Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang quickly said, "My son... my son is willing... but I don't know if Miss Di... is also willing..."

Taizu smiled, "So I was worried about this, Mingzhi, are you willing?"

Mingzhi stepped forward and only said three words, "Thank you, Your Majesty"

Taizu laughed, "Hahaha, very good, Jixun, this marriage is now settled, I will order someone to choose a good day and auspicious day, and when Defang turns 16 in July, let them get married." Taizu turned his head Say to Defang, "Starting today, Defang will go to Di's mansion often, and bring Mingzhi to the palace to play at any time."

"Thank you father," said De Fang

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Di Jixun and Mingzhi thank you

The thoughts of Defang and Concubine Di returned to the present, and Concubine Di leaned on Defang and said, "Life flies so fast, it's almost 10 years in a blink of an eye."

Defang patted Concubine Di's hand, "Yeah, just like what happened yesterday, it's my good fortune to marry Mrs." Defang looked at Concubine Di.

Concubine Di smiled, and then poked Defang with her finger, "Stupid, this concubine married you because of your pity."

"Oh, thank you Madam for your kindness." Defang smiled while holding Concubine Di's hand

Baili stood in the corridor, looking at Defang and Concubine Di, feeling warm in his heart, leaning against the pillar, smiling silly by himself.At this moment, loud shouts were heard in the distance, and the sound of gongs became more and more loud. Defang stood up and listened carefully. At this moment, Jiajun ran over and reported, "Your Highness, Madam, there is a fire in the palace of Chu Palace!" "

"What? Prince Chu's Mansion?" Defang suddenly thought of Yuan Zuo

"It's the prince. The soldiers from Wanghuolou and Yujie Army Patrol Shop have rushed over."

[Historical records: The Song Dynasty established the world's first "urban fire brigade" which is very similar to today's fire brigade in terms of organizational form and essence. Lin'an, the capital at that time, until the 12th year of Chunyou (1252), there were 100 fire-fighting troops and seven teams in Lin'an city, with a total of [-] people and ten hopeful fire towers.In the capital city of the Song Dynasty, there was a military patrol shop at [-] steps per square, with five soldiers in the shop to maintain the security of the capital, and fire prevention was also an item of security. 】

"Prepare the horse immediately!"

Baili hurried to get ready, Defang and Concubine Di said, "Madam, go back to the house, I'll go and see what's going on"

"Be careful," Concubine Di said worriedly.

"Ma'am, don't worry." Defang turned around and walked out of the gate. He Jiajun got on his horse and rode to the Chu Palace. At this time, the palace was covered in thick smoke. The soldiers stood at the door protecting the Chu King. Defang dismounted and ran to Yuanzuo In front of him, "Yuan Zuo! Are you okay?"

Yuan Zuo looked at Defang, then at the thick smoke rising from the mansion, and suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, I'm going to burn them all! Burn them all!"

"Yuan Zuo! What's wrong with you?" Defang grabbed Yuan Zuo's shoulder and shook him

Yuan Zuo pushed Defang away and wanted to run back to the mansion. Defang almost fell down. Fortunately, Jia Jun reacted quickly and supported him. Seeing that Yuan Zuo was about to run in, Defang also rushed up. The son hugged Yuan Zuo and shouted to him, "Yuan Zuo, wake up! What's wrong with you!"

Yuan Zuo yelled, "Why don't you let me enter the palace to celebrate! Why!" After struggling for a few times, he passed out. The fire in the mansion had already been extinguished, but fortunately there was no serious injury. At this time, the palace had already received the news, Taizong came immediately, asked about the situation, and was furious immediately, and returned to the palace angrily.
