Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Zhenzong looked at Li Wa and said, "Prime Minister, the compilation of the calendar is an important matter for the family and the country. There must be no difference. I understand the loyalty of the Prime Minister to the late emperor. However, the late emperor also put the affairs of the people in the world first. What's more, there are indeed deviations in the current calendar. To make corrections so that the people can farm and animal husbandry according to the weather, this is what the late emperor wanted."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what your Majesty said is true, I know I was wrong, please forgive me." Li Wa kowtowed

Zhenzong nodded, "Prime Minister, please, I have no intention of blaming the Prime Minister."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Wa got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead

"Kou Aiqing" Zhenzong said, "You will supervise this matter, let the officials of Sitianjian recalculate and compile the almanac, and distribute the engraved and printed books in time."

"I obey the order!" Kou Zhun bowed

The three of them withdrew from the Chongzheng Hall, and Li Wa came to Defang's side, "My lord, the minister just now has no other intentions."

"Prime Minister" Defang smiled, "The lonely king understands what the prime minister thinks, but if you don't stop the prime minister just now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to make up his mind to correct the almanac. If the lonely king hurts the prime minister with his words, please forgive me."

"How dare I, the prince is loyal to the king and the heart of the country, the minister is ashamed, ashamed, ashamed."

Kou Zhun came over, "Prime Minister, there's no need to be like this. Being an official in the same dynasty will inevitably have some disputes, but it's all for the sake of the community, and there is no personal grudge. Prime Minister, don't think too much."

Defang nodded, "Master Kou's words are very true, the lonely king is not targeting the prime minister, please rest assured."

"Thank you, my lord," Li Wa cupped his hands

After Li Wa left, Kou Zhun said, "Your Majesty, your words are more effective. Your Majesty will immediately order to correct the almanac."

"Don't flatter me all the time. Your Majesty intended to correct the almanac. It's just because of the late emperor's order that he had some scruples. That's why I summoned the three of us in the Chongzheng Palace after the court. In fact, no matter who it is, as long as you are firm in your Majesty's will." Just do what you want."

"No, no, just now, my lord, your words scared the prime minister into such a state. His Majesty's attitude changed all of a sudden, and the order of correction was issued immediately. It's still your words, your lord, that carry weight."

"It's fine, fine, it's no good to flatter the lonely king, and the lonely king doesn't like this."

"Kou is just telling the truth." Kou Zhun smiled

"Don't laugh, there are so many words, you are the emperor's life now, so hurry up and do it."

"Yes, yes, Kou will go first," Kou Zhun cupped his hands

Sitianjian Shixu received the imperial order and immediately re-edited the new calendar on the basis of the old calendar. In March of the same year, the new calendar was compiled. Zhenzong specially named it "Yitian Calendar" and ordered Zhu Ang, a Hanlin scholar Write a preface for the new calendar and issue it nationwide.

In the same month, in order to facilitate the control of the remote southwest Sichuan and Shu regions, the imperial court ordered to divide Xichuan Road into Yizhou and Lizhou Roads, and divide Xia Road into Zizhou and Kuizhou Roads, and build government offices respectively.In April, he also ordered Song Taichu, a doctor who knew Yizhou and Youjianyi, to serve as the transfer envoy of the four roads of Chuanxia to coordinate the transportation in the area, so as to prevent the states and counties from forming their own battles and losing balance.

In April, Yang Si and Yang Yanlang served as patrol inspectors along the border. They were extremely brave in the battle of the Liao Dynasty. In order to praise the achievements of the two, Zhenzong ordered Yang Si, the governor of Baozhou, and Yang Yanlang, the governor of Mozhou, to be the training envoys of the state regiment.
