Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Zhenzong nodded, "Brother Huang has a heart. In the past, Brother Huang often left for a while, and then benefited and shouted to find his father. So what does Brother Huang plan to say today?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have made arrangements, please, Your Majesty"

When the two came to the garden, Yiyi ran over when he saw that it was Defang. When he saw Zhenzong was also beside him, he saluted respectfully, "Yiyi kowtowed to the emperor's uncle, long live long live."

"Yiyi, get up quickly." Zhenzong bent down to help him up, and then hugged him up. "Yiyi, Uncle Huang hasn't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much, do you miss Uncle Huang?"

Yiyi looked at Defang, and then replied, "Father said that the emperor's uncle works hard for state affairs every day. Yiyi asks the emperor's uncle to rest more and take care of the dragon body."

"Thank you for benefiting." Zhenzong nodded when he heard this. "Brother Huang, benefiting is really smart, like a little adult."

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. He is often allowed to study in the palace and bestowed with books, so that he can benefit today."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, the books my father brought back are all beautiful," said Yiyi

"Okay, Uncle Huang will give you a few more books later, and let your father read them to you when you go back."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

Seeing this, Defang said, "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom are still waiting for the ministers. I will go talk to them about some matters first. When you come back later, please take care of your majesty if you benefit from it."

Hearing this, Zhenzong understood that Defang was looking for a reason to leave, so he nodded, "Brother Huang devoted himself to state affairs, I am very pleased, don't be too tired."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Defang raised his head and said, "Yie, the father still has something to do, so I will come back later to pick you up. Don't play around with the emperor's uncle, or the father will spank you when you return to the mansion."

"Yes, father, the child will not make trouble, father must return early."

"Father will come back after finishing his work. You have to listen to the emperor's uncle, remember?"

"My child remembers." Yiyi nodded

After Defang retired, Zhenzong and Yiyi played together for a long time, making out all kinds of delicious and fun things. Because Yiyi heard Defang said that he wanted to make this tired emperor happy, so he recited poems for Zhenzong when he was young. Zhenzong said everything he said was good, which made Zhenzong very happy. In the evening, Defang came to accept the benefits. Zhenzong was very reluctant, and kept Defang to eat with him, and rewarded some objects, and then let them go back to the mansion .

Concubine Di waited impatiently, as soon as she heard that Defang was returning to the mansion, she hurried out of the room, and when Yi Yi saw Concubine Di, she ran over, "Mother Queen!"

"Yieyi" Concubine Di hugged Yiyi, "My lord, why did you come back so late? The concubine waited for a long time for dinner."

"I'm really sorry Ma'am, I forgot to ask someone to bring the message back to the house, let's talk in the room first."

Back in the house, Defang asked someone to bathe Yiyi first, and then said to Concubine Di, "Your Majesty wanted to be alone with Yiyi for a while, so I found an excuse and left. The lonely king also had nothing to do in the palace, and wandered around for a long time." .”

"You don't think it's wrong to benefit, do you?"

"Should not be. I mean, I have something to deal with. Let him stay with His Majesty later."

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "Have you noticed that every time you go to the palace, the benefits become more and more inseparable from us? I always ask if I still need to go to the palace today? Can you let the father take him only for a while?" come back or something."

"Really? Hey... It's really embarrassing for this child." Defang shook his head, "Your Majesty's heart, I think Madam can understand best. Although the child is here, we can't see each other every day. Seeing him so close to you and me, we take one bite at a time. His Majesty is indeed unhappy with the queen father and queen mother."

"Then... what do we do now?"

"Ma'am, the benefits are still young, and it is human nature to be inseparable from his parents. He will be fine when he grows up."

"My lord...the concubines don't want to benefit..."

"Madam's heart, I understand that I am not like this. Since Yiyi came to the mansion, he is like you and me. After leaving the palace, we are still his father and mother.”

"The concubine hopes...that day will arrive later..."

"Madam" Defang hugged Concubine Di, "Don't think too much, we won't lose the benefit."

The next day, Prime Minister Wang Dan went to Yingtian Mansion as a welcome envoy. A few days later, Wang Dan and others returned to Beijing with the bronze statues of the Four Sages. Civil and military officials greeted them at the gate of the city. The common people rushed to watch, and the next day, Zhenzong personally presided over the welcome ceremony, and went to Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing to pay homage in front of the bronze statues of the four saints.

Because the name of the holy ancestor was Zhao Xuanlang, Zhenzong ordered the subjects to forbid the taboos. However, when Confucius was enshrined in the Chan dynasty, he once named Confucius the Xuansheng King of Wenxuan.

Because the ancestor was the Yellow Emperor in his previous life, all the places where the emperor's temple was built will be rebuilt with special funds. Zhenzong also ordered that future articles are not allowed to casually mention the name and story of the Yellow Emperor, and all references to the classics involving the Yellow Emperor are empty. .
