This old lady does not have much prestige on her, and she is not even incompatible with this palace that is not very majestic.

Her face, which was slightly emaciated by her sick appearance, carried only the love of a rich man.

So in her opinion, the brothers of the family, one is rich, and he must pull the bar to make up for the two brothers who are still poor.

She has now lived to the age of sixty, and her son has become the most honorable person in the world, even if she closes her eyes and leaves immediately, it is worth it.

But the only thing she couldn't let go of was her two younger sons.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager Du, these two children who followed her brother to beg for a living, after she went, would be too insecure.

So, just before she died, the old lady planned to ask for more benefits for her children.

Just like her third son said, this world belongs to the old Zhao family, and it is still insured in the hands of the brothers of the Zhao family.

So, Zhao Kuangyin walked to the dormitory with full of worries about his mother, but only saw this scene of mother and son's filial piety.

And his mother, who drove away the two brothers who were crying and wiping away their tears, and when she asked him to tell things alone, she opened her mouth to ask for the reward of his two brothers.

"My son, it seems to me that your mother is no longer good. ”

Seeing his mother lying on the edge of the bed trembling and stretching out her hand to him, the corners of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were hot.

He remembered that his family was rich and wealthy, and his mother, who should have been pampered for so many years, was frightened by him.

A sense of guilt arose, and Empress Dowager Du was still like a child, gently stroking the back of his head, and her eyes were full of reluctance to him, this resolute emperor couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing the emperor like this, Empress Dowager Du was also full of reluctance, but people were already here, if she didn't arrange her posthumous affairs properly, even if she died, she wouldn't be at ease.

Empress Dowager Du, who was on the bed, patted the back of Zhao Kuangyin, who was crying sadly, and began to say her last wishes.

"Son, your eldest brother died early, and you have always taken care of your younger brothers and sisters in our family. ”

"Now that my mother is gone, only a few of you brothers are left, and I am very worried. ”

"If I were in the face of your mother, I would definitely treat my younger brothers well, but if I leave, this affection will gradually fade as I go. ”

"When the time comes, our family will be scattered. ”

"If that's the case, if you see that your two younger brothers are good, and send them some important jobs to exercise?"

"After saving it, our old Zhao family will have a sudden disaster, and it will not break the inheritance. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin, who was crying in front of the couch, took back his tears at once, and the grief on his face just now seemed to be instantly stuck.

He looked at his mother Zhang Zhanghe chattering about brotherhood, but there was an inexplicable absurdity in his heart.

Although the young emperor still had grief on his face, his eyes had gradually cooled.

He continued to ask in a soft and comforting voice that Empress Dowager Du couldn't hear: "Then what honor does Mother think should be given to the two brothers?"

Empress Dowager Du, who was leaning on the edge of the couch, tried her best to calm down her last breath, and when the lamp ran out, she actually tried her best to say her last request.

"I think that Guangyi is smart when he is young, if there is no decent one in this huge family business, why don't you give it to him after a hundred years. ”

"He's so much younger than you, and he's been raised by you at that time. ”

After saying this, Empress Dowager Du did not see Zhao Kuangyin's cold eyes, and was still immersed in her reluctance to her youngest son and her last nostalgia for this world.

And this dormitory was inexplicably quiet, except for the rough breath of Empress Dowager Du, no one dared to make a superfluous sound.

Zhao Kuangyin was like this, under the candlelight, looking at the old man who was about to die, looking at the pleading hope in her eyes, thinking about the support of his mother's love in the most difficult time.

After all, it was a sigh.

When Empress Dowager Du insisted that she couldn't speak, she just stared at him stubbornly with her eyes, trying to hear his last promise...... I opened my mouth.

"Mother don't worry, then I always have to see if my brother is a good person, if not, give them some work experience first. ”

"If I really have such talent, I will also think about the country of our Great Song Kingdom. ”

"And after my mother leaves, I don't have to worry about the aftermath of my two younger brothers, so I will make a decree to crown the two younger brothers as kings. ”

"As long as my Zhao clan's country is still there, they are the hereditary vassal kings, and no one dares to ignore them. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Du's heart finally became steady, although she did not meet her favorite San'er request to ask for the will of an imperial brother for her son, but the honor of the prince can always make her son worry-free.

Empress Dowager Du, who was worried about her heart, finally let go of the breath that she insisted on in her chest, and the last bit of fire that belonged to her life was also extinguished when the crackling sound of the candle flame in the dormitory fell.

Zhao Kuangyin touched the gradually cooling hands that Empress Dowager Du put in his palms, and the suspicion and vigilance in his eyes finally turned into overwhelming sadness.

This man who is over 30 years old has never cried when the soldiers and horses are staggered, and he has not cried when the world has mocked him, but when his loved ones left, tears rained down.

He put a hand over his eye socket to prevent those behind him from seeing the emperor's cry and affect his majesty, and commanded in a trembling voice.

"Inform the internal officials and the ministers of the outer dynasty, the empress dowager of the new Song Dynasty...... Collapsed. ”

"Judge the chief official of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace, and the funeral of the Empress Dowager, all the matters will be handled by him. ”

"As for the group of relatives of the Zhao family waiting outside the dormitory, except for my two brothers, the rest of them are waiting...... Send someone to lead them directly to the officials who came after the Ministry of Rites, and follow the arrangement. ”

"The body of the Queen Mother has not yet been put into the coffin, but it also needs to be sincerely mourned. ”

"Since they are so idle, they ran to the palace early in the morning, so they simply don't go back before the Queen Mother is buried, just in the specified place, guard the coffin for the Queen Mother, and accompany the Queen Mother to gossip. ”

It also makes the Queen Mother feel at ease. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Dekai, who was summoned, showed an inexplicable sneer on his face.

This group of relatives who can't beat the eight poles know that they take advantage of their saints.

Now that Empress Dowager Du is gone, she will also let you taste the consequences of always causing trouble to the saints on weekdays.

The vigil in this cold night is not something that anyone can resist.

Zhang Dekai, who left in a hurry, went to arrange his own arrangements, and the two younger brothers of the emperor, who had been brought into the side hall of the dormitory by a few attendants, were hanging tears of grief, waiting for the eldest brother standing at the top to speak.

In the candle flame that had just been lit, Zhao Kuangyin, who turned around, first looked at his little brother who was not old and couldn't cry because of the loss of his mother, and then turned his head to look at the eldest brother Zhao Guangyi, who had a lot of thoughts.

Since he was a child, this younger brother has been able to please his mother.

But at this time, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to talk about unpleasant topics with them, but lightly repeated the decision made by his mother after discussing with him to the two younger brothers, and asked them to follow behind the body of the queen mother first, and go to work with foreign affairs.

When he got out of the hall, his little brother Zhao Tingmei hadn't reacted from so much information. He had just lost the sorrow of his mother, and was suddenly diluted by the joy of the throne that had fallen to his head inexplicably.

His steps are now relaxed, and he just wants to properly handle the instructions of his eldest brother and show his face in front of the emperor's elder brother to repay his eldest brother's promotion.

And Zhao Guangyi, who thought more, said goodbye to Zhao Tingmeipi without smiling, and coaxed his youngest brother to the temple in front of him that was about to stop the coffin.

Taking advantage of the people around him and no time to care about where he went, Zhao Guangyi rolled up the sleeve robes of his two hands, picked up a bush of low woods, and disappeared directly into the path he was on.

After passing through this inaccessible side road to the outside of Yanshou Palace, Zhao Guangyi arrived at Yanfu Palace.

In this palace, which is similar to the imperial garden as the emperor of the previous dynasty on weekdays, because of this major event that happened in the former palace, the people who were used were transferred, so that in this garden corridor, which was not many people, there was no superfluous figure at the moment.

Zhao Guangyi also felt that his figure was too abrupt in this time, and after he saw the small pavilion next to the Yeting Pond, he automatically hid behind the pillar of the pavilion, and waited for him to meet him in advance today.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Zhao Guangyi felt that if he didn't appear again, he would attract the attention of others, and a person walked from the other end of the garden, slowly walking towards the pavilion where he was hiding.

In response to the moonlight on the cold night, after Zhao Guangyi tried hard to see the person clearly, he let out a sigh of relief and leaned out from behind the pillar.

With a little familiarity, he complained in a low voice: "Why did Lieutenant Li come at this time, I was really anxious to die." ”

This person turned out to be Li Shenfu.

And this person who was not hurried and smiling slowly raised his face outside the pavilion, and returned with a smile: "Don't panic when Zhao Daguan does, Li has never delayed doing things." ”

"It's just that I don't know if a certain family gave you an idea, but it made your wish come true?"
