Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Yiyi looked at Defang and Concubine Di, still didn't understand these things, but felt that he would leave, so he said, "The child will always be in the palace to accompany his father and queen mother, and will not go anywhere" and hugged Concubine Di's neck

Concubine Di patted Yiyi on the back, "Well, Yiyi doesn't go anywhere, a good child of the queen mother"

Defang looked at benefit and fell into deep thought.

[next day]

In the early court, the ministers played this book one by one to discuss the state affairs, and after Zhenzong replied, he asked, "Do you still have the book?"

At this time, no one made a sound, Zhenzong nodded, and then said, "Yesterday, I called the children of various clans to come to the palace, tested some of their lessons, and found that there are indeed many people with real talents and real learning. I am very pleased." "

Second Prime Minister Ding said that "the sons and daughters of the clan have both talents and learning, which is really a blessing of the Song Dynasty."

Zhenzong nodded, "Yes, I am going to give these children jobs, let them learn more, and become the ministers of the Song Dynasty in the future."

"Your Majesty considers the long-term, and the national fortune of the Song Dynasty will be more prosperous," Ding Wei flattered

Defang sat on the side, as usual, not saying much.

Shinzong went on to say, "The decree will be issued today, just wait in the mansions of the clan, and" Zhenzong looked at the ministers, "I have been on the throne for nearly nineteen years, and I am nearly fifty years old. I still have no son under my knees, so for the sake of the country, I have to wait." Jiangshan, decided to choose a young son from the clan to adopt to my knees."

At this time, there were some voices of discussion among the ministers, and Cheng Ruizhao, the Minister of the Household Department, said, "Your Majesty is in his prime of life, and there will be good news from the harem."

"I have waited for nineteen years, and now I have nothing to worry about. The selection of the clan's children is also for the sake of the clan"

Tu Sanshe, Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Laolun faction, said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty must pass on the orthodoxy of the royal family."

Speaking of this, both Zhenzong and Defang were a little unhappy. What Zhenzong thought was, according to what you said, wouldn’t it be possible for me to recall my son, while Defang thought, are all other clans not royal orthodox except for the emperor? ?How dare you say such a thing if I, the son of the grand ancestor, is still sitting here.

Shinzong first said, "Does Lord Tu mean that the members of the clan are not royal orthodox?"

Tu Sanshe didn't understand yet, but still said, "Your Majesty is the first emperor's son, and his ascension to the throne is in accordance with the way of heaven. Now it is orthodox to regard your majesty's own son as the master of the country."

Zhenzong looked at Tu Sanshe, "Tu Sanshe, with your words, I can punish your serious crime!"

Tu Sanshe panicked, "Your Majesty, why?"

Prime Minister Wang Dan stepped forward and said, "Master Tu, what you said just now is a rebellious statement. Thinking of me, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, I have both martial arts and martial arts. Although I have two princes by my side, I still want to protect the country and the country. According to Lord Tu's words, what is the meaning of making the first emperor the great position?"

Only then did Tu Sanshe come to his senses, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I dare not"

Defang also looked at Tu Sanshe, "Tu Shilang, even if the lonely king, the son of the great ancestor, is not orthodox, aren't the princes sitting in the hall at this moment, His Majesty's relatives, not orthodox?"

When General Yunhui Zhao Gui heard what Defang said, he was also indignant, stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Tu Sanshe, "Tu Shilang, you are so courageous, you actually belittled the clan prince and mirrored the late emperor, this is an unforgivable crime!"

At this time, Ji Wang Yi Wang and other princes were also very dissatisfied, and asked Zhenzong to punish Tu Sanshe for the crime.

Zhenzong was also furious at this time, dismissed Tu Sanshe's position as a servant, demoted him to a doctor of Chinese medicine, and made him work in a border town.

Zhenzong looked at the ministers, "I have decided so. I watched the children of the various houses yesterday. I only appreciate the benefits of the youngest son of the Eight Sage Kings. This son is extremely intelligent, pure and generous, and he is very polite. The queen also feels that he has benefited a lot." It was a good match, so I decided to temporarily choose this son to adopt." Zhenzong saw that the officials were silent, so he said, "Yiyi is the son of the eight sage kings, that is, the grandson of the emperor Taizu, with royal blood. I believe the ministers have no objections."

The ministers of "Your Majesty Shengming" dare not say anything at this time, they can only echo

"Your Majesty's grace is here, and the ministers benefit from it." Defang said

Zhenzong nodded and said, "Yiyi is just six years old, I will not call him into the palace for the time being, and will still keep him in the palace, and I will take care of you, Brother Lao."

"Subordinate to the order"

Zhenzong said to Ding Wei, "Ding Shenzhi drafted the decree for me"

Ding said that he "waited for the order"

"The youngest son of the eight virtuous kings, Zhao Yiyi, is currently appointed as the king of Shouchun County. He lives in the city of Zengshi. He still lives in the Nanqing Palace. He teaches in Zishan Hall for two days a month. Zhang Shixun and Cui Zundu are friends of the county king. They enter the palace every three days to serve him. Lecture reading."

After the court, Ding Wei returned to the palace with Defang and read out the imperial decree. The third division sent the county king's clothes. Yiyi wore them and went to the palace to thank Zhenzong. Zhenzong and Empress Liu were very happy and often called Yiyi into the palace. Defang's other descendants They were also promoted to official positions.
