Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

After coming down to court, Defang brought Yiyi to the palace. Zhenzong was very happy. Zhenzong still had no princes. After Yiyi was born, two more princes were born, but they both died young. So Zhenzong put all his hopes In benefiting, he pays special attention to him, and he will be called into the palace every once in a while, which also makes many ministers puzzled.

Zhenzong was very happy holding Yiyi, and Empress Liu also liked Yiyi very much. Defang sat watching and felt a little uneasy. After all, Yiyi is still his prince status at this time. If Zhenzong keeps taking special care of him, it will inevitably be disadvantageous. rumors.

Defang and Yiyi had lunch in the palace and returned to Nanqing Palace. Defang and Yiyi sat in the sedan chair and said to Yiyi, "Yiyi, is it fun in the palace?"

Yiyi nodded, "Well, it's fun"

"How about letting you live in the palace all the time?" Defang asked tentatively

"No, I want the Queen Mother, Yiyi likes Nanqing Palace" Yiyi shook his head

"Father and mother are also reluctant to let you go." Defang hugged Yiyi in her arms, "You will always be the child of father and mother"

Yiyi also hugged Defang, his small head pressed against Defang's body.

Back at the Nanqing Palace, Defang led Yiyi to the main hall. Concubine Di was waiting for them to come back. As soon as she saw Yiyi, she hurried over. Yiyi was very happy to see Concubine Di and called "Mother Queen" and ran over. Di The concubine hugged Yiyi, patted him on the back and asked, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, thank you for your mother's love," Yi Yi said, looking like a little adult, which is very cute

Defang sat on the chair, took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty has given some items to benefit you."

Concubine Di hugged Yiyi and sat on the chair, "We are naturally intelligent and sensible, His Majesty loves it of course."

Defang smiled and nodded. At this time, several officers on horseback came from outside the Nanqing Palace. The leader was a general. Get off your horse, offenders will be severely punished] Get off your horse in front of the stele, hand over the reins to the royal guards, and then go to the gate of the palace and say to the gatekeeper, "Please inform the prince, General Yunhui, Zhao Gui, please see me."

The goalkeeper ran to the main hall to announce, "I want to report to the lord and empress, general Yunhui Zhao Gui asks to see you"

Concubine Di asked Defang: "General Yunhui Zhao Gui? Who is he?"

"He is a general who has just been transferred back to Beijing. He has made outstanding military achievements, and His Majesty appreciates it very much. He is now on a second post in the Ministry of War and is in charge of the training of junior military officers of the Imperial Army. He has a bright future." Defang nodded. He always cherishes the talents of pillars.

"Then why is he coming to see the lord now?" Concubine Di was puzzled, there were quite a few civil and military officials who came to Beijing every year, except for the emperor's protégé who the lord himself took the exam, none of them came to visit the palace after taking office in Beijing.

Defang thought for a while, "The lonely king can't figure it out, I'll find out when we meet later." So she said to the goalkeeper, "Please."

The goalkeeper was ordered to leave, and after a while, Jia Jun brought Zhao Gui and three lieutenants to the main hall, "The last general, Zhao Gui, kowtowed to the lord and empress." Zhao Gui and the three lieutenants knelt down on one knee and said.

"The general doesn't need such a big gift, please hurry up," Defang said

Zhao Gui got up, saw Yi Yi in Di Concubine's arms and said, "See Your Royal Highness"

Yiyi looked at Zhao Gui and said hello, "Hello, General."

"General, please sit down," said Concubine Di

Zhao Gui bowed his hand to "Thank Your Majesty" and the maid served tea, and the three lieutenants stood behind Zhao Gui

Defang looked at Zhao Gui and the other four, "The lonely king heard that General Zhao was very brave on the battlefield. He made many achievements in battle and treated his soldiers like brothers.

"Thank you, Lord, for your approval, but I dare not be the last general." Zhao Gui cupped his hands and said
