Great Wei Palace, the warm breeze in midsummer is slightly hot, the cicadas only have one or two sounds, just into the summer, many palace people in the palace have already got the instructions from above, lest they disturb the rest of the most noble queen mother in the palace, three rounds of 100 people a day, according to the schedule every day gently dancing with a white gauze net pocket in various places to catch annoying cicadas.

I don't know if it has been effective for many days, or if the Tzu Chi Palace is too deep, even the carp who is quietly kneeling in the main hall of the Tzu Chi Palace feels as if the heat of midsummer is isolated from the outside, and the slightly cool air from the marble slab under her knees is a little sour to her knees, but she can only bow her head slightly with a respectful expression, kneeling, just because the top of the hall is sitting her own queen mother.

Since the bloody night eight years ago, Wei Ruoshui, the empress dowager of the Great Wei, and the perennial garrison of King Jing, Liancheng, have become the pillars of the Great Wei's continued operation, one represents the imperial power, the other holds the military power, and the internal and external intersects, and when the first emperor violently killed the rebel party, they joined forces to suppress many riotous forces. Speaking of which, Great Wei was able to convene hundreds of officials to the court as usual on the second day of the emperor's violent death, relying on the army of King Jing who returned to Beijing in time that night to save the driver, and the empress dowager Wei Ruoshui, who risked the risk of rebelling against the party and slaughtering the palace on the bloody night, gave birth to Lin'er to stabilize the government.

At that time, orphans and widows were in a very difficult situation. Fortunately, King Jing suppressed rumors and dissent with a very domineering hand, fully supported the Queen Mother to take power, and also added a touch of pathos to the youthful love between the two in their earlier youth. Wu Youjing Wang's military power supported each other, and Wen Youxin's Wenchen Sikou Xiangming led the ministers to dominate public opinion, so this generation of Wei formed a situation in which King Jing, the Queen Mother, and the Prime Minister jointly supported the national pillar, and the little emperor of Wei lived leisurely under these three big umbrellas.

But at this time, the carp is not very leisurely. She looked a little dejected, felt the pressure from above her head, shrank slightly, but after a long time, she mustered up the courage to raise her head again, and continued the previous topic with the gloomy gaze of the Queen Mother:

"The queen mother is worried that the palace is not enough? The emptiness of the treasury is one thing, but for the government and the people, if you don't care about the life and death of the people, how can you come to Wei?"

"Nonsense!"

The Queen Mother Wei Ruoshui trembled with anger, dropped the teacup, and the splashed porcelain pieces almost flew to Lian Li's side, the half-hidden Dancôme nails in the wide sleeves embroidered with large golden silk peonies reflected the cold light, and the black-faced Shi Lan, who had followed the Queen Mother for many years, looked calm, turned her hand and handed over the re-brewed tea cup, walked gently to the back of the chair, and rubbed her temples for the Queen Mother, who was trembling with anger.

"Hongu ...... How much effort has it taken to this palace, but you believe other people's nonsense out of thin air?!" Wei Ruoshui, who was angry, blocked Shi Lan's hand, stroked the phoenix chair's arms, and pursed his red lips tightly, as if he wanted to press it into a red line, and the sword-like light shot towards the little emperor who was kneeling respectfully below.

"Your Majesty is only a mother in this palace who is greedy for pleasure, and disregards the livelihood of the people in Duanzhou and refuses to allocate funds for the repair of the river dam?" The Queen Mother was furious, slapped the chair arm hard, and laughed angrily: "Then Your Majesty means that even if the treasury is empty, you can allocate money by reducing the amount of money in the palace?"

Lian Li looked at the angry appearance of the queen mother, and also understood where he probably said something wrong, and he also looked aggrieved, lowered his head and whispered: "Reducing the amount of money in the palace is just to alleviate, naturally it is not a way, the key is that it is also necessary to urgently adjust taxes and silver from various states to fill the gaps in the treasury." ”

"What about the tax silver?" Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui's angry face suddenly became slightly mocking, and she looked at the young child and said coldly: "Tax adjustment silver? Your Majesty thinks that the tax silver in various states is so easy to adjust? Not to mention how complicated it is to verify the various income items reported by various states, counties, counties and townships, just conduct on-the-spot inspections, evaluate and evaluate the tax ratio, count the foreign exchange and silver money, and transport and pay warehouses along the way. ”

"The child thinks that the treasury storage process is a bit complicated and lengthy. Lian Li, carefully considering the words, quickly searched for the brief history books he had read in his memory, and said with a draft: "Maybe we should use a more concise method instead." ”

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, but her expression was not much interested in asking for details, she just looked at Lian Li and whispered deeply: "Since the three generations of the royal family of the first emperor have spent a lot, they can't make ends meet, and now there are only a few strong treasury left, and it is very reluctant to rely on the annual tax to supply all parties." Your Majesty is naturally worried about the people in the country, but it is also necessary to consider a little more, it is not that the queen mother is unwilling to allocate funds, the situation on the border has been unstable in recent years, and the military needs have been spent more than before, how can Your Majesty believe in slanderous rumors to accuse the queen mother?"

The guilt on Lian Li's face was even worse, and he deeply blamed himself: "The child has wronged the queen mother." ”

Seeing this scene, the depression in the queen mother's heart eased slightly, and she continued worriedly: "Your Majesty also said before that whether to reduce the welcome etiquette and many other matters, but Your Majesty knows that Great Wei is not as good as moving forward, once the defeat is revealed, who is good to get along with the few over there?"

Lian Li followed the words of the Empress Dowager, and couldn't help but think of the countries near the Great Wei: the Qi State focused on the development of the eastern continent, and it should be a friendly country when it heard that the national style was warm and free; the southern Chu State respected the temple, not to mention that the people who were chattering with the gods and gods sent troops to find a righteous name, and the quagmire of the Manchu State also led to the result of the Chu State's weak military strength, but the Qin State in the north...... Receiving a report from Uncle Wang in the north, it seems that the actions of the Qin State have also been a little big in recent years......

Lian Lili thought to himself, seemed to have forgotten where he was, scratched his eyebrows from time to time and muttered something in a low voice, Wei Ruoshui and Shi Lan, who were sitting on a high place, couldn't hear clearly, so the fire in the queen mother's stomach rose by three points, and she snorted dissatisfied.

"What about the Duanzhou embankment? If this summer is the same as last year, it will be fine if there is less rain, but if it is the same as the year before, then the rainy season will come soon. Lian Li said timidly because he was afraid of his mother's angry shouting.

Wei Ruoshui looked at her with some displeasure, and said coldly: "What does this twisted and pruning look like! The child in this palace is the monarch of Great Wei! How can he be so cowardly and incompetent and shallow!"

Lian Li was a little startled, and with caution, he whispered to the ground: "The child knows that he is wrong. ”

Seeing Lian Li's trembling appearance, the Queen Mother seemed to come back to her senses after venting her anger, restrained her anger, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty don't care about the matter of the Duanzhou Dam, I have told the states to prepare the warehouse silver first, and the queen mother will naturally remit the silver later." Defender Ruoshui groaned, looked at his child with pity, frowned slightly for a long time, and suddenly muttered: "It seems that Your Majesty's birthday is coming, when is it ......coming?"

Shi Lan, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, seemed to have a frozen expression when she heard this, bowed down slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Ten days later, May 30." ”

Hearing this, Wei Ruoshui's slightly upturned orchid tail finger on the arm of the phoenix chair trembled slightly, Zhu Dan's red lips pursed, his eyes suddenly became a little trance-like, and even with a trace of imperceptible grief and pain, he muttered: "May 30, 30...... Why can't I remember this palace, why can't I remember it......"

I had never seen my mother like this, and Lian Li couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Aunt Shilan next to the chair a little helplessly.

Shi Lan on the side had already reacted, reached out and held the cold fingers of the Queen Mother, and with a slight force, Wei Ruoshui looked around with a blank look, and saw the little emperor kneeling down and looking at him fixedly, he was slightly stunned, suddenly lowered his head, raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples and sighed: "Why is this headache not good......
