Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

With Li Wei's efforts, Shujia's fever gradually subsided, but the cough has never been better. Coughing day and night also made Li Wei unable to sleep well for many days.

Since the two fell out that day, Zhao Qian and Li Wei have never seen each other again.

It was the twelfth lunar month in an instant, and the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month was Li Wei's birthday. Zhao Qian didn't want to pretend that he didn't know, so he ordered the palace manager to prepare a gift list and buy a gift. It's just a matter of sending someone in at the time, and he doesn't even need to show up in person.

There are many things in the year, and the mess at the Ministry of Households has been cleaned up after months of unremitting efforts. How to reform and let the treasury gradually become full is the biggest problem before us.

Zhao Qian and several ministers in the cabinet discussed this issue for several days, but finally no results. On the morning of this day, Zhao Qian, in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the emperor, formally raised the matter of Xiliang.

"In the early years, the people of Xiliang were barbaric. They captured the land of my Daqi and killed my people. They were enemies that should not be underestimated. Out of regaining lost ground and pacifying the frontiers, it was the right way to use troops in Xiliang. Efforts finally drove the Xiliang people away. Later, Xiliang became a piece of fat, and Daqi wanted to swallow this piece of fat into his belly. How could I think of these barbaric Xiliang people, stubborn Xiliang people? But in the end it turned into a hard rock, not only couldn’t swallow it, but also hurt my teeth. Not to mention, how much money the court would pay to raise the group of soldiers every year. As far as I know, the frontiers of these years There are countless corruptions and corruptions in the army. These people are slowly eroding our dynasty like moths. The time has come for this country to change." Zhao Qian said powerfully and extremely strongly. The majesty.

When the courtiers heard what Zhao Qian said, they were finally about to attack the army, but the generals were all powerful and powerful and even became a local hegemon. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the court cannot control it.

After Zhao Qian said those words, he asked: "What do you think?"

"The regent, what you said is correct, but now these generals have suffered a lot for the court, and the **** battle is the root of this dynasty. Without their words, who will protect our safety." The one who said this was the Minister of War You.

"What the people want now is stability and need to develop production. Those large tracts of desolate land have long been barren because there are few people to cultivate. The people have no food and are displaced. Strong laborers are on the front line, who will guard their small homes. This kind of development is deformed. When Daqi also recuperates, in short, he can no longer fight." Zhao Qian's attitude is obvious.

Zhao Qian formally proposed to withdraw troops and reduce military expenditures. With this move, the people of the court were divided into two factions. The civilian officials mostly agreed, but the military officers strongly opposed it. It is still related to their own personal interests.

A court battle is inevitable.

When the two factions were incomprehensible, the emperor above said: "Enough, no one is allowed to argue!"

Everyone heard this immature childish voice and gradually subsided.

"The emperor, this is the foundation of the country." It was the first-class General Weilie who came in, and then entered the rank of the earl.

Fu Guang didn't bother with this veteran. He said with a straight face: "The emperor is for the country and the people. I think he is right, you all have to listen to him. Don't care about this."

Those military officers didn't put the little emperor in their eyes, and naturally used his words as farts.

The dynasty disappeared noisily, Zhao Qian headed to Wenyuan Pavilion, where he usually worked, not far away, and was overtaken by the veterans behind.

"Lord, please stay, please take back your intention. This is the rule left by the ancestors. It is the family law of the ancestors. It can be easily immobile. If you want to act recklessly, you will have trouble with your ancestors."

"The king didn't say that we would withdraw all of them, nor that all the troops should be abolished. You said only to streamline and reduce expenditures. What are your dissatisfactions? You spend so much every year, so you have a bunch of moths? Whatever you say , This time I have decided."

Seeing that the regent had made up his mind, these veterans had no choice but to find the queen mother again and ask her to come out to mediate.

Li Wei already knew something about the North Korean meeting through others, and she also had her own ideas, but this time she must be on Zhao Qian's side.

When the military officers asked for an audience, Li Wei didn't give them a chance.

"The queen mother said that she is a woman who can't manage the affairs of the previous dynasty, please go back."

"If the regent is arbitrary and arbitrary, only the queen mother is the master."

Wei Tai conveyed these words to Li Wei. In order to stop those people's thoughts, Li Wei said to Wei Tai: "You tell them that I am on the side of the regent on this matter."

With this sentence, the military officers dispelled the idea of ​​going to meet the queen mother. Had to find another way.

The incomprehension of the courtiers was also expected by Zhao Qian, but he had already made this decision and there would never be a turning back. There is no money in the court, and the people live in hardship. In short, these moths cannot be allowed to rot the dynasty.

The request of the military attaches to meet the queen mother also reached Zhao Qian's ears. When he heard that Li Wei avoided seeing him and stood on his side, he was a little secretly pleased. At least at this point, they are connected.

After finishing the day's affairs, it was time to make changes when he returned to the palace.

Snow fell in the sky again, and the temperature dropped sharply.

After a busy day, Zhao Qian didn't feel sleepy. He warmed his wine and planned to drink a few glasses before going to bed to warm himself up.

He drank alone under the light and drank three or four cups in a row. The more he drank, the more lonely he felt. The shadow of that woman appeared all over his head. He has paid so much for her, he has loved so sincerely, hasn't he never touched her. Was there nothing in her heart in the end?

There was sweetness and warmth between them, and she also showed him the most beautiful smile. Are they all deceptive?

Zhao Qian was unwilling, and Li Wei's words did hurt her and his heart. So these days he always avoids going to Chongqing Palace.

Baofu came in, Zhao Qian saw the white snow on his hair and asked, "Is it snowing?"

"It's been a while."

When Zhao Qian heard that, he walked out of the door and went under the eaves.

It really snowed again, no wonder it was so cold. His heart was desolate, and his thoughts were so full for a moment that he was not sleepy at all.

At this moment, there were waves of whimpering flutes coming from nowhere.

After listening carefully, I realized that I was playing "Acacia Ci".

"Looking for long-term love, long-term memory, short-term love, infinite."
