In the blink of an eye, the weather in Quanzhou is getting hotter and hotter, and some wealthy families have begun to take ice from the ice cellar to cool off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info (w/w/w.. c/o/m) Shen Ao has slept late these days, and it is too hot to get up at noon, so he asked someone to take out a watermelon from the ice cellar and eat a few slices before he felt cooler.

On the side of the palace, he went almost every day, without exception. However, there are a lot of entertainment outside, when the city besieged Liaodu, a large number of princes went south, and they should have returned to Beijing a long time ago, but unfortunately the emperor's illness was not cured for a long time, so naturally no one dared to leave, so they were all consumed in Quanzhou.

Moreover, Quanzhou is more prosperous than Bianjing, although it is hot here, the days are also free, and many people are already happy.

When the auxiliary king arrived in Quanzhou, there were really a lot of people who came to pay their respects, some of which Shen Ao remembered, and some of whom he had no impression in his mind, but no matter who he was, Shen Ao should be entertained.

In fact, in addition to worshipping these princes, there are also many people who are alive in their hearts, and now that His Majesty is about to die, the new monarch will ascend the throne, and there are rumors that he will depose the sea government, many people among the princes are already worried.

Quanzhou is not necessarily just a businessman's business, in fact, which prince of Bianjing did not invest some money to subsidize the family, after all, the imperial court is very strict with the prince, everyone is so dead Dai Lu, do not do something else to make a living, where is the money to squander? Moreover, these people are well-informed, as early as a few years ago, they heard that Quanzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are full of gold, and their hearts have long been coveted, and they all asked the house slaves to go to see it first, and if they think it is feasible, they will first withdraw some silver and go out to see the results.

When they tested the water, it was the period of great development of Suzhou and Hangzhou, Quanzhou, it can be said that there are all kinds of industries to be prospered, the most lacking is that someone invests silver, so less than half a year of effort, a thousand into it, often the profit can be tripled, quadruple, to this, these people are crazy, where in the world there is a steady profit and no loss business? However, they have personally practiced the miracles of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Quanzhou, and how can they not do such a good business, and many people even take out their family resources, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and invest in them, and those who run workshops, run boats, quarry and mine, or buy and sell land and houses on a large scale, as long as they are profitable, there are these people.

Some people are also making crazy money, and their own capital is not enough, just like relatives to borrow and invest their lives in it.

It is said that not only the princes involved in the business of Quanzhou, but also the princes of the clan such as the King of Qi and the King of Zhao are also more or less involved. This is also inevitable, the Great Song Dynasty is the most harsh on the title, the implementation of the title of the system of decreasing title, today you are the king of Qi, the status is noble, but if you give birth to ten or eight sons, in addition to the eldest son will be crowned a county king, the rest of the heirs of the court does not care, if it is another three or two generations, it will be even more worthless, there is a small county to do it depends on whether the royal family is willing to reward this face, such a large family, if you don't take advantage of the current purchase of some industries, how will the heirs live in the future?

It's called planning ahead.

Lou deposed Haizheng, digging the root of the life of the merchants, in fact, he was also ripping the rou of the princes, these princes were well-informed, and they also heard that some princes criticized the affairs of the sea politics, no matter what the prince's purpose was, whether he used it to attack the auxiliary government or seriously thought that the sea politics were misleading the country, the prince's attitude also aroused the disgust of the vast majority of princes.

Everyone's life is not easy, there are groups of slaves to be raised at home, you say dethroned and deposed, is everyone really the rou on your board?

Therefore, these princes worship Brown Shen Ao, in addition to reminiscing about the past, more is to send a prison sāo, nothing more than to say how big their stalls are, to give gifts during the New Year's holidays to ask for money, the Hao Mén clan to put on a show and ask for money, and the family does not want money, this day is really unbearable, it is not easy to do some business here in Quanzhou, seeing that the prince will be deposed after he ascends the throne, does this still teach people to live?

Do you understand the hardships of life? Did you have a lot of hardship in the past days?

These words were so emotional that even Shen Ao couldn't help sighing, and he couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't wait to ask someone to take ten or eight times to pass away when he left, but seeing that these guys often finished pouring bitter water, they either took out a jade bone worth dozens or hundreds of yuan and fanned the wind with a golden nose, or they took the best yu in their hands to play, and this idea was immediately dispelled.

Of course, Shen Ao knew that these guys meant to make themselves a good bird, and when the prince ascended the throne in the future, they would be stunned to maintain the maritime administration, but they were still watching the show, and the maritime administration was maintained, and they shouted hello, if the maritime administration failed, they would never dare to stand up against it.

"A bunch of opportunistic bastards." Shen Ao cursed a few words in his heart. But then again, at least these people are still proud of him in their hearts, which means that no matter what happens in the future, as long as their interests are guaranteed, they will not be crazy against it.

Since someone secretly supports him, why not do it, it is rare to put on a very kind face and talk with them cordially.

On the night of the ninth day of the fifth month, Shen Ao and An Ning fell asleep together, and Shen Jun'er had been taken away by Nǎi Niang, and both of them were mentally strong and had slept deeply. Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a subordinate hurriedly said, "Lord Wang...... The prince ......"

Shen Ao woke up, glanced at An Ning, who had a thin face, answered, hurriedly got up his shoes, turned back to An Ning and tucked his thin fur, glanced at her with pity, and then turned around and went out.

Tonight's moon is excellent, and the cunning moonlight accompanied by the night breeze brings a burst of clarity to the face. The one who came to shoot mén was a mén, and when he saw Shen Ao coming out, he lowered his voice and said: "Someone from the palace, Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon His Royal Highness." ”

Shen Ao chuckled in his heart, knowing that he was finally here, his brain was already buzzing, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, he was a person who passed through a strong wind and said, "Hurry, prepare the horse"

When I arrived at the palace, there were a lot of people, led by King Jin, King Qi, King Zhao, and a group of princes and officials, all of whom were crying and mourning...... Your Majesty is just afraid that it will not work......"

Shen Ao nodded, walked in quickly, couldn't distinguish the road all the way, walked in a hurry, stumbled a few times, almost knocked down, the eunuch who gave him the lantern couldn't catch up with him, for fear that Shen Ao would have an accident, and kept saying: "Your Highness, slow down...... Slow down......

Shen Ao ignored it, and quickly arrived at the dormitory, there were already a lot of mud stars splashed all over his body, Yang Jian was guarding outside this dormitory, and when he saw that it was Shen Ao coming, he said, "Hurry up, ......"

Shen Ao didn't have the time to greet Yang Jian, and hurriedly entered the dormitory, only to see that in this dormitory, there were already a few accompanying concubines, who were wiping their tears and standing in front of the couch, Zhao Ji on the couch actually had a good face, and I don't know if it was because of the return to the light, as soon as he saw Shen Ao coming, he beckoned:"

Come"

Shen Ao didn't cry at this time, he laughed when he should have laughed, and he cried when he should have cried, but when it came to the end, he actually found that he had no emotions at all, perhaps because he hadn't yet discerned what kind of emotions he should put on. Shen Ao walked over quickly, knelt in front of the couch, and said, "Your Majesty is late for ,......... minister."

"Not too late, not too late" Zhao Ji looked very peaceful, there seemed to be a satisfied smile in his eyes, and said: "I originally wanted to ask An Ning to come together, and I also wanted to meet the emperor's grandson, but in the middle of the night, I still don't want to make noise about their mother and son. ”

"Yes, yes" Shen Ao's mind was blank, and he really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Then let King Jin and them come in." ”

Yang Jian walked out quickly, and after a while, the entire dormitory was full of princes and ministers, and the king of Jin was the most sad, Tao Tao cried: "Brother Huang...... The royal brother is here......"

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Okay, it's good if you come, come, come to the couch, let me see you for the last time." ”

This emperor, who is obviously the most afraid of death, is indescribably indifferent at this moment, and there is no trace of fear in his mouth.

Zhao Zong cried and cried over next to him, Zhao Ji looked at him, held his hand, and sighed: "You are too nonsense, you have to be restrained...... I...... I can't protect you......"

"I, I" Zhao Zong couldn't go on anymore, and cried loudly.

Several princes went over in turn, and Zhao Ji spoke to them, and his tone became serious: "You can make an edict......

Everyone buried their heads heavily, and the eunuch took out a pen and paper and began to record.

Zhao Ji seemed to have already made a draft, and said slowly: "The emperor has never ruled the world, and he has never taken respecting the heavens and ancestors as the first priority. Respect for the heavens and the ancestors of the truth of the soft and far-reaching, recuperation of the common people, a total of the four seas for the benefit, the heart of the day for the heart, the state in the danger, to the rule in the future, night and night, sleep, for the long-term national plan, close to it. Now I am in my fifties, and I have reigned for 20 years, relying on the tacit estimation of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and the prince Zhao Heng, who is not the place of Liangde, is also the prince Zhao Heng, who has a valuable character, and will be able to overcome the unification. Qin ordered me to ascend the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, to obey the public opinion system, hold the service for 27 days, release the proclamation at home and abroad, and let the Xian envoy know about it. This edict was not surprising, the crown prince's accession to the throne was actually a foregone conclusion from the day of the prison of the country, and everyone said together: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhao Ji had obviously exhausted his last strength, and said lightly: "Everyone all retreated, leaving Shen Ao, the auxiliary political king, alone." ”

Mu and the others quietly retreated, and even a few concubines were helped out by the inner shi.

Shen Ao still knelt down in front of the stay, motionless, from beginning to end, he didn't come back to his senses, knowing that this day would come sooner or later, but it was really coming, but it was like five thunderbolts. I thought he could behave freely, but there was no trace of his usual free and easy energy, and he thought he would cry, but the tears always disappeared. It's just a kind of disbelief from the body to the heart, and the reluctance that goes straight to the heart, as if it is blocking Shen Ao's throat, and it becomes difficult to even speak.

Zhao Ji's eyes showed fear, and suddenly tears flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Actually, I am also afraid of death......

This sentence is not surprising, Zhao Ji pursues immortality, looking for immortals everywhere, in order to live forever, if he is not afraid of death, that is the funniest thing in the world. The most surprising thing he actually said bluntly, perhaps because there was only Shen Ao left in this dormitory, and Shen Ao had more weight in his heart's best friend, so there was no obscurity.

Shen Ao knelt and stretched out, holding Zhao Ji's hand with both hands, and was still silent when he saw his face, which had become old and old after being tortured by his illness.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said: "But people will die after all, and I am not exempt from vulgarity, the wealth and glory of the world, I can't enjoy it inexhaustibly, and this life will not be in vain" Zhao Ji's voice became weaker and weaker, and said: "What you promised me, you must remember, I am"

Zhao Ji's eyes had begun to drift a little.

Shen Ao couldn't help but stand up, leaned over, knowing that this was Zhao Ji's last sentence, and said, "Please make it clear." ”

Zhao Ji used up the last bit of strength and said, "Wan ...... Longevity...... Outline ......"

This was once the most noble old man in the world, and finally he didn't breathe, closed his eyes peacefully, and fell into a long sleep.

The dormitory was empty, Shen Ao stood up sluggishly, looking at his best friend on the couch, his face was as pale as paper, and tears finally flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty......"

There was a sound from the dormitory, and under the moonlit night, the princes and ministers looked at each other, and then understood something, and rushed in, mourning.

In the palace, many things have been prepared, everyone hurriedly changed into filial piety clothes, put on filial piety hats, knelt in front of the couch, and then, a doctor with a yào box came in, separated Shen Ao in front of the bed, leaned over to inspect, after a long time, the imperial doctor took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is dead......

The cry was louder, and the frightened birds in the garden of the palace flew out of the branches.

Zhao Zong has become a tearful person, beating his feet, several times about to rush to the royal collapse, but was pulled by a few Neishi, and the rest of the people did not reveal their true feelings, and they were all crying.

On the contrary, Shen Ao at this time was sober, he glanced at the people on the couch, slowly stood up, saluted, and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty go with peace of mind, all the aftermath will be handled by the ministers." ”

He spun around and disappeared into the darkness.!...
