The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1072 Zhao Xu's Death

Ma Zhaoyuan has been in Zhao Wang's mansion for so long, and he never gave Zhao Tingmei an idea. That's because Zhao Tingmei was not promising at that time.

It's different now, Zhao Tingmei has become a prince, and she is a prince with great achievements, no one can deny it.

So this is the time for him, Ma Zhaoyuan, to come out. In fact, what he said is quite correct, and he must take advantage of this time to decide on major events.

In fact, Ma Zhaoyuan has not been idle in Prince Zhao's mansion, and has been paying attention to Zhao Tingmei's actions. This Zhao Tingmei has changed a lot recently, and it is all because of Zhao Tingmei's princess.

It's just that these are not what he cares about. What he cares about is whether he can show his strengths, and that's fine.

"I hope you can teach me, sir, what do you think I should do?"

"My lord wants to tell me first whether Zhao Xu was killed by you, and that it was someone who left you, and the others don't know who did it, right?"

What Ma Zhaoyuan said about killing Zhao Xu was the most important thing, and it was related to what Zhao Tingmei said later.

"This king can guarantee that only we know about these things, and other people don't know. Even the person who was with Zhao Xu in the end was solved by us outside the city of Bianjing. Don't worry about that, sir. .”

When Zhao Tingmei did this, he asked his confidant general Shi Hanqing to go, and Shi Hanqing told him the whole story.

And just now, he also received news that his niece and daughter-in-law were ambushed and killed. Basically no one knows about these things.

This meant that other people didn't even know that Zhao Xu was killed by his own people.

"That's good. Then we have to spread a little bit of news. Zhao Xu is dead, and the emperor happened to know the news at this time. Do you think the emperor's condition can be more serious?"

Ma Zhaoyuan has already given him what to do, that is, to let everyone hear some news that Zhao Xu is over, and he has to tell Zhao Kuangyin just right, this Zhao Kuangyin is seriously ill now, this has to be a problem for him hit.

Zhao Kuangyin has been ill for a few days and cannot go to court. Everyone is very worried about his health.

At this time, Liu Qinhu, who was working outside, came back. He was going to pick up Zhao Xu, but all he brought back was a sword.

Zhao Kuangyin's seven-star Longyuan sword did not bring anything else, so Liu Qinhu reported something to Zhao Kuangyin through the curtain.

According to the news from the palace, Zhao Kuangyin passed out directly, and some said that the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood.

At night, some people said that the emperor was saying that his son was dead, that God wanted to kill him.

And I don't know how this news reached the East Palace. The Crown Prince's East Palace is also in chaos. How could Zhao Xu die!
They also didn't believe that Zhao Xu was dead, but the emperor sent Zhao Xu's sword, so they couldn't help but not believe it.

Moreover, Liu Qinhu personally sent Zhao Xu's body to them. After their confidence, they determined that the specific body was the same as Zhao Xu's.

Now these women can't bear it, why is it not because their pillars have fallen, how can they bear it.

Wang Linger and Song Xiuting fell down on the spot, Zhang Mengyao and Fu Xuetong also lost their minds.

Gao Guiying was relatively calm, but this was because of the pain in her heart. While comforting the sisters, she was taking care of Zhao Xu's affairs.

Zhao Kuangyin also came with an imperial decree, telling them to follow suit, saying that they would hold a state funeral for Zhao Xu in a few days. Zhao Xu is the crown prince, the heir apparent of the country, and there are still some rules to follow when he dies early.

That is, Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to bury him with the monarch's sister Li, but temporarily left Zhao Xu's body in the womb of the crown prince.

The prince's concubines were crying in a daze, and there was no way to persuade them.

Zhao Xu's two sons were also crying loudly, and Zhao Xu's mother and grandmother, the queen and empress dowager, passed out immediately.

The other people also came to worship one by one, and the ministers even wore filial piety, even Zhao Tingmei was no exception. According to his seniority, he was Zhao Xu's uncle, so he didn't have to be like other ministers at all.

But from the country's point of view, Zhao Xu is the heir apparent of the country, and he should come to worship as a subject.

As soon as he came, he burst into tears, one for his lord, and another for his nephew. The one who cried was earth-shattering, and the others didn't know what to say about him.

This person really did it to the extreme. Those who didn't know thought it was his own father who died, but the people present didn't know what they thought.

"It's really a great loss for my court that the crown prince is gone. Heaven is jealous of talents, but you must take care of yourself. After all, the children are still young, and you must raise them to be talented. Crown Princess, alas..."

This guy is trying to persuade these women not to commit suicide, but they don't have such an idea yet, you just said that, isn't that nonsense?
"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern. Our sisters are not so fragile. Even if the prince is gone, we still have to live and raise these children."

Gao Guiying didn't cry, but everyone knew that this person sometimes didn't cry when he was in the most grief.

Gao Guiying was like this at this time, with a serious face, but there was no cry at all, but the grief in his heart was no less than anyone else.

"That's all right. I'm just afraid that you won't expect it. By the way, I still have some government affairs, so I left first, and let the people from the Ministry of Rites watch here. I will come after handling these political affairs."

Zhao Tingmei left after speaking.

"Princess Concubine, ladies and gentlemen, please mourn. I didn't expect His Highness to leave like this. It's really..."

Zhao Pu couldn't cry when he said that. To be honest, he was really admired by Zhao Xu. If it wasn't for Zhao Xu, he wouldn't have become a minister of the Song Dynasty, and he wouldn't have been a prime minister later.

"Master Zhao has a heart, but isn't Master Zhao busy with political affairs, why didn't he leave with King Zhao?"

Gao Guiying was also puzzled, this Zhao Wang would not say that he is quite busy, although it is a bit fake, but it is also true!

Zhao Pu is also suffering and can't tell. He is almost at home now. After the emperor fell ill, he has nothing to do. Now all political affairs belong to Zhao Tingmei.

"The old minister is also at home with a job. I'm afraid the emperor, let's not talk about it. The old minister will accompany the wives to watch the spirit to repay His Highness for the kindness of the old minister."

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he also stood in the ranks of his family members. Zhao Xu's early death probably meant that he could no longer make a difference in the political arena.

But soon he became busy. There were too many people who came to pay respects to Zhao Xu, and the entire Prince's Mansion was immersed in grief.

A piece of plain onyx, the ministers all want to come to worship, who makes him a prince!
