When Li Rong heard this, he knew that Pei Wenxuan was asking Hua Le. She smiled nonchalantly: "Just scratch it, where can I really let her hit?"

Pei Wenxuan didn't say a word. He looked at her. After a while, he lowered his head and kissed her wound gently.

The kiss made Li Rong tremble, and she couldn't help taking a step back.

As soon as she retired, Pei Wenxuan followed and pressed her against the door. His lips touched her face and landed on her lips.

He took her by the waist, wishing to rub people in the blood. Li Rong sensed his strength, pushed him gently, and said vaguely, "I still have to enter the palace."

Pei Wenxuan knew what she meant. As long as the Zhezi arrived in the palace, she had to enter the palace to find Li Ming. If there were any traces left at this time, she would not be clear at that time.

So he straightened up, hugged the person in his arms, took a deep breath and said, "You are wronged."

"What kind of grievance is this?" Li Rong laughed. She raised her hand and poked Pei Wenxuan on the shoulder. "I thought you wanted to ask Su Rongqing?"

Hearing Su Rongqing's name, Pei Wenxuan snorted coldly, lowered his head and kissed her fiercely, "Dare to say?"

"When I see you, it smells strange."

"What kind of nose do you have?" Li Rong laughed out loud. "You can smell it outside the carriage?"

It's not surprising that she can smell it up close by Su Rongqing, but Pei Wenxuan can smell it as soon as she meets.

But Pei Wenxuan has a keen sense of smell so far, she is not surprised, after all, Pei Wenxuan is good at perfume, if he is not keen on smell, she will not learn this.

Pei Wenxuan kept his face blank and did not speak. Li Rong knew that he was a little angry, so she raised her hand to hook his neck, hung her whole body on him, and explained: "I was pretending to sleep on the carriage, and he covered me with a piece of clothing. ," She said, with a sad face, leaning against Pei Wenxuan's chest, "Brother Pei, I am dirty, what should I do?"

Pei Wenxuan was amused by her, and bowed his head and kissed her: "Dirty? Come, brother will wash you up."

The two laughed and squatted for a moment. From the door to the bed, Pei Wenxuan knew that news from the palace would come, and did not do too much. At the end of the day, he also took off his coat and his clothes were intact. Li Rong was bent over. He leaned on his chest, as if everyone was scattered.

Pei Wenxuan got up to get water and wiped her sweat. She didn't sweat much. After a while, it was no different from usual.

Pei Wenxuan lay on her side, raised his hand and stroked her arm, making her feel like he was still by his side. He thought about it, "What is Su Rongqing going to do with you?"

"He is afraid that Hua Le will suffer," Li Rong lazily said, "You can guess that I'm counting people. After all, he has been with me for so long, can't he guess?"

Pei Wenxuan's movements slowed down, but before Li Rong noticed it, he continued to stroke her hair and said calmly: "He is afraid that you will suffer a loss under Roufei and Huale? They have worked so hard to treat you. Speaking of the Supervision Department, I am afraid that there is still a meaning of trying to find a way to get you to kill Chen Houshao with the prince. No one feels at ease if you fall into their hands."

Li Rong did not speak, she closed her eyes, Pei Wenxuan lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I wanted to go there immediately, but I was afraid that it would disturb your layout, so I arranged everything..."

"You did very well."

Li Rong raised his hand to hold his hand, and moved the person forward a little bit, and the whole person was nestled in his arms: "You don't need to explain this to me, what you do is what I want."

Pei Wenxuan didn't say a word, and Li Rong leaned against him, giving him great comfort.

"I didn't go there immediately," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "I feel guilty."

Li Rong stretched out her hand to wrap his waist.

She actually knew that he was not only guilty, but also afraid.

I am afraid that I will be one step late, I am afraid that I am not as good as Su Rongqing.

But she didn't know how to persuade, because there was a lot of truth, but most people in this world understand the truth better than anyone else, but all wounds can only be changed by events and experiences.

She didn't speak, she held Pei Wenxuan, and Pei Wenxuan thought for a while. Knowing that it would be hypocritical to talk about this, she changed the topic and asked: "Did you talk to him?"

"I asked him if he could stop."

Li Rong sighed: "The most important thing for him to do this is to believe in Chuan'er. If he can assist Chuan'er with us, it will be much easier."

"What does he say?"

Pei Wenxuan knew the answer long ago and asked casually.

"Naturally it is not allowed," Li Rong replied lazily. "He said that all monarchs will not let go of the family. He has no way to choose."

"The best way for him is to assist King Su. King Su was born in a humble family, and Xiao Su has little ability. After ascending to the throne, he must depend on the family. He is only eleven years old now, and he will be thirteen after two years. When the time comes, I will go to mother to keep the baby, and then see if he listens. If he is obedient, stay, if he doesn't, wait until the baby is born and then change to a milk doll."

Li Rong said calmly, "The abacus is very good."

Pei Wenxuan heard these words and nodded: "That doesn't have to be forced. He is different from us and has no choice."

"Where is there no choice?" Li Rong laughed, "It's just reluctant to bear the benefits in his hands."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "His Royal Highness, the Su clan is different from the Shangguan clan Pei clan. The Shangguan clan is the last of the eight surnames, and the Pei clan is also a poor family. Both rely on the imperial family. Nowadays, we don’t have too many choices. Whether it’s changing the prince or accepting the decree, the loss is almost the same. But the Su clan is different. It is the leader of the Jiangnan family. In these century-old families, let alone the replacement of the prince, so many hundreds of years. Here, even the change of dynasties has never hurt the bones."

"So?" Although Li Rong asked, she knew what Pei Wenxuan was talking about. She gave a wry smile, "Regardless of whether Su Rongqing is fighting or not, most of the Su clan and other clans will not retreat. Rather than let Chuan When you reach the throne, it’s better to abolish Chuan’er first, so as not to have more losses, right?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. Li Rong turned to look at him, with a smile but a smile: "You are very empathetic, don't you dislike him? What kind of good things do you say to him every day?"

"I don't like him," Pei Wenxuan smiled mildly, and raised his hand to comb her forehead hair. "But I hope your Highness feels that many people in this world like you."

He wanted Li Rong to see a better and warmer world, but he didn't want her to think about everything extremely extreme.

Too many people in this world taught her how to try to figure out others with malice, but he wanted to teach her to open her eyes to find all the possible beauty in this world.

Even if this person is Su Rongqing.

Li Rong knew what he meant, she stretched out her hand and held Pei Wenxuan, lazily acting like a baby in his arms.

"I know Brother Pei is the best."

Pei Wenxuan laughed, looked at the girl in front of him who was becoming more and more coquettish, bowed his head and kissed her: "It's fine if you know."

As soon as the voice fell, Jinglan's voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness, there is news from the palace. Your Majesty has already seen Zhezi, and the Empress Empress rushed over to make a noise."

When Li Rong heard this, she hurriedly got up and told Jinglan: "Get the carriage, and I will go to the palace."

With that, Pei Wenxuan also stood up, he helped her tidy up the clothes, Li Rong quickly dressed up, and then turned to tell him: "Don't stay in the princess mansion for a long time, go back."

Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, and replied, "I see."

Seeing that he seemed to be unhappy, Li Rong put on her feet and kissed her, which counted as comfort, took her own fan, and stepped out.

As soon as he got out of the room, Li Rong immediately accepted the sweet and pretty in front of Pei Wenxuan, and led the people out, and asked Jinglan as he went forward: "What did the empress do you ask?"

"Say," Jinglan followed Li Rong, lifted the carriage curtain to let Li Rong inside, and said in a low voice, "The empress has passed for you, and I am afraid that she will make a quarrel in the palace."

Li Rong nodded and didn't say much. Her mother was extremely tough when she encountered their siblings.

Li Rong took the small mirror, looked at the wound on her face, and hurried into the palace.

Li Ming didn't expect that Li Rong would enter the palace at night, and he was arguing with Shangguanyue. Hearing Li Rong came, Shangguanyue should react first. She sniffed and pretended to be calm and said: "Let your highness come first."

Li Rong was brewing outside for a while, and then walked in with five points of anger and five points of grievance.

When Shangguanyue saw Li Rong entering, she first saw the blood stains on her face. She couldn't bear it, turned her head to look at Li Ming, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, take a look at Rong'er's face! You! Dare to say nothing is wrong?!"

Li Ming froze for a while when seeing the blood marks on Li Rong's face. Li Rong knew that her mother was in trouble. She knelt down and said respectfully: "I have seen my father."

"Pingle, what is wrong with you entering the palace so late?"

Li Ming pretended to be ignorant of the previous events and kept silent. Li Rong looked calm and said indifferently: "The son of the minister entered the palace to discuss with his father about the current investigation by the inspector."

Li Ming was silent for a moment. He thought that Li Rong would still come in crying. He didn't expect Li Rong to be so steady. After a while, he slowly said: "Then... Queen, please step back first, I am with Pingle Let’s talk, you will be fair to Pingle."

Shangguanyue glanced at Li Rong and then at the emperor. She saw that Li Rong didn't want her appearance, so she didn't stop, sniffed, got up and left.

When Shangguanyue left, Li Ming hurried forward, helped Li Rong and said, "Pingle, what's wrong with you, please talk to the emperor."

"Father should have heard about it," Li Rong restrained his anger and raised his eyes. "Today Hua Le took people to my mansion and clashed with the soldiers of the children's mansion. They beat me in public, and the children have recuperated until now. It just came over, and I entered the palace."

"Hua Le actually treats you like this?" Li Ming pretended to be angry, "I will call her over and scold her well."

"Father," Li Rong raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly, "The matter of the son is a trifle. The son is entering the palace now, and it is not for such a thing. The son is here because he is worried. If brother Cheng acted like this I'm afraid that the Supervisory Department will not be able to keep it."

When Li Ming heard Li Rong's words, he paused, and then slowly said, "You can't keep it, what do you mean?

"Father, Hua Le acts like this. She is in my mansion today. If a minister is changed, she beats the minister in the mansion when the other party is only involved in the case. Does the father think this can be done?"

"Take a step back," Li Rong continued, "If it weren't for me today, and for any minister, my father would think that Huale could take the other party away from the mansion? Those who are afraid of inspecting the department will have to leave there. ."

"How is this possible," Li Ming laughed, "You are too worried."

"Father," Li Rong looked flat, "Inspector, was established by the sons and ministers alone. The sons and ministers know the difficulties better than anyone. As a princess, the eldest sister of the prince, the daughter of the queen, the son and the minister are backed by Shangguan. There are countless assassinations and obstacles during the investigation process, and doing things like this with Huale is afraid it will be dangerous."

"My son asked, who can withstand the slap of Hua Le in this big family?"

Li Ming didn’t speak, he thought about Li Rong’s words, and Li Rong continued: "Erchen knows that his father doesn’t trust his children. The original intention of the children to establish the Supervisory Department is of course the selfishness of the children, but beyond this. , I also hope that there will be someone in the court governing the power of the family. Now that the child minister has left the inspectorate department, the inspectorate department is always the painstaking effort of the child minister." Li Rong said sadly, "If it's gone, Erchen passed away in his heart."

"You also make sense."

Li Ming thought about it and said, "Then, according to what you mean, is to let the style of Chinese music converge. Don't be so tough in the future?"

"When Hua Le should be hard, we still have to be hard, but we can't humiliate people's face like this," Li Rong solemnly said. "In addition, the emperor needs to send more staff to the inspector to ensure that Concubine Roux Waiting for the safety of people, secondly, the inspector has the confidence to do things. This family has its own soldiers in their hands. If Huale can't hold people down, even if they can't mention them, don't handle the case."

Li Ming heard Li Rong's words and knew the hints in her.

In the past, the Supervisory Department only needed such a few people because Li Rong had face, and even if the family did not respect her, they would still respect Li Chuan.

Now that Concubine Rou has no face, she can only rely on more people to do things.

Li Ming was supposed to be Li Rong's credit, but he heard it in his ears and had other thoughts in his heart.

Capital soldiers in the hands of the family.

Now he has established an inspection department and changed the imperial examination system. The soldiers and horses in the hands of the family are the big taboos in his heart. No one knows that these families may unite and take his position off.

This possibility made Li Ming a little anxious, and he couldn't help but want to add more troops and food to his direct army.

But these are all money.

Strengthen the soldiers in their hands for money.

The Zhezi from Yushitai said that there is no food available to Qinlin in the northwest. It is estimated that there will be war again this autumn. There was no farming last year and there were too many refugees who needed comfort and money.

Now the Supervision Department wants to expand its troops and demand money.

It's all money.

When Li Ming thought about this, he felt big. He raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows, Li Rong looked at it, and said cautiously, "Father, what are your concerns?"

"You make a lot of sense, but the supervision department increases the number of troops, and that is a matter of asking for money. Since the establishment of the supervision department, it has spent a lot of money.

Li Rong listened, tapped the heart of her hand with a small fan, and slowly said: "Father, the emperor said so, in fact, in the Supervision Department, the children also paid a lot of subsidies in private."

Listening to Li Rong's words, Li Ming couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But Li Rong didn’t say any more, she turned her head and thought about it: “Or else, Father, you give Brother Cheng a conscription order. If Brother Cheng feels that there is not enough manpower in the actual process, he can simply recruit some civilians. The war last year. There are also many refugees in the city. The cost of recruiting the refugees is low. These people just need to eat and eat. In this way, the people's livelihood is stabilized and the supervisory department has more staff. Above the money, the honest brother is also a prince. , You can’t just think about letting your father pay for everything, how does your father feel?”

"Conscription order?" Li Ming listened and shook his head. "This is something from the army. Where can I get the inspector?"

"Special circumstances, special treatment."

Li Rong smiled, she hesitated for a moment, and some hesitation reminded: "After all, the imperial examination system is going to be reformed now, it is also a very period."

Listening to Li Rong’s words, Li Ming’s heart sank. He glanced at Li Rong. Seeing Li Rong in a daze, he couldn’t help sighing, and tentatively said, “You are Chuan’er’s sister. I never thought that you were right. Cheng'er, I was so worried."

"They are all my own brothers." Li Rong smiled and looked at Li Ming, "He is still young, and it is my supervisory department who is taking over. Why would I not read?"

"He..." Li Ming hesitated for a while before speaking slowly, "On weekdays, I prefer Cheng'er and Hua Le. I thought you would feel a little uncomfortable in your heart."

"My father has thought a lot," Li Rong sighed, "I was a little uncomfortable when I was young. But when I grow up, I know the difficulties of my father. Chuan'er is the prince, and I am the eldest princess. We have already got a lot, father The emperor loves some of the other younger siblings so much so as not to make enemies for us."

Li Rong said sincerely. Li Ming was a little embarrassed for a while. Li Rong smiled and said sincerely: "Father will not abolish Chuan'er anyway. Father's love, will Chuan'er and I know?"

"What you said is." Li Ming nodded, laughing a little hard. Li Rong looked at him gently: "I'm here today, that is to say something worried, as for other things..."

Li Rong's face was a little sad: "I'm not easy to pursue. If Huale's new official takes office, if I just pursue her in this way, she will have a harder time getting along with other people."

"You are generous, that kid Huale is really..." Li Ming hated iron and steel, "it's too much."

Li Rong smiled, bowed her head and said nothing.

Li Ming was silent for a while, and he thought about it, knowing that now he can’t just leave it alone. If he doesn’t appease Li Rong, the queen will also ask him to make trouble, and Li Rong also said well. Now Hua Le is wrong. , And can't slap her in the face, otherwise she will go against her every one of the cases.

Li Ming thought and thought, and finally said: "You have been wronged, but what do you want? Father will reward you."

"What I want, I am afraid that my father will be embarrassed."

Li Rong smiled bitterly. When Li Ming listened to Li Rong's sigh of relief, he knew that she wanted to ask him, and immediately said, "You said, Father Father will certainly agree."

"Father," Li Rong said with a sorrowful face, "Courage...Can you let him come back?"

Li Ming didn't expect to say this. He looked at the bleak color on Li Rong's face and felt a little distressed, but thinking about the worries in his heart, he could only say: "Pingle, strong melons are not sweet. forget it."

Li Rong looked sad, Li Ming thought for a while: "Do you have anything else you want?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little lack of money. The inspectorate used to spend a lot of money. In the past, he used to use the cohort to get it. Now the cohort has left with me. For such a big princess mansion, it costs everything to eat and wear. Money. A few hundred taels of gold a year, and it’s gone."

"You told your father earlier."

Li Ming understood what Li Rong meant, and quickly said: "Father can wronged you? Fulai," Li Ming turned his head and called Fulai over, "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs check the warehouse and end..."

Li Ming paused, Li Rong turned his head and looked over. Li Ming gritted his teeth and finally smiled reluctantly: "One hundred taels of gold, send it to His Highness Pingle."

"The father is so kind."

When Li Rong heard one hundred taels of gold, she immediately became happy and stood up and said, "The minister will not disturb the emperor, so let's go down first."

"Go ahead."

Li Ming smiled reluctantly: "It's not too early."

Li Rong retired happily, and Li Ming called her to stop: "Well, about Huale, you give her a face. She is also for investigating the case, so even if you do something, you can seal a mansion."

The hundred taels of gold were not given for free, Li Rong knew. Li Rong smiled and respectfully said: "I understand."

With that, Li Rong retreated.

Li Rong happily went back with the money. Li Ming stayed in the palace for a while, thinking about a hundred taels of gold, thinking about Qin Lin asking for money, thinking about Xiao Su asking for money, thinking about the Supervisor Department asking for money, the more he thought about it. Gas, chest tightness and headache.

Fulai came over with tea, rubbed his head for Li Ming, and said with comfort: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry to anger your body. That would be a disaster for the society."

"One by one, they ask for money every day. Those family dogs and thieves have so much military salary that they will not be left at all when they arrive at the border. The bully sends Qin Lin to the front line. What if there are no soldiers and no food!"

"That..." Fulai hesitated, "It's better to let General Xiao..."

"How can Xiao Su move?!" Li Ming sat on the chair, patted the armrest and yelled, "Now that the imperial examination is reformed, who knows what these **** will do! Xiao Su is on the front line, and all my soldiers are broken. Ma, if these noble families take action, what will I do with them?"

Fulai stopped speaking, Li Ming thought about it, and listened to Fulai's whispered reminder: "Then, really there is no way to prevent the treasury from paying money and allow General Qin to resist the enemy and settle the people?"

Li Ming fell silent. After a while, he slowly said, "There is one."

"Your Majesty has an idea?"

Li Ming didn't speak, his fingers rubbed the jade fingers on his hands unconsciously.

Li Rong's words are still in his ears: "There are also many refugees in the city. The cost of recruiting the refugees is low. These people just need to give food and eat. This way, the people's livelihood is stabilized, and the supervisory department also has more staff... "

Dealing with the refugees requires less money and increased military strength.

The Superintendent couldn't use this method, but Qin Lin couldn't be more suitable.

Li Ming kept his voice cold and slowly spoke: "Conscription order."
