Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

After Defang returned to the mansion, she told Concubine Di about the situation, Concubine Di sighed, "Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."

"Well, as long as he doesn't cause trouble"

"My lord, my concubine sees that he is very arrogant. Relying on his mother's and grandfather's old status, he dares to be so defiant and disrespectful. Wouldn't it be better to send someone to follow him?" Concubine Di said

"Madam's words are reasonable. There are many high officials in this capital city. If my uncle speaks inappropriately or behaves indiscriminately, it may cause trouble."

So Defang sent four guards, but Song Yuanhan didn't appreciate it. Instead, he called the three servants who returned to Beijing with him. Defang had no choice but to let the guards follow Song Yuanhan in turn.

Although Song Yuanhan had several wives and concubines, he had no sons and half daughters. When he returned to Beijing, he had almost used up all the silver he had used. He didn't dare to ask Defang for it, so he came to the treasurer of the palace and saw a man dressed like a steward. Song Yuanhan approached and said, "I am the prince's uncle Song Yuanhan, what's your name?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "I have seen my uncle, the humble position is Jin Yingshi, the treasurer of the royal family"

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanhan found the right person, so he cleared his throat and said, "So it's you, the prince said to let me get some silver taels for expenses, go and get some."

Jin Yingshi replied, "Do you have a note from the prince? Or a note from Eunuch Baili?"

"What note? What kind of note does the prince ask me to pick it up! Hurry up and get it!"

Jin Yingshi was very embarrassed, "Uncle, this is against the rules, this..."

Song Yuanhan grabbed Jin Yingshi and said, "My uncle is so difficult to speak? If you don't go get it, I will beat you!" The three servants beside Song Yuanhan also stepped forward and looked at Jin Yingshi angrily.

But Jin Yingshi was a very well-behaved person, and said, "Why don't I go to see the prince with my uncle, if the prince agrees, I will immediately take out my humble position."

Song Yuanhan was very angry, pushed Jin Yingshi to the ground, and shouted to his servant, "Hit me!"

Several servants went up and beat Jin Yingshi up, and then they found some loose silver and some copper coins on Jin Yingshi, and walked away swaggeringly. Jin Yingshi lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up When the patrolmen in the mansion saw Jin Yingshi, they immediately ran over to inquire about the situation, and informed the general Song Jiajun. When the prince returns to the mansion, I will definitely let you know."

Jin Yingshi shook his head, "Brother Song, he is the prince's uncle, so don't tell the prince about this."

"How can I do that? He injured you and robbed you of silver. How can you deceive the prince about such things?"

"Brother Song, if your lord's many affairs are bothered by trivial matters in the mansion, wouldn't it be my negligence? Besides, my uncle will soon send someone to leave the mansion, and the money will be ignored. Don't tell the lord about this matter."

Jia Jun was very angry, "I just hurt His Royal Highness a few days ago, and now I hurt Brother Jin. I really can't stand such an arrogant person!"

"Brother Song, you also think that the prince will not be worried about the affairs of the mansion, so let's forget about this matter. If I meet him again, I will call the patrols over immediately. I don't think he will be too presumptuous."

Jia Jun sighed, "Hey! Well, Brother Jin, take good care of your wounds, and next time, I will definitely not spare him!"

It is said that Song Yuanhan and the three family members took the silver and wandered around the city, went to the brothel to drink, and then went to the gambling house, but soon the money was gone, and he returned to the small restaurant where several concubines lived, because there was no money for them, Several people scolded Song Yuanhan for a long time, and Song Yuanhan shouted, "Enough! I am the uncle of the Eight Sage Kings, and I will become a high-ranking official sooner or later! If you don't want to follow me, go away! Don't come and beg me to take you in when the time comes." !"
