The whole country of Qi was in mourning.

Cheng Zheng's death was no longer a secret. Word spread from the palace to the capital city, and soon the whole country knew the news.

Although Cheng Zheng is not the emperor, he has been a general who has protected his family and the country since he was the first emperor. In recent years, if it were not for Cheng Zheng, the Qi State might have been invaded by the Beiming Kingdom. Although he has an ulterior relationship with his niece However, he was not originally from the Cheng family and had no blood relationship with the Queen. However, he was still accepted in Qi State, which had open folk customs.

His death almost sent people across the country into panic.

Zhao Yong is dead, and Cheng Zheng is also dead. What fate will Qi face next?

The palace was already deserted.

Zhao Rao, who had been in the Yangxin Hall all day and night, finally came out and met with the cabinet ministers and clan ministers to discuss the funeral arrangements for Zheng Zheng.

Everyone could see Zhao Rao's sadness, but she seemed unexpectedly calm, as if from the moment Cheng Zheng died, Zhao Rao was no longer the Zhao Rao she used to be.

"The emperor wants to bury Mr. Cheng in... the imperial mausoleum?" The cabinet ministers were stunned when they heard Zhao Rao's words.

They all knew that Cheng Zheng had a close relationship with the Queen, but it would be unbelievable to bury Cheng Zheng in the imperial mausoleum.

"Be buried in the imperial mausoleum first, build my mausoleum later, and then move Cheng Zheng's coffin in." Zhao Rao whispered, her voice was not high, but there was something majestic and determined that made people dare not object.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..." Some ministers objected.

Zhao Rao's eyes were cold, "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm ordering you to arrange it this way."

"Cheng Zheng is not a member of the royal family, and he is not married to the emperor. If he is buried in the imperial mausoleum, he may not be able to explain to the ancestors of the late emperor." An old prince from the clan frowned and said.

"Uncle Wang, do you want to go and explain to the late Emperor in person?" Zhao Rao asked lightly, "How to explain to the late Emperor in the future is my business. If you feel that Cheng Zheng and I lack a wedding, then Just have the wedding first and then the funeral.”

"..."

Zhao Rao's toughness caught all the ministers off guard. Cheng Zheng died, Zhao Rao's biggest supporter died, and she was still tougher than before. Isn't she afraid of the courtiers' resistance?

"Your Majesty, please think twice. No matter how grand the funeral is for Mr. Cheng, it is fine, but it is absolutely not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum." A minister knelt down to stop Zhao Rao from making this decision.

The other ministers looked at each other in confusion. Most of them were promoted by Cheng Zheng, and Zhao Rao treated them well. They did not want to embarrass Zhao Rao at this time.

"What if I have to let Cheng Zheng's coffin be buried in the imperial mausoleum?" Zhao Rao looked at the four ministers kneeling in front of her. Two were cabinet ministers and two were from the clan. They all followed Cheng Zheng on weekdays. The most argumentative.

Cheng Zheng tried his best to be with her during his lifetime, but now that he is dead, if they can't be together after death, then what's the point of her being the emperor?

Didn't he let her sit in this position just so that he could be together as he pleased?

"I have no choice but to resign, otherwise I will have no face to see the late emperor in the future." Cabinet Minister Wang Zhong said.

"Oh, I'm sure." Zhao Rao said calmly.

The other three ministers who had not yet spoken suddenly raised their heads, surprise flashing in their eyes, thinking that Zhao Rao had given in so easily.

"Song Hong'ao is summoned to the palace. I order him to be the Admiral of the Nine Sects, restore his previous official position, and take charge of the cabinet." Zhao Rao looked at Wang Zhong expressionlessly, "Master Wang, remember to send up your official seal."

"Your Majesty?" Wang Zhong was stunned. Zhao Rao didn't even say a word to persuade him to stay.

Zhao Rao continued to look at the others, "Do you also want to resign?"

"Your Majesty, please don't insist on having your own way." Prince Kang said sadly.

"I'm already the emperor. If I still have to be threatened by you, then what's the point of me being the emperor? Why don't you become the emperor?" Zhao Rao sneered, "If you want to resign, just resign. I will never If you want to keep someone alive and want to threaten me, then you have made the wrong calculation."

Wang Zhong stood up and said angrily, "Zhao Rao, you Si Chen, you still don't care about the dignity of the royal family. You are not worthy of becoming the emperor of Qi."

"Whether I am worthy or not is not up to you." Zhao Rao smiled slightly and let Ling Jian come in and pull Wang Zhong down.

Not long after, Song Hongao came.

Song Hongao was Zhao Yong's confidant. After he resigned, even Cheng Zheng was polite to him. Now that Zhao Rao wants to reinstate him and become the nine-door admiral, he obviously wants to win over him.

I wonder if this Zhen Guohou, who can compete with Cheng Zheng, is willing to accept Zhao Rao's important position.

"I have met the emperor." Song Hongao walked into the hall with a calm expression and bowed to Zhao Rao.

"Have you found it?" Zhao Rao looked at him with cold eyes.

Song Hongao said, "I have ordered people to seal off various checkpoints, but... I'm afraid it's a step too late."

Zhao Rao wanted him to stop Lu Yaoyao from leaving, and he also wanted to see her. Unfortunately, since Lu Yaoyao was able to kill Cheng Zheng, she would definitely be able to leave Qi safely.

"Then let them leave." Zhao Rao closed his eyes and suppressed the hatred that came to his heart. "I want to bury Cheng Zheng in the imperial mausoleum. When my mausoleum is built in the future, we will move in with me a hundred years later. What do you think of being buried together as the marquis of Zhenguo?"

"This is the emperor's family matter, I can't say much." Song Hongao said, he had been with Zhao Yong for so many years, and he had seen so many ridiculous things with him. He could even steal other people's wives. What ridiculous things did Zhao Rao do? Things, they are all hereditary, there is nothing to say. Even if Zhao Yong was alive, he probably wouldn't pay so much attention to it.

Zhao Rao's lips curled up slightly, "The Marquis of Zhenguo is right, this is my family matter."

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

It seems that their previous guesses were wrong. Song Hongao was not from the fifth prince, and he supported Zhao Rao from the beginning to the end.

"I want you to be reinstated, what do you think?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice.

Song Hongao slowly knelt down and said, "I accept the order."

"From today on, Qi State and Jin State are no longer allies. As long as I live one day, I will definitely be at odds with Jin State. All merchants and people from Jin State will be driven out of Qi State." Zhao Rao lowered his eyes and whispered. Her decision.

All the ministers were silent.

"Your Majesty, what we have to do now is to bury Mr. Cheng first. As for how to settle the settlement with Jin Kingdom, we need to consider it in the long term." Song Hongao said in a deep voice.

Zhao Rao grasped the handle tightly with both hands. She knew it was too impulsive, but she just couldn't forget the scene where Lu Yaoyao killed Cheng Zheng.

She just wanted to cut Lu Yaoyao into pieces.

"Okay." Zhao Rao gritted his teeth and finally calmed down.

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

Cheng Zheng's death was a huge blow to Zhao Rao.
