Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yelu Xiyin was exhausted by his own son in the end, which is exactly the same as when his father Yelu Lihu was exhausted by himself." Concubine Di sighed, "Brothers were killed, the imperial power was changed, and the poor people are still the people. .”

"That's right, because it's all for the throne, and the ethics of family affection have disappeared, so there are still people who will take care of the common people."

"The struggle for imperial power has been like this since ancient times."

Defang turned to look at Concubine Di and said, "There are many things that cannot be avoided in the royal family. Even if I want to be alone, I will never be able to control others, even the father, son, and siblings of my closest relatives. In comparison, I feel that I am extremely I am fortunate to have the huge Nanqing Palace to accommodate me, my virtuous wife, filial sons and grandsons to accompany me, and my loyal servants on my left and right, I have all the joys in life, and I don’t want anything else.”

"It sounds true, but the concubine really wants to ask for more."

"Oh?" Defang looked at Concubine Di and blinked, "What does Madam want? As long as I can do it, Madam will be satisfied."

"It's all said to be extravagant."

"Tell me about it"

Concubine Di looked at Wang Shi and Li Shi and then at Defang, "The oath between the concubine and the prince, praying for life and death."

Defang took Di Fei's hand and looked into her eyes, "It's not a luxury, it's definitely possible."

Concubine Di nodded, "Let's not talk about this, come, try the dim sum made by the two younger sisters."

Defang took a bite, "Ma'am, let me tell you the truth, the dim sum made by the third lady and the fourth lady is really delicious, crunchy and soft, very tasty, it goes well with tea, and the children are very special." like."

"This is something I'm willing to bow down to." Concubine Di smiled and picked up a snack to eat. About half an hour later, Wei Xu Wei Xian Wei Neng and Wei Xi Wei Ling also returned to the mansion, and Wei Xu said at the dinner table, " Father, Mr. Zhang is ill, so he hasn't been to the official department for the past few days."

"is it serious?"

"I always say that I am weak and not feeling well."

"Then ask the national players to go and have a look tomorrow."

"My boy also said it, but Mr. Zhang said no, and said that he had already written to His Majesty, requesting to know Yingzhou."

"Yingzhou...what does His Majesty say?"

"Uncle Huang said that Mr. Zhang is honest and upright. He sometimes looks forward to it. When he was appointed to the Ministry of Yi again, he was known for his political achievements. He should not be in a small county. Therefore, he wrote a book to tell Mr. Zhang that he can choose Zhiqing Prefecture or Zhending Mansion by himself."

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with an important task, and Mr. Zhang can indeed take it on."

"However, Mr. Zhang refused to accept it, saying that he was really in poor health, and he was afraid that the common people would be missed. If His Majesty has mercy, Mr. Zhang would like to return to his hometown to serve in Shengzhou."

"Shengzhou is not bad, it's not too far from the capital."

"The emperor is still thinking about it."

"Master Zhang, I don't know if it's an excuse to leave Beijing." Defang shook her head

"Father, ever since Master Zhang became the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the government has been very strict, and all the officials who came here are very serious in their work."

"This is for sure. Every time Mr. Zhang came to the office, there was a small official who refused to obey Mr. Zhang's control and disobeyed him. Mr. Zhang put a yoke on his neck. As a result, this little official was also very stubborn and said: Kill someone, this shackle will never come off."

"This little official is really courageous, Mr. Zhang is really strict, father, how did Mr. Zhang let the little official admit his mistake?"

"Admit it?" Defang waved his hand, "Master Zhang was very angry with the little official, and immediately beheaded the little official."

"Huh?" Wei Xu and the children were very surprised, "Beheaded?"

"Yes, the court also punished Mr. Zhang for this matter, but his temper has not changed at all."

Wei Xu breathed out and said, "Father, my son heard about a case judged by Mr. Zhang today, and he thought it was really clever, just like Zhang Xiang used to solve the family dispute case."
