德芳30岁 王妃31岁 长子13 次子11幼子9-女儿7

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the second year of Duangong (989), Yang Yanlang and Dingyou returned to the capital for the third year and served as magistrate of Jingzhou on Gaoyangguan Road. Later, he was named a general and ordered to guard Yanbian, Hebei, and shoulder the important task of resisting the Liao Dynasty.

In the same year, due to the urgent need for food and payment for the war, the imperial court resumed the compromise method that had ceased during the Yongxi period. The capital receives silver taels, or replaces it with Jianghuai salt tea. ---In 991, the second year of Yu Chunhua, it was renamed: Zhebocang (exchanging gold and silver for real objects, or exchanging objects for objects). Later, due to the manipulation of prices by merchants, the court lost millions every year, and was soon abolished. 】

Due to the continuous invasion by the enemy, Emperor Taizong summoned all civil and military officials and asked them to offer advice on how to guard against various strategies at the border. Wang Yucheng, who was then at the Youzhengyan Zhishi Museum, believed that he should be appointed outsiders and revise his policies internally, so he wrote "Yu Rong "Ten Strategies": Consolidate the army, emphasize the power of generals, and implement rewards and punishments: sympathize with the border people, appoint virtuous ministers, separate the Khitan tribes, use Xia to rule the Liao Dynasty, issue mourning edicts to encourage the border people to recover lost land, eliminate redundant officials; carefully elect; appoint ministers; Prohibit idleness; advise people to work in agriculture.Wang Yucheng's suggestions were in line with the current situation of the Song court, so most of them were adopted by Taizong.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang brought Baili to the jade room in the mansion, walked to the shelf in the middle, took down a square box, and brought it to the study. Defang opened the box, and inside was a square white jade The seal is the size of a palm, half a finger thick, with bright yellow braided tassels on it. Defang took out another thick book from the shelf and placed it next to it. After writing the character [Xiang], Defang sat on the chair, staring at the jade chapter and the book in a daze, frowning slightly, Baili didn't dare to ask, and stood beside her.

Concubine Di couldn't find Defang in the mansion, so she went to ask Nan Gongwen, the two came to the study together, saw Defang was in a daze, and her expression was not very good, so Concubine Di stepped forward and said, "My lord, are you feeling well?"

Defang was startled, looked at Concubine Di and Nangongwen, breathed out and said, "Ma'am, Nangong, I'm fine."

Nan Gongwen came over and said, "Your Majesty's complexion is not very good, do you want to ask the national player to come and have a look?"

"No, no, it's really fine." Defang shook her hand

Nan Gongwen looked at the seal and book on the table, turned around and closed the door, and said, "My lord, is this the property of the late emperor?"

Defang looked at Nangongwen, nodded, and put his hand on the book.

"The first emperor?" Concubine Di and Baili also looked at it and asked, "My lord, are these seals and books bestowed on you by the late emperor?"

Defang patted the book "This booklet was handed over to the king one month before the late emperor passed away. This "Defang look at the jade chapter" is the jade treasure given by the late emperor to the king by His Majesty at the beginning of his accession to the throne. "

"Can the villain take a look?" Nangong Wen asked

Defang nodded. Nan Gongwen picked up the jade chapter and looked at it. The jade chapter was engraved with four big characters [Emperor Xinbao]. He couldn't help being very surprised. He picked up the book again. Put it on the table and say, "My lord, these two things are actually in your hands"

"Are you surprised?" Defang asked, "Do you know what this booklet is?"
