Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Chen, thank you for your majesty's grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone kowtowed, Defang took the imperial decree, stood up and handed the imperial decree to Baili, Rongxi waved his hand, and put on two royal clothes and crowns, the guards Chongming and Shang En parted After receiving it, Rong Xi looked at the golden mace held by Tian Gu, the guard next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He knew that Defang and Dezhao, two outdated princes, were often ignored in the past. Now, although Dezhao has already He is gone, but the power of life and death in Defang's hands is only increasing, which inevitably makes him a little nervous, Rong Xi hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, you are so trusted by your majesty, I heard that your majesty is a great virtue, it is really a blessing to the Song Dynasty ah"

Defang looked at Rong Xi and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Rong, in the future, Xiao Wang still has many things to ask Eunuch."

"Your Highness speaks too much, you've broken your slaves." Rong Xi said hypocritically

Defang smiled and said, "Elder-in-law is working hard, please use tea inside." Defang knew very well that this eunuch favored by Emperor Taizong currently has a lot of power, and his own power is unstable. If he is provoked by this villain, it will lead to disaster sooner or later. , it is better to stabilize him first, and then make a long-term plan.

Rong Xi seemed very satisfied with Defang's attitude towards him now. He always believed that Defang was not as reckless as his elder brother Dezhao, and he would not be aggressive in everything. Maybe the emperor made him a prince just for show, no What will happen to him, so he has never been wary of him, so he nodded and strode in.

Ever since Defang became king, Nanqing Palace has been bustling. There are always large and small sedan chairs and horses parked in front of the gate. This makes Defang feel very uneasy. He finds Wenmo Nangongwen and asks what to do. Nan Gongwen, Chang Defang is 5 years old. He came to Defang as an accompanying prince when he was young. He is proficient in history books and loves books. He has been silent for many years. He will only tell Defang what to do when it is critical. Defang Many things were communicated with him in private. Although Nangong Wen was Defang's "military adviser", the two of them did not talk about it. Nangong Wen was just doing books and writing. At this moment, Defang thought of him again. So the two talked in the study.

Defang took a sip of tea, looked at Nangong Wen and said, "A lot of officials have come here these days, the congratulatory gifts are piled up like a hill, and there are countless sedan chairs and horses in front of the door. Isn't it good to go on like this?"

Nan Gongwen said, "What your highness said is exactly what you worry about. I think that just after your highness was crowned king, ministers of all sizes came to give gifts. No wonder you see that your highness has a lot of power at present. Compared with the past, it is really a world of difference. But as a minister, In the current situation, I am afraid that someone will say something that is not good for His Highness."

Defang stood up, with her hands behind her back, frowning slightly, and paced the room, "Then what should I do..."

"Judging from His Majesty's current attitude towards you, it is true that His Majesty wants to reuse His Majesty, but His Majesty still needs to show His Majesty his sincerity." Nan Gongwen looked up at Defang

Defang turned around and said, "Sincerely? Then what should I do?"

Nan Gongwen got up, walked up to Defang and said, "Your Highness is no longer the Highness you were back then. Your subordinates can see your changes. After many hardships, Your Highness's heart has long been transformed. Now, every movement of your hand and every throw of your foot is calm. I believe His Highness already has the answer in his heart."

Defang looked at Nangongwen, turned around slowly, thought for a moment and said, "Draft a copy for me"

Nan Gongwen smiled and answered "Yes"
