Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, my lord" Xiaopeng hurriedly brought Song Jiajun to the inner courtyard, Jiajun stopped outside the bedroom door, bowed his head and bowed his hands in salute, "The last general will see the lord, my empress is a thousand years old"

"Jia Jun doesn't need to be too polite, what's the matter?"

"My lord, the last general." Before Jiajun finished speaking, Baili said, "You told me what you had to say just now, but now you think about it again. I think you are old and have a bad memory."

Jia Jun raised his head and stared at Baili, "I told you, even your little head can remember."

"Who are you talking about with a small head!" Baili was very unconvinced, "You obviously forgot to call me!"

"Okay." Defang rubbed her temples, "Is it uncomfortable for you two to meet without bickering?"

Ke'er, who was beside Concubine Di, hurried over to Lala Baili, "You're the only one who talks too much! General Song has something to report."

Defang looked at Baili and Ke'er and said with a smile, "Oh, it's a good thing that Ke'er looked at Baili, otherwise the lonely king's ears would be unclean, hehehe"

Concubine Di said, "My lord, stop making trouble, General Song, what do you need to tell your lord?"

Jia Jun cupped his hands, "My lord, Your Majesty invites you into the palace."

"Entering the palace again, entering the palace again." Defang was a little impatient, "One word from His Majesty, the lonely king will run back and forth."

Concubine Di smiled and said, "The lord is His Majesty's sibling, and he is also an important court official. If there is anything to do, I will discuss it with the lord."

"Hey!" Defang sighed, "The border is in danger, there are many troubles in the court, and important officials are seriously ill. All of them are distressing. Discussion? Can it be resolved through discussion? It is better for your majesty to trust a few treacherous and slanderous ministers less than anything else! "

Concubine Di patted De Fang's hand, "Punishing them requires more talents, and it is the prince's responsibility to select talents and protect them. It is the prince's duty to help His Majesty not to be swayed by slanderous officials."

Defang nodded expressionlessly, "Ma'am. I think His Majesty has changed. Compared with before, he has less courage, more and more. Why did it become like this? Could it be that I have not fulfilled my duty of assistant? Or Is Your Majesty willing to accept the expiry of the slanderous minister's term rather than face the reality?"

"My lord, don't talk nonsense." Concubine Di pulled Defang up. "I don't care about others, I only know that the lord's responsibility is to assist His Majesty. Even if it's just a white job sometimes, the lord can't give up because of it."

Defang looked at Concubine Di and smiled, "Yes, I will follow Madam's orders."

"Then, please enter the palace quickly, my concubine will wait for you to come back to enjoy the flowers."

"En." Defang nodded, "I will definitely come back sooner. Jiajun prepares a sedan chair, a hundred miles away, and enters the palace with the lonely king."

When Defang came to the palace, all the servants knew that Zhou Huaizheng invited Defang to see Zhenzong. When he walked near the Changchun Palace, he saw a monk who looked like a monk passing by. Stopped him and said, "This master! Please stop!"

The monk stopped and looked at De Fang, then approached and saluted, "My lord, what is the matter?"

Baili raised his head and said, "My lord, this is His Highness Baxian Wang, why don't you even recognize the prince? Who are you?"

The monk was startled, and hurriedly bowed deeply and put his palms together in salute, "The poor monk is rude, please forgive me, my lord."

Zhou Huaizheng on the side said, "Your Majesty, don't blame me, this master was invited by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty? Why did you invite monks into the palace?" Defang looked at the monk, "Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a monk in a temple in the capital, but he has a sense of the Western Regions."

"Return to the prince, this master is a Hu monk who paid tribute to Xizhou, so he doesn't know the prince's true face."
