Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Then can we take back Yanyun?"

"The queen mother doesn't know, but no matter what, your father and king will definitely help your majesty protect the foundation of the country." Concubine Di patted Wei Xian, "Xian'er, you are the prince of the father, the queen mother, and the grandson of the emperor Taizu. It is your responsibility to build the foundation of the Song Dynasty and protect thousands of people, so you must study hard to make your family strong and the people rich."

"Well, my child remembers." Wei Xian nodded, Wei Ling looked at Wei Xian and said, "Brother, I can recite poems."

"What poem?"

"A long, long, long poem."

"how long?"

"A lot of words."

"I do not believe."

Concubine Di smiled, and patted Weiling, "Ling'er, then you can recite a few words from the meeting to your brother."

"Yeah," but Ling Ling's childish voice and inappropriately punctuated apostasy, "The tide of the spring river connects with the sea level, and the moon rises together with the tide. The waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, where is the spring river without moonlight? The river flows round Fangdian, and the moon shines The flowers and forests are like sleet. The frost in the sky does not fly, and the white sand on the terrace cannot be seen. The river sky is the same color without dust, and the moon is in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon by the river? When did the river moon shine on people? Life is endless. , Jiang Yue is only similar year after year. I don’t know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.”

Weixian was a little dazed when he heard that, seeing Weiling's mouth opened, Concubine Di lifted Weixian's chin when she saw this, "Xian'er, sister, is it right?"

Wei Xian shook his head, Concubine Di asked, "Is the recitation wrong?"

"Mother's Queen" Weixian said, "This is so long, my child has never learned this, and Mr. Nangong didn't talk about it. How could my sister do it?"

"My mother taught it." Concubine Di smiled and patted Weiling. "Is my sister very smart? Mother will teach her the latter in a few days."

Wei Xian jumped up and said, "The queen mother also teaches the children! Teach the children too!"

"What are you teaching?" Defang, who had just returned from the palace, walked into the main hall, "Xian'er, you are acting like a baby with your mother again."

"Father!" Weixian ran to Defang and stretched out his hands, "Hug!"

Defang smiled and patted Wei Xian's head, "I still need to hug you when I'm so big, sit on the chair by myself" and then walked to Concubine Di and bent over to hug Wei Ling, "Ling'er, please give me a hug from my father, do you miss my father?" ?”

"Yes" Weiling kissed Defang and hugged his neck, Defang patted Weiling happily, "My little Linger is the best."

Wei Xian pouted and walked in front of Concubine Di, "Mother, the baby also needs to be hugged."

Concubine Di smiled and hugged Wei Xian, "Xian'er is a good boy, hugged by the queen mother."

Defang looked at Weixian, "Xian'er, what did your mother teach you just now?"

"My younger sister just recited a long poem, which was taught by my mother."

"Oh?" Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Madam taught Ling'er to recite poems? What poem?"

"It's Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night""

"Can Ling'er recite such a long poem?"

"It's only half, and the sentences I recited are not quite right."

"That's not easy." Defang kissed Weiling. "My little Ling'er is the smartest. After the beginning of spring, you can go to the study to study with your brothers."

"My lord," Concubine Di asked, "Why did you come back at this hour when you go to court today?"

Defang said, "The imperial court is going to conquer the Liao Kingdom in the north."

"Has it been decided?"

"That's right, Your Majesty has been discussing with the ministers because of their uncle and cousin's request. It has been several months, and the ministers still agree with the views of the cousin and cousin. Wensi envoy Xue Jizhao and armory envoy Liu Wenyu , Deputy Envoy of Chongyi, Hou Mochen, and other ministers also spoke one after another. They all believed that the Liao Emperor was young, his mother Empress Dowager Xiao controlled the government, and the general Han Derang dominated the court. Liao officials all complained, so they all asked His Majesty to send troops to the north , His Majesty seems to have decided to do so today, but..."
