Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang shook her head, and after she had finished eating, she got up and walked to Weixian and said, "Come to Father Wang's study after dinner."

Weixian hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, "Yes"

Defang sat in the study thinking about something, and after a while Weixian knocked on the door and walked in, "Father, why are you looking for a child?"

"I heard from the adults of the Kaifeng Mansion and the Ministry of War that you have done very well in the past month or so. More than half of the 120 people arrested were brought back by you."

"Yes, father, the child is not slack at all."

"Well, it seems that the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are very capable, and the arrangements are so proper, otherwise these people would still be messing with the people in the capital."

Weixian's heart was half cold when he heard this, and after a long time of trouble, he still didn't praise himself, Defang continued, "Your Majesty is very satisfied with the booklet, and has approved the request for additional troops from Kaifeng Mansion. Go ahead and do it, you won’t have to go to the Ministry of War for the next three months, and assist Kaifeng Mansion to maintain law and order in the capital, those villains who ran away will come back here at any time because they covet the property of the people in the capital, you can’t be careless.”

"Yes. Father." This time, Weixian's heart was completely cold. It's fine if he didn't get the credit. He can't go back to the Ministry of War for three months. He has to deal with some gangsters and bullies all day long. It's boring when he thinks about it. , but he could not refute it, so he had to do so.

Defang looked at Weixian, who was bowing his head, and said, "Weixian, did you hear any news at the Ministry of War today?"

"News?" Weixian looked up at Defang, "Father, the child hasn't returned to the Ministry of War. I don't know if there is any news."

"When Linzhou was besieged last month, General Wang Hanzhong, the governor of the Baojing Army, disobeyed the imperial edict and returned without success. The court will send him to Xiangzhou."

"Father, General Wang also sent troops to repel the party. Although he returned in vain, he did not lose any soldiers."

"Do you think it's a joke to disobey the imperial edict? Demotion is already the lightest punishment. If the imperial edict is empty in the name of loyalty, what is the majesty of your majesty? How can you convince other courtiers and generals?" Don't you forget that back then, the father disobeyed the imperial order and sent troops to retreat from the enemy. Although he returned victorious, he knelt in front of the palace gate for eight hours before he was able to get rid of his sin."

"I know I was wrong." Wei Xian bowed his head and said, "Father, haven't you already demoted General Wang, why are you sending him to Xiangzhou?"

"Because of personal grievances," Defang said, "Dianzhi Zheng Huaide and An Shouzhong were generals before His Majesty ascended the throne. , and the guard there is General Wang Hanzhong, but General Wang Hanzhong has an upright temperament and is not good at words. His Majesty didn't blame him. This time, the two of them took the opportunity to play General Wang Hanzhong's personal affairs, which made His Majesty very unhappy, so he has decided to let him go to Xiangzhou to become the prefect. In addition, there will be 200 million yuan in annual bonuses.”

"Zheng Huaide and An Shouzhong are villains!"
