"Haven't you been exhausted by the war?" Liu Erlang muttered in his heart, but he would never dare to say this in front of Wei Xiaobao.

After thinking deeply, Liu Erlang began to talk nonsense, telling a lot of places where money was needed.

Every tael of expenditures of the treasury was clearly recorded by the household department, and he could have someone send the account book right now.

Wei Xiaobao didn't want to listen to these nonsense, and said, "Lord Liu, if you don't have any money, you just go and find a way." ”

Liu Erlang wants to cry without tears, he is an old man with a sixtieth birthday, where can he get so much silver?

Looking at Liu Erlang's expression, Wei Xiaobao felt funny in his heart, and said: "Lord Liu should still remember how we survived the difficulties when the treasury encountered a crisis before, right?" ”

Baiguan's face changed when he heard this, and he listened to Wei Xiaobao's meaning, this was to make them bleed again.

Now they have the East Factory servants staring at them, they don't dare to fish for oil and water, and their lives are very hard, if they are squeezed again, how can they live?

Yan Xueli stood up and confided in his heart on behalf of the hundred officials, hoping to make Wei Xiaobao change his mind.

At this moment, Li Changqing, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

When he saw Wei Xiaobao's face, he was obviously stunned, but soon showed a sweet smile.

Wei Xiaobao made a grimace, making Li Changqing laugh.

Baiguan was so nervous that he didn't even dare to come out.

When Li Changqing's mood became happy, Wei Xiaobao looked up at the hundred officials, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how hard our days are, can we have Your Majesty's suffering?" ”

Li Changqing is the king of a country, but he lives a life with today and no tomorrow.

Baiguan lowered his head, and no one dared to refute.

Wei Xiaobao asked in a cold voice: "Your Majesty's life can be more difficult than the people of the world?" ”

Ordinary people can't even fill their stomachs, and someone in the family is sick, so they can basically only rely on God's mercy, and if they can survive, they can survive, and if they can't survive, they will be buried in the ground for a long time.

If the family has no money to buy rice, how can they have the money to go to the doctor and buy medicine?

All the officials were silent.

Wei Xiaobao stood up with Li Changqing in his arms, and said coldly: "The rectification of the government cannot be three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but it must be persisted for a long time, and the next six ministries will work together to let those corrupt officials all show up, so that those bullies and gentry have nowhere to hide." ”

After speaking, Wei Xiaobao strode away with Li Changqing in his arms.

Xiao An hurriedly opened his throat and shouted, "Retreat." ”

Baiguan slowly turned around and walked out of the Jinluan Hall weakly.

When they arrived outside the temple, they did not leave, but gathered together to discuss what to do.

"One thing the Overseer is right, that is, no matter how hard our life is, we will not suffer more than Your Majesty and the people of the world, and those corrupt officials and bullies live a life that is called a race fairy." Yan Xueli knew that they had to do what Wei Xiaobao proposed, otherwise when Wei Xiaobao did it himself, their situation would be even more difficult.

Liu Shangwen said: "I admit that I am not a Qing official, and I have often done some corrupt things along the way, but now that Dawei is worried about internal and external troubles, if I can't wake up again, then what will happen to us and our families, I don't need to say it clearly, right?" ”

The auxiliary ministers all said so, and the rest of the officials naturally had no opinion, and nodded in agreement.

They need to set an example for local officials and continue to change from top to bottom.

Sending Li Changqing back to Lanxin Palace, when Wei Xiaobao was about to leave, Li Changqing actually cried, opened his arms and insisted on Wei Xiaobao to hug him.

Huang Fu couldn't be coaxed no matter how she coaxed, and there was a lot of sadness in her embarrassed expression.

Li Changqing wants his father's embrace, which is sad and pitiful.

Wei Xiaobao stayed for the time being and accompanied Li Changqing to play in Lanxin Palace.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived." Xiao An's shout suddenly came from outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Sun sat on a simple sedan chair, her face pale.

followed Li Wei on the side, and her face was also ugly.

Wei Xiaobao heard the shout and chuckled, "They are here to ask for guilt." ”

Huang Fu nodded, she had already prepared for this, and immediately got up to greet her.

The sedan chair was carried to the garden, Li Wei helped the Empress Dowager Sun down, and caught a glimpse of Wei Xiaobao who was also there, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth.

Empress Dowager Sun sat down on the stone bench in the garden, glared at Wei Xiaobao coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "Father-in-law Wei, I heard that today is the morning dynasty that you took Your Majesty to?" ”

Wei Xiaobao didn't answer yet, but he heard Huang Fu say: "Queen Mother, I ordered Father-in-law Wei to do this. ”

"I'm teaching the minions, it's your turn to interject?" The anger in Empress Dowager Sun's heart is incomprehensible, whether it is Wei Xiaobao or Huang Fu, she has to preach well today.

The only male son of the Li family is Li Changqing, but the women of the Li family are not dead.

Wei Xiaobao's expression was calm, and he said softly: "The Queen Mother's body is getting heavier and heavier, and it is really not suitable to continue to go to court." ”

"Even if the imperial sister-in-law can't take Changqing to the court, then it won't be your turn, right?" Li Wei immediately retorted.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said: "The Empress Dowager is ill and unable to deal with state affairs, and the rest of the candidates seem to be the county lords, right?" ”

Li Wei reacted so much and behaved so positively, it seems that she wants to participate in national politics.

"Although I'm young and a woman, I'm more suitable than Grandpa Wei, right?" Li Wei did not hide her thoughts.

Wei Xiaobao said: "In the early dynasty after that, the county lord can take His Majesty there, but I am entangled in trivial matters and cannot stay in Chang'an forever." ”

Li Wei couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, what does this gelding mean?

In her and Empress Dowager Sun's view, Wei Xiaobao wanted to monopolize power, slowly replace the Li family, and let Great Wei Jiangshan change his surname to Wei.

But Wei Xiaobao gave up the opportunity to go to court so easily, which was really unexpected by them.

Empress Dowager Sun followed Wei Xiaobao's words and said, "Since Duke Wei has spoken publicly, Wei'er, from tomorrow onwards, you will take Changqing to the court." ”

"Yes." Li Wei's face was full of excitement.

Empress Dowager Sun was in a better mood and wanted to hug Li Changqing, but she coughed violently.

She hurriedly turned around, got into the sedan chair, and hurried away.

"Changqing, the imperial aunt will come to see you tomorrow." Li Wei followed closely, eager to ask Empress Dowager Sun for advice on how to handle state affairs.

If she didn't understand anything, she probably wouldn't be able to sit on the dragon chair for long.

Huang Fu watched them leave, his expression was solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "Xiaobao, why do you want to back down?" ”

Wei Xiaobao sneered and said, "The Queen Mother really thinks that Li Wei can handle state affairs, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun may be okay, but Li Wei's words are okay.

Huang Fu smiled when she heard this.

She could imagine Li Wei sitting on the dragon chair, holding Li Changqing in her arms, facing the state affairs raised by hundreds of officials, that helpless look, it must be very funny and funny.

In the morning of the next day, Baiguan was shocked to see that the person who appeared with Li Changqing in his arms this time was actually replaced by Li Wei.

But when dealing with state affairs, Li Wei is like a three-year-old child, every word she says can make hundreds of officials vomit blood.

"What did the county lord just say?" Yan Xueli thought that it was because he was old and dizzy and deaf, so he didn't hear clearly.

Li Wei hugged Li Changqing in her arms, and said: "The common people can't eat, so they can eat meat, why do you have to ask the court to take silver to help them?" ”

All the officials rubbed their foreheads gently.

The vast majority of them are corrupt officials.

In the past, when the imperial court carried out disaster relief, they would embezzle some layers of disaster relief money, and in the end, they would still leave some money for the victims.

Li Wei is good, thinking that the people have no food to eat, so they can completely change to eat meat, and there is no need for disaster relief at all, this logic simply makes the officials sigh to themselves.

After going down, Li Wei was very proud, feeling that she couldn't deal with the problems that hundreds of officials couldn't handle, she was really amazing.

She ran to tell the Empress Dowager Sun about this, and almost didn't make the Empress Dowager Sun angry.

"You can't eat, you let the victims eat meat?" Empress Dowager Sun's eyes widened, and she coughed violently again.

Li Wei innocently asked, "Queen Mother, can't you?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun was about to count the numbers, when a little eunuch hurried in and whispered in his ear.

Empress Dowager Sun's face changed drastically and asked, "Really?" ”

"Someone in the family came to Chang'an, it's true." The little eunuch replied.

Empress Dowager Sun clenched her fists and said coldly: "What a Wei Xiaobao, the mourning family really underestimated him." ”

"Queen Mother, what's wrong?" Li Wei asked curiously.

Empress Dowager Sun said angrily: "Wei Xiaobao is checking on my mother's family. ”

"What? That dog slave is so bold. As soon as Li Wei heard this, she was furious, and she wanted to go to the Wei Mansion to settle accounts with Wei Xiaobao.

Empress Dowager Sun stopped her and bowed her head in contemplation.

After a while, she said to the little eunuch: "Tell the family to be more restrained during this time, and don't make any more moths." ”

The little eunuch agreed, and after leaving the palace, he did not go to the inn, but went straight to the Wei Mansion.
