The Princess Royal 度华年 Episode 24

Early in the morning, Pei Wenxuan put up a sign inviting talents outside his house, but until noon, no one came. On the other hand, the Su family's gate is like a city, bustling with activity. In order to snatch talents, Su Rongqing went to great lengths and even invited Prime Minister Su to take charge. Pei Wenxuan noticed that Su Rongqing's previous attitude of opposing the imperial examination had changed, and he was obviously deliberately trying to become his enemy, so he asked Tong Ye to attract students with financial rewards. As expected, many students rushed to sign up.

While Su Rongqing was teaching King Su his lessons, Concubine Rou suddenly came and informed Pei Wenxuan that he had changed his strategy, which gave them a huge shock. Su Rongqing reminded Concubine Rou that as long as nothing happens to her subordinates, she would just leave the rest to herself. That night, Su's father came to Shangguan Xu to discuss the candidate for the examiner. Shangguan Xu said that the emperor suppressed aristocratic families extremely severely, and the examiner could never come from aristocratic families, so the top priority was to find someone who was from a poor family and could be controlled by them.

Shangguan Ya heard the conversation and immediately informed Li Rong of the matter. Li Rong was very surprised after hearing this because Su Rongqing didn't care about this in her previous life. According to the situation in previous years, this year's imperial examination will produce a large number of talents on the Dragon and Tiger List. Pei Wenxuan's disciples will be all over the court after his birthday, making him full of wings. But Su Rongqing's sudden intervention made Li Rong realize that Pei Wenxuan's status must be promoted quickly.

Then Li Rong sent someone to invite Liu Chunhang from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He first showed kindness and power, and then recommended Pei Wenxuan to Liu Chunhang. Although Liu Chunhang was a lecherous person, he had a clear mind and understood immediately. He immediately said that whether the prince-in-law could enter the official department and take charge of the merit examination depended entirely on his personal ability, and he would handle it impartially. It was confirmed that Liu Chunhang would not take sides, which made Li Rong feel at ease, knowing that with Pei Wenxuan's talent and learning, he would be more than enough to become the main examiner.

On the other side, Su Rongqing sent someone to monitor the movements of the princess palace. After learning that Li Rong summoned Liu Chunhang alone, he simply followed the plan and ordered someone to pass a note to Concubine Rou, asking her to follow the plan. Su Ronghua sent something to Shangguanya, which made Shangguanya very excited. She thought she would get the signature of a handsome man in the capital, but she found that it was all Su Ronghua's boast and name. Li Rong couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

At the recommendation of the Su family and his son, Wang Houwen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs wrote Pei Wenxuan's name into the supplementary list and specifically circled it. Li Chunhang quickly told Li Rong, and Li Rong was relieved after hearing this. Although she was working for Pei Wenxuan, she felt very fulfilled inside. Jinglan thinks that Li Rong has fallen in love with Pei Wenxuan, so she cares so much without asking for anything in return.

In the morning court the next day, Wang Houwen announced that Su Rongqing had been appointed as the new Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Pei Wenxuan was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It was agreed that the person in charge of the sixth-grade examination would suddenly become a fourth-grade official. When Pei Wenxuan heard the news, he rolled his eyes in shock and fainted on the spot. There was chaos in the court.

Seeing this, Li Rong quickly calmed down, walked quickly to Pei Wenxuan, and asked the emperor to take Pei Wenxuan to a side hall to rest, and at the same time summoned the imperial doctor. After an examination, the imperial doctor told Li Rong that Pei Wenxuan needed to avoid overexertion and had recently avoided sexual intercourse. After hearing this, Li Rong blushed with embarrassment and still stayed by Pei Wenxuan's side silently.

Soon, the news that Pei Wenxuan fainted spread completely, but when he woke up, he was worried about the list, and Li Rong said that he did not have such great power to make him a minister. In fact, Su Rongqing deliberately pushed Pei Wenxuan to become the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, intending to trigger a backlash from the courtiers, make the emperor suspicious, and alienate the princess. No matter how powerful the inspector is, as long as the emperor is afraid, Li Rong's career in the court will come to an end.

After the morning court, Liu Hangchun took the initiative to apologize to Li Rong. Li Rong did not blame him too much. After all, Concubine Rou secretly manipulated the matter. The emperor was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Wenxuan's appointment as minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Li Rong personally went to the palace to face the emperor, requesting the withdrawal of Pei Wenxuan's official position, and explaining that there was someone behind the scenes who was driving a wedge between their father and daughter.

Although Concubine Rou appreciates Su Rongqing's talents, she always has doubts because she represents the interests of the family. In order to win Concubine Rou's trust, Su Rongqing promised to give the Inspectorate as a great gift. Xun Chuan, who was far away in the northwest, wrote to Li Chuan, revealing his current situation in the northwest, and named the sword given to him "Hongyu", which means that he was like a feather in the troubled times, and he was lucky enough to meet the prince and princess, and he was able to control his destiny. , realize the ambition of Honghu.

Soon, the emperor found out that the matter was related to Concubine Rou, and happened to hear Princess Huale criticizing Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong behind their backs, and was very angry. The emperor dismissed everyone, slapped Concubine Rou, and warned her that she was just a tool in his hands. If there was any betrayal, he would never tolerate her again. After the emperor left, Concubine Rou felt resentful and ordered people to look for the colorless, odorless, chronic poison sent by her family.
