Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I'll ask you again, if I want to make you a great general, are you willing to leave Nanqing Palace and come to me?" Taizong looked at Song Jiajun.

"I would like to follow His Royal Highness for the rest of my life," Jia Jun said

Taizong slapped the table, "Song Jiajun! You have repeatedly rejected me, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Your Majesty, calm down," De Fang said, "General Song's words offended, this is the fault of the minister, please forgive me!"

"Nephew, this matter has nothing to do with you, step aside." Taizong still looked at Song Jiajun and said, "Song Jiajun, I haven't punished you for hunting. I can kill you at any time."

Defang looked at Song Jiajun very nervously, hoping that he would agree to Taizong quickly, but Song Jiajun said, "Your Majesty's life belongs to me, and I will wait for your orders at any time."

"Jiajun!" Defang said, "How can you talk to His Majesty like this! Your Majesty Long En, you still don't accept it!"

"My lord, since Jiajun entered the Nanqing Palace, he swore to protect his integrity. Unless he died, he would never leave his lord. Jiajun can't break his oath."

Taizong's expression was very bad, and he said for a long time, "Nephew, take the tray next to you to my table." Defang turned around and saw a tray covered with a yellow cloth, so she slowly picked it up and took it to the imperial table. Putting down the desk, Taizong stood up and opened the yellow cloth, on which were three wine glasses full of wine, Taizong said, "Song Jiajun, I let the heavens decide your fate, nephew."

"The minister is here" Defang bowed

Taizong pointed to the tray, "Only one of these three glasses of wine is non-toxic. Didn't Song Jiajun say that you are the master? Well, you can help him choose. If he is fine, I will spare him. I will treat everything today as nothing." It happened. But if he dies, I will definitely take away his title and expose his corpse to the wilderness!"

"Your Majesty!" De Fang was startled, "I beg Your Majesty to spare you General Song!"

"Don't say too much, choose!" Taizong said

"Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive General Song," Defang bowed his hands

"Nephew, if you don't choose, I will let him commit suicide!" Taizong looked at Defang, and Defang was in great pain at this moment. He couldn't watch Song Jiajun die, but at present, resisting the decree is a dead end. At that time, Song Jiajun said, "My lord, please choose for Jiajun."

Defang looked at Song Jiajun, this entourage who had followed him for more than ten years, had rescued him and protected him. In order to repay his father's favor, he would not hesitate to give up the emperor's recruitment, and was willing to come to her side as a bodyguard. Defang could not give up on him, and treated him For me, Jiajun is just like an older brother, selfless, brave, and trustworthy, so he must never be abandoned. Defang held back tears and clenched his fists, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! All incidents are caused by my ministers. I can't stay out of the matter, General Song has saved me, I can't watch him have something to do, I would like to drink this wine on behalf of General Song, please Your Majesty!"

"My lord!" Jia Jun kowtowed and said, "You can't do this! Jia Jun is dead!"

"Ridiculous!" Taizong walked up to Defang, "You are a dignified member of the royal family, and you are a prince, and you are going to be punished for a general, how decent!"

"Your Majesty!" Defang choked up and said, "General Song is loyal to my minister. He has saved my life several times. He is a benefactor to my minister. Come to decide, I am willing to accept the arrangement of heaven, please Your Majesty to make it happen!"

"My lord! How can the lord be punished for Jiajun's low life! Jiajun chooses himself!" As she said that, she was about to reach for the wine glass. Shocked "Defang!"

"My lord!" Jia Jun supported Defang, "Damn Jia Jun! Damn Jia Jun!" Then he drank the other two glasses of wine on the plate, "My lord! Jia Jun will never live!"
