Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, ma'am." De Fang smiled, hugging Concubine Di, "Suddenly I really want to drink the soup stewed by Madam."

"Okay, the concubine will go to make soup and drink it when you come back," Mingzhi said

Defang kissed Mingzhi's forehead, "Thank you Ma'am."

Taizu rode the imperial sedan chair towards the direction of Daxi Bridge, and Defang followed the imperial sedan chair on horseback. When Taizu's imperial sedan chair reached the Daxi Bridge, an arrow suddenly shot at the side of the imperial sedan chair. At the front, the sound was very loud, which shows how powerful the archery is. Everyone was taken aback, and the guard general hurriedly shouted, "Guard!"

Defang turned her head and saw the arrow, she couldn't help being covered in cold sweat. The arrow hit the front of the sedan chair, and if it missed any more, it would have shot into the sedan chair. So Defang pulled out her sword, and quickly reined in her horse and retreated to the imperial sedan chair, "Father Emperor!" ! Are you all right?"

Taizu stepped out of the sedan chair and asked, "What's going on?"

"Father, there is an assassin shooting a cold arrow, look." Defang pointed at the arrow, Taizu turned his head to look, stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow and said, "Assassin?"

At this time, the guard general ran over, "Your Majesty! Please return to the sedan chair quickly, the last general will immediately order someone to catch the assassin!"

"No need!" Emperor Taizu said

"Father, how can you let the assassin go?" Defang asked

Taizu smiled, and shouted to the front, "Since he is an assassin, he must have arrows!" As he said this, the emperor untied his imperial robe, exposed his chest and said, "Here I am! Teach archery! Teach archery!"

Everyone was startled when they saw this. Defang and the general guard looked around nervously, fearing that another arrow would be shot, but there was no movement at all. Seeing this, Taizu said, "I conquer the world, conquer the four directions, and pacify the Central Plains. I think I am worthy of the people of the Li people, I will give you a chance today, but if no more arrows come, the strong men will return if they have no courage to shoot again!"

There was still silence at this time, Taizu returned to the sedan chair and said, "Get up the sedan chair!" The guard general looked at Defang, Defang put away his sword and nodded, so the sedan chair team continued to move forward, and returned to the palace after patrolling.

Taizu got off the sedan chair and said, "Defang, you didn't get scared just now, did you?"

"Go back to father, son... I was really scared."

Taizu smiled, "How can I do that, you are my prince, you must be calm when things happen."

"My sons and ministers always remember the teachings of the father and the emperor" Defang worshiped

"En." Taizu patted Defang and nodded, "Go back to your side hall, Mingzhi is still waiting for you."

"Father...my son...well..."

"What? Is there anything else?" Taizu asked

"My son wants to know, why did the emperor let the assassin go just now? There was no movement around just now, if you send someone to look for it, you will definitely be able to catch the thief."

"So that's the matter." Taizu supported De Fang's shoulders and said as he walked towards the inner palace, "If he is really a bribed assassin, he will not dare to show his true colors, and he will definitely not dare to move again because of the presence of the imperial guards. What's the point of father arresting such a person?" Defang nodded upon hearing this, and Taizu continued, "If he is a strong man who wants to assassinate Yu, no matter how many people are there, he will definitely shoot again or jump out to fight with his life. , then my fate will be determined by the heavens, since it is the destiny, why should my father be afraid? So it doesn't matter whether he is caught or not."

Defang nodded, "My son understands, thank you, father."

"Defang" Taizu hammered Defang's chest with his fist, "Practice martial arts and writing well, and you must be calm when things happen, don't panic, get yourself confused, understand?"

"Yes, Royal Father, I would like to follow the instructions." Defang bowed.
