Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Queen mother, I'm so upset that I can't even read a single word of the memorial. Brother Huang is an important minister of the three dynasties. I feel relieved that he will handle state affairs on my behalf."

"Your Majesty, but."

"Mother, please let the ministers accompany you more." Zhenzong turned his head and said, "Zhou Huaizheng"

Zhou Huaizheng went to the inner room, "the villain is here"

"I passed on my oral order, ordering Zhizhi to draft an edict. Before the queen mother recovers from illness, the state affairs will be handled by the eight sage kings on my behalf. All officials are not allowed to object, and those who disobey the order will be severely punished."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The queen mother looked at Zhenzong, then at Defang, "My lord, thank you for your hard work."

"I don't dare to be a minister." Defang cupped his hands and looked at Zhenzong, "Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty."

Zhenzong nodded, "Brother Huang is too tired."

Defang bowed and exited the bedroom, Baili asked, "My lord, how is the queen mother?"

"It's better, Baili, go to the gate of the palace and ask Master Kou to go to the Chongzheng Hall. The lonely king has something important to discuss with him."

"Yes, my lord." Baili trotted to the gate of the palace, and Defang asked Zhou Huaizheng to summon Zhi Zhizhi to draft an edict, and went directly to the Chongzheng Palace. At this time, a person came over, "See Eight Sage Kings"

Defang looked at the person, and it turned out to be Wang Qinruo, who was a political adviser, and who was in charge of the matter, "Deputy Minister Wang? Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty didn't go to court this morning, so I took the note and brought it to Chongzheng Hall."

"What is the status of Deputy Prime Minister Wang, to come to collect the papers in person, isn't it always the case that Eunuch Zhou collects the papers and hands them to the lonely king?"

"Eunuch Zhou served His Majesty in the inner palace, but I saw that no one came to collect it, and you haven't entered the palace yet, my lord, so."

"That's really the deputy prime minister." Defang stretched out her hand, "Now I can just hand it over to the lonely king."

"My lord, you see that you are still holding the golden mace, why don't I help you get it to the hall, and you can look at it slowly."

"How can you bother the Deputy Prime Minister for this kind of thing?" Defang waved, and a palace guard came over, "My lord"

"Help Deputy Prime Minister Wang carry the zipbook to the hall."

"Yes, my lord." The guard turned around and took the tray, and walked into the hall. Defang looked at Wang Qinruo, "Vice Minister Wang, if you have nothing to do, go back earlier."

As soon as Wang Qinruo was about to speak, Baili came over with Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun looked at Wang Qinruo and smiled, "Vice-President Wang is here too, there are a lot of memorials today, please collect them yourself, this has already been placed in the palace? "

"Yes. The memorial is already in the palace."

"There are more than 50 copies of the book today, and I really need to read it for a while. Is there anything you want to read?"

Wang Qinruo was startled, but still said calmly, "Master Kou was joking, I can read the memorial, I just collect it for you, no, it will be brought to the Chongzheng Palace immediately."

Kou Zhun smiled, and looked up at the sky, "Well, it must have been more than half an hour ago when we left the palace. How long does it take to walk from the court room to the Chongzheng Hall? Oh, the palace is really big. "

"Master Kou, you." Wang Qinruo hurriedly bowed his hands to Defang, "My lord, I...I just took it to the inner palace, but...but I asked me to wait a little longer, but I didn't see anyone coming after waiting for a long time, so...that's why I got it. here."

Hearing this, Kou Zhun hummed twice, "Deputy Prime Minister Wang, you are in the midst of a business, and you have something important to report in the Forbidden Palace, why do you have to wait?"

"I. Because His Majesty is taking care of the Empress Dowager, it is inappropriate for me to go."

"Not suitable? Not suitable, you still take the memorial to the palace gate of the inner palace, let's talk about it." Kou Zhun stared into Wang Qinruo's eyes, "These days, the memorials are all reviewed by the Eight Sage Kings, and it's okay for you to bring them to the inner palace to His Majesty." Why?"

"I."
