Chapter 505: Tiankeng

It wasn't until he walked out of the palace gate and got into the carriage that Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Xia Honghan still played a role in his education of the world, making him change from a budding newcomer who knew little about power and scheming to a famous child who would not be easily pitted.

If a few years ago, Xiao Jing, who was still curious about this kind of scene, would not have seen that this was a pit - a sinkhole that might bury the mirror newspaper and completely turn him into a soft rice man and squatting at home!

The silk silk that Song Qian gave him was not big, and there were naturally not many words on it, but every line of words seemed shocking to Xiao Jing.

The piles and pieces are all anecdotes about the princes, or the kind that can be successfully doxxed with a little investigation.

Chen Zhongwen's name is actually among them!

In addition, Chen Borui even gave instructions to him - which princes to praise, which princes to approve, and even arranged which things to take out and talk about.

Xiao Jing knew that if he really carried out this arrangement, then there would be an uproar in the market on the day the newspaper came out. If anyone else knows that he received instructions from the palace......

Then many contradictions that are still surging in the undercurrent will inevitably erupt on the table, and some careerists will definitely be unable to hold back and make things happen.

So, he can't obey his fate no matter what.

The establishment of the prince is the emperor's family affair. Looking at all dynasties, there are two kinds of people who will often be involved:

One is those courtiers who have stood in line because of family background and party formation, etc., and have to support a certain party and go to the black in the last way;

The other is the person who covets this opportunity and wants to gamble like a treasure in order to get lucky.

Instinctively, both of these practices are understandable.

However, although the outsiders who were too involved in this matter had the possibility of soaring or becoming a knight, a large part of them did not end up well.

Even if the Xia family was operating in secret, Xiao Jing was almost completely out of the matter, with a very detached position that could advance and retreat, and there was no need to wade into this troubled water.

Chen Borui will use this method to test, which means that he is ready. If Xiao Jing's attitude is not satisfactory, he would rather not save face for the Xia family at this juncture, and let the newspaper completely close the stall.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing even felt a sense of confidant in his heart - although the emperor did this out of the instinct to maintain his authority and eliminate all threats, Chen Borui, the emperor, really understood the importance of the mirror newspaper better than his father-in-law Xia Honghan.

After sending out his feelings, Xiao Jing pondered the information given by Chen Borui with a little gossip.

After thinking about it, he didn't see any clues from those operations, that is to say, the unfathomable emperor was still carrying out the unfinished layout, and no one could see what kind of calculation he was having in mind until the last moment.

This is also the way for the emperor to protect himself - his control over the court is declining, once the hole cards are opened early, the forces of all parties will turn the court into a battlefield, and then he is likely to face the tragic situation of "stopping the mortuary and attacking each other", and he will not even get a good end.

It is also worth mentioning that for the first time in this list, there is a voice reprimanding King Zhao, which is undoubtedly a very rare thing.

Although several places mentioning King Zhao are still dominated by Jiamian, Chen Borui didn't know what to think about, and finally gave up a few ugly words to his once favorite son.

Although Xiao Jing didn't accept the order, he knew that Chen Borui would definitely do something—when he thought of King Zhao's face that was about to turn the color of pig liver, his mood also turned cloudy. After a while, people outside the car even heard the sound of people in the car humming a ditty......

In the palace.

After resting for a long time, Chen Borui's spirit finally improved again.

Song Qian, who personally served him with the medicine, secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body...... The old slave dared to say that although Xiao Jing's pen was tight, His Majesty couldn't afford to delay the rest for him. Although these people have some skills, they do not have the courage to stir the world, and they only need a holy decree to clean them up and obey them, so why should Your Majesty bow down to everything......"

Chen Borui looked at Song Qian, whose eyes were red, and his tense facial lines softened.

He raised his hand with difficulty and patted Song Qian's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Song Companion, you have been by my side since I was born, and later you have accompanied me to sit on this throne from the Hidden Mansion, and you have made great contributions...... Your loyalty is unmatched, and I like to talk to you, but your vision of people is still a little worse. ”

Song Qian's tears almost burst out of his eyes. The emperor did not use the self-title of "I", indicating that he really just wanted to talk to the people around him about a few things.

"It's because it's important that I have to see his attitude with my own eyes to be reassured." Chen Borui took a breath and said, "The imperial court didn't pay attention to those tabloids at first, but I didn't expect Xiao Jing and some other people to gradually grow up. There are people behind them, and fifty percent of the public opinion in the world has been caught by them.

Once he has something to do, these people may intervene at a critical moment, and then there may be a miracle effect of the final word in a surprise situation. This matter has to be guarded against, but I am afraid that no one but myself will be able to restrain them, not even by holy decree.

Today's matter, I am very satisfied with that Xiao Jing, he is indeed an interesting person. I don't know what you think of him, but I always feel that there is an inexplicable arrogance in him - even if he behaves deferentially, when he speaks and looks at people, he gives people a sense of superiority, as if he looks down on everyone around him.

Such a person, if he accepts the order happily...... This is not loyalty, but it shows that he has the heart to get involved in the battle for succession, his previous indifference is just a disguise, and when the time is right, he will definitely come out and insert a kick. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Borui couldn't help but sneer: "If he respects the decree today, then as soon as the newspaper comes out, I will close his newspaper office no matter what." A person who has a plan against Qin and Twilight can help me speak up today, so tomorrow when I am seriously ill and unable to serve, who knows who his heart will be directed to and what he will do? ”

Because he said too much and consumed his energy, Chen Borui had to stop.

Song Qian helped him lie down and wanted him to rest for a while, but Chen Borui spoke again:

"I have made some achievements in governing the country, but I am always soft-hearted, so I left myself and my successor with that great trouble...... If you had started earlier, why would you have formed a situation where the tail could not be lost? ”

"Song Banban, it's almost time. The same vault that was discovered earlier...... Let's end it. ”
