After the establishment ceremony, the Supervision Division began to operate officially.
That winter was the most turbulent winter in the Great Xia Dynasty. Li Rong started with the Qin case, and together with the military pay case, after it was launched, nearly seventy officials were investigated and dealt with.
When Li Rong came out with two cases, the distribution of military positions in the northwest finally came to an end. As compensation for the Qin family, Qin Feng was promoted to General Zhongwu, and Qin Lin was appointed Deputy General. Concubine Rou's elder brother Xiao Su became the Northwest Grand Marshal, guarding Chenzhou and taking charge of all the armies in the Northwest.
Things are moving fast and everyone is busy. Li Rong was busy investigating cases, arresting people, and sorting out evidence.
Pei Wenxuan was busy cooperating with Shang Zhezi, fighting with those who opposed Li Rong, trying to find a way to clear up the private relationship.
The courtroom scolds Li Rong overwhelmingly, and Pei Wenxuan scolds him back with a top ten. Whoever joins Li Rong, he scolds, and whoever scolds Li Rong, he scolds him. Before the end of the year, he is already better than the entire Censor Desk. The total number of people who participate in the performance in a year is larger.
The court went to war with the crowd, and when Pei Wenxuan came back, he didn't even want to say a word. Sometimes, after finally resting, he waited for Li Rong. Li Rong came back to take a shower, and fell on the bed. He said a few more words, and people fell asleep.
If you don't have time to get along, you can't do anything. Fortunately, Pei Wenxuan is not in a hurry. There is always an end to busyness, and there is no time for big things, so start with small things.
So Pei Wenxuan got up early every day to dress her up, and in the afternoon ordered someone to give her sweet soup and sweet soup, and by the way, he sent a sentimental poem, paying close attention to the details of her life, trying to moisten things silently. into her life.
By the time before the Spring Festival, things were finally handled almost, and the officials in the court were also tired. Knowing how they played Li Rong, Li Rong had not made any big mistakes at all. She was determined to handle the case. , the emperor was determined to protect, the Shangguan family pretended to be dead and kept silent, and the crown prince could not persuade Li Rong, unless they raised an army and directly overthrew the court, they would not be able to stop Li Rong from arresting people.
In addition, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the officials of the imperial court lost their patience and did not want to quarrel anymore, so Pei Wenxuan finally calmed down. wait.
He had people prepare meals that Li Rong liked in advance, and he had a lot of fun to mix the soothing fragrance, and then dressed it up.
It was the coldest time of winter now, but he still wore a white single shirt and a blue brocade and white plum cloak.
When he chose this suit, Tong Ye was shocked and couldn't help reminding: "Master, it's very cold today."
Pei Wenxuan adjusted his neckline. After a while, he pointed to the cabinet and said, "Bring a thicker coat over here."
Pei Wenxuan let the charcoal fire in the house burn a little more vigorously, wrapped in a coat and read a book in the house. When it was dinner time, he finally heard the voice of Li Rong returning to the mansion outside. He took off the coat and stuffed it into Tong Ye and said: "Hide now."
Tong Ye was at a loss as he watched Pei Wenxuan tidy up his clothes in front of the mirror, and quickly got up to meet him.
Pei Wenxuan hurried to the door, and as soon as he walked to the front yard, he heard Li Rong talking to someone from a distance: "You can't be vague about land grabbing and killing people. Take some chronic poison and let someone feed him, just treat him as seriously ill and deal with it. After the treatment, you can go to his father and persuade him that his son is dead anyway, stop making trouble, Shangguan's family is private Go down and apologize to the family and lose the money. In this way, if he is investigated in the future, he will be said to be guilty and uneasy, and he committed suicide by himself, so there is no way to trace it. "
As Li Rong spoke, Pei Wenxuan saw her walk in with Shangguanya.
It was getting colder in winter, but Li Rong didn't wear a thick jacket like others. She just looked a little thicker, with a white fox fur coat on the outside. .
Pei Wenxuan was waiting for her in the corridor with a smile, Li Rong was still talking to Shangguanya seriously, the two girls didn't see her at all, Shangguanya whispered: "I understand, I will do it before His Majesty officially takes action against the prince. Clean up Shangguan's house."
"Did they listen to you?" Li Rong frowned, Shangguan Ya smiled, "I investigated the case, and at the same time I promoted some shy sons who were not valued in the past to help, and His Highness helped to recommend them. Sweetie, if you don't go with me, you will have to be troubled by me, so far, it's still cooperative. After all, it's just resignation at most, if you don't die, it's fine."
"Then keep your hands and feet clean." Li Rong ordered, and Shangguanya nodded.
The two walked past Pei Wenxuan while talking, and Pei Wenxuan followed silently. The two of them didn't realize that there was another person behind them, and only continued to discuss business.
"Have those noble families sought your father?"
"I'm looking for it," Shangguanya laughed, "how can you not look for it? They want to find someone to persuade you. I heard that the Queen Mother in the palace said it. I went to the Queen Mother in advance to say hello. The Queen Mother is now behind closed doors. Now, don't worry."
"That's good."
Li Rong and Shangguanya were talking, and she pondered for a moment: "Then there is only one way for them to go."
Shangguanya nodded, she understood what Li Rong meant, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, take care."
"Yeah." Li Rong pondered, "You too."
The two were talking, Shangguanya sat down, and talked about many details. When Shangguanya and Li Rong finished discussing, it was already night. Shangguanya left and stood up, only to realize that Pei Wenxuan was standing here. , She was stunned for a while, then smiled at Pei Wenxuan, and cupped her hands: "If you disturb it, don't take offense to the concubine."
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand with a smile: "Miss Shangguan, walk slowly."
Shangguanya hurried out the door, Li Rong took a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea, raised her head a little tiredly, and said slowly, "I heard that you plan to be promoted to the official department?"
"Your Majesty intends to open Enco this year."
Pei Wenxuan walked behind Li Rong, put his hand on Li Rong's forehead, and said peacefully: "Now that you have so many people, there are not enough people in the court. Your Majesty plans to hold the imperial examination in advance and select a group of people. When I go to the Ministry of Officials, there will just be a group of disciples."
Daxia's method of selecting talents is based on the first grade, and the second is the imperial examination. Most of the discerning people know that the imperial examination was originally a method used by the emperor to suppress the family. After the test, they are also placed in some innocuous positions.
For example, Cui Yulang, the champion of the new division last year, was placed in the Ministry of Rites as a subordinate of the fifth grade. It sounds good, but it is irrelevant and has no real power.
So now the imperial examination is important, and the powerful ministers in the DPRK don't care much, and they don't bother to fight for the position of the examiner. Take a bite.
Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong both knew that the most important thing to become an examiner in the imperial examination was never the ability to make a fortune from the children of the Han tribe at that time, but the officials who passed through it and finally entered the officialdom. There is a bond with this examiner. If this examiner can do some business, these people will even regard the examiner as a "teacher" in the court, and promote each other to take care of each other.
This was one of the sources of Pei Wenxuan's large number of supporters back then. Li Rong was not surprised that Pei Wenxuan was going to manage the imperial examinations.
Especially when she cut a lot of vacancies.
"You go directly from the censor's desk, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Li Rong thought for a while, "There are a lot of people bothering you now."
"Thanks to His Highness," Pei Wenxuan laughed. He gently pressed Li Rong's temple and whispered, "But it's okay, I'm already working."
Li Rong responded, Pei Wenxuan rubbed her acupuncture points, and she smelled the incense on Pei Wenxuan's cuff, which made her feel so peaceful. Pei Wenxuan looked at her expression and whispered, "His Royal Highness, shall we eat together?"
Li Rong nodded, Pei Wenxuan helped her up, and then his hand slid down, holding her lightly.
The cold winter made the temperature in his hands feel a little nostalgic. Li Rong was too tired to think. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw that she didn't speak or resist. He squinted at her and looked at her carefully. With a look on his face, he coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, are you eating in the bedroom or in the dining room?"
"You decide."
Li Rong listened to his words, regained her senses, and spoke softly. Pei Wenxuan immediately said, "Go to the bedroom."
Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw him come back so quickly. Only then did she look at him intently, and she realized that this winter, Pei Wenxuan was still wearing such a thin, jade-crowned and splendid shirt, as if it was still spring.
But I have to say that such Pei Wenxuan is very handsome. He pulls her forward, like a romantic young man who leads his lover on an outing, with a little silent youthful spirit in his tenderness. If she is a Little girl, if you look up like this, you will be able to look at it for a lifetime.
Li Rong's eyes fell on his face, and he led him into the room. When the door was opened, Li Rong saw the small table set up inside, the newly-loved Hanmei, and the specially prepared incense, and she knew it.
She didn't show her face, she just glanced at the serious Pei Wenxuan from the corner of her eye, pretended not to notice anything, went into the room, and said slowly, "It seems to be a bit colder today than before."
Pei Wenxuan responded, raised his hand and closed the door. He entered the house and said, "Indeed, I have people add charcoal fire, does Your Highness still feel cold?"
"I'm not cold," Li Rong looked up at him with a half-smile, "I'm just seeing you wearing thin, aren't you cold?"
"I'm strong and I don't spend much time outside," Pei Wenxuan said, walking into the room and sitting opposite Li Rong, "That's enough."
Li Rong nodded, but her heart was full of laughter.
Pei Wenxuan is a civil servant, she knows his ability, but if he wants to show his ability, she doesn't say anything, just say: "Let's eat."
With that, Li Rong raised her hand and dropped the chopsticks.
It was obvious that this meal took a lot of thought, but in the past, I didn’t think so. Today, Li Rong paid attention to it, and after reading it carefully, she realized that this meal is not only all she likes to eat, but also the meat and vegetables are well matched, which is in line with her habits. Coriander, thin slices of meat, and more chopped green onion.
Li Rong looked at it, not knowing whether to be surprised or relieved.
Pei Wenxuan lived with her for those years, but he knew her habits thoroughly.
Knowing her so well, it is really not difficult to poison her. Fortunately, he didn't have such thoughts back then, otherwise she would have died a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little scared and looked up at Pei Wenxuan.
The eyes were too complicated, and Pei Wenxuan felt a little hairy. He couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what do you see me doing?"
"I want to persuade you to eat more."
As Li Rong spoke, she casually asked Pei Wenxuan about some serious business. Pei Wenxuan answered them one by one. While answering, he did not forget to ask Li Rong some trivial matters: "Your Highness, did you receive yesterday's candied fruit?"
"received."
"how is the taste?"
"I didn't eat it, it was all divided by the subordinates."
Pei Wenxuan was blocked by this answer, and felt that the braised pork in the entrance was not fragrant.
So he couldn't help but ask again, "Your Highness, have you received the poem I wrote?"
"received."
Li Rong remembered the sour poems he wrote every day, and her teeth were a little sour. Seeing her response, Pei Wenxuan asked, "How do you feel, Your Highness?"
Li Rong looked up at him and saw that Pei Wenxuan seemed to be planning to write poems for her every day from now on, she hurriedly said, "Stop writing these things."
Li Rong persuaded him earnestly in the tone of an elder: "You have a great talent in the world, and you are always addicted to these elegant ways, I am afraid it will affect your mind, if you let others see you, they will think you are a poet, and you must feel that you only know Poetry, I don’t know politics. Look at the politicians who do things well, how many write these words of love and moon?”
Pei Wenxuan was so heartbroken by Li Rong's training that he couldn't help but say, "I only write it for His Highness."
"I understand," Li Rong nodded, pretending she didn't understand what he meant, and understood, "You don't dare to write it to others. I know you are measured."
Pei Wenxuan was speechless, Li Rong finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and said peacefully, "I'll go look at a few more booklets to digest, you'll be busy first."
Having said that, Li Rong stood up and walked out. Pei Wenxuan was sitting at the dining table, feeling a little annoyed.
It's really no fun to eat like this for a meal.
Li Rong took two steps, turned around, and saw Pei Wenxuan still sitting in his seat, with a somewhat lost back, so that Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little pity, she couldn't help laughing, and reminded: "You are still Wear more."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong watched him stand up, walked to the side skillfully, opened the cabinet, took out a thick coat, skillfully draped it over her body, and said blankly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's cold. Not with me."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan put on his coat and returned to the dining table, raised his chopsticks and started to eat.
Li Rong saw that he was so skilled in wearing a coat, and it was almost certain that he would not be cold.
Li Rong went back and looked at a few papers. After half an hour, she felt tired, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and walked back leisurely.
When he got to the room, Pei Wenxuan had already fallen asleep. Recently, he was also tired and didn't sleep well. Li Rong was not surprised.
Li Rong didn't light the lamp, she groped her way into the room and fell asleep gently.
Not long after she slept, she felt that the person beside her had turned over. Li Rong thought he didn't intend to, and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.
After a while, the man turned over again, as if a little unhappy.
Li Rong pretended to be sleeping soundly and didn't intend to ignore him.
No one knew what he was thinking about and got angry again. She offended him a lot, so he should think more about it himself.
Pei Wenxuan tossed and turned, and seemed a little angry. After waiting for a long time, Li Rong was in a daze, and felt that the person next to her suddenly got up and suddenly approached her.
He was aggressive, and before Li Rong could react, the man stopped.
Pei Wenxuan was hanging above her, and Li Rong held her breath, not knowing whether she should open her eyes to defend something, or close her eyes to avoid embarrassment.
The two were deadlocked for a moment, Pei Wenxuan frowned, and after a long time, Li Rong felt that this person lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly and tenderly.
He still seemed to be afraid that she would wake up, and he had to kiss her carefully.
People are very strange, if Pei Wenxuan puts the kiss on her lips, or even sticks her tongue in and there is a bit of a fight between desires, she will not think there is anything, and she will have a head-to-head contest. Not afraid.
But after kissing her forehead restrainedly and cautiously, and then with a low laugh, she left with satisfaction. She felt that the person was not kissing his forehead, but her heart.
Like a wave of autumn water swept by the wind, ripples appear layer by layer.
Li Rong didn't know what to do, so she blushed in the night, she couldn't help turning over and turned her back to Pei Wenxuan.
Seeing her turn over, Pei Wenxuan lay on his side on the bed, propped his head up, his eyes fell on her back, and he lowered his head and chuckled.
The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
Li Rong: "Are you cold?"
Pei Wenxuan: "I'm in good health and not cold."
Li Rong: "I just like you young people, you can say anything in order to pretend."
