Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Hmph, this person, what's the matter again?" De Fang smiled and shook her head, "Ma'am, let's go and sit together. It's getting colder, so it's not suitable to sit outside for a long time."

"Father, can Ling'er go?"

"Of course." Defang led Weiling "to take you to meet this old man Kou."

"My lord," said Concubine Di with a smile, "how can anyone teach children like this, Mr. Kou is still Ling'er's uncle after all."

"Uncle? Hmph, isn't the lonely king calling him uncle?"

"It's true according to seniority."

"Well, Ma'am, you can call if you want, the lonely king is not happy." Defang led Weiling to the teahouse, and Concubine Di followed with a helpless smile.

When he came to the teahouse, Kou Zhun saluted and said, "Your Majesty, see the prince and the empress for a thousand years, and the princess is blessed."

"Lord Kou, please take a seat." Defang hugged Wei Ling on her lap and took the seat with Concubine Di. "I said, Master Kou, it has been a month since we last met. Are you here today for something? Yes Is it because you are too lazy to go to the door of my Nanqing Palace?"

"My lord was just joking, how could I be like this, anyway, I'm half relative with my lord, so there's no one who doesn't come to visit me."

"Relatives? Sounds good. If it's okay, can you think of the relatives of the Gu Wang?" Defang glanced at Kou Zhun, then patted Wei Ling, "The Gu Wang's bell is the best."

"Prince" Kou Zhun smiled and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty summoned the officials today."

"Oh? Did His Majesty tell you something else? Congratulations to Mr. Kou, for being so appreciated by His Majesty."

"This is all the kindness of the prince."

"What does your majesty appreciate Mr. Kou and the lonely king?"

"My lord, all the officials know, it was the lord who recommended me before His Majesty."

"The Lonely King is just a momentary brain fever, just talking casually."

"The prince's words are serious, so Kou really hopes that the prince's mind will be warmed up a few more times."

"What?" Defang looked at Kou Zhun, "Why don't you hope that the lonely king will take care of you."

"The lower official made a slip of the tongue, the lower official made a slip of the tongue" Kou Zhun rubbed his head and smiled

"Okay, let's get down to business, what are you doing here today?"

"The next official is here to thank the prince for his kindness in his nomination."

"You still have a little conscience, haha"

"Today, His Majesty summoned the subordinate officials and gave many instructions. He said that the position of counselor is an important position. If he has meritorious service, he will be promoted to prime minister. Prime Minister Lu also gave many advices to the subordinate officials."

"Lord Kou is indeed a prime minister, hehehe."

"My lord," Kou Zhun said, "Is there any news from Mr. Zhang recently?"

"Master Zhang? Which Master Zhang?"

"It's my lord who recommended him to be Master Zhang Yong of Yizhou."

"What? Aren't you the best with him? Ask the lonely king."

"Hey, before this person left, he never forgot to hurt the lower official. The lower official didn't even go to see him off. He hasn't given a letter to the lower official since he took office. I am very concerned about the affairs of Shu, Yizhou is in chaos, and Wang Jien is here, so I am dismissed..."

"Well, that's true." De Fang smiled, "I said Mr. Kou, you and Mr. Zhang are capable ministers, don't be narrow-minded, just say a few words about you, why don't you even go to see him off?"

"My lord, Mr. Zhang said that the officials are ignorant and should read more scriptures and "Huo Guang Biography". How can the officials be convinced!"

"Unlearned and incompetent? Hahahaha" Defang laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it will indeed make people unconvinced."

"That's right, so when the subordinate gets angry, he..."
