The land of Shenqi, the capital of Zhongyang, the mansion of Pingqi Junfu.

"Your Majesty, Handan is urgent!"

Zhao Jia, who was studying, couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he saw the border city suddenly break in.

He knew that the character of the border city was relatively indifferent, and if it wasn't for something big happening, he would definitely not be so panicked.

"Border City, what's going on?"

Bian Cheng said: "According to the report of the spies, after the king fainted and woke up, he ordered the general to command 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wei, wanting to take Fanyang!" ”

"Less than a month after the general set out for Wei, the king has already died!"

When Zhao Jia heard this, his face showed a melancholy look, and he muttered softly: "Is it still here after all?" ”

Zhao Jia's reaction was calm, somewhat beyond the expectations of the border city.

In fact, as early as after King Zhao fainted and woke up, when Lian Po commanded 50,000 troops to attack Fanyang of Wei State, Zhao Jia had already received the news.

He vaguely remembered that in history, when Lian Po attacked Fanyang, King Zhao died.

Zhao Jia just didn't expect that King Zhao would die so soon.

"Stand down first!"

Zhao Jia waved his hand and motioned for the border city to retreat, and then sat alone in the house, looking a little dazed.

Although he had long predicted that King Zhao would die.

But after really learning the news, I still have mixed feelings in my heart, and I also feel great pressure for the future.

When King Zhao was alive, no matter what happened, Zhao was always as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if Zhao Jia seized the land of Shenqi, he could still get King Zhao's understanding, just because King Zhao knew the general situation better and knew the general trend.

Now, King Zhao died suddenly.

Zhao Yan's succession to the throne has become a fact, even if Zhao Qian is no longer there, Zhao Jia is still a little worried, Zhao Yan can't tolerate himself.

If that time comes, how should Zhao Jia behave?

Waiting to be killed, watching Zhao Yan take Zhao Guo, who was in Zhongxing, began to go downhill from then on, and Zhao Jia couldn't do it.

What's more, Zhao Jia now not only represents his own interests, but also has the interest groups of the entire Shenqi Land behind him.

If Zhao Jia falls, even if Zhao Yan is hindered by the relationship between father and son, he will not really take his life, and many of those subordinates who follow Zhao Jia will be implicated.

If he didn't stand by and rebelled, Zhao Jia would not only lose his reputation, but also cause civil strife in Zhao and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

No matter what happens, it is not the ending that Zhao Jia wants to see.

Previously, Zhao Jia still had some fantasies, that is, with his great military exploits, when King Zhao died, would he pass on the throne to him from generation to generation.

It turned out that Zhao Jia thought too much.

From King Zhao's critical illness, to sending Lian Po to fight Wei, to never sending an envoy to call him back to Handan, Zhao Jia already knew King Zhao's attitude.

"Now, you can only take one step at a time."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Jia finally sighed deeply.

He had some illusions, hoping that Zhao Yan could tolerate himself and let him continue to occupy the land of Shenqi.

In that case, not only would Zhao not have civil strife, but he would also be able to do his best to defend Zhao against Qin.

He is a little worried now, if Zhao Yan orders him to go back and guard filial piety for King Zhao, how to deal with it.

If you go back, you'll be a caged bird.

Zhao Yan also has a high probability that he will take this opportunity to put himself under house arrest and then recapture the land of Shenqi.

If you don't go back, as the eldest grandson, you don't go back to keep filial piety for your deceased grandfather, which is a little unreasonable.

The person Zhao Jia relies on now is reputation first, and then the land of Shenqi.

If the reputation is ruined, even if you can continue to divide the land of Shenqi, you will lose the hearts of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Si asks to see you!"

Just when Zhao Jia was restless, he heard the voice of the border city.

"Let him in."

Handan, the main hall of the royal palace.

Zhao Yan sat on the throne and looked at the Manchu Dynasty ministers standing neatly below, and while he was happy, he also felt deeply tired.

Zhao Dan died, and Zhao Yan thought that after he ascended the throne, he would be able to rule the world and become the most comfortable person.

However, Zhao Yan did not enjoy the benefits brought by the rights, so he was a little anxious by all kinds of messy things.

Before the death of the first king, the royal tomb was not built and the name was not decided, and it could not be buried.

Now the weather is not cold, if the corpse is not specially treated, it will soon stink, although these things are handled by a special person, Zhao Yan must also keep it in mind.

Otherwise, the smell of corpses will really come out of the palace, and he, the crown prince, will lose face.

Yes, even if Zhao Yan is now in charge of the government, he is still the crown prince, not the king of Zhao.

After Zhao Yan buried Zhao Dan, he must keep filial piety until at least next year before he can truly inherit the throne.

Wang Ling, Zhao Yan is not worried.

Basically, when every King Zhao succeeded to the throne, he began to build a mausoleum for himself, and Zhao Dan was naturally no exception.

The most troublesome thing now is to give the former king a name.

For the monarchs of all dynasties, the nickname is an extremely important thing, and sometimes the nickname of one or two words is basically equivalent to the conclusion of the coffin of the corresponding monarch.

If a king is given a bad name when he is about to die, the king may even die without a blind eye.

For example, the prince of Chu killed his father, and his father was the spirit.

Unexpectedly, his father had not yet opened his eyes, although he could not speak, but he opened his eyes anxiously as if he had spoken, and the prince changed his words to success, and King Chu Cheng was blind.

is not diligent to become famous; Death and willingness; When God dies, he can speak spiritually; chaos does not damage the spirit; Good sacrifice to ghosts and gods; Extremely aware of ghosts and gods; disobeying the Spirit; The shrewdness of Lourdes is said to be spiritual.

The name of the spirit is a plain name, and although it is not a lower name, it is not a good name.

Those who hold such nicknames are either mediocre kings or dead monarchs, which contains the criticism and sympathy of later generations for the monarch.

In history, Zhao Yan's nickname was 'mourning Xiang', 'mourning' was a flat name, and 'Xiang' was a shang, which had a slight beautifying meaning.

His son Zhao Qian's name is 'Youmiao', 'You' is Ping's (medium-lower, with the meaning of mercy), and 'Miao' is inferior, with the meaning of faint and absurd.

In fact, since evil is a criticism of the dead, it was a relatively offensive thing in ancient times.

Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was stipulated that no evil slander should be established, only good and peaceful.

From the moment Zhao Wangdan died, his nickname has been put on the agenda, but the nickname is a major national event, and it can almost be concluded that Zhao Wangdan has made a coffin on his achievements and demerits in this life.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and domestic celebrities were invited to the court to discuss Zhao Wangdan's nickname.

For King Zhao, there are many praisers, but there are also detractors.

Due to the arrival of Zhao Jia, he did not let Meng Wei capture more than 30 cities in Taiyuan County of Zhao State, although Zhao State had the defeat of Changping, Zhao Dan was also regarded as a great military achievement when he was in power, so that all countries did not dare to underestimate Zhao State.

Therefore, many people suggested that Zhao Wangdan should be given advice.

It's a pity that no matter how great Zhao Wangdan has made great achievements, he will be responsible for the defeat of the Battle of Changping after all.

The Battle of Changping almost changed the fate of the entire Zhao State, and it was a pain in the hearts of all Zhao people.

That failure also made many scholars think that Zhao Wang Dan should be reassured.

The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled endlessly, and even Zhao Yan had difficulty interjecting, which made him anxious.

If the name can't be set, Zhao Wangdan can't be buried, and Zhao Yan can't really start to manage the government, so he is irritable.

Seeing that the two sides were still arguing, Zhao Yan remembered that before his father died, he was still paving the way for his smooth succession, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore.

He stood up abruptly and shouted: "When the first king was alive, although there was a defeat in Changping, the strength of Zhao was not as strong as that of Qin, even if there was such a defeat, it was reasonable. ”

"In addition, the first king broke the Yan State in his lifetime, swept away the Huns, and repeatedly conquered the Qin State, and made great achievements."

"The first king's name is set as the upper one, and then those who dare to say it will be killed!"

The people who were arguing suddenly saw Zhao Yan having such a big temper, and they were suddenly silent, those who wanted to make a statement for Zhao Wangdan, even if they didn't want to, they didn't dare to say anything.

In this way, at the strong request of Zhao Yan, Zhao Wang Dan was called 'Xiaocheng', and was known as Zhao Xiaocheng in history.

Those who are on the top are gods, saints, sages, scholars, martial arts, and successes.

The first three are rarely used.

In addition, 'wen' was mostly used for the Ming monarch who made the country rich and strong during the peaceful dynasty, and the Wuda was used for the founding monarch, or those monarchs who expanded the territory and made great achievements during their reign.

As for 'Cheng', it is already considered to be the best among the above.

Cheng: Anmin Lizheng is said to be successful; The criminal and civil overcame the success; Zuo Xiangke finally succeeded; Righteousness is overcome; Lile Minggu said; Holding on to the profit and keeping it is said to be full; The beauty of things is said; Accessible and strong; It is said that it is said by virtue and virtue; The people and the gods are blessed; The Tao and the sage are said to be complete; Night-time vigilance is completed; Qu went straight to the ceremony; Renhua pure is said to be; Don't forget to say for a long time; Debei Lile is said to be successful; Virtue is seen in the line of success; Jiudao Hualong said; Ned is pure; Kun Ning Hua said that it was completed.

In addition, although 'filial piety' is a little modest, it is more of a description of the king's character, but it is also a superior word.

The determination of the nickname of King Zhao Xiaocheng also shows that from now on, the history books will affirm Zhao Wangdan's positively.

After the name was decided, it was immediately announced to the world, and then Zhao Wangdan was buried.

"Summoning Gongzi Jia, order him to return to Handan and guard filial piety for the first king!"

Just when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Zhang Luo was burying Zhao Wangdan, the edict suddenly issued by the prince Yan made everyone feel that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
