Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My lord, don't you always advise the old minister to drink less, why did you make a special trip to invite the old minister today?"

"General Huyan was ordered by the emperor to guard the reburial of Empress Yuande. This is a heavy responsibility. The lonely king should invite the general to have a drink and express his gratitude."

"My lord, this Empress Yuande is Your Majesty's biological mother, not your biological mother. What are you doing to thank the old minister?"

"The Gu Wang and His Majesty are siblings, fellow members of the royal family, and Queen Yuande is also the elder of the Gu Wang. Let him be the Gu Wang to thank the old general on behalf of His Majesty."

"The old minister's face is too big." Hu Yanzan laughed and said, "My lord, you invited this. You can't call me a veteran if you drink too much."

"No." Defang looked at the officials of the third department and the Ministry of Rites, "General Huyan, they still have to practice, so let's not delay, let's go, go back to the mansion with the lonely king."

"Okay! Please, my lord!" Huyanzan followed Defang back to the palace, the dining room put all the prepared meals on the table, and Defang poured Huyanzan a glass of wine, "General Huyan, these are all prepared for you. "

Hu Yanzan looked at the table, "My lord, there are so many of them, and they are all the old officials' favorite."

"Yes, this meal is specially prepared for the old general." Defang also poured a glass of wine himself, "This wine is too."

Hu Yanzan picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Ha! My lord! This wine is really good!"

"Wangfu fine wine, no one else has ever drunk it."

"Prince" Hu Yanzan looked at Defang, "Are you really preparing for the old minister?"

"The food is already on the table, it's just you and me, how can we still have leave?"

"That. My lord, can I ask why?"

"Didn't I tell you, thank you"

"Nothing else?"

"It's gone, as the saying goes, you must be happy when you are happy in life. Don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. Eat it quickly, or it will be cold." , happily eating and drinking, not long after, the four altars of wine ran out, Huyanzan was already dizzy, and Defang was also a little drunk, he looked at Huyanzan and said, "General Huyan, do you still feel unwell? "

"No. No." Hu Yanzan shook his head, "The old minister is in good health."

"Have you taken the medicine caught by the country?"

"I didn't eat, old minister. The old minister has been fine for a long time."

Defang poured another glass of wine for Hu Yanzan, "General Hu Yan. You have been back to Beijing for four years. The lonely king often talks about you. You. Have you ever blamed the lonely king?"

Hu Yanzan leaned on the table with his elbows, rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands, and said vaguely, "Your Highness, what you said is correct. Old minister, I don't blame the Highness."

"General Huyan. The lonely king. I'm not really talking about you."

"Well, my lord. You said. What?"

"I'm sorry." Defang choked up a bit, Hu Yanzan's eyelids were heavy at this time, and he slowly lay down on the table, "Mm. Mm. My lord. What."

Defang covered him with a cloak, stretched out his hand to support Huyanzan's back, looked at the brave general who was as strong as an ox in front of him, and thought that he would die soon, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
