After Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan finished talking, she went back to the Princess Mansion by herself. When she lay on the bed of the Princess Mansion, she seemed to be lost.
Without Pei Wenxuan by her side, and she doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, her heart was empty for a while.
She opened her hand in the void, looking at her slender palm, she suddenly felt that Shangguan Xu was right.
The daughter of their Shangguan family seems to be born to hold power. With no power in her hands, she felt dazed and empty as if she had lost the way forward.
She is completely different from Li Chuan. Li Chuan is on the throne, and every step he takes seems to stem from his responsibility to the people around him. Because he is a prince, he has tied the lives of many people since birth, so he had to fight and move forward.
But every step of hers stems from the deep desire for power in her own heart.
She loves the feeling of manipulation and choice too much, and deep down, she loves the passion for these adventures.
So on such a peaceful night, she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
She tossed and turned at night, and after a long time, she got up and went to the closet, pulled out a piece of Pei Wenxuan's clothes, and hugged the clothes in her arms, only to find some stability, and fell asleep with her arms in her arms.
When she slept until early morning, she woke up on time, and was about to ask someone to wait on her to get up, when she remembered that she didn't have to go to court.
After the inspector handed it over, the court had nothing to do with her, so she only needed to stay in the dark.
Li Rong was stunned for a moment, buried her head with the quilt, and fell asleep again.
She slept all the way until noon, when she just got up to eat, Jinglan waited on her to get up, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness doesn't go to court, it looks like she's in a lot of spirit."
"The man is gone, the career is gone," Li Rong sighed, "Where is the spirit?"
Jingmei was amused by Li Rong, and pulled Li Rong's clothes aside, she just smiled and said, "Your Highness thinks so much about your lover, why don't you go to the new house tonight?"
Li Rong glanced at her leisurely, and Jingmei's heart skipped a beat. Just as she thought Li Rong was going to scold her, she heard Li Rong say, "It suits me very well."
Li Rong had breakfast and rested in the courtyard for a while before Zhao Chongjiu rushed back with the news from the court.
"Today, His Majesty nominated Lord Pei as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and Lord Pei was solely responsible for the imperial examination. He also let King Su officially take over the supervisory department, and the concubine Rou was assisted by the imperial concubine to thoroughly investigate the case of the substitute examination for the imperial examination."
Li Rong nodded, she thought about it, and couldn't help but ask: "Where's Shi Lang Su?"
"Su Shilang has asked himself to supervise this imperial examination."
"Supervision?" Li Rong laughed. "Now, he doesn't hold back at all. What about Cui Yulang?"
"He let the humble office speak, saying that Concubine Rou had rewarded him today, and he also asked him to help him and do things well."
When Li Rong heard this, she knew that Concubine Rou had begun to completely trust Cui Yulang.
This is not surprising.
She has cooperated with Su Rongqing for so long, not only did she get nothing, but she was also lowered from the position of noble concubine to the position of concubine. After working with Cui Yulang for such a short period of time, not only did she restore her concubine position, but she also helped Li Cheng get the supervisory division. In addition to Cui Yulang's identity as a Han family, how could she not trust Cui Yulang more
Li Rong nodded and said only: "Let Cui Yulang stay well, and let people stare at him again, remember to set a fixed time, and ask me to get the medicine."
Zhao Chongjiu responded, and Li Rong asked about the harvest of her fief this year and the situation in the northwest.
"Master Xun asked the princess for one thing this time."
Li Rong raised her eyes, and Zhao Chongjiu said in a low voice, "Master Xun wants the princess to secretly ask for a temporary conscription order for Qin Lin."
"What's the matter?"
Li Rong tapped the palm of his hand with his fan, and Zhao Chongjiu raised his hand to send the letter sent by Xun Chuan. Li Rong quickly glanced over and understood what Xun Chuan meant.
Last year, during the war in the northwest, there was almost no farming in the front-line cities. This year, when there is no food in the cities, they can only rely on the imperial court for relief. But the money of the imperial court arrived in the northwest, and was divided up layer by layer. When Qin Lin was in the hands, there was not much left, the army's salary was barely enough, and disaster relief was even more difficult.
On the one hand, Qin Lin couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, Qin Lin really lacked troops and horses, so Cui Qinghe suggested that Qin Lin should take the people in the city into the camp and support the war with the people.
The strong men filled the army, and the old and weak women and children were left to farm the land separately. By the fall of this year, it is estimated that the war will start again in the north, and then they will have the strength to fight.
What he did was naturally against the rules, but Qin Lin believed that after doing this, the major families in the north would not have to divide him too much military salaries, nor would he have to go to the battlefield to feed himself into a strong army, so officials in the northwest were happy to see it succeed. , will not expose Qin Lin, so Qin Lin has already done it in private.
But this is a violation of the law after all. In a big way, it is a private army, so Xun Chuan specially sent a letter to Li Rong, asking Li Rong to ask for a conscription order for Qin Lin. That's all for normal days. If something really happens, if this conscription order is brought out, it will count as Qin Lin's conscription.
When Li Rong saw the letter, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Qin Lin is a general, but his biggest problem is that he is too arbitrary.
Such generals are heroes in troubled times, but they are also the most troublesome existences for monarchs in peaceful and prosperous times. Now if Xun Chuan hadn't brought this matter back, Li Rong had already thought about what would happen in the future.
Those aristocratic families don't speak now because they need Qin Lin. But when needed, this is a reminder of Qin Lin's life. What's more terrifying is not Qin Lin himself, but Qin Lin's current military salaries, part of which is sent by her side.
Qin Lin is privately stationing troops, she provides military salaries, and she is the eldest sister of the crown prince. If this crime is down, 10,000 deaths are not enough.
Li Rong calmed down and knew that she had to get Qin Lin for this conscription order.
After getting the conscription order, the more troops Qin Lin has in his hands, the more stable Li Chuan will be when he ascends the throne.
But how could she get such a thing for Qin Lin
The conscription order is a special military order in Daxia. During special periods, the general can recruit troops on the spot in the garrison city according to this order.
The king gave this kind of thing very carefully. How can she make Li Ming secretly give Qin Lin a secret conscription order
Li Rong was thinking about it when she heard noises from outside, and after a while, the maid rushed in from outside the courtyard and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, His Highness Hua Le came with the inspector and sealed the princess' mansion. already."
Hearing this, Li Rong was stunned for a while, and after a while, she laughed incredulously: "Hua Le, with the Inspector, to seal my mansion?"
She understood each of these words, but when they were combined, she realized that it was a little funny.
Without waiting for her to go out, she heard Hua Le's familiar voice from outside, and there was a bit of arrogance in that voice: "Sister Pingle."
Li Rong looked at the sound, and saw Hua Le walking out of the corner in a golden robe. Behind her was a group of old inspectors. There were some new faces among them. A newcomer to the Inspectorate.
Li Rong raised her eyebrows and watched Hua Le walk in front of her and greeted her with a blessing: "My sister has been ordered by King Su to come to my sister's mansion to investigate the case."
"Investigate the case?" Li Rong was rather amused, "What case do you want to investigate?"
"Chen Houzhao, does my sister still remember this person?"
"Remember," Li Rong knew what Hua Le was doing when she heard it, and she couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you come to the Superintendent to file a complaint a few days ago?"
"He disappeared."
Hua Le observed Li Rong, and Li Rong looked surprised: "Missing?"
"Yes, he left Huajing on the day of his sister's complaint, and then his ship sank, and he himself is nowhere to be found."
"so."
Li Rong nodded, then remembered: "Then you are looking for him. What are you looking for from me?"
"His Royal Highness Su suspects that it was my elder sister who killed this person. So please cooperate with my elder sister and inspect the inspector."
Li Rong didn't speak, she smiled and looked at Hua Le.
Seeing that Li Rong heard these words, Hua Le's expression did not change. For some reason, she felt that she was a little short of breath. She forced herself to meet Li Rong's gaze, and said, "Sister still resisting arrest?"
"I'm not resisting arrest, I just want to ask my sister a few questions."
Li Rong's small fan tapped her palm: "This palace is the princess of the dynasty, a royal relative, you want to arrest me, is there any evidence for this case?"
"If we don't interrogate you, where will the evidence come from?" Hua Le frowned, "How did you handle the case at the Inspectorate Division before, didn't you know?"
"When this palace handles cases, it has always been about evidence. If you are lower than my rank, you can ask the inspector. But if your rank is higher than mine, you have to ask people if they are willing. Sister, this is your first time working in the court. , I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the rules of the court, Jinglan."
Li Rong turned her head and instructed Jinglan, "Go to the room, bring the code of conduct of the Inspector and bring it back to His Royal Highness Hua Le to recite it well."
Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, and went to get the rules of the Inspector Division.
Hua Le was so scolded by Li Rong, and her anger suddenly came from it. She didn't have to raise her voice, and said loudly: "Stop talking nonsense! The inspector is handling the case, you are suspicious, don't go to interrogate me, and push three and four, right? Guilty of being a thief?!"
Li Rong heard Hua Le's voice, her eyes were slightly cold, but she still had a smile on her face, only said: "Sister, you are afraid that you are going to the court, and you will forget the honor in the palace. I am your eldest sister, Are you so rude when you talk to me?"
"I'm helping King Su handle the case..."
"I know more about the Inspectorate than you!" Li Rong suddenly said, "If you don't have any evidence, get out of here!"
"Li Rong, you..."
"Fork out!"
Li Rong waved a small fan and turned to leave. Hua Le was in a hurry and rushed to bring someone forward to catch Li Rong. The guards of the princess' mansion rushed forward immediately, and the two sides were blocked, and Hua Le yelled. : "Pingle, don't go!"
Li Rong went up the steps, and when she heard Hua Le yelling, she turned around again.
The phoenix eyes lifted lightly, and Yunyou glanced at Hua Le, who was yelling at the inspector in the crowd to catch her. She laughed and was about to make a mockery when she suddenly realized something—
Conscription order, yes.
