Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"There are enough new recruits from all walks of life. There are still 5000 new recruits waiting for the branch. The source of troops is not a problem."

"Okay, then Zhaochuan and Xiazhou states will garrison troops, and the limit will be two years first, and the generals and schools with their powers will be the same."

"Yes, Your Majesty." De Fang put down the booklet, "By the way, the grandfather of Princess Lu and concubine Chai Zongqing, Chai Yuxi, the governor of the Zhenning Army, has come to the court from Shanzhou, and he can enter Beijing at about six o'clock tomorrow."

"Yeah. Forget about it." Zhenzong rubbed his forehead, "It's been more than three years since my sister got married. It seems that Master Chai only met them when they were married. Brother Huang, this time Master Chai returned to Beijing. Let the younger sister go to the Chai Mansion to have an audience according to the ceremony, and perform the ceremony of an uncle."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Brother Huang, please look after her more about my younger sister. I think my three younger sisters have passed away, so I take good care of my fourth sister, but this child is stubborn, and Zong Qing is under her control for a little while." No concubine has been accepted, and Rong Yue usually pays perfunctory salutes to my royal brother, even though she is the eldest princess, I am still worried that she is not polite enough."

"I understand that I will take her to Chai Mansion."

"That's good. I will send officials from the Ministry of Rituals to teach her how to salute tomorrow, so I'll leave it to the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, she is also the younger sister of the minister, as it should be."

At this moment, Kim Sang-deok came over, "Your Majesty, Your Highness"

Zhenzong hurriedly got up and asked, "National player, how is the Queen Mother?"

Jin Shangde looked up at Zhenzong and then at Defang. Defang said, "National player, Your Majesty is very worried. Don't worry about it at this time. How is the Empress Dowager's condition?"

"Yes," Jin Shangde said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the soup and medicine are no longer effective."

"What does this mean?"

Jin Shangde knelt down and said, "I dare not hide your majesty, the empress dowager is afraid... time is running out."

"Impossible!" Zhenzong grabbed Jin Shangde's clothes, "Jin Shangde! How dare you say this in front of me!"

Defang quickly supported Zhenzong, "Your Majesty! If it wasn't true, Jin Guoshou would dare to say such shocking words."

"I don't believe it! He's not a god, and he sometimes gets his pulse wrong! If you dare to talk nonsense, Jin Shangde, I will kill you!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still resting, so you will wake her up."

After hearing this, Zhenzong pushed Jin Shangde away, Defang helped him sit down, and Baili hurriedly helped Jin Shangde up. Seeing this, Defang could only say, "Jin Guoshou, there must be other ways, right?"

Jin Shangde looked at Defang and saw that he was gesturing to himself, so he said, "Yes, I can make some soup, the queen mother will feel much better after drinking it."

Zhenzong stood up again, "The Queen Mother has said that her heart is very uncomfortable these nights, and the imperial doctor has taken many medicines, but there is no way to relieve it. Can you relieve the pain?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Great." Zhenzong quickly walked to the door and waved, "Come with me."

Jin Shangde looked at Defang, Defang nodded, and watched Jin Shangde follow him. Just as Defang was about to sit down, he heard a voice in the inner room, so he walked to the door, and then he heard clearly that the Queen Mother was talking, Defang Fang led Baili to the bedside, the Queen Mother Li opened her eyes slightly, and moved her hands. Seeing this, Defang knelt down on one knee by the bedside, "Queen Mother, what do you want?"

Mrs. Li turned her head slightly to look at Defang, "My lord."

"Queen Mother, it's my minister, do you want some water?"

"Where's your lord, your majesty?"

"Your Majesty just took Jin Guoshou out, and I'm going to invite your Majesty."

"No." The queen mother shook her head, "My lord, Aijia knows that the emperor has stayed here all night, so let the emperor go to rest."
