Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"All the villains said" the steward of the dining room told the truth. It turned out that during the Taiping Xingguo period, when the third wife Wang and the fourth wife Li came to the mansion, the people in the mansion treated them with respect, but later because Defang ignored them. The two of them moved into the Buddhist hall in the backyard, and no one paid any attention to them. People in the mansion knew very well that although they were the concubine of the prince, they had no real concubine. Defang didn't pay attention to them at all, so gradually Then they began to be forgotten, but the two big living people always have to eat, so the dining room is the only place they often go to, and the steward is a bit snobbish. Why do I have to cook for them, so I don’t care about the food in the Buddhist hall at all. Since then, the maidservants in the Buddhist hall have started to go to the dining room to get some food, and there are often some leftovers, but because the two Madam has never been valued by Defang, so the maidservants dare not mention this matter. Although Concubine Di occasionally goes to see, they dare not tell the truth. Today, Defang ordered the two to move out of the backyard and made it clear to the mansion After confirming the status of the two, Yan'er had the courage to say this.

"What a bunch of bastards!" Defang pointed to the steward of the dining room and said, "What is your identity! How dare you talk about the lonely king's family affairs! How dare you treat the lonely king's concubine like this, it is really intolerable! Pull him out for the lonely king!"

"My lord! My lord, please spare me! The villain will never dare again!" the steward shouted

"Shut up!" Defang was very angry, "Jiajun! Go and arrest these people! The lonely king will never let you down!"

"Wait!" Concubine Di called Zhu Jiajun, "My lord, don't do this!"

"Ma'am! These people will never forgive! For more than 20 years, they dare to do such a thing behind the back of the lonely king!"

"My lord" Concubine Di pulled Defang aside, and said softly, "If it wasn't for the attitude of the lord back then, how could they be like this? I think they are just servants, and such and such are the actions of ordinary people. If the lord wants to punish everyone, then this Aren't there too many people in the mansion who will be punished, and "Concubine Di approached again" and said, "This matter will become a big deal, and rumors will spread, and the prince's treatment of the two wives chosen by the late emperor will be criticized by others. It's not a good thing."

Defang looked at Concubine Di and nodded, "Madam's words are very true...but...hey...then how should we deal with it?"

"My lord might as well punish them slightly so that they can all know what they have done wrong. From now on, they will not dare to treat the two wives lightly. Moreover, if these old servants are left behind, they can also control the people below. People, there will be no such thing in the future.”

Defang nodded, "It's still Madam who thinks well, so that's it." Then she turned to the steward of the dining room and said, "My lady interceded for you today because you have been loyal to the lonely king for nearly 30 years. Forgive you, but you must be punished for what you have done, come and give him fifty rods."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lady!" The steward of the dining room cried and kowtowed

After the steward of the dining room was taken out, Defang came to the Wang family and said, "This is all the fault of the lonely king, which caused my wife to suffer such a situation."
