Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Jia Jun looked at De Fang, "My lord, that reason is not worth mentioning, but it is definitely not harmful to my lord. Jia Jun only wants my lord to be safe, and I don't want anything else."

"This king knows that you have nothing to ask for, that you are loyal, and that you are a rare general, but what this king wants is..." Defang suddenly paused, looking at Jia Jun, "This king hopes to have a People who can be like brothers are around, and there are no secrets between brothers."

"Prince" Jiajun knelt down

"Jiajun" Defang supported Jiajun's shoulders, "For the past 12 years, this king has already regarded you as an elder brother. I have seen you do so many things for this king, but it is because of the doubts in my heart that I have made this king Always puzzled, this feeling makes me very painful."

"What is the virtue and ability of this subordinate, let the prince value Jia Jun so much, this subordinate is ashamed" Jia Jun said

"Jiajun" Defang knelt down and looked at Jiajun, "I hope you can tell me the reason"

Jia Jun thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and told the truth about his father Song Qiwu being saved by the Taizu. Defang kept listening, and his heart became very complicated. Defang helped Jiajun and said, " This is all about the father's generation, so why are you so persistent to stay, if you can become a general in the court, wouldn't you be able to honor your family, and even serve the Song Dynasty, your father will also be pleased."

"My lord, Jia Jun wants to repay his benefactor as well as serve Da Song. Only by staying with the lord can he be able to take care of both."

Defang nodded, "Although what you said is reasonable, it is the Emperor Taizu who gave you kindness and your father who received the kindness. Now, it is you who sacrificed your life for this king. This king cannot bear it."

"As a son of man, it is filial piety to repay your father's favor. What's more, the subordinates respect the prince very much, even if they are willing to be bodyguards for the rest of their lives."

Defang patted Jiajun, "It would be a pity if a general like you, Jiajun, stays in the palace like this."

"It's not a pity at all. Since Jia Jun has followed the prince, he has guarded the pass, fought against enemies, eliminated traitors, and punished officials. This is more than what the general has done for his family and country." Jia Jun said seriously

Defang looked at Jiajun's serious face and wanted to laugh, "Jiajun, can you stop being like this, people from all over the house dare not speak when they see you."

"Your Highness treats people generously, but there are many people in the Palace, if you don't discipline them well, something will happen sooner or later."

"Jiajun, you really do your best, but there are so many people and affairs in this palace, you can't manage it like this."

"After so many years, my subordinates have gotten used to it, please don't worry, my lord," Jia Jun said

Defang nodded, "Okay, I'm just asking these questions, Jia Jun, now I finally have no doubts in my heart, since my brother was gone, I have been in a state of anxiety for many years, but I don't know why, how many times The first time I saw you by my side, this king felt like a brother to you."

"My lord, my subordinates are terrified," Jia Jun said, "Actually..."

"Actually what?" Defang asked

Jiajun knelt down, "please forgive me, my lord"

"What is this for? Get up"

"My lord" Jia Jun looked up at Defang, "That year, my lord was sick in bed and didn't wake up for a few days. Just the night before my lord woke up, my subordinates heard the lord whispering something, so they walked in and heard the lord Calling: Brother" At this point, Jiajun lowered his head, "Later, I saw what the lord was reaching out to hold, and my subordinates walked over..."

"I remember, the king woke up that day and found that you were holding my hand and fell asleep." Defang smiled. "At that time, the king felt as if his brother was holding hands, but he didn't realize it for a long time."

"Subordinates are sorry"

Defang helped Jia Jun up, held his wrist and said, "Jia Jun, from now on, this king will treat you as a brother, and you will also treat me as a younger brother. This king hopes that you and I can be like biological brothers."

Jia Jun looked at De Fang, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will protect you to the death!"

"I don't want you to die, you have to live well, so that you can protect me forever, don't you?" De Fang laughed

Jia Jun looked at Defang and nodded, "Yes, this subordinate will obey the prince's order!"
