Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang said to the guards, "immediately take Wang Wenyi and Pang Feng to Kaifeng mansion for questioning!"

"Yes!" The guards escorted Wang Wenyi and Pang Feng out.

Defang opened Jiajun's cell door and said, "You can come out now."

"Thank you, my lord" Jia Jun came out

"Why didn't you tell the king earlier?"

"The subordinates did not have their confessions at the time. If they repented, the subordinates could not prevent the prince from releasing them," Jia Jun said.

Defang held the paper, "When did you get this confession?"

"When the prince said that he wanted to punish his subordinates, the subordinates went back to the prison and told Wang Wenyi and Pang Feng that the evidence of their crimes had been obtained. If they did not confess, I would kill them first and then plead guilty to the prince. .”

Defang looked at Jiajun and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"The subordinates know that the prince doesn't like Jia Jun very much, and they are afraid that they will be punished lightly for this. The only thing this subordinate can do is to let the prince come to the prison in person, see the evidence of the crime, and hear Wang Wenyi and Pang Feng's confession. Only in this way can they be punished. deserved guilt."

"Song Jiajun, can you stop being so serious in the mansion? As soon as this king sees you, he loses all interest. If you change it, this king will be able to listen to you better." Defang said

"It is the duty of the subordinates to protect the prince, and I dare not be careless"

Defang looked at Jiajun and said, "Follow me to the study"

Jia Jun followed Defang to the study, and Defang closed the door and asked directly, "Why are you staying with me?"

"The subordinates are just to protect the lord," Jiajun replied

"I don't want to hear this. You said the same thing 12 years ago. Now I want to know what made you want to stay in Nanqing Palace."

Jia Jun replied, "This is an assignment from the Ministry of War, and the subordinates will always follow the prince."

"That's not a reason!" De Fang said, "Back then, the king was in a dire situation, with no power at his fingertips, and he didn't know what would happen in the future, but you gave up your majesty's call and would rather stay with the king. If there is no great reason, this king will never believe it."

"The prince is in a dangerous situation, how can the subordinates ignore it?" Jia Jun blurted out

"Whether this king is in danger or not, what does it have to do with you? Do you know that if you are implicated, you will lose your life?" Defang asked

Jiajun realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped answering

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Defang said angrily, "Song Jiajun! If you don't explain the purpose of staying with me, from now on, you don't have to follow me anymore. I don't need to hide anything from me. The person who will be the general of the government!"

"Prince" Jia Jun said, "The reason is not important, the important thing is that the subordinates are loyal to the lord"

"Then how does this king know if you think this way from the beginning?" Defang looked at Jia Jun, "Song Jiajun, this king has always been conflicted. Since the first time I saw you 12 years ago, this king has not trusted you." , but you have saved this king time and time again. For so many years, this king just can’t figure it out. May I ask who can ignore the bright future of His Majesty’s recruitment instead of staying in a place where he didn’t know if there would be tomorrow? Be a little bodyguard next to someone you love. Jiajun, it’s been 12 years. I’ve watched you sacrifice so much, even your life. How many times have I wanted to ask you why, but I just couldn’t open my mouth. There is always a question in my heart , how can you let this king treat you as a confidant?"
