Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

The three sat down, Baili stood aside holding the birdcage, and Defang asked, "Yuan Yan, have you just returned to Beijing?"

"Yes, Brother Wang, the younger brother just returned to the capital, and he just entered the palace to report to Brother Huang, and came to Brother Wang's place as soon as he left the palace."

"I heard that you are going to inspect the border town this time. Do you know anything?"

"Brother Wang, my younger brother went to the border town and saw the suffering of the soldiers and generals. I couldn't bear it."

Defang nodded, "The border guards have been stationed all year round. They have no home to return to. They have to stick to the city every day. When they encounter the enemy, they forget to die and fight. Only the horse leather shroud can return to their hometown. For decades, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been like this. Why."

"Brother Wang, I really hope that one day, my Great Song Dynasty can live in peace with the Liao Kingdom and the Dangxiang. At that time, it will not only be a border town soldier, but also a blessing for the people."

"What Yuan Yan said is also the wish of His Majesty and the subjects. Brother Wang believes that such a vision will appear soon."

"The Liao people and Dangxiang are the most hateful." Yuan Yan was a little angry, "Although I really want to get along with them peacefully, but the thought of them invading my Song soil and killing my people indiscriminately makes people resentful!"

"Yuan Yan, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been constant battles with the Naliao people and Dangxiang. Taizu and Taizong have all gone to the battlefield in person. However, the border towns of our Song Dynasty have been turbulent for a long time, but now they are in different places. Fang is exhausted, they are unable to fight each other, and the people all hope for stability, although Brother Wang also thinks... hey, forget it. Let's not talk about it..." When it comes to these, Defang will think of dozens of people. In the years of wars, big and small, how many times he saw the corpses of soldiers piled up like mountains, and how many times he was humiliated by defeat, which made him feel very sad.

"Brother Wang. I'm sorry, little brother..." Yuan Yan saw that De Fang looked a little lonely, and knew that he had brought up something sad. I complain, but I can’t do anything for my country, I’m ashamed, brother! Please forgive me, Brother Wang!”

"Yuan Yan, Brother Wang didn't blame you. Brother Wang knows that Yuan Yan wants to do something great for the country."

"Brother Xie, I don't blame you. I have been taught by Brother Wang for a long time, and I have learned a lot. I will learn a lot from Brother Wang in the future." Yuan Yan said.

"Yuan Yan, you've been smart since you were young. Brother Wang believes that you will do something." De Fang looked at Yuan Yan, "And."

Yuan Yan looked up at Defang, "Brother Wang, and what?"

Defang smiled, "Yuanyan, you have a broad forehead, a thick jaw, and a serious expression. No wonder you don't need to speak. So many people are scared when they see you."

"There is such a thing? How come my little brother doesn't know?" Yuan Yan rubbed his head

"How dare they tell you this kind of thing, hehehe, Song Jiajun in Brother Wang's mansion is also very interesting, with a dark face all day long, and he doesn't smile at anything, as if the lonely king owes him eight hundred coins, hehehe "

"When Brother Wang said it, my younger brother also thought it was true." Yuan Yan smiled and said, "He is more serious than my younger brother, haha"

The two brothers were talking, when a servant suddenly ran in, "Your Highness! Your Majesty! Please let the villain be the master!"

Jia Jun held down the servant and shouted, "Bold! You actually disturbed the lord and empress and His Royal Highness!"

"Jiajun," Defang said, "let go of him first."

"Yes" Jia Jun stood beside the servant

Defang looked at the servant, "Are you a servant of the Guwangfu?"

"Back to the lord, the villain is" said the servant, wiping away tears
