The Grand Princess

The two arrived at the palace gate together, and as soon as they entered the palace, everyone looked at them.

Everyone knows that Pei Wenxuan had a trouble yesterday, and since Li Rong came out of the Beiyan Pagoda today, he would be put to an end by the Qin family.

It's just that they don't know how this young princess, who has just entered the court, will end this matter.

Everyone had different thoughts and waited in the court all morning, but throughout the morning, neither Li Rong nor Pei Wenxuan mentioned it.

After waiting for the next dynasty, Li Rong said goodbye to Pei Wen, and then he listened to Li Ming's summons and followed Li Ming to the Imperial Study Room.

After arriving at the Yushufang, Li Ming didn't go around the corner, and said directly: "Now that Pei Wenxuan is back, the case in your hand is almost checked, right?"

"Yes."

Li Rong respectfully said: "Almost cleared it out."

"Talk about it." Li Ming took the pen and ink and began to review the notes. Li Rong stood by Li Ming and quickly said the cause and effect: "The family members want to compete with Master Xiao for military merit in the northwest. Master Xiao does not Feeling active, I planned to start from the people next to him, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to deter Master Xiao. So I went to the Qin family, and sent news from the top to the bottom that it was troublesome to find the Qin family. After looking for a long time, I only found that there was a problem in the battle in Huangping County. In order to complete the task, the man tore the explanation behind the marching log, and then passed it to the Ministry of Justice and Yushitai. After seeing the marching log, Wen Ping of Yushitai guessed a cause and effect, forged evidence to intimidate witnesses, and finally took the Qin family. The case was settled."

Li Ming frowned when Li Rong said, "They are so bold!"

"Later, after the children intervened, they killed all the witnesses in order to prevent them from investigating the case."

"Then what happened in Huangping County?" Li Ming was rather impatient. "Three thousand soldiers fight three thousand soldiers, or garrison. If it is like that, the Ministry of War will not pursue it?"

There were many large and small battles on the battlefield. The small-scale battles in Huangping County were just a word in Li Ming’s account. Now that he understands what happened, he can’t help saying: “Qin Feng is too Incompetent."

"That's not the case," Li Rong walked to Li Ming's side, raised his hand to grab the ink stick, and grinded Li Ming, "In the beginning, the Huangping County incident involved military pay."

Li Rong talked aside the origins of Huangping County. Li Ming yelled after hearing this, "They are impatient! What is the military salary, do they dare to move?!"

"Father is right," Li Rong said, comforting, "Such a big case, we really can't indulge at will."

When Li Rong said this, Li Ming had hesitated. He was silent for a while, and then thought about Li Rong's intentions before saying: "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you speak up earlier?"

"Father, my son knows it's the same thing, but in the end, I still have to listen to my father's arrangements. I just went up early and my son didn't dare to speak at will."

Li Rong spoke respectfully and showed his obedience to Li Ming all the time. Li Ming felt relieved when he heard that Li Rong put his ideas first, and said: "Then what do you think? arrangement?"

"Children all listen to the father."

"Tell me," Li Ming lowered his head, "I forgive you not guilty."

"Father," Li Rong did not directly answer Li Ming, but reminded him, "This time, the children wanted to be punished severely. All the people on the list of children were punished together, and they reached the shocking family. The purpose is. But in this way, will the family be forced to jump the wall in a hurry?"

Li Rong said, lowering her eyes: "For the family, the most important card is nothing more than their own army. With their current strength, if they are pressing, they will go to the harem to petition together. An imperial decree, the position of Emperor Father, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve."

While Li Rong said, she secretly looked at Li Ming's expression. Seeing Li Ming listened to her, she just frowned. Li Rong continued to analyze with confidence: "And for aristocratic families, ask the queen dowager to destroy the emperor. Lixinjun, paying money and food, may be calculated later, each family has its own calculation, so the family will not be forced to share, and they are not willing to change the emperor hastily. Now we need to With this degree of control, how to prevent the aristocratic family from being irritated and go to a dead end, without feeling that the Supervisory Department is meaningless, this is what the father needs to consider most."

Li Ming listened to Li Rong's words, she analyzed well.

He and the aristocratic family were in a delicate balance. The aristocratic family did not want to change emperors, nor did they want to be involved in troubled times, so even if they had heavy soldiers in their hands, they had to take Li Ming into consideration.

The aristocratic family has military strength in their hands, but more often they have to look at the face of the court. It is not a last resort, and no one wants to be a rebel.

After thinking for a while, Li Ming finally said, "You decide. The military payment case must be severely punished, and the Qin case..."

Li Ming hesitated for a while. Before he could speak, he listened to Li Rong's words: "Solve it privately."

"They killed the witnesses. This matter was too much. If they were not dealt with, they would have lost their dignity. But if they were dealt with seriously, there were too many officials involved in the Qin case. Solving it directly in private will not only deter other officials, but also be regarded as a good gesture, and will not be checked up."

"Just do as you say."

Li Ming responded and discussed the details with Li Rong before finally letting Li Rong go back.

When Li Rong went out, Pei Wenxuan had already reported that a bunch of zhezi was sitting in the carriage, looking at the zhezi quietly. Li Rong got into the carriage, looked him up and down, and said with some doubts: "Why are you doing things here?"

"The old things in Yushitai are all staring at me," Pei Wenxuan held up a folder in one hand and looked through it, rejected the teacup in the other hand, and said casually, "It makes people flustered. All are pointing to Your Highness, I will go back again."

"Oh, going back home during office hours, the more you study now, the more capable you are?" Li Rong smiled, "What reason did you come back with?"

"Simple," Pei Wenxuan raised his head to look at Li Rong with a smile, "I said the princess missed me, no one dare to stop."

Hearing this, Li Rong almost spewed a sip of tea.

When Pei Wenxuan was in Yushitai, he spent more time in the government office every day than anyone else in order to build a good relationship with other officials and perform his duties, just to behave and make his boss happy.

The look of this old fried dough stick now makes Li Rong a little sorrowful: "You weren't like this before."

"People are young and ignorant," Pei Wenxuan turned around to look at the paper, sneered, "Anyway, it's a group of dying ghosts. What's the use of dealing with each other now? Doctor Yushi is the third master of Shangguan family, as long as you and The Shangguan’s family reconciles, and when the time comes, help me with a few words," Pei Wenxuan cast a wink, "I rely on you for my promotion."

"I listen to you," Li Rong brought the tea cup from the side and said with a smile, "Are you planning to have soft rice?"

"So much sacrifice, not even soft food," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "His Royal Highness is too stubborn."

Li Rong was amused by Pei Wenxuan. She covered half of her face with a fan. She couldn't stop at all. She just said: "Good, good, this soft rice is rewarded by the palace. You do it well, do it well," Li Rong raised his hand. Poke Pei Wenxuan's shoulder with a small fan lightly: "My palace will promote you."

Pei Wenxuan pursed his lips and smiled, and his eyes fell on Li Rong's hand holding the fan. He smiled but said, "If you don't get promoted, it's not impossible."

Li Rong raised his eyebrows, Pei Wenxuan paused, and seemed to feel bad, coughed slightly, turned his head and said, "Your Majesty agrees with your idea?"

"He thought so too."

Li Rong was attracted by Pei Wenxuan's question, and said indifferently: "He doesn't have the ability, he really drove the family to an end."

Pei Wenxuan nodded, and only said: "To rectify the family, we still have to wait for the imperial examination to reopen this year and bring in some people."

Hearing this, Li Rong shook his fan. Pei Wenxuan saw that she hadn't responded. After looking at him, Li Rong smiled flatly when he met his inquiring gaze, saying: "They are all people, from a poor family. go with."

Li Rong's words were already euphemistic, but Pei Wenxuan knew in his heart that Li Rong didn't point his nose directly and cursed, "We know our honor and disgrace".

In Li Rong's heart, the family only made mistakes, and the poor family was just a tool to correct the family's mistakes. In her bones, she didn't really support the poor family.

When he realized this, Pei Wenxuan felt unhappy for a moment, but he didn't want to argue with Li Rong on this matter, so he scratched the problem and said with a smile: "Have you wiped the perfume? Minister help?"

"Take a good look at your book." Li Rong raised her chin, then turned her head, and muttered "old-fashioned" in a low voice.

Pei Wenxuan didn't hear Li Rong's words clearly, but his instinct was not a good thing. He raised his head and frowned, "What did you say?"

"Huh?" Li Rong smiled, "Did I say something?"

Pei Wenxuan was speechless. After he was silent for a while, he decided not to care about Li Rong, so he lowered his head and looked at Zhezi again.

The two returned to the princess mansion. As soon as Li Rong lifted the curtain of the car, he saw Xun Chuan waiting at the door. Li Rong stepped off the carriage, and Xun Chuan greeted him.

"Your Highness."

Li Rong knew what she wanted to ask, so she only said, "Go in and talk."

Xun Chuan responded and followed Li Rong into the room. After entering the room, Pei Wenxuan avoided suspicion and went back to the study. Li Rong sat at the table with Xun Chuan, and Xun Chuan knelt down in front of Li Rong, eyes lowered.

Li Rong said slowly: "Just ask what you want."

"My subordinates heard today that His Highness did not mention anything related to the Qin case in the early dynasty."

Xun Chuan's voice was a little dumb, and it seemed to be very difficult to ask: "His Royal Highness...are you going to check it?"
