Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I heard from Baili that you came to the mansion last night drunk and insisted on meeting Brother Wang and your sister-in-law, so something must have happened to you?"

"Well." Yuan Yan told De Fang and Concubine Di about his visit to Li Jilong yesterday, "Brother Wang, do you think my younger brother can not be angry? General Li did it on purpose. We visited him on the order of Brother Huang. He They really treat us like this, and they don't take us seriously."

Concubine Di smiled when she heard this, "Yuan Yan, General Li has always been like this, you misunderstood him."

"Misunderstanding? Sister-in-law, is he like this or we misunderstood him?"

Defang hummed, "General Li is the queen mother's elder brother after the founding hero. The relationship, the Empress Dowager is dying of serious illness, he even held back his blood and family affection to stop at the palace gate, so, you should understand a little bit, right?"

Yuan Yan thought for a while, "Brother Wang means that General Li wants to keep a distance from the royal family?"

"That's what it means, so don't blame him."

Yuan Yan pursed her lips, "So that's how it is."

"There are still many people and things in the court that need to be understood in detail. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. Yuan Yan, you need to practice a lot."

Yuan Yan cupped his hands, "Yes, the younger brother has been taught, and he must bear in mind Brother Wang's teachings."

Concubine Di served Yuan Yan a bowl of porridge, "I've finished talking, if you don't eat hot porridge, it will get cold."

Yuan Yan quickly took it with both hands, "Thank you, sister-in-law, my little brother disturbed brother Wang's sister-in-law."

"Don't talk about it as a family." Concubine Di served some porridge for Defang, "My lord, eat more."

"Thank you ma'am" Defang took a few sips, "Yuan Yan, when you are not busy, you often come to sit here with Brother Wang. If you really feel unhappy and want to drink again, then Brother Wang will accompany you and stop messing around." Ran."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Wang."

"Well, eat more, Brother Wang will enter the palace to see His Majesty later."

"Are you going to persuade the emperor to go to court?"

"Yes, state affairs are important, and we can't delay any longer."

"The little brother will go with you."

"Brother Wang can go alone. You can see if you have any unfinished business at hand. Don't miss the business."

"Yes, Brother Wang."

After breakfast, Yuan Yan returned to Kaifeng Mansion, and Defang took Jin Shangde into the palace in a sedan chair. Zhenzong still had no intention of political affairs. Defang told Zhenzong about the border affairs, saying that the Northwest is currently using troops, and the military affairs of the family and the country cannot be suspended Kuang, the country is the most important thing, and the career of Zhao Song Emperor is the most important. After several times of persuasion, Zhenzong finally agreed to go to the court to govern, but he did not enter the main hall. Defang ordered Jin Shangde to diagnose Zhenzong's pulse and prescribed a prescription before leaving the palace. , Baili helped Defang walk slowly, "My lord, how are you?"

"It's okay." Defang straightened her waist a little bit, but still felt a little uncomfortable. Jin Shangde said, "My lord, your body is still stiff and you can't move it hard. After you return to the government minister, you will be relieved by acupuncture and moxibustion. After a period of recuperation, you will be fine." I'm in the way."

"There are laborers, but." Defang looked at Jin Shangde and said, "The lonely king wants to deal with the backlog from tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has agreed to govern the court, and it will be three days later. You should rest for a few more days."

"Hey. You have also seen that His Majesty's grief cannot be healed in a short period of time, and the dragon's body also needs to recuperate. The lonely king feels better during this period of time. He plans to approve the papers as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can also be as soon as possible when he goes to court. Quickly understand the big and small political affairs in the country. Speaking of which, the lonely king is still a man of the dynasty, and this is also his duty. If he does not do a good job, he will be dereliction of duty."
