Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty has heard from the History Museum that there are still some omissions in the actual record, so we should re-record the story of Taizu's holiness."

"Re-recording the matter of holiness? The late emperor personally participated in the compilation of "Taizu Shilu". At that time, Uncle Wang was still alive, and all the generals were in Beijing. The things written by all the people were compiled. How could there be any omissions? Besides, When did the officials of the History Museum become officials?" Defang smiled disdainfully, "How much do they know about the Taizu, I am afraid that some people will make a fuss about my royal family for their own merits."

"I heard..." Wang Dan lowered his voice again, "It's about the oath of the Golden Chamber..."

Defang understood as soon as he heard it. Zhenzong also knew a lot about what happened back then. He thought it was a slanderous minister and flattered him. He mentioned this matter again. At this time, Zhenzong's princes are all dead. He is also worried about losing the throne, so he intends to use this to withdraw the memorabilia. After re-editing it, he said, "The lonely king understands, Prime Minister, Wang Qinruo will also participate in the compilation this time, right?"

"We can't do without him."

Defang snorted, "Of course he has to participate in such a great achievement. If Wang Qinruo is so smart, no one will be able to compete with him for the first achievement."

"My lord, will you dissuade His Majesty from taking back the "Taizu Shilu"?"

Defang shook his head, "This is a useless move. Your Majesty's heart is here. What can the lonely king do if he dissuades you?"

"My lord, is there any need for an old minister?"

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Defang sighed, holding the golden mace and the imperial decree in his hand, and said, "The past is over, why bother to mention it, now the lonely king has more important things to do, this is really for the sake of the people of the country, too. The Emperor Zu will also be pleased."

Wang Dan looked at Defang, then looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, I will."

After leaving the palace, Defang went to Qian Weijun's mansion to announce his decree to visit, and then rushed to the third division to arrange Changping warehouse to purchase soybeans and wheat.Arrested six people who bought and hoarded in large quantities, confiscated all soybeans and wheat, and fined [-] yuan in silver, and imprisoned for five days as a punishment.

In September, the imperial court issued an edict to take back the "Records of Taizu" in the official's home and hand it over to the embassy for reconstruction, and it is not allowed to hide it privately.

In the same month, in the Nanqing Palace, Defang discussed with Nangong Wen and his third son Wei Neng about collecting surplus grain in the study room. Baili leaned against the door and taught Bai Xiaopeng. Someone is coming."

Baili looked at Jiajun, "The prince is talking with the prince and Nangong, who is here?"

"Eunuch Zhou"

"Could it be His Majesty who invited the prince into the palace for tea again? Just tell him, the prince... has been busy for a while and is resting now."

"It's important to say it."

"Didn't your majesty invite the prince to say something important?" Baili stretched out his arms, "General Song, can you just find a reason to decline, don't always ask me every time."

"I'm too lazy to ask you." Jia Jun still said with a blank expression, "Hurry up and report."

"Why are you so stubborn? I've said it all. The prince is resting."

"Eunuch Zhou said that the Liao envoy has already entered Beijing."

"Isn't there someone to receive the Liao envoy when he came to Beijing?"

"This time it was the envoy sent by Han Derang. Eunuch Zhou said that the envoy had made a request. His Majesty was very embarrassed and didn't know how to make a decision. Therefore, the prince, the prime minister, and the privy envoys were invited to enter the palace to discuss."

"Yo! General Song, you have said a long word." Baili smiled

Jia Jun took a step forward, "Are you going to report or not!"

Baili pushed Jiajun, "What are you doing? No matter how loud you yell, I'm not afraid of you. I'm Baili... ouch"

Seeing that Baili straightened up suddenly, Jiajun and Xiaopeng looked back, only to see that Defang had already opened the door, holding Baili's back and saying, "How are you, chief executive Baili?"
