Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Hu Yanzan, "Don't look at you as a rough person, you are quite kind-hearted. You are always thinking of the lonely king so much. You are not afraid that His Majesty will punish you. Hehehe, it's okay, it's okay."

"Don't be afraid! An old official is not afraid of being beaten if his skin is thick! He is not afraid of being scolded if his ears are slightly turned back! His official salary is not afraid of being reduced! Your Highness! This old official will help you! Let's go!"

Defang held Huyanzan, supported his arms with both hands and nodded, "General Huyan, thank you, the lonely king will be fine, go back."

"But you..."

"Anyway, Your Majesty is also the uncle of the lonely king. It's nothing to blame. You can go to the palace. The lonely king will have a drink with you and give you a few jars of good wine, but! You have to drink slowly. You're so dizzy from drinking, don't blame the lonely king for not giving you good wine in the future!"

Hu Yanzan smiled, "Okay! My lord, you will listen to the old minister! But the old minister will not leave, and we will go together when you leave the palace!"

Defang patted Huyan and praised, "Okay, then General Huyan will take Baili to the palace gate to find Jiajun, and the lonely king will be there soon."

"Okay!" Hu Yanzan just turned around, Defang said, "General Huyan."

"Your Highness, what else is there to order?"

Defang handed the golden mace to Hu Yanzan, "General Huyan, help the lonely king get it outside the palace."

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Pleading guilty and still holding the golden mace, isn't that embarrassing Your Majesty, hehehe"

Defang stopped in front of the Chongzheng Hall, and Zhang Wenxi came over, "My lord, why don't you go in?"

"Eunuch Zhang, did the crown prince and the prime minister just go in?"

"Yes"

"The lonely king will wait."

"My lord, why is this?"

Defang pulled Zhang Wenxi aside, "Just now when he went to court, the lonely king was a little dazed. The lonely king thought, His Majesty would reprimand him when he was summoned by the Chongzheng Palace. It's better to meet him alone."

"My lord, you are joking. When did His Majesty reprimand you, from a small point of view, it should be His Majesty who came to talk to you."

"Speak? What can you say to the lonely king?"

"You go to court early every three or five days. Doesn't His Majesty call you into the palace every month to talk?"

"That's different. Before, people were sent to the Nanqing Palace in advance to say, but this time, the court directly sent the lonely king over. It seems that if it's not a reprimand, it should be an assignment."

"My lord, you know His Majesty best, hehe"

"Eunuch Zhang laughed at the lonely king, hahaha"

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, lord, you are now an important minister of the court. His Majesty entrusts you with half of the imperial guards in the inner palace and [-]% of the imperial guards near the imperial city. This is unmatched by anyone. A word from the court is absolutely resounding, who dare not listen to it."

Defang sighed, "Even if the lonely king has more power and title, what's the use? The mother and queen are gone. Now, the lonely king only wants to spend this life with his wife and children in peace, nothing else. beg."

"My lord, this world was established by Emperor Taizu. You still have a lot to do."

Defang looked at Zhang Wenxi, "That's right... the world of the Song Dynasty belongs to my Zhao family. As a descendant of the Zhao family, the lonely king has the responsibility to protect his family, country and society. Indeed, there are still many things to do."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Wenxi said softly, "The more His Majesty trusts you, the angrier Wang Ji'en will be. But recently, His Majesty seems to hate him very much, and would scold him from time to time, which I rarely heard before."

"Hmph, Wang Jien thought he could cover the sky with one hand, but unfortunately, today is different from the past, he really needs to be more careful, by the way, why haven't we seen him these days?"
