Chapter 436

"This dynasty has gone through a hundred years. From the poverty and weakness at the beginning of the state Dynasty and the determined development of several monarchs, the life of the people of Daqi has gradually become happy. There was also a prosperous period of nearly 50 years from the year of Qiande to Yongding. It's just that Xikang had a good life in the past few years. How come people's lives have gone back and forth in recent years? "

Li Wei asked Lu Caiping, who was standing beside him.

Lu Caiping used to be a woman who was raised in her boudoir and did not care about the world. Occasionally, she wrote a few verses to talk about the disease. However, after several years in the countryside, she really realized the hardships of the people and the helplessness of the people.

"Empress dowager, don't you know that it is the wars in recent years, the successive famine and the taxes on the people that are dragging down this dynasty. People only want to live a stable life, but now stability has become a luxury. "

Li Wei said: "I never knew that the people were poor, but the imperial court had no money. Since the tenth year of Xikang, the instability in the border areas and several foreign wars have consumed almost all of the wealth accumulated in those decades. It's time for this country to change. "

Lu Caiping said with a smile: "it is rare that the Empress Dowager has such a heart and mind. It is said that the Empress Dowager has built a medical department and a medical school, which are good things for the country and the people. "

"But that's not enough. Only by vigorously developing agriculture and commerce, developing handicraft industry and engaging in science and technology can this dynasty be saved. Now the two emperors of the Han Dynasty followed suit. The common people need to cultivate their health and raise their interest. The development of production is the right way, and corresponding policies should be introduced. "

Li Wei valued Lu Caiping's knowledge, so he asked her to stay with her to draft various documents for her, to be her adviser, and to act as a woman's history beside Li Wei. Li Wei also gave her the title of being a lady of Chongwen, enjoying purple embroidered Yan clothes and robes, and freely entering and leaving the imperial court.

When this plan was just issued, it was fiercely opposed by the old ministers in the cabinet.

"The empress dowager, that Lu's wife is immoral and can't bear the great responsibility. Please think it over again."

Li Wei would like to clap her hands for Caiping's original behavior. She calmly responded, "this is what I mean. What has been decided is that you should not oppose it."

"The empress dowager, Lu's moral character is corrupt, and the influence is far-reaching. If you reuse her, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction between the government and the public, so please take it back. " Several old ministers headed by Zheng Guangming have kowtowed to Li Wei.

Li Wei turned a blind eye and said: "I put great importance to Chongwen's wife to appreciate her talent. No matter how bad her moral character is, you should not follow suit. No one is allowed to talk about it any more! " Li Wei's face was angry, rarely angry in front of ministers.

Seeing that the persuasion was invalid, they turned to Du Yu.

"Lord Shoufu, why does the Empress Dowager put a lady who has lost her virtue seriously? What Lu has done is disgraceful."

Seeing that they were all disheartened, Du Yu said, "the Empress Dowager may have valued Lu's talent. It is said that the woman's writing is good, and the Empress Dowager can see it."

"It's not a woman's duty to write a good article. The Empress Dowager's move is hard to guess."

Du Yu said with a smile: "what can't be guessed? The lady Lu was famous only a few years ago. Everyone has heard of it. The Empress Dowager wants to attract such talents to give her advice. "

Du Yu's words shocked all of you. Liao Qi said, "does the Empress Dowager want to seize power?"

Some people also said, "it's a big taboo for women to mess with the court guidelines. It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the state Dynasty, but there has never been such a thing. It is really inappropriate. "

Du Yu said: "it's hard to say whether it's suitable or not. The Empress Dowager is young. I'm afraid that she has other thoughts. It's normal. In the early years, we had people who borrowed money from the Li family, but the Li family couldn't pick out anything else to avoid the limelight. Let's take a look at the future. It's not so easy for her to take power as a little girl. "

Li Wei's desire to reuse Lu Caiping is not a matter of saying. She let Lu Caiping enter the Chongwen library and freely read the books in it. She even asked her to teach the princesses to read and help her draft some intentions.

Some time has passed, anyone can see Li Wei's dependence on Lu Caiping.

Li Wei has not yet extended his hand to the government affairs of the former dynasty, and the old ministers of the cabinet dare not do anything about it. We're all in peace.

At the beginning of October, a vicious letter came out of the Shangshu mansion. Li Yi had been in bed for several months and finally died.

Li Wei had to go home to mourn for the bad news.

Li Wei, Li Xing and other brothers and sisters put on their filial piety clothes and mourned together in front of the coffin. They all looked sad, but Li Xing cried the most.

Li Shao also praised Li Xing's filial piety when he saw this, and comforted Li Xing when Li Wei came down.

However, Li Xing only knew in his heart that her pain was like that. Now that her father is filial, after three years, I'm afraid that the Regent will not wait for her.

Funeral ceremony has its own rules and regulations. Her six brothers who traveled far away are afraid that they can't come back to send the last leg for her father. As the empress dowager, she has rules and regulations that oppress her. She didn't have the chance to send a funeral. However, Li Wei regarded these rules and regulations as nonsense. She participated in the whole process from small funeral, large funeral to funeral. Speech officer a few words of persuasion, was Li Wei a sharp mouth scolded a pass, let speech officer no longer dare to talk.Today's Li Wei is a double filial piety. She only wears plain clothes and eats plain food in Chongqing palace. In the middle of October, she received a second letter from Zhao Qian, with a painting of his own, which was about the Bailudong Academy in Lushan.

The letter described Zhao Qian's experiences all the way, among which there was no lack of love for Li Wei. Li Wei was frightened to burn the letter on the spot, but left the painting, quietly received in the study, often take out to watch.

Bailudong academy is the place where Liuge once studied and studied. It is also the place where she once participated in flood fighting and rescue reports, and the place where she and Zhao Qian met. In Lushan, he helped himself to keep her from being buried by a sudden debris flow.

LAN Hui came in with tea and saw Li Wei looking at the painting. LAN Hui asked curiously, "empress dowager, where is this painting? It's really beautiful."

"White Deer Cave." For Li Wei, there are too many memories for her.

LAN Hui looked sideways for a time, only thought the painting was good. But seeing the Empress Dowager's appreciation every day, she couldn't help but ask, "who wrote this painting?"

Li Wei didn't answer. He just asked for tea.
