Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Zhao Gui, "But I don't know why General Zhao came to Nanqing Palace, is there something wrong?"

"Return to the lord, the last general has come to report to the lord," Zhao Gui said

Defang was taken aback, "Return?" Defang looked at Concubine Di, puzzled, and asked, "What does the general mean by this? The lonely king doesn't quite understand."

Zhao Gui stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has the grace to save the general. Back then, because of the words of the Majesty, he encouraged the general to protect his family and defend the country. Today, he has achieved success. Therefore, the first thing he did when he was transferred back to Beijing was to come here." See you, my lord"

Defang thought for a while, and then looked at Zhao Gui, "The grace of saving lives? The lonely king doesn't remember who he saved. Did the general recognize the wrong person?"

"How can the last general recognize the wrong savior, let alone His Royal Highness?" Zhao Gui looked up at Defang, "My lord, 12 years ago, during the Battle of Chanzhou City, the lord personally participated in the battle, and even blocked many arrows for the last general. When the general was feeding water, he said that the general will become an officer in the future, and that the wounds on his body are a symbol of bravery. The prince once told the general that Chen Sheng once said: princes and generals have kindness. Later, the sergeant told you the second prince The news that His Highness was injured, the prince took him away, but the general has always kept the prince's words in his heart, and has never forgotten it for many years. I remember that the prince said that he hoped to see the general in uniform one day. Today, the general is really dressed. General, so I have come here to report to the lord." Then he knelt down on one knee.

Defang was a little surprised, and then recalled what happened in Chanzhou City, and suddenly remembered the crying face of a 20-year-old soldier, and gradually thought of some words. At that time, it was also because Weixian was injured. In one scene, he looked at Zhao Gui in front of him, slowly stood up, walked to Zhao Gui, helped him up, and looked at his face. After more than ten years of military service, his face was a bit vicissitudes. Defang nodded, "Yes, Zhao Gui." The lonely king remembered." Defang looked Zhao Gui up and down, "General Zhao has indeed become a member of my Great Song Dynasty" and then patted his arm, "Well, it's very strong, hahaha"

Zhao Gui smiled, "Thank you, my lord! The general will live up to my lord's high hopes."

"Okay! The lonely king really saw you standing in front of him in general uniform. General Zhao is really young and promising."

"I respect the benevolence of the lord, and this life belongs to the lord. I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord, and I will not hesitate to do so."

"General Zhao is serious. The general's life is his own. He should fight for the Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty." Defang smiled, "The lonely king is very happy today. Later, the lonely king will prepare a table of food and wine, and share with General Zhao and several others." The lieutenant will drink to each other"

"The last general thank you for your great love." Zhao Gui turned around and called three lieutenants and said to De Fang, "My lord, they were also soldiers in Chanzhou City. They followed me these years and made a lot of military exploits. I saw the lord personally participate in the battle. , are all admired, and knowing that the end will be greatly favored by the prince, they are all willing to serve the prince."

The three of them stepped forward, "See the lord for humble ranks"

Defang looked at the three of them and nodded, "Okay, in the Battle of Chanzhou, you all contributed to the country, and now you are returning to Beijing to serve. I hope you will do your best to assist General Zhao and be loyal to the Song Dynasty and His Majesty."

"Yes, I would like to obey the order of the prince." The three handed each other

At this time, Yiyi ran over to support Zhao Gui's general uniform, "The general is really powerful."

Zhao Gui knelt down on one knee and watched the benefit, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment"

Yiyi touched Zhao Gui's shoulder armor, "The general defended the Song Dynasty. He has made many achievements and is a loyal minister and good general."

Zhao Gui was very surprised when he heard Yiyi's words, "It is the duty of the last general to be loyal to the country, and he dare not take credit for it. His Royal Highness is very intelligent, and he will become a great talent in the Song Dynasty in the future."

Yiyi smiled and ran to Defang. Defang stroked Yiyi's little head. Zhao Gui got up and said, "Your Highness is so smart, you are so lucky."

Concubine Di came over and hugged the beneficiary, "What the general said is true"

Defang smiled and nodded. In the evening, Defang had a drink with Zhao Gui and the three lieutenants and chatted a lot.
