Chapter 9 Entering the Palace

Author: Remnant Forest Tree

This three-foot-square piece of paper is actually the newspaper that was started to be run by the inner court after Emperor Qing changed the Qing calendar a few years ago.

All the contents must be approved by Emperor Qing personally before they can be released.

Except that at first, because of its novelty, it attracted many dignitaries to rush to buy it, they soon lost interest because of the rather boring content.

A thin piece of paper without any valuable content, just some scenic spots in various places, biographies of previous dynasty figures and the private lives of officials, was sold for one tael of silver.

What is the difference between it and Mingqiang?

Naturally, after the initial limelight, few people paid attention to it.

Nowadays, only a small number of newspapers are printed every few days and distributed to various places.

After all, this was the intention of Emperor Qing, so although it was boring, the important ministers of the imperial court, as well as him, the prince, would naturally ask for a special supply from the inner court to show their support.

Of course, although this newspaper is boring, Li Chengqian also learned about many new policies implemented by Emperor Qing after changing the Qing calendar in Yuan Dynasty.

Just by looking at it, even he, a novice who didn't know much about politics, could see two bright words in the so-called New Deal.

Nonsense.

The Ministry of War was changed to the Veterans Department, then to the Privy Council, then to the Military Academy, and finally changed back to the Ministry of War.

It changed over and over again, and the name changed a lot, but in the end it was still the same team as before.

But he wasn't surprised either.

Emperor Qing only listened to what Ye Qingmei said occasionally. He did not have the forward-looking knowledge and insight that Ye Qingmei did. No matter how smart he was, it was difficult for him to truly understand how to make what Ye Qingmei had mentioned.

become a practical policy.

It is said that it is difficult to draw the bones when painting a tiger's skin. This is probably the truth.

Just like this newspaper, Ye Qingmei once mentioned gossip news.

Emperor Qing printed some lace like flowing clouds on the edge of the newspaper.

It seems to be so-called gossip, but in fact it is not the same thing at all.

Of course, he is not interested in Emperor Qing's behavior, and the so-called New Deal is not something he can interfere with at the moment.

He was just a little interested in newspapers.

In the days to come, at least for a while, he will keep a low profile.

He will not interfere in political affairs, let alone the military, and the inner treasury will not have any thoughts for the time being.

But in addition to running the three-acre farmland in the East Palace, he always has to find something to do for himself outside.

Being low-key does not mean waiting for death and doing nothing.

As a prince of a country, you always have to develop some strength.

This newspaper was obviously not taken seriously by others, but he knew very well how powerful it would be after it developed.

Controlling newspapers is almost equivalent to controlling public opinion in the world.

Even if it will be subject to supervision, once it develops, the money that can be earned will be considerable.

If he wants to develop his power, he naturally needs sufficient financial support.

Although the inner treasury was controlled by Li Yunrui, the money in it was jointly supervised by Taichang Temple and the inner court. Li Yunrui could not use much of it. He could only earn some shady money by relying on the sales of the inner treasury and smuggling with the Northern Qi Dynasty.

And she herself has a lot of power to support, whether it is the so-called Junshan Society or Yan Xiaoyi's personal soldiers who are attached to her, they cannot do without this money.

Therefore, even if Li Yunrui could support him, he probably wouldn't be able to make much money.

In the end, he can only rely on himself.

If he can open up and expand the newspaper's sales, both prospects and profits will be rewarded hundreds or even a thousand times.

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with heat, and then he regained his composure.

When I went to meet Emperor Qing this time, I might be able to use this incident to test Emperor Qing's attitude.

You can also go and see what Emperor Qing thinks of him as the prince.

Throwing the newspaper aside, he closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, almost sinking into the soft cotton.

After the cotton fell, Izumo, who was standing quietly, naturally stretched out his two soft little hands and pressed them on his head with varying degrees of severity.



Early the next morning, Li Chengqian got up, cleaned up and washed under Izumo's service, and then put on a golden suit.

After all, this is a summons from the emperor, so it naturally needs to be sufficiently formal.

Outside the East Palace, the corresponding ceremonial guards were prepared one by one. Among the dozens of guards and several attendants, there was a golden sedan with dragon patterns.

Li Chengqian stepped onto the sedan chair. Amidst the soft shouts of an attendant, the twelve powerful-looking sedan bearers exerted their strength, and the team began to move.

Speaking of which, this was Li Chengqian's first time riding a sedan, and it was a twelve-carry sedan of this size.

In my memory, if Emperor Qing went on an official trip, he would have the highest-standard sixteen-carrying sedan.

It can be said that it is quite majestic.

Moreover, what surprised him was that the twelve bearers carried the sedan very skillfully and skillfully, and he could not notice the slightest bump or shake while sitting in the sedan.

Walking all the way, it was like walking on flat ground.

The neat steps of the twelve bearers are full of an indescribable rhythm, and they look quite beautiful and solemn.

Around him, dozens of guards were watching and listening in all directions, as if they were afraid that someone without eyesight might collide with the prince.

Along the way to the palace, there were occasionally eunuchs and maids who went out to buy things from the palace. When they saw him, they all knelt down and knelt down to him. Officials who rarely met him also paid homage one by one.

It must be said that for the first time outside the East Palace, he felt what a prince was, what power was, and what dignity was.

The East Palace and the Imperial Palace are separated by a wall, so within a short time, we arrived at the palace gate.

Looking up, the red palace walls seemed to be soaring high into the sky, which subconsciously gave rise to a sense of awe.

The dark doorway looked like the mouth of an unknown monster, trying to swallow something.

Li Chengqian had to admit at this moment that he felt a hint of awe.

Of course, awe does not mean fear, nor does it mean submission.

It's just that I feel a bit shocked and nervous about such a large-scale building.

As the prince stepped forward, the guards outside the palace gate knelt down and said in unison: "See your highness, the prince."

After Li Chengqian waved his hand, many guards quickly stood up and moved out of the way.

As a prince, he naturally does not need to search as carefully as other people. What's more, without the express order of Emperor Qing, no one present would have the qualifications to search the ceremonial chariot of the current prince.

Under the awed gazes of the palace gate guards, the group slowly entered the city cave and walked for a short distance. After exiting the city cave, they were faced with a square made of large bluestones.
