Chapter 72: Imperial Brother

The locust plague erupted, and countless people fled to distant places, with disaster victims scrambling everywhere to find a way to survive.

However, in all of Great Tang, half of the territory had fallen victim to the locust plague. Where could one find a path to life?

Bodies littered the ground everywhere, and in just about half a month, Great Tang had presented a scene of decay. Thousands desperately starved to death, and hundreds of thousands of disaster victims fled everywhere, no matter what measures the Imperial Court issued for disaster relief and soothing the people; it was all like a drop of water in a cart of hay.

This locust plague, swiftly spreading everywhere, caused damage that continued to spread. It was contained here but not there.

In just about half a month, from Emperor Li Shimin down to the civil and military officials, everyone was extremely busy but achieved very little.
