Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

It was only then that Defang realized that her forehead was still a little swollen, and she had only applied the medicine in the morning, so she stammered, "Return to Your Majesty... Uh... Chen... Accidentally hit, hit the door... "

Taizong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, nephew, how can such a big man hit the door?"

All the ministers under the steps were also smiling, Defang was embarrassed and lowered her head a little blushing.

Taizong smiled, and suddenly there was another feeling in his heart. He looked at Defang again. He was very familiar with this nephew. Seeing his expression at this time, he couldn't help but think of Defang when he was young. With a smile, I can't help regretting that I agreed to Defang to go to Qinzhou just now.

Seeing that Taizong stopped smiling, all the ministers quickly put away their smiles and did not dare to make a sound. Defang lowered her head, not knowing what happened. Taizong sighed softly and said, "Nephew, go to the Chongzheng Palace after you retire. Come, I have something to tell you."

"Yes" Defang bowed

After retiring from the court, Defang came to the Chongzheng Palace. Taizong explained the inspection of the generals, and then gave Defang a military talisman, which can mobilize five thousand soldiers from surrounding towns to prevent any changes. Defang was ordered, and Taizong shot Pat Defang on the shoulder, "Nephew, take care, I'll wait for you to come back"

"My lord, I will fulfill the emperor's order." Defang withdrew. Taizong sat on the chair and closed his eyes. Thinking of the words: get rid of him just now, Taizong frowned, then opened his eyes and said to himself, "Zhen, how come?" would become so ruthless"

After Defang returned to the Nanqing Palace, he immediately prepared the things and made amends with Concubine Di for a long time. Baili was outside the door when he heard "My lord, your head is hot again" "Your lord is loyal to the king, others can't" After a while, there was no sound. In the shadow of the candle, Defang hugged Concubine Di, Baili smiled, greeted both left and right and retreated.

The next day, Defang took Song Jiajun, Chongming, Shang En, and ten imperial guards from the mansion to Qinzhou on horseback with imperial edicts and golden maces.

When Defang and his party arrived in Qinzhou, they met the guard Wang Tongda and the prefect Xing Changyuan.

Defang got off the horse, and the two went forward to kneel down and bowed, "Kowtow to the prince for a thousand years."

"Please stand up, both of you," Defang said.

"Prince" Xing Changyuan stepped forward and said, "Listening to the report, Your Majesty has granted a plaque to Li Yi, the official of Changdao County Winery, and the officials are also very honored."

"Yes, this king is here to proclaim the imperial decree, to supervise the presentation of the imperial wine to the capital, for your Majesty." Defang motioned to carry out the wrapped plaque, "I wrote on the imperial plaque: Royal wine master, two, this plaque Can make Qinzhou famous"

The two looked at the plaque and nodded, "It's really His Majesty's favor."

The guard Wang Tongda said, "My lord, there is still some distance from Changdao County here. Why don't you go to the city to rest for a few days before going to Changdao County. I don't know what your lord wants?"

Defang thought for a while, and it was just what he wanted. He took this opportunity to see the situation of the soldiers in Qinzhou, and also got to know the generals and Zhizhou, so he said, "That's okay, the imperial plaque stays here, and you two will guard it."

"Yes, we will send someone to guard at the end," Wang Tongda said

"Prince" Xing Changyuan said, "Go to the city first to settle down, and in the evening, the officials and generals will greet the prince."

"Okay, I'm really tired after running all this way." Defang turned around and said, "Jia Jun, let's make some arrangements."

"Yes" Jiajun took the plaque and accompanied Wang Tongda to the city to settle down, and Defang followed Xing Changyuan to a house to settle down.
