Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

"No, she is so young, she was also a weak woman who was spoiled in her boudoir before, and she didn't understand any political affairs or general affairs. If she really followed the example of Mrs. Xiao later in politics, this would be a mess." The oldest Dong Hanlin.

Everyone's eyes turned to Du Yu, Du Yu vomited lightly: "Jiji Sichen, disturb Gangchang."

With Du Shoufu's words, everyone seemed to have taken a pill of reassurance. Du Shoufu's meaning was obvious, he did not allow women to mess with the government.

Here several cabinet ministers were talking, but Zhao Qian suddenly appeared.

The ministers were all startled, and then saluted Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian glanced at everyone and said: "I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you in the South Study Room, but why?"

Du Yu said: "Tell the prince, it is not convenient to elaborate here. Please also ask the prince to follow us back to the court room and slowly talk to the prince.

"Then what are you arguing about just now? Seeing all of you blushing, full of righteous indignation, and impassioned, what are you going to do?"

Liao Qi said in a low voice: "The ministers are worried that the queen mother will listen to politics and disturb the court."

Zhao Qian was taken aback. He inspected everyone again. Li Wei only made a slight move, which made these old stubborn people criticize. If he had to make a big move, didn't he have to lift Li Wei off the throne of the queen mother?

"You can talk nonsense, Lord Liao, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhao Qian let out a low cry, and Liao Qi trembled, busy making a payment.

Du Yu pulled Zhao Qian's arm and said, "Master, this matter has to be explained in detail, please follow the veteran."

Zhao Qian originally found a reason to visit Li Wei, but now he is dragged away by Du Yu.

When he returned to the court room, Du Yu took Zhao Qian to a room alone, and the two sat down and talked slowly.

"Does the prince know what happened to the Queen Mother calling the ministers in the past?"

"I don't know. What will the Queen Mother give?"

"The Queen Mother's purpose is very simple. Let us voluntarily cut salaries by half and use the saved salaries to develop the Medical Department."

After Zhao Qian heard this, Li Wei was finally willing to contribute. He nodded and said, "This idea is very good. Didn't your ministers agree?"

Du Yu said: "What the Queen Mother ordered, wherever there is a reason for not agreeing, the ministers are also living with their salary, which is suddenly halved, I am afraid it will not be explained to the family."

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Who in your family still suffers from poverty? They are all with a big business and numerous shops. This salary is only a fraction of a fraction for you."

These words blocked Du Yu and couldn’t speak. Zhao Qian said: “It’s hard for the Queen Mother to have such a mind. This is a great thing for the country and the people, and it should be built well. But now the treasury is empty and can’t come up with more money. ."

Du Yu said, "This is true. The prince has been checking the accounts of the household department recently. What are your plans?"

"I plan to go and inspect it myself, and be sympathetic to the sentiments of the people. I will set off for a trip to Shandong the next day."

"The prince has worked hard."

"It's not all hard work for the court. I don't dare to relax with the responsibility on my shoulders."

The two discussed the taxation again until someone came to invite Zhao Qian. Zhao Qianfang went out. When he just crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Does Shoufu Master think that the Queen Mother's political affairs are disrupting Chaogang?"

Du Yu said: "The first emperor entrusted the cabinet with the general affairs and administration, and let the prince regent. There is no place for the queen mother to speak. Besides, the queen mother is young, she knows about government affairs, this is not a child's house wine."

Du Yu spoke righteously, but Zhao Qian laughed after hearing this: "Children play house wine? Shoufu Master thinks that these suggestions made by the queen mother are only house wine? She dedicated her honor to relief. Is the common people also a house wine? After all, you just look down on her as a woman, because she is a woman, so nothing is right."

Du Yuwan didn't expect that the regent would say such a thing, he said with awe-inspiring expression: "The prince, the veteran has never thought of being disrespectful to the queen mother."

Zhao Qian just smiled faintly, and then left with a stride.

Du Yu stood here, and Xindao, the regent, became more and more incomprehensible. Didn’t you hear that this prince was frail and sickly and indecisive? Now it seems that he is also an arbitrary character. With the queen mother inside and the regent outside, life in the cabinet will only get harder.

Li Wei ventilated with the cabinet, and then invited the envoys, judges, and colleagues of the Tai Hospital to discuss the matter together. When she said that she wanted to build up the medical department and train well-trained doctors extensively, the eyes of several imperial doctors were bright, and the doctors finally waited for their spring.

Li Wei said again: "I know that many of you doctors with advanced medical skills have their own secret recipes. Except for apprentices, they will not pass the secret recipes to others, but treating diseases is not cooking, not doing other things. People can contribute one or two prescriptions to benefit the whole country in the future, which is also your merit.

Li Weidao: "How to run a doctor training school, how to inspect existing doctors, these things fall on you."

These words made several imperial doctors not so interested. It is a good thing to be able to attach importance to doctors, but they are originally treating diseases, so they are not so willing to do other things.

Li Wei also said: "Emissary Fang, give you three days to write me a detailed plan. How to do this well, you must have a feasible plan."

"Planning?!" This term was a bit strange, and Fang Yuan was confused.

Li Wei quickly explained: "It's just a proposal on how to implement these things. Do you understand?"

"Big... Approximately clear."

"Then I don't need to say any more, go back to your posts and do things."

After seeing two groups of people one after another, Li Wei was also a little tired. The tea in the tea bowl had been drunk, and when Lan Hui asked to refill it, Li Wei refused: "Forget it, I have already drunk a lot of water."

She bypassed the screen and planned to go for a walk.

There is a tall ginkgo tree planted in the yard. This season is full of green leaves. The sun pours down from the cracks and casts a mottled shadow on the ground. There is the chirping of birds in the distance. In the sunshine, the golden glazed tiles are a bit dazzling. Li Wei rubbed his eyes.

Lan Hui accompanied Li Wei and said, "Queen Mother, you really did a great deed for the people."

Li Wei said: "Is this a good thing?"

"For the country and the people, no matter how you don't count, you should be called a heroine."

These four words made Li Wei smile heartily.
