Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Master Zhang thought for a while, "Brother Li, why don't you do this, think that the three of them have not gone far, you send a servant to follow, and see if this Zhao Xian is the legendary Eight Sage Kings."

"That's good, feel at ease." Master Li summoned his servants, "Ding Wan, hurry up and follow the talented Eight Masters and see who they are."

"Yes, master." Ding Wan chased out of the mansion, followed Defang and the others, and said as he walked for a hundred miles, "My lord, this Wabu is really a town of gentlemen."

"Yes." Defang nodded, "You and I are dressed in such dirty clothes, so not only did Mr. Li not dislike him, but he also treated us with courtesy. He invited us into the main hall, sat at a round table to toast and eat food, and when he left, he actually thought of us. I gave you loose silver, if you and I are really beggars, what a gift this should be."

"Prince" Shang En said, "Master Li is a good person, don't you reward him?"

"Of course I want to reward, and I have already rewarded."

"Already rewarded?" Shan En touched his head and thought for a while, "Oh! The subordinates know it! [Junzili]"

"Yes, there is [Gentleman Li] in [Gentlemen], hahahaha"

Ding Wan, who followed behind, heard his legs go limp, thinking: What's going on?How did a beggar become a prince?So they followed again, the three of them left Zhennan, joined Jia Jun and the others, and Jia Jun ran over, "My lord, it's been so long since I came back."

"Yes, we ate food and drank good wine in Li's house, and" De Fang stretched out his hand, "Master Li also gave Sanyin back."

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "what's the matter? After eating the food and wine, you gave me some silver?"

"Yes, ma'am, I'll tell you slowly on the way, hehehe." Defang returned to the carriage and changed her clothes, combed her hair crown, and when she got out of the carriage again, she looked like an extravagant master. Ding Wan was lying in the bushes Seeing the truth, he waited until Defang and his party were far away before getting up and running back to Li's mansion.

Master Li believed it when he heard this, and couldn't help trembling inexplicably. Master Zhang helped him steady and said, "Brother Li is really lucky. I actually saw the Eight Sage Kings. Now the prince's calligraphy is in your hands. Wan Jin!"

Mr. Li walked back to the table, looked at the three big characters of "Gentlemen", and hurriedly asked his servants to invite craftsmen to frame the words. After Defang left, he went to the post station and wrote a letter back to Beijing. In a few days, the Wabu Li Mansion The court officials came and told him that the person who came that day was indeed the Eight Sage Kings. Master Li hurriedly took out the Defang calligraphy. According to the emperor's order, the officials transported a piece of high-quality bluestone more than ten feet long from Shouzhou, and ordered the capital to come. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry enlarged Defang's calligraphy and carved it on the bluestone, and then erected the stone gate of "Junzili" in the south of the town. The court also granted the three sons of Master Li from the ninth rank of official positions, and rewarded everyone in Junzili .

Thinking of what De Fang said, Mr. Li knelt down and kowtowed: Mr. Li is kind-hearted and benevolent, and his descendants will be rewarded with blessings. The town of gentlemen in Wabu should be a descendant of Li Shimen.

Defang and the others were still going south along the road, and Jia Jun asked, "My lord, further on is Huainan West Road."

"Okay, go along the official road, pass Huainan, and go straight to Jinghu North Road. I heard that there were many cases of missing children in the early years. I don't know if the situation has changed after the decree."

"Yes, my lord!"

The eight people went all the way to Jinghu North Road, and went to several towns and state capitals when crossing Huainan West Road. The decree was thoroughly implemented, and Defang was very pleased to see that the people lived in peace and prosperity. Taizong reported the local personnel.
