Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang nodded, "One year after he returned to Beijing, the late emperor suddenly summoned him and his four sons to practice martial arts in the palace. General Huyan was very happy, and he and the children put on armor and sabers and performed for the late emperor in the palace. , but his movements were still clean and tidy, without showing any signs of fatigue. The late emperor appreciated it very much. General Huyan thought that the late emperor would allow him to fight, but the late emperor only gave him a gold and silver belt generously. For this reason, General Huyan was lonely for a long time. "

"I'm looking forward to it, but it doesn't come true. It's really uncomfortable."

"So he drank until he was drunk every day after he went to court, and lost his temper when things went wrong. I know that this is caused by depression in his heart. He has no ambitions and no use for his weapons. General Huyan has been fighting all his life. This kind of life that ordinary people think of as enjoyment is like suffering for him.” Defang sighed, “Although General Huyan is more than [-] years older than me, he has always been respectful and polite to me, no matter what others say Looking at General Huyan, he has always been the most admired general and best friend of the Gu Wang."

Concubine Di held De Fang's hand, "My lord, at least you are still here, let him read and write, accompany him to shoot and hunt, and often invite him to the mansion to chat and laugh. If it weren't for this, General Huyan would have been bored."

"I will never see this kind of day again in the future." Defang supported the wooden railing with one hand, looked at the quiet lake, tears in his eyes, and did not say a word for a long time.

A few days later, the third division and the Ministry of Rites convened the guard of honor and guards for a drill. Hu Yanzan came to the school field with two iron festival whips on his back, "Guys, how are you practicing today? What are you going to do?"

"General Huyan, you don't need to do anything, just watch."

"Look? No way! The general is ordered by the emperor to guard the body and guards. What should I do if I don't do anything!"

"But. You just need to let the Imperial Guard guard it. There is really nothing to do now."

"That's it! The guard of honor is leaving, and I will bring the guards with me, so I have something to do."

"General Huyan, today is actually a rehearsal for the guard of honor, and the guards just need to stand in their positions." The official pointed at the imperial guards, "Look, they have already arranged where they stand. You just need to see if the number of people is right that day. It'll be fine."

"Number of people? Do you want to count? What if you can't count?"

"What's the use of the general, you just need to send the number of people."

"After talking for a long time, I still have nothing to do with this general! Hey! Do you guys deliberately not do things for this general!"

"No, no, General, you misunderstood."

"General Huyan" Defang walked over, "What's the matter?"

"My lord!" Hu Yanzan ran in front of Defang, "They practiced today, but only let the old officials watch!"

"It doesn't look good."

"My lord, the old minister is in charge of guarding the body and guards, so there is nothing to do."

"General Huyan, nothing will happen in the imperial mausoleum. Even if there are no guards, you, General Huyan, can fulfill the imperial order by yourself."

"The old minister came here for nothing today!" Hu Yanzan's face was full of displeasure, Defang smiled when he saw this, "It's not for nothing, the lonely king just came to look for you."

"Looking for an old minister?" Hu Yanzan looked at Defang, "Why is the prince looking for an old minister?"

"I've come here to buy you a drink."

Hu Yanzan looked at Defang and blinked, "I heard that right, old minister? You mean you came here specially to invite old minister to drink?"

"That's right, the lonely king came here to treat the old general to a drink."
