When Zhao Heng summoned Zhao Zhen, Li Zhang happened to be in Yanqing Hall, so he came with him. Speaking of which, he has often accompanied Zhao Zhen here recently, so the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall knew him. In addition, because Zhao Heng was dying, there was a little panic inside and outside the hall, so Li Zhang also entered the hall very smoothly. Of course, he also knew the importance and stood quietly behind Zhao Zhen, trying not to attract attention.

Zhao Heng, who had been lying on his face, sat up at this time, and there was a bit of abnormal flush on his cheeks, because the imperial doctor had asked Zhao Heng to take the decoction to hang his life. In other words, Zhao Heng is actually overdrawing his last little vitality now in order to explain the last words clearly.

"Zhener, you...you are a sensible child. You are very at ease with your father. I will take care of your mother and sister in the future!" Zhao Heng grabbed Zhao Zhen's hand and told him weakly that even as an emperor, he was actually similar to an ordinary man at the last moment of his life. The one who was most at ease was his family.

"Don't worry, Father! My son... I will do my best to take good care of my mother and sister!" Zhao Zhen also nodded heavily while crying. Miao Yuan next to him was even more crying. Although she was young, she vaguely felt that maybe after today, she would never see her father again.

Zhao Heng's children died countless times in this life, but Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan survived, so he loved these children very much. Even at this time, he still held his hands tightly and was unwilling to let go for a long time. Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan cried together at this time, making the hall full of sad atmosphere.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng only had a son like Zhao Zhen, so he had no worries about the throne. The imperial edict for passing the throne had been written long ago, and it was placed next to his pillow. So after he instructed Zhao Zhen, he asked them to retreat temporarily and then summon Liu E to come forward.

"Empress, I... I'm sorry for you in the matter of Kou Zhun!" What Li Zhang did not expect was that after Zhao Heng grabbed Liu E's hand, he actually said such a somewhat inexplicable sentence. However, except for Liu E and Zhao Zhen and Miao Yuan in the hall, there was only outsider Li Zhang, and Zhao Zhen and Miao Yuan were only concerned about crying at this time, and probably didn't hear it.

"It's time, what else does Your Majesty say about this?" Liu E also said in tears at this time. She understood the meaning of Zhao Heng's words, but no matter what, these would not affect the relationship between them and their husbands. In fact, when she recalled, Liu E had married and liked other people when she was young, but she loved Zhao Heng the most in her life.

Hearing his wife's words, Zhao Heng's old face also showed a bitter smile, then he gasped for a few breaths and said again: "I have done many wrong things in my life and done some good things. Among these things, what I am most proud of is to marry you. With the company of your queen in this life, I finally don't feel too lonely, but I will leave you first today!"

"Your Majesty~" Liu E heard her husband's true feelings and immediately cried out in Zhao Heng's arms, and tears couldn't stop flowing out. Zhao Heng couldn't live without her. How could she have left Zhao Heng? Even though Zhao Heng became crazy before and even lying on the bed wouldn't move, as long as he was still alive, she would have a sustenance in her heart.

Zhao Heng also stretched out his arm and gently held his wife and comforted him a few words. Liu E also knew that it was not the time to cry, so she quickly wiped her tears and sat up straight again. Zhao Heng also spoke again: "Zheng'er is young. If he is asked to rule, the power will definitely fall into the hands of powerful ministers, so the empress will temporarily deal with the government affairs in the future!"

"I understand!" Liu E said with tears in her eyes at this time. The couple had some differences before this incident, but at the last moment, Zhao Heng chose her, which moved and sad.

Next, Zhao Heng advised Liu E for a while. In addition to the matters in the court, he also told Liu E to take care of Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan, as well as the concubines in the palace and others. Liu E also agreed one by one. Finally, Zhao Heng issued an order to summon other concubines in the palace. After a while, a large group of concubines entered the hall one by one, but everyone was sad. Of course, it was impossible to tell whether it was true or not.

When Li Zhang saw these concubines, he couldn't help but feel excited, and then looked at them secretly. He was not trying to see the beauty. Although these concubines were indeed more beautiful than the other, he didn't have the intention now because he wanted to find his own aunt, Zhao Zhen's real mother, Concubine Li Chen. Of course, Li seems to be just a small Wanyi now.

However, after watching for a long time, Li Zhang's eyes were blurred in the end, but he could not tell which one was Li Wanyi. After all, he had never seen his aunt before, and there were so many concubines in the palace, and now he was crying and making makeup was exhausted, which made people even more indistinguishable. In desperation, he had to give up.

However, although there were many concubines, Zhao Heng only gave a few words, just to let them follow Liu E's teachings in the future and restrain their families from causing trouble. It took less than a minute to add up. Then Zhao Heng waved his hand to let the concubines go down.

After explaining the family matters, Zhao Heng summoned the ministers waiting outside the hall in. The leader was Ding Wei, and followed closely by a tall old man. Li Zhang did not know the other party. After Ding Wei and the old man, he was some other important officials, including Lin Te, who Li Zhang knew.

After seeing these ministers come in, Zhao Heng cheered up again and explained his last words. In fact, it was nothing more than reiterating that after his death, Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne and Liu E assisted the government. Ding Wei and others shed tears to express their loyalty, but the tears of their ministers were probably cheaper than those of the concubines before.

After Zhao Heng gave his last words in front of the minister, he waved his hand to let them retreat. He was exhausted and panting, and the flush on his face became even more abnormal. This made Liu E also come forward with distress and hug Zhao Heng, allowing him to rest in his arms.

Zhao Zhen and Miao Yuan seemed to feel something, and they cried even harder. Li Zhang sighed and stepped forward to comfort him. However, after taking a few breaths, Zhao Heng suddenly looked at Li Zhang and waved to him.

"Me?" At first Li Zhang thought he had read it wrong. After all, Zhao Heng would not let him go forward at this time no matter what. However, seeing that Zhao Heng did nodded to him, he finally made him sure that Zhao Heng was calling him, so he had to go forward.

"The Queen has told me about Tudou. If it is really successful, your contribution will be compared with my founding fathers of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Heng was lying in Liu E's arms at this time, and said with a weak smile to Li Zhang.

"Your Majesty is too good, this is what I should do!" Li Zhang finally realized at this time and said very modestly that Tudou is still a secret now. Except for him, Liu E and Zhao Zhen who were present that day, there was no one else. However, he did not expect that Liu E had reported it to Zhao Heng, probably to make him happy.

"I am very happy to have a brother like you when I take credit, but I am not proud. In the future, the queen will handle government affairs and all military and national affairs will be on her. I am afraid there will be no time to take care of Zhen'er and Miaoyuan. Then I will have to take care of you, the brother, to take care of them!" Zhao Heng praised Li Zhang and reminded him again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high hopes!" Li Zhang immediately said and promised that even if Zhao Heng didn't speak, he would definitely take good care of Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan. Not to mention anything else, just after spending time together, he also regarded Zhao Zhen and his two younger brothers and sisters.

"With your words, I... I will feel relieved!" Zhao Heng also showed a gratified smile at this time. After saying that, he suddenly arched his body and coughed violently. Liu E hurriedly patted him on his back, but it had no effect, which made Liu E cry in a hurry.

Finally, Zhao Heng stopped coughing, and then lay weakly in Liu E's arms. However, at this time, his face, which was originally flushed, turned pale, and his breathing became more and more weak and weak, and the spirit in his eyes slowly disappeared. When Zhao Heng's eyes slowly closed, his breathing also stopped, and a generation of emperors passed away.

"Great send to Your Majesty!" Liu E put Zhao Heng gently on the bed with tears in her face, then knelt down in front of the bed and murmured. The other people in the hall also knelt down one after another. When the ministers outside the hall received the news, the voices of "Great send to Your Majesty" were also connected.

"Father!" Zhao Zhen and Miao Yuan cried sadly, like a cuckoo crying blood, and then fell to Zhao Heng and cried bitterly. Li Zhang also sighed at this time. Although he and Zhao Heng did not have much interaction and only met twice, the other party was still confused, but now he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the other party passing away.

Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan cried so hard that they were out of breath, but in the end they were persuaded to leave by Li Zhang. Although Liu E was also distraught, she still forced herself to start dealing with Zhao Heng's funeral. In addition, the ministers in the court also needed to be appeased and had no time to control Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan, so Li Zhang could only stay in the palace and did not go back for seven days.

It was not until Zhao Heng's first seven that Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan's emotions finally stabilized, and Li Zhang finally found an opportunity to go home. Although the conditions in the palace were countless times better than those in the family, as the saying goes, the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as the grass nest at home. Only when you get to the family can you truly relax.

When Li Zhang returned home, his family was filled with joy. After all, he hadn't come back for so long, and his family was worried about him, but they couldn't enter the palace and could not find out about Li Zhang. Now that Li Zhang is back, they can finally feel at ease.
