Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang smiled, patted Weixu on the shoulder, did not answer, turned around and got on the sedan chair, Baili put down the sedan chair curtain, and Jia Jun raised his fist, "The prince enters the palace, get up the sedan chair!"

Wei Xu froze on the spot, and the personal attendant asked happily, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh. It's all right." Wei Xu said slowly, "Xiaoxing, my father is really powerful. I guessed right away that the envoys have something to ask for, but how did my father know?"

"The prince has received envoys from various countries several times, and he must know them very well, so he knows what they think without asking."

Wei Xu nodded, "It makes sense, alas. I'll be like my father sometime."

"Your Majesty, you can definitely do it. You are the eldest son of the lord and empress. The lord sees the envoys to criticize the son, discusses the strategy of the war, invites the virtuous ministers to invite capable officials, and many times he takes you with him."

"Yes, my father has always cultivated me carefully, but..." Wei Xu sighed softly, "No matter how hard I try, I can never catch up with my father."

"Your Highness, you are still young. The prince said that His Highness is intelligent and kind. As long as you practice more, you will definitely make a difference."

"Xiao Xing, today is different from the past, no matter how much I practice, I will not be as successful as my father."

"Why does Your Majesty say that?"

"Because what my father experienced back then, no one can realize it." Wei Xu looked at Defang's sedan chair, "My father is using his life to experience, if I have [-]% of my father's ability, I will be satisfied."

"Your Highness" the guard Bo Zhong Bo Bang came over, "The prince's sedan chair has gone far away."

"Oh! That's right, let's go!" Wei Xu quickly got on the sedan chair, and Bo Zhong Bobang followed behind Defang's sedan chair, protecting Wei Xu's sedan chair. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the palace, and the two sedan chairs stopped. Steady, Defang and Weixu got off the sedan chair and came to the gate of the palace, and the guard stepped forward to greet him, "See Eight Sage Kings, His Royal Highness."

"You don't have to be polite, general."

The guard beckoned to the guard, "Hurry up and hold an umbrella for the prince and His Royal Highness."

Two guards ran over with umbrellas, and Defang smiled, "The general is interested, but the guards still have to be on duty, so they don't need to accompany them."

Baili and Tangxing who were behind took the umbrella and helped Defang and Weixu hold it up. Defang said, "It's so hot, everyone should drink more water. The general is the guard of each gate of the palace. Pay more attention to your body." .”

"Thank you, my lord. When General Hua was promoted, he repeatedly told the general to serve the lord well. Although it was only a brief meeting in front of the palace gate, he must be sincere and not be disrespectful." Prince leads the way."

Defang nodded, "The general wishes the lonely king to write it down, but it doesn't have to be like this, the lonely king and the prince just go in by themselves, walk slowly and talk, the general can go to work."

"Yes, the final general will obey the order of the lord." The general bowed and stretched out his hand, "My lord, please, Your Highness."

Baili Tangxing held up an umbrella and followed Defang and Weixu, with Chongming Shangen guarding both sides, Defang said, "Xu'er, I heard that the day before yesterday, Taichangcheng and the judge of the Third Department of Household Affairs, Mei Xun, went to the Ministry of Officials to talk to several people. Officials talked about party matters, but Li Xiang was quite displeased with this, I wonder if he went there specifically to discuss matters or because of other matters?"

"Master Mei went to Zhou Shilang to bring some books to check, and then we drank tea and chatted together. Later, several adults drank tea together, so we talked more."

"Did Lord Mei bring other people to the Ministry of Officials?"
