Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang nodded after listening to this, at least confirming that Zhenzong himself did the Tianshu, so he helped Wang Dan up and said, "Prime Minister, the lonely king felt that this matter was strange from the very beginning, and he had already guessed seven or eight points. I understand that the lonely king will definitely have doubts about this matter, but it is not easy for the lonely king to ask His Majesty explicitly, so I can only ask the prime minister to clarify."

"My lord...my minister..."

"The lonely king knows that the prime minister is in trouble, but this is the case, and it is impossible to change it. The lonely king just wants to know the cause and effect. The prime minister is at ease. When your majesty asks, you will say that the lonely king forced you to say it. If there are other matters, the lonely king will take care of himself, and will never implicate the prime minister."

Wang Dan looked at Defang, and knew that he couldn't hide, so it was fine to say it, anyway, it was a matter of time before Defang knew it, so he confessed that last year, in order to show his merits, Wang Qinruo spoke to Zhenzong, saying The Chanzhou alliance is an alliance under the city, and it will be regarded as a shame by later generations. If you want to wash away the shame, the best way is to let Zhenzong drive himself to take back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Zhenzong knew that this was impossible, so he said that the people at the border Just settled down, and couldn't bear to let them go through the flames of war again, so he asked Wang Qinruo if there was any other way. Wang Qinruo said, now that the world is peaceful, it is not easy for the emperor to do great things. If he wants to improve the emperor's prestige in a short time, he must confer Zen And Feng Chan is generally done because the monarch has made great meritorious deeds. If there is no great meritorious service, it must be because of the rare "Tianrui" event. You can have it if you think about it, and the so-called auspicious omens in the past dynasties are all man-made. Will anyone believe me if I do this?Wang Qinruo expected Zhenzong's concerns, so he made it clear that the auspiciousness from the sky is a sign of great auspiciousness. As long as His Majesty firmly believes in it and solemnly announces it to the world, then no one in the world will dare to question it. Wang Ruoqin is still hesitating when he sees Zhenzong , So he said again, does the emperor think that He's published a picture and Luo's published a book is credible?These are nothing more than saints teaching the people with divine ways. Why don't your majesty follow suit?So Zhenzong acquiesced, but asked, can the Baxian King and Prime Minister Wang Dan agree?Wang Qinruo said that he would go with Wang Dan to convey the meaning of His Majesty, while the Baxian King asked Zhenzong to deal with it.

Defang smiled upon hearing this, "So, your Majesty will still talk to the lonely king sooner or later, but I don't know how Wang Qin mentioned this to the prime minister? The lonely king should be prepared."

"Back to the lord, Wang Qinruo said that this is what His Majesty meant. Although I am not very willing, but... I have to obey."

"What Prime Minister Wang said is that His Majesty has made up his mind, and it is impossible to change it, and there is nothing he can do to agree."

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding."

"What is the prime minister saying? What can I do as a courtier? When His Majesty and the lonely king explain these things, the lonely king can only obey."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty told the minister in advance about this matter, but I don't know why he didn't tell him in advance."

"Your Majesty knows that if you tell the lonely king in advance, the lonely king will definitely object. Now that this matter has come out, even if the lonely king is unwilling, he can't say anything. Moreover, today the lonely king followed his majesty to see the book with his own eyes. How can he still stand up?" Come out and say it's fake?"

"My lord...my minister..."

"Prime Minister, is there anything unspeakable?"

"Prince, in fact, the old minister agreed to this matter because... because the minister accepted His Majesty's belongings."

"Oh? What did His Majesty give you? It made the prime minister so hard to say."
