Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Concubine Di, and said after a long time, "What Madam said is true, I have never considered such a long-term view."

"My lord, this is the general trend. Why are you so unhappy? It's not worth hurting your body."

"Thank you ma'am." Defang held Concubine Di's hand, "If Madam didn't relieve my worries, I really wouldn't be able to untangle this knot in my heart."

"Why don't you thank me, the old couple still say these things." Concubine Di smiled, "Your Majesty and the courtiers must have made arrangements for the future, so the prince can relax a bit."

"It's true." Defang poured a cup of tea, and suddenly thought of something, "Ma'am...you said...why did your majesty return the decree to the lonely king? Do you really trust the lonely king so much?"

"According to my concubine, I'm afraid that seal is not the one before."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Did you open it before it was burned down?"

"No, the lonely king doesn't want to see it."

"That's it. Your Majesty knows what that seal means to the prince, so how could he easily return it to the prince?"

"What? Could it be that His Majesty lied to the lonely king?"

"Why is this impossible? The so-called holy will is unpredictable. Returning the edict to the prince is equivalent to handing over the throne and imperial power to the prince. Even if your majesty is the holy lord, he will not do this. Take a step back and think about it." "Your Majesty really trusts the prince, so it's nothing to leave this decree with the prince, but who can guarantee that future generations will not take the decree and announce it to the world? Wouldn't it be a big mess if this happens, and the royal family will not know what will happen?" How many people have been implicated."

Defang nodded, "Madam's words are reasonable, then... the lonely king burned the fake imperial decree? Is it really still there?"

"It should be, but it is very wise for the prince to do so, so that His Majesty will trust the prince even more."

"Trust... There is no trust between the monarch and his ministers." De Fang shook her head, "If it wasn't for the fact that the lonely king had royal blood, I don't know how many times he would have died."

"That's why." Concubine Di smiled, "Your Majesty and His Majesty are brothers of the royal family, of Zhao family blood. After all the past and this incident, the brotherhood between Your Majesty and His Majesty will become stronger and deeper."

"It sounds a bit weird...but...it's true." Defang sighed lightly, "They are brothers and sisters of the royal family, but they have to prove their affection with their lives because they have become monarchs and ministers."

"In the emperor's house, some things are unavoidable." Concubine Di pulled Defang up from the chair, "My lord, can't we survive any storm? There is nothing to worry about now."

"It's true." Defang smiled, hugged Concubine Di and said, "The eight virtuous kings and concubines of the Nanqing Palace are not afraid of anything. Above the court, except for the emperor, the lonely king will not buy it, hehehehe"

"My lord, are you feeling better now?"

"With my wife here, how can I be bad?" Defang kissed Concubine Di on the forehead, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Zhenzong issued an edict to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai in October of this year, appointing Wang Qinruo, a member of the Privy Council, and Zhao Anren, a member of the Political Council, as envoys for the envoy of the Zen meridian system and Yanzhou.Later, the prime minister Wang Dan was appointed as the envoy of great rites, Wang Qinruo as the envoy of ceremonies, Feng Zheng as the envoy of ceremonial guards, Chen Yaosou as the envoy of Lubo, and Zhao Anren as the envoy of Qiaodaodi Dun.
