Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"No, how can my concubine have something on her mind? Don't think too much, my lord, go back quickly." Concubine Di helped Defang back to the dormitory. Defang didn't fall asleep that night. He was thinking about what happened a few days ago. One night, Defang got up to drink tea, but found that Concubine Di was not by her side, so she walked out of the room. After a long time, Concubine Di came back quietly. He led two people in, wept while talking, and gave them something back. What surprised him the most was that the eldest son Weixu was also beside him. These two people were arranged to live in a place next to the dining room. It was almost dawn At that time, Concubine Di and Wei Xu opened the door to let the two of them out of the palace.

Defang didn't know what Concubine Di and Wei Xu were doing and why they kept it from him, but he didn't know how to ask Concubine Di, and now Zhao Zongting and Kou Zhun wanted to investigate the war plan made by the late emperor. Case, Defang thought of these sleepless nights, and one mystery after another puzzled him.

Starting from the second day, Defang entered the palace every day and told the imperial guards to strengthen the identity checks on the people entering and leaving the palace. The vehicles and horses entering and exiting should also be carefully checked, and the number of patrols around Zhenzong was increased.

On the other hand, Kou Zhun, apart from going to the Chongzheng Hall to discuss politics, went to the Inner Court Book Pavilion to search for documents related to Wang Youguang's military rebellion. A total of 19 redundant officials were abolished and replaced in various states and counties.When the envoys were dispatched abroad, Zhao Zongting read the case of Wang Youguang in the official office in the name of investigating the case.

In June, Wang Yucheng died of illness, and Defang had to report that he sighed endlessly and made people go to Wang Yucheng's mansion to express condolences. For Defang, Wang Yucheng was a person worthy of gratitude. The queen wore mourning clothes and did not put the tablet in the Taimiao. At that time, Wang Yucheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, said to his guests, "After you taste the mother's rites, you should follow the old rituals." The minister who spoke, but was slandered and demoted, and later Wang Yucheng remonstrated with outspoken words, was demoted to Huangzhou, and moved to Qizhou, and finally died of depression.

In July, the imperial court ordered the establishment of the ancestral forehead of the wine class, and ordered the wine and music affairs of all states to take the average amount of money from Duangong to the first year of Chunhua as the ancestral forehead, which was more punishable. (In the Song Dynasty, the amount of profit and tax for official wine affairs was established, which is called the ancestor's amount, which was used to compare rewards and punishments for supervisors. Since then, the Song Dynasty's wine class has been established, and since then, the wine class has gradually increased, and the ancestor's amount has been reset repeatedly.)

In the same month, Zhenzong set up Longtu Pavilion, which is responsible for collecting Taizong's imperial collection, imperial commentary collection, various classics, pictures, auspicious things, as well as the Zhao royal family roster and genealogy entered by Zongzheng Temple.The official positions of Longtuge were successively assigned to Longtuge Waiting System, Longtuge Direct Bachelor, Longtuge Bachelor, Zhilongtuge, etc., who were in charge of all affairs in the cabinet.Because the emperor was involved, the requirements for this official position were very strict, and ordinary scribes could only be awarded the position after examination.The History Hall, Zhaowen Hall, and Jixian Hall were built in the Chongwen Academy, collectively called the Three Halls, which were in charge of drafting imperial edicts, sorting out classics, compiling books, and teaching students.
