Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Brother Huang, I have already started to do it, will you help me?"

"Has Your Majesty ever thought about how the history books will comment on the current events? Xu Mao, who was Emperor Wudi of Liang Dynasty, once said that every conferment of Zen is a good name for the monarch, and the order of the ministers."

Shinzong shook his head, "Is there anything more embarrassing and painful to me than what happened before? Even if it is, I'm not afraid of one more thing."

"Your Majesty, why did Prime Minister Li keep presenting memorials to His Majesty after the Chanyuan Alliance? Only when the king knows the chaos can he be at peace for a long time. He hopes that His Majesty will know that governing the country is not easy, and that His Majesty will not be tempted to think of God because of temporary stability. Doesn’t it show the heart of a loyal minister?”

"If Prime Minister Li is still alive, he will definitely understand me..."

Defang looked at Zhenzong, not knowing how to answer, trying to stop it is now impossible, if you help. . .Knowing that it is a forged heavenly book, do you still want to flatter yourself?This is not the style of the Eight Sage Kings. What should we do? Defang hesitated, Zhenzong turned around and took out an imperial decree, forced it into Defang's hands and said, "Brother Emperor, this is the imperial decree from that year. This imperial decree is like It’s like the throne, and the emperor can show it to the world at any time, and now I return it to you, which proves that I absolutely believe in the emperor.”

"No! Your Majesty! Please take back the decree!" Defang saw the decree like a bolt from the blue, and the past kept pounding his mind, making his heart weak. Defang reached out to hand over the decree to the truth. , but Zhenzong pushed Defang's hand back again, "Brother Huang! Didn't you say that you think I have lost trust in you? I will prove it to you! I am definitely not like that!"

"No, Your Majesty...I don't want to see this decree." Defang tried hard not to think about the past.

"I know that there are things that cannot be resolved in my brother's heart, so why don't I?" Zhenzong held Defang's wrist, "Brother, can't I say these words only to my brother?"

Seeing the decree, Defang seemed a little unsteady, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I feel a little uncomfortable... I want to... go back to my residence..."

Zhenzong looked at Defang and nodded slowly, "Okay, Brother Huang, you need to think about it and go back to rest earlier."

Defang withdrew from the Chongzheng Palace, Zhenzong asked Huangfu Jiming and Zhou Huaizheng to send him to the gate of the palace, Defang stopped in front of the sedan chair, staring at the seal in his hand, Jiajun stepped forward and said, "My lord, are you going back to the palace?"

Defang didn't speak, just kept looking at Fengzhi, and Baili also ran over. Seeing that Defang was a little panicked, he said, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Defang didn't answer, just said "bring the lantern here"

"Yes" Baili took the lantern

"Take out the candle," Defang said again.

Baili looked at Defang, saw that his face was expressionless, he didn't know what happened, so he had to take out the candle, Defang took it, and slowly lit the seal.

"My lord!" Huangfu Jiming and Zhou Huaizheng were shocked, Baili and Song Jiajun were also shocked, Defang actually set the imperial decree on fire, even though they didn't know what the imperial decree was written, but burning the imperial decree is a serious crime.

Defang didn't care about the exclamation of the people around her, she just waited for the imperial decree to burn out, then turned around and said, "Eunuch Zhou and General Huangfu, please inform Your Majesty that the lonely king will come to Chongzheng Palace to meet again."

Zhou Huaizheng and Huangfu Jiming looked at each other, then quickly turned around and went to report again.
