Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Hehehe, sit down, brother."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." De Fang sat down, looked at Wang Qinruo who was standing aside, Wang Qinruo hurriedly saluted, "I will see you, Lord Qiantui."

"Lord Wang, you don't need to be too polite." Defang nodded

"Is the emperor better?" Zhenzong asked

"Thanks to His Majesty's great love, I am in good health"

"That's good." Zhenzong nodded, "Since the time of the first emperor, he has bestowed favor on the emperor's brother so that he can not go to court early, and he said that the upper hall will not worship the emperor, and the lower hall will not leave the emperor, which shows the love of the emperor for the emperor."

"This is all the kindness that the late emperor bestowed on his ministers." De Fang cupped his hands and said, "Besides, both the late emperor and His Majesty have capable ministers to assist them. If a minister is not talented, it may be difficult to find a good plan to offer."

"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" Zhenzong shook his hand, "You are the one I rely on, not to mention that you are the minister of my Great Song Dynasty and the head of the royal family. You must not speak of yourself so lightly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I made a slip of the tongue." Defang smiled

Shinzong nodded and said, "Brother Emperor, I really have something to discuss with you when I called you into the palace this time. The envoy from Liao Dynasty has almost arrived in the capital. The person who came this time is a distinguished person. I really don't know who to send to greet you. The rank is too low. , I'm afraid it's impolite, I wanted Yuan Xie and Yuan Cheng to be together, but they are still young and lack of experience, after much deliberation, I still think that Brother Huang is the best candidate, so..."

Seeing Zhenzong looking at her, Defang understood very well, "I would like to follow His Majesty's arrangement."

"That's great!" When Zhenzong heard Defang's promise so readily, he immediately smiled, "Brother, this time Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent General Yelu Liuning of Zuojin Wuwei and General Yelv Wei of Zuowuwei. They are all from the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, with high positions and great powers."

"Yelu Liuning, played by the Yelu committee," Defang thought, "These two people are indeed special. I heard that Yelu Liuning was highly appreciated by the Emperor of Liao and the Empress Dowager Xiao, and might become the next King of the Northern Academy. Going out as an envoy shows the sincerity of the Liao Kingdom and our Great Song Dynasty."

"King of the North Courtyard" Zhenzong nodded, "Then I have to take a good look at this person."

"At present, the Liao army has withdrawn, and most of our army has also returned to where it belongs. The number of merchants in several places has increased, and the lives of the people on the border have greatly improved."

"That's great." Shinzo nodded.

Wang Qinruo didn't speak for a long time, and after hearing this, he hurriedly said, "This is Your Majesty's sage, who personally conquered Chanzhou, Song and Liao made an alliance, and the people were blessed because of it. Your Majesty is really the Holy Lord!"

Defang glanced at Wang Qinruo, and thought, at the beginning, this villain wanted to persuade His Majesty to escape from the capital, but now he still has the face to say this, but Zhenzong is very happy, "Well, this is all blessed by the ancestors, and my great Song Dynasty has the help of heaven." ah."

Afterwards, the three of them talked about the Fengtian Festival. Zhenzong was very happy, and left Defang to eat together at noon, and asked about Defang's health, because Yuanfen died of illness three months ago, which made Zhenzong feel very happy. Very sad, the royal family of Zhao is not very prosperous, so Zhenzong is more concerned about the health of the other brothers, and asks from time to time. If someone is unwell, Zhenzong will send someone to treat him immediately. As for Defang, Zhenzong In addition to caring and special care, since the first emperor, Defang has never been in court, so once Defang excuses that he is unwell, Zhenzong will stop asking, and send people to visit directly. As time goes by, it becomes a common practice .

After lunch, Defang talked to Zhenzong again, and then returned to the mansion.
