Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Brother Huang is right. Among the many officials who surrendered, Song Xiong is one of the most talented. I intend to put him in charge of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry. However, some officials said that Song Xiong was a descended official from the Northern Kingdom, and he should not be given such an important task. , I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

"Although Song Xiong was an official of the Khitan, he is a Han Chinese in the Central Plains. As far as I know, Master Song did a lot for the local people when he was working for Yingzhou. Your Excellency dabbles in literature and history, is good at talking, has integrity, and is highly praised by scholars. During the Northern Expedition, Wang Shi put righteousness first, and led the people to submit to the Communist Party. During his tenure in the court, he handled affairs in a timely and appropriate manner. I think Mr. Song has the talent in water conservancy, and he is loyal to Song Dynasty, so he is the best candidate to be the director of the Ministry of Water."

"I also think the same way. Song Xiong knows the advantages and disadvantages of the river and canal. I plan to order Song Xiong to lead the protection of Biankou, and to save the water potential so as to transfer the canal. The capital relies on it."

"Your Majesty only uses it for the virtuous, and I believe that more people from the northern kingdom will submit to our court."

"It must be so, it must be so." Zhenzong was very happy, "Brother Huang, I haven't been to this Ziyun Tower for a long time. Seeing that Yuyun is coming, I plan to take a look with Brother Huang. This will relieve my anger." rain scene."

Hearing this, Defang was even more unhappy, thinking that you would not let the queen and concubine accompany you well, and you insisted on pulling the lonely king to enjoy the rain scene, it is extremely boring, the chat is not comfortable, and the food is not good, Drinking tea doesn't smell good, and I'm not in the mood to watch the scenery. The lonely king and the princess have agreed to drink tea and watch the scenery together, but you are called into the palace forcibly, what should I do?Defang peeked outside, hurry up if it rains, waiting is even more annoying, Defang was drinking tea with a teacup, at this time a servant ran to Zhou Huaizheng and whispered a few words, Zhou Huaizheng hurried to Zhenzong and bowed Shen whispered, "Your Majesty, the queen is not feeling well, and the imperial doctor has been summoned."

"What?" Zhenzong immediately stood up, "What happened to the queen? How is it now?"

Zhou Huaizheng glanced at the servant, and the servant replied, "Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been in the Buddhist hall since early in the morning. For some reason, she felt dizzy. The female officer has already sent your Majesty back to the bedroom."

"Your Majesty," De Fang said, "The empress has been chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall for the past few months. It must be due to being too tired. Your Majesty should go back to the bedroom to have a look."

"The queen always thinks of Youer." Zhenzong was very sad. "My emperor, such a good child is only ten years old."

"Your Majesty needs to take care of the dragon's body, and the Empress needs to take care of it."

Zhenzong slowed down and nodded, "Then I'm going back to my bedroom, Brother Emperor, you should go back to your residence too."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Defang Gong sent Zhenzong away, and he hurriedly got off the Ziyun Tower and left the palace to return to the mansion. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a sedan chair, which looked familiar, so he called the goalkeeper and asked, "Who is this?" House?"

"Back to the lord, it is Mr. Kou, the third envoy."

Defang rubbed his forehead, "What is this guy doing here now? The lonely king is not allowed to relax in hot weather. Today is really weird, one after another."

"Prince" Baili saw Defang touching his forehead and thought he was hot, so he quickly took out a towel and "wiped his sweat."

Defang looked at Baili, took the towel and paused for a while, seeing Baili staring blankly at him, so he threw the towel on his face again, "Wipe yourself." Then he walked into the palace, and Baili took the towel off Blinking and blinking his eyes, he didn't understand what was going on, Jia Jun walked to the side and took a look and said, "Well, it's time to wipe it off." Then he followed Defang into the room, Baili chased him and said, "Song Jiajun! What should I wipe! What should I wipe! "
