Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Taizong looked at Defang, "How can I bear to see my nephew so sad?" Then he patted Defang on the back, "I will make an order to bury the queen of Song, and fulfill the wish of my nephew."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Defang shed tears. Seeing Defang so sad, Taizong felt very sad. Thinking about the many disputes and troubles during his reign for many years, there were countless small things in the war. Sometimes Taizong himself thought, what to do What exactly did the emperor get? Now that there are many affairs in the court, he is old, and some ministers are planning other plans, which makes Taizong feel exhausted.

Now that I am old, I cannot fully control many things. In recent months, Wang Jien has secretly linked up with Li Changling, the political adviser, Li Jixun, the commander in front of the palace, and Hu Dan, the Zhizhigao, etc., and together with Empress Li, he planned to establish Yuan Zuo. , This made Taizong very anxious, but because Wang Jien knew all the things of the year, if he didn't handle it well, Wang Jien might tell the things of the year.

Taizong couldn't tell the left and right, so he was depressed. However, after seeing Defang, Taizong made an unexpected decision. He wrote the imperial decree in front of Defang, and buried Song Empress in the north of Taizu Yongchang Mausoleum. At that time, Li Zhi, the servant of the Ministry of officials, was ordered to write a mourning book, and the gods and masters would enjoy it in the other temple.

In February, Emperor Taizong summoned Defang in the Chongzheng Hall, closed the door, and handed him the imperial palace guard soldier talisman, "Imperial nephew, the only person I trust now is you, and I will give you the soldier talisman, which means my life." Give it to you."

Defang was very surprised, "Your Majesty, how can I trust you so much?"

Taizong got up, at this time his body was very weak due to the recurrence of old injuries, Defang stepped forward to help "Your Majesty"

Taizong supported Defang's hand, "Nephew, can you forgive me for what I did wrong back then?"

Defang looked at Taizong, "Your Majesty, I have never blamed you. Your Majesty is the Ming Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I only feel ashamed."

"Nephew, I am very pleased to have you here. You have a good relationship with Heng'er. I hope my nephew can protect him."

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and I will protect him with all my strength, and will never let him suffer any damage."

"Okay, okay, I feel relieved when I hear my nephew say this." Taizong took out a secret decree from his arms, "Nephew, keep this secret decree well, I want you to help me assist Heng'er"

"Your Majesty, is this?"

"Open it and have a look," Taizong said

Defang opened the secret decree, which was written by Emperor Taizong himself. He once again established the prince as Zhao Heng, and made Defang the commander of the 35 Imperial Army and the 30 Xiang Army. Can kill.Defang was very surprised to see this.

"Put it away and put it away, it will be useful in the future." Taizong patted Defang on the shoulder and said, "Now, Wang Jien wants to repeat his old tricks and support Yuanzuo."

"Wang Jien is ferocious by nature and tends to follow others. Now he still wants to form a party to fight against His Majesty and the crown prince. It is simply rebellious. I will take him down and punish him for serious crimes," said Defang.

"Emperor's nephew" Taizong looked at Defang, held his hand tightly and said, "Wang Jien knows everything about that year. If he doesn't handle it well, it will be known to the world. There may be chaos at that time. Heng'er's crown prince It's hard to keep safe"

Defang looked at Taizong, and understood in her heart that both Taizong and herself knew the events of the year well, and she had already expressed her intentions. Now besides herself, Taizong might find it difficult to find another trustworthy person, because he had participated in the events of the past. Most of the people involved in this matter are already dead, and now the only Wang Jien wants to fight against him. Taizong is worried about this and dare not act rashly to him, but he can't tell his difficulties to the left and right, so Taizong took the risk and chose the last Injured Defang, by doing so, I am afraid that Taizong himself is also full of helplessness in his last fight.
