Chapter 11: The New Newspaper

Emperor Qing said lightly: "The crown prince is the foundation of a country, as the prime minister, you are in charge of hundreds of officials, why can't you make suggestions?" ”

Lin Ruofu hesitated slightly, and then said aloud: "Then the old minister boldly said two words. He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking, and soon, he spoke: "Although the prince has reached the crown, but has no experience in dealing with political affairs, if the prince wants to enter the hundred officials, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, the army is suffering, I am afraid that the prince's noble body will be injured, the old minister thinks about it, but the inner library is more suitable." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man with a solemn face, upright facial features, and a four-inch beautiful hair on his chin, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, immediately stood up and said solemnly: "This is a big fallacy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, how can he do such a filthy businessman?" There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and there are countless positions of all sizes, how can there be no place for the prince to do things? Lin Ruofu, as the prime minister, how can you be so stupid? ”

In the entire court, except for Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervision Yuan, who did not attend today, only Sinan Bofan Jian, who grew up with Emperor Qing since childhood, dared to call Lin Ruofu's name so loudly and compete with him.

Lin Ruofu glanced at Fan Jian with a slight surprise, and couldn't help but think of the fact that the other party entered the palace two years ago to ask to see His Majesty, and wanted his daughter Lin Wan'er to marry his illegitimate child.

Back then, the guy wanted his bastard son to take over Neku.

In fact, he still didn't understand why His Majesty would agree to let his daughter marry a mere illegitimate son of Sinambo, and even give Neku to that little-known illegitimate son.

This simply does not make sense.

It doesn't make sense either.

At the same time, Chen Pingping was extremely opposed to this matter for some reason, and hurriedly entered the palace the next day, causing His Majesty to cancel this will.

An illegitimate child who has never shown up easily involved several important ministers in the Qingguo court.

Now, he said on his face that he wanted Li Chengqian to go to the inner treasury, but he knew very well that Emperor Qing would never let Li Chengqian, who was the crown prince, take over the inner treasury, so everything he said was actually just putting Li Chengqian in a very awkward position.

But he didn't expect that Fan Jian, who had never spoken easily, would react so violently.

It seems that as long as Li Chengqian has the slightest possibility of taking over the inner library, he will not agree to it, nor will he allow this possibility.

For a moment, Lin Ruofu thought a lot, and in the end, he didn't speak, but bowed down, waiting for Emperor Qing to speak.

Emperor Qing glanced at Fan Jian, the corners of his mouth pulled inadvertently, and he didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on Li Chengqian's body and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”

Suddenly, Li Chengqian felt an invisible pressure rushing towards him, if he was an ordinary person, he would not even be able to speak smoothly under this majesty.

Thinking of the fear of the predecessor of Emperor Qing in his memory, he had a lot of understanding and recognition.

Recalling the appearance of his predecessor when he faced Emperor Qing in his memory, he immediately fell to his knees with a pop, and said with a little pale and panic: "Everything about the sons comes from Your Majesty, what Your Majesty wants the sons to do, the sons will do whatever they want, how dare you be good at it." ”

When the words fell, a little sigh and disdain appeared in the hearts of most of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The prince of a country, such a weak character is not a good thing.

Emperor Qing's face was also a little unsightly, although he was a little stricter, and he also hoped that the prince would respect him and fear him, but he didn't want the prince with high hopes to become an echo worm.

With such a character, how can he pass on the throne with confidence?

With a bang, he slapped the case and said sharply: "Look at what you have become, stand up!" ”

Li Chengqian stood up tremblingly under the anger of Emperor Qing, his face became more and more pale, but he became more and more calm in his heart, and even secretly complacent about his acting skills, and his acting was at least seven points similar.

But whether it should be said or not, when this body faced Emperor Qing, it seemed to be instinctively very afraid.

Emperor Qing's eyes showed a look of hatred that iron could not become steel, and he said in a deep voice: "You are not young anymore, but you don't do your job all day long, you only know how to play, don't you have anything you want to do at all?" ”

Under Emperor Qing's anger, the court was silent, and it was rare for the ministers to see His Majesty so angry. I only felt that the power was so powerful that they were almost out of breath, and they couldn't help but lower their heads and secretly swallow and spit at the mouth.

In the silence, Li Chengqian stood up quite firmly, raised his head, looked at Emperor Qing, and said slowly with a little trepidation and firmness: "Your Majesty, Erchen wants to go to the newspaper. ”

Newspaper?

A trace of doubt appeared in the minds of the ministers, but they soon remembered what a newspaper was.

Isn't it the thing that His Majesty asked the inner court to do is almost unpopular and is purely in vain?

The ministers couldn't help but shake their heads.

They were still a little different at Li Chengqian's courage to speak out under the pressure of Emperor Qing, but at this moment, they all scoffed.

Sure enough, it's a plaything, I don't know what to say.

However, Emperor Qing restrained the anger on his face and calmed down.

He stared at his son, who had been a little weak in the past, and a little appreciation gradually appeared in his eyes.

Being able to look at him under pressure for so long was a bit unexpected for him.

It seems that after the infection, I have grown a little.

He was indeed angry when he heard about sneaking into those inconsistencies and places, but it had come to this point, and if he could make progress, he didn't have to be too harsh.

As for newspapers, he had heard Ye Qingmei roughly talk about the role of newspapers, so he would personally spend energy to review the content published by newspapers run by the inner court.

However, in the past few years, he has not seen much of the role of newspapers, and the cost is not small.

Tepid and rarely cared, he actually had some thoughts on suspending the newspaper.

It's just that for some thought, it's been maintained.

Li Chengqian's request can be regarded as sharing his worries by making such a request.

Moreover, this matter does not involve government affairs, nor does it involve military affairs, and it will not hurt to hand it over regardless of success or failure.

At the same time, he can also take advantage of this matter to see the ability of the prince he has chosen.

It can be said that there is no harm in all benefits.

The only thing that made him a little worried was that the newspaper was supervised by the inner court, and if it was handed over to Li Chengqian, it meant that the other party could put his hand into the inner court.

The Inner Court is his body that checks and balances the Supervisory Yuan, and its position is extremely important.

Even the Supervisory Yuan doesn't want the royal family to interfere, let alone the inner court?

After a little muttering, he said slowly: "Does the prince want to take over from the inner court?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart tightened, and he obviously sensed the meaning of scrutiny from Emperor Qing's eyes.

After he sorted out the words in his belly a little, his emotions precipitated slightly, and then he said clearly: "Your Majesty, Erchen has no such intention, although the newspaper has not been published for a long time, but Erchen has already seen the benefits of educating the world and enhancing experience.

If there is only one newspaper in the inner court, it will be a little less prosperous.

Therefore, Erchen dared to start a new newspaper to try. ”
