Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

-

"They are the eldest sons of Liu Qi, the prince of Emperor Wen of Han, and Liu Bi, king of Wu. These two are the grandsons of Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty and his brother Liu Zhong. The prince Liu Qi is the later emperor of Han Jing. , Liu Qi, who was still the prince, asked him to enter the palace to play a game of chess. Just halfway through the game, the two of them quarreled because of the different chess moves. The attendants beside them didn't know what to do. , something astonishing happened, Crown Prince Liu Qi suddenly raised the chessboard and slammed it on the head of Wu Shizi, Wu Shizi bled profusely and died on the spot."

"This... this... prince beat... King Wu's son to death?"

"That's right, Liu Qi killed Wu Shizi, and only ordered his body to be transported back to Wu Wang Liu Bi, and he didn't mean to apologize at all, because his eldest son was beaten to death by the prince just because of a game of chess, Wu Wang Liu Bi was very annoyed, and he wrote a letter to Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, saying: "There is one family in the world. If you die in Chang'an, you will be buried in Chang'an. Why come to bury him? So he ordered people to transport the coffin of the son back to Chang'an, the capital city, for burial, and he himself began to complain about illness."

"Smash your head." Baili patted his head, "It hurts even thinking about it, so you are right not to play chess."

"Baili, there are some things that you can hide from if you can. If this game of chess is really played, then there will be more things in the future."

"Your Majesty, you are His Majesty's elder brother, and you have helped His Majesty stabilize the throne. You have made meritorious deeds and are a clan relative. Your Majesty will definitely not hurt you."

Defang smiled, "Your Majesty is already the Son of Heaven, and the lonely king is only a subject. The emperor and his ministers must have the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. This has nothing to do with whether they have meritorious service or whether they have blood relatives. The people and things in the temple are subtle and unpredictable. Playing chess with the emperor But it is a matter of life and death, drinking with officials will determine the success or failure of the matter, and every word and deed may cause disaster, this is the imperial power officialdom, if there is any confusion, then the head on the neck and the official hat on the head will be lost."

"The little one doesn't understand either." Baili patted his head, "Anyway, what you said, my lord, is right."

"Hehehe, Gu Wang also likes to listen to my chief executive Baili the most." Defang said, "Baili, go and take out the soft armor of Gu Wang, and go to the Chu Palace after praying for rain tomorrow."

"My lord, do you want General Song to come with you?"

"No, you can do it alone." Defang looked at Baili and smiled, "There is a lonely king, don't be afraid."

"The little ones are not afraid, the little ones can still protect the prince."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, go to bed early today, and you will be tired all day tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord." --------------------------------------
