In a blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
The two thieves who sneaked into the emperor's harem died silently, like a drop of water falling into the sea without causing any waves.
Because, after Su Chen killed the black chicken and the red phoenix that night, the entire emperor's palace returned to what it was like when it was frozen.
Including the tunnel that was dug, it has returned to its original state. Moreover, this time, the cold air persists around the entire Emperor's Palace. Anyone who dares to think of digging a tunnel will be soaked by the cold air, so that they will be wet.
In the past six months, several corpses have appeared inexplicably near the Emperor's Palace.
These corpses are all frozen stiff. If you observe carefully, you can clearly see that before death, these corpses had a look of horror on their faces. .??.
Those two eyes were wide open. It was obvious that before he died, he was still thinking about why he died.
Why?
After that, it was another six months.
Near the Emperor's Palace, corpses that had been frozen to death appeared one after another.
However, the number is much smaller. Apparently, during this period, the news about people freezing to death in the Emperor's Palace has spread. Many charlatans and magicians know that they are dead and do not dare to break into this place casually anymore.
With fewer people coming, naturally fewer people will die.
Gradually.
The Emperor's Palace has become a forbidden place among many people.
In the end, everything about the forbidden land was only passed down through people's mouths.
…
The divine dynasty, the emperor’s palace.
Shen Tianzong has entered middle age, he has a beard on his face, a frown on his forehead, and his speech is no longer as powerful as before.
He looked at the memorial on the table with a meaningful smile on his face: "The Emperor , worrying about these trivial things all day long, is this what I used to pursue crazily?"
In these years, he has been busy dealing with government affairs. However, after the incident in the Emperor's Palace, for some reason, the fortune of the Datong Dynasty has dropped a lot. There have been disasters in various places year after year, and even a demon star has come to the world. He has been waiting for him every day.
Busy suppressing chaos everywhere.
Over the years, he has been so busy and in such a hurry that many things have deviated from his original ideas. Many things he once wanted to do were not accomplished in the end.
Shen Tianzong picked up a bamboo book and opened it.
"In the seventeenth year of the Tianyuan calendar, the North Sea dried up, thousands of miles of rivers and fields turned into dry land, and tens of millions of lives were exterminated. The reason is unknown. The Qinchao sent by the imperial court to investigate died in mysterious circumstances, including the death of a master. In the end, nothing happened, so it was settled."
What is recorded here is what happened in the seventeenth year of the Tianyuan calendar.
And this year was the second year after the emperor's death.
During this year, dozens of ministers in the imperial court wrote to the emperor at the same time, requesting the emperor to establish a new queen.
However, Shentianzong never had the slightest idea of establishing a new queen, because it was not that he didn't love her, it was just that he had loved her, and in the end, he let doubt and suspicion swallow up the love in his heart.
So much so that his last love seemed a little twisted.
However, with Su Meng's death, he finally came to his senses, but the story between them could never go back to what it was like when they first met.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, after he had been busy and calmed down, he would think in his heart about what they had experienced and encountered in those years, why they came together in the end, and why he had doubts and estrangement in the end.
Barrier?
It's a pity that no matter how hard he thinks about these things, he can't find the answer.
Time has erased many things, but it has also left many things with nicks and scars.
Shen Tianzong suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to flip through the bamboo book in his hand. His eyes saw the second page: "In the nineteenth year of the Tianyuan calendar, Dongfang Wanli's granary was destroyed overnight, and the food rations for hundreds of millions of creatures were destroyed overnight.
Burned to ashes, this fire burned the food of all the people of the Datong Dynasty for thousands of years."
This was the fourth year after the death of the emperor and the emperor, and the dynasty encountered another natural disaster. The emperor sent the most talented prime minister in the court to deal with the matter.
The prime minister worked diligently in the Dongfang Wanli Granary for ten years to investigate. In the end, there was no clue at all, and he committed suicide in his own mansion.
Although all the evidence shows that the prime minister committed suicide, no matter how you look at the whole thing together, it feels weird. Everyone thinks that the prime minister's death was quite strange.
Because even if nothing was discovered during the ten years of the prime minister's investigation, the emperor would only hold him accountable and would not harm his life. Therefore, there was no need for the prime minister to commit suicide.
At this time, the Datong Dynasty was about to face a situation where no one was available. No matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he would never take action against the prime minister.
However, the prime minister chose to commit suicide. In the eyes of many people, this matter is full of weirdness. What everyone thinks is why the prime minister spent ten years investigating the burning case of Dongfang Wanli Granary.
With no results, commit suicide in your own mansion?
When this matter was reported back to the capital of the gods, many ministers were shocked, including the Shentian Sect, who also looked in disbelief.
The first thing he thought of It could be a homicide!
Therefore, in the three years after the Prime Minister's death, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate the matter, but in the end there were no clues. The entire incident, including the destruction of Dongfang Wanli Granary, became an unjust case.
Is Shentianzong angry?
Very annoyed.
This was the first time that he felt that although he was the emperor of the Datong Dynasty, many things had begun to escape his control.
However, this was not what really made him despair.
The thing that will make him completely feel powerless is yet to come.
"In the twenty-first year of the Tianyuan calendar, a heavy rain suddenly fell in the northwest. This is such a rare thing. You must know that the northwest has always been dry and full of deserts. But in that year, a flood broke out in the northwest and destroyed the Western Barbarians.
The million-mile-long Great Wall caused monsters outside the pass to rush into the giant city in the northwest, wreaking havoc on living beings and eating millions of the people of the Divine Dynasty alive."
After receiving the news, the Shentian Sect was extremely angry. They immediately dispatched their own soldiers to encircle and suppress these monsters outside the customs. However, the final result also shocked many people.
These soldiers who went to encircle and suppress the Western Barbarian monsters encountered floods from the sky in the northwest before they reached the front line, and they were all drowned.
right!
That’s right, he was drowned!
When Shentian Sect received the news, they were dumbfounded on the spot.
How ridiculous this is!
The soldiers he sent were all warriors with strong martial arts. Each of them had the strength to kill the saint sons of major forces. And in the army, with the cooperation of the military formation, their strength was so strong.
It's beyond imagination, but who would have thought that when they went to the northwest, they were drowned by a sudden flood in the northwest before they even started to encircle and suppress the Western Barbarian monsters?
