Chapter 516 Lovesickness (1)

I miss you so much that I don’t know how to put it down.

Cui Du sat at the desk, holding the pen for a long time before lowering his head and swiping the pen.

He is used to using charcoal pens and slightly harder paper. The charcoal pens move quickly on the paper, and soon he draws a cute boy with big eyes, standing in the endless fields, looking into the distance. In the clouds.

There is a palace in the clouds, and a heroic and beautiful girl stands outside the gate of the vermilion palace. The boy and girl looked at each other across a distance.

There is not a single word on the entire page, and all my thoughts are poured into this painting.

After Cui Du finished the painting, he carefully folded it and put it in an envelope and sent it to the palace.

Nanyang Palace and the capital have always had special channels for delivering letters, which are much faster than ordinary fast horses. However, sending a reply consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, every time Cui Du wrote a letter, he would send it to the capital along with Chen Changshi's letter.

This restraint and meticulousness won Chen Changshi’s praise.

"Uncle Chang Ning is very sensible." Chen Changshi said to Feng Changshi: "The princess went to the capital for serious matters, and she spent all her energy and energy every day. Uncle Chang Ning stayed at the farm with peace of mind, and every day I was busy with my errands and wrote two letters to the princess, probably because I was afraid of disturbing the princess. "

Putting the princess first at all times and thinking about the princess in everything, this is the most suitable husband for the princess.

Feng Changshi smiled and said: "There are so many beautiful young men who came to ask for marriage, including noble young masters from aristocratic families, but our princess did not like any of them. She made a marriage agreement with Uncle Chang Ning early. She has not let down Chang Ning in the slightest. Uncle's affection."

Chen Changshi also smiled and immediately arranged for the letter to be delivered.

......

At this time, Jiang Shaohua was reading files in the Ministry of Punishment.

There are two capable ministers in the Criminal Department and there are no long-standing cases. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it. Jiang Shaohua then ordered Yang Shilang to move all the files from the Ministry of Punishment in the past six months.

The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of Daliang Judicial Prison. When a homicide occurs in any state or county, a file must be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review and filing. From the number of files, we can roughly see how many major cases have occurred in Daliang in the past six months.

Documents were piled on the wooden case, half as tall as a person. Jiang Shaohua casually took a file and asked casually: "Shilang Yang, how many files are there in total here?"

Shilang Yang replied: "Back to the princess, there are one hundred and sixty-nine files here. ”

In other words, there are a total of one hundred and sixty-nine murder cases.

"Are there more and more murder cases?" Jiang Shaohua looked at Yang Shilang.

Shilang Yang sighed, nodded and said: "Yes. I dare not hide it from the princess. Not every murder case is reported. If a major murder case occurs in every county, the county governor The order will be recorded by the Ministry of Personnel, and the assessment at the end of the year will be greatly affected. Therefore, it is common for murder cases to be concealed.”

“One hundred and sixty-nine cases were submitted within half a year, and the number that was concealed was at least twice that number.”

What a shocking number this is.

Jiang Shaohua’s eyebrows were condensed and silent.

Yang Shilang continued in a low voice: "This is all because of frequent natural disasters. Just for a bite to eat, you dare to kill people and steal food. I know that the princess has been trying her best to promote new food to relieve the people in the north. However, the twenty states in the north, always There are things that the princess cannot take into account. The princess has no regrets, so there is no need to blame herself for it."

Jiang Shaohua said lightly: " The princess really does not need to blame herself. What should be blamed is the princes in the court. People are uneasy and the people are resentful. All the ministers should work together to manage the court and run the errands so that the people can live without worries. Days. But Yang Shilang knows better than anyone else what it's like in the court."

Yang Shilang was speechless.

The party struggle in the court is fierce. In the past six months, the Queen Mother's party and the Prime Minister's party have almost been at odds with each other, causing unseemly quarrels. The reputation of Empress Dowager Zheng was ruined, Duke An Guo was impeached and introspected behind closed doors, Prime Minister Wang suffered heavy losses, his son was imprisoned for several months, his position as governor was lost, and his future was ruined. General Zuo went from being the commander of the frontier army to the commander of the Divine Guard Battalion. The difference during this period is more than a thousand miles.

After the princess came, she tried her best to suppress the situation and finally achieved temporary stability. When the princess returns to Nanyang County, it is hard to say whether Emperor Taihe can suppress the ministers and stabilize the situation...

These thoughts flashed through Yang Shilang's mind, but he could not complain to him. mouth.

Shilang Yang calmed down and said respectfully: "The princess always cares about the people, and her kindness and love for the people are admired by me."

Jiang Shaohua is not in the mood to talk about these frivolous guests anymore. I kept talking and continued reading the files.

In the next few days, besides reading files, Jiang Shaohua wandered around various departments of the Ministry of Punishment. Regardless of how much she can understand, in short, since she is in the Ministry of Punishment, all officials in the Ministry of Punishment are much more diligent.

Yang Shilang is still investigating the assassin case, but he has been unable to find any useful clues. It seems that it will become an "unsolved case" again.

"Princess," Qin Hu quietly came over and whispered: "A letter has arrived from Nanyang County."

Jiang Shaohua frowned and took a few letters from Qin Hu.

The first letter is from Chen Changshi, and the second letter is from Feng Changshi. His father Lu Xuan, who was unwilling to be lonely, would write letters every time. The letters were full of indifferent nonsense. It didn't matter whether he read them or not.

The last letter was a letter from her fiancé, Ningbo Cuidu.

Jiang Shaohua looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, a smile flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth raised.

What a coincidence, the person from Zhongshu She who is accompanying us today is Zheng Chen.

Zheng Sheren has excellent eyesight. He glanced at the name on the envelope from a distance of nine feet. There was a hint of sourness in his tone: "Did Uncle Chang Ning write to the princess?"

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows slightly: "We are an unmarried couple, what's so strange about communicating with each other."

>Zheng Chen choked and felt unhappy, but he didn't even have the position or qualification to be jealous.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at Zheng Chen: "I heard that the Zheng family and the Fan family have discussed marriage, and a betrothal gift will be issued soon. I, the princess, must congratulate Zheng Sheren for this good match."

Zheng Chen is still a good match after all. Just like in the previous life, I wanted to marry Fan Jianing.

General Fan became the commander-in-chief of the border army and became the number one figure in the army. He had military power and was very important in the court. The marriage between the Zheng and Fan families was something Empress Dowager Zheng was happy to see happen.

Zheng Chen and Jiang Shaohua looked at each other: "Both each other, I also want to congratulate the princess, who is about to recruit a son-in-law. In the future, he will pass on the incense to the Nanyang Palace."

Jiang Shaohua smiled lightly: " It is my princess’s greatest wish to continue the Nanyang Palace.”

"I want to go back to the palace. Can Zheng Sheren go back to the palace with me?"

"If I want to go back to Duke Anguo's mansion, I will not go with the princess."

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and rode his horse back to the palace. Zheng Chen then turned his horse's head and headed towards Anguo Duke's Mansion.

The two went in opposite directions, getting further and further apart.
