The Human Emperor

The huge palace was like an ice cellar at this time. It was extremely cold. Li Heng grew up in the palace. This was the first time I saw this scene.

The important place of the imperial palace has always been very carefully selected. The place where it is located must be the place where the dragon energy gathers, and in the imperial palace, there is the protection of the Three Emperors' circle, which has a great resistance to the cold.

Even the palace is so cold, the folk...

Thinking of this, Li Heng couldn't help but reveal a deep worry.

The country is big, the people are the most important, the society is the light, and the emperor is second. In the face of this unprecedented cold, even if he is the powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what he can do is very limited.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a caring voice came from behind:

"It's cold, you should take a good rest, just leave everything to the old slave to handle it."

Before the voice fell, a thin figure quickly rushed forward, reaching out and closing the window.

But just for a moment, puff, a fire in the room lit up, Li Jingzhong quickly lit a charcoal fire in a large bronze cauldron in the palace, and the raging fire immediately dissipated a lot of the cold in the room.

"Looking at your majesty's sleep before, the old slave courageously didn't dare to make too much fire for fear of disturbing your majesty.

Li Jingzhong stood not far behind Li Heng and said respectfully.

Li Heng stood still, and it didn't seem surprising that Li Jingzhong appeared and what he did.

"How are the arrangements made by the cabinet?"

Li Heng asked.

Since receiving Wang Chong’s letter, the Qin Tianjian has probably calculated the specific time period when the Great Ice Age will come. The cabinet, led by Taishi and Taifu, has been convening the ministers to discuss overnight to arrange for the anti-Great Ice Age. thing.

"A notice has been issued, doors and windows will be strictly closed during this period, and the people have been notified that they can enter the cellar and begin to try to resist the wind and cold."

"In addition, after such a long period of preparation, every household should have enough food in stock. Even if some people are poor and insufficiently prepared, the imperial court will provide them with food for the winter after sending out a survey."

Li Jingzhong bowed her waist and said sincerely.

Li Heng nodded, his expression relaxed a little, paused, and then said:

"In addition, I have issued an order that all the forbidden troops will return to their residences to avoid the wind and cold!"

"Old slave follow the order!"

Li Jingzhong was startled first, and quickly answered.

The Forbidden Army has the responsibility of guarding and must stand guard outside. If it is an ordinary wind and snow, this kind of cold wave may be difficult for the Forbidden Army to bear outdoors.

At the first glance, Li Heng had already seen a thick layer of frost on the surface of many imperial army iron clothes, and the whole person was almost frozen into ice sculptures.

Li Jingzhong quickly turned and left, sending the order to go.

Inside Li Heng's bedroom, it was quiet again, only the sound of charcoal fire crackling and burning inside the large bronze cauldron.

"I hope everything goes well!"

Li Heng had his hands on his back, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and he muttered to himself.

...

"call!"

The cold wind screamed, and the rolling cold wave rushed southward. In just a few hours, it covered the entire Middle-earth China, and even the scorched land, which was full of sunshine all the year round. At this moment, the sky was full of wind and snow, and it was frozen for thousands of miles.

The rolling snow and mist filled the world, making people totally indistinguishable.

From the North Pole to the north, to the south of the interweaving, from the Bohai Sea in the east to the entire eclipse empire in the west, the endless cold wave crossed all the mountains and the sea.

The entire land world has finally ushered in an unprecedented ice age for thousands of years.

At this moment, countless people were awakened by the chill from their sleep.

"Daddy, I'm so cold."

In the depths of the night, a little boy shivered, got his head out of the quilt and hugged his father tightly.

At this moment, the little boy was cold, and even the quilt could not resist the chill.

In the face of the big cold wave, everyone seemed to be unclothed.

"It's okay, it will pass soon."

On the bed, the father wrapped his clothes and comforted the child beside him. He quickly turned over and got out of the bed, whistling, groping in the dark. After a while, with the sound of fire breaking, a fire was lit in the simple house. , Finally dispelled some of the chill in the room.

The family hugged each other around the charcoal basin, which was slowly burning, and reported to the group for warmth.

"Father, they all say that the catastrophe is coming and the world is about to be destroyed, is it true?"

In the flames, the little boy raised his head and looked at his father innocently.

"Nonsense! Who told you that?"

Hearing the little boy's words, his father straightened his face and looked much more serious.

With the advent of this unprecedented cold wave, rumors have long been spreading throughout Kyushu.

Although the land of Kyushu was far from the unstoppable cold and climate change was within tolerance before this, the news about the great cold wave is no longer a secret.

The eastern and western Turkic grasslands were frozen for thousands of miles, all the livestock froze to death, and even the towering trees of great resilience were frozen into ice sculptures after the cold wave, and the more distant northern areas, the Bohai Bay, even the turbulent sea Unparalleled in history...

All these have already spread from outside the Great Wall to the inland, even children know about it, and the recent moves of the court one after another, the invisibly revealed tension has already made everyone aware of something.

In addition, the merchants who returned from the north also brought back some special news:

The great cold wave does not stop at the north, it is from north to south, from the extreme north, and sooner or later, the cold wave will also reach Middle-earth!

All the accumulation together makes people more and more disturbed.

"Fu'er, you have to remember that the sun will go down and the stars will also go down. The night will not stay here forever. One day, when the earth rejuvenates, this cold wave will pass."

The father gently patted the child's back, if he said deeply.

The child held his chin and looked at his father as if he understood.

"Daddy, the King of Foreign Land will save us, and he will solve the big cold wave, right?"

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the little boy raised his head and looked at his father with a look of expectation.

"Yes, it will! He will definitely!"

The father was taken aback, his eyes hesitated, and he nodded quickly.

Today's Datang is far more than just a cold wave. In the northeast Youzhou area, more than one million Datang main forces gathered there to start a battle with the Northeast countries and the Youzhou rebels, which is about the life and death of Datang. If the decisive battle, the outcome of the war, everything is still unknown.

Now Datang is truly suffering from internal and external troubles.

Now everyone can do nothing, they can only pin all their hopes on Wang Chong, hoping that he can lead Datang out of this predicament as before.

Today’s Wang Chong has virtually become the spiritual belief of the entire Middle-earth China from the imperial court to the people.

"Foreign King, everything is up to you!"

By the coal fire, his father's eyes were in a trance, and his heart was full of hope.

...

The long night passed quickly, and after dawn, seeing the entire frozen world, no one in China understood why the imperial court had to hoard so much food and warm materials in advance, and even let every family dig cellars.

"Master Zhang, what's the situation?"

At this moment, in a temporary official residence in the west of the city, there are more than a dozen charcoal fires in the house. Xu Qiqin is wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, sitting on a chair, and the table in front of him is piled like a mountain. Copywriting.

In front of him is Zhang Song, the minister of household.

In addition to the two, there were many other officials gathered together.

"The situation is not very good. Although we were prepared, thousands of people in the city, mainly the elderly and children, passed away in their sleep."

"The capital is a major place, and the imperial court has carried out propaganda over and over again, checking from house to house, urging them to make all kinds of preparations, and there have been so many deaths and injuries, as for other places, I am afraid it is even more serious.

Zhang Song said with a heavy heart.

The great cold wave came and the land was frozen overnight. The imperial court immediately dispatched personnel to inspect the losses and supervise subsequent preparations.

With preparations, thousands of people were frozen to death. Zhang Song couldn’t imagine what it would be like if it weren’t for Wang Chong’s reminding and urging the court to make all-out preparations for this matter. s consequence.

Xu Qiqin didn't speak, her heart was also heavy.

She was recommended by Wang Chong as a consultant to coordinate the matter this time.

There are 15 roads in Kyushu in Datang, which means that on the first day of the great cold wave, tens of thousands of casualties have occurred in the land of Shenzhou, and then as the great cold wave deepens, the deaths and injuries will become more serious.

"How about the food?"

Xu Qiqin pondered for a moment, then continued.

"The food situation is still very plentiful. Under the current situation, saving food should last a long time."

Zhang Song said in a deep voice.

The Tang Dynasty material prosperous, and it has been peaceful for so many years, after all, it has accumulated a lot of food.

This is where Datang's advantage lies in this severe cold.

"However, judging from the current situation, the heating materials cannot last too long. All coal and kerosene are mined within half a year. It is no easy task to supply all the people to use. In addition, everywhere The state capital had also organized manpower to go up the mountains to cut wood and burn charcoal, but it was only a drop in the bucket."

"I heard that in the palace, your majesty has ordered people to tear down some uninhabited palaces and palaces to burn them out of the cold."

Zhang Song paused, then continued.

"If it is not enough, let the people demolish some houses and use the wood inside for heating. All losses will be compensated by the court afterwards. In the palace, your majesty has already ordered the imperial army to do so!"

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded in the hall, and Wang Song, wearing a gun robe, had been listening, but suddenly interjected.

"Yes!"

Zhang Song was silent for a moment, and quickly bowed.
