Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yeah." Defang nodded, "Madam's words are reasonable, it's true. How did Madam just say that after listening to my words, you can be sure that Master Bi is the one?"

"If Mr. Kou is the one." Concubine Di looked at De Fang, "Is the prince still looking worried? It must be because His Majesty said something about Mr. Kou, which made the prince a little worried."

Defang touched her forehead, "I feel like I am like water in front of my wife, and I can see the bottom at a glance."

Concubine Di smiled and patted Defang's heart, "That's because your heart is like still water, pure and dust-free, my lord."

"Then, Madam, can you see clearly?"

"Well, it's very thorough and clear."

Defang shook Concubine Di's hand, "I just like listening to my wife, it's very comfortable to listen to."

"You talkative again." Concubine Di pointed to Defang's stomach, "Do you talk too much when your stomach is full?"

"Let's not talk anymore, my stomach is still full." De Fang held Di Concubine's hand, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

The next day, Defang took his eldest son Weixu to the post house to receive the envoy Bangbuzhi and his party, and clearly informed Bangbuzhi of the imperial court's attitude towards the party. Bangbuzhi said that he would discuss with the leader after returning to the territory.

"His Royal Highness Eight Worthy Kings" Bang Buzhi clasped his hands and said, "Li Thief and his son have bullied me in Xiliang Mansion for a long time, and tens of thousands of soldiers and people have been killed or injured. This time, they want to harm the leader of our clan. It is really abominable and hateful!"

Defang nodded, "Li Jiqian's father and son's invasion and harassment of our dynasty and our neighbors really made all the people resentful. Although Li Jiqian is dead, his son is powerful and his soldiers are strong. It cannot be eliminated in a short time. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. Nobles My court was also shocked by the attack on the leader. I didn't expect Li thief to be so insidious and vicious. Therefore, my court proposed to join forces with the nobles. Your majesty also attaches great importance to it. Although the situation is not strong, I hope to help Xiliang to avenge the master. I will discuss this matter with the nobles, and discuss it with the leader after the envoy returns to his place."

"Thank you for the great kindness of the Heavenly Dynasty. My Bangbu Branch pays my respects on behalf of the people of Xiliang."

Defang held Xia Bangbuzhi's arm, "The envoy of the state must not do this, it is related to the life and death of the people, and I will not sit idly by."

"Thank you His Royal Highness Eight Sage Kings"

"Envoy, take a seat." Several people took their seats again. "This is the first time for an envoy to come to Beijing. I wonder if you can get used to living in a posthouse?"

"The decoration of the post house is the same as that of our family, and everything is fine."

"Kaifeng is different from Xiliang, and it is now in the summer office. It is extremely hot. Many people in Beijing have suffered from heatstroke. All envoys, please drink more tea and water every day. The lonely king has ordered people to make more soup and send it to the post. Hall."

"Before we entered the palace, we drank the soup sent by His Highness. It was very delicious. Thank you for taking such good care of Your Highness."

"This is what it should be." Defang picked up the tea bowl, gently lifted the lid and slid over the edge of the tea bowl, and took a sip. The other envoys on the side were talking to Wei Xu. Defang looked at it and turned around and asked "Bang Envoy, as far as the Gu Wang knows, since Li Jiqian murdered the noble leader, he was seriously injured and returned to the camp and died. His son Li Deming is stepping up to expand the cavalry, but the supply of food and grass is still not enough, so the sneak attacks on the border towns are becoming more and more frequent. I wonder if Xiliang has increased troops to guard the border?"

"Thousands of troops have been added, but...the troops are still weak. We are too tired to deal with sneak attacks, and we have to defend against the Liao Kingdom. My Xiliang Mansion is a powerful country, so I can only ask the Celestial Dynasty for help."
