Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty, my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, my emperor." Everyone knelt down, Zhenzong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at De Fang who was standing aside and said, "Brother Emperor, are you feeling unwell?"

Defang calmed down and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, yes, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhenzong knew that Defang suspected this, so he smiled and said, "Brother Emperor, go back and rest, your body is important."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty" Defang bowed

After Zhenzong left, Defang called Wang Dan to stop, "Prime Minister, can I take a step to speak?"

"My lord, my minister..."

"Please" Defang didn't give Wang Dan a chance to make excuses, so he invited him over. Wang Dan had no choice but to follow. The two came to the sedan chair team outside the palace. Walking to the corner, Defang asked, "Prime Minister, what's going on?"

"My lord, what are you talking about?"

"Prime Minister Wang, although the lonely king seldom goes to court early, he is still well aware of the current situation, and he is even more aware of His Majesty's disposition. Since the Song, Liao and Chanzhou alliances, His Majesty has become more and more convinced of the divine way, building temples, practicing Zen and worshiping Buddha, This is nothing, but what happened today is too bizarre, right?"

"My lord, Your Majesty met an immortal in a dream, and the immortal sent down the heavenly scriptures. Everyone has seen it today."

"Really? Gu Wang doesn't think so." Defang said, "Your Majesty just revealed the matter of the Heavenly Book today, and no one but Your Majesty should know about it. But according to what Gu Wang just saw, Prime Minister Wang and Wang Qinruo seem to know something. "

"My lord misunderstood, it's nothing..."

"No? Hehehe" Defang laughed and said, "The conversation between Prime Minister Wang and Wang Qinruo and His Majesty really cooperated well just now. Among the crowd, there are only two who have heard His Majesty's words without any surprise on their faces. Instead, they answered fluently. The words and deeds of the ashram seem to have been known for a long time, and the expression is calm and unhurried, the words and deeds of Prime Minister Wang today are not like you usually, but somewhat like that Wang Qinruo."

"My lord...my minister..."

"And" Defang stared into Wang Dan's eyes and said, "Your Majesty is uncharacteristically today, and even sent three people to the Nanqing Palace to invite the lonely king into the palace. It is clear that arrangements have been made, and the lonely king is just a powerful witness, proving that the book of heaven is indeed heaven. Jiang, the Gu Wang once met the medicine king Pi Tong, and now no one doubts the fact that he testified for His Majesty as an immortal, otherwise, what would His Majesty ask the Gu Wang to do? Don’t you think so, Prime Minister.”

"My lord... this... the heavenly book..."

"Why is the Prime Minister hesitating? Could it be that this matter was not His Majesty's intention, but the Prime Minister and that Wang Qinruo, pretending to be a ghost to deceive His Majesty will not work!" Defang's tone suddenly became very severe, and he used this to cheat Wang Dan. A more upright person would be guilty of doing this kind of thing, and he was even more nervous when he was frightened by Defang. Seeing this, Defang said in a more emphatic tone, "It seems to be true! Prime Minister Wang, you are too courageous! Dare to forge heavenly scriptures to mock His Majesty! It is an unforgivable crime!" De Fang shook his golden mace as he spoke.

"No! No! My lord, no! Not my minister!" Wang Dan was startled, and took a step back.

"Who else is it if it's not you! You are a dignified prime minister, is there anyone else who threatens you!"

"My lord! It's really not a minister! It's Your Majesty..." Wang Dan paused at this point, and he actually recruited himself. He suddenly knelt down, "My lord! The minister is also forced to do so!"
