Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

On this day, Li Wei was correcting Shujia's writing posture, and Wen Sheng said to her: "The most important thing to write is to concentrate, not to look around. You must take every stroke and stroke seriously and do your best."

Under the guidance from behind the scenes, Shujia wrote a not-so-pretty "jiu" character.

Li Wei looked at the word that Shu Jia wrote and was still dissatisfied. She shook her head and said, "It still doesn't work. You can't be completely calm."

Shujia was inevitably frustrated. Li Wei was afraid that she would be too harsh. He touched Shujia's head and said, "Don't be discouraged. Come first. The first thing to do is not to be distracted. Write well and don't think about other things."

Li Wei asked Shujia to understand. She took a book from the shelf and looked at it. Only after two pages had been turned, Wei Tai reported under the window: "Thanks to the Queen Mother, Du Shoufu handed over the sign, saying that there is something to see."

"Du Shoufu?!" Those veterans in the cabinet wanted to see her. She didn't interfere with government affairs. These veterans could think that something must have caused the dispute between the two parties, so she was just a referee.

I've encountered this kind of situation before, and Li Wei was quite calm, so he said, "Arrange for a meeting right now."

Wei Tai got the Queen Mother's approval and went to make arrangements.

To see the foreign minister, Li Wei changed his clothes again.

The moon-white gauze was painted with silver thread and embroidered with large gardenias, which was simple and not shabby. Still simply rolled his head, wearing a plain white carved silver hairpin.

She went to the side hall to meet Du Yu. She went into a room inside, and Fangqin who was waiting next to her put down a black-painted bamboo curtain. Lan Hui in front of him grabbed a handful of spices and threw them into the brass duck-shaped incense burner.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. Li Xing is the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival. How should I prepare this Jilinli for her? Li Wei was thinking about it, and the servant on the corridor said: "Empress Mother, Master Du Shoufu is here to greet you."

Li Wei just made a gesture to the maid in front of him, and Lan Hui said loudly, "Master Xuandu will see it."

Not long after, Du Yu entered the hall. He saw the black futon outside the bamboo curtain, so he bowed his head and saluted: "Weichen, please, Queen Mother, Qianshui!"

Du Yu is forty-eight this year, and he has been a grandfather for a long time, and his eldest grandson is also a teenager. This age is not too old, his voice is loud and full of breath. The body should be healthy.

Li Wei winked at Lan Hui, and Lan Hui said loudly, "Give Master Du a seat."

Immediately, the little **** waiting outside brought up a chair, still placed it outside the curtain and invited Du Yu to sit. Du Yuxie Guofang told the audience.

"Master Du, I don't know what is going on?" The crisp female voice inside came out through the curtain.

Du Yu quickly said: "Weichen has a discount to present to the Queen Mother, please show me the Queen Mother." As Du Yu said, he got up and took a copy of the sleeve of his left hand.

Li Wei listened, and then said again: "I am a deep palace woman, young and unaware of things, and I don't know the severity. Lord Shoufu should go to discuss with the regent, how can I find me here?"

Du Yu said cautiously: "This fold is presented to the Queen Mother, please check it out."

Li Wei was slightly surprised: The few in the cabinet were all old foxes. She was nothing but an insignificant little girl in the eyes of these old foxes, and there must be some dispute over the little girl to ask her as a referee. It's better to play 50 big boards according to the previous number of routes.

Li Wei lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and Lan Hui said, "Come on."

A young **** took Du Yu's zhezi, entered the house, and handed it to Lan Hui, who then held it to Li Wei.

Li Wei opened a glance, and the words on it were shocking: The regent was lawless and abused his power, which caused a large number of household officials to resign and unable to operate normally. It was a great mistake by the regent. Please ask the queen dowager to face what the regent did. Constraint and apply.

How is this going? The cabinet wants to impeach Zhao Qian? Where did Zhao Qian provoke these old foxes?

Li Wei closed Zhezi and asked, "What has the Regent been up to lately?"

"Returning to the Queen Mother, the Regent was investigating the accounts of the Household Department recently. It's just that he is arbitrary and powerful. Several officials from Shangshu to Langzhong have resigned from the Ministry of Households. Where can anyone really do anything like this?"

What Zhao Qian said, what he can do can make people angry, he really has such an ability.

Li Wei said, and Du Yu went on to say: "Before the emperor died, he entrusted major affairs to the cabinet and the regent. Now the regent is doing this foolishly, afraid that something big will happen sooner or later. Now he has no choice but to ask the queen mother to restrain the regent’s behavior. . Otherwise, it’s not a blessing for the common people."

Are these old foxes in the cabinet worried that Zhao Qian will take over the cabinet after he takes over power? That's why the complaint came to her.

Li Wei held the Zhezi and asked slowly: "Dare to ask Master Du, I heard that the Ministry of Household has a big problem, and the treasury is running out of money. Is this true?"

Du Yu then said: "This is a problem left over from the previous dynasty."

"Oh, then it does happen. Then the regent should check the accounts."

"Queen dowager, you don't know anything. The regent is so arrogant, and he doesn't discuss with the cabinet, causing such a big incident, fearing that he will not be able to gather people's hearts, so I ask the queen dowager to observe.

Li Wei said: "The pitifulness of our orphans and widows will depend on Master Du and the Regent in the future. With you, I will feel more at ease, and the emperor will also have support."

"This is what should be done for the minister."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Well, Master Du, are you okay?" Then he brought tea.

Du Yu was afraid that this young woman would be ignorant, so he quickly said: "Queen dowager, you have high morals, please come forward to restrain one or two."

Li Wei said: "I'm still young and I don't know anything. Where can I afford these four words, Master Du, you are too high. As for the regent, I will warn him one or two."

Finally, with a certain letter, Du Yu was a little relieved, and then retired.

After Du Yu left, Li Wei was quite depressed, what is this called?

Lan Hui stayed in front of him and dared not speak at will.

Li Wei held the tea bowl, pondered for a while before turning his head to ask Lan Hui: "How do you think I should deal with this?"

When Lan Hui heard that, he curly curly said, "The servant is stupid." She doesn't have the right to speak as a maid on this matter.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of me. I know you are a very thoughtful person, so it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, and it doesn't matter if you say something wrong, I won't blame you."

Lan Hui said again: "The servants dare not."

"Hey, you girl..." Li Wei sighed, raised his eyes and looked out the window, and Fang said, "In that case, Xuan Regent."
