Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

德芳33岁王妃34岁长子16次子14幼子12-元侃（赵恒）24

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

In the third year of Chunhua, "Taiping Shengji Prescriptions" was written, and 830 kinds of prescriptions were collected.

In the same year, "Chunhua Secret Pavilion Fatie" was completed, which collected the treasures of calligraphy in the past dynasties.

In March, Zhao Puyi and Wei Guogong became officials. (Enjoy the prime minister's salary to support illness)

In the same year, Congpu, the eldest grandson of Defang, was born. Emperor Taizong visited Nanqing Palace in person, and all the courtiers went to celebrate.

In the early court, Emperor Taizong rarely seemed very happy. Looking at the ministers, he said, "I am very pleased with the fact that there is a bumper harvest in the capital area. I think that I have been fighting for years in the Song Dynasty. Food and payment have always been a matter of great concern to me. Now the war is a little bit worse." It is flat, and the agricultural and food production is abundant, so it can be seen that God still blesses the people of Song Dynasty."

Wang Ji'en who was on the side said, "Your Majesty's blessings have come, and the people all over the world are blessed with the emperor's grace. Now the world is peaceful and prosperous, and the people are rich in food and clothing. Your Majesty is truly a wise king."

Hearing this, Defang glared at Wang Jien, thinking, you shameless villain, you only talk flattering nonsense to please the emperor.So Defang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the capital is rich in grain, so it is better to set up a Changping warehouse, and the imperial court will buy the surplus grain and store it in the capital. In case of natural disasters, it can provide relief in time, and in times of famine, it can be sold at a low price."

Taizong thought for a while, "What the emperor nephew said is very much in line with my wishes. Since the emperor nephew proposed this idea, then let the emperor nephew have full authority to deal with the establishment of the Changping warehouse."

"The minister obeys the order" Defang pays homage

"Nephew, your little grandson Cong Pu has just been born, and the mansion is still busy with the full moon. I heard that it was you who made the arrangement yourself. The officials sent by the Ministry of Rites have become idle, and these things should be left to them. Go ahead and don't tire yourself out too much."

"Thank you Your Majesty, my nephew will put the emperor's order first and live up to the grace of the emperor."

"The emperor's order is certainly important, but the grandson's full moon wine must also be done well, so don't delay any of them."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Defang cupped his hands

After coming down to court, Wang Jien came to Defang's side and said, "My lord is really thoughtful, collecting the surplus grain at a low price and selling it in the future will add a lot of money to the court."

"My lord, the lonely king doesn't think so. Everything he does is for the common people's thoughts, and he will never do anything that will harm the holy prestige."

"My lord, the price of food is currently low, and it's the right time to buy now."

"Enough! Eunuch Wang, it seems that you know a lot about the market, but what the lonely king wants to do is not to lower the price of grain, but to buy it at a price higher than the market price."

"High price?" Wang Jien thought for a while, "Why?"

"The lonely king doesn't want to explain it to you, the prince." Defang turned her face away

"My lord, you... Ouch!" Wang Jien suddenly called out, Defang turned her head to look, and saw Wang Jien was covering the back of her head looking at someone, Defang looked back, and saw Kou Zhun smiling there.

Wang Jien was very angry and shouted, "Kou Zhun! You are crazy!"

"No and no," Kou Zhun walked over with small steps, "Kou is very sober, he can tell who is loyal and who is treacherous"

"Who are you scolding!" Wang Jien was very angry

"I didn't say it was you, the prince." Kou Zhun looked at Defang, "Did you, my lord, Kou didn't say anyone."

Defang smiled, and Wang Jien glared at Kou Zhun, "Good job Kou Zhun! Just wait and see! I will teach you a lesson sooner or later!"

"Please, please." Kou Zhun said with a smile, "Oh, it's really quiet in front of the Golden Palace. My lord, let's go back quickly."
