Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Zhao Qian sat in the sedan chair and heard the people next to him tell him, and he opened a curtain.

"The king of Shu is out of the palace?"

"Back to the emperor, my nephew went out to buy things for his mother and concubine."

Zhao Qian laughed along the way and asked, "What precious things should King Shu go out to buy in person?"

Zhao Fushou hurriedly took out a brocade from his arms, and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, it's just a medicine."

Zhao Qian asked that the hospital is still short of medicines and need to buy them outside? But he didn't embarrass the nephew too much, and asked: "Is the toffee's illness better?"

Zhao Fushou said: "When I return to the emperor's uncle, the mother and concubine's illness has been treated by Emperor Zeng, and she has improved a bit.

Zhao Qian nodded, he lowered the curtain, and Zhao Fushou was also relieved. The guards were busy greeting Zhao Qian, and Zhao Fushou also took advantage of the gap to enter the palace gate. He was startled in a cold sweat afterwards.

When Zhao Qian returned to the palace, it was getting dusk.

The long history of the mansion said back and forth: "The prince, the town government sent a greeting note. There are also a few baskets of fresh spring bamboo shoots and two cans of tea."

"What else?"

Chang Shi shook his head.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "I see, go down."

Chang Shi, before leaving the door, Zhao Qian stopped him again: "Send the spring bamboo shoots and tea to Chongqing Palace."

Chang Shi promised and left.

Zhao Qian saw the big red post on the book case, he didn't hesitate too much, opened it and read it: Please, Lord Shengan! There are only six short words. He closed the post again at a glance.

He was struggling with his busy government affairs. When the meal was about to be served, the first assistant Du Yu asked to see him.

During the day they were still furious because of political disagreements. What is he doing so late? Zhao Qian asked him to lead him to the study, where he changed his own clothes.

When Zhao Qian came to the study, Du Yu brought the tea bowl and was about to drink. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he stood up and bowed to greet him: "Please, Lord."

Zhao Qian also said very politely: "Old Du Ge, please sit down."

An hour ago, the two of them had their faces flushed, and seeing each other now that the gunpowder had cleared away, it was a harmonious scene.

Du Yu accompanied the smiling face and said, "Excuse me, Lord."

"It can't be said to be bothering you, how can the old man eat?"

When Du Yu saw that the regent wanted to reserve a meal, he also readily accepted. Zhao Qian sent someone a simple table of noodles.

The two discussed political affairs while eating.

Du Yu said: "When Enke is opened this year, a large number of talents will surely emerge. At that time, you will have to pick and choose. The emperor has grown up year after year, so he has an arm. Whether it is the old man, or Regardless of the regent, sooner or later, the burden on his shoulders will be handed over to the emperor."

Zhao Qian smiled and did not speak. He only knew that someone was going to kill the mother and son. He had to find the murderer as soon as possible. Let the mother and son live a stable life.

Du Yu went on to talk about Enke. He wanted to talk to Zhao Qian about the chief examiner. In the daytime, the two of them were chosen people to make trouble. Both of them have people in the same category, and they have their own opinions. .

Later, Zhao Qian made a concession and said: "After you have done it, Mr. Du, this matter will never be over if we continue to fight. Why don't we all take a step back and choose another person."

Du Yu heard that Xindao is also a way, and asked hurriedly: "I wonder who the prince recommends?"

"How did Li Shi from the Imperial Academy say?"

"The prince is talking about the queen mother's father?"

"Yes, he is a righteous person. Besides, this imperial examination was originally led by the Hanlin Academy. Let Shi Li speak out and preside over it. It's not bad to think about it."

Du Yu did not speak for a long time after hearing this. Zhao Qian saw that he did not speak, so he said: "Since Du Ge has no objection, then let's settle it down."

Each stepped back, and the selected person was within the acceptance range, and Du Yu agreed.

The matter was resolved smoothly. Du Yu and Zhao Qian talked about the impeachment of Li Shizhezi. Du Yu said, "You put away the paper that impeached the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, right?"

"No, what to do with it."

"Governor Li is the queen dowager's elder brother, and this impeacher is also desperate. But the old man seems to see how the prince intends to approve this matter."

Zhao Qian said simply and neatly: "Check it out and do whatever it takes."

Du Yu seemed a little surprised, smiled, after eating, and after discussing a few things about Hegong with Zhao Qian, he left. The whole night was calm and there was no dispute.

Zhao Qian went to take a shower, but he was still not sleepy. He stood under the corridor and looked up at the night sky. There were stars twinkling in the dark night, and the stars of Altair and Vega were twinkling in the Milky Way.

At this time, he would think about what Li Wei was doing and whether he was looking up at the stars like him. Obviously the distance between the two is so close, but nothing can be said or done.

When Zhao Qian was feeling, Laixi came in.

"Lord."

Zhao Qian nodded. This is his confidant eunuch. After returning this time, he sent something to Laixi.

"Master, there is news from the Superintendent of Crane Control, about the King of Shu."

Zhao Qian was not surprised. The Crane Control Supervisor is now under his control, and now the Crane Supervisor is in charge of him to help stare at these vassals, just to see if he can find some clues.

Zhao Qian went to the study, and only then did Laixi report.

"The prince, according to the news from He Jian, it is said that the king of Shu went to Wenfu today and stayed for nearly an hour before he came out."

"One hour?" King Shu sneaked out of the palace just to buy medicine for Princess Qi. Zhao Qian didn't believe it. He could have predicted that King Shu went down to see the Wen family privately, but he didn't expect it would be so long. . He also knew that Fu Shou and Wen Ke had some contacts before.

But Fushou came to Wen Ke just to remember the past? Would you go see you secretly with excuses?

Zhao Qian thought for a while, and said to Laixi, "Send someone from the Wen family to stare a little."

"Yes."

Once, he hadn't discovered which arrows were aimed at Li Wei's mother and son, but this time he wanted to prove his innocence and protect their safety.

The Wen family is also a line in these complicated relationships. He had told Li Wei to beware of Princess Qi before, but he didn't know if she listened. It was indeed not a wise choice to leave King Shu in the capital.

Now he is guarding against him very well, and he has to go through procedures to see her.

"What kind of **** program!" Zhao Qian patted the table with anger. While calm, he planned to write a letter to Li Wei to talk about the situation. If you can't see her, it shouldn't matter too much to send her a letter or something.

Zhao Qian thought about it for a while, then he mentioned the strangeness of King Shu, and mentioned Taifei Qi's illness, and made it clear. Finally, he talked to Li Wei about letting his father be the chief examiner. After he finished writing, he finished the envelope with fire paint, and had to find a reliable person to pass it in.
