Chapter 12 Request

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, the scrutiny in Emperor Qing's eyes gradually dissipated, and his expression seemed a bit gentler.

"What the prince said makes sense. If so, I will agree to it."

At this time, he saw that Li Chengqian was about to speak, but seemed to have unfinished meaning, so he asked, "Does the prince have anything else to ask for?"

At this moment, Li Chengqian did not feel the majesty of Emperor Qing, but instead felt a bit of care from a father.

This made him have some complicated emotions.

I sighed in my heart that Emperor Qing didn't seem to be a truly ruthless person.

Judging from past experience, if Emperor Qing was really cruel, both Fan Jian and Chen Pingping should have died shortly after Ye Qingmei's death.

After all, if Fan Jian and Chen Pingping truly trusted Emperor Qing, they would not have allowed Wu Zhu to take Fan Xian to Danzhou.

They had always suspected that there was a black hand behind what happened that year, and they were definitely not unaware of the pursuit of Emperor Qing, both overtly and covertly.

And how many people can be found in the entire Qing Kingdom who can hide among countless nobles, royal families, and relatives?

Ye Qingmei was killed all over the city. It sounds simple to say, but how many people could be responsible for this?

Emperor Qing was obviously not a fool, and was also very smart, so over the years, he must have been able to sense Fan Jian and Chen Pingping's suspicions about him from many clues.

But he felt that one was a good friend who grew up with him, and the other was an old slave when he was hiding in the mansion. Even if they guessed that he killed Ye Qingmei, they would not be able to become his enemy over a dead woman.

So although he had some trust in the Overwatch Council and the Tiger Guards trained by Fan Jian, he was still wary.

This is not only a kind of self-confidence, but also a cherishment of mutual friendship.

After all, at his level, there are very few people with whom he has close relationships.

Even at the last moment of his life, he spared Fan Xian's life even though he had the chance to kill him, and chose to look at his eyes under the black cloth of Wu Zhu.

As a result, he was killed directly by two lasers.

If he were cruel and paid a price, he would wipe out all the people related to Ye Qingmei after her death.

Given the status of Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, it is inevitable that there would be some disturbances when they died, but as long as he held the military power of the Qing Kingdom, there would never be any big disturbances.

Naturally, it is even less likely that he will be killed in the palace in the end.

What's more, Lin Gong could be easily killed in a manor outside the city, so why couldn't Fan Jian and Chen Pingping?

It is not difficult for an emperor with the might of a great master to kill two of his ministers silently.

He is even absolutely capable of creating some suitable venues and reasons for Fan Jian and Chen Pingping to die reasonably and legally.

Therefore, Emperor Qing may seem cold, but in fact he also has a warm side.

But in his heart, everything must make way for the imperial power.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian suppressed his thoughts. After a slight hesitation on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, since I want to publish a new newspaper, I need sufficient sources of information. Therefore, I hope that the Supervisory Yuan can assist me."

One or two, provide some files on people's livelihood and major events in various places, and the financial resources for starting up may need to be provided by the internal treasury."

Hearing this, Emperor Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. After a brief thought, he said in a deep voice: "Since it involves the Overwatch Council and the inner treasury, go and talk to Chen Pingping and the eldest princess in person. After the negotiation is completed, this is the deal."

This statement seemed to agree with Li Chengqian's request, but he did not say it to death.

After all, the Oversight Council and the Inner Treasury are both extremely important places in the Qing Kingdom.

The identity of the prince Li Chengqian is equally sensitive.

Wanting to interfere with the Overwatch Council and the Inner Treasury, even if it was just to establish a simple connection, was something he needed to consider carefully.

Let’s not mention the internal treasury for now, we just need to provide some starting silver, that’s all, it’s reasonable.

What's more, now that Li Yunrui has made it clear that he is on the side of the prince, with some silver, the prince may not even need to say it so straightforwardly. Li Yunrui is afraid that he will give it to him with an extremely high-sounding reason.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if the inner treasure is like this for the time being. Anyway, he has already made plans in his heart. Although the matter of marrying Lin Waner to Fan Xian two years ago was not settled for the time being due to the strong opposition of the old man Chen Pingping.

But once the time comes, he has his own way to advance this matter and take away the financial power of the inner treasury from Li Yunrui's hands.

Without the financial power of the inner treasury, Li Yunrui's support for the prince would not be of much significance.

It was the Control Yuan, on the other hand, that had made him feel like something was stuck in his throat in recent years.

Because he has vaguely noticed that the Overwatch Council seems to be gradually losing control and gradually becoming alienated from him.

This is not a good sign.

Since his son wanted to get help from the Supervisory Yuan, he also wanted to see what choice Chen Pingping would make.

Li Chengqian lowered his eyes, thinking about the key points, and bowed gratefully, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qing nodded slightly, said no more, and said calmly: "That's it, let's disperse the court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left the palace.

Eunuch Yao, who was looking a little chubby from the side, immediately stepped forward and said: "Retreat from the court!"

All the ministers bowed and then left one after another.

Li Chengqian waited for all the ministers to leave before leaving the Tai Chi Hall.

All the emotions on his face just now have disappeared and turned into calm.

As he walked out of the palace, he carefully recalled his performance in the palace just now and whether there were any omissions or mistakes.

On the other hand, he was thinking about the specific arrangements for the new paper.

Of course, the main thing is how to obtain the support of the Oversight Yuan and the inner treasury.

With the files of the Control Yuan and the money in the inner treasury, most of the new reports have been completed.

Needless to say, the inner banker only wants some start-up funds, and given his relationship with Li Yunrui, it is not difficult to do so.

The difficulty lies with the Control Yuan.

The Overwatch Council has the power and responsibility to monitor the world. Many secrets are recorded in the archives, but they have always been kept secret.

Even if what he wants is not the files containing important information, it is still unknown whether the Overwatch Council will agree to it.

Emperor Qing did not agree immediately, but asked him to talk to Chen Pingping. That was why.

Of course, there may be a hint of testing Chen Pingping's mind.

He knew very well that Xinbao was just a trivial matter in Emperor Qing's eyes, but it was about Chen Pingping and the Supervisory Yuan that made Emperor Qing suddenly pay attention to it.

He guessed that Emperor Qing probably wanted to test Chen Pingping's attitude with a trivial matter, so he came up with this intention.

This made him feel a little tired.

Sure enough, how can there be any family affection in front of Emperor Qing?

That short-lived love just now can never be true.
