Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I have a rich family with books, but my parents experienced wars, abandoned their pens and joined the army, and died in battle. I am the only son in the family and inherited my father's position. However, my mother taught me that I never threw down my books. So far."

"So it turns out that Master Meng's mother is really a visionary. Master Meng is now a person with both civil and military skills. He is indeed the pillar of the family and the blessing of the people."

"Thank you, my lord, I will do my best to benefit the people of Luoyang."

Defang nodded, and then looked at Feng Zhenkang, "There are two in Luoyang, and there will be long-term peace and stability."

The two bowed and cupped their hands, "Thank you, my lord."

In the next few days, Defang and Jiajun followed Feng Zhenkang to inspect the defense situation during the day, and checked the files and records in the city with Nangong Wen and the prefect Meng Zhixing at night. The daily schedule was very full and there was very little rest. Chongming and Shang En didn't care. Day and night, he would stay by Defang's side, not daring to relax.

Six days later, Defang wrote a report and planned to go to Jiamaying, the birthplace of Taizu, and then return to the capital.

On the second day, Defang only took Chongming and Shang En to Jiamaying. Because Emperor Taizu was born here and Taizong grew up here, two emperors were born in Jiamaying, so a temple was built there to worship Looking at the bow and arrow left by Taizu when he left Jiamaying, Defang knelt down, stepped out of the small temple, and walked around to look around. Defang, who came to the birthplace of the late emperor for the first time, was very moved. So I said to Chongming Shangen

"I think that the first emperor was born here and grew up for nearly [-] years. Although he has suffered many hardships, he still has great ambitions to create the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. Now that he comes here to visit, he has a lot of feelings in his heart."

"The first emperor was the son of a real dragon, who ruled martial arts and martial arts, and spread his virtues all over the world. How can he be a land of dragons?" Chongming said.

Defang smiled, "Chongming, you haven't been able to read many books in the past few years, and your speech is showing the style of a literati."

Chongming patted his head and smirked, "Young master taught me well."

Shan En from behind slapped Chong Ming and said, "I'm so happy when you see the young master praise you."

Chongming shook his head, "What are you doing? Are you envious? Then you can also say a few words for our young master to listen to."

Shan En kept his mouth shut, and kicked Chongming, "What are you talking about? Say you will flatter your son!"

"My lord, look at him, he will hit someone if he can't speak out." Chongming surrounded Defang to hide from Shang En

Defang smiled, "You two guys, read more books"

The three of them happily returned to their residence. At the door, they met Meng Zhixing, the prefect who was asking to see him. Defang called out, "Master Meng, are you waiting for me?"

Meng Zhixing hurried over, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, please talk to the inner room."

Defang was startled, knowing that there must be something important, so Meng Zhixing came to the inner room.

Meng Zhixing said to Defang, "My lord, do you still remember Wang Jixun?"

"Wang Jixun?" Defang thought for a while, "Of course, he is the younger brother of the late Queen Xiaoming, but he has already been dismissed from office. Why did Lord Meng mention him?"

Meng Zhixing looked distressed, "My lord, this matter can only be resolved with the help of my lord."

"Oh? What's going on?" Defang was very puzzled.

"My lord, do you still remember the first day when my lord asked about the disappearance of an official girl?"

"Remember, at that time Master Meng said that there was no clue."

"The lower official received a new report today. A missing daughter ran back and told the lower official something horrible."

"What's the matter?"

Meng Zhixing whispered the content of the matter to Defang, Defang was shocked and did not speak for a long time, because Defang also knew a lot about this person. Excessive publicity and many evil deeds, Taizu thought it was for the sake of the queen, but he just dismissed his official position, but he didn't know how to repent, and he took pleasure in slaughtering maidservants and cooking women's flesh all day long. Now a woman finally ran back to the official alive.
