The Grand Princess

Chapter 52: Embarrassed

After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, he smiled and turned around with Li Rong. Shangguan Xu arrived in front of Li Rong, and after paying a salute to Li Rong, he didn’t even look at Pei Wenxuan. He just said: "His Royal Highness can move and talk to the old minister. ?"

"Uncle is polite."

Li Rong laughed and turned to Pei Wenxuan, "You should wait for me at the gate of the palace first."

Pei Wenxuan bowed his hands, saluted Shangguan Xu, and then left first. Li Rong turned around and looked at Shangguan Xu: "Does uncle want to go back to the house or go to the official office?"

"The old minister intends to go back to the palace, is your Highness going out of the palace?"

"Yes."

"Let's go together then."

Shangguan Xu raised his hand and asked Li Rong to go out with him.

The two walked out together. After Li Rong held a folding fan in her hand, and walked out of the hall with Shang Guan Xu, she heard Shang Guan Xu slowly saying: "Why did your Highness suddenly think of managing Qin's affairs this time?"

"Didn't you just say it?" Li Rong said slowly, "Miss Qin came to me. I can't bear to see Qin's wronged."

"His Royal Highness is already married," Shangguan Xu sighed, "Why bother with so much?"

"Uncle..." Li Rong turned back hesitantly, "Do you mean to let me leave it alone?"

"This time the Northwest incident," Shangguan Xu and Li Rong walked down the steps. "It was a mess that your majesty handed over to the prince. The old minister was worried about his Royal Highness, so he contacted several relatives and tried his best to stabilize the Northwest. Before, His Majesty temporarily changed his generals and forced Xiao Su to become the main general. The list of rewards Xiao Su reported to his Majesty had many problems. I don’t know that His Majesty knew about this.

Li Rong lowered her head slightly: "I would like to hear the details."

"In these lists, most of them belong to the Han people. The children of the aristocratic family have basically not received any awards this time. That's why the court argued. His Royal Highness wants to ask for justice for the Qin family. The old minister understands, but the old minister is fair here," Shangguan Xu saw Xiang Li Rong's expression was a bit oppressive, "I don't know how you plan to give it to your Highness?"

Li Rong quietly listened to Shangguan Xu's words, and for a moment, she seemed to understand the heart of the last life Li Chuan had just ascended the throne.

Want to control them, these people are not only relatives, but also benefactors.

Regardless of them, and unscrupulous.

Li Rong was silent. After a long time, she said slowly: "Then the Qin family, is there any crime?"

Shangguan Xu did not speak, and the two walked on the square. Li Rong looked up at the palace gate in the distance, watching the birds flutter over the vermilion high wall, and whispered: "I know that uncle loves me and Chuan'er. My son, also remember uncle. The imperial court levied taxes and exempted the family’s taxes. Shangguan’s family was in Youzhou and owned nearly half of the land. Every year, tax exemption, even in many imperial courts, was exempted.” Li Rong laughed, “but the border is disturbed. When there was a natural disaster and the court was unable to take care of it, the father wanted to forcefully recruit from the family. It was Chuan'er who missed his uncle and discussed with his majesty and persuaded his majesty."

Li Rong's words seemed loose, but Shangguan Xu's expression turned cold.

The aristocratic family owned land tax-free and had many privileges. The imperial family did not have enough taxes. There were few people and less money. The army came to commit crimes. The family hid behind the imperial court. The imperial court gave the money to the border. The frontier was the Yang family. Controlling, the Yang family was afraid of weakening themselves, so they came up with the absurd thing to spend money to buy into the enemy's country.

The Shangguan family supports Li Chuan, and Li Chuan must also maintain the Shangguan family. Even if the family has accumulated many abuses, Li Chuan must maintain it.

"I don’t know exactly what happened to the Northwest Frontier during the war. But according to my one-sided understanding, the imperial court is responsible for running everything. Although Rong is a small country, it must also involve a lot of things. , It's not the father's."

"His Royal Highness praised." Shangguan Xu insisted, and Li Rong said that he was considerate, but he could understand the secret meaning.

According to the operating mechanism of the entire imperial court, if the aristocratic family didn't make more obstacles in the middle, and the wholeheartedly attacked the Rong country, there would be no big problem. It's just that everyone has their own abacus, so there have always been various problems in the aspects of decision-making, preparation of military pay, allocation, and transportation of grain and grass. This time, if it were not for the Shangguan family to persuade the families to promise various benefits, it would not have been so smooth.

Northwest is a mess, and Huajing is also a mess.

But this mess was already rotten in the family, and Shangguan family came forward to clean it up. It was a credit, but it was also one of the instigators.

Shangguan Xu pinched the wat board, the pinched joints turned white.

Li Rong couldn't bear it for a while, and when she came to the palace gate, she suddenly said, "Uncle."

Shangguan Xu heard this uncle, raised his head, Li Rong looked at him, and said slowly: "When I was a child, my uncle came to the palace and often brought windmills to Rong'er. Rong'er liked it very much."

Shangguan Xu was a little dazed. Li Rong stared at Shangguan Xu and said seriously: "Uncle Rong'er is always Rong'er's family. Rong'er hopes that my family will be well. The water is full, the moon is full, and the moon is full. The way of a saint, I hope Uncle will remember it in his heart."

Shangguan Xu didn't speak, Li Rong took a deep breath and turned to smile: "When I arrive at the gate of the palace, I will not send it to Lord Shangguan. This palace will go ahead."

With that said, Li Rong saluted and left first.

When Li Rong walked away, several ministers next to him walked up to Shangguan Xu and said anxiously, "Master Shangguan, what did your Highness say?"

Shangguan Xu was silent. After a long time, he said slowly: "The lower part of the palace told me a lot. With her knowledge, she should not be able to say this."

Several people looked at each other, and after a while, Shangguan Minzhi said slowly: "I'm afraid I have to talk to Pei Lixian. His child is a bit too presumptuous."

"Young man." Shangguan Xu laughed, "still vigorous."

Li Rong bid farewell to Shangguan Xu, and when she walked out of the palace gate, she happened to see Pei Wenxuan standing at the gate.

He was waiting for her by the carriage in a black and red dress. Pei Wenxuan laughed as he watched Li Rong walk out.

This person, Pei Wenxuan, had a bad stomach, but he was born to be handsome and upright. When he laughed, he felt like a spring breeze blowing in the Qingtian in April, with tenderness and vitality.

Seeing his smile, Li Rong felt relaxed.

Pei Wenxuan stepped forward and looked at her with a smile: "Do you need a minister to help your Highness?"

"Why ask?"

Li Rong was a little strange, Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand and said, "If your Highness is tired, please help the minister."

Li Rong looked at him, put her hand on his hand, and he got into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Pei Wenxuan: "Let's go back first. When we get to the house, your majesty's decree and tokens should be here. Then we go to the Criminal Ministry to bring up the case of the Qin family and take a look at the situation of the Qin family."

Li Rong answered and went home with Pei Wenxuan. Soon after waiting in the princess's mansion, Li Ming asked her to investigate and handle the Qin's case, and the imperial decree arrived. Along with the imperial edict, there was a special token awarded by Li Ming to the Supervision Department.

After obtaining the imperial decree and token, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan rushed to the criminal department together. As soon as they arrived at the criminal department, they were stopped by the criminal department. Li Rongliang took the token in his hand and said directly: "The palace is here on decree. Shuling History Tune File."

The people from the Criminal Ministry were stunned. They obviously hadn't received the notice. Li Rong looked up at them: "Why, do you not believe in the palace or the imperial decree?"

"Don't dare," the guard at the door hurriedly stepped aside and said to Li Rong, "His Royal Highness, please."

It stands to reason that these people should lead Li Rong in to find Shu Lingshi, but none of them had the intention to lead the way. Fortunately, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan had already figured out the various ministries in their previous lives, and they were too lazy to argue with them and mention them by themselves. Step by step, you will be directly at the place where the files are stored.

After arriving at the warehouse where the files were stored, Li Rong asked the officials below to call the chief. After Li Rong gave the imperial decree, he said directly: "Call out the files of the Qin case, and the palace takes away."

Hearing this, the book Lingshi hesitated for a moment, and then laughed: "His Royal Highness, it's not that you are embarrassed by an official. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has rules of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If you want to remove the file, please get the approval."

"Approval? In the imperial decree, the presiding officer of this palace is allowed to try this case, and no one can block it. With the grade of this palace, does it need to be approved?"

"His Royal Highness," Shu Lingshi smiled bitterly, "This is also a rule. Unless your Majesty comes in person, you must approve the order. Even if it is Master Shang Shu, you must follow the rules."

Li Rong did not speak. Both she and Pei Wenxuan knew that this was embarrassment for the people below.

It is difficult for Yan Wang to find the little ghost. Li Rong has not been so entangled with the little ghost in many years. She couldn't help laughing: "Who should I call for this order?"

"You go to Master Gao and tell him, Master Gao gave the order, and the humble post immediately handed over the Qin's dossier to His Highness."

"Where is Chief Gao?" Li Rong continued to ask, Shu Lingshi raised his hand and said, "It should be in the room on the left in the front. Please also move your Highness."

"Okay." Li Rong nodded, "My palace, go and see."

After Li Rong finished speaking, he went to Master Gao with Pei Wenxuan. When he arrived in Master Gao's room, Li Rong raised her brows and glanced at the guard at the door: "Where is Master Gao?"

"Master Gao is out on business." The guard said cautiously, "Your Highness...Will your Highness come back tomorrow?"

Li Rong did not speak. She raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan looked at the guards and said calmly, "What did Master Gao go out for?"

"This...I don't know this humble job."

The guard looked awkward, and Pei Wenxuan went silent. After a long time, Li Rong laughed out: "Okay, the palace will come back another day."

After Li Rong finished speaking, she turned around and led Pei Wenxuan directly out of the Criminal Department.

After leaving the house, Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness does not need to be angry. It was decided by the Supervision Department this morning, and now the Ministry of Criminal Justice has not received any news..."

"What news!" Li Rong whispered, "Do these people use this palace as a monkey? What kind of boss are you looking for? If Su Rongqing is here today, I think he still needs a boss?! It's clearly to deceive you. I'm not sensible!"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. Seeing Li Rong walking out angrily, he followed closely and whispered, "What is your Royal Highness going to do?"

"How? They deceived my youth, so I will let them know what youth is!"

With that said, Li Rong got to the side of the carriage and strode onto the carriage. Pei Wenxuan saw her being annoyed, fearing that she would be outraged, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Where are you going to go?"

"Go find someone! Don't follow me, go to the barracks, call ten good hands from the people I saw before, and they will be there in a while," Li Rong raised his hand to the teahouse next to him, "I'll wait there. you."

"I'm looking for someone, where's your highness?"

"I……"

Before Li Rong finished speaking, she heard Shangguanya's somewhat happy voice: "Ah, Your Highness," Shangguanya waved a short distance, "What a coincidence!"
