Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 387: Agreed

Views:

Zhao Qian left Chongqing Palace and went to the court room.

Several ministers in the cabinet were discussing the matter of Enke this year. Liao Qi saw Zhao Qian and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is quite busy, and I will not see you in a blink of an eye."

Zhao Qian said to several people: "Li Yi will not be the examiner this year, so let's appoint someone else."

When it came to changing the candidate, Du Yu was a little confused and said, "Didn't it be decided before? Why did the prince suddenly change it?"

Zhao Qian said: "There are many people below to impeach Li Shi, but we should avoid it if we can at the cusp of the storm. To prevent the people below from gossiping."

Du Yuxin said that the regent had changed his attention so quickly. Then he had found someone to discuss countermeasures just now. He should have gone to see the Queen Mother

What should a woman do to ask about these things in the previous dynasty? Daqi does not want a queen mother who is in charge. This is inconsistent with the ancestral system.

While Du Yu was thinking about it, Zhao Qian suddenly asked him: "Does Du Shoufu have any suggestions?"

"Xiaguan..."

After the court meeting, it was already mid-afternoon.

When it was time to go to the Yamen, Zhao Qian got on the carriage. He was supposed to go home, but he felt that he had to talk to the Li family about this matter so that the Li family could be prepared. So he asked the coachman to go in the direction of Shangshu Mansion. At this time, Li Yi was still in Hanlin, and Li Shao received him.

Zhao Qian said he wanted to see Li Yi, so Li Shao had no choice but to send someone to invite him.

"Since Liu Lang left, the prince rarely comes to the house. Relatives should also move around so as not to become alienated." Li Shaopian said with a smile.

Zhao Qian replied: "I've been really busy with official duties recently. Please forgive me if I can't get away."

Li Shao laughed.

Li Shi is Li Shao's eldest son, and there are certain things he should say in front of his father. So Zhao Qian told Li Shao about the court officials' impeachment of Li Shi. Unexpectedly, Li Shao was furious: "Who is slandering our family? Slandering Dalang's reputation and not taking the Queen Mother seriously."

Seeing Li Shao like this, Zhao Qian regretted telling these things.

"Sir, please forgive Xiao Wang for the inconvenience of disclosing it."

"Your Majesty, we, Li and Zhao, are a family. Now I am still the emperor's maternal grandfather. Since we are a family, what can't be said? It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, who is trying to harm us?"

"Sir, calm down. This matter needs to be considered slowly and long-term. After all, the impact is not good. The little emperor has just come to power and the situation is not stable. He cannot be taken advantage of, so he must calm down."

After Zhao Zhuan's consolation, the anger in Li Shao's heart subsided a little, and he calmed down completely: "You were a little out of control when you heard about Da Lang, please forgive me."

"Whether the impeachment matter is true or not needs to be verified slowly. If the Governor is framed, Xiao Wang will definitely get justice, so please rest assured, sir."

Zhao Qian's words left Li Shao speechless.

Another half-quarter of an hour later, Li Yi came back. After greeting each other, Zhao Qian went to Li Yi's study to talk.

Li Yi personally served tea to Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian stood up to take it. He then explained the purpose of his visit today: "Master Li, I have discussed it with the Queen Mother. Your Excellency, you are old and afraid of being mentally weak, so the position of examiner should be changed." When others come, you can also take the opportunity to rest, so that you won’t be tired.”

Although Li Yi was confused, he also expected it: "I seem to have heard that someone is impeaching the governor. It is not appropriate for me to be in the limelight at this time. I will listen to the arrangements of the prince and the queen mother."

It was quite easy to communicate with Li Shi, so Zhao Qian felt relieved. He was just trying his best to protect the Li family and prevent Li Wei from being sad. I just hope that the Li family can get through this crisis safely.

Zhao Qian didn't stay at Li's house for long before leaving. After Zhao Qian left, Li Yi kept himself locked in the study, waiting for the maid in Fu's room to invite him over for dinner.

During the meal, Mrs. Fu was in high spirits, chatting with Li Yi about trivial matters at home, and then said: "Miss Fourteen-Four is coming back with my uncle. You should come back early that day."

Li Yi was a little absent-minded. When the meal was finished, he stood up and told Mrs. Fu: "I will sleep in the study tonight, so I won't come to disturb you. You can go to bed early."

Mrs. Fu didn't say much, and her thoughts rested in Aunt Zhou's room again.

However, Li Yi went to the long house. The brothers exchanged views on the current situation.

"It seems that the prince is still taking good care of our family and is willing to inform us of these situations in advance. Now our family is at a critical time, and the queen mother's care is not enough. I have resigned, but you are still in office, so it is even more important. Be careful. Our family's status should be watched by tens of thousands of eyes. "Li Shao said a lot of high-sounding words.

Li Yi listened carefully and waited until his brother finished speaking before he slowly said: "Brother, I also want to become an official."

"What did you say?" Li Shao took a sip of tea and before he could swallow it, after hearing his brother's words, he spit out a sip of tea.

"I have decided to take advantage of the opportunity to become an official, and not to cause trouble to the Queen Mother and the Prince. The situation is already unstable, and we, as the father-in-law's family, have to be even more careful."

"I wonder if you are too timid. For this matter right now, the prince and the queen mother are helping us with ideas and blocking us. What are you still afraid of?"

"Brother, I'm not afraid, but it's a good thing to get out of some things as soon as possible. Both Dalang and Liulang are in office, so a big tree attracts the wind. Brother, you don't need to persuade me. I will pass the paper up tomorrow to relieve the burden on my shoulders."

However, Li Shao still felt that his younger brother's decision was a little impulsive, and he also felt that his younger brother was really timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

The next day, Li Yi told Mrs. Fu about his decision. Mrs. Fu was surprised and asked quickly: "Did the prince say anything when he came home yesterday?"

"Don't ask any more questions."

"But you said before that you would assist the emperor properly. Your wish is to become the emperor's master?"

Li Yi smiled lightly, ideal and reality are actually two different things.

There was not much resistance to Li Yizhi's move to become an official, and Li Wei also agreed with his father's approach. Now I just hope that nothing happens to my eldest brother.

When Chun Rong sent materials for Li Wei to choose, Li Wei specifically asked her what progress she had made in the past few days.

Chun Rong replied: "Please wait for a few days, Queen Mother, and give me some time."

Li Wei realized that he was a little impatient and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't rush you anymore, you take your time."

After school, Li Xing and Shujia came back by car together, and they entered Chongqing Palace hand in hand.

Seeing them, Li Wei put all the unhappiness behind her. She asked Shujia about her homework, but Shujia said unhappily: "Today, if you ask me to recite the Thousand-Character Essay, I will only be beaten by six." sentence."

"Sir, are you training me?"

Shujia shook her head and said, "No."

"Then why aren't you happy?"

"But everyone can do it, but I can't."

"You are young, so it doesn't matter if you don't know how. Let's just study hard. Let your aunt teach you." Li Wei said and glanced at Li Xing.
