Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty sent him to Xijing on business."

"Go out and show off your power, hum!"

Zhang Wenxi said with a smile, "If he comes back, your lord will be angry again."

"Hehehehe, yes, then come back later."

The two had a conversation, the crown prince and the prime minister Lu Duan walked out of the Chongzheng Hall, Zhang Wenxi hurried over to greet him, Defang also walked over, the three saluted each other, the crown prince Zhao Heng said, "Brother Wang, are you feeling unwell recently?"

"No, maybe it was because I read too much last night and didn't sleep well."

"Brother Wang, it's your fault. Rest when you rest. Why do you have to read books for so long? I know that Brother Wang is in the palace and his heart is in court, but your body is important."

"Yes, the words of His Royal Highness will be remembered by the minister."

"Brother Wang, don't be so polite all the time, I'm not used to it, hehehe"

"The number of etiquette should be observed, and the number of etiquette should be observed." Defang smiled

"Your Majesty," Lu Duan said, "Your Majesty is still waiting for you, please hurry up."

"Yes, yes, Brother Wang, go in quickly."

"Okay, please, please." The three of Defang bowed their hands together, and then entered the Chongzheng Hall. Before saluting, Taizong said, "Nephew, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." De Fang sat aside, Taizong looked at Zhang Wenxi at the door, "Xiao Xizi, close the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Wenxi closed the door, and Defang got up and cupped her hands, "Your Majesty, I apologize."

"Nephew, why did you plead guilty just after arriving at the Chongzheng Hall?"

"Only just now, above the court, minister... Your minister... I'm being rude..."

"Hehehe, it's okay, it's okay, isn't it boring recently?"

"The minister is not bored...the minister..."

"Want to go out for a walk?"

Defang looked up at Taizong in surprise, thinking: No way?Has His Majesty seen it all?Seeing Defang's expression, Taizong smiled and said, "Did I guess right? Hehehe"

Defang hurriedly lowered her head, "Chen..."

"The emperor's nephew hasn't been out of Beijing for more than a year. It's time to go out for a walk and take my nephew and concubine to relax."

"Your Majesty... I really want to... go out for a walk, so... today I intend to ask Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Oh? Hehehe, then I really guessed right."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he knows everything."

Taizong shook his head and nodded to Defang's heart, "I'm not a god, so I can't guess what your nephew is thinking."

"I...I am terrified...I am loyal to His Majesty."

"Oh, that's not what I meant." Taizong patted Defang on the back, "Tell me, where can the imperial nephew want to ask me for favor?"

Defang looked at Taizong and said softly, "I want to go to Wu'an and Huashan."

"Wu'an? Huashan?" Taizong thought for a while, "Nephew, why are these two places?"

Defang explained the reason, and Taizong smiled and said, "Nephew, even if you go to Wu'an and Huashan, how much can you know about the late emperor? I'm afraid you will be very sad again. Besides, the road to the north to Wu'an is bumpy, and there are high mountains and small mountains along the way. There is nothing to admire in the town and the garrison camp. If you go to Mount Hua, it will be too high and too dangerous. It may hurt you and your concubine. Since you are going to play, why does your nephew make your heart and body so tired? Woolen cloth?"

Defang was a little disappointed hearing this, Taizong said, "Nephew, why don't I help you choose a place?"

"May I ask Your Majesty, where do you want me to go?"

"Huainan East-West Road, Jiangnan East-West Road, Jinghu North Road, follow the emperor's nephew to play."

Defang was puzzled, "Your Majesty, why these places?"
