When Tong Guan knelt down with a crying voice, "Your Highness, the official family, the official family has returned to heaven." Zhao Ke's mind was blank. He looked at Taiwei Tong's tears, and said in a lost voice: "Master Taiwei should not deceive the orphan, father, where is the father?"

Tong Guan took the prince into the imperial study room and saw Zhao You leaning against the dragon couch, as if he had not woken up, but the blood on his mouth and nose had turned black. Zhao Ke was shocked and shouted in a low voice: "Father, Father." Without any reaction, he walked up and tried his breath with his hands, and then he shrank back like an electric shock. He held Tong Guan's hand and cried: "Taiwei, my heart is so irritating, I don't know what to do!" But he seemed to have a big stone removed from his heart.

Tong Guan choked and said, "Your Highness is mourning. The official family has just returned to heaven after taking the pills sent by Shen Baoguan. However, I think the most important thing at the moment is that the country cannot be without a master. Your Highness should ascend the throne quickly. I have asked Master Zhao to enter the palace to discuss the matter of summoning ministers. When Master Zhao comes, I will ask Duke Zhu to come and discuss the matter of the Da Nei Guard." He looked sobbing, but his words were quite organized.

Zhao Ke also thought of the succession of the throne in a trance. Hearing Tong Guan asks Zhao to be a husband but not Cai Jing. Li Bangyan and other important officials came to discuss the succession of the throne, he became alert again. Most of the court officials around the Emperor had a good relationship with the third prince. If they learned that the Emperor had passed away and forced Zhao Qi to be the king, then their own fate... Thinking of this, Zhao Ke couldn't help but take a breath, hold Tong Guan's hand, and cry in a low voice: "Today's affairs are all due to the help of the Taiwei Tong, and I will never dare to forget them."

Tong Guan said with his head: "The prince is famous all over the world. The old minister's extra arrangements are just in case." While saying that, he held Zhao Ke in addition to the imperial study. His Royal Highness was born in the palace and was good at the hands of a woman. After staying next to the body for a long time, he might have a heartache.

The eunuch is the emperor's slave. Zhao You died suddenly for only one hour. Tong Guan had already replaced the person who was loyal to the prince who was about to inherit the throne. He led Zhao You to the signing room where the eunuch was usually in charge of the imperial study room. He held the imperial seal that Zhao You used in daily life in both hands, knelt on the ground and presented it to Zhao Ke, and choked and said, "The old emperor is afraid that some sluts will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, so he packed up the treasure. Now he is asking for the blessing of heaven. Your Majesty will be in the forbidden area. This treasure should be handed over to Your Majesty."

Zhao Ke looked at the imperial seal, which was the jade seal "Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty" used by Emperor Taizu, used to draft the edict to the military officials in the world. He took the jade seal with both hands. According to legend, the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty was carved with Heshi jade. Later, a corner was broken by the Empress Dowager of Han, and used gold to inlay jade to make up for the shortcomings. It was passed down from generation to generation and was used as a symbol of the imperial tradition. However, due to the wars during the Five Dynasties, after Taizu gained the world, he searched for treasures everywhere, but there was no trace of it. Therefore, he carved this "Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty" which can be used as a tool for peace and trust in the world. There are five or six other imperial seals in the palace, which are not as important as this one.

Zhao Ke held the imperial seal and rubbed it for a while. The jade was gentle and delicate, and it was indeed extraordinary. After a long time, he sighed and handed it back to Tong Guan and said, "The loyalty of the Taiwei, I have written down the loyalty of the Taiwei. Please ask the Taiwei to keep this imperial seal properly for Gu." He paused, and saw that Zhao Zhifu had not arrived yet, and he couldn't help but look anxious. Tong Guan observed his words and expressions, knew his plan, so he carefully served the future Emperor of Song on the side.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Zhifu, who was puzzled, came to the imperial study room. After learning that the emperor had passed away, he was much more calm than Zhao Ke. He immediately suggested that Zhu Bona, the governor of Wuchang Army, first to discuss the ascension of the throne. Zhu Bona is the leader of the imperial guards in the imperial front class. As long as he surrendered to the crown prince, the major event would be more than half successful. This man was the polite person, and was the most loyal to the late emperor and the most important court system. He was usually transcended outside the party disputes in the court. Zhao Ke once privately asked Zhu Ying, the daughter of Zhu Bona, as the crown prince's concubine, but because the late emperor wanted to pass the throne to the third prince, the matter was delayed, but the Zhu family did not refuse.

A moment later, Zhu Bonaut, who was wearing military uniforms, hurried over. Hearing Zhao Zhifu's explanation of the death of the previous emperor, the important thing in the country is to arrange for the prince to inherit the throne and prevent villains from taking the opportunity to disturb the court. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The old minister is valued by the officials, and he is entrusted with the minister of the imperial guards. He should do his best to serve the king." Speaking of this, Zhao Zhifu and Tong Guan were both in his heart, but he paused and said, "Loyalty to the country, maintain the court system, and defend the palace ban, is my duty. His Highness inherited the throne, and the old minister should obey the instructions of Your Majesty and the Prime Minister." After saying that, he ignored his military uniforms and gave the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to Prince Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke's face was flushed with excitement, his hands trembled slightly, and he kept saying, "Zhu Jiedu, please get up, please get up quickly, please get up." After saying that, he stepped forward, helped the old general up, and choked up, "I have today, all the ministers of the state like Zhu Jiedu." As he spoke, he didn't notice that Zhao Zhifu and Tong Guan's faces were different.

Zhao Zhifu and Tong Guan secretly scolded Zhu Bonaut for pretending to be confused about small matters, but they were smarter than anyone else in this major matter. They hurriedly followed him and performed the three-kneel kneeling and nine-kneel bowing ceremony. Although they did not officially ascend the throne, Zhao Ke also called "Your Majesty" in advance. After the four monarchs and ministers discussed, they decided that Zhu Bonaut would mobilize the imperial squad to confine all the palaces in the Great Inner Palace. All concubines, princesses, princesses, and princesses, were not allowed to leave the palace without permission, and foreign ministers were not allowed to enter the palace at will. Zhu Bonaut also sent a guard troops to follow the eunuch who sent the order to "invited" the third prince Zhao Qi into the palace. Tong Guan accompanied Zhao Ke to assist His Majesty in handling major matters. Deputy Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu immediately left the palace to summon all the ministers. Before tomorrow morning, he would just wait for the important officials to come, and then the new emperor ascends the throne.

After Zhu Bonaut and Zhao Zhifu went out to do their jobs separately, only Zhao Ke and Tong Guan were left in the room, which became deserted again. Tong Guan was worried that His Majesty would worry, so he deliberately said something irrelevant to him. He mobilized a group of strong confidant eunuchs, each holding a big stick, and guarding the palace gate. After a while, the imperial squad sent by Zhu Bonauta came to escort the eunuchs. Tong Guan just dismissed the eunuchs. Regardless of his noble status, he encouraged these palace guards on behalf of the officials and encouraged them to be loyal to the country. Zhao Ke saw all these, nodded in his heart, and thought to himself that among the old ministers valued by his father, Cai Gongxiang and others were all abusing power and favoring personal gains, but Tong Taiwei was still a loyal minister of the country.

After the Rouyi Palace was blocked by the front class of the palace, the palace people were panicked. The sixteenth princess Zhao Huan comforted the palace maid Qingnu: "Maybe some thieves have appeared in the palace. These people are often making big fuss."

An unknown premonition arose in her heart, but she didn't want to think about it. She sat alone in front of the jade dressing table and secretly prayed for the safety of her father. However, three hours later, the news of the death of the first emperor came. Zhao Huan held back tears for a long time and finally collapsed. With tears in her eyes, she followed the palace maids to Daqing Hall. Many court officials who knew each other and didn't know each other were already standing in the hall. Even the other princes and princesses of the third brother Zhao Qi were also in the hall. Zhao Huan looked up and looked at him.

The third brother, seeing his face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly, as if something extremely terrifying happened, his heart felt sad again. At the forefront of the court officials, including Gong Xiang, Shumi Wang, Shumi Li and other important officials in the court were helpless. First, he did not expect that the former emperor would die suddenly, and second, he did not expect that Zhao Ke had such thunderous means that the third prince had no chance to resist. At this moment, those who had to be strong had become traitors.

Zhao Huan was immersed in sorrow, as if he was carrying a puppet, and he gave a great gift to his elder brother Zhao Ke to visit the emperor with his elder brother Zhao Ke. He was then taken back to the Rouyi Hall by the palace maid. Before he could sleep, another eunuch came. The eunuch looked at her with a look that Zhao Huan had never seen before, took out an imperial edict, and announced the eunuch with a sharp voice. The new elder brother moved into the Baiyu Palace. The former concubines and princess of his father were not suitable for living in the Baiyu Palace, so they were asked to move into the Hanxiang Palace immediately.

Hanxiang Palace, which is the cold palace where the concubines fell out of favor. Zhao Huan felt anger rise in his chest. His father's body was not cold, and his elder brother was too urgent. As the eunuchs kept urging her, she swallowed her anger and packed her clothes with softness. After arriving at Hanxiang Palace, she had to pack up her feelings to comfort her mother. There were very few things she had with her, so she took a painting from the bottom of the drawer and put it in a small bag.

Only Qingnu followed Zhao Huan to the desolate and cold courtyard. Qingnu was still cleaning the fallen leaves spider webs in the yard. Zhao Huan walked into the house, put down his baggage, stroked his hair, took out the painting, and opened it. Many grievances surged in his heart. Pearls and tears accidentally wet the collar of the Confucian scholar in the green robe who was bent in the bow and arrow. She hurriedly wiped him with her sleeves and carefully stored the scroll again. "Father...Father!" She choked in a low voice, feeling extremely painful, as if millions of silver needles were pricked in her heart. Just now, in the Daqing Hall, in the eunuch who was sent to the order, Zhao Huan had been holding back his sadness. At this moment, tears fell down like broken pearls again.

In Liaodong, thousands of miles away, the world is frozen and snowy in a dense forest, Zhao Xingde was instructing the Han army to shoot arrows. He held a bow and arrow and said in a deep voice: "You should not practice arrows with brute force alone. You should attach yourself to this arrow with your mind. After singing the strings, it seems that you will fly out with the arrow. The distance is as far and near as you wish. This is what you want."

Dozens of Chengying soldiers and Han army surrounded by them, and someone laughed and said, "General Zhao, on the battlefield, he attached his mind to the arrow, but he could not prevent the enemy." Everyone laughed loudly, and Zhao Xingde didn't care about it. He took out an arrow and smiled faintly: "The so-called reading has exceeded ten thousand books, and writing is like a god. Usually, he attaches his mind to this arrow. On the battlefield, he naturally attaches his arrow as he wishes, and he doesn't have to worry about it." He casually put the long arrow on the bow arrow, twisted his waist and turned around, and without stopping, he released an arrow. The arrow flew out a hundred steps away with the strong wind. He heard a whine sound. Everyone looked at it and actually stuck it on a snow fox. The fox was covered with snow-white fur and fell to the ground and kicked his legs.

The white fox is in the snow. It is difficult for people with poor eyesight to find it. He turned his back to his prey and hit it with an arrow. He really deserves the word "Shen Shen". Everyone applauded. Zhao Xingde was also quite surprised. He originally planned to shoot a tree trunk at will, but after turning around, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different in the snow ahead. He didn't even see the target clearly, so he let the arrow go out according to his will. Unexpectedly, the arrow shot as he pleased. "I'm afraid I won't be so lucky next time." He smiled slightly, "Skin the skin first, everyone can drink broth today."
