Chapter 30: Questioning
Li Chengqian pulled the corners of his mouth, what do I think? I stood and watched.
He was full of slander.
Emperor Qing's hand pushed the boat along the river was quite skillful.
Sure enough, even Emperor Qing is not without ideas about this new newspaper.
The meaning of this Cao Ren's worries has come to this point, as long as he does not hand over the new newspaper to the imperial court, he has bad intentions and intends to rebel.
What else could he think?
However, at the moment, it seems that the ministers are surging, but in fact, the six Shangshu and a few bigwigs above the court have not made any remarks.
Chen Pingping, who was only a few meters away from him, was also sitting quietly in a wheelchair, as if everything in the court had nothing to do with him.
But Li Chengqian knew in his heart that Chen Pingping may not have intervened in it, and the rest of the people may not, including Lin Ruofu, who has been quiet so far.
Half of the court members are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and if the turbulent scene of this group of ministers has nothing to do with Lin Ruofu, he doesn't believe it.
While sending Lin Heng to work in the Fuyao Newspaper Museum, he secretly poked and poked the idea of the Fuyao Newspaper Museum.
It's really a good calculation.
Of course, it's hard to say how much of this came from the man on the dragon chair.
Lin Ruofu has been the prime minister for many years, and there must be an amazing tacit understanding between him and Emperor Qing.
Today's Qingguo is known as a prosperous world, with ten years of smooth wind and rain, and the country is rich and the people are safe.
There are many titles of the so-called first Ming Jun in the ages, the first ruler in the ages, but correspondingly, there is also the corrupt officialdom known as the first in the ages, and the first traitor in the ages.
Emperor Qing is the first emperor of the ages, and Lin Ruofu is the treacherous appearance that everyone scolds.
It doesn't make sense.
But it also makes a lot of sense.
Because the problem of Qingguo is real.
So who bears the question?
Of course, Emperor Qing can't, so the prime minister who commands hundreds of officials and has great power is naturally the best person to take the blame.
It can be said that Lin Ruofu endured a part of the infamy that he should not bear for Emperor Qing.
This kind of dedication, coupled with the increasingly large civil and official system around him, as well as his own speculation on the holy will and the tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers, is the fundamental reason why he can really stand in the Qingguo court for decades.
With his power, with just a hint, it is enough to easily form a scene like the one that is now like a wall falling down and everyone pushing it.
Even, in today's scene, there is still Li Yunrui's secret promoter.
Secretly, Li Yunrui and him seem to be blending oil in honey, and they can't wait to stick together day by day.
But when it comes to interests, Li Yunrui is by no means a person who values the love of his children.
The momentum of the new newspaper is so strong that Emperor Qing can't help but be moved, how can Li Yunrui turn a blind eye?
Once this new newspaper is returned to the imperial court, then the new newspaper developed with the help of the internal treasury funds, who will end up with the highest probability is Li Yunrui.
In this way, it seems to be a left-handed hand-to-right-handed, but the meaning is completely different.
Li Chengqian stood here quietly, only to feel that the undercurrents above the court were rising and falling, raising his eyes and looking around, where did he come from?
Everyone has their own plans, everyone has their own plans.
It is not unreasonable that those in power have been lonely since ancient times.
At this moment, he somewhat understood that Emperor Qing wanted to rule the world with the emperor's heart.
There is a wall between people's hearts, and trust is both precious and stupid.
Especially in the body of an emperor.
To govern the court, personal force is far from enough, and people's calculation is the mainstream.
Li Chengqian let out a slow breath, if he was to be a king in such a court in the future, he was not sure if he could adapt to such a day.
Luckily, he was able to recruit people who were familiar with history and gain their loyalty.
In this way, at least, he can give his trust without any pressure.
He raised his head and looked at Emperor Qing, and his clear voice sounded slowly.
"Erchen thinks that all the ministers are the pillars of the country, and the influence of Xinbao is very great, and they have both doubts and take it for granted.
Therefore, Erchen was willing to hand over the Fuyao Times to the imperial court for management. β
Hearing this, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned, what do you mean? New newspaper changed its name?
Emperor Qing asked with some surprise: "Fuyao Times?" β
Li Chengqian calmly explained: "Two days ago, Xinbao was split into Fuyao Times and Fuyao Wenbao, the former publishing national events, current affairs, and local policies, while the latter was mostly clumsy works written by literati, a small number of short stories, and a long article.
Erchen believes that the Times is related to people's livelihood and politics, and should indeed be managed by the imperial court, while the newspapers are just a trick done by some rural villagers, and should be insignificant. β
His words were light-hearted, but the Manchu ministers were not fools.
The reason why the new newspaper is so popular is not because of the so-called people's livelihood politics, but because of the newspapers run by the inner court of those things.
The real source of the Xinbao's popularity is what Li Chengqian said was the trick that the so-called mountain and wild villagers had done on the table.
is a broken arm to survive, it seems that the prince is not unprepared for the current situation.
But where will the Manchu ministers recognize it?
A group of ministers were digesting what Li Chengqian said, and the imperial history of an inspectorate had already stood up directly and said: "The prince is well aware of the righteousness, and the ministers admire it, but since the new newspaper has been handled, all the expenses have come from the inner treasury, and the inner treasury is where the country's financial power lies, and every penny is not easy to come by. β
Hearing this, several people looked quite strange.
The Inspectorate is in the hands of the eldest princess of Xinyang, and since this person is from the Inspectorate, if it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
Li Yunrui keeps saying that he supports the prince, but this backstab is really interesting.
And with the first one to come out, the person who just spoke out is naturally not far behind.
They all spoke out in agreement.
Chen Pingping, who was above the right head of the hundred officials, raised her eyelids, glanced at Li Chengqian, smiled without a trace, and said in her heart, in this way, how will you deal with it?
On the dragon chair, Emperor Qing did not speak, but his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, waiting for his response.
Li Chengqian smiled, but there was no anger of betrayal, between him and Li Yunrui, except for the dewy feelings, there was no real heart-to-heart relationship.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's not that Erchen doesn't want to hand over the Times and the newspaper to the imperial court in its entirety, in fact, this Wenbao no longer belongs to Erchen, because two days ago, this Wenbao was sold by Erchen. β
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.
Someone jumped out and said: "It's ridiculous, this is the benefit of the country, how can it be sold to others?" β
"Yes, damaging the public and private interests, this is a big crime, even the prince can act so recklessly!"
