Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

The thick candles in the room were always on, when Defang suddenly thought of the imperial decree, "Oh, I'm so confused, why I forgot even the imperial decree." The person he forgot was the hero who he had forgotten, but after reading it, he found out that the people Taizong pointed out that he forgot to ask for credit were himself and Concubine Di. Fifty pieces, five sets of xiafu, and gifts to enter the palace in sedan chairs.

Defang looked at the imperial decree, feeling a little complicated in his heart. Although he knew that Emperor Taizong was suspicious and guarded against him, he had always treated him with generous rewards. Over the years, Defang had experienced several things in heaven and earth. The emperor's repeated temperament, although he was a little afraid, was more of a stubbornness against Taizong in his heart. Defang knew very well that Taizong had done unforgivable things to people from Taizu's lineage, but everything was beyond measure. Redemption, so all the kindness towards me now is just to alleviate the guilt in Taizong's heart, but Defang is a person who values ​​family affection, and the struggle for the throne has always been like this. The past is over, and it is not easy for me to live. After all, Taizong is his own uncle, no matter what, what he has today is given by Taizong. As a courtier and a junior, Defang can only endure the contradiction in his heart.

When it was getting dark, Defang blew out the candle and opened the door, only to see Baili leaning on the pillar and falling asleep in a daze. Defang understood that it was because Baili was worried that she would stay at the door all the time, watching this follower Defang, who has been her servant for 30 years, has always regarded him as a relative in her heart. Although there is a huge difference in status, Defang has never cared about this. Seeing him like this now, she feels very unbearable, so she patted him. Li woke up all of a sudden, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"There are orders, the lonely king wants you to go back to the house now, and lie on the bed for three hours without getting up."

"Ah?" Baili opened his mouth, unable to understand what Defang said for a while.

Defang looked at Baili, "Baili, why don't you always listen to what the lonely king says, why don't you go to rest, and you're still standing here all night."
