Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di put down Wei Xian, Wei Xian went to the bedside and looked at Tian Cheng, "Brother Cheng, I was wrong, I'm sorry"

"Second Highness, I'm really fine." Tian Cheng also looked at Wei Xian, "It's because I didn't pay attention, not Second Highness' fault."

"Brother Cheng, does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all." Tian Cheng smiled, "The national player said that he will recover tomorrow."

Weixian looked at Defang, "Father..."

Defang patted Weixian's head, "Hey, be obedient, don't hit people indiscriminately, and next time, Father will definitely spank your ass."

"En." Wei Xian nodded, "My child is obedient."

Defang and Concubine Di stayed with Tian Cheng for a while, watching him fall asleep before leaving the house, led Weixian to see the injured servant, Defang asked Baili why he wanted the young servant here, Baili explained the reason. When he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look at the roster, he happened to meet a new batch of small servants and maids. He wanted to choose 14-year-old children, but seeing the immature faces of these five children , she felt pity in her heart, and thought that she had suffered, so she sent all five of them to Nanqing Palace. Defang agreed after hearing this. Anyway, her original intention was to find a companion for the children, which was also good, so after discussing, Defang Fang and Concubine Di decided to let 12-year-old Tang Xing follow the eldest son Weixu, 10-year-old Shanqun and Wei Xian, 9-year-old Fang Yu and the youngest son Wei Neng, and Li Xiaojiang and Wang Meijia siblings to take care of Weiling.

In the second half of the year, the imperial court began to formally appoint scholars and judges of various state capitals. Due to the needs of the war, the imperial court ordered the suspension of this year's scientific research.

On the first day of April, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty arrived in the northern suburbs of Nanjing (in today's Beijing)

In the last ten days of the month, when the weather was fine, Defang went back to the residence, and when she learned that Concubine Di was still in the garden, she changed her clothes and went over. "Ma'am, I'm so excited, I'll go to the garden to drink tea and enjoy the flowers."

"The concubine just sat down for a while, my lord, is there any good news today?"

"Yes, the good news is coming around frequently." Defang sat on the stone bench very happily and said, "Last month, since the commander of Feihu Guard Ma Budu, Lu Xingde, the deputy commander of the capital, Zhang Jicong, and the commander of Ma Jundu, Liu Zhijin, donated In the city, the Lingqiu garrison general and infantry commanded Mu Chao to surrender without a fight. Our army's momentum rose sharply. General Pan conquered Yunzhou in one fell swoop, and General Mi Xin repelled the reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom in the Xincheng area. General Mi led only 300 dragon guards under his command to resist, but they were soon surrounded. At that time, the enemy's arrows were raining like raindrops, and more than half of the 300 people were killed or injured. General Cao Bin sent Li Jixuan to lead the army to rescue, and then broke through the new city. In addition, General Lu Tian defeated the Liao bandits outside Feihu City and beheaded two tribal leaders. General Tian took advantage of the situation and arrived in Weizhou. Envoy Xiao Moli, he was going to defend the city to the death, but unexpectedly, his subordinates, Li Cunzhang, Xu Yanqin and other officials joined forces to kill him, and also captured the city supervisor Geng Shaozhong, opened the city gate and surrendered to our army."

"Your Majesty, this time the troops are sent to the north, and the capital is constantly reporting success every day. Half of the ten guards surrendered without a fight. It seems that the people at the border still return their hearts to our Great Song Dynasty."

"What Ma'am said is that I, Song Renhou, founded the country, and I am the lord of the Central Plains. The people of the world will return to their hearts. The border people of the Liao border are waiting for the arrival of the imperial army all the time. This time, hundreds of thousands of troops have reached the border. The Great Song Dynasty flags are planted all over the city gates, and the people are waiting for this day."

"Whatever the will of the people, we will be with each other at the right time, and the victory of the jihad will come like snow."
