Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di looked at Defang, and Defang said, "Ma'am, you must listen to what the national players say, otherwise the lonely king won't take the medicine anymore, so let's suffer with Madam."

Concubine Di nodded, "The prince also needs to eat some."

"Madam will eat it if I eat it." Defang smiled, "National player, that's hard work for you."

"This is the job of a subordinate official. If you don't dare to call it hard work, then the subordinate official will go to the pharmacy first."

"National player" Defang said, "You have to tell Ling'er more, this kid runs left and right every day, he really can't stand it for a moment."

"Yes, the lower official will tell the princess well."

"Thank you, national players please."

"Yes" Jin Shangde cupped his hands and withdrew, Concubine Di smiled and said, "My lord, Ling'er is being taken care of by servant Xiaojiang and maidservant Meijia, besides, Weixi will also watch her."

"Madam, our daughter, don't you know that Xiaojiang and Meijia can't see Ling'er?" Defang pointed at the door, "just like Baili and Ke'er can't see me and my wife."

"It is reasonable for the prince to say so."

"Weixi is not always in the mansion, who can watch Ling'er, who cares if we don't."

"Yes." Concubine Di nodded, and rolled up the picture on the table, "My lord, don't look at it, it will only add to the sadness, my concubine can help you put it away."

"Ma'am, let me come." Defang put the painting on the shelf and said, "I will burn it for my sister on her death day."

"My lord, don't be too sad."

Defang nodded, and helped Concubine Di, "Madam is not recovering, so go back to the room and lie down."

"Is the prince going back to the dormitory?"

"Go back, being with Madam is the most important thing." Defang hugged Concubine Di's arms, wrapped her in thick clothes and went back to the dormitory. The two had a conversation with stewed soup before going to bed.

A few days later, Zhenzong summoned Defang, Zuo Pushe Lu Mengzheng, and Zhang Qixian, Minister of the Ministry of War, in the Changchun Palace where the affairs were discussed on weekdays. The four discussed the replenishment and deployment of Beiguan soldiers. Brother Xu Jintang and Xu Jintang asked to see him outside the main hall."

"Why are they again!" Zhenzong was very upset, "No see!"

"Your Majesty," Defang said, "they have repeatedly entered the palace to make noise, which is really disrespectful to the royal family. I will teach them a lesson."

"Brother Huang, both Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng are money-grubbing people, and they won't listen to a word of it when they are taught. They are not convinced even if I come forward to reconcile them."

"Your Majesty, they are only relatives and should not be tolerated. It is better for the minister to handle them."

"Brother Huang, it's really difficult to deal with the matter of this foreign relative, let alone the matter of this family property. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will continue to make trouble."

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in "The Analects of Confucius-Li Ren": A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, a villain is a metaphor for profit, and selfishness does not care about brotherhood. This trend cannot last. If they do not think of the emperor's favor, then the minister will beat them to death with a mace. See Who dares to refuse."

"Prince" Zhang Qixian said, "This matter is not so serious."

"My lord Zhang, these two people have entered the palace many times to fight and fight, and even refused to accept His Majesty's words. This is simply ignoring His Majesty. Isn't this a big deal?"

Zhenzong sighed, "I don't want to take care of it anymore, this matter should be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for trial."

"Your Majesty" Zhang Qixian cupped his hands and said, "I request you to hear this case."

"Zhang Aiqing is going to trial?" Zhenzong looked at Zhang Qixian, "Are you sure?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult. Since they are unwilling to comply with the judgment and His Majesty's reconciliation, it is better to let them get what they want."
