Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I'm not worried about this, Ling'er will agree, and I will take good care of Ling'er, nothing will happen."

"That's good, this time I sent the elder brother of the emperor's sister-in-law and the son-in-law of the emperor's brother, don't blame me, the emperor, haha"

"How dare I, this is His Majesty's trust in them, allowing them to serve the country."

"Well, that's exactly what I think." Zhenzong nodded, "They are also considered relatives of the emperor's brother. The transportation and handover of property is indispensable for this disaster investigation, and I am relieved to let them handle it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Zhenzong patted Defang's hand, "The only person I trust the most is Brother Huang."

Defang looked at Zhenzong and said "Thank you, Your Majesty"

Defang returned to the mansion with the reward from Zhenzong and the decree to Pan Weixi. After reading the decree, Pan Weixi looked at Weiling, "Madam, I'm going to Yunzhou to investigate disasters. Madam, please take care."

Wei Ling nodded, "Well, don't worry, I will, you must fulfill the emperor's order and return."

Defang patted Pan Weixi on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much. Your uncle Di will also go with you this time. He will take care of you. Ling'er can rest assured."

Weiling supported Defang, "Father, besides uncle and son-in-law, who else will go?"

"There are also accompanying medical officers and people from the Ministry of Industry, not many. They have to arrive in Yunzhou earlier to prevent the spread of the disease."

"Would that be dangerous?"

"Don't worry too much. Follow the doctor's instructions and you'll be fine." Defang patted Weiling's hand and looked at Pan Weixi. let's go."

"It's the father, ma'am, I'll prepare first."

Weiling nodded, Pan Weixi ran to get ready, Defang said, "Ling'er, you don't blame your father for not stopping Lord Zhao from letting Weixi go to Yunzhou, right?"

"No wonder, my uncle also hopes that Weixi can serve the country. How can my father stop my uncle from showing his sincerity for the country?"

Defang smiled, "Father knows that Ling'er can best understand father's heart, hehehe"

"Father, go and see the queen mother."

"What happened to your mother?" Defang asked

"The queen mother went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard early in the morning, but she hasn't come out yet."

"Buddhist hall?" Defang looked towards the backyard, "Why did she go there, how could... hey."

"Father, Ling'er will go with you."

Defang nodded, "That's okay." The father and daughter came to the Buddhist hall in the backyard. Defang used to come here often. The Buddhist hall was originally set up in the mansion to enshrine the tablets of Emperor Taizu and Defang's birth mother. Later, Dezhao was enshrined. In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, Emperor Taizong chose Defang two wives, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li, to enter the mansion. At that time, Defang was ill in bed because of the pain of losing his brother, and both of them were Taizong The daughter of a confidant general, so she seldom sees the two of them, but the two wives are kind-hearted people, and they understand what is right and wrong in their hearts, so they both proposed to move to the Buddhist hall and chant scriptures for the dead. The two got along, so they agreed to them. The two never mentioned Defang's neglect. Taizong also named Wang as Yipin's wife in 981, and Li as Yipin's wife in 982. The two recited scriptures for the dead very much. Pious, in 995 the Buddhist hall added a memorial tablet for Empress Song. Since then, the eldest son Weixu will come here to offer incense on behalf of Defang on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. He will also invite eminent monks to chant sutras. The maidservant came here to clean, but almost no one came.
