Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di looked at the book and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that His Majesty entrusted you with the assignment of duties?"

"Yes." Defang smiled, "If others know, the gate of Nanqing Palace will be smashed today. Speaking of which, Du Wenkai really knows how to choose a date."

"Master Du is not choosing a date, he is here specially to worship the prince."

"I don't know if it's true or not. I always feel that he is more than that."

"My lord, what did you say?"

"He is an eighth-rank official from another county, not to mention being with Gu Wang, even the Tianzimen and friends who have passed the examination of Gu Wang, he dares to come directly to the Nanqing Palace of Gu Wang as soon as he enters the capital, then he is not To be bold is to have another purpose."

"My lord Du has admired the reputation of the prince for a long time, and I have prepared a special gift to bow down at the mansion. You should stop thinking about him."

"Ma'am, that's not what I meant. I just think this person is very strange. He's different from other people."

"Then maybe this Lord Du is so special."

"The madam seems to speak for him. Could it be that the madam really sees that he will be a capable official?"

"How does a concubine, a woman, know this? It's the imperial court who sent Mr. Du back to the capital, and it's the prince who sent him. The concubine can't talk too much."

"Hey" Defang smiled, "This is in Nanqing Palace, what the madam said, dare the lonely king not listen, hehehe"

"My lord, there are seventeen officials in this booklet, so don't you have to work harder these few days?"

"It's not hard, I'll just read the books. There's nothing wrong with the officials transferred back to Beijing by the imperial court."

"Then you only see Master Du now, don't you see the others?"

"It should be that they came to worship the lonely king, right? This Du Wenkai is quite interesting, so let it be his life."

"The prince has already decided what position to assign to him?"

"Well, according to his wishes, he entered the Ministry of Punishment and served as a lawyer in the capital, which is what he wanted."

"The concubine knows that the prince knows people with his eyes. Lord Du will definitely not let you down for his promotion."

"If that's the case, it would be great, hehehe." Defang stood up, "Madam, let me give Xinkang a hug."

As soon as Defang was about to take over Xinkang's goalkeeper, he ran in, "My lord! There are people from the palace, Your Majesty hastened to call the lord into the palace to discuss matters!"

"What's so urgent?"

"Back to the prince, people from the palace said that there is an emergency military situation at the border. Prime Minister Lu and Lord Kou have already rushed to the Chongzheng Palace."

Defang frowned, "Ma'am, I still have to enter the palace, so Madam doesn't have to wait for me to eat, take a break after lunch, and I'll be back soon."

"Well, the concubine knows, my lord, you can go."

Defang came to the Chongzheng Hall in a sedan chair. At this time, Lu Mengzheng and Kou Zhun were already in the hall. Before Defang opened his mouth, Zhenzong said, "Brother Emperor, come quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Defang walked to the royal case, "Your Majesty, what happened at the border?"

"Li Jiqian of Dangxiang assembled [-] cavalry to besiege Linzhou." Zhenzong took out a battle report, "The battle is extremely urgent, and the soldiers in Linzhou are tight. The guards asked the court for reinforcements."

Defang read the battle report and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jiqian rushed to Linzhou with heavy troops. He probably wanted to go straight to the Song Dynasty. The Baode and Kelan Army areas are full of granaries. Li Jiqian probably went to grab food and grass."

"That's the case." Zhenzong frowned and said, "If Linzhou is broken, Fuzhou will be in danger. The Baode and Kelan troops can only defend along the Yellow River. In this case, Li Jiqian must turn to attack the north of Linzhou Toyosu, wouldn't Toyosu become an isolated and dangerous city."
