Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Jia Jun, who was guarding the entrance of the main hall, stepped into the hall one step at a time, holding a knife handle, and looked at Cao Can vigilantly.

Cao Jue was also frightened by his elder brother, and kept begging for mercy, "Father and Queen Mother! I know I was wrong! I beg Father and Queen Mother! Don't let my elder brother kill me! I will kowtow to the princess to make amends, and I dare not be foolish again." It's over!"

Defang frowned and looked at Concubine Di, and then squeezed her eyes a little. Concubine Di knew Defang's temperament, and often said a lot of words in a flash of her head, and then she didn't know how to end it, so Concubine Di said, "Lord Cao , the lord and this palace know that you are a loyal and upright person, but as an official of the court, how can you ignore the laws of the country? This is the Nanqing Palace. If Mr. Cao hurt Cao Sui’s life here, not only Mr. Cao himself will be punished by the court, Even the prince will be implicated, so how will Mr. Cao explain to the late General Cao?"

Hearing this, Cao Can put down his sword, knelt down and said, "I didn't worry about this, my reckless actions almost hurt my lord, this is a serious crime, please forgive me."

"Lord Cao did not show favoritism, and personally tied his younger brother to the Nanqing Palace. Although the words just now are extreme, it also shows the sincerity of Master Cao to the prince. How can the prince blame Master Cao, so please hurry up."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Cao Can stood up and put the sword back into the scabbard. Seeing this, Jia Jun also let go of the handle of the knife and retreated slightly to the door.

Concubine Di looked at Defang and said, "My lord, Mr. Cao is really a man of righteousness. He did not show favoritism or protect his weaknesses. He personally escorted Cao Jue to the Nanqing Palace. Now that Cao Jue is in the hall, how do you think he will be punished?"

"This." Defang thought for a while, but she really couldn't think of how to punish her. Could it be a beating?No, I'm not relieved, but I can't let him go.Dismissed?It is feasible, but if the emperor really pursues it, the royal family's face still has to be taken care of, and it will be difficult to end at that time. Concubine Di saw that De Fang was frowning and kept silent, so she said, "My lord, you are worried that if Cao Jue is punished, Will Junzhu be sad?"

As soon as Defang heard that Concubine Di had found a step for herself, she quickly said, "Yes, that's right, that's what the lonely king thinks, Junzhu is too kind, and always protects Cao Jue, otherwise Cao Jue would become what he is today. "

"My lord, Cao Jue really did too much this time. He should never have hurt Junzhu. Punishment is necessary, but after all, Cao Jue is also Junzhu's husband and a relative of the emperor. Let him stay Some face is to save face for the royal family, this matter is better resolved by oneself."

Defang looked at Concubine Di, "What does Madam mean?"

"The matter of Cao Jue will surely be known to outsiders soon. If it is so, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of it. At that time, the Golden Palace will be based on His Majesty. It will be troublesome. If we want to prevent this matter from expanding, it is better to let Cao Jue come first. Make an apology in front of Junzhu, and then ask him to go to Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Officials to ask for a downgrade. In this way, His Majesty will take into account their identities and punish them slightly. In this way, even if someone wants to make use of the problem, at least we will not be passive. "

"What madam said makes sense." Defang nodded, "But...that's too cheap for Cao Jue, that bastard!"

Cao Can cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I'm going to discount Cao Jue's leg! Take it easy for the princess!"

Hearing this, Cao Jue twisted his body and rolled to Concubine Defangdi, shouting, "No! Don't! Father, Queen Mother, save me!"

Defang frowned and turned her face away, Cao Jue cried loudly, "Father! My son knows I'm wrong! You can beat me and scold me, please don't let the elder brother break my leg!"
