Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang frowned slightly upon hearing this, Madam Zheng Guo hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Duke is drunk and talking nonsense after drinking, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Li Yu looked at Defang, "I was surrendered in front of His Highness three years ago. In His Highness's eyes, I, Li Yu, may not even be as good as a dog!"

"Your Majesty!" Defang shouted, "You're drunk!"

"I'm not drunk!" Li Yu shouted, "I asked you how much you can worry, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward, everything has passed, leaving only shame! You came just to see my joke!"

Defang stepped forward and pressed Li Yu on the chair, and sat opposite him, "Jungong! In your eyes, is this kind of person in this hall? When this hall led troops to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was forced by the war of the family and the country. Mutual attacks and mergers are inevitable, even if I, Song Dynasty, don't send troops to go there, there will be other forces to do it, if that's the case, the Duke of the county may end up in an even more miserable end!"

"Miserable? Could it be that I am miserable now?" Li Yu looked at Defang, "If I had known that I would be so humiliated today, I should have committed suicide in Jinling City back then!"

"Jungong" Defang said, "What's the point of saying this now? Look at Mrs. Zheng Guo, she has been following you, even for her, you have to live well, don't give up on yourself like this anymore."

"Madam..." Li Yu looked at Madam Zheng Guo, and suddenly shed tears, "I'm really sorry Madam, I'm incompetent."

"Jungong" Mrs. Zheng Guo's eyes were full of tears, she held Li Yu's hand and said, "Please don't say that."

After a while, Li Yu's mood improved. He stood up and saluted De Fang, "Your Highness, I just offended His Highness with crazy words, please forgive me."

Defang supported Li Yu, "Don't do this, the county lord. It is human nature to think that you have experienced great changes in the country and family. It is human nature to speak angrily. This hall will not blame you."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Li Yu said, "Your Highness will visit here every year, and Li Yu is here to thank you."

"You're so polite, Duke." De Fang smiled, "Today is the Duke's birthday, and I'm here to rejoice."

"Your Highness... There are no more than a dozen people in this county mansion, and there is nothing to entertain His Highness. It makes His Highness laugh."

"Oh, don't be afraid, it's good to have wine, hehehe" Defang sat down with Li Yu and Mrs. Zheng Guo, and Li Yu said, "I heard that His Royal Highness's concubine is about to give birth. Li Yu is here to congratulate His Highness, and may His Highness add another precious son."

"Thank you, Duke." Defang cupped his hands, "There are still more than two months, hehehe"
