Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Since the relationship between Song and Liao was stable, there was no trouble in the party affairs, and the treacherous officials in the court began to move around. Wang Qinruo hated Kou Zhun's talent very much, and coveted his position, so he slandered Zhenzong secretly, saying that the "Chanyuan Alliance "It is an alliance under the city, and the ancients were ashamed of it. They also said to Zhenzong: "Your Majesty, have you learned about Bo? The Boss loses all his money, but he spends all his money, which is called lonely betting. Your Majesty, Kou Zhun's lonely bet is also in danger. Do." Therefore, it cannot be said that Kou Zhun was a hero in the Battle of Chanyuan, and if it were not for Emperor Weide, the Liao people would not have agreed to make an alliance and so on.

Zhenzong was very unhappy because he heard the slander constantly, and gradually began to change his attitude towards Kou Zhun. In addition, Kou Zhun had an upright personality, often contradicted Zhenzong, and had verbal disputes with ministers. In the third year of De's reign, Kou Zhun was dismissed from the prime minister, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Shanzhou, and Wang Dan was transferred to the prime minister.

Kou Zhun returned to the mansion, packed his bags, and came to the door to report, "My lord, the Eight Sage Kings have arrived"

"Please!" Kou Zhun said

"No need to invite" Defang walked in "The Lonely King came in by himself"

"Kou Zhun sees the prince" Kou Zhun salutes

"Okay, why are you so polite?" Defang sat on the chair. "Master Kou, the lonely king said that you should restrain yourself. Look at the current situation. What should I do?"

Kou Zhun smiled, "This is not the first time for Kou, it's okay."

"No problem?" Defang looked at Kou Zhun, "You can still say such things now. Now that you have fallen from a dignified prime minister to a magistrate, you are simply far away from the court and expelled. Wouldn't it be a pity for your talent?"

"Kou Mou is like a wild crane in the clouds. When he is in the temple, he will share the worries of the king. If he quits the government, he will be the parents of the people. Kou has a clear heart and there are many things to do. What a pity."

"You will talk nonsense with the lonely king. You are still so leisurely in this situation." Defang said unhappily

"Kou knows that the prince cherishes talents, but Kou let the prince down," Kou bowed.

"The lonely king is not disappointed, but for you. If Wang Qinruo is really a treacherous minister, he can only flatter and provoke right and wrong, but he is in the court and won the favor of His Majesty. The original grand victory of the Battle of Chanyuan was lost by Wang Qinruo. A few words of slander to smear, and then look at you "Defang got up, "What else can you do besides arguing with His Majesty's ministers?"

Kou Zhun said nothing, Defang shook his head, "Hey, Mr. Kou, you and I met each other. The lonely king knows that you are upright, and now you can only say that loyal ministers are useless."

"There is still a prince in the court." Kou Zhun said, "The prince is a loyal and upright person, and he can coordinate all parties. I believe that as long as the prince is there, the treacherous people will not dare to overstep."

"Kou Zhun, do you mean to say that the lonely king is like a peacemaker?" Defang tilted her head to look at Kou Zhun

Kou Zhun smiled, "My lord, you can only comprehend it, but don't delve into it."

"Hahahaha, okay, you Kou Zhun, before you leave, don't forget to teach the lonely king a few words." Defang smiled

That night, Defang hosted a banquet in the mansion to see Kou Zhun off.

On October [-]st of the same year, Song Zhenzong formally issued a decree for the party, using Li Deming as the envoy to determine the difficulty of the festival and the title of King Xiping. Li Deming sent his oath to Xiliang Mansion to inform the leaders of the tribes.Li Deming offered a camel horse to express his gratitude.In the same month, Zhenzong gave Li Deming clothes, a gold belt, a golden saddle and a horse, ten thousand liang of silver, ten thousand pieces of silk, twenty thousand guan of money, and twenty thousand catties of tea.Since then, the Northern Song Dynasty and Dangxiang have maintained a peaceful and war-free situation for decades, and economic and cultural exchanges have continued.
