Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yeah." Di Fei nodded.

There was another silence, and Defang asked again, "Ma'am, when will you eat?"

"Your Highness is hungry?" Concubine Di asked

"Not hungry" Defang replied

After sitting for a long time, Defang didn't dare to drink a sip of water. At this time, Concubine Di got up, and Defang also stood up. Concubine Di looked at Defang, "What is the prince going to do?"

"Ah? Don't do anything." Defang sat down again. Concubine Di walked out of the main hall. Defang exhaled and took a sip of tea, but it was already cold. Concubine Di walked in again unexpectedly. Defang was almost caught Water choked.

"Drink the tea even when it's cold." Turning around, he said to the maidservant, "Change the prince for a cup of hot tea."

After the hot tea was served, Defang didn't move. Concubine Di came over and put the tea in Defang's hand and said, "My lord, do you still remember what I said to you?"

Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Ma'am, what are you talking about?"

"Regardless of life or death, you and I will be together." Concubine Di's eyes were firm

Defang got up, put down the teacup, held Concubine Di's hand and said, "Madam, such a thing won't happen"

Concubine Di nodded, "The concubine believes in the prince, and also in Grandpa and General Cao, but not the people in the court."

"I understand Madam's concerns." Defang patted Concubine Di's hand, "but now I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

Concubine Di leaned on Defang "No matter what, the concubine will be by the prince's side"

"For Madam, I will do my best to resolve this matter, and I will not see any further damage to my loved ones." Defang was under a lot of pressure. There must be no mistakes in this matter, otherwise Nanqing Palace will also be implicated.

Zhao Pu and Qu Ruochao, the minister of the Ministry of War, tried the case of Cao Bin and Song Xun together, and assigned Zhao Pu's deputy Sun Nong to the border defense to investigate and collect evidence in the name of the emperor's condolences. The letter told him what happened in the imperial court. After reading the letter, Di Shoujie burned it with a candle and began to investigate. Defang also secretly sent the official Gongliang to the border to investigate the situation.

Di Shoujie's task is to inspect the border defense deployment, and the city is stable, so he can often come into contact with soldiers and soldiers. Di Shoujie discovered many things in the chat.

One night, Di Shoujie drank in the room with six border guard officers, "Everyone, it must be very hard for the frontier guards."

"Master Di, we are all junior officers, how dare we talk about hard work, but the adults are running around, and the younger ones toast you."

Di Shoujie also raised his glass, "Okay, thank you all"

After drinking for a long time, several officers were a little drunk. Di Shoujie asked, "I heard that when General Cao led the army to garrison here, he treated the soldiers like brothers. You are really following the right person."

"Yes, yes, Old General Cao is really a good man, he loves soldiers like sons." All the officers nodded

Di Shoujie said again, "Well, Your Majesty also appreciates the old general very much."

An officer stood up and said, "Our emperor is a wise king, and he often sends Yuetouyin to wait with us. I think we are stationed at the border, but we are worried about the life of the family. Now it's all over. The emperor still thinks about us little soldiers."

Di Shoujun nodded, "Your Majesty never forgets the frontier guards for a day, and there is a common saying in the court about the suffering of the frontier guards."

"I really didn't expect the emperor to be so sympathetic to us"

"Needless to say, look at our old general Cao, who has worked so hard in frontier defense for many years. His Majesty has transferred him to be the military governor of the Tianping Army in order to show compassion for the old general. The old general can finally rest and recuperate."

Hearing this, Di Shoujie nodded and said, "Are you willing to let the old general go?"
