Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, Father." Beneficiary cupped his hands, Zhang Shixun, who was doing his homework, walked in, saluted Defang first, and then accepted the gift from Beneficiary. Defang took a book and went to the outer room to drink tea and read it. After half an hour, Defang looked at the benefit of the back room and saw that he was writing, so he quietly left Zishan Hall, took Baili to see Zhenzong, and conveyed Kou Zhun's intention to Zhenzong. It turned out that he was promoted to Kou Zhun years ago At that time, Zhu Neng, the inspector, knew that Zhou Huaizheng was deceiving himself as a heavenly book. Zhou Huaizheng had no choice but to inform Zhenzong about it. Zhenzong asked Wang Dan, the prime minister at the time, "Although I know that Zhu Neng used this to seek merit, it is not a bad thing. What do you think?" ?”

The aged Wang Dan really wanted to call Kou Zhun into Beijing again, so he said, "Those who have never believed in the heavenly scriptures will be allowed. Today the book is delivered, and you must order Kou Zhun to go up."

Zhenzong nodded in agreement, but Kou Zhun still did not accept it. The matter of the Heavenly Book was left undisclosed for several months. Now that Defang told Zhenzong that Kou Zhun had agreed to accept it, Zhenzong was of course delighted, "Brother Emperor, Kou Zhun really agreed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Kou's heart is with the people of the country, and he has made great contributions to the stability of the Song Dynasty. Mr. Kou can't bear His Majesty's worries about the court affairs, so he entrusted his ministers to say that he is willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility again and help the country."

"Okay! That's great! I..." Zhenzong suddenly thought of something, turned around and picked up a brochure, "Brother Emperor, this is a brochure that Kou Zhun just published in the early court, and now he is saying this again, what do you think of this matter? "

Defang took the booklet and looked at it, and it was indeed the same as what Kou Zhun said in the morning, so she said, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Kou's strategy of retreating. It is just for the courtiers to see. Your Majesty does not need to care about it. You can stay as Mr. Kou." It is an act to show His Majesty how to treat virtuous ministers favorably."

"Then how do I approve this fold?"

Defang thought for a while, "The privy envoy Wang Jiying's father is named Zhong, and the meritorious officials have the title of [Tui Zhong], so the imperial edicts are not avoided. Kuang Xiangxiang also dislikes the name, the fate has been fulfilled, and it cannot be changed."

"That's very good." Zhenzong nodded, and walked back to the imperial case to write, Defang asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that General Cao Wei has asked for border affairs for several months, and His Majesty has already agreed to play. I don't know why?"

"Cao Wei first invited the new large and small Luomen villages to secure the border and come far away. He will play again in the near future. From spring to summer, he sent soldiers and village households to dig long trenches to build the big, Xiaoluomen city and the village. It is quite serious. Work hard, give money according to the amount, and there are many good strategies for defending the city against the enemy and reassuring the people. I have read it carefully and it is very feasible, so I will implement them one by one."

"General Cao is really a good minister and a good general."

"Brother Huang, you haven't been in court for a long time, and there are so many political affairs recently, I feel quite tired and a little powerless."

"The minister failed to share his worries with His Majesty, and please forgive him."

"Brother Huang, I don't mean that." Zhenzong walked up to Defang and said softly, "I only hope that I will grow up quickly and recover from my heart disease."

"I understand that I will help and take good care of you with all my heart."

When Defang returned to Zishantang, Yiyi just had a rest, and when she saw Defang came back, she ran over, "Father! Where have you been?"

"Father... I am anxious, hehehe"

"I thought you were gone, Father."

"Father won't leave." Defang squatted down, "Have you taken a break from your studies?"

"Well, the teacher said you can play for a while."

"Then why do you want father to play with you?"
