Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

After returning from Sanqing Temple, Li Wei's scope of activities was limited to Chongqing Palace. She did not care about the affairs of Chaozhong, but took care of Shujia conscientiously, and concerned about Fuguang's diet and daily life. In your free time, you can draw pictures and write a text, or take a walk around Taiye Pool to pass the boring time.

Zhao Qian still enters and exits Chongqing Palace as usual, and he doesn't care about the eyes of others.

"When the old officials and I proposed to withdraw troops from Xiliang, I didn't expect that most of the people in the DPRK disagreed and quarreled with them."

The Xiliang area has been very thoughtful since Emperor Xiaozong, and has always wanted to be included in his own territory, but Xiaozong has not taken any practical actions to go to the immortal, after Chengzong succeeded to the throne, after several years of cultivation and rest, in Xikang Ten years later, he finally got into trouble with Xiliang. At first, he fought a lot of victories and regained part of the occupied territory from Xiliang. It was just that after regaining the territory and becoming an invader, Chengzong wanted to turn the entire Xiliang into the sphere of influence of the Daqi, consuming a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and sent the battle-tested General Peng Yong. After several years, Xiliang has not been taken down.

"The conflicts of interest are entangled with each other. How can they easily let go. There are many people waiting to make war fortune. It's just that the military expenditure is too large, and the three percent of the financial expenditure is paid to the army. Raising a huge army, eventually This country will be dragged down. There is no one to cultivate the desolate land outside. These soldiers who fought on the front line must return to their own land and vigorously develop production. Only a certain number of elite soldiers and strong generals can be retained. If or There will be any major wars in the future, and it will be too late to recruit troops from the people."

Faced with Li Wei's suggestion, Zhao Qian agreed. In fact, he is also working in this direction. The first step is to withdraw troops from Xiliang, and the second step is to streamline the four large camps.

"The medical museum you built is about to be completed. Would you like to see it?"

Li Wei was surprised: "Can I go and see it?"

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Why not, as long as you want to go, I will arrange it for you."

Of course Li Wei wanted to see it. She even wanted to see the Hui Medical Department. Every time she listened to Fang Zheng to report on the progress, she had never been there.

It has become Zhao Qian's habit to sit in Chongqing Palace for a while every afternoon, sometimes to discuss political affairs, sometimes just to see Li Wei.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Qian got up and left. Li Wei nodded and did not go to see him off. Zhao Qian left Linglong Pavilion, and another door, and met Li Xing oncoming.

Li Xing and Zhao Qian gave a gift, and Zhao Qian also stopped and said a few words with Li Xing with a smile.

When he was about to leave, Li Xing stopped him and asked, "Master, what about the painting you promised me?"

Zhao Qian suddenly remembered that he had made such a promise. He reached out and took it in his arms, but he didn't touch anything, and said apologetically, "I don't have it on me today. I will bring it to you someday."

What Li Xing really wanted was not a painting. As long as Zhao Qian could talk to her, she would be very happy.

"It's okay, as long as the prince remembers it."

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Naturally will remember. Five girls don't worry." He saw a small white velvet flower by Li Xing's temple, and then suddenly remembered the death of Li Wei's father. These days he came back. I never remembered to comfort her, and I don’t know how sad she was.

Zhao Qian left, Li Xing stood there and watched Zhao Qian leave. She turned her head and walked inward until Zhao Qian's figure was no longer visible.

Before going to bed, she took out the pair of shoes she made by herself. She took a lot of thoughts and thoughts on this pair of shoes. She also obeyed Li Wei's suggestion and did not embroider any complicated patterns on the upper, but she still did very well. delicate. She held the shoes in her hand, her heart became more and more worried, the girl's shyness puzzled her, making her not know how to send the shoes out, in what name.

"Sister Wu, you haven't slept yet?" Li Wei happened to pass the house where Li Xing lived, and stepped in when she saw that there was still light in her room.

Li Xing hurriedly put his shoes on his back, and replied with a smile: "I'm going to bed soon, why haven't you rested the queen mother?"

"I'm going to bed soon."

However, Li Xing's expression seemed to betray her. Li Wei saw her flushed cheeks, her hands behind her back, her lips tightly pressed, and she looked at Li Wei defensively.

Li Wei had expected two points in his heart, but an unusually gentle Li Xing said, "Well, you go to bed early, and I will go to bed too." She left after leaving these words.

When Li Wei left the room, Li Xing took out the shoes behind him and let out a long sigh of relief. Later, I felt that my behavior was inappropriate. Her sister knew about making shoes, so she didn't need to avoid her sister like this, she didn't make her sister suspicious.

Li Wei didn't take this matter to heart at all. The next day Li Wei was taking a nap and was awakened by someone in his sleep.

Li Wei opened her eyelids, but saw Lan Hui in front of the bed, she asked vaguely, "What's the matter?"

Lan Hui lowered his voice and said, "Queen Mother, the prince is waiting for you at Longqing Gate."

Longqingmen? He was going to take himself out. Li Wei remembered what the two said yesterday. At that time, he was only Zhao Qian, but he just talked casually. He didn't expect it to be true.

Lan Hui changed Li Wei's clothes. Well, it wasn't what she usually wore, but a cyan round-necked gown. To be precise, she was in a eunuch's suit. She also wore a black pointed hat, as expected. Man's dressing.

After she changed her clothes, she didn't dare to look around randomly, lowered her head and followed Lan Hui out. Lan Hui nonchalantly ordered the guards outside: "You good students are guarding the queen mother's nap. No one is allowed to trespass without the queen mother's instructions."

"Yes!"

Lan Hui took Li Wei out after the change, and there would be people who said hello on the road. Li Wei kept his head down and did not speak to anyone. In this way all the way to Longqing Gate. Zhao Qian was talking to the guard guarding the porter, and when he saw Li Wei nodded, Li Wei followed him. Out of a long alley, a carriage was waiting for them.

Zhao Qian got into the car first, and then stretched out his big hand to Li Wei, but Li Wei did not pass it up.

After the two of them sat down, the car drove slowly. Originally sitting opposite, Zhao Qian came to Li Wei's side and held her hand tightly.

Li Wei was a little nervous and said, "You are too courageous, and the queen mother can sneak out of the palace like this."

Zhao Qian smiled and said: "I'm just minimizing major issues, trying not to attract people's attention. Otherwise, what else can be inspected. Just follow me with peace of mind. There is not much time to come out, but I promise You sent it back safely."

All got in his car, and there was no other way except to believe that he had no other way.
