In 266 BC, the last year of B, it belonged to the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It was also the twenty-fifth monarch of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the last Son of Heaven for the forty-ninth year of King Zhou. This year is also the seventh generation of the monarch of Zhao State, the thirty-third year of Zhao Wang He, the son of King Zhao Wuling.

Handan, Zhao State, rainy and cloudy. Zhao Wanghe's health has deteriorated in recent days, and he feels that the limit is approaching. As a king, before leaving, the most reassuring thing is his own country. So, King Zhao He ordered people to summon the ministers to come to the palace to explain the future.

When he was young, Prince Dan came in a hurry.

Seeing his father's haggard face, Prince Dan was angry, and knelt in front of the couch with tears in his eyes. Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and other clan members also came immediately. Not long after, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and other important ministers also came in tears.

For a time, Zhao Wanghe's bedroom, inside and out, was full of many people.

These clans and old ministers are silent, but their hearts are like mirrors. Wang Shang's health began to deteriorate as early as three months ago. It is not easy for him to persist until now. Although everyone had already prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help but cry secretly when they saw it.

When Empress Zhao saw that all the important ministers had arrived, she leaned close to King Zhao's ear and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministers are here." ”

When King Zhao heard this, he opened his tired eyes, and his voice floated over weakly, "Everyone, the widow is old, and time is running out. The widow has to go first. ”

When the ministers heard this, they shouted, "The king will keep your body." We also have to compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world. ”

Compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world. This is Zhao Wanghe's long-cherished wish. However, Zhao Wang He knew that he couldn't get better, and his voice said intermittently: "Everyone, Aiqing, don't be sad. Life and death have a fate, is it not a human wish? ”

When the ministers heard this, they were silent with tears.

Zhao Wang He said again: "You are all the ministers of the widow, and you assist the widow to establish meritorious deeds. It's a pity that the widow's kindness is not enough, and he can't..."

Zhao Wanghe took a hard breath, his eyes were sad, "I haven't been able to be like my father and brother... Dead Mountain... Expedition to Beihu... Build the Great Wall... Tuo Wanli Hu Jiang... Leave a legacy that will leave a name for the ages. Speaking of this, Zhao Wanghe left two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes, "With the assistance of you, the widow can be regarded as preserving the inheritance left by his father and brother." ”

When Pingyuan Jun saw Brother Wang talking about the words father and brother, the past events of more than 20 years ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was even more embarrassed. Many people, including his father and brother, who were once proud, died because of the Dune Palace Change. At that time, although he was young, he experienced it himself, and he also saw his brother die tragically. In order not to be divided in the territory of Zhao State and not to be taken advantage of by the princes, his father chose to avoid the palace and not leave.

Master Zhao, the father of Zhao that no one in the world can understand. What a pity! Starve to death in the dunes too.

Seeing that Brother Wang was terminally ill, Pingyuan Jun was afraid that he would be too sad, so he said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

King Zhao didn't want to recall the palace coup too much, stabilized his mind, and said in a clear and bright tone: "The widow has handed over the foundation of Wu'er and the Zhao family to you. You must be loyal to my son as if you were a widow, assist him, establish meritorious deeds, complete the unfinished deeds of the widows, and revitalize my Zhao family. ”

With tears in their eyes, all the ministers bowed and said, "Oh." ”

Zhao Wang He looked into the crowd and shouted, "Brother Sheng." ”

Pingyuan Jun took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "Brother Wang has something to say to his younger brother." ”

"The widow handed over Dan'er to you." Zhao Wanghe paused a little, and then said: "Dan'er's intelligence, don't say it, you also know." Dan'er, you also grew up watching. You are a widow's brother. You are good at making friends with the best people in the world. Your talent will be able to stabilize the country and calm the world. Dan'er, if you can assist, you will assist him. If he can't assist, he will endanger my country. The world of the widow is up to you. ”

When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he was sweating profusely, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Wang, my brother will do his best to assist the new king." ”

Zhao Wang didn't say much, chose to stop in moderation, and shouted: "Dan'er." ”

Prince Dan said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child is here." ”

Zhao Wanghe advised: "If it is difficult to make a choice in the event of a major event of the family and country, please consult your uncle more." Your uncle is a widow's closest relative, and he will assist you as a widow. Do not be willful. ”

Prince Dan wept: "Oh." ”

Zhao Wanghe glanced at the crowd again and shouted, "Lin Xiangru." ”

"The minister is here." Lin looks like an elegant demeanor, but he is also old.

When Zhao Wang He saw him, it seemed that the memory of disappearing came into his mind, "You and the widow, named Junchen, are really close friends." The widow gets you like a fish in water. It is all your credit to return to Zhao and Michi's meeting, and not to be deceived by the Qin State. What a pity! The widow is not angry, and he is going to leave early. Don't be sad, take care of Dan'er for the widow. ”

"The minister will do everything in his power to assist the new king. Although the ministers are full of liver and brains, it is difficult to repay the king's kindness. Lin Xiangru recalled the past, as if it was close to yesterday, and he was also embarrassed.

"Good, good, good." Zhao Wanghe said softly: "You are an arrogant gentleman, you have always been a man of words, and the widow entrusted Dan'er to you." ”

"Whoa." Lin Xiangru bowed.

Zhao Wang He shouted: "Lian Po." ”

Lian Po said: "The end will be." ”

Zhao Wanghe's energy was a little weak, but he still endured his illness and ordered: "The merits of the widow also have your merits." You fought for the widow in the south and the north, chased the Central Plains, and raised the prestige of my Zhao family. After the widow leaves, you have to assist Dan'er, defend the country, and create brilliance again. ”

Lian Po Zhengse said: "The minister should follow the work of dogs and horses, guard the new monarch, and chase the Central Plains." ”

"Good, good, good." Zhao Wanghe smiled when he heard the old general Lian Po say this, and said: "You and Lin Xiangru are the pillars of Zhao Guo, and they are also a model of peace. How fortunate it is to have you in the country of the few. The widow's country is entrusted to you, and you can go with peace of mind. ”

Zhao Wanghe took a breath and said softly: "Ma Fujun." ”

Zhao Hao came out and saluted: "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Wang He said softly: "Ten years ago, in the battle between Yan and Yi, you led my great Zhao Jian'er to defeat the Qin army. Your prestige makes the Qin people fearful. You deserve to be my Zhao boy. After the widow is gone, you want the kings and ministers to work together to assist the new king. ”

Ma Fujun said sharply: "Oh." ”

Zhao Wanghe nodded, and said, "Pingyangjun." ”

Zhao Bao stepped forward and saluted: "The minister is here." ”

"You..." Zhao Wanghe felt his eyes tired, and said: "You have to take care of Dan'er for the widow." ”

"Whoa."

Zhao Wanghe looked at Empress Zhao who was close to him, and his tone was extremely gentle, "You also have to help the widow look at Dan'er." ”

Empress Zhao choked back tears and looked at him with affection, "Dan'er, also my son." If you don't say anything, I'll look at him too. ”

"Okay, there's your word. The widow was relieved. Zhao Wanghe raised his voice and shouted, "Dan'er, come forward." ”

"Father, what else do you have to tell the child?" Prince Dan moved his body and walked forward.

Seeing that his son was too far away from him, King Zhao shouted, "Come closer." ”

Prince Dan moved forward again and shouted, "Father." ”

Zhao Wang He said: "These people are loyal ministers who accompany the widow, and you succeed to the throne." Take their advice and be a virtuous monarch. ”

Prince Dan said: "The child remembers. ”

Zhao Wanghe knew the child's temperament, and advised: "The widow's country will be handed over to you." You have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the country, revive the prestige of the Zhao family, and raise the prestige of the country to the princes. ”

Prince Dan said: "Oh." ”

Zhao Wang He said weakly: "You are all loyal ministers, and the few people are not energetic, so they will not ask them one by one." After the widow is gone, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and you must be loyal to the new king, and exalt my prestige to the princes. ”

With tears in their eyes, the ministers bowed in unison, "Oh." ”

Zhao Wang He arranged the future generations, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The widow has a lifetime, conquers the princes, and chases the Central Plains." Fortunately, virtuous ministers and good generals guard my rivers and mountains. There are Pingyuanjun, Lin Xiangru and others, and Wu has Ma Fujun, Lian Po, Lecheng and others. How majestic is the life of a widow. ”

"The widow is worthy of the ancestors and the community, and the people of Li are worthy of the people. The widow is sorry for his father and brother. Zhao Wanghe remembered the past of his father and brother, and couldn't help but shed tears, "The difficulty of the sand dunes is a lingering knot in the hearts of widows, and it hurts forever." It is also the biggest pain in our country. ”

Seeing that his father was sad, Prince Dan hurriedly said, "Father..."

Zhao Wang He said with tears in his eyes: "The widow has tried his best all his life, but he can't reach the height of your grandfather's Wuling King's era. Fortunately, the widow has held on to the territory left by your grandfather. After the widow is gone, you can't kill each other and fight in the same room. ”

Prince Dan said: "Oh." ”

"You want to cheer up the country... A rich country and a strong army... The way to speak... Raise the prestige of the princes..."Zhao Wang He's voice became more and more blurred, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Father... Queen mother... Widows..."

Suddenly, Zhao Wanghe took a breath, closed his eyes, and there was no sound of speech or gasp.

Seeing this, the imperial physician ordered to inspect it, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's gone." ”

Zhao Wang He Yong, Wenchen military generals are all sad.

Lin Xiangru took the lead in calming down from his grief, helped the weeping Prince Dan, and bowed: "The first king, the minister, is grief-stricken. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, please ask the prince to succeed to the throne, stabilize the hearts of the monarch and ministers, and comfort the spirit of the previous king. ”

"I..." Prince Dan saw that his father left too suddenly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he couldn't say a word.

Lin Xiangru shouted: "Minister, meet the king." ”

Lian Po and the others also shouted in unison, "Minister, meet the king." Then, wave after wave of voices sounded in the main hall.

Prince Dan stopped his sadness, looked at the minister who was kneeling and said, "May you assist the widow and revitalize my Zhao family." ”

All the ministers said, "Oh." ”

The new Wang Dan bowed to Empress Zhao and said: "The widow is young, and the political understanding is not deep. It is difficult to choose between internal and external affairs. Nor can they cope with the princes. The child pleaded with the queen mother to take charge. ”

The ministers also shouted: "Please take charge of the Queen Mother." ”

Prince Dan succeeded to the throne, and Empress Zhao also became the queen mother. Empress Dowager Zhao didn't expect that the monarch and ministers would invite her to take charge, so she excused herself and said: "I am a woman, how can I decide on national affairs." ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhao was resigned, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager assisted the first king and established meritorious deeds." The merits of the Queen Mother are obvious to all. Although the queen mother is a daughter, she is not a weak man. Please don't excuse the Queen Mother. ”

The crowd shouted along.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Empress Dowager Zhao hurriedly said: "Since it is the invitation of Wang Er and the ministers." I will work tirelessly to govern for the king. I am a woman from a Taoist family, with shallow knowledge and no foresight, and I ask you to assist me and Wang Er in governing the country, guarding the country of the former king, and completing the will of the first king. ”

The ministers shouted, "Ahh ”

He Yong, the king of Zhao, succeeded to the throne by the crown prince Dan, and was the king of Zhao Xiaocheng. Zhao Wangdan, according to Zhao Wanghe's merits and demerits during his lifetime, added the nickname 'Huiwen'. Because Zhao Wangdan succeeded to the throne at a young age, he has not yet reached the age of power. Empress Dowager Zhao was in charge. Zhao was at the time of the alternation of the old and new regimes, and at this time, it was also the most sensitive and fragile time of national strength. Empress Dowager Zhao was in charge, and the country was in turmoil.

Empress Dowager Zhao in order to protect her husband's country, in order to let her son stabilize the country. Stabilize the situation in the DPRK and transition the regime. Empress Dowager Zhao is a descendant of the clan, King Zhao Huiwen and his maternal brother Pingyuan Jun. Pingyang Jun is the chief secretary. Ma Fujun is a national lieutenant and concurrently serves as the Handan Order.

Zhao raised the state funeral and informed Zhou Tianzi and the princes of the four seas.
