Every hour, even if he has already told his servants, he will still watch his servants turn over, pat his back, knead his father, including cleaning his body, and even wait for him to relieve himself. Although Zhao Xi didn't do it himself , will be present.

He could see the nostalgia in his father's eyes, and he could also understand his comfort for this son.

It's a pity, after all, I still have to watch my father slowly fail.

The old man has lost his shape. He has been bedridden for a long time, and his whole body has completely degenerated except for his eyelids.

Even if it's liquid food, the amount that can be poured into Dad's mouth is getting smaller and smaller.

Zhao Xi knew that Dad might not have much time left.

Zhao Zhen himself knew that he was really going...

I have to give an account in my life. I have been on the throne for more than 40 years, and I feel that I can still be justified.

Especially after Xi'er became an adult, the country can be described as changing with each passing day.

In the early days, the imperial court that ate more than enough food and was short-lived every year, because of the various means of his son, the surplus of the imperial court became more and more sufficient.

Now the country’s tax revenue for a year is almost comparable to that of the sealed pile treasury... My son said that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun should not use money to get it back, but the total money should be paid back.

He agrees very much and knows that his son has this ability.

But the only regret is...he couldn't see Yanyun sixteen states take it back with his own eyes.

At the same time, he is also very proud. When facing his ancestors, he can confidently say: I have not only created an unprecedented prosperous era, but also a successor who is worthy of an emperor through the ages.

Perhaps, his son is the proudest thing in his life.

The torment of having no heirs in the first 30 years, maybe God just wanted to give him a Zhao Xi!

Back to the East Palace... My son hasn't left for another two months.

Every time Zhao Zhen mentioned it, Zhao Xi would return to the East Palace only once.

Especially since this year, he feels that his father will disappear at any time, the kind of departure when the oil lamp is exhausted.Therefore, he rarely returned to the East Palace.

"According to father's will..."

Zhao Xi saw that his father was in good spirits today. It has been more than two months. Although the women in his family are well-informed and reasonable, it is time to go back and have a look.

……

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

It should be just after a while, when Zhao Xi fell asleep for a while, he heard a very urgent cry.He woke up suddenly... Don't be the father's accident!

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has done a great job..."

Zhao Xi felt as if his body had been emptied by something, and the body that had just stood up wobbled a few times before stabilizing.

What he should have thought of was that the old man's mental state is obviously much better today... This is the reflection of the past. For a person who has been ill for a long time, the reflection of the past cannot be considered by ordinary people.

Chapter 380 The Horrible Court

Zhao Xi has been in a state of withdrawn soul these past few days, as if nothing can enter his mind.

I kept thinking in my mind... Dad didn't see him at the last moment!

Even though Old Chen Lin had told him that after he left Yanfu Palace, the official family fell asleep, and it was only when he turned the official family over for the second time that he realized that the official family had already done well.

But Zhao Xi still got into that night.

That night, when Zhao Xi heard the bad news, he arranged to notify the governor in an orderly manner, and also clearly warned everyone that they must take good care of the empress.

But when he arrived at Yanfu Palace and saw his father's shriveled body, he couldn't get his mind back.

Zhao Xi knew very well that he was not the Zhao Xi of this era, and he was not really a father and son with this father, at least not in soul, but he just couldn't restrain the sadness.

I have always been in a state of ignorance.

Even Zhi Zai has changed his name, he is also confused... He is already an official.

On the night when the old man disappeared, when the stewards entered the inner garden, they confirmed that the old man was indeed Daxing.All the executives directly address him as His Majesty...

The inheritance of the throne is very plain, but Zhao Xi feels very awkward.As if he was in a hurry to take over the position, the old man had just left here, and his address was immediately called His Majesty.

At that time, Zhao Xi's mind was empty, and he didn't pay attention at all. After he calmed down, the edict had been written, and the empress had already sealed the emperor's seal in place of him who was grieving, and was ready to announce it to the world.

Your Majesty is grieving because of the late emperor's great deed... This is the consensus of the entire Neiyuan and even the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall.

In fact, Zhao Xi was dazed and confused.

Zhao Xi has a reputation of being extremely filial, and the refusal to abdicate at the beginning was a manifestation of true filial piety, not letting the late emperor take the blame...

Afterwards, Zhao Xi became a puppet to be manipulated casually.

The former emperor was on the throne, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the court has complete etiquette. All the procedures are recorded in the Ministry of Rites. Even if Zhao Xi finds it awkward, he can only accept it... It seems that this matter has not changed.

Niangniang has become empress dowager, Taoniang has become empress, Su and Duan are concubines respectively... It seems that the Political Affairs Hall has discussed all these with him, and some people seem to say that His Majesty's inner court is a bit deserted.

Zhao Xi agreed, anyway, he didn't want to change... At this time, the most correct way is to obey and follow.

Si Tianjian has confirmed the auspicious day of the zodiac...well, any day will do.Zhao Xi has no objection that the enthronement ceremony must be held within one month of the first emperor's visit.

Send envoys to inform the surrounding countries... Well, this is just like the congratulatory messages of later generations, that's what it means.

"Heinous crimes are unforgivable. The Taizu once ruled that officials who violated the law and received wealth are not included in the pardon. What crimes do the officials think need to be added as unpardonable crimes?"

Amnesty to the world is a fixed procedure for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Zhao Xi disagrees with this the most, but this stall is still a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is impossible for him to change it.

"Follow the old rules."

There are too many things that Zhao Xi wants to change, but Zhao Xi knows that there cannot be any changes at this time.

It's not just that it doesn't make much sense to change the details. The key is that he doesn't want to alert the court as soon as he takes the throne, let alone not wanting to change now. Within three years of being in power, he will not disturb any system of the court.

"Your Majesty, now the railway and water transportation are almost connected to all the counties and prefectures of the country. The old minister thinks that all ministers and workers above the fifth rank of the country should participate in the grand ceremony of His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

The accession of the new emperor heralds the advent of a new era.

As for His Majesty's ascension to the throne, in Fu Bi's view, it may be to usher in a truly new era.

When His Majesty was still the crown prince, he had already used his wisdom to bring the country to a road of gradual prosperity.

The new emperor is worthy of the court's mobilization.
