Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Don't! The younger one is the palace servant!" The servant hurriedly took out his badge, "My lord!"

Defang looked at it, walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong in the palace?"

"It's not in the palace, my lord. His majesty just arrived in front of the gate of the palace when Li Xiang's mansion came to report and said. Li Xianghe died of illness."

"What!" Defang was shocked, and immediately turned to get on the sedan chair, "Quick! Go to Li Xiangfu!"

The Defang sedan chair team rushed to Li Hang's mansion. At this time, there were cries in the mansion. Defang walked into the mansion quickly. Seeing Zhenzong standing in the main hall with his hand on his forehead, he was very sad. Defang stepped forward to support Zhenzong's "Your Majesty"

"Brother Huang." Zhenzong supported Defang's arm, "Ms. Li. Let's go."

"Your Majesty. Please take care."

Zhenzong cried and said, "Li Xiang is loyal, kind, honest, and consistent, so he doesn't want to enjoy his life." After weeping, Defang saw Zhenzong was so hurt, and quickly helped him sit down, "Your Majesty. Li Xiang has left, Your Majesty My condolences, Li Xiang devoted all his life to the country and the people. Li Xiang’s wish is that my Song Dynasty can get rid of the suffering of war as soon as possible, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Now, Li Xiang has fulfilled his mission, even Li Xiang would not want to see His Majesty so sad."

"I understand." Zhenzong nodded, "Li Xiang worked hard for state affairs. I can see it all. Now. I am heartbroken."

Defang sighed tearfully, "Li Xiangzhi's virtuous ability is known to everyone inside and outside the court, and now he is dying of bed illness, which is heartbreaking. When Li Xiang was sick, he still kept in mind state affairs, recommended talents, and his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is admirable. Your Majesty, now The loss of a virtuous prime minister is of course a grief, but I ask your Majesty to take care of the dragon's body, and state affairs are the most important thing."

Zhenzong waited for a while before he stopped his grief. He decreed to give Taiwei, Zhongshuling, posthumous title Wenjing, and recorded his third brother, one son, nephew and wife's brothers and sons as Jinshi.

[Li Hang: The character is Taichu, a native of Feixiang, Mingzhou.Great-grandfather Feng, Tailing Ling.Zu Tao, the judge of the Mingzhou regiment.Father Bing, from Xing Shuai Xue Huai, was appointed as an envoy for observation.Hang Shao is eager to learn and has a great talent.In the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, he was promoted to Jinshi Jiake.In order to serve as the supervisor and judge Tanzhou, he called the Zhizhi History Museum.In the third year of Yongxi's reign, he knew the imperial edict.In four years, he was transferred to Fang Yuanwai Lang and Hanlin Bachelor.In the third year of Chunhua, he paid homage to Shizhong and Shenzhi Zhengshi.Went out to know Henan Mansion, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the guest of the prince.At the beginning of Xianping, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Shenzhi Zhengshi, who worshiped Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and supervised the compilation of national history.Died in the first year of Jingde at the age of 58, posthumously named Wenjing]

A few days later, Emperor Zhenzong decreed to move Bi Shi'an, a minister of the Hanlin to serve as a bachelor, and Bi Shi'an, the minister of the Ministry of war, to be the minister of the Ministry of officials, to be a minister of political affairs, and to worship Pingzhang.Zhenzong and Defang summoned Bi Shi'an in the Chongzheng Hall, and Bi Shi'an entered the hall and knelt down to worship, "Chen An, I am ashamed of being honored by the Holy Grace. I am terrified in my heart, and I am dull. I should do my best to assist the state affairs, and comfort the people, in order to repay His Majesty's grace."

Zhenzong nodded, "Not yet, Bi Xiangzhi is capable, I know it in my heart, and I will do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

"From now on, state affairs will be assisted wholeheartedly by Bi Xiang."

"The minister should do his best to repay the grace of God, and thank His Majesty"

"Bi Xiang, please stand up and sit down." Bi Shi'an kowtowed, then got up and walked aside to salute De Fang, "My lord"

"Excuse me, Bi, please." Defang raised her hand, and Bi Shian sat down.

Shinzong asked, "I rely on Qing to assist the Prime Minister, why is it so special today. However, there are so many things at the time, and the foreign enemies will look at them fiercely. I am afraid that Bi Xiang will be bothered alone. I died because of Li Xiang's hard work. I still feel pain in my heart. Now, if you want to advance with Qing, who do you think will be suitable?"
