Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"This is due to the bravery of the soldiers at the frontier, and this extraordinary achievement is beyond the capabilities of this king alone." Defang looked at Zhang Wenxi, "Eunuch Zhang, can this king face the saint now?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that your Majesty has worked hard all the way, so you can go back to the mansion to rest first, and then go to the hall tomorrow to face the saint."

Defang thought for a while and asked, "Is Your Majesty blaming me for resisting orders?"

"My lord, how could His Majesty blame you for defeating the Liao people and returning victorious?"

Defang sighed, "Okay, then I will thank Eunuch Zhang on behalf of the king, and the king will pay homage to His Majesty tomorrow morning."

"Prince" Zhang Wenxi raised his hand to the side, and the two walked a few steps to the side. Zhang Wenxi said softly, "Actually, Your Majesty didn't intend to blame the Wang Ye for resisting orders, but Wang Gonggong didn't know what he said to His Majesty. His Majesty was indeed unhappy, but His Majesty sent him to another county on business the day before yesterday, and he was not in the palace during this time. My lord, no matter what, you defeated the Liao army and turned the tide of the battle. It won't do anything to you either."

"Wang Jien," Defang smiled contemptuously, "Sooner or later, the king will want him to look good."

"Prince" Zhang Wenxi said, "When you were in Dingzhou, you were supposed to send back battle reports twice a day, but you didn't have one. Some people in the court made a fuss about it, and some even reported it secretly..." Zhang Wenxi also He lowered his voice and said, "My lord, you support your own strength and take advantage of the war to separate the city, so you cut off the connection with the capital."

"It's expected." Defang nodded, "This king has indeed ordered not to send a letter back to Beijing for the time being, because the deployment of the enemy is urgent, and if His Majesty orders to send people here again, it will be very difficult. Yes. The war is more unfavorable.”

"Yes, Prime Minister Zhao seems to have the same idea as the prince. He has repeatedly reprimanded those who made threats in the court. The secret report received by His Majesty is also Prime Minister Zhao's relief for the prince. Although His Majesty is still displeased, it is just that he is a little depressed. That's all."

"Well, if it weren't for Prime Minister Zhao's assistance in Beijing, it would be difficult for this king to accomplish this feat, let alone defend the city and retreat from the enemy."

"My lord, there will definitely be people in the court tomorrow who will mention the matter of resisting orders. You have to be prepared."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for reminding me that I won't give them a chance to make trouble." Defang turned her head and looked at Zhang Wenxi and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I would like to ask Eunuch for a favor."

"My lord, why do you ask me, the little ones will definitely do what they can do, please tell me, my lord."

Defang whispered a few words to Zhang Wenxi, Zhang Wenxi turned to look at Lin Yanshou and the other three, then nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, this small matter will be resolved."

"Then I'll have to thank Eunuch Zhang." Defang cupped her hands, "The gift will be delivered to the family later."

"My lord," Zhang Wenxi said, "You have already taken good care of the little one. If it wasn't for your lord, I, Zhang Wenxi, wouldn't be here today. I'm afraid the whole family would have been wronged."

"Eunuch Zhang, the laws of heaven are clear, and he has his own justice. This king is just doing favors."

"No matter what, the lord's kindness to the little one is as high as the sky. As long as the lord gives orders, the little one will sacrifice his life to repay it."

"Eunuch Zhang is serious." Defang looked at the palace gate, "Eunuch Zhang, go back quickly, I'm afraid someone will spread gossip after staying for a long time."

"Yes, my lord, take care, go back and have a good rest."

"Please" the two clasped their hands together, Zhang Wenxi returned to the palace, Defang walked up to Lin Yanshou and the other three and said, "You guys also go back to rest, and you have to go to the hall to face the Holy Spirit tomorrow morning."
