Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, yes, ma'am." De Fang took a sip of tea, "After the Taizu stood still, he was very angry. At that time, he drew out his sword and wanted to kill the mount. The people around did not dare to make a sound when they saw this posture, but Taizu held his After holding on to the handle for a long time, he suddenly put the knife back into its sheath, then sighed and laughed at himself, and everyone looked at Taizu puzzled."

"Isn't Emperor Taizu reluctant to kill his beloved horse?"

Defang shook his head, "Taizu said that he rode and shot safari, which delayed the affairs of the family and the country. He galloped on a whim, and now it was his fault that he fell off the horse. What did he have to do with the horse? Since then, Taizu has never hunted again. matter."

"It turned out to be like this. Emperor Taizu always introspected himself. It is the way of heaven that the world returns to Song."

"What Ma'am is talking about." Defang nodded, "This is the first time that the emperor has brought the royal family and important ministers to hunt. It is really rare. The lonely king is really very happy."

"Then the prince should be careful, don't hurt yourself."

"How could it be? The lonely king's arrow skills are not bad, and his horse riding is also good, so he won't get hurt."

Concubine Di said, "This royal hunting is nothing compared to others. There will definitely be comparisons among the princes, and there will inevitably be unexpected situations when riding in the forest. Prince, you must not be brave. If you lose, you will lose."

"Yes" Defang took Concubine Di's hand, "I listen to Madam, the lonely king doesn't compete with them, he doesn't run so fast."

"The prince can't be perfunctory with his concubines."

"Oh, how dare I perfunctory Madam, I promise to come back unscathed." Defang smiled

"My lord, put on the soft armor this time."

"Soft armor? No need, I'm not a prey, no one shoots, hehehe" Defang laughed.

Concubine Di patted Defang, "My lord, this concubine is serious."

"Okay, okay, I'll just put it on." Defang nodded. At this moment, Concubine Di suddenly said, "Baili, Ke'er, you and your attendants retreat fifty steps away. I want to talk to the prince."

"Yes, ma'am." Baili and Ke'er made everyone back away, and Defang asked after seeing this, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Concubine Di approached and said, "It's the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne that he took all the members of the royal family out to hunt. The concubine is afraid that something will happen to you, my lord."

Defang was very puzzled, "Why did Madam say that? How could His Majesty hunt the lonely king?"

"My lord, my concubine once heard something, I believe my lord knows about it too."

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of Concubine Fei." Concubine Di said softly

"Fei Guifei?" Defang thought for a while, and suddenly he thought of something, "Madam mean... Madam Huarui?"

Concubine Di nodded, "Exactly."

Defang looked around, and said softly, "Why did Madam mention her? She is the concubine of Meng Chang of Hou Shu. Although the former emperor also made her a noble concubine, no one dared to mention this matter."

"My lord, my concubine understands, but does the lord know about Mrs. Huarui's rumors?"

"I know a little, but I'm not very clear. The lonely king was still a child back then, so he didn't know much about it."

"My lord, my concubine heard that the late emperor favored Mrs. Huarui very much, but it also caused her death."

Defang frowned, "Ma'am, the late Emperor really liked Mrs. Huarui very much, and he did have a period of time's favor, but I heard that Mrs. Huarui did not really obey the late Emperor, but still did not forget Meng Chang, for the sake of Mrs. Huarui I can't be disrespectful to the late Emperor, but I don't think it's worth it for such a woman."

"Whether it's worth it or not is not important now, what the concubine cares about now is you, the lord."
