Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"The emperor said that he felt that a single virtuous character was not enough to represent your father's virtue, because your father was not only polite, wise, sincere and filial, but also benevolent, righteous, loyal and brave. Only this character can express your father's virtuous ability. Then he said: Your Majesty's words are very true. Your lord, this is the Eight Sages. When the Emperor agreed with him, he said, "Well, the Eight Sages, the Eight Sages, is it not that one person is the No. 1 of the Eight Kings, perhaps the No. [-] in ancient and modern times?"

"One person is the Jue of the Eight Kings, the father is really powerful!"

"That's right, so the emperor named your father the Eight Worthy Kings, and one person can enjoy the salary of the Eight Kings."

"Ma'am," De Fang said, "it's not easy to get the salary of the imperial court, the salary of the eight kings, I really need one person to support eight people."

"The prince is stronger than eight people." Concubine Di smiled and said, "Isn't it, Ling'er."

"Yes! Father is more powerful than eight people!"

"Yes, if the father is not powerful, how can he scare the treacherous officials in the court? The father will scare them to death! Hehehe" Defang put down the pen, took the towel and wiped his hands, "The drawing is finished!"

Concubine Di got up and looked at the painting, "Well, the mountain trees in the early autumn in the painting of gold powder and musk ink is really just right, such a beautiful scene, it seems that it really needs to be placed in the dormitory."

"Father" Wei Ling said, "I also want one for the children's bedroom."

"Okay, when my father returns home, I will choose one and hang it in my little princess's room, hehehe"

"Father, can you also give it to Sister Junzhu, Sister Rulu and Sister Rufei?"

"Of course you can. Except for the ones in the Queen's bedroom, you can choose the others, and you can send any one you want." Defang touched Weiling's head, "Whatever the little princess wants and wants to give, the father and king will agree."

"Father" Wei Ling asked, "Why is the baby a princess, and sisters Junzhu, Rulu and Rufei are princesses?"

Defang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Concubine Di, Concubine Di said, "Ling'er, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Every time the baby sends something to the sisters, they have to say: Thank you princess, father and mother, they are sisters, why is the baby a princess, and they haven't been named princesses?"

"Ling'er, the emperor's daughter is the princess, and the prince's daughter is the princess. You were the princess when you were born, and you were called the princess of Xingming. Less than a year later, you were named the princess of Chengqing."

"When the child was born, he was the princess, so how did he become a princess?"

"Because of your father..." Concubine Di looked at Defang, and Defang frowned slightly. The two couldn't help but think that 13 years ago because of the case of Cao Bin being framed, Defang was imprisoned in the sky prison, which almost caused great changes. Later, when the truth came to light, Emperor Taizong appointed Princess Weiling Baole as "compensation" to Defang. Concubine Di paused and continued, "Because your father has made great contributions to eradicating treacherous and evil officials for the court, your majesty." Longyan Dayue, I will make you Princess Baole, give your mother a house in Beijing, and let your father go to the treasure room to pick and bring back items at will. The colorful cloud jade on your neck was chosen by your father himself , put it on for you with my own hands."

Weiling took out the jade around her neck and said, "Father, my child was too young to speak at that time. Now I want to thank my father. Although it is 13 years late, my child will always wear this jade and be filial to my father." .”

"It's not too late, it's not too late at all." Defang hugged Weiling, "My good boy, everything my father does for you is worth it."

"Father King" Weiling also hugged Defang, and Defang looked at Concubine Di moving her lips and said silently: Thank you, madam.
