Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

After a few rains in late spring, the sky became more and more blue and the sun gradually became blazing.

After a few rains, the water level in Taiye Lake has also risen a lot, and the water quality has also become clearer.

On a sunny afternoon, Li Wei made an appointment with Du Fei Dun on the boating pond. Sparkling, the lake gleamed. Toffee Dun and Li Wei said: "The lake tour will be a different kind of scenery in a few months."

At this time, the small lotus showed its sharp horns, and only a few young leaves of aquatic plants such as pineapple, water chestnut, and lythrum spit out. To wait until July, a few acres of lotus flowers will bloom for the second time, and the faint lotus fragrance will be the best scenery of the year in Taiyechi.

When the boat reached the shore, the two of them stepped on the stone steps and crossed the Liuyin Road, but saw that the peonies had passed their flowering period.

Du Taifei said with regret: "I have no time to appreciate the peony this year."

Li smiled and said, "It's nothing to be a pity when the flowers bloom in the coming year."

The two visited Xiafei Pavilion, Liuwu, and Ouhua Pavilion, and finally boarded the Huaming Building, the tallest building in the forbidden city, to overlook.

The Hanyuan Hall, Xianju Hall, Linde Hall, North Street, and the palace complex where concubines live are all in front of you.

She can't get out of the palace gate, and can only wander in the palace. Fortunately, the palace is more than ten times larger than Shangshufu.

After a long tour, the legs were a little tired, and the last two of them took the car and returned.

The weather was already a bit hot. After getting off the car, Li Wei couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with the silk paw. She saw the close **** next to Zhao Qian and secretly said that he was coming again.

Li Wei walked in briskly.

After sitting in the side hall of Chongqing Palace, Zhao Qian had already drunk three cups of tea, and finally heard that someone outside reported that the queen mother had returned. He just got up and walked out, Li Wei walked towards him with the glow of light all over his body. Half of her face looked red under the care of Caixia, like an apple.

Zhao Qian stepped forward to salute her, and Li Wei stood up and asked: "Did the regent come to discuss something?"

"Yes, please enter the Queen Mother, and the Weichen will report it slowly."

"The prince, please wait a while, I'll come when I go." Li Wei returned to the sleeping hall. I felt uncomfortable with sweat on my back, so I ordered him to change into a set of dry clothes.

Lan Hui took a white double skirt for her to wear with Li Wei. The skirt of this skirt was embroidered with dense persimmon stalks with grass green silk threads, and the skirt was the same grass green. Although the skirt Without any ornamentation, but elegant and refreshing, very suitable.

Li Wei didn't pay much attention to what to wear. After tying her skirt, she took a tapestry fan and went to the side hall over there.

Li Wei appeared in front of Zhao Qian's eyes but with a very elegant appearance. Zhao Qian took a look at her. She had white skin and was very decent in such grass green. In his memory, it seemed that she liked wearing green clothes.

Li Wei said to Zhao Qian: "Lord, please sit down." She walked to the east side of a lacquer chair and sat down on her own. Zhao Qian saw Li Wei sitting down and sat down opposite her.

The servant and Li Wei served tea, and Li Wei ordered the tea bowl in front of Zhao Qian to be filled with water.

After the tea was served, the servants all stood outside the door, the doors and windows were wide open, and anything that was not too small in the room could be heard outside.

"What is the so-called prince coming this time?"

Zhao Qian said: "The people sent out have already arrived in Hangzhou, I'm afraid they will return to Beijing soon."

"Oh, it's very fast. Big brother, he doesn't know what to do..." This eldest brother is the eldest son of the long house, and Li Wei has never spoken to the eldest brother when he grows up. What came to her mind was the appearance of another brother.

"Queen mother, you have to be prepared in advance."

"Prepare? I have already prepared. If he really doesn't know what is good or bad, I will take "Great Qi Law" to deal with him." The legal system cannot be neglected. Li Wei just wants to be fair and just as much as possible, and there are laws. according to.

"Queen dowager, can you really take your heart down and hand it over to Dali Temple so that the Dali Temple can do this?"

"Otherwise, what else? Just because he is my eldest brother, I can protect him if he makes a mistake. Isn't this fostering unhealthy trends?"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly: "I don't know how upright you are."

Li Wei said in his heart when I succumbed to the law. Although the eldest brother is her elder brother, he is also a subject of Daqi. If the subjects violate the law, they should be treated equally and do anything special. The eldest brother has been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years, so he should know what can be touched and what can't be touched. She also has a bottom line, and she is ruthless when she touches the bottom line.

"The prince thinks that the world should be ruled by law? Or rule by man?"

Zhao Qian was stunned. He did not expect Li Wei to throw such a problem to him. After thinking for a while, he said: "Weichen thinks it is best to combine the rule of law and the rule of man. After all, the law is written in cold words there. On the basis of the rule of law, the two can be integrated and combined with each other to be better."

Li smiled, and then said: "How difficult it is to do this. The rule of law is too cold, and the rule of man is inevitably biased."

Not long ago, the two people met to talk about new dramas, what kind of shows, or to meet Li Wei’s parents and win the consent of Li Wei’s parents. What they imagined was their future; now they are sitting together. What we are talking about together is the governance of this dynasty and the future of the Zhao family.

Their discussions are often very sensible and do not mix with their respective emotions, and the affection they once had has been quietly erased in their hearts. Li Wei became the empress dowager who had no desires.

After talking about Li Shi, Zhao Qian went on to say: "These heavenly ministers are investigating the accounts of the Ministry of Households and found that since Xikang fifteen years, the holes have become bigger and bigger. It is no wonder that many taxes that should be collected cannot be levied. Existence, if you don’t make up your mind to rectify, the country will only get poorer and the people’s life will become more and more difficult."

Li Wei calmly said: "I don't know anything about the political affairs. The regent should discuss with the cabinet."

Although they all lived in that era for a period of time, Zhao Qian felt that Li Wei was very different from him. After all, Li Wei had more than ten years of education in that era, and his knowledge was much more comprehensive than that of him. He has a long-term view, so he thought about telling Li Wei about these affairs in the court, hoping that she could help make suggestions.

However, Li Wei looked like it had nothing to do with him at the moment, and he still somewhat hurt his heart.

"Queen dowager, you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Haven't you thought about changing this era?"

Li Weiwei was startled, she looked up at Zhao Qian, and said in doubt: "The regent and the cabinet are responsible for the affairs of the court. I am a deep palace woman who has the right to put her beak." Li Wei did not want to be the governing queen mother.
