Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

As soon as Defang brought Weixu to the stable, the goalkeeper ran over, "My lord! The third division is here!"

"Third Division? What's the matter?"

"It's an order to Baili."

Defang looked at Baili, "It's so fast, Baili, let's go and get the dispatch order."

Defang brought Baili to the front of the mansion, watched him receive the dispatch order and the chief manager's hat, Baili put it on, kowtowed to Defang and Concubine Di in the main hall, and then walked outside the hall. Standing at the bottom of the steps, the steward clasped his hands and saluted Baili, "See Chief Manager Baili!" Baili bowed his hands and saluted with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Defang got up to go to court early, and Baili dressed him. Defang looked at him, "Baili, you are the chief executive, let someone else take care of you."

"That can't be done, the young one will serve the prince for the rest of his life, Baili can't worry about others."

"Hehehe, yes, I am not used to it without you."

Defang entered the palace in a sedan chair, got out of the sedan chair and looked at Baili, "What's wrong with you?"

"My lord..." Baili clutched his stomach, "Little one... I'm a little upset..."

"Tummy trouble? What did you eat?"

"Maybe I drank cold water..."

"If you don't drink hot tea or cold water, you won't have a stomachache. When you go back, I will have someone make some rock tea for you. Just drink it."

"My lord, that's tribute tea, small...not worthy of drinking..."

"Stomach hurts and you still talk so much." Defang suddenly leaned closer and listened. "What's the sound? Squeaky"

"There is no sound, there is no sound, ouch! My lord... the little one is dying, it hurts..."

"Then you go to the toilet as soon as possible, and the king can go to the imperial court by himself."

"Thank you, my lord... Whoops..." Baili trotted to the latrine, and after facing down, Baili bent over to follow Defang, and Defang looked at him, "Does it still hurt?"

"A little more..."

"I still have to go back, can you?"

"Okay, okay, the small ones can persevere."

"It's different when you become the chief executive, hehehe." Defang returned to the mansion, sat in the main hall and talked with Concubine Di, and the goalkeeper ran in. "My lord, the prince from the palace is here."

"Wang Ji'en? Please." Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Ma'am, why is he here? Shouldn't it... have you heard about the emperor's calendar?"

"Impossible. Huang Xiao and Tao Lin knew how serious the incident was, so they wouldn't say a single word. Besides, it wouldn't spread so quickly."

"It's not good for him to come anyway." Defang sighed, "I don't know what to do again."

After a while Wang Jien walked into the main hall, Defang saw that he was holding the imperial badge in his hand, so he stood up and asked, "My lord, but is there something you want to do with your Majesty?"

"There is indeed something"

"Dare to ask Eunuch, why do you need Eunuch to personally come to Nanqing Palace with an order?"

"Today, it's not just a servant holding orders alone, His Majesty sent 50 people to each mansion holding orders at the same time."

"Fifty people? Father-in-law, what happened?"

Wang Jien held up a token, "Your Majesty has an order to check the imperial calendar of each mansion."

Concubine Defang Di was stunned when she heard these two words, Wang Jien looked at them, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please order someone to take out all the imperial calendars bestowed by His Majesty since he ascended the throne, and this servant will check it."

"Eunuch...check...check what?"

"The imperial calendar is bestowed by His Majesty, so it is necessary to keep it well. Needless to say, the new calendar, the previous year's imperial calendar must be properly stored. If it is damaged..." Wang Jien looked at Defang, "That is not a small matter, it is a gift from Your Majesty Can such an official be loyal to His Majesty with all his heart?"
