Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty, the prince burned the imperial decree just now when he left the palace gate!"

"Burn?" Zhenzong looked at Zhou Huaizheng, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the guards and the palanquin team of Nanqing Palace saw it, and the prince burned it without even looking at it."

"Then... he went back?" Zhenzong asked

"No, the prince said to inform His Majesty that he still wants to see you."

Zhenzong nodded with a smile when he heard this, Zhou Huaizheng withdrew and summoned again, Zhenzong went to the bookshelf and took another box, after opening it, there was also a seal inside, Zhenzong said to himself, "Brother Emperor, you are indeed the most trustworthy person It turns out that the so-called decree that Zhenzong gave to Defang was empty at all, and nothing was written. Zhenzong's move was just to test Defang's attitude, to see if he wanted to help him complete the Fengchan.

Defang entered the Chongzheng Hall again. Huangfu Jiming and Zhou Huaizheng closed the door and retreated fifty steps away. Only Zhenzong and Defang were left in the Chongzheng Hall. Zhenzong took a glass of wine and gave it to Defang. You can't bear me to drink alone, so why don't you come back to accompany me?"

"I once said that I want to protect His Majesty, how could I leave halfway?"

"Then... has the emperor made a decision?"

Defang took a deep breath and said with great determination, "I will follow His Majesty's holy will. No matter what happens, I will protect Your Majesty."

"Emperor brother" Zhenzong held Defang's wrist, "I knew it, you are the person I trust the most."

De Fang cupped his hands and bowed, "Your majesty is for the Song Dynasty. Please be at ease, your majesty. I will never let your majesty have trouble."

"Brother Huang! Come!" Zhenzong raised his wine glass, Defang nodded with a smile, the two drank it, Zhenzong was very happy, and the two drank together until Yinshi, Zhenzong ordered people to remove the wine and dishes, and served refreshments "Brother Huang, In another hour, it will be early, brother Huang and I will go together."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Defang bowed

"Brother Huang is here, I don't have anything to worry about anymore." Zhenzong smiled, "Brother Huang, as long as this is done, my heart disease will be cured, hehehe"

"I hope so, and I hope His Majesty can achieve what he wishes, so that our Song Dynasty will enjoy long-term peace and prosperity, and the country's fortune will prosper."

"Yes, yes." Zhenzong nodded happily, then approached Defang and said, "Brother Huang, there will be a second heavenly book in the Gongde Pavilion. In the early court, I need the help of Brother Huang."

Defang thought, you are too fast, the lonely king just agreed, and you pushed the lonely king directly, but you can't refuse, so you can only say, "I will do everything according to your majesty's wishes."

In the early court at Maoshi, the officials stood in the court hall. Zhenzong and Defang walked out together. The officials saw this and looked at each other. I don’t know why Defang also came out early today, and he came out with Zhenzong. Zhenzong sat on the dragon chair and the officials saluted , Defang gave the seat to the left, and Zhenzong said, "My dear friends, I was very happy to hear that the eight virtuous kings had recovered from ailments yesterday, so I called the virtuous kings to have a drink in the Chongzheng Hall. I asked someone to check and found that it came from the Gongde Pavilion, I wanted to go and have a look, but the Xian Wang was afraid that something would happen to me, so he took someone to check it himself, unexpectedly found a second copy of the heavenly book in the Gongde Pavilion."
