There are also plenty of funerary items.

The death of an emperor and the amount of money spent by the imperial court are absolutely astronomical.

Zhao Zhi had confessed several times before his death, after his death, all the funerals were simple, and he wrote down the list by himself, and the funeral items and the scale of the funeral were all explained in detail.

As a son of man, he naturally has to be filial, Zhao Xun out of filial piety, it is impossible to completely follow what Zhao Zhi said, everything is simple, it is too simple, so in terms of the scale of the funeral explained by Zhao Zhi in front of him, it has increased a little, and in general, it is much simpler than the funerals of the previous emperors.

Pingzong was not in good health in his later years, and after establishing Zhao Zhi as the crown prince, he soon let his prince supervise the country, and he no longer cared about national affairs, so from Zhao Zhi as the prince to the emperor, his reign was nearly forty years, which is almost a lifetime of a generation.

Zhao Zhi's life, can be said to be a life of struggle, through his efforts, the Jin Dynasty, which was on the verge of extinction, was rejuvenated, and in the past two decades, a series of brilliant military victories have been achieved in succession, but as far as the people's livelihood is concerned, the people are very bitter, very bitter, in order to expand the army, in order to maintain the military strength of Longyou and Anbei, and in order to ensure that the core of the Guannai is sufficient, Zhao Zhi has taken a very cruel exploitation and suppression of the states and counties outside the Guannai, especially in the Jiangnan region, was forcibly increased by Zhao Zhi again and again, and brutal exploitation made this once the most prosperous place in the world withered to the people's livelihood now, and the people were miserable.

Before Zhao Zhi, the Jiangnan region generally did not set up the festival envoy, and even if the festival envoy was set up, it was only temporary, and it would be canceled soon, but in Zhao Zhi's dynasty, the Jiangnan region successively set up four festival envoy towns, for what? It is to exploit and suppress the resistance of the people.

Many low-level people hate Zhao Zhi to the core, so in Zhao Zhi's dynasty, the people's riots are also one after another, although the scale is not too large, and it will soon be suppressed, but such things have never been stopped.

Now, Zhao Zhi has died, and his death has shaken the whole world.

Zhao Xun followed Zhao Zhi's explanation in front of him, and the funeral was simple, from the beginning to the end, a total of less than ten days.

On the day of Zhao Zhi's funeral, hundreds of thousands of Fengjing people, from the city to the outside of the city, stretched for more than ten miles, crying the sky, full of tears, came to see off their emperor for the last time.

Zhao Zhi's death, after all, still affected the great grief in the hearts of all the people in the world, in the nearly thirty years he was emperor, the people may have lived a very bitter life, but without Zhao Zhi, as early as a few decades ago, the Jin Dynasty may have been torn apart, the country perished, at that time, the suffering of the people, will be much more cruel than now, Zhao Zhi is hated by many people, but in the end, it is because of him, the Jin Dynasty has continued, in the hundreds of years after Wuzong, the country is weak, Has been bullied by foreigners and local feudal towns, it was Zhao Zhi through a series of military means, repelled the invasion of foreigners, and suppressed the arrogance of various feudal towns, in his hands, there was a series of brilliant military victories, which greatly boosted the dignity and confidence of the Han people, it was he who revitalized the majesty of the country.

The honor and disgrace of the country, that is, the honor and disgrace of the people, if a country has no dignity, how good can the people living in this country be?

Therefore, the vast majority of the people in the world still recognize and appreciate Zhao Zhi, the emperor.

Especially the people in Guannei, when they heard the news of Zhao Zhi's death, almost every family wore linen and filial piety, and they cried in the direction of Fengjing.

Zhao Zhi's dynasty, the people in other places may live in the water and fire, but the people in the Guannai are living very well, Zhao Zhi has reigned for nearly 30 years, and the Guannai has never increased taxes once, but often reduces taxes, this kind of good, is not Zhao Zhi's personal feelings, just out of political and overall choice, but anyway, the people in the Guannai have lived very well in Zhao Zhi's dynasty for decades.
