Chapter 413: Ask for help

Li Wei first set an example, drafting a list of those to be laid off, and then doing ideological work one by one, not only giving money, but also giving other benefits.
Li Wei took the lead, and the Sixth House had to follow suit. The princess Jinggui was very upset with Li Wei's practice. She once complained to the people around her: "Just relying on thrift in a few palaces and saving a few, in the end, life is not as good as that of ordinary people."
"The queen mother is also angry with her little family, and it is not the beginning of the founding of the country. Would she still want to imitate the original empress Xiaoci Gao? She is afraid that it is not worthy to give the empress Xiaoci Gao."
Princess Jinggui frowned and said: "Don't be sore, go and draft the list to me, so I can pass it to her, these cut scenes are always going to go, no matter what her intentions are, our loyalty I want to keep up. Anyway, I have to respect her as the queen mother."
Yunfang has always been worthless for her master. The master is the one who has been with the first emperor for the longest time. He gave birth to a prince and a princess. The Li family has nothing to do, but is dependent on the first queen’s sister, who belongs to the prince. The adoptive mother took all the benefits, which was too unfair. If Empress Sheng was still there, this kind of bias would never be allowed to happen.
It didn't take long for Princess Qi's mother and son's affairs to pass. Everyone had already experienced the methods of this young queen mother and never dared to make a moth. Even if he is dissatisfied, he can only complain in private.
As the day went on, various names were drawn up to show Li Wei. Li Wei feared that others would be puzzled and misunderstood, and other things would come out of Li Wei's actions, so he brought the people on the list to the Chongqing Palace one after another, conveying his meaning one by one, and ask them for understanding. What these people say is that there are also elderly people who have served in the palace for three to five years, and more have more than ten or twenty years. Li Wei promised to pay a settlement fee based on the years of service of these people.
Li Wei tried his best to appease these people, hoping that this matter can go through smoothly, and there will be no troubles, so that with the efforts of all parties, most of the palace maids and even the guards who were asked to leave the palace did not complain.
I have been busy with this matter for several days. When I recovered, Governor Li’s affairs had been led by Dali Temple, and a series of cases involving Li Shi’s corruption and persecution of Li Shi had begun to be strictly investigated.
In the absence of a conviction, Li Shi was detained at home by the prisoner accused and not allowed to walk around at will. Then Li Shi got into such a big disaster, most of the official position could not be kept. The two brothers Li Shao and Li Yi served as officials in the dynasty for decades, but they also raised a lot of protégés and aides, and they had a complicated relationship. But the empress dowager was reluctant to intervene in this matter, and the regent was taking the lead. There were signs of rectifying the bureaucracy by this matter. Those who depended on in the past saw the signs of something wrong and did not dare to offer help rashly.
Li Shichengri was not a concubine at home, he was just shutting himself up in the room to get angry. Mrs. Wen couldn't help but get angry when she saw it, and she often complained to Li Shao: "I used to be the head of the state, but now the emperor is a grandson, so he still suffers from such idleness, and it doesn't make people feel aggrieved.
Li Shao has been up and down in officialdom for decades, and seeing things more clearly than a woman, he said: "Our Li family has a big cause, and others only have jealousy. Other than that, previously we had three officials in both rooms at the same time. Now my brother and I have both resigned, and there are two other people who have real power. They are not to be jealous, so there are no longer a few who secretly stumble."
Mrs. Wen felt sorry for her son and couldn't help but say to her husband: "Should we just let it go? The way we should run is still to run. We can't let our Dalang be jailed later?"
Li Shao naturally felt sorry for his son, and said after a long silence: "The key is still with the prince, depending on what the prince said."
Mrs. Wen rolled her eyes a few times and whispered, "Then please let the prince go through the house."
"At this critical juncture, I'm afraid that the prince refuses to come. Besides, it's better to ask someone to do the job. It's better to visit in person." Li Shao hesitated and finally made a decision: "You have something to prepare, and I will visit the regent."
Mrs. Wen heard that she was worried and asked to prepare.
It was too late to prepare the greeting. In the afternoon of the next day, Li Shaobei took a chair and went to Prince Shen's Mansion.
Seeing that it was Shang Shufu's sedan chair, the servant at the gatehouse of the palace didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly welcomed Li Shao into the palace, accompanied by the chief of the palace.
"Master Li, please come to Linfeng Pavilion to rest for a while, and wait for the prince to return home."
"The prince hasn't come back yet?"
The Chief of the Palace, Chief Ling, said with a smile: "The prince is busy with official duties recently and often returns late at night. If the prince knows that Master Li is visiting, he might come back early."
Li Shao thought, but he didn't inform in advance, did he have to wait until late at night? When a father cherishes his son, he is reluctant to suffer for his son. Even if he waits until midnight, as long as he can say a few words in front of the regent, it is worthwhile to Li Shao.
Manager Ling invited Li Shao into the house to rest, he was ordered to have tea and refreshments, and a little was left to wait on him. After a few words with him, he went to work on his own.
Manager Ling came out of the Linfeng Pavilion and asked people to invite the Long History of the Royal Palace. After a long time, the Long History finally came over: "Old Xie, Master Shang Shu came to visit the prince, the prince knew in advance?"
Xie Changshi thought about it carefully, and Fang shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no such thing."
"The Lord Shangshu came here uninvited, and the prince doesn't know when he will be back. If you don't want to send someone and the prince's ward, please come back and see Lord Li."
Xie Changshi said: "It should be so."
At that time, Director Ling ordered to go down. At that time, Zhao Qian was still busy in the office of the household department. He suddenly saw his family come to report that Li Shao was waiting for him at home. Zhao Qian immediately knew what Li Shao was here for, and about Li Shi. He listens to the Queen Mother, and now he has made it clear that he should handle it impartially. If he rashly sees Li Shao, it seems a little inappropriate. After thinking for a while, he told his family: "You go back and tell Master Shangshu, saying that I am busy with business these days. I am afraid that I can't go back today, so please go back. If you have anything to help, please leave a message. I will handle it at my discretion."
Li Shao waited for nearly an hour in Shenwang's Mansion and didn't see Zhao Qian's figure. Later, he finally waited for a little who served by Zhao Qian's side to send a message.
When Li Shao heard that Zhao Qian was not coming back, he was very angry, but no matter how he said that Zhao Qian was also the regent, he had to hesitate to have an attack in the palace, so he had to say, "The governor's affairs are still "Wang the prince see clearly" and went back.
When Mrs. Wen saw her husband leaving empty-handed, she couldn't help crying: "Could it be that there is really no way out. The Queen Mother's path is not available, and the prince is also not seen there. Is it just sitting and waiting for death?"
"Otherwise, what else? Everyone asks for more blessings." Li Shao simply let it go.
