Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"General Yelu, please be careful, I, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is virtuous and benevolent, so I will let Kou come to investigate this matter today."

"Check? If your emperor really believes what the prince said, why bother to check again?" Brother Yelu turned around and didn't look at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun walked over, "It is also the prince's intention to verify this matter."

Brother Eight turned around, "What does the lord mean?"

General Kou told Defang's worries to Brother Ba, and Brother Yelu sighed, "Okay, what Prime Minister Kou wants to know, I will tell you."

Kou Zhun took out a piece of paper, "Dare to ask the general to write down what General Yelu's father told you."

"Lord Kou, this general is not a criminal. Is it impossible to write a confession? If the rumor spreads, it will damage my Daliao prestige." The eighth brother is not very happy

"In this way, for the general, Kou is a ghostwriter. In the end, the general needs to sign his name for confirmation. This is also for the sake of the prince."

Brother Ba thought for a while, "Well, from this point of view, in order to avoid complications, I will report this matter to the Queen Mother after I return to Liao."

Brother Ba recounted the events of the year, Kou Zhun wrote down the content, which was the same as what Defang said, Yelu Geba wrote his name, and changed the Liao seal on it with a ring.

Kou Zhun summoned several soldiers from that year, recorded what they had seen, sorted out all the evidence, and reported it to Zhenzong in the early court. The clan of Empress Dowager Xiao also wanted to know the final situation after hearing what Brother Ba had said, so they sat aside, Zhenzong read the booklet presented by Kou Zhun, asked his servants to pass it on to Xiao Yingjie, and asked Prime Minister Bi Shi'an to report it After reading it to all the ministers, Zhenzong stood up and said, "Now the matter is clear. The Baxian King is the son of the founder of our dynasty, the important minister of the three dynasties, my brother, who is benevolent, loyal, and brave. He is the person I trust most. From now on, if Anyone who dares to speak falsely to him will be severely punished and will never be forgiven!"

The ministers knelt down and worshiped, "The ministers and others obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live my emperor"

At this time Liao envoy Xiao Yingjie got up and said, "The lonely king did not expect that brother Xiu and the virtuous king of the Song Dynasty had such a story when they were young. Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and found out about this matter. Otherwise, if it is used by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be It has destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and even damaged the reputation of the virtuous king and the deceased Brother Hugh."

"What Prince Xiao said is true." Zhenzong nodded, "If this is true, it will harm both countries."

Defang said to Zhenzong, "Your Majesty is wise and shows your loyalty."

Brother Yelu also stepped forward and said, "Thanks to Prime Minister Kou sent by His Majesty, this matter can be verified so quickly. Brother Ba also avoided the worry of being suspected by others after returning to Liao. My father's spirit in the sky can also be comforted." Brother Ba walked up to Defang again, "I'm really sorry for the prince. If Brother Ba hadn't mentioned what happened back then, he wouldn't have been jealous of the villain." Brother Ba gave Wang Qinruo a look

Defang smiled, "Now the truth is out, you and I don't have to worry about seeing each other in the future, it might be a good thing"

After the incident, Zhenzong and Xiao Yingjie were very satisfied, Liao envoy was ready to return home, Zhenzong envoy Defang and Kou Zhun saw him off.

The envoys from Song and Liao had exchanges every year, and Defang and Geba often met as the main persons in charge. Many transactions on the border between the two countries could be handled very quickly. Because of the truce between Song and Liao, the common people no longer suffered from the war. Frequently, life begins to abound.
