Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes." Concubine Di nodded, "Your grandfather is also the founding hero of the Song Dynasty. He is not only good at fighting, but also loves to read, dabbles in history and biography, and knows how to govern. He has good governance in everything. When your grandfather was left behind in Xijing Before, the place was very chaotic and bandits were rampant. Emperor Taizu sent your grandfather to manage it. Your grandfather only took less than two months to capture all the bandits, and personally tried the backlog of cases, releasing many innocent people. Your grandfather was ordered by the Taizu Emperor to supervise the construction of the new palace, and the Queen Mother was pregnant with your elder brother for just four months, and the happy event and the great work were together, and your Taizu Grandpa was very happy."

"Grandpa is really powerful. He can fight wars, build palaces, catch bandits and try cases. He is even better than Master Zhang!"

"Ling'er," De Fang said, "Your grandfather is indeed very powerful, and he loves your father and queen mother very much. He is not only a capable minister and general of the country, but also a loving father to your father and queen mother. Few people can compare with him."

"Ling'er has a grandpa, a grandpa, a grandpa, a queen mother, an uncle who is a high official, and three elder brothers who are generals." Wei Ling said with a smile, "Father, that Ling'er is the most powerful." right?"

"Hahaha" Defang laughed, "Yes, yes, the little princess is the best, hahaha"

"Father, that Lord Zhang is not as powerful as Ling'er, is he?"

"Yes, not as powerful as Ling'er, haha"

"Father, did the lord Zhang stop the imperial palanquin of Grandpa Taizu, did no one catch him?"

"Of course, he was pushed to the ground by the imperial guards as soon as he rushed out. Your great-grandfather didn't see him at first, but Mr. Zhang yelled to see the emperor. It was quite effective. Your great-grandfather walked out The sedan chair asked what was going on, and before the guards could reply, Master Zhang shouted that he would offer the emperor a strategy for governing the country. Emperor Taizu was very happy when he heard that someone wanted to offer a strategy for governing the country, so he ordered someone to take him to the palace for questioning. .”

"Father, that lord Zhang has a very loud voice."

"Isn't that right, he stopped the emperor's sedan chair and shouted loudly, who would dare to change it for someone else, hehehehe" Defang continued, "Master Zhang was taken to the palace, and the emperor Taizu saw him alone. Asked: Who are you? Mr. Zhang replied: The student was originally an injustice in Caozhou. He lost his father at the age of three and moved to Luoyang with his mother for 30 years. Taizu asked again: If you call yourself a student, you have already made a name for yourself. , Are you a scholar or a juren? Zhang Qixian clasped his hands and said: "The student just passed the examination this month, and he is already a tribute student. Taizu looked at Zhang Qixian and said: "Gongsheng is the best in the state examination, and can be recommended by the state to be admitted to the Imperial College Reading can be regarded as a talent after the imperial court. Well, in this way, you must have read a lot of books, and you are quite a talented person. Zhang Qixian handed over his hands and said he didn't dare, so the Taizu asked Mr. Zhang what strategy he had for governing the country To present, Mr. Zhang gesticulated with hands and feet, and stated ten strategies for governing the country, all of which were related to the unification of the family and the country and the prosperity and strength of the army. Emperor Taizu couldn't stop nodding after hearing this, but thought that there were only four of these ten strategies The moment is very important, but Mr. Zhang insisted, saying that the ten major strategies he presented were all important. Taizu explained to him why the other six were not the top priority. Mr. Zhang did not show weakness and continued to talk about his views. No matter what Emperor Zu said, Mr. Zhang just didn't agree with it, so they started arguing."
