Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

德芳56岁王妃57岁长子39次子37幼子35-赵祯6岁-真宗47

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dazhong Xiangfu has been around for eight years, and Yiyi has gradually become more than 5 years old. According to the royal practice, a child of the clan should have a title when he is 7 years old. The court wanted to confer the title again, which puzzled many ministers, so Fang Bozong, a court official, said, "Your Majesty, the conferment of the Duke of Qing by the four princes of the Nanqing Palace last year may be inappropriate, and it is not appropriate to confer the title again." At this time, Defang sat Aside, do not speak.

On the contrary, Zhenzong was a little unhappy when he heard this, "What's wrong?"

"The minister thinks that the appointment of the prince is too high," said Fang Bozong

"Lord Fang, I thought it was not an exaggeration for your majesty to confer the title. The eight sage kings are members of the royal family. It is reasonable to think that the prince has made great achievements in his home country for many years, and his descendants will be blessed." A general suddenly said, and De Fang looked at it. This general, whose surname is Zhao, has made military achievements, assisted the city guards in arresting bandits, and made great contributions in eradicating turmoil. I heard that this man is brave in battle, and he will always be the first. He is thirty-two years old. General Yunhui of the third grade has just been transferred back to the capital to be in charge of the training of junior military officers of the Imperial Army and some affairs of the Ministry of War.

Fang Bozong turned his head and looked at General Zhao, "The general's words are wrong, the meritorious service of the prince and the appointment of his descendants are not the same thing."

General Zhao also looked at Fang Bozong, "In the system of the imperial court, the descendants of officials of the fifth rank and above can be entrusted with the shadow of their families. What's more, the sons of the eight virtuous kings are the royal relatives. Even the sons of virtuous kings cannot receive favors, so why should the heirs of all the adults in this dynasty not be conferred and rewarded because of the meritorious deeds of their fathers?"

Fang Bozong was a little displeased. In fact, he just didn’t understand why Dudu’s fourth prince benefited and often received Long’s grace, but the fact is true, but he still said, “The general is confusing the public. It is unheard of for a five-year-old child to be granted the title of Duke Qing, and it is too much to be granted the title now."

After hearing this, Zhenzong looked at Fang Bozong, "Fang Bozong, are you questioning that I made a mistake in granting benefit?"

Fang Bozong was taken aback, "I, I dare not, I just..."

"Okay! Don't talk about it anymore," Zhenzong said, "The Baxian King is the son of the Taizu, my brother, the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who has made great contributions to the country, the country, and the country. The addition of sons in recent years is a blessing from heaven, and he has benefited from being the grandson of the Taizu. The youngest son of the emperor's brother should enjoy a high rank and rich salary, and seeing the fourth prince benefiting, I also feel that I have a predestined relationship with him, and there is no objection to the conferment!"

Fang Bozong hurriedly stepped aside, and the officials also knew that Zhenzong had a good relationship with Defang when he was young, and he has always been very caring. It is impossible to shake Defang's position, so most of the ministers still It's very interesting, I won't mention these at all, only some officials who are new to the court can't see the situation clearly.

Defang was sitting aside with a golden mace in his arms, and he was still silent at this time. Zhenzong looked at Defang, "Brother, today I want to call Yiyi into the palace."

Defang cupped his hands, "Yes, after the next court, the minister brought the boy to meet His Majesty"
