Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Uncle, please tell me."

Taizong talked with Defang for a long time, and finally asked, "Defang... have you really agreed to the emperor's uncle?"

Defang looked at Taizong, then nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My nephew swears to His Majesty to fulfill the responsibility of Zhao's descendants and protect the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Okay, okay, it's enough to have the emperor's nephew." Taizong nodded very satisfied, "Defang, go back to rest early, the emperor's uncle will send some supplements to the house in a while, and eat more with the nephew and concubine. Nourish your spirit."

"Thank you, Emperor Uncle." De Fang got up and cupped his hands, "Uncle Emperor, take care of the dragon body, and my nephew will take my leave first."

"Defang" Taizong suddenly called out again, and Defang cupped his hands, "Is there any order from the emperor?"

"... nothing... let's go..."

Defang looked at Emperor Taizong, cupped his hands and said, "If the uncle of the emperor has any orders, my nephew will be there at any time."

Taizong nodded, waved his hand slightly, Defang exited the inner hall, and Baili ran over, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been talking to you for so long."

"Yes." Defang rubbed her stomach while walking, "It's already past lunch time, and my stomach was rumbling just now, so I won't feel hungry again."

"You are too hungry. When you go back to the small one, let the dining room cook some porridge for you. Don't hurt your stomach."

"Okay, drink some porridge, and then sleep for a while... No... Then it's evening, forget it, don't eat, wait for dinner."

"My lord, there are still two hours left."

The two of them walked out of the palace gate while talking, and Defang stretched out her arms, "Baili, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion to have a look."

"Kaifeng mansion? My lord, what are you going to do in Kaifeng mansion at this time?"

"It depends on the individual."

"Who?"

"Li Zuoning, let's go to Heitugang... No, it's called Longgang now, the county magistrate of Yongcheng."

"Little one remembered! Your lord recommended him to be the official of Kaifeng Mansion."

"Yes, he has been in office for more than a month, let's go and see him."

"My lord, why did you go to see him? He should be the one who brought generous gifts to Nanqing Palace to meet you and your empress."

"Why don't we drop by to have a look? Besides, we just returned to Beijing, and he will have to meet tomorrow even if he visits."

"My lord, this is not the way. Nanqing Palace is to the northwest, and Kaifeng Mansion is to the southwest. It will take a while."

"There are so many words, the lonely king will drop by the way if he says so."

Baili frowned, "Yes, my lord, you are right, by the way."

Defang smiled and patted Baili, "That's right, haha"

"Prince" Jia Jun ran over, "Please get on the sedan chair."

"Well, Jia Jun, go to Kaifeng Mansion." Defang got into the sedan chair after finishing speaking, Jia Jun looked at Baili, "Wang Ye said to go to Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Yes." Baili nodded, "Kaifeng Mansion, let's go."

Jiajun had no choice but to do so. The sedan chair team walked south along Yujie Street, then turned west, passed Jingling West Palace, and arrived at Kaifeng Mansion not long after. .”

"Well, the prince is here, hurry up and pass it on."

Defang lifted the sedan chair curtain, "Jiajun, there is no need to pass on the news, the lonely king just came to see someone."

"Yes" Jiajun waved his hand, the bearer pressed the sedan chair, Defang came out, and the guard quickly knelt down, "Kowtow to the eight virtuous kings."

"Get up, you stay here, the lonely king can go in by himself."

"Prince" the guard said, "At this time, there are cases being tried in the five halls of the government office, and there are more than a hundred people in the hall, and there are no less than ten miscellaneous cases in the small hall. There may be three or four hundred people in the court. Let’s escort you to the main hall.”
