Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talents, and he is unwilling to neglect talented people. However, His Majesty is busy with state affairs every day, and the details still need to be shared by His Majesty."

Shinzong nodded, "Brother Huang said that, in fact, I had talked with Li Xiang earlier about governing the Tao. Li Xiang once said that there is no need to belittle newcomers. This is the first. I asked who in the court was like this? Li Xiang said like a plum Xun, Zeng Zhiyao, Li Yigeng, etc. are all right. I also asked twice about Mei Xun, and Li Xiang only said that he was not a gentleman. Today, my brother Dao Ming, I realized Li Xiang's meticulous intentions and rigorous recommendation of virtuous people."

"Li Xiang occupies an important position, he is cautious in his practice, he has no branches and leaves, and knows the general situation. He occupies a close position, does not seek reputation, and follows the rules and regulations. People can't do anything for selfishness. It is often said in the Analects of Confucius: "Use wisely and love others, so that the people can use the time." .Two sentences require myself, but I often think that I have not yet achieved it, which is admirable."

"Yes." Zhenzong sighed and nodded, "So I trust Chao Jiong recommended by Li Xiang, and I hope he will live up to Li Xiang's actions."

"I don't know much about Mr. Chao, except that he has a lot of books, and he has many political achievements during his tenure as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. I heard that he is still editing books. From this point of view, Mr. Chao is the best candidate for making edicts. "

"Well, this is what I like about him, and I intend to let him participate in the compilation of national history in the future." Zhenzong nodded and said, "I have written the imperial decree, and just sent the servant to his mansion to announce the decree. Starting tomorrow, Zhao Anren will enter the palace as a Hanlin scholar The Hanlin Academy."

"Your Majesty is really very thoughtful." De Fang said, "Your Majesty, I heard that recently Yantie's Deputy Envoy and member of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Bian Gun Bian, is also seriously ill."

"I've also heard that it's back gangrene, and the person has lost a lot of weight." Zhenzong sighed, "The heat is unbearable, and many ministers in the court have fallen ill, but the important officials of the temple and the cabinet are also among them." , makes me worry."

"Your Majesty, why don't you visit the mansions of several important ministers on behalf of His Majesty these few days, and take the national soldiers and the medical officers in the mansion to treat them along the way."

"No, no, no." Zhenzong shook his head, "Wouldn't it make the emperor run outside under the scorching sun and the scorching heat? If something happens to the emperor, what should I do? It must be done."

Defang sighed softly, "Your Majesty is sympathetic, so why don't you visit Li Xiangfu again, I heard that Li Xiang's situation is getting worse."

Zhenzong thought for a while, "Let's go now, Brother Huang, go with me."

"His Majesty."

Zhenzong shook his palm and ordered, "Come here!"

Zhou Huaizheng walks into "His Majesty"

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Li Xiang's mansion."

"Zunzhi" Zhou Huaizheng came out of the palace to make arrangements, Defang said, "Your Majesty, the sun is shining right now, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."

"I have no problem. Li Xiang is the pillar of the court. The officials set an example and are decisive in major matters. If something really happens this time, I, hey." Zhenzong got up, and went out of the palace with Defang to Li Han's mansion.

At this time, Li Hang was seriously ill. Zhenzong comforted his family and gave him 5000 taels of platinum.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Li Hang's sickness, Defang didn't know how to persuade Zhenzong. Zhenzong shook his head, "Brother Emperor. I'm tired, so you can go back home to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Defang cupped his hands, watched Zhenzong go, and then got on the sedan chair and returned to the mansion. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, a man rode to the empty space in front of the palace, then jumped off the horse and ran to Defang. Jiajun stepped forward and crossed his saber and shouted. "Stop! Who dares to charge! Take it down!"
