Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

At the beginning of August in 978, the third year of Taiping Xingguo, Emperor Taizong ordered officials from Zhejiang and Zhejiang to arrange to send relatives and officials of Huaihai King Qian Chu to Bianjing. A total of [-] ships were used, and the places passing by were protected by troops.Then Qian Weizhi, the son of Qian Chu, handed over all the affairs of the two Zhejiang provinces to Fan Min, the magistrate of Hangzhou, and then went to Bianjing with his younger brother Qian Weiyan to meet Taizong.In the last ten days, Emperor Taizong received Qian Weizhi and his party in the Changchun Palace, and rewarded them respectively.The next day, court officials presented Taizong with the honorary title "Emperor Yingyun Tongtian Shengming Ming Wenwu Emperor", and Taizong approved it.

At the beginning of September, Emperor Taizong visited the Jiangwu Hall in person, and conducted a re-examination for the students who had passed the Jinshi scientific examination reported by the Ministry of Rites, and Jinshi had an additional test question.Since then, the re-examination for Jinshi has three questions.A total of 74 people including Hu Dan from Bohai County were admitted this time; the next day, another 70 people were admitted in other examinations; all of them were awarded official qualifications.Then a banquet was held in Yingchun Garden to entertain these new officials. (Usually, the Ministry of Rites only begins to recruit officials in the spring. This special recruitment is not a routine.)

In late September, all the people in Nanqing Palace were happy, because Mingzhi was about to give birth, and the entire mansion had already made preparations. The midwife moved into the mansion early, and even the hot water was continuously burning. Someone cleaned it, and the small brazier was always on, so the room was always warm.

Defang supported Mingzhi and walked in the garden, "Madam, I've been walking for a while, let's sit in the pavilion."

"Okay." Mingzhi nodded, and the two walked slowly to the pavilion. The lounge chair and tea had already been prepared in the pavilion. Defang helped Mingzhi sit on the lounge chair, and she sat on the side, stroking Mingzhi's stomach with one hand and said. "This little guy is finally coming out soon. I want to see what this naughty kid looks like."

Mingzhi smiled and said, "Son, your father wants to see you, when will you come out?"

"I'll spank him when he comes out." Defang waved his hand, "Hey! Little guy, you've made your mother so miserable. You've been moving and moving for the past few months. Your mother hasn't slept well yet. Daddy wants to spank your ass!"

Ming Zhi moved his body, "Look, Your Highness, he is upset and kicking me again."

"Naughty little guy, you dare to lose your temper with your parents before you come out." Defang smiled, and put her face on Mingzhi's stomach. "Son, you have to come out safely, and your parents will love you very much."
