Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang stood up, "Li Guangfu, although Xu'er was hurt by you, he still interceded for you, saying that you have studied hard for more than ten years, and it is not easy to pass the imperial examinations. It shows that you have outstanding talents. It’s a bit reckless to do things, but you dare to go to the Ministry of Officials alone to apply for an official, and your original intention is to do things for the people of your family and country, and you are not lacking in bravery. He believes that you will be a pillar of the family and the country, and asks the lonely king to keep your talent for the court.”

Li Guangfu put his hands on the ground with tears in his eyes, Defang sighed softly, then turned to ask, "Lord Ren, if the perpetrator sincerely repents and the injured has no intention of blaming others for this kind of wounding case, how should the judgment be made according to the laws of the Song Dynasty?"

Ren Shuo handed over his hand, "Go back to the prince. In the case of minor physical injuries, if the perpetrator pleads guilty and repents, and the injured and relatives intercede, he will be punished according to the law for [-] days, and he will be imprisoned for [-] days."

Defang nodded, "Well, Li Guangfu, you've heard it all. If you plead guilty and repent, the Gu Wang and Weixu will not pursue this matter any more. Are you convinced by the sentence of the Lord according to the law?"

"Students, thank you for your kindness!"

Defang took Jiajun to the door of the cell, stopped, and turned to look at Li Guangfu, "Actually, a talented man like you who is both civil and military, the court is eager for talents, and it is uncertain when you will become a high-ranking official. To relieve border troubles for the country and appease the people."

"My lord." Li Guangfu wept softly on the ground

Defang nodded, walked out of the cell, and returned to the back hall. Weixian ran over, "Father, Li Guangfu."

"Okay." Defang waved his hand and walked in front of Weixu, "Xu'er, go back to the mansion with your father."

"Father, what about Li Guangfu?"

"Father has already dealt with it according to your wishes, don't worry."

"Thank you, Father."

"This child still laughs after being hurt. Go back and comfort your mother."

Weixian looked at Defang, "Father, what do you mean brother? How to deal with Li Guangfu?"

"Why do you ask so many questions, you also go back to the mansion with your father."

"Father, the child has to go back to the Ministry of War."

"Xiaoli, go ask Xian'er for leave, and say that the lonely king told him to go back to the manor."

Defang and the others returned to the main hall of the Nanqing Palace, Concubine Di hurried forward to support Wei Xu, "Xu'er, look at the empress, does it hurt?"

"Mother, the baby is fine, it's just a minor injury, it will be fine in two days."

"It really frightened the queen mother, sit down quickly, Ke'er, and bring the soup."

Defang sat on the chair and said, "Weixian, kneel down."

Weixian looked at Concubine Di and then at Defang, "Father, why do you want the child to kneel down?"

"If I tell you to kneel, kneel!"

Wei Xian knelt down reluctantly, and Concubine Di hurried over, "My lord, what's the matter? What did Xian'er do wrong?"

"When Wei Xian learned that Xu'er was injured, he brought Xiao Li and Jing Wu into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and even took a knife to cut off Li Guangfu's hand. Isn't this a mistake?"

Hearing this, Wei Xian said, "Father, brother is injured, why is it wrong for the child to take someone to find Li Guangfu?"

"My lord," Concubine Di was about to say, when De Fang patted Concubine Di, "Ma'am, listen to me, Wei Xian, even if something happens to your brother, you can't bring people into the government office and use lynching, let alone This is Kaifeng Mansion in the capital."

"The child is also impatient at the moment."

"That's not a reason! You just rely on one person to report, and you led people into the government office without even seeing your brother. You don't say whether what you did is justifiable, but if there is another inside story about this matter, the detainee What about being innocent?"

Weixian looked at Defang bowed his head and stopped talking, Defang looked at Weixian and said, "Xian'er, do you know that in the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, the father and king entered the palace to meet the late emperor, but someone informed the mansion that it was true. The father has something to do in the palace, and he wants General Song to bring his own soldiers into the palace. If Mr. Nangong didn't stop him, the father might fall into the tricks of vicious people and bear the name of forcing the palace. Already on the road to Huangquan."

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "Xian'er is still young, he knows he made a mistake, and he won't do it again."

"23 years old, when the lonely king was 23 years old, he had already guarded the gate against the enemy and established a military town. Madam, in those years, you and I experienced together, can Xian'er understand it?"

"My lord, Xian'er is a little reckless, and you will understand after a while."

"I want him to understand now, and let him keep in mind that today is fortunately about Xu'er's stay in Kaifeng Mansion. If someone told him today that the lonely king had something to do in the palace, Wei Xian, would you dare to take him with him?" Let someone break into the palace?"

"The child dare not."

"I don't dare to say it now, and I can't do it in the future! How many times have I told you to do things carefully, don't act recklessly, don't harm your close relatives and subordinates because of you alone, you must remember what happened today! You go to the martial arts room now, kneel in front of the Qiankun Dao, you can't get up without father's order, go now!"

"My lord."

"Ma'am! I can't wait until something happens to teach him!"

Concubine Di sighed, and walked up to Wei Xian, "Xian'er."

"Mother's Empress" Weixian stood up and looked at Defang, "I know my mistake, I won't do it again, I'll go now."

Wei Xian went to the martial arts room to kneel and punish him, and Concubine Di took care of Wei Xu until he was sent back to his room after dinner before returning to the dormitory with Defang to rest.
