In September of the third year of Jianlong, in the hinterland of Qinzhou in the northwest, since Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to pacify the Qiang tribe, Tubo Shangbo and other tribes discussed and sacrificed the Qiang land to the Great Song Dynasty.

A few days later, Bingzi, the Champa State came to offer, and the Champa envoy handed over a letter to Zhao Dezhao, the king of Liang, which contained the situation of Cayenne's opening of a branch in the Champa State, and mentioned in the envelope that everything was fine with the Champa Guangwei Restaurant. Zhao Dezhao also asked the envoy to send the letter to Cayenne.

In October, Zhao Kuangyin gave hundreds of officials poor winter clothes. Bingxu, Zhao Kuangyin was fortunate to be too clear, and then fortunately to build ships, watch water battles, and always be ready to go south. Jihai, the first time to Xingyuetai.

In late October, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin convened the soldiers of the forbidden army to go out for exercises, and the address was selected in the east and west two gardens - Yujin Garden, which was sandwiched outside the south of the city, and in the Yujin Garden, there were both cavalry and archery fields for soldiers training, and there were fertile fields, which could be planted with crops, and there were also Zhancheng rice planted in it, and there were many rare and exotic beasts.

On this day, the emperor immediately ordered all the troops to practice riding and shooting, and restored Yujin Garden.

A few days later, above the court, Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Pu, the deputy privy envoy, as the privy envoy.

"The return date in October is gone, time, fate, and luck!" One north and one south, Zhao Dezhao and Wu Yongzi said at the same time.

At this moment, in the palace of the military envoy of Wuping in Hunan, Zhou Xingfeng lay down on the hospital bed, describing it as even more dry, his limbs were stiff and could not move, and he had to be served by his subordinates when he got up.

Zhou Xingfeng knew that he was sick into his limbs, and the older he was, and he was involved in the military and political affairs of the military and political affairs, in the early days, he was just occasionally feeling cold, sighing all night, busy with military and political affairs, and then his illness became deeper, and his eyes were dizzy, he knew that the time limit had come, and urgently summoned the generals and young sons to go to the sickbed to entrust the future.

Before long, the general and the eleven-year-old Zhou Baoquan hurried to the sickbed, waiting for Zhou Xing to take care of the orphan.

The bird is dying, and its song is mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. I heard movement around me,

Zhou Xingfeng opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the generals and his son, and said: "I started Longmu as a soldier, and ten people at the same time were all killed, but Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, was the only one, and he was often afraid to march Sima." If I die, the text will rebel, and Yang Shifan should beg for it. If you can't, then don't fight in the baby city, and you can return to the court. With that, he burst into tears and stopped talking.

"The Celebrity—"

The surrounding generals heard Zhou Xingfeng's last words and cried: "Please take care of your body, and take care of the hearts of the military and civilians of Hunan." ”

Zhou Baoquan knelt in front of Zhou Xingfeng, wept, and shouted: "Daddy......"

Zhou Xingfeng shook his head helplessly, turned his head, secretly wept, and didn't say a word, and before long he turned his head to his son, he touched his son's face and instructed: "Listen to the words of the ministers......"

After speaking, Zhou Xingfeng finally exhausted his last mental strength, and he was just returning to the light.

In October of the third year of Jianlong, a stormy night, the wind and clouds surged, Wuping Jiedu made Zhou Xingfeng die of illness, and the eleven-year-old Zhou Baoquan succeeded to the throne.

After that, the generals and officials of the Hunan Wuping Army followed Zhou Xingfeng's last words, temporarily kept the mourning secret, declared that Zhou Xingfeng was unwell, and announced that his youngest son Zhou Baoquan would be the deputy envoy of Wuping Jiedu, temporarily acting as the military and political governor of Wuping.

More than ten days later, Zhou Xingfeng died of illness, and the news of Zhou Baoquan's accession to the throne was transmitted back to Kaifeng through the secret agents of Wu Desi. And Zhao Dezhao also received a report from the secret agent of Changchun Hall, knowing the news of Zhou Xingfeng's death, and also lamented that the world is impermanent, and history will come true after all.

Hengzhou Assassin Mansion, the whole Hunan did not know the news of Zhou Xingfeng's death, on the bright side, the officials and the people thought that the Wuping military festival envoy was just a slight feeling, temporarily let Zhou Baoquan temporarily replace the military and political affairs of the Wuping army, and at the same time let the generals and officials assist him.

Ke is useless, that is, there is no Yongzi, a few days ago in the stargazing platform night to watch the sky, watching its celestial phenomena, he pinched his fingers, a star above suddenly dimmed, bound to fall, suddenly the demon wind is great, there is still a few points of the stars, the soft moon bends, in an instant the sky and the earth darkened, and there was heavy rain.

The heavy rain suddenly fell, Wu Yongzi rolled up his sleeves, opened his legs, slipped through the smoke, and ran back to Zhang's mansion directly.

Just now, the demon wind rose and the rain fell, and Wu Yongzi watched the sudden change in his celestial phenomena, and knew that Zhou Xingfeng had died of illness, but now there is no news in Hunan that Zhou Xingfeng died of illness, presumably to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

How can this be done, if you don't let Zhang Wenbiao know, I'm afraid that Zhang Wenbiao will miss the opportunity, and it will also make Zhao Dezhao's plan run aground, if not, I must tell him.

Wuyongzi cleaned up the trivial things around him, got up immediately, and rushed to Zhang Wenbiao's room overnight. When Zhang Wenbiao saw Ke Wufu come to his room, he immediately asked, "Mr. Ke is so late, what's the matter?" ”

Wu Yongzi immediately gave up his hand, and said urgently: "Lord, Ke has something to report, it is related to Zhou Xingfeng, does the lord think that Zhou Xingfeng is just a slight occasion, and Zhou Baoquan is only the temporary deputy envoy of the festival?" ”

Zhang Wenbiao craned his neck and listened carefully. "That's all I have received, sir, according to what you say...... That Zhou Xingfeng is ......" Zhang Wenbiao guessed, and there was a hint of surprise on his face later, "Could it be that Zhou Xingfeng has already ......"

Wu Yongzi looked indifferent, and said: "Yes, that Zhou Xingfeng is just a dead man now, a few days ago, Ke someone watched the sky at night, and found that the star belonging to Zhou Xingfeng had dimmed, presumably this person told the general to keep the secret not to mourn before he died, and at the same time to consolidate the position of Zhou Baoquan, if the lord does not believe it, he can let Wang Counselor secretly send someone to inquire about the news, and he will know the truth or falsehood." ”

Zhang Wenbiao listened to what Ke Wufu said, and secretly thought to himself, thinking like this, he suddenly realized, and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, I will let General Wang Counselor lead someone to find out the news." ”

"Then there will be King Lao to serve them."

Zhang Wenbiao immediately summoned General Wang and ordered him to go down, and General Wang immediately received the order and secretly rushed to the north to inquire about the news.

In a few days, General Wang Sen had already returned home with news. Zhang Wenbiao met him at the door and immediately asked, "How is Zhou Xingfeng?" Is it as Mr. Ke said? ”

General Wang Shen bowed and said: "Indeed, as Mr. Ke said, Zhou Xingfeng had died of illness in the mansion as early as early October, and this news was secretly told to me by a young general who knew him in the army before, and then the last general sneaked into the Zhou Mansion at night and saw a coffin parked in the mourning hall in his mansion, which must be the place where Zhou Xingfeng's coffin stopped." ”

That is, Zhou Xingfeng is now dead. Hahaha-" If Zhang Wenbiao hadn't been here again, I'm afraid he would have clapped his hands on the spot, "By the way, I know all about this matter, you go down first, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Ke." ”

"The last will be retired."

Zhang Wenbiao went to Ke Wufu's West Wing immediately after General Wang left, and informed Zhou Xingfeng of the news that he was dead. Wu Yongzi did not miscalculate, and Zhao Dezhao did not say wrong, Zhou Xingfeng is still dead.

Zhang Wenbiao heard that Zhou Baoquan was established, and said angrily: "I am humble and famous, and I am a child in the north of Aneng today?" ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, take your time in this matter."

Zhang Wenbiao asked: "Sir, are you going to send troops to attack Zhou Baoquan now?" ”

"Lord, now should spread the news and let the people know that Zhou Xingfeng is dead, and then the lord will rise up again and attack on the grounds that Zhou Baoquan is too young to govern the Wuping army."

"What the gentleman said is very true, so let's do what the gentleman says." Zhang Wen showed that everything had to refer to what Ke Wufu said, so everything was done according to what he said.

In December, Jiachen, Hengzhou assassin Shi Zhang Wen rebelled, the whole army was su, and Wuling was mourned.
