Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Ah?" Defang was shocked, "Ma'am, what you mean is that His Majesty left Mrs. Zheng Guo today...that's...impossible..."

"Is there anything impossible?" Ming Zhi said, "Your Majesty has long had a good impression of Mrs. Zheng Guo, just like..."

"Like what?"

Mingzhi leaned into Defang's ear and said, "Just like Mrs. Huarui back then."

Defang was stunned when she heard this. Mrs. Huarui, the woman loved by her father, had heard that Taizong liked her very much, but in the end she was shot to death by Taizong. Although he kept saying that it was an accident, Taizu also I didn't pursue it, but this incident was widely circulated, and I heard a lot when I was in the palace when I was young.

"This...would the emperor really do this? This...will be ridiculed by the world."

"Your Highness, even if the world ridicules, they also ridicule Li Yu, the subjugated monarch. He can't even protect his own woman, and he has to live in such a humiliating way, but His Majesty is different. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Who dares to laugh at the Holy One."

"Is this really the case?" Defang still didn't want to believe it.

"Your Highness, what will happen tonight, we will know soon."

Half a month later, Defang went back to the mansion, took Ming Zhi back to the dormitory, and said softly, "Madam, it seems that Madam really expected that Mrs. Zheng Guo hasn't returned to the mansion for more than ten days since the fifteenth day. It is said that he has been staying in the inner palace."

Hearing this, Mingzhi shook his head with sadness on his face, "The destruction of the country and family is the most painful thing, and I never thought about it...hey..."

"How could this be... Uncle Emperor..." Defang also sighed endlessly.

"What about Li Yu and Mrs. Zheng Guo now?"

"I heard that Rongxi sent Mrs. Zheng Guo back to the county government yesterday, and then heard Mrs. Zheng Guo's constant crying and scolding, but she never heard what Li Yu said."

"What else can he do when something like this happens?" Mingzhi sighed.

Defang said sadly, "Li Yu has nothing now. As a monarch, he lost his family and country, and as a husband, he lost his wife. Hey... a man living like this is really a thousand times more painful than death."

In the next few months, Mrs. Zheng Guo was taken to the palace several times, and each time she stayed for a few days before being sent back.Later, Wang Zhi of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Mental Notes": "Xiao Zhou followed his wife into the palace, and every time he entered the palace for a few days, he would cry loudly when he came out, scolding the empress, who was heard outside, and the empress was so tactful." Avoid it."

Even though Li Yu is a talented literati, he can't get rid of his shame as a subjugated king. Born in the emperor's house, it is difficult to protect his family and country. As a husband, he is unable to protect his wife who sleeps on the pillow. For him, dignity has long been Nothing left.

In troubled times, only Wenzhiwugong can establish a family and a hegemony. How can a few poems save the people from suffering?
