Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang handed the letter to Li Jilong and Yuan Jizhong, and they were shocked after reading it, "It's really disgusting!"

Defang looked at Lin Yanshou, "Master Lin, I'm afraid you don't even know that you have become a substitute for the dead, do you?"

"Replacing the dead ghost? My lord... what is the meaning of this?"

It turned out that Wang Jien did not really value Lin Yanshou in recommending Lin Yanshou, but used him to monitor the border generals. Lin Yanshou brought two of his own, but Wang Jien was afraid that he would not be reliable, so he specially asked his two followers to go as well. I said what I wanted through Lin Yanshou's mouth. If the general refuses to accept and send troops to fight against the enemy, the court will definitely punish Lin Yanshou and the general. At that time, Wang Jien can get rid of him and the guard, and I can recommend the other two. The famous internal servant is temporarily in charge of the military power. In this way, it is as if he is in charge of the army himself. Wang Jien also told the two to keep an eye on Defang. If there is any news, he will send it back to Beijing. The words and deeds of Defang and his party after they leave Beijing will be written by them. After they came down, especially what he said to reprimand Lin Yanshou, after arriving in Dingzhou, Li Jilong and Yuan Jizhong were determined to fight, but Defang did not reprimand them. The two felt that Defang would allow them to fight, so they wrote a letter that night. Zhong not only said that Defang and the generals resisted orders and deceived the emperor, and regarded the emperor's orders as empty words, but also had the intention of supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves. Everyone, send people to escort Defang and the general back to Beijing for punishment.But Song Jiajun kept watching them all the time, and sent the imperial guards to watch their every move. That night, the imperial guards discovered that Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing had secretly summoned a sergeant, handed him a letter, and asked him to return to the capital quickly. When the sergeant was about to go out of the city, the royal guard stopped him, took the letter and handed it to Song Jiajun.

Lin Yanshou was shocked when he heard this, stood up and punched Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing each, "You two bastards! How dare you lie to me! You said that you can be promoted by following the words of the prince. I will give you a promotion!"

Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing quickly climbed up to Defang, "My lord! Please spare us!"

Defang turned his head to the side and did not speak. Lin Yanshou said to his two servants, "Li Run, Zhu Jin, they want our lives! Hit me!"

When the three of them went up, they punched and kicked Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing. The faces of the two were covered with blood, and they wailed endlessly. Then Defang said, "Okay! Stop beating!"

The three of Lin Yanshou stood aside and said, "My lord! They actually want to kill everyone here, why not kill them!"

Defang looked at the others, "What do the two generals mean?"

"My lord, the two of them are Wang Jien's people. This letter has sinister intentions. If the lord hadn't intercepted it, my family and I would have lost our lives. In the end, we will think that there is no way for them to survive. If we let them go back to the capital, we will do it again." evil."

"My lord! Please spare me! I don't dare! I don't dare!" Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing begged for mercy.

"Jiajun" Defang turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiajun whispered close to him, and Defang nodded, "Come here! Lock them up! Keep them under strict supervision. If something goes wrong, we will definitely kill you!"

"Yes!" The imperial guards stepped forward to detain Zhou Zhi and Tao Xing.

Defang looked at Lin Yanshou, "The three of you came here at the emperor's order, what are your plans now?"

"Prince" the three of them knelt down, "If it wasn't for the lord, the three of us would have become ghosts who died for others. Our official positions are humble, and we have been bullied even among the servants. Now that something like this has happened, how can we dare to do anything?" I intend to, from now on, I am willing to follow the prince and do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by Wang Ji'en after you go back?"
