Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Isn't that right?" De Fang laughed, "Brother Wang is surrounded by weird people. He used to be, and he is now, hehehe."

"Brother Wang is surrounded by honest people."

"That's right, hehe." Defang patted Baili and looked at Degong and said, "This is Uncle Qin's eldest son, Degong, the eldest brother of Guwang, do you remember?"

"I remembered! I remembered!" Baili shouted, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness!"

"What kind of prince! How many years has it been?" Defang patted Baili on the head, "Now I'm the prince! I don't have a brain!"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness!" Baili quickly saluted

"Brother Wang" De Gong said with a smile, "Don't care about these titles, whether it is the Duke of the county or the Marquis of the county, it is enough for the younger brother to return to Beijing to see Brother Wang."

Defang sighed, "Degong, no matter what, it's good to be back now. From now on, you and my brother will meet each other often. Let's go back and have a rest. Let's have a good talk after recovering enough energy."

"Yes, Brother Wang."

Defang and Degong returned to Nanqing Palace on horseback, arranged for him to live in a side courtyard, and left the mansion together to go to the early court at Maoshi. After the early court, Zhenzong Jin made Degong the general of Zuo Wuwei, gave him a mansion in Beijing, and named his eldest son Zhao Chengqing He is the sixth-rank Feiqiwei, and his second son is the seventh-rank Yunqiwei.Several of his younger brothers were granted a first-class title and stayed in the administration.

After coming down to court, De Fang took De Gong and two nephews back to the palace, and several people came to the inner hall. De Gong saluted Concubine Di first, "Your brother sees Mrs. Wang's thousand years old."

"Hurry up and be free," said Concubine Di, "Brother Degong, please sit down."

"Sister-in-law Xie Wang" Degong seated with hands clasped, Chengqing and Chengshou stepped forward to kowtow, "My nephew kowtows to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

"You two nephews are welcome to sit down," Defang said.

"Hey, why do my brothers bother you? Brother Wang is very happy that you can return to Beijing. It has been fifteen years in a flash. Back then, you were full of vigor and vigor. Now you have gone through a lot of vicissitudes. Now even Chengqing Chengshou is so old. It is really embarrassing for the king. Brother feels deeply."

De Gong sighed, "When I left Beijing, I was only 20 years old. My father took our children to Fangzhou, but life was difficult. Later, my father became seriously ill and passed away soon. My brothers and I were very scared. I was afraid that we would all die in Fangzhou, but the late emperor granted me the title of General Zuowuwei, Marquis of Anding, and condemned me to Jeju. My second brother Delong was named General of Youwuwei, Marquis of Changning, and sentenced to Yizhou. The younger brothers all went to the treatment center. Later, the second younger brother died of illness, and the third younger brother De Yi succeeded Delong to judge Yizhou. Only in this way, our life has improved, and these years have been smooth."

Defang nodded, "It's good that everything is safe now. Brother Wang has gone through a lot of things in Beijing these years. Now that everything is in order, Brother Wang has no other extravagant wishes."

"My little brother has heard many things about Brother Wang in the past 15 years, and I admire him very much. Now Brother Wang's virtuous name is spread far and wide, and everyone knows it. Everyone who hears it is delighted. In contrast, my little brother has no merit, and I really feel ashamed in my heart."

"What is Degong talking about? Brother Wang is just fulfilling his duties as a courtier. What kind of virtuous name is just a false name. You have also appointed officials for the prince's status. Don't speak lightly of yourself."

"Prince." De Gong shook his head, "Little brother just received the grace of the former emperor, and he was temporarily called the prince with Brother Wang, but it was only six or seven years ago, how can I be compared with Brother Wang, brother, you are the son of Emperor Taizu, It's the orthodox dragon vein, little brother."
