Later, he was convicted of losing the state city, and his previous achievements were redeemed. He joined the army as a recorder in Guozhou.Bian Gun: In the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo, he was the first Jinshi. At the beginning of Xianping, he moved to supervise the censor. He was the deputy envoy of Huainan transshipment and the dispatch envoy of Jinghu.In the sixth year of Xianping, the positions of the three envoys were merged and the second deputy was assigned.

He is known as competent.However, he is brutal in nature, severe in restraint, and specializes in beating Chu, so he has the title of "big bug". 】

Zhenzong said in the Chongzheng Palace, "Dun has had gangrene on his back since the previous month. I have sent medical staff to treat it, and the death can't get up. Now. He died suddenly, and the court has one less capable official."

Defang nodded, "Master Bian is the chief minister when he is in charge, he is fearless, he does his best, and few people can match him."

Zhenzong sighed and said, "However, Bian Gun is serving abroad, which hurts the cruelty. When he goes to the prefectures and counties, there is nothing to forgive for minor mistakes. If it is not for a major reason, the inspectors and subordinates should forgive them. Officials Since you should be afraid of prestige and virtue, you dare not make mistakes, and the affairs of the public are not unfavorable. You know that as an official, moderation is good."

"What Your Majesty said is that overcorrecting will only backfire. Lord Bian is upright and selfless, but it is rare to show respect. Now that he has died of illness, there are only a handful of mourners in the residence. The desolation of going west is sighing."

"Yes, even so, but I know his loyalty. Both Bian Gun and his father are brave generals and capable officials in the Song Dynasty. I believe that the Bian family still has loyal and filial descendants. I regard his son as the general supervisor. Father's talent, and then contribute to the Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, now that the border affairs are in danger, Prime Minister Bi has just entered the position, and he is busy every day until late at night before returning. I don't know what your Majesty's arrangements are for Kou Zhun?"

Zhenzong sighed, "Let's calm him down for a while."

Defang looked at Zhenzong, and had no choice but to hand in "Yes, Your Majesty"

Recently, Defang went to the study with only a little food. In the study, Defang took out the box in the corner again. After opening it, she stared at the scroll and the book, full of thoughts, and her eyes were moist unconsciously. At this time, a voice came from outside the study, "The prince is still in the study?"
