Today, after meeting with Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan, who returned from Japan, Wang Qi has nothing to deal with for the time being.

It has been three months since the Wuhan corruption case in Hubei Province - in the whole of Hubei, the parliament and the scientific society have dismissed a total of 79 officials, large and small, of which the serious crimes have been reported to the Ministry of Justice for approval of the death penalty, and the rest have been exiled to Gansu and Lingnan regions.

After Wang Qi personally approved several death sentences, the rest was approved by the committee.

Two days ago, the number of alternate members of the parliament had been decided: Sun Chuanting and Wang Shoutian were alternates, and they officially became members of the parliament at the main election meeting three years later.

The famine in the Shanxi region has also been alleviated under the management of Sun Chuanting, and the newly cultivated corn and sweet potatoes have been successfully harvested in Puzhou, Jiexiu, Datong, Yulin, and Hanzhong after three rounds of planting.

With food, and all taxes reduced, and business flourishing in various places, there is naturally no soil for the growth of people's livelihood.

Sun Chuanting recently returned to Beijing to report on his work, so how can he talk about this matter.

In addition, with regard to the peasant army headed by Gao Yingxiang who had stupefied into Sichuan and other places, the garrisons in various localities had already begun to discuss the gradual extermination of the matter in conjunction with the parliament, and Lu Xiangsheng personally went to Sichuan to supervise the war, and according to the latest war report, the matter should be concluded by the end of the year.

Closing the reply to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Qi put the pen back on the pen holder.

After reviewing the music all morning, my eyes were a little tired.

After more than two years of running-in, the various departments of the parliament have been running relatively smoothly, and there is generally no need for a few major members to come forward, except for major national events.

Looking at the music and secret letter at hand, Wang Qi slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the garden outside the window - the weather in November was already cold outside the window.

Since taking the helm of parliament, Wang Qi feels that time is passing faster and faster.

If you don't pay attention to it, the years will pass, and the old people will grow old.

"My lord," the voice of the attendant officer sounded softly: "Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and someone from Cining Palace invites you to attend the dinner prepared for the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother.

Wang Qi sighed lightly when he heard this, he was in the middle of his ten years, sitting in the deep palace, and he always felt a little uncomfortable with her.

"Does the council have any congratulatory gifts?" Wang Qi is always bad to go empty-handed.

"Back to your lordship," the attendant nodded, "The Inner Palace Division has prepared a glass lantern and a bottle of treasure called perfume, all of which are Xihan things that have been paid tribute from the West. ”

"Oh," Wang Qi nodded: "Bring something over there, remember to remind me to go later." ”

"Subordinates obey."

————

Today, the entire imperial city is furnished with extravagance and extravagance.

From the Donghua Gate to the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lives.

Along the way, the ground is laid, the sky is hung, the eaves glazed tiles are hanged, the lanterns are colorful, the red silk and yellow satin are all for the queen mother.

Zhang Yan is now the most valuable figure in the entire imperial city, and he is also the honorary president of the council, and his relationship with several members of the council is also extraordinary.

Especially Wang Tiqian, Sun Chengzong and Wang Qi.

Although Wang Tiqian and Sun Chengzong are already old, but the identity of the former councillor is there, even if they return to the township, the prefectures and counties will also serve and be treated as guests, who dares to slack off? Their words can influence national policy.

Not to mention Wang Qi, who is in charge of the parliament.

According to folk rumors, there is still some ambiguity between the Empress Dowager Zhang and the consuls.

Although the Queen Mother herself does not want to operate with such fanfare, for the royal family, this is also a signal to the outside world, that is, although the royal family has declined, it still has a strong influence, even if it is the parliament, there is some respect for the royal family.

Sometimes, the pomp is not for yourself, it is for others to see.

"The Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived," the personal palace maid entered the palace and said hello to the Queen Mother.

Nowadays, although the outside world has not been called the emperor for a long time, and even the emperor does not know who the emperor is, but in the inner garden of the palace, the name of the emperor is still useful and extremely valuable.

The Queen Mother wore a bright yellow satin palace skirt today, wearing a phoenix crown and a little powder, looking like a fairy descending to the earth, and the beauty was extraordinarily moving.

"Is the Archon coming?" The pen in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhang did not stop.

Today's birthday banquet, all departments and departments in the palace, as well as the great eunuchs, and the rewards of the grandmothers are not missing.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhang is personally transcribing the list of rewards.

The Imperial City Division of the Parliament has not withheld the royal support, but it is enough to maintain the royal dignity.

"I haven't arrived yet, I've already asked people to invite me," the palace maid said Nuo Nuo.

With a red pen in her hand, the Queen Mother gently pursed her red lips, her pink lips instantly turned bright red, and her tone became a little aggrieved: "The mourning family knows." ”

The feast begins at the beginning of the Shen period, when the lanterns are on.

Many former royal relatives in Beijing were present, and they all wanted to use the opportunity of the Queen Mother's birthday to show the influence of the former royal family to the outside world!

Although the emperor is gone, although the Ming Dynasty is already in the past!

However, these old men of the former dynasty are still there!

They are also active in various places such as politics and business, making it impossible to ignore!

During the banquet, the Queen Mother seemed a little absent-minded, although she stepped forward to toast and congratulated an endless stream of people, but the Queen Mother only nodded slightly and did not raise her hand.

On the contrary, the little emperor Zhu Cilin and the various elders, in this banquet was very happy, just halfway through the banquet, some people were already drunk and unconscious.

"Find someone to take care of the emperor, I'm tired of mourning, so I'll go to rest first." Zhang Yan really didn't want to get involved here, so she found a reason casually, got up and left, no longer paying attention to the relatives of the former emperor who had fallen into the wine cellar.

The queen mother who returned to the dormitory did not see any emotion on her face, and after removing her makeup and gorgeous clothes, the queen mother waved her hand to dismiss the palace maids, and sat alone in the dormitory, facing the bronze mirror, silently in a daze.

The beauty in the bronze mirror is stunning, which can be called peerless, but at this moment it is full of grievances and unwilling looks.

After a while, misty tears overflowed, flowing down his cheeks, falling on Luo's skirt one by one, wetting a piece.

Zhang Yan couldn't figure out why she became so cheap?

For a man who killed his husband and destroyed the Ming Dynasty with his own hands, he has such a strong longing and love.

A feeling that is almost irrepressible.

"The Queen Mother." Mama Chen's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Uh, what. What's up? Zhang Yan hurriedly wiped away her tears with a brocade hand, and her tone was as calm and solemn as possible.

"The Archon has arrived." (End of chapter)
