Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, calm down!" Qian Chu hurriedly stopped several ministers, "You are all crazy! Why don't you step aside!"

Seeing that the ministers still listened to Qian Chu's words, Defang felt relieved, so she said calmly, "My lord, this hall is not an unreasonable person. I have known the lord and Wei Jun for many years, and I don't want to see you suffer, but The lord should be clear that the current situation is irreversible, sooner or later Wu Yue will be included in our Great Song territory, why should the lord do any more unnecessary things?"

"Your Highness..." Qian Chu cupped his hands and said, "Is there really no other way?"

Defang sat down and looked at a few people and said, "To tell you the truth, three days ago, Chen Hongjin, the governor of the Pinghai Navy, had already donated Zhangzhou and Quanzhou under his command. The 15 counties under his jurisdiction consisted of 970 eight households. The seven soldiers and generals of 720 and [-] have all belonged to our Great Song Dynasty."

"What!" Several ministers were surprised to hear this, "Chen Hongjin donated his land?"

"That's right." Defang nodded, "Your Majesty has re-appointed Chen Hongjin as the envoy of the Wuning Army and Tongping Zhangshi. His eldest son, Chen Wenxian, is the envoy of regiment training, and he is the prefect of Quanzhou; his second son, Chen Wenyi, is the governor of Zhangzhou, and the prefect of Zhangzhou."

Several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, Qian Chu was even more flustered when he heard this, and De Fang was even more confident seeing this, so he said in a more calm tone, "Everyone must know that the father and emperor of this hall will wear yellow robes and add body to the audience. After entering the Great Song Dynasty, a few cups of water and wine took back the military power of the generals, and everyone who voluntarily surrendered was treated favorably, and his descendants were blessed as a result.

"Really... Can I really enjoy peace? But... But Emperor Taizu said... that he would not attack Wu Yue, and you were there, Your Highness."

"Yes, the hall is indeed present, but" Defang looked at Qian Chu and said, "The emperor said back then that he would not attack Wuyue within two years, and what will happen after that depends on the attitude of the king, isn't it very clear? ?”

At this time, a general suddenly drew out his sword and said, "We are not afraid of fighting!"

"Humph" Defang turned and looked at this person, "What's wrong? You want to learn from the Southern Tang Dynasty? Li Yu refused to give up his territory back then. This hall was ordered to lead an army with General Cao Bin to attack, but within a few months, my Song army The momentum is like a broken bamboo, approaching the city of Jinling, Li Yu finally surrendered frankly, and now he is in Beijing. The king of subjugation is like a dog who loses his family. He can neither be an official in the palace nor make his clan happy. Not even one ten-thousandth of the Southern Tang, right? If you want to fight, this hall will ask the emperor to lead the army to wipe out your land of Wuyue!"

The general said to Qian Chu, "Master! As long as you say a word, the general will not fear life and death!"

"So bold!" Defang shouted, "If the general wants your lord to taste Li Yu's life, this palace can fulfill you!"
