Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei was sitting on the throne with a calm complexion, calmly and calmly said to the ministers below: "Today we are summoning the ministers to discuss some important matters. I am young and don't know how things are going, if there is something wrong with words. , There are still immature places to ask all the officials for guidance."

As soon as Li Wei arrived, he lowered his posture, making it clear that he was discussing with the ministers.

The head of Du Yu said: "You are too polite, Queen Mother, if you have anything to order."

Fu Guang, who was sitting quietly by the side, was wearing a stone green robe embroidered with a dragon, his back was straight, and his face was Zhuang Su. Regardless of his young age, he gradually developed an aura that could not be violated. In Li Wei's eyes, Fu Guang became more and more like an emperor.

Li Wei glanced at the little emperor beside him calmly. Fu Guang had just turned seven, but he was a child, but he was the most special child, destined to be sensible earlier than all the children in the world.

Li Wei glanced around at the ministers in the room and said again: "The emperor left early, leaving us orphans and widows behind is really pitiful. Fortunately, a few old ministers and regents helped and continued to guard the ancestors. Jiangshan, or who do we want our mother and child to rely on."

Then Liao Qi said, "Queen dowager, you are serious, and the ministers are also obliged to follow the emperor's will and are ordered to assist the government."

Li Wei said again: "You have worked hard anyway. Our Daqi has a history of 120 years since its establishment, from the initial turbulence to the prosperous age of Qianyong in the next 50 years. These are all. It is the ancestral industry that our ancestors have accumulated a little bit. At the beginning of Xikang, our Daqi was also a prosperous and prosperous era, the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity, and the politically clear era, but after Xikang ten years, the national strength gradually weakened. Five years later, wars and famines dragged down Daqi. The first emperor is gone, and our emperor has taken over a country where the treasury is empty and the people are poor. Where is Daqi’s future? On the shoulders of our emperor, in the next generation, On the shoulders of the next generation." According to what Li Wei knows from the historical materials that he read in the library, Daqi Guozuo is only 207 years old. In the following thirty years, the warlords had separatist regimes and scattered power. Strictly speaking, it was no longer a unified dynasty.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Li Wei continued: "Now that we are standing in this position, it is the link between the previous and the next. The princes are all older than me, and most of them are grandfathers. They are just gifts from the emperor. Let me sit in this position and let you salute me. As a younger generation, I really can’t bear it, I am afraid of losing blessings. But as the queen mother of this dynasty, I still want to do something that belongs to the queen mother, for this dynasty, for The people do something to be worthy of the entrustment of the Emperor Xian..."

The matter of the Queen Mother’s involvement in politics was already known to everyone in Du Yu and others, and there was no need to cover it up.

Na Du Yu hesitated and finally stood up, bent slightly, and respectfully said: "The Queen Mother, the emperor's will has made it very clear that the cabinet and the regent will be in charge of the government until the emperor is in charge. It is about worrying about the country and the people. Regarding our men, you are the queen mother, but I am afraid it is not suitable..."

Finally everyone put the contradiction on the table.

Lu Caiping was working as a clerk to record. After hearing the minister's words, she felt a little annoyed, but there was no place where she was talking in front of the Queen Mother and the emperor. He just raised his head and looked at the old man who was talking, if he didn't care. The face of the queen mother, she really wanted to be shocked at this moment.

"How is it inappropriate for the mother to serve the country and the people?! The mother took the initiative to reduce expenses, and the money saved by Jianhui Medical Department, so that the people can have a place to see a doctor, can't they embarrass men with such a mind? Where is it inappropriate?!"

Li Wei was preparing a bunch of words to talk to these old stubborn people, but he never expected Fu Guang to open his mouth to help her. Li Wei was shocked to say such a remark from a seven-year-old child. She gave Fu Guang a surprised look.

The emperor spoke, and Du Yu and others did not dare to quarrel with the emperor directly. Naturally, they thought that the queen mother taught Fu Guang such words.

However, Du Yu was the first to make his own reflection, but when he saw him getting up, he took the initiative to retreat after a few salutes from the queen dowager and the emperor. .

In a moment, only their lonely mother and son and Lu Caiping with an angry expression were left in the South Study.

Li Wei prepared a few words, and was also ready to discuss matters with the ministers, but without saying a word, these ministers protested.

She wanted to save this dynasty, and she had many ideas, but because she was a woman, she couldn't do anything.

Li Wei looked at the two rows of empty chairs below, and suddenly smiled: "I am too impatient. I want to do it immediately if I have something in my mind, but I didn't consider whether others would accept it."

Fu Guang gently tugged Li Wei's sleeve. Li Wei tilted her head and glanced at Fu Guang. She was worried that this little guy felt uncomfortable, and smiled and patted his shoulder gently, and said: "Emperor, I'm fine."

"Mother, don't be sad. I will definitely find a way to let those old guys listen to you."

"Although you are the emperor, the real power is in the hands of those people. Although they respect you on the surface, it is difficult to listen to you a little baby. The emperor is all right." Li Wei comforted Fu Guang again.

"I will definitely have a way." Fu Guang knew that the old guys in the cabinet were unreliable, and he still had the uncle who had always been harsh on him.

The emperor seemed to respect the appearance of the mother and queen, perhaps the emperor could help with this.

Li Wei returned to the Chongqing Palace a little angrily, not interested in anything. Lu Caiping served in front of her, and she persuaded, "Queen dowager, calm down your anger. Those old officials are hateful, all of them don't change their lives."

"I'm tired and want to rest, so go and rest."

She just started to block all ideals. A woman is her original sin.

Li Wei never wanted to be a queen dowager in the Taiping era, and just enjoy it every day. But now facing such a situation, she can't enjoy herself, and what she doesn't want to hand over to Fu Guang is just an empty shell.

Later, Zhao Qian came to encourage her again and encouraged her to do something with what she had learned. The first thing Li Wei thought of was intensive medical treatment. This was only the first step. Before taking the second step, all those ideas were stifled.

The day after Li Wei convened cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, dozens of ministers jointly signed a letter asking the Queen Mother to deal with Lu Caiping. The ministers always thought that it was Lu Caiping who instigated the queen dowager, wanted to make trouble, and lost her mind.

Li Wei felt so angry that his head hurt when he saw the letters.

Fortunately, Caizhi is still here and can provide Li Wei with quick treatment.

Caizhi finally comforted the queen mother and lay down, and met her sister when she came out.
