The sun in the sky is very vicious. At this time, the body-sensing temperature outside will be at least 40 degrees, without air conditioning, no electric fans, and some people even don’t even have a place to shade the sun.

"Bang..." I heard a sound.

On Qinglongfang, an older beggar fell to the ground just after getting up and taking a step.

If an old man falls to the ground in modern times, although modern morality has been reduced by some deceased over and over again, I believe that someone will still appear to help the old man up.

It’s just that in this Tang Dynasty, and in the worst Qinglongfang, the old man fell down, and no one around had any idea to help him. This is a very regrettable thing, but it is also a very real thing.

And the old man was not the first to fall to the ground like this. In the following time, at noon in Qinglongfang, there were no less than twenty people falling, almost all of them died.

The death of a large number of elderly people finally attracted Li Shimin's attention. The emperor Li Shimin was very good to the people. After learning that a large number of people died of heat stroke due to the hot weather, Li Shimin immediately took out all the hidden ice in the palace and distributed it to the people in Chang'an City for free.

But how much ice can be hidden in a palace? Before three days, the ice in the palace was released. In addition to some spare ice cubes in the palace, there were no ice cubes in the palace.

On this day, about one hundred people died of heat in Chang'an...!

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin frowned, and Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji sat in front of Li Shimin. Both of them were Li Shimin's confidants. The sudden hot weather caught everyone off guard.

"Your Majesty... Chang'an has another 97 people hot today, which is the largest number of people hot in the past three days. And according to the predictions of the Taishi Bureau, such weather will continue for a while."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji on the side also said, "All the ice cubes are gone, only some are left for use in the palace."

"There is no need in the palace...!" Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Distribute all the ice cubes. There is no need to reserve them in the palace... I can still hold on..."

"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, quickly stood up and said, "No..."

"Why can't it be...My people are suffering. If you let me stay in a place with ice, how can I stay...!" After saying that, Li Shimin showed a slightly guilty expression.

To be honest, I really want to praise Li Shimin here. No matter what history has evaluated Li Shimin's killing of his brother, he is really good to the people.

When it comes to Li Shimin being good to the people, there must be people saying that Li Shimin being good to the people is, on the one hand, because Emperor Yang of Sui gave him an example, and then he came to the conclusion that water could overturn the boat. The main reason is that he watched the mighty Great Sui die so miserably, leaving him a profound lesson.

Secondly, Li Shimin's injustice in seizing the throne was not right, and he had a great historical burden. Therefore, Li Shimin patiently acted with Wei Zheng, faced some government affairs seriously, and treated the people cautiously. To put it bluntly, he hoped to make up for his mistakes. If he did too poorly and had a bad reputation, even if he changed history, he would have made a book to smash his backbone.

I don't deny these, but no matter what the reason why Li Shimin is good to the people, if Li Shimin puts the people first because of these, then he, the emperor, is also qualified.

The most admirable time was that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many ordinary people on the northern border fled to the Turks in order to avoid war.

By the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty had become extremely stable, and a large population was urgently needed to reclaim land and develop the economy.

Among them, especially in the northern border areas.

In fact, the year Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he once asked the Turks to let them release the Han people, but he was rejected by others.

Now that the Tang Dynasty had slightly recovered its economic strength, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin decided to spend some money to redeem the Han people.

Seeing that the Turkic people were jealous of money, they immediately agreed.

In May of that year, according to statistics from relevant departments of the Tang Dynasty, a total of 80,000 men and women were redeemed. No matter what Li Shimin's purpose was, he did so as to be a benevolent monarch.

Looking at the guilty Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling on the side hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the temperature is getting higher and higher. Although the people are important, your body, the bodies of all the empresses and the princes, are all things that need to be taken care of."

"Yes..." Changsun Wuji also quickly agreed: "Many empresses are in poor health, so your Majesty must leave some ice to deal with the emergencies."

After thinking about it, Li Shimin finally nodded and said, "Okay, just leave some, but these ices are left for the harem, and I will never use half of them...!"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji bowed in awe together.

....................................

"Today, Chang'an was so hot that nearly one hundred people...!" A bearded man sat on a beard bed, and there was a large piece of ice beside the bearded man's bearded bed.

After the bearded man finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "No one in Dunhuafang has been so hot that he has died of heat...!"

"Li You is really good. He distributed all the ice cubes. He is a good prince. People from Dunhuafang are very lucky to follow him...!"

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"It's weird..." The bearded man said disapprovingly: "You are just suspicious. Li You is not very strange. I think it's right to do this."

"Haha..." After a chuckle, the man bearded man said, "It's strange, where did Li You get so many ice cubes... You know, there are not even many ice cubes in the palace, but I have been investigating the amount of ice cubes in Dunhuafang.

You should know that the amount of ice cubes used in Dunhuafang is the same as before, and it has not decreased at all."

"Huh... This is really a very strange place... Not to mention, sometimes, your suspicion is really about the idea. It is rare to store ice cubes. How could Li You have so many?

Could it be that Li You knows magic spells, and he can make ice cubes...?"

The bearded man's words meant that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested... At this time, the man next to the bearded man showed a faint smile and said, "If Li You could make ice, that would be interesting. Now people are constantly being heated to death every day, but Li You no longer takes out the means of making ice.

If this matter is exposed, Li You will definitely be the target of public criticism.”

"That's what...but how could anyone in this world have the means to make ice... It's impossible to think about it..." The bearded man shook his head: "It must be the ice cubes that Li You bought from other places at a high price. Li You is not short of money."

"Is that true..." A faint question?
