Emperor Qing strode out with the imposing presence of a dragon and the powerful stride of a tiger.
He sat regally on the throne.
Today's grand assembly has officially begun.
Since it was a grand court assembly, the matters discussed were naturally of great importance.
For example, the floods in Jiangnan,
For example, drought in the two states,
For example, the response to the incursions of the Xihu.
Li Chengqian listened in silence, only able to sigh.
Kyoto may seem like a peaceful and tranquil place,
Daily singing and dancing rise up,
In reality, the entire Qing Kingdom faces many troubles.
And at this moment,
Li Chengqian realized that
Just how important is the existence of the inner treasury to the Qing Kingdom?
Money is needed everywhere.
Relying solely on the taxes collected by the Ministry of Revenue,
It is simply not capable of supporting the normal operation of the Qing Kingdom.
Therefore, the role of the internal treasury as a money bag becomes extremely prominent.
He had already anticipated this.
The initial funding for launching the new newspaper came from the internal treasury.
Therefore, no matter how well the newspaper is run,
Is it a dismal failure or a booming success?
People always find fault with the fact that I spend money from the imperial treasury.
Just then,
A minor official of the fifth rank suddenly stepped forward.
With a solemn expression, he knelt down.
He said loudly:
"Your subject, Cao Renqi, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, risked his life to impeach the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, many court officials in the Taiji Hall changed their expressions.
For a time,
Many eyes fell on Li Chengqian.
There was surprise, a frown, and worry.
Some even gloated.
See here,
Many people had already guessed it.
What is the matter that Cao Renqi wants to impeach?
Nothing more than,
This was the most popular newspaper in Kyoto at that time.
To be honest, given the influence that the newspaper is currently demonstrating,
While many people are envious, they are also very wary.
I went out and met five people, and three of them were talking about the newspaper.
How terrifying!
Faced with countless different gazes,
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, appeared quite indifferent.
At this moment, Cao Renqi looked worried.
After tidying up his clothes,
He then said in a deep voice:
"The Crown Prince's newspaper is a huge hit; everyone in the capital knows about it!"
"If this were promoted, it could easily cause a nationwide uproar!"
"Is this not a sign of treacherous intent, plunging our Great Qing into turmoil?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in the court were suddenly moved.
That's really harsh.
Harbouring evil intentions?
What malicious intent?
Although Cao Renqi didn't say it...
But it all boils down to nothing more than rebellion.
Is he crazy?
Impeaching the Crown Prince to stage a rebellion?
Emperor Qing sat expressionless on the dragon throne.
A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes.
He was well aware of the influence of the newspaper.
But impeaching the crown prince for rebellion
That's complete nonsense.
This kind of attention-seeking person
A murderous intent had already arisen in his heart.
This person is clearly a disciple of the Second Prince. Has Li Chengze gone mad, allowing him to speak so recklessly?
Today, Cao Renqi's actions...
It was indeed at the behest of the Second Prince.
In return, they would enjoy a worry-free life of food and clothing for the rest of their days.
Because of his background and age.
The fifth-rank official position is basically the pinnacle of one's career.
Why not trade a successful career for a comfortable life in the future?
Emperor Qing's gaze swept over Cao Renqi.
It then passed by Li Chengze, who seemed to be full of surprise.
Ultimately, the answer fell on Li Chengqian, who remained calm and composed.
The Crown Prince seems to have really changed a lot.
If it were any other time,
Faced with such impeachment,
They would probably have already knelt down in fear and offered explanations repeatedly.
Now he has quite a bit of poise about him.
At this time,
Cao Renqi then said seriously:
"I believe that the Crown Prince should take the initiative to submit the new report to the court and have all officials supervise it."
"Only in this way can we show the Crown Prince's loyalty to His Majesty."
Cao Renqi naturally knew this as well.
What I said earlier went a bit too far.
Therefore, these words were his way of saving himself.
He believes,
The entire court of civil and military officials,
Or perhaps it was Emperor Qing.
I'm afraid none of them would want the Crown Prince to control the new newspaper.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking,
The expressions of the officials in the court became strange.
For a time,
The atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was somewhat subtle.
These words,
But this puts Crown Prince Li Chengqian on the hot seat of adversity.
8 It seems that as long as the Crown Prince doesn't hand over the new newspaper,
5. It means that he was thinking of plotting a rebellion.
The second prince secretly felt pleased with himself.
