Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, Brother Wang." The four of them sat aside, and Defang still sat on the chair with his eyes closed, but after a while, he felt some jumping pain in his legs, and something was wrong with his abdomen. Defang frowned and endured the pain. After a long time, the pain gradually eased. Defang exhaled lightly, picked up the tea bowl and wanted to drink some tea, but her hands trembled slightly. Defang felt something was wrong and thought: What's going on? ?Is it really a relapse of an old injury?I hope there will be no more pain in the morning, and I will go back to the house quickly.

At this time Kou Zhun came over, "My lord, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?"

"I want you to take care of it, there are so many things." Defang took a sip of tea, "The lonely king just feels hot."

"My lord, I care about you"

Defang smiled, "Prime Minister Kou just doesn't make trouble for the lonely king, hehehe"

"My lord, I'm serious, your complexion is not very good, did you not sleep well?"

"Really? Maybe." Defang rubbed her temples, "Maybe I've been reading for too long."

"How about Kou give you a shoulder squeeze?" Kou Zhun said

"No, no, the lonely king can't bear it." Defang shook his hand, "How can a dignified prime minister do such a thing, sit down, and go to court soon, the lonely king happens to have something to ask you."

Kou Zhun sat beside him and asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"

"Isn't the Liao Kingdom going to set up a new discussion field? Your Majesty means that I will set up some more in the Song Dynasty. I don't know if the prime minister has made arrangements?"

"Yes, my lord, what I mean is that the opening of the market in Xiongzhou, Bazhou, and Ansu Army can be used for merchants and trade matters, and secondly, officials and a small number of soldiers can be stationed to maintain order. To prevent further disputes between Song and Liao."

"That's very good." Defang nodded, "The Liao Kingdom set up a trading place in the Zhenwu Army. It mainly exchanged sheep and furs for silk from the southern part of the Song Dynasty. This can be said to be mutually beneficial. Now the prime minister wants to add three more trading places. In this way, the border trade between the two countries is bound to be more prosperous."

"Yes, my lord." Kou Zhun nodded, "This time, the establishment of a discussion field on the border requires strengthening management in many places, so the truth is that the Ministry of Officials will send officials to preside over it."

"Gu Wang just wanted to ask, which adult is the Prime Minister going to choose to supervise?"

"It's the prince's man," Kou Zhun said with a smile

"What? Someone from the lonely king?" Defang was puzzled, "Who?"

"His Royal Highness"

"You mean Weixu?"

"Yes, my lord"

"Why did the prime minister choose Wei Xu to go there? There are still many senior ministers in the Ministry of Officials."

"I think, firstly, the prince has a good relationship with Brother Yelu from the Liao Kingdom, and it is very suitable to supervise this matter. Even if there is something, I will not make things difficult for the Liao Kingdom. Secondly, His Royal Highness is a member of the royal family, which can reflect My Great Song attaches great importance and sincerity to this matter. Three times, Your Highness treats people peacefully, handles things cautiously, has no bad habits in officialdom, and will definitely get a lot of assistance from generals when he arrives at the border."

Defang nodded upon hearing this, "What the prime minister said is reasonable, but after all, Wei Xu has not dealt with similar matters, and the prime minister should send sages to go with him."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, I have already thought about this matter."

At this time, Zhou Huaizheng, the deputy head of the internal servants, came to "My lords, my lords, please go to the palace."

Everyone went to the temple to pay homage, and Zhenzong also discussed with the ministers about setting up a forum. He was very satisfied after listening to Kou Zhun's arrangement. Invitation letter from the lord of the country, next month is the birthday of the mother of the Liao Kingdom, and they want to invite me, the eight sage kings of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhenzong said this and looked at Defang, "Brother, it seems that this trip must be recommended by Brother Yelu." Before he finished speaking, Zhenzong stopped. He looked at Defang next to him, and was suddenly surprised, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"
