Chapter 1979

Qi, the whole country mourns.

Cheng Zheng's death is no longer a secret, from the palace spread the capital, soon the whole country knew the news.

Although Cheng Zheng was not an emperor, he was a general to defend the country when he was the first emperor. In recent years, if it were not for Cheng Zheng, the state of Qi might have been invaded by the northern Ming kingdom. Although he had a secret relationship with his niece, he was not a member of the Cheng family. He had no blood relationship with the empress. He could still be accepted in the open-minded Qi state 。

His death almost sent the whole country into panic.

Zhao Yong is dead, even Cheng Zheng is dead. What fate will the state of Qi face next?

The palace is already a piece of plain.

Zhao Rao, who spent a day and night in the Yangxin hall, finally came out to meet the cabinet ministers and the ministers of the imperial clan to discuss the future of Cheng Zheng.

Everyone can see Zhao Rao's sadness, but she appears unexpectedly calm, as if from the moment of Cheng Zheng's death, Zhao Rao is no longer the former Zhao Rao.

"The emperor wants to bury Lord Cheng in Royal Mausoleum? " The cabinet minister was stunned to hear Zhao Rao's words.

They all know that Cheng Zheng has a close relationship with the empress. However, it is very strange to bury Cheng Zheng in the imperial mausoleum.

"It was first buried in the imperial mausoleum, and then the coffin of Cheng Zheng was moved in." Zhao Rao said in a low voice, her voice is not high, but some people dare not object to the majesty and determination.

"Emperor, I'm afraid that's not right..." A minister raised an objection.

Zhao Rao eyes cold cold, "I am not asking your opinion, is to order you to arrange like this."

"Cheng Zheng is not a member of the royal family, and he has no marriage with the emperor. If he is buried in the imperial tomb, he will not be able to explain to the ancestors of the previous emperors." An old prince of the clan frowned.

"Uncle Wang, do you want to tell the emperor in person?" Zhao Rao asked lightly, "in the future, how to explain to the emperor is my business. If you feel that Cheng Zheng and I are short of a wedding, we should hold the wedding first and then the funeral."

“……”

Zhao Rao's toughness caught all the ministers by surprise. Cheng Zheng died and Zhao Rao's biggest supporter died. She was even more tough than before. Isn't she afraid of the resistance of the courtiers?

"The emperor, please think twice. If you talk about the scenery, you can bury Lord Cheng, but you can't bury him in the imperial mausoleum." A minister knelt down to stop Zhao Rao's decision.

Other ministers looked at each other. Most of them were promoted by Cheng Zheng. Zhao Rao was not mean to them. They didn't want to embarrass Zhao Rao at this time.

"If I have to bury Cheng Zheng's coffin in the imperial tomb?" Zhao Rao looks at the four ministers kneeling in front of her, two of them are cabinet ministers, and two of them are clansmen. They all argue with Cheng Zheng most often.

Cheng Zheng tried his best to be with her. Now he is dead. If they can't be together after their death, what's the meaning of her being the emperor?

Didn't he let her sit in this position in order to be together at will?

"The ministers have to resign, otherwise they will not have the face to see the emperor in the future." Cabinet minister Wang Zhong said.

"Oh, I'm sure." Zhao Rao spoke lightly.

The other three ministers, who had not yet opened their mouths, suddenly raised their heads, and a surprise flashed in their eyes, thinking that Zhao Rao had succumbed so easily.

"When song Hongao was called into the palace, I ordered him to be the commander in chief of the nine gates. He was restored to his previous official position and became the head of the cabinet." Zhao Rao looked at Wang Zhong without expression, "Lord Wang, remember to send up your official seal."

"The emperor?" Wang Zhong was stunned. Zhao Rao didn't even ask him to stay.

Zhao Rao continued to look at other people, "do you want to resign?"

"Your Majesty, please don't go your own way." He said painfully.

"I'm already emperor. If I'm threatened by you, what's the meaning of my emperor? I'd better be emperor." Zhao Rao sneered, "if you want to quit, you can quit. I will never leave anyone. If you want to threaten me with this, you are wrong."

Wang Zhong stood up and said in a fury, "Zhao Rao, you are a hen. Now you still ignore the royal dignity. You are not worthy to be the emperor of Qi."

"I don't deserve it, not has the final say." Zhao Rao smile, let Ling Jian come in and pull Wang Zhong down.

Soon, song Hongao came.

Song Hongao is Zhao Yong's confidant. After he resigned, even Cheng Zheng was polite to him. Now Zhao Rao wants to restore him to his original position and become the commander of the nine gates. Obviously, Zhao Rao wants to win him over.

I don't know whether the Marquis of Zhenguo, who can compete with Cheng Zheng one or two, is willing to accept Zhao Rao's important position.

"I have seen the emperor." Song Hongao walked into the hall and gave Zhao Rao a gift.

"Did you find it?" Zhao Rao saw him, her eyes were cold.

Song Hongao said, "I have ordered people to block all the checkpoints, but I'm afraid it's a little slow. "

Zhao Rao wants him to stop Lu Yaoyao from leaving. He also wants to see her. Unfortunately, since Lu Yaoyao can kill Cheng Zheng, she must be able to leave Qi safely."Then let them go." Zhao Rao closed her eyes and suppressed the hatred from her heart. "I want to bury Cheng Zheng in the imperial mausoleum. In the future, my tomb will be built, and I will be buried together with me in a hundred years. What do you think of it?"

"It's the emperor's family business. I can't say much." Song Hongao said that he had been with Zhao Yong for so many years. He had seen so many absurd things about him that he could even rob other people's wives. What absurd things Zhao Rao did were hereditary. There was nothing to say. Even if Zhao Yong was alive, he would not pay attention to so many things.

Zhao Rao mouth slightly hook, "the Marquis said right, this is my family affairs."

When other ministers heard song Hongao's words, they immediately understood what he meant.

It seems that their previous conjectures were all wrong. Song Hongao was not the son of the fifth prince. He supported Zhao Rao from the beginning to the end.

"What do you think I want you to return to your original post?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice.

Song Hongao slowly knelt down, "the minister leads the edict."

"From today on, the state of Qi and the state of Jin are no longer allies. As long as I live one day, I will be irreconcilable with the state of Jin. All merchants and people from the state of Jin will be expelled from the state of Qi." Zhao Rao drooped her eyes and whispered her decision.

All the ministers were silent.

"The emperor, what he has to do now is to bury Lord Cheng first. As for how to settle with the state of Jin, we still need to consider for a long time." Song Hongao said in a deep voice.

Zhao Rao tightly grasps the handle. She knows it's too impulsive to do so, but she just can't forget the scene when Lu Yaoyao killed Cheng Zheng.

She just wanted to tear Lu Yaoyao to pieces.

"Good." Zhao Rao clenched her teeth and finally calmed down.

Song Hongao looked at her and sighed helplessly in his heart.

The death of Cheng Zheng is a great blow to Zhao Rao.
