Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

After Zhenzong issued an edict, the Book of Heaven came down for the third time, and auspicious omens were continuously reported from all over the country. For safety reasons, Zhenzong appointed Xiang Minzhong to stay in Tokyo, and his internal servant Liu Wenzhi to serve as the governor and inspector of Qizhou to guard against raids from the north. , and then ordered Zhou Wenzhi to promote Shaanxi thieves, and to mobilize the garrisons in Yanyan, Fengxiang and other places in case of emergency.On the other hand, Zhenzong also asked people to inform the Liao State about the enshrining of Zen, so as to prevent the Liao State from misunderstanding Zhenzong's departure from Beijing.In addition, Zhenzong actually personally participated in the large-scale rehearsal of Fengchan, and handed over all government affairs to Defang.

In September, in the Nanqing Palace, Defang was lying on the desk in the study, next to a pile of approved booklets, Concubine Di came in with soup, "My lord, let's go outside for a walk."

"Ma'am, my legs are tired and I don't want to move."

"Let Xiaopeng hammer your legs for you?"

"No need." Defang sat up straight and said, "I still have to show these notebooks to His Majesty."

"My lord, it seems that there are not many government affairs now, and Mr. Kou is also helping you? Why do you seem so tired?"

"It's true that there are not many things, but your majesty is still in Beijing, and the papers approved by the lonely king have to be shown to your majesty for review. Although it is only a process, you can't go if you don't go. When the king went to the court, he thought he could have a good time and leisure, but who knew that he would have to go to the court for three or five days, read the papers and submit them to His Majesty, and then go to the various ministries for supervision. "

"My lord, your hard work is worth it." Concubine Di smiled and served a bowl of soup to Defang. "Brother, Wei Xu and Cong Pu have all received grace."

"It's true." Defang sipped the soup, "Your Majesty wants to give Cong Pu a marriage, and let his elder brother and Wei Xu accompany him to the Zen ceremony. When His Majesty leaves Beijing, the lonely king will be the supervisor of the country. Now the country is peaceful, and the lonely king is down." Have fun doing it too.”

"My lord, did your Majesty say that he chose the daughter of that family for Cong Pu?"

"That's not true, but His Majesty bestows a marriage, it must be a well-matched person, and the children born from such a family must also be outstanding."

"If Your Majesty really chooses, can you let us see first? At least meet Cong Pu first."

"Madam, don't worry, Cong Pu is the eldest grandson, and the Gu Wang will not be careless about his affairs. If His Majesty really chooses a good family, the Gu Wang will personally invite them to sit at the mansion."

In October, the team of Zhenzong Fengchan formally set off from Bianliang City. There were 750 bands and guards before and after the car carrying the book of heaven, and then Zhenzong, civil and military officials and a large number of imperial guards. Arrived at Fenggao Palace in Qianfeng County under Mount Tai in seven days, and climbed Mount Tai three days later to officially hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen. .Then Yuan Xie was Ya Xian, Yuan Cheng was Mo Xian, and finally made mud with gold scraps and frankincense, sealed the gold box and jade box containing the jade book, and put it in the stone box built. All the ministers and soldiers shouted long live, and the ceremony of enshrining Zen was over.But the next day, Zhenzong went to the Sheshou Mountain near Mount Tai to perform the meditation ceremony, and then returned to Fenggao Palace to receive congratulations from officials and guests, and then issued an amnesty order.

Immediately afterwards, Zhenzong announced that the Confucian Temple in Qufu would offer sacrifices to Confucius, adding the titles of Confucius, Yan Yuan and Confucius' parents. After offering sacrifices to Confucius, Zhenzong officially returned to Beijing.Later, he ordered Ding Wei, Li Zong'e and others to edit "Feng Chan Ji".

In the study room of Nanqing Palace, Defang was bored reading a book until very late at night. Concubine Di gently pushed the door open and entered, "My lord, why don't you rest late at night?"
