snow scene outside the window in the painting is lifelike, with tall snow trees, snow-capped land, and the white palace covered by heavy snow outside is also lifelike.

Not to mention, Song Huizong's artistic attainments are really not ordinary.

Really well drawn!
Song Huizong did not go to court, saying that he was unwell, so he was painting beautiful scenery here?
This dedication to art has surpassed the governance of the country.

Let Wu Zhi feel a little bit, Song Huizong shouldn't be an official at all, but an artist.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is here!" Li Yan next to him reminded.

Song Huizong raised his head and said with a smile, "The king of Yan is here!"

Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty..."

Song Huizong smiled: "I know what you're going to say. In fact, I'm not sick. It's just this rare snow scene. I want to paint it! It's too boring in the morning. How can I feel comfortable painting such a rare beauty!"

"..." Wu Zhi was speechless.

Does Song Huizong know that this kind of heavy snow continues, it is really a rare disaster!

He is actually painting here leisurely?
"King Yan, come, take a look, how is my painting?" After Song Huizong finished speaking, he looked expectantly.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's paintings are so lifelike, so real! In terms of painting, Your Majesty is first-rate!"

Hearing this, Song Huizong burst into a smile on his face: "I am very pleased to be praised so much by King Yan!"

He knew that King Yan was a very talented person, and he didn't suspect that what Wu Zhi said was false, why?

Because his paintings are indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

That's nothing to say.He is still very confident.

Especially King Yan praised it, and Song Huizong was very happy.

Wu Zhi first communicated with Song Huizong for a while, and then Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although the snow scene is good, if it falls like this, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will be hit by snow. Your Majesty has to guard against it!"

Hearing this, Song Huizong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that King Yan has worked hard for Song Dynasty, but King Yan does not need to worry too much. The snow will stop in a few days, and nothing will happen!"

In Song Huizong's view, although there was not such a heavy snowfall in previous years, it usually stopped after a few days, and it was impossible to keep falling like this.

Anyway, there was a stove next to the main hall, and he was warm all over, not cold at all. On the contrary, he felt that it would be better if such a beautiful scenery could be maintained for a longer period of time.
