Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Of course I can't bear it, but we can't bear the fact that the old general has to be stationed at the border. We also hope that His Majesty will call the old general back to Beijing to serve, so that we don't have to work so hard."

Di Shoujie thought for a while, "Does everyone think this way?"

"Yes, Lord Di, during the school inspection before, our deputy general once asked the old general if he should ask His Majesty for instructions and return to Beijing to take up his post."

"Oh? Which lieutenant general?" Di Shoujie asked

"It's General Zhou Hong, by the way, General Wang Yongqian also mentioned it," said an officer.

"Then how did the old general answer?" Di Shoujie asked

"The old general said that as a military general, he should protect his family and country, and share his majesty's worries."

Di Shoujie had some clues in his mind, so he drank wine with them again. The next day, Di Shoujie found Zhou Hong and Wang Yongqian, and learned a lot about the situation during the chat, and told them that Cao Bin was in front of the capital at this time. Zhou Hong and Wang Yongqian asked Di Shoujie to bring a letter to Cao Bin when he returned to Beijing. Di Shoujie put the letter away and promised to hand it over to Cao Bin.

On the other hand, Sun Nong, Zhao Pu's deputy general, arrived at the place where Song Xun was serving and saw his old troops, and he also gained a lot.

[many days later]

It was very strange that Zhao Pu in the capital had not received any report from the lieutenant. When Taizong asked about the case in the hall, Zhao Pu only said that he was still waiting for the adjutant's investigation results.

One morning after court, Mi Dechao, Wang Xian, and Chai Yuxi went to Yushu Pavilion together. Mi Dechao walked in front of the two, and suddenly turned around and said, "My lord, Mr. Chai, I really don't know what merits and virtues you two have." Actually ranked above the court?"

Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi were already dissatisfied with Mi Dechao, so they said, "Master Mi, why did you say that? Although we are not talented, your majesty is very kind and generous, and we are doing our best to serve the country and be loyal to your majesty."

"Humph! Loyalty? I'm talking about the great affairs of the country. I have contributed to the security of the country, and I can only get a great name. Who are you? Your majesty doesn't know, but you let me take the lead! It makes me follow your example, I am really ashamed !"

Wang Xian was very angry, "Lord Mi, you are insulting His Majesty!"

Mi Dechao walked up to Wang Xian, "Shut up! Your generation should be beheaded. I have no attachment to my speed, and I will be dazzled by your generation!"

"Shut up!" At this moment, they shouted an order, and the three turned their heads to see that it was Defang. Defang happened to pass by here on business, but he heard the conversation between the three and was very angry. He came to Mi Dechao and said You are so outspoken, so contemptuous of His Majesty's holiness, and still humiliating important court officials in the imperial palace, what crime should you deserve!" Defang held the golden mace tightly

Mi Dechao was taken aback, and took a few steps back, "My lord, please don't mess around."

"Crazy? I will let you taste the golden mace today." Defang suddenly raised the golden mace. Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi quickly grabbed Defang's hand, fearing that he would really kill Mi Dechao. Wonderful, run away quickly.

Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi quickly persuaded, "My lord, please calm down, it's not worth getting angry with such a villain."

Defang put down the golden mace, and said to Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi, "My lords, Mi Dechao humiliated you so much, but you are still indifferent. This will only fuel his arrogance and continue to bully you!"

Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, although my official position is higher than that of Mi Dechao, he is His Majesty's man after all. I'm afraid..."

Defang shook his head, "The two lords are now paying homage to the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council. This is due to His Majesty's kindness, and it is also His Majesty's trust in the talents and virtues of the two lords. The two should share the worries of His Majesty. How can we allow such villains to say that they insulted you?" words?"

Wang Xian thought for a while, then nodded, "My lord woke up the officials with one word. The officials are stupid. It is the officials' fault to let such villains harm the country. The officials will never sit back and watch."

Chai Yuxi also said, "My lord's lesson is that, as a courtier, how can you be greedy for life and fear death? The two of us will definitely not let Nami Dechao continue to be rampant!"

Defang nodded, "The two adults are the pillars of the imperial court, and this king will also stand by their side."

Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to punish Mi Dechao together with you."
