Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

As soon as Defang sat down with Yiyi in his arms, the goalkeeper came to announce, "Report to the lord, Eunuch Zhou from the palace is here."

"See the prince and empress" Zhou Huaizheng visited

"Eunuch Zhou is free of courtesy," Defang said, "Is your Majesty looking for the lonely king for something?"

"Yes, my lord, Your Majesty said that you are invited to discuss matters in the Chongzheng Palace."

"Okay." Defang hugged Yiyi to Concubine Di, "Ma'am, then I will go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit."

"My lord, let's go." Concubine Di nodded.

"Yiyi" Defang touched Yiyi's face, "Father will come back to play with you soon"

"Okay." Yiyi nodded, "Father has to come back early."

"Well, come back early." Defang smiled, "Grandpa Zhou, let's go."

Defang came to the Chongzheng Palace, and the prime minister Wang Dan was also there. Zhenzong said happily, "Brother Huang, it's just in time. I just received a report from the Jian'an Army, saying that it was from the Jade Emperor, Shengzu, Taizu Emperor, and Taizong Emperor." The bronze statue has been cast."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Defang said, "I heard that the new main hall of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace has also been completed, and the bronze statues of the Four Saints can be placed in it for worship."

"Yes, very timely." Zhenzong nodded, "This is a big deal, and I plan to send a special envoy to meet him."

Wang Dan said, "The four sages are gods, as it should be."

"Well," Shinzong said, "I want to take care of the matter of flattery, brother, I want to send a special envoy to go to flatter first, and then let the Ministry of Rites send a ritual band to follow. The day before, I will lead a hundred officials to welcome the Four Sages into the capital, what do you think, brother?"

Defang was very disgusted with this kind of thing, but after the Battle of Chanzhou, Zhenzong began to believe in gods and ghosts, and he was keen on Taoism, and built palaces to burn incense and pay homage. I am getting too lazy to care about these things, as long as it is not something that affects the state system or causes chaos, Defang will not say anything. He also knows that it is useless to say it. It is better to let the emperor go, so he said, "Your Majesty is the king of sages." , I am very thoughtful, I don’t think the Ministry of Rites will be so thorough.”

"Hehehe, brother Huang is right. I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. Prime Minister, let the Ministry of Rites prepare it in a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Wang Dan bowed

Zhenzong started to talk about Taoism again, hearing Defang's head hurt, thinking how good it would be for the lonely king to accompany his wife to enjoy the flowers in the mansion, but he wanted to come here to listen to some incomprehensible words, even the lunch hour was over , but if you don't listen, you can't do it. What reason should you find to leave?Defang thought for a while, so he found a space and said, "Your Majesty, this time you welcome the Four Sages, you will be blessed by the heavens. .”

"What the emperor said is that I have really spent a long time on this matter, thinking that I can make this matter grand and grand."

"Your Majesty's dragon body is very important to the family and the country. Don't overwork yourself. By the way, Your Majesty, I have read a lot of books recently, but I always say that there are no good stories in the books of the palace. Today I heard that the minister entered the palace. Let’s borrow a few from the emperor’s uncle and bring them back.”

"Oh? You said it? Hahahaha" Zhenzong was very happy when he heard the name of Yiyi. I haven't seen Yiyi for a long time, Brother Huang, let's bring Yiyi into the palace tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Defang bowed, "Recently, Yiyi has to eat several meals a day."
