The snow fell quietly all night, and when the next day came, the sky was still fine snow.
The maid brought his soft and wide fox fur cloak for him to put on. She wore thick sheepskin boots on her feet. She wore a snow cap and went out of the house.
When I left the door at the same time as usual, it was still dark outside, and there was not even a trace of light in the east, only the snow falling quietly.
Zhao Qian was sitting in the warm sedan chair, and the people outside were walking towards the palace with lanterns.
People who got up early at this time usually started to move out, but because it was extremely cold today and it was snowing, everyone was still in the warm bed.
Finally, when he reached the place, Zhao Qian got off the sedan chair and Baofu handed Zhao Qian a hand stove, but Zhao Qian said, "I don't need this." He pulled his clothes and strode towards the house over there.
The wind blowing was like a knife cut, but at such a short distance, his body was already a bit stiff.
When the court room arrived, other ministers also rushed over. Du Yu was already sitting there drinking tea, and seeing Zhao Qian hurriedly got up and walked over and bowed to him.
"It's so cold today."
"Yes, this winter has been dry. I hope this snow will last longer. It's just that the weather changes suddenly and I don't know how many patients will be added."
The two of them didn't talk about business matters, so they chatted casually. At this time Zhang Du and a group of military officers also came in, because everyone had a prejudice against Zhao Qian about what happened yesterday, and now it seems that they didn't see each other, and they went to another place without even saying hello.
Zhao Qian didn't think there was anything, but Du Yu comforted him: "Master, don't go to your heart."
Zhao Qian smiled helplessly.
In the early days, everyone still had to streamline the army and reduce military expenditures. The two sides were still at a stalemate. Fu Guang couldn't pass it and shouted a few words, but this little emperor really has no majesty. No one took him at heart. on.
After the early dynasty ended, Zhao Qian didn't go back to his usual place of affairs, but went to the Ministry of Households first, asked relevant personnel about the progress of a few things, and then went to the Ministry of War. All the officials of the Ministry of Defense were convened for a meeting lasting nearly two hours to explain in detail their intentions and future measures.
The Ministry of Defense has the power, and this time is also the one who jumped the most fiercely. After the meeting, I was still extremely dissatisfied. Zhao Qian said helplessly: "What should be said, this king has already said very clearly. After the Chinese New Year, I will leave for a trip to the northwest camp to convey these words."
After dealing with these bad things, Zhao Qian felt a little exhausted. After eating something halfway, he felt tired and found a place to rest for a while. Not long after lying down, someone called back and asked for instructions.
I have been busy for a whole day, and when I was free, it was already early in the afternoon. By this time, it was almost dark. The snow outside still showed no sign of stopping. There is a thick layer of snow on the houses and trees, and there is only one color between the sky and the earth.
It's time to return to the house, but at this time, he still thinks of the woman. He hasn't been to see her these days, and I don't know how she is. I heard that the nine princesses are sick, but I don't know if it is better.
Zhao Qian looked at the flying snow flakes and hesitated, until the attendant held an umbrella and walked towards him: "Master, the sedan chair is already waiting outside, please get on the sedan chair."
Zhao Qian followed the attendant without speaking, and walked outside. The attendant kept holding the umbrella for him. After getting on the sedan chair, he said to the sedan chair at the moment the curtain was lowered: "Go to Chongqing Palace."
The bearer agreed and went all the way north.
In the first year of Xikang, Zhao Qian was given the right to ride a sedan chair in the inner court.
Obviously he had decided to let go, but he still couldn't be determined for a few days, and came to her palace gate again. Looking at the white snow piled up on the palace wall, it became more and more white in this dim sky.
He walked toward that door, without any hesitation at this moment.
After taking some medicine, Shujia finally fell asleep, and Li Wei asked the court lady to guard her.
As soon as she walked to the door, she heard someone report: "Thanks to the Queen Mother, the regent is here."
he came. Li Wei was still a little surprised. Since the fallout, the two have been deadlocked for a long time and haven't seen each other.
Li Wei was hesitating to see him, but he heard his footsteps today. She stood at the door and did not move, the palace maid outside had lifted the curtain.
"Lord, please come in!"
Li Wei stepped back subconsciously, and the curtain moved slightly, and he saw a tall figure walking in.
He stood up in front of him and her: "Please peace of mind, Queen Mother."
Li Wei responded indifferently: "The cold and cold prince is interested." He said that he walked to other rooms.
Zhao Qian continued: "I heard that the nine princesses are ill, let me see if she is better."
Li Wei said: "She just fell asleep after taking the medicine, and she is better. Thank you for your concern."
Polite and indifferent. Li Wei will only respond to him in these two ways.
"Since she is already asleep, I can't bother me either." Zhao Qian said, but followed Li Wei into another room.
The lights were already lit in the room, all the candles on the floor-to-ceiling candlesticks were lit, and the room was bright. Li Wei likes the bright feeling in the room, and hates the drowsy light, she feels depressed.
Li Wei sat down in the place where she usually sits. She lowered her head, her expression in the shadows, no one could see clearly.
Zhao Qian took care of himself and sat on the opposite chair. He didn't treat himself as an outsider. After sitting down, what should he say after sitting down? Zhao Qian naturally remembered what happened yesterday and said by the way, "I heard that those The veteran asked you to come out to be fair for them?"
Li Wei said lightly: "I am on your side in this matter."
Zhao Qian smiled: "At least in this matter, we are connected."
Li Wei didn't respond to him, but stared at the beating candlelight, thinking about it for himself.
"After the new year, I plan to go to the Northwest Camp. Some truths may not make sense until they are told in person."
When Li Wei heard that, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Qian: "You moved someone's cheese, I'm afraid someone will not follow it. It might be dangerous to go."
"Why, are you caring about me?" Zhao Qian seemed a little pleased.
"I...I'm just seeking truth from facts. You decide what you want." Li Wei was as alienated as ever, and did not make eye contact with Zhao Qian.
"There is no turning back arrow in the bow. This step is taken out, and it cannot be recovered. The time left for us may not be much." Zhao Qian said again: "I wanted you to come forward to preside over these things. I think it’s more appropriate to memorize the infamy, don’t bother you."
The two were talking. I don't know who said outside, "Girl five is back." Li Wei heard it and said loudly: "Please come in, girl five!"
Zhao Qian looked a little embarrassed. The fifth girl from the Li family asked him to paint, and he forgot about it. If the fifth girl spoke again, how could he tell others?
Soon, Li Xing came in with a curtain, and at a glance she saw Zhao Qian sitting by the east wall and Li Wei sitting in the north.
