Chapter 0169: Death

"Kou Aiqing, it's dawn......"

Zhao Heng lay on the couch and stared at the east in a daze.

Kou Zhun stared to the east, and it was dark.

His brows furrowed as he asked the eunuch beside him, "What time is it?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly hunched his waist and said in a low voice: "The third watch is ......."

Kou Zhun immediately looked at Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng was stunned and said, "Three watches? Then why did I see the dawn...... I also saw my father, who was waving to me...... I also saw the second emperor brother...... I ......"

Zhao Heng stared at the pitch-black sky in the east and muttered to himself.

Liu E covered her face and couldn't cry.

The eunuchs and palace ladies beside her had already knelt on the ground, covering their faces and crying quietly.

Kou Zhun grabbed Zhao Heng's hand and reminded in a wailing voice, "Official, support again, support again...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be there soon. ”

Although Kou Zhun had long been disheartened by Zhao Heng, now that Zhao Heng was about to die, his heart was also full of sadness.

Even though Zhao Heng is mediocre, he is really good to him.

The two of them have been together for decades, and they have some feelings.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Even if they are enemies, after fighting for a long time, they will feel a little sympathetic.

What's more, they have been together for decades.

Kou Zhun was disheartened with Zhao Heng, it was only the government and politics, and it did not affect the personal affairs of their monarchs and ministers.

Zhao Heng didn't know if it was a return to the light, or something wrong, he actually had a little strength in his hand, he grabbed Kou Zhun's hand, and suddenly tightened.

"Kou Zhun ...... I...... I don't want to die......"

Zhao Heng's face was full of horror.

He thought he was ready to face death, but when he finished explaining everything and quietly waited for death, fear began to appear in his heart.

Kou Zhun didn't know how to comfort the current Zhao Heng, he just took Zhao Heng's hand and sighed vigorously.

It's good that he doesn't sigh, but as soon as he sighs, Zhao Heng panicked even more, "I ...... I really don't want to die...... Find a way to save my ......"

"Help! I want to live! ”

Zhao Heng shouted in horror.

Liu E glanced at Kou Zhun and choked up, "Let the imperial doctor show the official family again." ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Liu E meant.

Liu E wanted the imperial doctor to come over and say some reassuring words to Zhao Heng, so that Zhao Heng could die peacefully.

Otherwise, let Zhao Hengda continue to make a lot of noise, who knows if he will shout something unruly in the future.

Kou Zhun beckoned to the imperial doctor who was kneeling beside him, and the imperial doctor gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Quick, show the official family......"

The imperial doctor opened his mouth to speak, but Kou Zhun glared at him.

The imperial doctor understood, hurriedly closed his mouth, and helped Zhao Heng diagnose his pulse.

Zhao Heng stared at the imperial doctor in a daze, and asked after three or four breaths.

"Can I still be saved?"

"Can I still be saved?"

“……”

The imperial doctor just touched Zhao Heng's pulse, but didn't say a word.

It's not that he won't say comforting words, it's that he doesn't dare to say them.

Facing Zhao Heng, he didn't dare to say a word of falsehood.

As long as you tell a lie, it is very likely that you will be labeled as a bully.

Even if the situation forced him to do so now, he couldn't.

"I still have ......"

Zhao Heng shouted halfway through his words, and was suddenly stunned.

He stared at the front in a daze, and said in a low voice, "Empress Zhang Huai...... Empress Zhangmu ...... Aren't you all dead? Why are you still in front of me? ”

Kou Zhun, Liu E and the others followed Zhao Heng's gaze and saw nothing.

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and whispered to Liu E: "Hallucination......"

Liu E wiped her tears and nodded heavily.

"I can't last long......"

"Send two more...... Let them quickly take the crown prince to the imperial city. ”

"As it should ......"

“……”

Kou Zhun and Liu E whispered small words.

Although they are political enemies, they are not fighting each other in this scene.

It's not that Zhao Heng's entrustment has worked, but in this current scene, they don't have time to fight, and they don't have the heart to fight.

Whether it is Liu E or Kou Zhun, the purpose of the struggle is to take power and stabilize the dynasty.

Zhao Heng's life and death, as well as the smooth transfer of the throne, have an absolute decision on whether the dynasty can be stabilized.

The more this happens, the more you can't afford to make any mistakes.

Liu E immediately sent two eunuchs in a whisper to leave the imperial city.

Zhao Heng seemed to be crazy, shouting and scratching at the air.

He shouted the late two queens for a while, and the late Emperor Taizong for a while, as well as the late second prince.

He seemed to feel that these people had appeared before him and had come to bless him.

With their blessings, it seemed like he could continue to live.

"Father, don't go...... Don't go...... Second Emperor Brother, why are you leaving......"

Zhao Heng suddenly grabbed at the air frantically.

Seeing this situation, Kou Zhun knew that Zhao Heng's life was not long in coming, and he couldn't care about urging in a whisper anymore, so he immediately straightened his waist and shouted loudly: "What about the prince?" Why hasn't the prince arrived yet? I asked you to pick up people, but you haven't picked them up yet? Do you want to die one by one? ”

There was anger in his words.

But in this situation, no one dares to question his words.

Even the officials who are not afraid of power and are upright on weekdays keep their mouths shut one by one.

"The prince has arrived!"

"The prince has arrived!"

“……”

Under the imperial city, Guo Huai shouted loudly while carrying Zhao Zhen to the imperial city.

When Kou Zhun heard this, he grabbed Zhao Heng, who was shouting, and shouted, "Official! Official! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! ”

Zhao Heng didn't care about him, he still shouted into the void, "Father! Father! Father, don't go......"

"Father!"

"Father!"

The previous one was shouted by Zhao Heng.

The latter voice was shouted by Zhao Zhen, who had just landed at the head of the city.

However.

After all, their father and son could not say another word.

After Zhao Heng finished shouting the words 'father', he was stunned on the dragon couch and didn't move again.

The imperial doctor stepped aside from Zhao Henglong's couch and slowly knelt down.

Kou Zhun, Liu E, and even the civil and military personnel at the head of the city, their hearts trembled.

Zhao Zhen jumped off Guo Huai's back, stumbled to Zhao Heng's dragon couch, grabbed Zhao Heng's hand, and shouted in horror, "Father? Father? What's wrong with you, Father? Father, what would you say to the child? ”

Liu E covered her face with her hands and couldn't cry.

The eunuchs and palace ladies who knelt on the edge of Zhao Henglong's couch cried together.

Kou Zhun did not comfort Zhao Zhen, but closed his eyes, sighed, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and instructed Kou Ji: "Push the old man to the edge of the city wall." ”

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun to the edge of the city wall.

Kou Zhun looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army under the city, sighed, and said lamentingly: "The official family ...... Died ......"

"Whoa......

"Whoa......

“……”

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army fell to their knees one after another.

The civil and military officials at the head of the city also knelt on the ground.

After Kou Zhun and everyone knelt down, he unfolded the edict placed in Kou's bus and read it out: "The edict is ......."

After reading a large number of gorgeous algae words, Kou Zhun paused, and continued to read in a heavy voice: "The biography is in the crown prince Zhao Zhen...... Chin this. ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army, all kowtowed.

Kou Zhun read out the edict, confirming the legitimacy of Zhao Zhen's succession.

Hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army kowtowed to express their submission.

Kou Zhun put away the edict and shouted to hundreds of civil and military officials and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army: "When the official family is in danger, Xu Laofu has the right to regent." order, the gods and guards are on both sides, leaving to defend the imperial city; Order, Longwei soldiers and horses, clean up the battlefield, cooperate with the Inspection Division, Kaifeng Mansion Yamen, and Zhang Bang to calm the people. ”

"喏~"

"Order, the Tianxiong Army will escort the rebels out of Beijing and temporarily detain them in the barracks outside the city."

"喏~"

"Order, Ministry of Rites, Three Divisions. Prepare for the funeral of the official family. ”

"喏~"

“……”

Kou Zhun gave one order after another.

Whoever clicks on it will consciously speak out and answer.

There are all the reasons for cleaning up the aftermath of Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion, Zhao Heng's funeral, and Zhao Zhen's ascension to the throne.

After he finished explaining, Kou Zhun said again: "All ministries and yamen, each should perform its own duties, if anyone takes the opportunity to make trouble, there will be no forgiveness." ”

"喏~"

The civil and military officials agreed in unison.

Kou Zhun continued: "The yamen of all ministries will report the news of the death of the official family to the world. ”

The officials replied in unison.

Kou Zhun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's do things......

Immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city began to stand up and move.

The civil and military officials also moved.

Kou Zhun no longer paid attention to them, but returned to Zhao Heng's dragon couch.

Zhao Zhen had already cried into a tearful person, holding Zhao Heng's body, no matter how he didn't let go, it was useless to persuade anyone.

Liu E pulled him twice, and was thrown away by Zhao Zhen with all his might.

Kou Zhun wanted to go up to dissuade him, but was stopped by Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sighed and said to Kou Zhuan: "Grandfather, let's come with me." ”

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Kou Ji stepped forward and put his hand on Zhao Zhen's shoulder.

Zhao Zhen was about to shake it off, but he heard Kou Ji say: "The official family doesn't like you to cry......

Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's voice, gave up the idea of shaking off the hand on his shoulder, turned around, and said with teary eyes: "Kou Ji! My father is gone......"

Kou Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Once a person dies, no one can escape." If the official family is alive, they will not like to see you cry. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, wiped his tears and looked at Kou Ji, and asked, "Why?" ”

Kou Ji sighed: "Because I don't have a father, I like to watch my son cry." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he cried even more fiercely.

Kou Ji took the opportunity to take Zhao Zhen's hand holding Zhao Heng, pulled Zhao Zhen aside, and secretly waved his hand at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun understood, and hurriedly ordered those eunuchs to carry Zhao Heng away.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Kou Ji.

Kou Ji pulled Zhao Zhen and walked to the edge of the imperial city, pointed to the sea of corpses and blood that was being cleaned up below, and said, "Don't cry first, don't be in a hurry to grieve, you first see what is down there?" ”

Zhao Zhen wiped his tears, poked his head out curiously, and glanced down.

When he saw the corpses under the city, he was startled and retreated.

Kou Ji dragged him stiffly, let him close to the edge of the city, and said to him: "You just don't have a father, but what about these people in the city?" Their children also have no fathers, their wives have no husbands, and their parents have no sons.

Your father is gone, and you can still be buried in a beautiful way; But they are gone, and they don't even dare to have a beautiful funeral.

Any idea how they died? ”

Zhao Zhen burst into tears and looked at Kou Ji in a daze.

Kou Ji sighed, "They all died to keep you and your father on the throne. They obviously had a common purpose, but they killed each other, which eventually led to the death of tens of thousands of people. ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "You're about to sit in that position......

Kou Ji pointed to the corpses under the city and said in a deep voice: "I stepped on the lives of tens of thousands of them. So ......"

Kou Ji asked, "What right do you have to cry?" Why are you crying? Their wives and children are not crying, why are you crying? ”

Zhao Zhen's tears stopped flowing, and he looked at Kou Ji in a daze.

Kou Ji's words, accompanied by the corpses under the city, caused him a lot of shock.

Kou Ji continued: "You have carried the lives of tens of thousands of people to sit in that position, and the last thing you should do is cry. You should find a way to sit in that position. You don't just have to sit in that position, you have to do your best.

In this way, we can be worthy of the lives of the tens of thousands of soldiers under the city.

When you want to cry, think about these soldiers, and then think about their wives and children.

None of them cried, so who right do you have to cry? ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with red eyes and asked, "Then what should I do to be worthy of them?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had gone too far.

So he pretended to be deep and said: "At the very least, we must also achieve the level of Han Wudi and Tang Taizong......"

Kou Ji only said this to coax him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen nodded seriously, gritted his teeth and said, "I will......"

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Zhen's little face full of seriousness, he hesitated: "It's going to be difficult......"

Zhao Zhen raised his head, looked at Kou Ji seriously, and said, "You'll help me, right?" ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Zhao Zhen staring at him seriously, he nodded stiffly and said dryly: "I will naturally help you." ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji agreed, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

However, the smile didn't last long on his face before it collapsed.

"Father?!"

"Father!"

Zhao Zhen's tears flowed again, chased Zhao Heng's dragon couch, and ran away.

Kou Ji opened his mouth to stop him.

But he's already run away.

Kou Ji stood at the head of the city and sighed, "Bai persuaded ......"

"There was no persuasion in vain, our family heard it clearly, and we also remembered it in our hearts."

Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared behind Kou Ji, and said faintly.

Kou Ji turned around and saw Chen Lin, "You don't go to the official family to cry?" ”

Chen Lin said indifferently: "Don't be in a hurry......"

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin up and down, and saw that Chen Lin was not sad at all, and said with a slight shock: "The official family has died, you don't seem to be very sad?" ”

Chen Lin was stunned and sighed: "Before the official family died, our family also thought that our family would be very sad. But after the official family really died, our family didn't feel sad at all, and even rejoiced for the official family in my heart. ”
