Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"That's right, I think that the Liu family has no name at all, but they want to be named imperial concubine at once."

"Then why did His Majesty's imperial edict just now designate her as a beauty?"

"In the middle of last month, His Majesty personally wrote the edict and sent his servants to take it to the Ministry of Rites. On the way, he met Li Xiang. Li Xiang asked His Majesty what the holy intention was. The servant told the truth. Guess what Li Xiang did?"

"What are you doing?" Baili touched the back of his head, "Go with me?"

"Where are you going, idiot"

"My lord, I can't guess the little one."

"Li Xiangta" De Fang lowered his voice, "He took the imperial edict and burned it with a candle."

After hearing this, Baili opened his mouth and stammered, "Burn. Burn. Edict."

"En." Defang nodded, "After the burning, he wrote a memorial for the servant to take it back to His Majesty. There were only six words written on it: Chen Han thought it was impossible. As a result, His Majesty stopped mentioning it after reading it."

"This, this, this. Why does Li Xiang even take care of His Majesty's conferment of the harem?"

Defang smiled, "I have the most different court officials in the Song Dynasty. I remember that when His Majesty ascended the throne, he ordered the third secretary to report the amount of all the money and food in the treasury. However, the envoy of the third secretary, Chen Shu, has not reported it for a long time. , His Majesty urged him many times, but Lord Chen still did not report, so His Majesty ordered Prime Minister Lu Duan to question Lord Chen, and Lord Chen told Lu Xiang: The emperor is dissatisfied with standing, not familiar with state affairs, and everything needs to be done. It is abundant and rich everywhere, but if His Majesty knows this, he may become slack and gradually become extravagant. In this way, it will be the greatest harm to his family and country. After Lu Xiang learned the whole story, he defended it in front of His Majesty. Mr. Chen, please ask the edict to supervise this matter, so His Majesty did not pursue it further."

"Lu Xiang and Mr. Chen are also very powerful."

"Compared to Li Xiang, he is even more powerful. He even burned the imperial edict, hehehe" De Fang said, "Actually, many people know about your Majesty and Mrs. Liu, and they have worked hard for her. I asked privately whether it was appropriate to seal the Liu family, but Lu Xiang did not agree, and at that time Mrs. Qin also did not agree. Your Majesty had no choice but to give up. After Li Xiang took office, His Majesty also asked, and Li Xiang objected even more. It is so inappropriate to think that Liu's matter will hinder His Majesty's mighty virtue."

"My lord, Mrs. Liu. No. Now it's... Meiren Liu. What happened to her? Why do Mrs. Qin and the two prime ministers disagree?"

"Not only them, but the late emperor also knew about this matter. You forgot that His Majesty once told His Majesty who was still a prince to expel the Liu family from the palace."

Baili thought for a while, "It seems that there is such a thing. Miss Pan and Queen Zhanghuai were still there back then, and she got sick because of this matter."

"That's right, there were not many people who knew about it back then, but after His Majesty was canonized as the crown prince, the news about Mrs. Liu spread, and Madam Qin and the two prime ministers were also worried that Mrs. Liu would affect His Majesty's mighty virtue. "

"Prince, since Your Majesty intends to make Liu Meiren a noble concubine, it will be a matter of time, right?"

"That's right. Even though the late Emperor was displeased and Mrs. Qin was displeased, His Majesty still defended her. Now that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven and has many concubines in the harem, he still misses Mrs. Liu."

"Your Majesty really loves Liu Meiren, but who is Liu Meiren? Who is the daughter of your lord?"

Defang looked at the palace gate in front of her, "Baili, go back and tell me that there is still something about her to do."
