Chapter 3: The Biggest Boss of the Nation
Several palace people were already waiting in front of the main hall, and when they saw His Majesty coming back, they bowed their heads to the ground.
"Welcome back to the palace! May Your Majesty be happy for thousands of generations! See the Regent, may the Regent be happy forever! β
Forehead...... Li Wei looked at the palace maids and guards on the ground a little nervously, and at this moment she felt that her identity was indeed an imperial daughter, and sure enough, a person's identity must be recognized to have a sense of security.
"No need to ......" Li Wei just wanted to say that there was no need to be polite, but finally changed it bluntly, "No need to be polite, flat!" β
"Thank you! Thank you, Regent! β
A palace maid who was about twenty years old walked over, she walked in a well-fitting palace step, dressed in emerald green light yarn, and wore some precious gold hair ornaments on her head, although Li Wei couldn't understand what status these superficial ornaments represented, but she could feel that the status of this palace maid was higher than that of other palace maids.
Even if she didn't walk fast or slow, her steps were a little eager, and her face was full of worry.
"Your Majesty, you're back! Grandma is going to be worried to death!? β
Is she Mama Bi who serves the emperor closely? Li Wei was a little stunned for a moment: People are still in their prime, why do they want to be called grandma?
"Your Majesty, are you hurt?" Seeing that Li Wei didn't speak, Mama Bi checked her whole body, "Go back to the palace and let Grandma take a closer look at you?" β
At this time, Guan Qianyi said, "Your Majesty has an injury to his hand, and the minister has notified the imperial doctor to come over." Mama Bi still took Her Majesty back first, and there may be other wounds. β
When Mama Bi heard this, tears flowed out, "Your Majesty has suffered!" β
"I, I'm fine, let's go back to the palace first, go back to the palace." Li Wei couldn't stand so many onlookers, and took the lead in approaching the palace, Mama Bi thanked Guan Qianyi, and then quickly followed Li Wei, retreated from the others, leaving only four palace maids and eight guards to guard the palace gate and the inner hall, and asked people to inform the imperial dining room to serve food.
Doctor Chen came over to carefully examine Li Wei's hand wound, applied medicine, and instructed Mama Bi to change the dressing on time, and after three days, the wound scarred, not scratched by hand, waiting for the scar to detach, and then carefully applied with scar removal cream.
Sending away Imperial Physician Chen, Mama Bi's tears still kept flowing, Li Wei felt that she couldn't go away, Mama Bi was a person who was really good to the emperor's daughter, this kind of love really made her a little jealous, after all, she was not the emperor's daughter, so that Mama Bi was worried or a little guilty, in her shushing cold and asking for warmth, her eyes were also moist, this kind of warmth that someone cared about and remembered, she also had it, although she was separated by a time and space, she still couldn't help crying.
"Why are you crying? Does the wound hurt? Mama Bi hugged her in the chest and kept comforting, "Grandma is here, Your Majesty can rest for a while, and when you wake up, you won't be afraid of anything." β
Li Wei circled her waist and was awkward for a long time before she shouted, "Grandma, I'm fine." It's just that I'm going to tell you something. β
"Well, let's talk about it."
"I can't remember what happened before, Grandma wants to help me."
"ιxiΓ ! β¦β¦ This is no joke! Li Wei clearly felt the tremor of Mama Bi's body.
"No kidding. The regent knows. Li Wei got up from her arms, but her eyes were down.
Mama Bi remembered the look in her eyes when she saw her for the first time just now, and her heart was clear, "No wonder Mama didn't recognize Grandma at first sight, Grandma thought that Grandma was frightened." It turned out to be, hey, that's it, it's okay, I don't remember the things, grandma remembers, and I tell you. β
"Your Majesty, she is the emperor of a country, and she is the lord of a country in Beichen Kingdom!"
β¦β¦
Mama Bi told Li Wei the general situation, and other details will be added slowly at ordinary times. Li Wei told the regent Jian yì and Bi Mama that she wanted to hide her amnesia. Mama Bi agreed, and added a few points, and at the same time carefully told a few henchmen, and told Li Wei which people in the palace were trustworthy, including the four guards in the southeast, northwest, and north, and asked them to come over and identify Li Wei, who were the four guards of Dongdong, Nannan, Xixi, and Beibei. Li Wei almost laughed at their name, this name is easy to remember, and it is very distinctive, and the person who named it is really talented.
However, in order to welcome tomorrow's early dynasty, Li Wei was forced to learn etiquette by Mama Bi, and she kept nagging, why did she lose her memory and even forgot these basic etiquette. Li Wei didn't dare to say that she was unwilling, so she had to learn etiquette head-on. Fortunately, Beichen Kingdom does not have many etiquettes for the emperor, and most of them only need to remember how others have to answer when they give gifts.
On the first day of returning to the palace, she spent it in a compact way, and after dinner, Mama Bi withdrew all the palace people and piled up all the twists and turns accumulated in front of her, Li Wei was dumbfounded for a moment!
There are five stacks of folds, each stack is half a meter high, Li Wei pressed down a stack of folds with her hands, and the height dropped by one-third, although the folds are elastic, but there are too many stacks of five! Li Wei's mouth flattened, and she looked at Mama Bi pitifully.
Even though Mama Bi is usually spoiled by the emperor's daughter, she is extremely strict at the moment, "This is a state matter, Your Majesty needs to be cautious, and you can't be sloppy." Seeing that Li Wei's eyes had completely lost their brilliance, and the whole person had lost weight, she was also distressed, but tomorrow was the morning dynasty, and all the officials were waiting to see whether the majesty was safe and sound, and there must be no big mistakes.
Li Wei picked up a book of folds at random, opened it and glanced at it, and when she saw the font on it, she was first relieved, fortunately, it was a traditional Chinese character, and she knew it. However, the words of these excerpts are dense, making people dizzy, if she wants to read them in one night, wouldn't she have to stay up all night, but with her reading efficiency, with her rookie governing ability, she can review the folds? Let's make an international joke!
Thinking of this, Li Wei folded her hand, held her head and leaned down on the chair, with a posture of "I want to be quiet".
"If Your Majesty is worried, why don't you ask the regent to come over and talk about it?" Bi Mama built yì said.
Li Wei instantly raised her head and looked at Mama Bi, she originally thought that Mama Bi must also be the opposite of the regent, but she asked the regent for help in the first place, which was a little strange.
"What do you think? Grandma doesn't understand the affairs of the court, and she doesn't dare to go beyond the rules, the regent is the first auxiliary king canonized by the previous emperor, and he must have his superiority, in the treatment of Beichen state affairs, the regent will always put the country first. Mama Bi's expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see any favoritism or excessive color.
Mama Bi has a point, the person Li Wei trusts the most now, except for Mama Bi, the most capable person she knows is Guan Qianyi, and he is the person who got him back, and he is the regent, who else can he find if he doesn't look for this matter?
"Announce the regent into the palace immediately!"
But the time for a stick of incense, the regent has arrived.
After inquiry, I learned that the regent's residence was only three miles away from the palace.
After greeting the monarch and ministers, two cups of tea were served in the imperial study.
"The regent of Youlao has come over in the evening."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be polite, this is what a minister should do."
Incense rose in the hall, and the two sat in front of the desk, fighting at night under the bright candlelight. The two of them watched separately, exchanged after reading it, and then began to answer questions.
Li Wei's traditional Chinese characters are slower and more laborious to read.
"The case of illegal salt trafficking in Chenzhou, do you remember?" Guan Qianyi asked slowly, and when she shook her head, she continued to answer, "This matter is related to bandits, and the salt of the Chenzhou generation of transportation officials is mostly waterways, and water bandits are rampant......"
"There are many disasters in the Silent Plain, and the imperial grain is not continued, this matter has been arranged, and Your Majesty can ask the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Qian Guang Coin and the Ministry of Household Secretary Li Shanghua tomorrow."
"There have been many victories in the war in northern Xinjiang, but the soldiers and horses of the Xiyi country are strong, there are harassments from time to time, and it is difficult to solve the root cause of one or two victories. If His Majesty is willing to study deeply, he can start the layout tomorrow, and issue an order with the military department, but he must find the right person to discuss in northern Xinjiang, this person must not only have the ability to protect himself, but also must have the ability to discern, if he can negotiate with the Xiyu country and sign a contract, it would be better. His Majesty doesn't know much about state affairs now, and this matter can be discussed later. β
β¦β¦
"The courtiers built yΓ¬ to reopen the Tai Academy, nothing more than to send their children into the main hall, and to have more contact with His Majesty and the Seventeenth Prince, this matter needs to be considered by His Majesty, and it is inconvenient for the courtiers to build yΓ¬. By the way, Mama Bi should know about Her Majesty, now in addition to the few princesses who are married far away, King Xu in the fiefdom, there are only His Majesty and the Seventeenth Prince, the Seventeenth Prince is only ten years old this year, and it is also the age when he can enter the Tai Academy. β
Li Wei sat on the chair, staring at the folds in front of her, motionless, her ears were full of the names of official positions, and her head was like a mess of paste. Hearing that there was a younger brother in the palace, Beichen Luo, his eyes just moved, Mama Bi had already told her, Beichen Luo was the seventeenth prince of the first emperor, he was young, and he took care of it by his side. Her predecessor didn't seem to like this brother very much, and she didn't know what was going on.
Guan Qianyi's voice was like a spring, not slow or fast, if it was usual, Li Wei would definitely listen to it with relish, and even reverie constantly, but now, this beautiful voice gave her a headache like a spell. Although Guan Qianyi has been asked to pick out the key points to tell, these things are also annoying.
"The murder case of the Criminal Department has been stored for a long time, and it has not been solved for two years, and His Majesty can exert pressure on the Criminal Department as appropriate."
Li Wei seemed to wake up and asked, "Criminal Department?" What homicide case? β
Guan Qianyi was a little surprised, he explained all the way, observing her expression from time to time, and saw that she either shook her head in confusion or closed her eyes with a headache, and then she simply remained motionless, thinking that she was asleep. At this moment, she looked at him with a spirit on her face, her eyes became extremely smart, and she actually asked what kind of case it was?
"Xiao Liangcheng, the squire of the Ministry of Works, was killed, and his body was whipped and hung at the gate of Taishi. The Taishi argued that he was framed, and the Criminal Department did not dare to make a conclusion. Before Xiao Liangcheng was killed, he had a dispute with Taishi, and even had a big fight, but due to insufficient verification and insufficient evidence against Taishi, the case could not be conclusive. β
"Taishi?" Li Weiming nodded and asked, "My mother's family?" "She will be interested in criminal cases because she usually dabbles in detective novels more, so she secretly keeps this matter in mind, and this matter involves Taishi, I'm afraid it's not so simple. She yawned lazily and shifted to a more comfortable position in her chair.
Guan Qianyi nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty wants to call yourself me." β
She nodded, and answered Guan Qianyi. Seeing that although he was expressionless, although he disagreed with his words and deeds, he would not reprimand loudly, calm and measured, with a strict sΓΉ of business, orderly and step-by-step calm, for some reason, she was no longer so afraid of tomorrow morning, so she was also relaxed.
Guan Qianyi was tired of listening to her, but looking at the remaining half of the recital, her brows also wrinkled.
Li Wei looked at her, her tilted head was a little more casual, her eyes were clear but she couldn't hide her tiredness, her palm-sized face was black and white in the candlelight, "Regent, I'm tired and can't continue to stay up late, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep on the dragon chair tomorrow." β
He had seen the emperor's weakness, and Guan Qianyi was confused by the person in front of him. Now in front of him is a half-grown child, delicate, fragile and fragile, and speaks with the smell of a coquettish milk doll, which seems to have a sense of dependence on him. This kind of non-hostile existence, which he never seemed to feel, made him feel quite novel.
"The rest of the matter, the regent knows, I will try to talk as little as possible, and act according to your color. Otherwise, I will pretend to be sick, I have been missing for so many days, I have been running around for a long time, I am a generation of emperors, it is okay to be unwell and need to rest. β
"His Majesty is the king of a country, and the dragon body is a matter of importance, and the ministers are naturally considerate and supportive."
"Huh! That's it! Li Wei was suddenly happy, her eyes were bright, she stood up, and stretched a more elegant waist, "In that case, then Regent, you should go back and rest earlier, I am going to rest." β
"There are still two hours to go, and the rest of the recitals need to be consulted. The minister still stays in the imperial study. β
"Two hours?" That's four hours, and you can sleep for a while. Li Wei pondered for a moment, asked Mama Bi and the palace maid of the night watch to come in, explained that she wanted to take care of the regent, and brought some snacks over.
"Then there will be the Regent of Law, I'll go to sleep first!"
After the polite words were spoken, Li Wei kicked her legs and rushed directly to her palace, and her strict and bright yellow clothes were stunned to give her a bit of graceful dancing. Mama Bi behind her looked surprised, and then looked back and saw the regent's frowning brows, Mama Bi was a little ashamed: "The emperor has become a lot more lively, her manners and manners, and the slave will continue to supervise." β
The regent's handsome eyes sank, and he waved his hand to make the palace people retreat.
Sitting down again, he twisted his brow when he saw these twists and turns, these twists and turns he faced every day, why did he find these twists and turns boring now?
Li Wei returned to the palace and saw the big dragon bed with black lines on her face.
That's enough to sleep a dozen people, right? The golden gauze curtain hanging in mid-air surrounds the bed, and people don't have to worry about falling down when they sleep on it, but with such a big bed, one person will be afraid to sleep on it! It's not so capricious to be rich, is it? It must meet the physiological and psychological standards of the human body!
And also! Why are bed sheets golden? You don't need to spread this color like this, right? Who can sleep with this golden light?
No, it's going to be replaced first thing tomorrow or sometime!
"Grandma, turn off the lights, I want to sleep!"
"Your Majesty, there must be two candles, this is the rule of our first emperor. If something happens in the middle of the night, the night watchman will not be blind. β
"I," Li Wei wanted to say that she was afraid of light, but her predecessor didn't seem to have this habit, right? It's going to be annoying! It's been a busy day, and she can't sleep well, so what can she do? "There's moonlight outside, I can see it, put out the candlelight, it dazzles me, I'm so tired today, grandma, just follow me?" Spoiling is really her forte.
"Okay, Grandma will guard it for you." Mama Bi felt sorry for her and wanted her to go to bed earlier.
This has come and gone, Li Wei has also figured out Mama Bi's temperament, she can't grind hard, and coquettishness always works. Of course, don't be coquettish with her in court politics, this is what she does not allow.
Mama Bi's character really wants to train her to become a generation of admirable emperors.
"Grandma, you don't have to keep watching, go to sleep. There were guards outside the hall, and no one could break in. I was so tired that I couldn't get up in the middle of the night. β
"It's better for Grandma to stay at ease."
"I don't want Grandma to work so hard, or Grandma will sleep with me?" This bed is big, and one person has a little space.
"This can't be helped, you child, although you have forgotten things, you remember to feel sorry for grandma. But this rule can't be broken. Grandma just go back, it's next door. There are two palace maids who are keeping vigil outside, and the guards, if there is something to do, shout it. β
After careful advice, Mama Bi finally left and went back to rest.
Li Wei replied in a low voice, already asleep.
The sky was slightly bright, and the bell of Changxin Palace rang, and a sound spread throughout the entire palace.
There was already an attendant coming to summon her, Li Wei got up with great difficulty, after a simple freshening, hastily ate some liquid hot porridge, looked at those various dim sums, ate a few bites randomly, and strode out of the door.
"Duo can! It's not dawn yet! Li Wei just stepped out of the palace gate and complained.
The little eunuch Duo next to her can smile on his face, and he has to be able to look at his eyes, in addition to not letting His Majesty sleep miss the time of the court, he must also pay attention to controlling His Majesty's temper, and if he is not careful, he will suffer.
"Isn't that what Your Majesty said? It's been so early, and the minions have just gotten up! β
Seeing that Duo Neng had a clever face, Li Wei looked sideways slightly, such a clever character looked very interesting, tease him, "Oh, it turns out that Duo Neng is too early, how about changing the time?" I'm going to discuss it with the courtiers today? β
Duo Neng immediately knelt down with a bitter face: "Ouch, don't toss the minions!" If the rules of the court are to be modified because of the sentence of the minion, how can the minion live? You can't do it! No way! β
"Get up, don't kneel down in the future!"
"Hey, hey, that's what Your Majesty said!" With that, he smiled and straightened up. The fart followed up, and Duo could feel that after this majesty came back, he smiled a little more, and it seemed that people were also a lot more friendly.
Passing by the Imperial Study, ask the guards at the door, is the regent available? He replied that he had gone to the court.
Li Wei began to feel apprehensive at this moment.
In the morning, I was naturally more nervous than on the podium.
She strode forward, as steady as she could, but her heart was beating more and more violently.
There is some tumbling in my stomach, no, I want to go to the hut!
"I'm going to the toilet, where is the toilet?"
"Toilets?"
"Izuku!" Li Wei almost yelled to.
Duo Neng immediately led the way and trotted, Li Wei still pretended to be an imperial daughter in a hurry, with a sad face and fast steps.
When she felt comfortable in her abdomen, Duo could immediately take her to court.
"Plenty of time?" Li Wei asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the time is acceptable."
"Well, that's good!"
As he walked forward, there were a few cries in the corridor hall, and the sound sounded like a palace maid.
Duo could see that his master's mood was affected, and hurriedly answered, "Ouch, these seventeen princes are making trouble again." Majesty, do you want to go in and have a look? Duo Neng just asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Wei to nod and enter the hall without saying a word. Duo Neng followed in surprise, but his mind couldn't turn around.
This Chonghua Palace was originally the residence of the current emperor when the emperor was still alive, and the layout was exquisite and atmospheric, but since the emperor ascended the throne, this palace should have been vacant to pay respects, but the regent said that it would be used as the residence of the seventeenth prince. For this matter, the emperor and the regent had a dispute, but the regent said that it was the intention of the first emperor, and the emperor did not object, but she did not like it, and then issued a decree, so that the seventeen princes could not take a step out of the palace without anything, and the emperor never stepped into the Chonghua Palace after that.
The emperor's approach actually confined the seventeenth prince. Despite this, he received news from Chonghua Palace from time to time, and the seventeenth prince was stubborn and knocked the Taifu out of the gate many times. So the emperor simply dismissed the Taifu, and after that, the Chonghua Palace was quiet for a while, but recently it has started to make trouble again.
Duo Neng frowned, silenced the two guards guarding the door, signaled them to be silent, and then led Li Wei in, but he wondered in his heart, what happened to His Majesty today? I haven't heard the cries of Chonghua Palace once or twice, and I've never seen a time when His Majesty wants to go in and have a look.
As soon as Li Wei stepped into Chonghua Palace, she met two palace maids who were playing blindly, one pounced directly, and the other saw someone coming, with a bright yellow figure, and her face turned white with fright!
"Dare to be a slave!" Duo Neng scolded loudly, his eyes were sharp, the two palace maids knelt on the ground, and a kneeling palace maid and the old lady sitting on the table and chair behind were stunned for a moment, the palace maid's face was full of palm prints, Li Wei looked at them, and her anger gradually rose.
