The emperor's funeral is as important as the throne, wedding, and birthday. It must be held in great orders, and it consumes countless money.

Zhao Zhi was over 60 years old and was considered a long life among the thirty or forty emperors of the Jin Dynasty.

After the emperor's death, the Ministry of Rites will draw up a funeral statement, which details the procedures and rituals of the emperor's funeral. On the day after the emperor's death, the heirs and his descendants must wear mourning clothes and be filial. All officials and people are not allowed to have fun within 100 days, slaughter is not allowed within 49 days, marriage is prohibited within one month, and during the mourning period, the temples must be watched 30,000 times.

The court would hold a ceremony to issue an edict in front of the main city gates to inform the people and officials of the city that because Zhao Zhi had a lasting order in front of him, the Crown Prince Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne in front of his spirit, so Zhao Xun inherited the throne in advance, but the extent to which he should be, would continue. After Li Zhong read the edict in front of Zhao Zhi's spirit, he would then give the edict to the Censor General Liu Congji. He would lead the main officials of the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites to Tianwu Gate and read the edict again. Then the court issued a document to inform all the prefectures and counties in the world that the new emperor had succeeded.

Later, there are scripture chanting and condolences, and a series of activities will continue to run throughout the entire mourning period.

The emperor's coffin was called "codon", and it was painted with forty-nine paints. The dead emperor was buried and moved to the Dezheng Hall of the main palace hall of the palace, indicating that the funeral period was officially entered, and nobles such as royal family and royal relatives were to go home to fast. The prime minister of the government and the main officials of various ministries and yamen were not allowed to go home, and they were to stay together in the yamen to fast.

The official mourning hall will be set up in the Dezheng Hall, and the coffin will be parked here for about 20 days. A yellow dragon curtain should be set up next to the mourning hall, white silk curtains should be set up on both sides, and the coffin should be placed in the center. A rosewood treasure trotter with the best yellow satin embroidered dragon mattress should be set up in front.

Before the treasure collapses, there will be a rosewood altar table, with silver incense stoves and vases placed on it. There will be three rosewood incense tables arranged in front of the altar table. In the middle, there will be a silver-binding mountain stove, incense, spoons, chopsticks, bottles, etc. There will be silver candles and sheep horn lanterns on the left side. There will be morning, evening meals and fruit tables placed in front of both sides. On the left side, there will be a golden satin nine-dragon lead banner.

When it was the auspicious day of burial, seventy-two people carried the coffin out of the Tianwu Gate. At this time, the royal government came out in full swing. According to the Jin Dynasty, the sixty-four banner-guiding men were walking in front, holding up the flags and umbrellas of the people, followed by the emperor's guard of ceremonies, with more than a thousand people holding various weapons, flags and various paper-making pieces. It was magnificent and spectacular. The stewards carrying coffins were wearing mourning clothes, and each squad had 128 people, and were carried in three shifts. Behind the coffin were fully armed elite soldiers, followed by civil and military officials, royal relatives, and cars and sedans were continuous.

There are also a large number of burial items.

The death of an emperor and the money spent by the court is definitely an astronomical figure.

Zhao Zhi had explained several times before that after his death, all funerals were kept simple and he wrote a list of the funeral items and the scale of the funeral were all explained in detail.

As a son, one must naturally be filial. Zhao Xun is filial to filial piety, and it is impossible to follow Zhao Zhi's words. Everything is simple, and it is not enough to be too simple. Therefore, the scale of the funeral explained in front of Zhao Zhi was slightly improved. Overall, it is much simpler than the funerals of previous emperors.

After Emperor Pingzong was in poor health in his later years, he quickly let his prince over the country and no longer be in charge of national affairs. Therefore, from Zhao Zhi's role as the prince to the emperor, his years of rule lasted for nearly forty years, which was almost the life of a generation.

Zhao Zhi's life can be said to be a life of struggle. After his efforts, the Jin Dynasty, which was on the verge of destruction, has regained its vitality and has achieved a series of brilliant military victories in the past twenty years. However, in terms of people's livelihood, the people are very hard, very hard. In order to expand the army, to maintain the military strength of Longyou and Anbei, and to ensure the sufficient core materials within the pass, Zhao Zhi has adopted very cruel exploitation and suppression of various prefectures and counties outside the pass, especially in the Jiangnan area, which was forcibly increased taxes again and again by Zhao Zhi, cruel exploitation, has made this once most prosperous place in the world, and the people have suffered so much.

Before Zhao Zhi, the Jiangnan region generally did not set up a Jiedushi. Even if it was set up, it would be temporarily and would be cancelled soon. However, in this dynasty, the Jiangnan region established four Jiedushi vassal states in succession. What was the purpose of exploiting and suppressing the people's resistance.

Many people at the bottom hated Zhao Zhi to the core, so in Zhao Zhi's dynasty, the people's riots were also one after another. Although the scale was not too large, they would be suppressed soon, but such things have never been cut off.

Now that Zhao Zhi has passed away, his death has shaken the whole world.

Zhao Xun followed Zhao Zhi's explanation before his death, and the funeral was simple, from the beginning to the end, which took less than ten days in total.

On the day Zhao Zhi was in funeral, hundreds of thousands of Fengjing people, from the city to the outside, ran for more than ten miles away. The crying sounded and full of tears came to see their emperor for the last journey.

Zhao Zhi's death finally affected the great grief in the hearts of all the people in the world. In the past thirty years when he was emperor, the people might have lived a very hard life, but without Zhao Zhi, the Jin Dynasty was probably divided and the country was destroyed decades ago. At that time, the sufferings the people suffered must have been much more cruel than they are now. Zhao Zhi was hated by many people, but it was because of him that the Jin Dynasty could continue. In the hundreds of years after Wuzong, the country's weakness was always bullied by foreign tribes and local vassal states. It was Zhao Zhi who used a series of military means to repel the invasion of foreign tribes and suppress the arrogance of various vassal states. In his hands, a series of brilliant military victories appeared, which greatly boosted the dignity and confidence of the Han people and restored the majesty of the country.

The honor and disgrace of the country is the honor and disgrace of the people. If a country loses its dignity, how good can the people living in this country be?

Therefore, the vast majority of the people in the world still agree with and be grateful to Emperor Zhao Zhi.

Especially the people in the pass, when they heard the news of Zhao Zhi's death, almost every family was wearing mourning clothes and kowtowed and cried in the direction of Fengjing.

During the Zhao Zhi Dynasty, the people in other places may have lived in the heat of water, but the people in the pass have lived well. Zhao Zhi has been in power for nearly 30 years and has never increased taxes once in the pass. Instead, tax exemptions are often reduced. This goodness is not Zhao Zhi's personal emotions, but only for political and overall situation choices. But no matter what, the people in the pass have lived very well in the past few decades in the pass.
