After the bell rang, although everyone knew the news of the death of the emperor and crown prince, they still had to go through it according to the process.

The day after the bell stopped, Empress Zhang issued an edict to the world, and then the edict was quickly conveyed to the counties under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the whole world knew about the death of the emperor and the crown prince.

Then came the funeral of the two, the most important of which was silver!

And with the silver, everything is easy.

With the money in the household department, the process of the Ministry of Rites began quickly, and the funeral affairs of the emperor and the crown prince were carried out in an orderly manner.

Zhao Jun has not been idle these days, and he is not light from working hard together.

After everything came to an end for the time being and began to enter the stage of wake, Zhao Jun wore linen and filial piety to guard the Long Live Palace.

At this time, after deliberation, the ministers of the court and the central government finally decided to come to persuade the prime minister Zhang He.

September 16 of the 28th year of the Heavenly Sage.

At that time, Zhang He, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, led hundreds of officials to the Long Live Palace to persuade Zhao Jun, the sixth son of the emperor, to ascend to the Great Treasure.

However, the sixth son of the emperor did not allow it to refuse.

"Yan father and brother died, my heart is sad, Xiaoqing and others are worried about the country.

However, at this time, the matter of succession can not bear to be heard, so please do not allow it. ”

The first persuasion was refused, but the hundred officials were not in a hurry, or they had expected it, and if they agreed, it would be considered a problem.

According to tradition, it is necessary to persuade the other party at least three times before it is "reluctantly accepted".

Therefore, Zhang He, who was not discouraged, led hundreds of officials to come to the door again the next day to persuade them.

This time, Zhao Jun still refused.

He said this: "For the sake of the ancestors, the words are earnest, and the sorrow is increasing after the reading, how can they bear to become a great position!" Please do not allow it. ”

It's just that what you said was very good and sincere, and it touched me, but I was even more sad, and I didn't want to inherit the throne, so I rejected you again.

In this way, the two concessions are completed.

On the third day, all the officials dressed up, straightened their steps, and came to the Long Live Hall again after the prime minister's Zhang He, according to the rules.

Zhao Jun, who was in the store, heard the movement from outside and understood that they were opening it again, and instantly opened his slightly closed eyes.

Wang Huaien also leaned at the window and looked outside through the gap and said excitedly:

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Chapter Xiang and they are here again! Do you want slaves and maidservants to go out and send them away? ”

In the past two days, every time he sent these people away, he went out to spread the word, and he refused them again and again when he stood in front of the hundred officials, which really made Wang Huaien feel refreshed.

So when I saw them coming back, I was immediately excited.

However, Zhao Jun stood up from the ground this time and said lightly: "No need, let's go out to meet them!" ”

Wang Huaien was stunned for a moment, but then understood something, the excitement on his face quickly disappeared, and he nodded solemnly and stepped forward to help his prince sort out the rules and regulations.

Then he carefully opened the door of the Banzai Hall.

Sunlight shone in from outside the temple, illuminating the Banzai Hall, which had been seen by candles.

Facing the light, Zhao Jun strode out.

Under the steps outside the temple.

Zhang He came to the Long Live Hall again with a solemn expression.

Before he could lift his feet and ascend the steps, the door of the temple, which had been closed in the past, had already opened.

Today's protagonist, Zhao Jun, the king of clouds, has already strode out, and then silently stood on the top of the steps and looked down at the hundreds of officials and ministers under the steps.

Zhang He's heart moved, and he immediately understood, and immediately withdrew his raised feet, threw the skirts of the court clothes on both sides to the side and knelt on the ground!

Seeing this, the rest of the hundred officials immediately understood, and immediately knelt down.

Just listen to Zhang He and say loudly:

"As the so-called country can not be without a king for a day, my Great Song Dynasty has experienced all the wars, the first emperor and the first prince died for the country, the people of the world have suffered a lot, and they are very waiting for the virtuous new monarch to succeed to the throne to calm the world and appease the people.

Our ministers, in order to stabilize the society, and the queen in the temple to discuss, the first emperor's sons, especially the emperor's six sons are the most virtuous, but also the queen's heirs, adhering to the order of humanity, the eldest and youngest are different, should be inherited by the emperor's six sons, so hundreds of officials are raised!

Today, for the world, for the people, for the Song Dynasty, I implore the sixth son of the emperor to inherit the treasure and rule the people!

Your Highness, please! ”

After Zhang He's words, the hundred officials behind him immediately shouted in unison.

"Please inherit the great treasure and rule over all the people!"

"Please inherit the great treasure and rule over all the people!"

"Please inherit the great treasure and rule over all the people!"

……

Zhang He knelt on the ground with hundreds of officials, shouting loudly to persuade him.

Zhao Jun stood on the top of the steps, looking condescendingly at the prostrate appearance of the hundreds of officials below, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

I actually enjoyed the feeling.

Is this how the Son of Heaven feels?

Although he is only persuaded to advance, and he has not yet become the lord of a country, this feeling of being above everyone is really obsessive!

No wonder in the history of the previous life, how many heroes and heroes would fight for that position!

Men really can't refuse this supreme power over all things!

Zhang He and the others have been shouting for a long time, but they have never seen Zhao Jun on the steps make a sound, neither agreeing nor refusing, which can't help but make everyone start to beat the drum in their hearts.

However, they didn't know that the reason why they didn't answer was that Zhao Jun was immersed in the scene of them crawling under their feet.

Finally, when all the ministers felt that their throats were a little hoarse, Zhao Jun woke up from this feeling.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a faint voice sounded:

Qing and other conjuncts have been repeated and have been loyal. The heavenly position is the most important, the sincerity is difficult for a long time, the ancestors have a foundation, do not dare to be stubborn, and reluctantly obey the invitation. ”

This is, promised?

The ministers raised their heads in surprise, and then shouted in unison!

……

After the persuasion agreed, the ministers began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

When the new monarch ascended the throne, the canonization of the queens and concubines of the first emperor naturally had to be put on the agenda.

Other than that is the choice of the era name.

One year number, from ancient times to the present, has always been like this.

After discussion, under the selection of Zhang He and others, several era names were first submitted.

They are Yongxing, Chengming, Changzhi, and Yongshun.

But after Zhao Jun saw it, he felt that he didn't like it, and finally wrote down his year name Xingwu with a big stroke of the pen!

When Zhang He and the others saw that he had chosen such an era name, their eyelids jumped.

It seems that this new monarch is not a peaceful one!

Xingwu, Xingwu, the mind of the new monarch of this dynasty is probably above martial affairs.

After the name of the era is set, it is the day of enthronement.

According to Qin Tianjian's calculations, the nearest good day was five days later, which meant that the Ministry of Rites only had five days to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

Time is very short, but the vacancy of the throne is a big problem, even if you grit your teeth, you have to be ready.

So for the next five days, the whole Ministry of Rites was as busy as a war.

And just three days before the countdown to the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Chongguo, the king of Zhenxi, returned to Beijing with 100,000 Tianwu troops and 50,000 dragon guard guards and the Yunzhou army sent out by Zhao Jun!

And brought a good news, seven days ago, they happened to meet the Hun army who wanted to escape at the Shanyang Road pass at the junction of Bianjing and Guanzhong.

Under the front and rear wraps, 100,000 Huns were tragically wrapped in dumplings, a full 100,000 people, in the Tianwu army blocked the road, behind the 50,000 dragon guard Shenwei army and later arrived more than 100,000 Yunzhou army under the encirclement and suppression, and finally only 20,000 people were left to protect the Hun Dadan Yu Tila to break out.

The remaining 80,000 Hun troops were all left behind, killing 60,000 on the spot and capturing 20,000.

And all the materials looted by the Xiongnu since entering the customs were also intercepted, and the gold, silver, money and grain were brought back by the king of Zhenxi.

On the day he returned to Beijing, King Zhenxi learned the news that the emperor and the crown prince had died in battle......
