Chapter 213.2
However, the Great Luo Dynasty maintained order amidst swirling heavy snow and a world of ice and snow.
This was mainly because Great Luo had sufficient warming supplies to provide to the common people, so the death toll was very low, and society remained harmonious and stable.
Every time he thought of this, the Great Luo Emperor felt extremely proud.
Fortunately, he had the help of the Taoist Sect, which allowed him to make the necessary preparations in advance to deal with the natural disaster.
When he led more than 20 million common people through this ice disaster, he would undoubtedly stand out among all under heaven and become the most dazzling person among emperors.
His fame as a wise ruler will be an undeniable fact!
Hahahaha!!!
No wait!
I must not get ahead of myself now!
I can laugh after weve gotten through the ice disaster!
However, he couldnt suppress the show-off spirit within him and couldnt help but ask, By the way, how is the situation with the Great Feng Dynasty? How are they coping with this ice disaster?
Reporting to Your Majesty!
The Minister of Revenue said loudly, The Great Feng Dynasty is short of heating supplies, so just a few days into the ice disaster, a large number of common people have died! The Great Feng court has done nothing, and in order to survive, the common people had to rob and kill each other! Now, the major cities of the Great Feng Dynasty are in complete chaos and beyond control!
The Great Luo Emperor laughed heartily: I knew it would be so! This year, the Great Feng Dynasty suffered two great calamities, greatly weakened its national power, and lacked supplies! Moreover, the Great Feng Emperor is a selfish person who only cares for himself and not for the lives of the common people!
So, the Great Feng Dynasty is unlikely to survive this disaster! After the natural disaster is over, the Great Feng Dynasty will have nothing in substance but the name of a dynasty!
Your Majesty speaks the truth; your humble servant thinks the same!
The Minister of Revenue loudly flattered: Not every emperor is like Your Majesty, who loves his people like his own children and empathizes with the common people!
The Great Luo Emperor laughed proudly again: Thats right! Hahaha!
After laughing, the Great Luo Emperor asked, How about the Great D Dynasty?
Reporting to Your Majesty, the Great D Dynasty is at its peak, with strong national power! The Great D Emperor is also compassionate towards the common people and has taken some positive measures! However, even a clever woman cannot cook without rice, so there is also domestic chaos due to the lack of supplies. Many people have frozen to death!
The Great Luo Emperor commented, That Great D Emperor is talented and is a strategic person. He is a worthy opponent of mine! Its a pity that he is short-sighted, more than capable of defending what he has but lacking in ambition. After this disaster, he will surely fall behind and no longer be a match for me!
Your Majestys words are most accurate! He is nowhere near Your Majesty; hes not even fit to carry your shoes! the civil and military officials flattered once again.
The Great Luo Emperor laughed heartily again: Well said!
Then, the Great Luo Emperor inquired about the situation of the neighboring kingdoms.
Terrified, the Prime Minister fell to his knees and said in panic, How would your humble servant dare deceive Your Majesty? Great Xia remains unharmed because the extremely cold air did not reach their land at all! Therefore, there was no wind and no snow, and naturally, the country was safe. The people were unharmed with no losses. Please, Your Majesty, check the truth!
The Great Luo Emperor was astonished, What did you say? Did you just say that Great Xia was not affected by the ice disaster at all?
Yes, Your Majesty! The Prime Minister said, kowtowing.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The Great Luo Emperor said dismissively, This ice disaster affects the whole world. No country can escape it. They cannot possibly remain unscathed!
But Your Majesty, it is the truth! If you do not believe it, you may ask them; they know as well! The Prime Minister implicated the other civil and military officials.
The officials felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
But under the Emperors sharp gaze, they had no choice but to come forward reluctantly.
Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister says is true!
Indeed, the ice disaster has not affected Great Xia!
If you do not believe us, you may send someone to investigate!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I do not believe your words! You must all be conspiring to deceive me; all of you get out!
The Great Luo Emperor angrily dismissed all the civil and military officials.
However, he sent his own trusted aides to investigate the matter.
He even dispatched other departments to conduct separate investigations.
When all the investigation results were presented to him, pointing to the same conclusion, the Great Luo Emperor was completely dumbfounded.
How could the Great Xia Dynasty be unaffected by the ice disaster?
Impossible! This is completely illogical!
Theres absolutely no reason for this!!!
