Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Oh, the family is poor." Defang thought for a while, "That's not right, the imperial salary is enough to support your family, and you are an official anyway, Qingxi or Laizhou, those wealthy merchants or those with some family background, there will always be someone coming to your door say kiss?"

"Go back to the prince. I am an official. Before I became an official, my family was poor. Later, some fortune-tellers said that Xiaguan has a lonely peak and four tails drooping. It seems to be a wife. It is not suitable for marriage. If you get married Lian Li, I'm afraid there will be no good end."

"This... is this too ridiculous? Master Du, you are an official of the imperial court, do you believe all the words of this fortune teller?"

"The lower official is dull. I don't want to harm others."

"My lord Du, the so-called unfilialism has three things: having no offspring is the biggest. Just a few words from a fortune-teller made you give up the idea of ​​starting a family. You are really... hey. Let the lonely king say what is good about you."

"Your official is ashamed."

Concubine Di cleared her throat and shook her head at Defang, and then Defang said, "No matter what, this is your private matter, Mr. Du, and it is inconvenient for the lonely king to ask too much. Your gift is accepted by the lonely king. As for the transfer Regarding the return to Beijing, I believe the Ministry of Officials will issue an order soon, but I don’t know if Master Du has considered that he is suitable for any position?”

"Returning to the prince, I have served as a judge in Laizhou for seven years. If there is a vacancy, I am willing to serve as an official in the Ministry of Punishment."

"Ministry of Punishment, um." Defang nodded, "At present, there is still Yuanwailang who can fill the position of Yuanwailang in the capital lawsuit of the Ministry of Punishment. This position is indeed suitable."

"This is just an extravagant request from the lower officials. I don't know how the Ministry of Officials will consider assigning posts."

"That's right, any job you send is for the people of your country. Don't worry, it should be a few days. Master Du will go back and wait with peace of mind. He will take up his post soon."

"Yes, I understand." Du Wenkai looked at De Fang and Concubine Di, cupped his hands again and said, "My lord, I won't bother you anymore, I will leave first."

"Well, Mrs. Du, please."

After Du Wenkai left, Defang had a slightly unhappy look on her face, Concubine Di asked, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

"Huh? Me? It's okay."

"Then why do you seem unhappy?"

"No way, how can you be unhappy with your wife?" Defang smiled, "Xinkang, are the pastries delicious?"

Xiao Xinkang smiled while grabbing the snack, Concubine Di patted Xinkang and asked, "My lord, what do you think of Master Du?"

"How? What does Madam mean?"

"Does the prince think he is a good official?"

"How do you know if you're a good official after only seeing each other?"

"My lord knows talent with his eyes. After talking so much, he can always make some judgments."

"I don't have such a great ability, I can't be a god, can my wife see it?"

"Yes, Master Du is a capable official."

"How does Madam determine that he is a capable official?"

Concubine Di smiled, "If he is not a capable official, why did the court call him into Beijing? Is what the concubine said justified?"

Defang blinked, "Really, why didn't I think of it, Madam is Madam, what you said is too reasonable, hahaha"

"My lord, Mr. Du is the judge of Laizhou Prefecture. What position do you think the Ministry of Officials will assign to him?"

"Ministry of officials? Humph" Defang took out the booklet, "I have the final say."

Concubine Di looked at the book and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that His Majesty entrusted you with the assignment of duties?"

"Yes." Defang smiled, "If others know, the gate of Nanqing Palace will be smashed today. Speaking of which, Du Wenkai really knows how to choose a date."
