Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

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."

"Degong" Defang said, "Don't bring up the sad past."

"Yes, brother Wang, I won't mention it, brother."

At this time, the four brothers and sisters of Weixu came in and saluted, "Greetings to the queen mother after the child is given to the father."

"Xu'er" De Fang raised his hand and said to De Gong, "This is your county uncle, De Gong, and you haven't saluted him yet."

"Uncle De Gong?" Wei Xu and the others stared at De Gong for a moment, then they all saluted and said, "My nephew sees Uncle Duke."

"Several nephews have grown up so much." De Gong smiled, "Hurry up and get rid of the ceremony."

Defang nodded, "Yes, Degong, when you left Beijing, Wei Xu was only seven years old, and the little girl Ling'er was less than one year old."

"Hey, little brother and brother Wang were as young as they were back then. They were just full of ambition, and they never thought about the changes in the world. Hehehe, now they are really worn out, and they can live like this, but they have peace of mind."

"Brother Wang has never forgotten the ambitions of the past. He has gone through wind and rain for many years, but Brother Wang has never regretted it. Personal life and death are like a feather. The safety of the family and the country is the most important thing on Mount Tai. The lonely king is blessed by his ancestors, so he has good fortune and good morals today. Gong, now that you are going back to Beijing to serve, Brother Wang will definitely protect you and never make you worry about your safety."

"Brother Wang is a man of good fortune, my younger brother thank you for your kindness."

Defang said, "Degong, let's not talk about these things. It's really not easy for us brothers to meet again. We need to have a few drinks tonight."

"Yes, Brother Wang, my younger brother has exactly that intention."

"Okay, okay." Defang nodded with a smile, "Weixu, you guys will take Chengqing and Chengshou for a walk around the mansion, but treat them well."

"Yes, Father."

In the evening, Defang and Degong drank together until late at night, and talked about many past events. Never met, but the brotherhood is still deep, Degong stayed in the palace for a few days and then returned to the original place to prepare. At the request of the imperial court, Zhenzong followed him and moved to Shengzhou to practice.
