Chapter 103: Sharp edge

Li Rong hurried out of the princess mansion, and when she reached the door, she turned her head, lowered her voice and said to the attendants: "You immediately go to the deputy chief of the Shangguan, and ask her to go to Cha Huale and Concubine Roux recently. From the list of court ministers, who on earth put the name of the servants on the staff, let her find out immediately."
The attendant responded in a low voice, and Li Rong got into the carriage and let the carriage lead her to the palace.
When Li Rong hurried to the palace, Concubine Rou led Hua Le while dyeing her nails.
"Pei Wenxuan actually fainted," Hua Le sat next to Concubine Rou, handing over his hand to the maid. The maid trimmed her nails. He was rather puzzled. "Isn't it good to be a servant boy? He is dizzy. Are you still happy?"
"If he is so happy, I will be happy." Concubine Rou closed her eyes, letting the attendant beat her back to manicure, and said lazily, "but I'm afraid he will faint with anger."
"I'm still angry after being promoted," Hua Le frowned, "How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Concubine Rou did not have a straight eye, and slowly explained, "If he is smarter, he will definitely not be happy."
"why?"
"He is a servant of the staff, and courtiers will not agree." Rou Fei looked down and watched the nails on her hands painted bright red, her voice was steady, "Not only can he not be a servant, but it will also arouse your majesty's suspicion, wondering how powerful the princess is. Princess. If you have too much power, your Majesty must be worried. Your Majesty is worried about the princess's way of court." Concubine Rou raised her eyes and smiled softly, "It's over."
"Advance as retreat," Hua Le was happy. "The mother and concubine are still great. Liu Chunhang's old husband, who didn't choose the mother and concubine and chose her, is simply blind!"
"I don't have real power now, and I rely on your majesty's grace," Rou Fei listened to Hua Le's words, but was not angry, and said slowly, "Pingle holds the inspector, the courtier is naturally afraid of her. But the courtier is afraid," Rou The concubine raised her eyes, looked at Hua Le, and said with a smile, "Your father is naturally afraid."
With that, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the Yushufang outside the window: "Pingle, it's still too young."
"Emperor Father, too," Hua Le said, discouraged when he listened to Concubine Rou's words, "Give Pingle such an important matter to the Inspector, but give me nothing. Excessive."
Concubine Roux listened to Hua Le's words and looked at her with a smile, as if she was a child who was not growing up.
"Do you know what you are better off than Pingle?"
"Am I not as good as her?" Hua Le became angry, "Why am I not as good as her?"
"Pingle, what she wants, she will fight and grab." Roufei said, smiling at Hua Le, "She knows that the most important thing for a woman is to hold power. And you This stupid boy just wants to find a wishful man."
"If you want power, you have to marry someone with power," Hua Le said, leaning close to Concubine Roux, grabbing Concubine Rou's hand, and spoilingly said, "It's like a concubine, married to his father. Emperor, isn't she a noble woman?"
"You are wrong," Rou Fei opened Hua Le's hand and said solemnly and softly, "You must remember that your power was taken back by you. Men are only your means," Rou Fei's voice became more gentle, "but It should never be your purpose."
"I don't believe it." Hua Le turned his head and said proudly, "Father loves you the most. If it weren't for Shangguan's pressure, you would have been a queen."
Concubine Roux lowered her head and smiled while listening to Hua Le's words, and only said, "Stupid boy."
Then he turned his head and turned his eyes to the vibrant weeds in the courtyard.
Spring is here, and the vegetation is flourishing. From Mingle Palace to Imperial Study Room, the vegetation is flourishing.
Li Ming looked at Wang Houwen, who was kneeling on the ground, walking around in the hall. He wanted to curse and felt that Wang Houwen's face was too shameful. After all, Wang Houwen was a veteran, and he had to give this face.
"What qualifications is Pei Wenxuan, do you dare to put him in the position of assistant minister?"
Li Ming sullen in his heart, and he stared at Wang Houwen: "In such an important position, if you put a mediocre person, I just ask you, I have always believed that you have a sense of measure. But what do you mean now? Pei Wenxuan is a yellow-haired child!" Li Ming shouted loudly, "You dare to put it in the position of the assistant minister?!"
"Although Pei Yushi is young," Wang Houwen seemed to be a little nervous, hesitantly praised, "but he is a princess, princess..."
"What happened to the princess?!"
Li Ming yelled: "The princess can cross Wang Fa, cross the court, cross me?! I will ask you, why does Pei Wenxuan become a servant? Why?!"
Just after Li Ming finished roaring, he heard an announcement from outside saying that it was Li Rong.
Li Ming raised his head and drank: "No!"
After speaking, he saw the hurrying down, and called the to stay again: "Forget it," Li Ming entangled, "You bring people in."
With that said, Li Ming looked down at Wang Houwen, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "It's done, you go down first, reflect on it yourself, and let me find out the rest."
"Thank your majesty."
Wang Houwen respectfully saluted, stood up and stepped back.
Li Rong stood at the door for a while, thinking about what to say when he saw Li Ming.
The staff officer of the staff department cannot be reserved for this position, but if she does not stay, Pei Wenxuan will miss the transfer time, and the staff officer of the staff department will not be able to go to other positions. If you are transferred again, you can only wait for next year.
The most important thing is that if you can't transfer, this year's imperial examination will be completely missed. Waiting for the Dragon and Tiger Ranking again, I am afraid that it will only be in the next life.
She had to keep the position of Pei Wenxuan's assistant minister, but if she didn't let it go, Li Ming would definitely be jealous of her.
Concubine Rou's current plan is afraid that she will be in a dilemma. Either make Li Ming jealous, or give up Pei Wenxuan's promotion. If she follows Roufei's thoughts, she will suffer anyway. So the best way for her now is to move people around and save Zhao.
What Rou concubine let Li Ming see is her private minister of activities, seeking an official position for Pei Wenxuan. Then she would directly respond to this matter, and then file a complaint with Concubine Rou.
She colluded with the officials and the family with Roufei.
Li Rong sneered, she wanted to see, Li Ming thought which of the two was more serious.
Li Rong was thinking about it and saw Wang Houwen walking out.
After arriving at the door, Wang Houwen bowed to Li Rong respectfully. Li Rong said with a straight face, and seeing Wang Houwen saluting, she said coldly: "Wang Shangshu is the third grade Shangshu, the veteran of Chaozhong, I can't bear this ceremony."
"What about Shangshu?" Wang Houwen sighed. "Xie Lanqing is the Shangshu of the Penalty Department, Xie Family Patriarch, doesn't His Highness also say that he will be defeated if he is defeated?"
Hearing this, Li Rong raised her head and stared at Wang Houwen coldly.
Wang Houwen smiled lightly, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Weichen retires."
After speaking, Wang Houwen turned around and went straight on.
Li Rong entered the imperial study room and saluted respectfully. Li Ming coldly asked her to stand up and said coldly, "What are you doing now?"
With that said, Li Ming didn't get angry: "The official position of Pei Wenxuan has been decided, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Erchen is here for this."
Li Rong hurriedly knelt down again: "I beg your father to choose another assistant minister!"
Li Ming's expression slowed when he heard this: "It is a good thing that Pei Wenxuan is a servant of the staff, why do you want to change?"
"Emperor father," Li Rong said anxiously, "You can speak frankly to the emperor. In this transfer, the son actually helped Pei Wenxuan secretly and operated secretly."
"I know." Li Ming sneered. "Otherwise he can be the assistant minister?"
"But the position that the child minister asked for was not the assistant minister."
Li Rong looked up anxiously: "Father, the position sought by the children is the master of the sixth-rank test."
"I need you to ask for the main thing in the test?"
Li Ming frowned. As soon as Li Rong heard this, his eyes were red, and his voice dumbed: "Father, you don't know anything. Since the child minister has served as the chief inspector, many people have offended in the court. Because of the er-chen, he was very difficult to do things. Originally, he married the er-chen according to the custom. Regardless of his previous rank, he should be promoted to the sixth-rank official. He polished in the Yushitai for a year, and then Helping the elder minister with a few major cases, it should be more than enough to be transferred to the test of merit. But because of the son, he was embarrassed by the court and refused to accept him anywhere, but He can't be the monitor of his life, right?"
"Isn't Yushitai managed by Shangguanmin?" Li Ming knocked on the table, thinking, "You let him stay in Yushitai, okay?"
"This is really embarrassing!" Li Rong burst into tears as he spoke. "You know how many people from Shangguan family have been investigated by the son. Uncle Min Zhi hates that he doesn't even let his relatives go, and is embarrassed everywhere. As long as there is a little way, I won’t be so anxious and move around for him. Yushitai embarrassed him, and other ministries refused to accept him. In desperation, the sons and ministers had no choice but to walk around for him, asking for officials from all walks of life. , To see if they can think of a way, it’s okay to be the chief if the member is not enough. But the officials are all pushing back and forth, the son... the son is forced, begged for someone, and spent a lot of money to finally give it to the husband. I asked for the position of a principal. But I didn’t expect that he would become an assistant minister above the hall today!"
"Being a servant of the staff, isn't that good?" Li Ming observed Li Rong's expression, and Li Rong wiped her tears: "Father, sons and ministers are greedy for power, but we also know the truth that things must be contradictory. Wen Xuan and I He was still young, and he entered the imperial court for less than a year. He was promoted directly to the staff of the staff, how many eyes were on him? If he really takes this position, how many people will hate him, saying that I rely on the supervisor Power paved the way for him. If he had no talent, it would be fine, but Ma is clearly a talented person. If he is wronged, how can he help him? This is harming him!"
Li Ming frowned as he listened to Li Rong's words. He was silent for a long time before saying: "You have a problem, why don't you tell me earlier?"
"If the son is in trouble, the father is gone?" Li Rong controlled herself, sobbing, "The son of the son established the supervisory department to share the worries of the father. It's just that you can't help the father, you can't I also need to worry about my own personal affairs. This matter is indeed the fault of the child minister. The child minister should not secretly think about finding a way for the son. They will not let him get promoted if he is not promoted. If they bully him, they will bully him. , Others laughed at me, so I endured it. I went to find a way for him in private. I really deserve to be punished. I hope that the emperor will find a way now. We really dare not ask for the position of assistant minister."
With that, Li Rong buckled down, crying out of breath.
Li Ming heard her crying pitifully, and heard that someone laughed at her. After all, she was a child with one hand. She used to be arrogant and arrogant. He was a little distressed as he is today, so he said angrily: "Who dares Are you laughing at you? I want to listen, who is so bold that even you dare to laugh?"
Li Rong didn't speak, and Li Ming was quite impatient: "Why don't you speak? What do you just cry for?"
"Father, it's not that the children didn't talk about it, but the children said it. The father is afraid that he will think that the children are playing wrong."
Li Ming frowned, he had some guesses: "Is it from the palace?"
Li Rong lowered her head, seemingly tired.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Ming was a little angry: "Speak."
"Father," Li Rong supported herself and straightened up, "If you must tell your son, the minister will tell the truth."
Li Rong stared at Li Ming and laughed with tears: "Since her son and minister got married, she has been ridiculed by other princesses in the palace. Sister Hua Le said that Pei Wenxuan was a humble person, and the emperor did not like me. To him."
"Nonsense!"
Li Ming shouted angrily, his face was blue and white: "How can Hua Le say such things!"
"What does the father mean?" Li Rong laughed. "Do you think Hua Le can't say such things, or do you think Hua Le should not say such things?"
Li Ming was speechless for a while, and Li Rong continued: "My father thought, why am I so scared today? Why do I enter the palace in such a hurry and beg my father to take down the position of the assistant minister? Not just thinking that Pei Wen Xuantai Young. In terms of youth, Su Rongqing is also young, so why should he be a minister of criminal justice, and my husband can’t be a servant? But I still have to come, because I know that if I don’t come," Li Rong lowered his head and laughed, tears in his eyes. On her hair, "Father will definitely feel that I was responsible for the propaganda work and let him be the assistant minister. I was scared."
"I..." Li Ming was embarrassed, "Why do you think I think so?"
"Because, Erchen is used to it." Li Rong choked, "If Erchen is Huale's sister today, of course Erchen is not afraid. Because Erchen knows that my father believes me. But Erchen is the daughter of Shangguan family."
"What happened to your Shangguan's daughter?" Li Ming said anxiously, "Your Shangguan's daughter is also my eldest princess!"
"Sister Ke Huale said," Li Rong stared at Li Ming, "Because my father is suspicious of Shangguan, that's why he married me to a cold family."
"She fucks! Nonsense!" Li Ming slapped the table with anger. "Pei Wenxuan is Pei Lizhi's son. He was the top pick in the new department at the time. He has good appearance. Don't you know how good he is? I value other people's character."
"I know the kindness of my father, so when I got married back then, I was happy." Li Rong looked tired, "but I will be afraid after listening for a long time. I always hope that my father feels good about me and trusts me more. Some, so I don’t fight, don’t ask, don’t snatch. My husband is not a nobleman and is of low grade. I didn’t say anything. Even if they talked about me behind their backs and laughed at me, I didn’t think I heard them."
"I'm tired."
Li Rong said, kowtow again: "Just ask the father, don’t be jealous of the children. The children don’t have such a great ability, and the children have tried their best. They just... want to ask for justice. Let my husband not because I, even a sixth-rank official, can't do it."
"Pingle..."
Li Ming felt a bit sour after hearing Li Rong's words.
"I beg your father's favor."
Li Ming didn't speak. After a long time, he sighed and walked to Li Rong himself and helped Li Rong up.
"You get up first." Li Ming's voice was gentle, "I will give you justice in this matter. You go back first."
"Thank you, Father."
Li Rong salutes respectfully, but his words are a bit alienated. Li Ming suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Li Rong used to love to act like a baby with him. He thought he had so many children, and he didn't care about these children coming and going. But when Li Rong really expressed his disappointment in him, he realized that facing this eldest daughter, he always had so much love as a father in his heart.
"Go back first."
He restrained his emotions and patted Li Rong on the shoulder. Li Rong salutes respectfully, her posture is always graceful, and after she salutes and retreats, Li Ming stands on the spot, quietly watching Li Rong's back.
Fulai brought the tea up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has already gone far."
"Fulai," Li Ming said suddenly, "Is it bad for Rong'er?"
"How did your Majesty say that?" Fulai answered smoothly, "Your Majesty is very kind to all your Highness. He is a very loving father."
"I think Pingle is disappointed with me."
Li Ming spoke slowly, and Fulai said with a smile: "Your Majesty said and laughed. His Majesty Pingle has always trusted your Majesty. No matter what your Majesty says, your Royal Highness will believe that you are his best father and she will never be disappointed in you. "
"If you say that, I feel even more sad."
Li Ming said, turning around and sighing: "In this palace, all those who think of feelings as a sharp knife will be hurt by the sharp knife."
Fulai raised his hand to help Li Ming, Li Ming sat down again, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You send someone to investigate, who is responsible for Pei Wenxuan's entry into the staff."
"Yes."
Fu said, pressing his sleeves with one hand, holding the inkstone with the other, and began to rub the ink for Li Ming, and said in a puzzled way: "But your Majesty, whether or not His Highness Pingle intervenes, Master Pei is the assistant minister, isn't it... "
"Is it something?"
Li Ming raised his eyes to look at Fulai. Fulai laughed hard: "Is it... too young?"
"Why do you always say that Pei Wenxuan is young, but never say that Su Rongqing is young?"
"Su Shangshu comes from a family after all..."
"So you all bullied Pei Wenxuan from a family background, your father died early, right?"
Li Ming sneered, Fulai hurriedly knelt to the ground, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty calms down your anger, the slave is guilty, and the slave just listens to outsiders..."
"According to your statement, do many people really laugh at Pingle behind?"
Fulai was afraid to speak.
Li Ming took a deep breath: "Okay," he raised his finger at Fulai and nodded, "It's good."
Fulai knelt, repeatedly kowtow to Li Ming for forgiveness.
Li Ming only pointed at Fulai and didn't speak. After a long time, he took a deep breath: "Check first, check it out, I'll wait for the result!"
