Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Taizong bestowed such a conferment on the one hand for the guilt in his heart. Defang's elder brother is dead. If Defang has something to do, he will not be able to explain it to the world. Second, it is to shock the officials and give the son of the former emperor the title of king and authorization.Third, in this way, a precedent has been set, and he can also make his own son a king, and see who dares to say anything.None of the ministers dared to speak out, apart from prostrating or prostrating, all the ministers who had made small mistakes were afraid in their hearts. If one day they did something wrong, the little prince would not directly beat him to death. Passed the review.

After coming down to court, Defang walked out of the hall with the golden mace and Jiajun in her arms, and several ministers came over, "Your Highness is really highly regarded by His Majesty, and I am waiting to congratulate Your Highness."

"Your Excellency is too polite, it is right to serve the country," Defang said

"Now I'm going to address you as the prince!" Prime Minister Lu Duoxun said suddenly from the side, which shocked several ministers. "You guys, be careful!"

"Prime Minister Lu is really joking, what are we careful about?" A minister said, "We are all loyal ministers."

Lu Duosun glanced at it, then turned to Defang and said, "My lord, from now on, you have to be careful too."

Defang was stunned for a moment, "Why did Prime Minister Lu say that?"

"Surrounded by villains, the prince should not lose his head." Ludoxun said bluntly

The minister next to him was not happy. "Hey, I said Prime Minister, what do you mean? We are all officials in the same dynasty, so don't swear at others."

Seeing this, Defang was afraid of causing trouble, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Lu, for your advice. Xiao Wang made a note of it. I think the adults are kind enough to serve the country more."

"My lord is sympathetic," Ludoxun replied, then looked at several ministers, cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave first," turned around and left

"Look at him!" A minister said dissatisfied, "It seems that he is the only loyal minister."

Defang said, "Everyone, Xiao Wang believes that you are all the pillars of my Song Dynasty. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

"The prince's words are serious, and the prince's words are serious, and the ministers are willing to share the worries for the prince." Several ministers said

"Thank you, then Xiaowang will go back to the palace first." Defang arched his hands, turned around and walked out of the palace gate with Jiajun, and returned to Nanqing Palace in a sedan chair. On the way, the bearers and guards who carried their feet all smiled, It seems that the news of conferring the king is really fast. Lu Jiajun said, "Your Highness, the official decree will come down soon. It seems that there will be more people in the mansion recently."

Defang lifted the small curtain beside the sedan chair and said, "You mean?"

"There will definitely be many congratulatory people, Your Highness has been busy recently"

"..." Defang didn't speak, put down the small curtain, sat in the sedan chair and closed her eyes, her heart was still unrelieved, a little nervous, a little scared, and also a little inexplicable impulsive, nervous and afraid is her own After all, the elder brother committed suicide because of the emperor, and Taizong never pursued the matter of the Song family summoning him when Taizu passed away, but judging from the matter with his elder brother, Taizong must be wary of himself.

And this kind of inexplicable impulse is because he feels that such a big responsibility is entrusted to him. As a descendant of the Zhao family and the son of the Taizu, he has the responsibility to serve the country and be loyal to the king. If he doesn't do something, he will be worthy of the world.

Defang was thinking in the sedan chair, and returned to Nanqing Palace after a while. Nanqing Palace and the outer street are separated by an empty space. Usually there are four soldiers standing guard. Usually, few people come and it is often very quiet. At this time, there are already standing outside the door There were two rows of imperial guards, and the goalkeeper brought four soldiers to greet him. Baili ran over to lift up the sedan chair curtain, and Defang stepped out of the sedan chair. The soldiers knelt down and shouted "Welcome to the prince for a thousand years!"
