Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Indeed, the leader of the lazy family ordered that most of the horses bought and sold in Xiliang come from his ethnic group, and there will be no other dangers from now on. He wishes to pay the high-quality horses to the imperial court every year. His Majesty is very happy and issued an edict to reward the high-quality horses. Give them the money, and let them be ordered to be generals, to defend with the border guards."

"In this way, it is beneficial to the border town army or the tribe, and they will support each other."

"Well, it's great that the combat power is improved and the defense is strengthened. The people in the border town will live in peace. By the way, there is another good news today. Plundering, living in Xiaoguan, and the big insects, and the clans of the scorpion, relying on danger and the crowd, cunning and difficult to control, later Jingyuan deployed Chen Xing and other generals to crusade, destroyed their nests, captured the old and the young, and took weapons and animals. Everyone, burn and excavate his cellars. Your Majesty is very happy after hearing the report, and issued an edict to praise him."

"Presumably these tribes are also poor. How will His Majesty deal with the captured young and old?"

"It has been arranged by the Ministry of Household Affairs. It should be compared to the people who come and go from Beiguan, and live near Xuzhou."

"That's good, give them a few huts and fields that produce grain, and they will definitely live in peace for generations."

"It is said that His Majesty issued multiple edicts in one day, and also specially gave money to the soldiers from Chuanxia to Jingyi to reward their hard work."

"My lord, what you said is a good thing, but why do you still look unhappy?"

"Let's not talk about other things." Defang brought some food to Concubine Di, "Ma'am, eat more."

After lunch, Defang and Concubine Di went back to the dormitory, and then told Concubine Di what Zhenzong said and about Liu Mei, and she still looked unhappy after speaking, "Ma'am, Your Majesty knows everything clearly, and you don't want to deal with such a big matter." Explain, why do I need to investigate a small rumor? I have spent so much effort to investigate Liu Mei's affairs carefully, but the result is nothing at all, and I am really pissed off."

Concubine Di stroked Defang's chest, "What's so angry about this? Didn't Your Majesty say it? I didn't expect you to check it so carefully. Besides, it might be a good thing."

Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Why is it a good thing?"

"Does the prince still want to find out if there is something wrong?"

Defang nodded, and the anger on her face disappeared, and she smiled slightly, "It's very reasonable for Madam to say so, it's okay, why am I so angry, hehehe"

"What are you angry about?" Concubine Di snorted lightly, pointing her finger at the sky, "I'm angry with him, the prince really thought there was something wrong, worried and checked for a long time, that's why he got angry."

Defang held Concubine Di's finger and pulled it to her heart, "Madam and I really share our hearts, Madam knows everything I want."

Concubine Di leaned forward and put her ear to Defang's heart, "Then this concubine, listen to what the prince is still thinking."

Defang embraced Concubine Di, "Did you hear that? I've been thinking about my wife all the time."

"I can't hear you clearly." Concubine Di smiled.

"Lie down and listen." Defang kissed Concubine Di on the forehead, and pulled her to the bed. The two had just sat down and knocked on the door. "My lord, empress, are you two asleep?"

"Didn't sleep, come in and say."

Baili pushed the door open and walked into the house, "My lord, General Jin Hu sent someone from Xingyuan to bring you and your empress local products."

"Isn't Jin Hu here?"

"He didn't come, but he did bring a letter."

"Where is the person coming from?"

"In front of the house."

"Let them go to the main hall." Defang turned around and said, "Ma'am, I'll go and have a look, you go to sleep."

Concubine Di came over, "Since Jin Hu sent someone here, the concubine should also go and have a look."

Defang and Concubine Di came to the main hall, and the visitor was wearing the school captain's light armor. Seeing the two of them seated, they knelt down and cupped their hands.

Defang raised his hand, "please stand up"

The visitor didn't get up, but knelt down on his knees and kowtowed. Concubine Defang Di was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
