.In the blink of an eye, it is early summer. The weather in Quanzhou is getting hotter and hotter. Some wealthy families have started to take ice from the ice cellar and come out of the summer. Chen Ao has been sleeping late these days, and it is so hot that it is so hot that it is asked to take out watermelon from the ice cellar and eat a few slices before it feels cooler.

He went to the palace almost every day, and there were never exceptions. However, there were many social engagements outside. When the Jurchens surrounded Liaodu, a large number of princes and princes went south and should have returned to Beijing long ago. Unfortunately, the emperor's illness could not be cured for a long time, so naturally no one dared to leave, so they were all consuming in Quanzhou.

Besides, Quanzhou is more prosperous than Bianjing. Although it is hot here, life is free, and many people are no longer happy.

When the Auxiliary King arrived in Quanzhou, there were quite a few people who came to worship the verses. Some of them were remembered by Chen Ao, and some had no impression in his mind. However, no matter who he was, Chen Ao would treat him as soon as possible.

In fact, in addition to worshiping verses, many of these princes and princes are also active. Now that His Majesty is about to die, the new king ascends the throne, there are rumors that the maritime government will be deposed. Many of the princes and princes are already worried.

Quanzhou may not be just a business of merchants. In fact, the princes and princes in Bianjing did not invest some money to subsidize their household income. After all, the court has strict supervision of the princes and princes. Everyone just died of Dai Lu and did not do any other business. Where can they spend money? Besides, these people are well-informed. They heard that Quanzhou was full of gold in Suzhou a few years ago, and they were already coveting themselves. They asked their servants to go and see first. If they think it is feasible, they would first withdraw some money and go out to see the results.

When they tried the waters, it was the period of Suzhou and Hangzhou and Quanzhou's great development. All industries were waiting to be developed. What they lacked the most was that people invested in money. So in less than half a year, a thousand guan would often make three or four times more profits. At this point, these people were crazy. Where can I buy and make sure to make a profit in the world? But they have personally practiced the miracle of Suzhou and Hangzhou and Quanzhou. How can such a good business be done? Many people even took out their wealth, invested tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in it. Those who run workshops, boats, quarries, or sell land and houses in a large scale. As long as they make money, these people are present.

Some people are also making money crazy, and their own capital is not enough, just like relatives who go to raise money and invest their lives.

It is said that not only Dukes and Marquis participated in Quanzhou's business, but also Princes of the King of Qi and Zhao, who were also more or less involved. This is inevitable. The Song Dynasty was the most harsh in titles and implemented a system of decreasing titles. Today, you are the King of Qi and have a noble status. But if you have ten or eight sons, except for the eldest son who will be the prince in the future, the court will not care about the rest of the descendants. If you have a third or two generations, it will be even more worthless. If you have a small county prince, it depends on whether the royal family is willing to appreciate this face. If you don't take advantage of the fact that you are now, how can the descendants live in the future?

This is called planning ahead.

Lou deposed the maritime government and dug out the lifeblood of merchants. In fact, he was also cutting out the flesh of the princes. These princes were well-informed and heard that some princes criticized the maritime government. No matter what the prince intended, was he using it to attack the auxiliary government or seriously believed that maritime government was in trouble. The prince's attitude also aroused the disgust of the most princes.

Life is not easy for everyone, and there are groups of slaves to raise at home. If you say you are deposed, you will depose. Do you really think that everyone is the meat on your chopping board?

Therefore, these princes worshipping the old man, not only to reminisce about the past, but also to be imprisoned. They simply say that their own stalls are so big, they ask for money when they exchange gifts during festivals, wealthy families set up for money, and unfilial sons at home also ask for money. They really can't live this life. They finally do some business in Quanzhou. Seeing that the prince will be deposed after ascending the throne, is this still teaching people to live?

Do you understand the hardships of life? Are there so many hardships in life?

These words were so touching that even Chen Ao couldn't help but sigh, wishing to ask someone to take a ten-stop or eight-stop before leaving, but seeing these guys often ended up making a bitter taste. Either take out a jade bone worth tens or hundreds of cents of coins and slap the wind with a nose, or just take the best jade and play with it in your hand, and the idea was immediately dispelled.

Chen Ao certainly knew that these guys meant to be the one who wanted to be a leader and to be a young man to maintain the maritime affairs after the prince ascended the throne in the future. They were still watching the show, and the maritime affairs were maintained. They shouted "Okay". If the maritime affairs failed, they would never dare to stand up and oppose it.

"A group of opportunistic bastards." Chen Ao cursed a few words in his heart. But then again, at least these people still look up to him. This means that no matter what happens in the future, as long as their interests are guaranteed, they will not oppose it crazy.

Since someone secretly supports him, why not do it? It is rare to show off a very kind face and have a cordial talk with them.

On the night of the ninth day of the fifth month, Chen Ao and An Ning fell asleep together. Chen Jun'er had been taken away by the wet nurse. Both of them were exhausted and had already fallen deep. Suddenly, a servant rushed to the point of view, and a man said hurriedly: "Prince...Prince..."

Chen Ao woke up, looked at An Ning, who had lost face, responded, quickly got up, turned around and tucked her thin fur, looked at her with pity before turning back.

The moon tonight is very good. The cunning moonlight blew on the face with the night breeze, which brought a clear and graceful look on the face. The one who came to patrol the door was a doorman. When Chen Ao came out, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is coming from the palace. Your Majesty is eager to call Your Highness."

Chen Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that what was coming was finally coming, his mind was already buzzing, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, he was a person who had been through the storm and waves, and said, "Hurry, prepare for the horse."

When he arrived at the palace, many people came, including King Jin, King Qi, and King Zhao. Below were a group of princes and officials, all of whom were mourning. When he saw Chen Ao coming, Ru saw the backbone surrounding him and said in a lingering manner: "Your Highness quickly enter the palace... Your Majesty is afraid that he will not do it..."

Chen Ao nodded and walked in quickly. He couldn't tell the road all the way. He walked quickly. He staggered a few times and almost knocked him down. The eunuch who made him a lantern could not catch up with him. He was afraid that Chen Ao would have any accidents and kept saying: "Your Highness, slow down... slow down...

Chen Ao ignored it and quickly arrived at the bedroom. A lot of mud stars were splashed all over. Yang Jian was guarding outside the bedroom. Seeing that Chen Ao was coming, he said, "Hurry..."

Chen Ao had no time to greet Yang Jian, so he hurriedly entered the bedroom. He saw that several concubines who were accompanying him had already come to the bedroom. He was wiping tears and standing in front of the bed. Zhao Ji on the couch actually had a good face. I don’t know if it was because of his rebirth. As soon as he saw Chen Ao coming, he waved: “

Come"

Chen Ao didn't cry at this time, and laughed as much as he should, and cried as he should. When things came to an end, he found that he had no emotions at all. Perhaps he had not yet distinguished what kind of emotions he should have. Chen Ao quickly stepped over, knelt in front of the couch, and said, "Your Majesty is late,..."

"Not too late or too late" Zhao Ji seemed very peaceful, with a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "I originally wanted to ask An Ning to come together, and I also wanted to meet the emperor's grandson, but in the middle of the night, I should not disturb the mother and son. I will go wherever I come. I will work so many people, and I am uneasy."

"Yes, yes" Chen Ao's mind was blank, and he really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Then let King Jin and the others come in."

Yang Jian quickly walked out. After a while, the entire bedroom was full of princes and ministers. The King of Jin was the most sad. Taotao cried: "Brother...the emperor is here..."

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Okay, it's fine if you come. Come to the bed and let me see you for the last time."

This emperor, who was obviously most afraid of death, was indifferent at this moment, and there was no trace of fear in his mouth.

Zhao Zong cried and walked over to him. Zhao Ji looked at him, held his hand, and sighed: "You are so stupid, you want to restrain yourself... I... I can't protect you..."

"I" Zhao Zong couldn't continue talking anymore and cried loudly.

Several princes went over in turn, and Zhao Ji spoke to them, and his tone became serious: "You can issue a will..."

Everyone buried their heads heavily, and a eunuch had already taken out paper and pen and started recording.

Zhao Ji seemed to have already made up his mind and said slowly: "The emperor has always ruled the world, and respected the heaven and law ancestors as the first priority. The heaven and law ancestors are really soft and far away, and can rest and recuperate the people, and benefit the world. The heart of the world is the heart, protecting the country in danger, and governing the country in chaos. They work hard day and night, and sleeping, and are almost in a long-term country. Now I am fifty years old and have been in power for twenty years. It is really due to the silent estimate of the Tiandi Sect. The Crown Prince Zhao Heng, who is of great character and is deeply impressed by me, will definitely be able to inherit the great throne. He is the emperor's order to succeed me and ascend to the throne, and then follow the throne, and follow the throne for twenty days, and release the ward and announce it to both China and foreign countries. "This will was not unexpected by others. The crown prince has actually become a foregone conclusion since the day of the reincarnation of the country. Everyone said together: "I obey the order."

Zhao Ji had obviously exhausted his last strength and said lightly: "Everyone retreats, leaving the regent King Chen Ao alone."

Someone Mou quietly retreated, and even a few concubines were helped out by the inner shi.

Chen Ao still knelt down in front of the bed, motionless. From beginning to end, he did not come to his senses. He knew that this day would be coming sooner or later, but it was really coming, but it was like five thunder. He thought he could show his freedom and freedom, but there was no trace of the usual free and easy spirit. He thought he would cry loudly, but the tears never came out. It was just a kind of incredible from the body to the heart, and the reluctance that went straight into his heart, as if it had blocked Chen Ao's throat and even spoke hard.

Zhao Ji's eyes showed fear, and suddenly tears flashed in his eyes, saying, "Actually, I'm afraid of death too..."

This sentence is not surprising. Zhao Ji pursues immortality and searches for immortality everywhere for immortality. If he says he is not afraid of death, that is the funniest thing in the world. He actually said the most surprising thing bluntly, perhaps because only Chen Ao is left in this bedroom, and Chen Ao has more weight in his close friend, so he has no obscureness.

Chen Ao knelt and stretched out his body, holding Zhao Ji's hand with both hands, and seeing this face that had become vicissitudes and old after being tortured by the condition, he was still silent.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said, "But people will die in the end, and I cannot avoid the vulgarity of the world. I cannot enjoy the wealth and glory of the world, and this life will be in vain." Zhao Ji's voice became weaker and weaker, and he said, "You must remember what you promised me, I."

Zhao Ji's eyes began to dissipate a little.

Chen Ao couldn't help but stand up and leaned over, knowing that this was Zhao Ji's last words, and said, "Please give it a clear statement."

Zhao Ji used all his last little strength and said, "Wan...Shou...Gang..."

This was once the most noble old man in the world. Finally, he lost his breath, closed his eyes peacefully, and fell into a long sleep.

There was no one in the bedroom. Chen Ao stood up dumbly and looked at his close friend on the couch. His face was as pale as paper, and tears finally flashed in his eyes.

"His Majesty……"

A sound came from the bedroom. Under the moonlit night, the princes and ministers looked at each other, then understood something, rushed in, and mourned.

In the palace, many things were ready. Everyone quickly changed into mourning clothes, put on mourning hats, and knelt in front of the couch. Then, an imperial physician with a medicine box came in, separated Chen Ao in front of the couch, and leaned over to inspect. After a long time, the imperial physician took a deep breath and said with a stern face: "Your Majesty is in funeral..."

The cries were even louder, and the birds in the garden flew out of the branches.

Zhao Zong was already in tears, and he beat his feet and was about to rush to the collapse several times. He was pulled by a few people. The rest were not sincere and false, and they were crying.

On the contrary, Chen Ao woke up at this time. He glanced at the person on the couch, stood up slowly, saluted with attention, and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, go with peace of mind, all the funerals will be handled by me."
