Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Taizu sighed, "Ai Qing, what happened yesterday was not my original wish, you should get up first."

Zhang Song looked up at Taizu, Taizu nodded at him, Zhang Song stood up, Taizu told the whole story of what happened yesterday, it turned out that after reading the test papers of Wang Sizong and Chen Shi, he really didn't know what to do The number one scholar, so I thought, since the article written on paper can’t be distinguished, let’s see how their character is, so they went to the hall and read each other’s test papers. Chen Shi was humble and polite after reading it, too. Zu was very satisfied, and thought that Wang Sizong would do the same, but who knew that Wang Sizong was not polite at all, and said that his articles were better than Chen Shi, which made Taizu very unhappy. He already wanted to give the champion to Chen Shi, and later several examiners also recommended Chen Shi, so the Taizu asked Chen Shi again. He hesitated at this time, which made Taizu even more unhappy. He thought that Chen Shi was not a real gentleman, but after all, Wang Sizong and Chen Shi had to choose a champion, so Taizu became cruel and wanted to humiliate them. Seeing their natures, they asked the two of them to decide whether to win or lose in the sumo wrestling in the golden palace. In fact, as long as one of Wang Sizong and Chen Shi would rather die than obey, then the champion would be his, but Taizu's last wish was not fulfilled The two of them actually rolled up their sleeves and wrestled in the Golden Palace. Taizu felt so angry. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, courageous and capable talents were most needed, so he made a ban on not killing bluntly admonishing scholar-bureaucrats , but today, two students who have learned the books of sages scuffled regardless of their identities.

Taizu said, "I went back to the apse after I selected the number one scholar. I was very angry at first, but later Defang told me that Chen Shi was stunned and stood aside, while Wang Sizong ran to help Aiqing, but Aiqing reprimanded her." Him, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, Defang thought he would hit you, hehehe"

"So that's how it is." Zhang Song knelt down and kowtowed, "I misunderstood Your Majesty, and I beg your Majesty's minister to commit a serious crime!"

"Aiqing, get up quickly." Taizu helped Zhang Song up, "Aiqing speaks out and advises, and spares her own life for the sake of the world's students. What I want is a minister like Aiqing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Song choked up

Taizu patted Zhang Song and said, "I didn't expect Wang Sizong to say those words and even ran to help you. It seems that I was also blinded by my own selfishness and thought Wang Sizong was a frivolous person. Now it seems that he is indeed Respecting teachers, being courageous and talented, not hypocritical, daring to speak frankly, I believe that as long as I practice more, I will become a pillar of the Song Dynasty in the future."

"I believe that Wang Sizong will not be in debt to the Holy Grace."

"Well," Taizu nodded, "I was unhappy when I saw Aiqing meeting all the students in the palace today, and I know that you have some resentment in your heart, so I called you into the palace and explained the whole story. You are relieved."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Song knelt down again, "Your Majesty is benevolent, the Great Song Dynasty will surely prosper forever. I am willing to dedicate my life and what I have learned all my life to the Great Song Dynasty. Long live my emperor!"

Taizu appeased Wang Sizong, rewarded him with some items and let him leave the palace. Defang approached and cupped his hands and said, "Father, it's getting late, you should go to bed early, and my son will leave."
