She often contradicted him.
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince intends to abandon this elderly Minister of Rites and instead support someone else?
Thinking of this, Guo Youzhi's gaze turned somewhat sinister.
In the silent Taiji Hall,
Emperor Qing glanced at Li Chengqian, whose expression remained calm.
Then he landed on Lu Yuan and slowly said:
“What you say makes sense. The Crown Prince has come of age, and it is time for him to do some serious work.”
After saying that, he paused.
His gaze calmly fell on Lin Ruofu.
"What does Your Excellency think the Crown Prince should do?"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's question, he immediately bowed respectfully.
He said with a slightly fearful tone:
"This matter will be decided by His Majesty's word; how dare this old minister offer any advice to the Crown Prince?"
Emperor Qing said calmly, "The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. As the Prime Minister, you command all officials. What is there to be afraid of?"
Lin Ruofu hesitated for a moment, then said loudly:
"Then this old minister will boldly say a few words."
He seemed to be thinking, and soon...
"Although the Crown Prince is of age, he has little experience in handling political affairs."
"But the army suffers hardships, and there is a fear that it may harm the Crown Prince's noble health."
"After much deliberation, this old minister believes that the Imperial Treasury is more suitable."
The words just fell,
A person with a solemn face and regular features,
He had a tuft of beard on his chin.
A man who appeared to be around forty or fifty years old immediately stepped forward and said in a solemn voice:
"No! The inner treasury manages money, and its affairs are extremely trivial."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is of noble birth and should be concerned with the affairs of the state. How could you do such a thing?"
"Lin Ruofu, how can you be so foolish as prime minister?"
Apart from Chen Pingping, the head of the Control Yuan, who was absent today, the entire court was filled with people.
Only Fan Jian, the Earl of Sinan, who grew up with Emperor Qing since childhood,
They dared to address Lin Ruofu by his full name so directly.
Lin Ruofu glanced at Fan Jian with some surprise.
He couldn't help but recall the incident two years ago when the other party entered the palace to request an audience with His Majesty, wanting his daughter Lin Wan'er to be betrothed to his illegitimate son.
At that time,
This guy wants his illegitimate son to take over the treasury.
He still doesn't understand.
Why did His Majesty agree to let his daughter marry Si Nanbo, a mere illegitimate son?
They even wanted to hand over the inner treasury to that illegitimate son they had never met.
This is completely illogical!!!
Simultaneously,
For some reason, Chen Pingping was extremely opposed to this matter.
The next day, he hurriedly entered the palace and ordered His Majesty to cancel the decree.
An illegitimate child who has never appeared in public.
This easily stirred up the most influential ministers in the Qing Kingdom's court.
Now, he openly tells Li Chengqian to go to the Imperial Treasury.
But he knew very well that
Emperor Qing would never allow the Crown Prince to take over the Imperial Treasury.
Therefore, everything he said,
In reality, it simply put Li Chengqian in a very awkward position.
But he didn't expect that,
Fan Jian, who rarely speaks, reacted so strongly.
I strongly disagree with the Crown Prince interfering in the Imperial Treasury.
Lin Ruofu ultimately did not speak in rebuttal.
Instead, they waited quietly for Emperor Qing to speak.
Emperor Qing glanced at Fan Jian,
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Li Chengqian and asked, "What does the Crown Prince think?"
Immediately, Li Chengqian felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him.
An ordinary person would probably wet themselves under such power.
After all, the Grandmaster's direct gaze...
Not everyone can bear this responsibility.
But Li Chengqian, who also possessed the cultivation of a Grandmaster, was not afraid at all.
However, one still has to put on an act.
Li Chengqian knelt down with a thud:
"Everything I have comes from Your Majesty. Whatever Your Majesty wishes me to do, I will do."
The words fell,
Most of the officials in the court felt a sense of regret and disdain.
The crown prince of a country
How could someone have such a weak personality?!
Emperor Qing's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Although he was somewhat strict, he hoped the crown prince would respect him.
But he didn't want his crown prince to become a mere yes-man.
With a bang,
Emperor Qing slammed his hand on the imperial desk.
He shouted sternly, "Look at the state you've become! Stand up!"
Li Chengqian stood up shakily, his face growing even paler.
However, in her heart, she secretly cheered for her outstanding acting skills.
"Exciting! Brilliant!"
"What a pity, this isn't filming a movie or a live broadcast!"
"Otherwise, I should at least win a Best Actor award, or even be called a veteran actor!"
Emperor Qing said with exasperation:
"You're an adult, yet you spend your days doing nothing productive. Don't you have anything you want to do?"
When Emperor Qing was enraged, the court fell silent.
The ministers didn't dare to utter a sound, let alone raise their heads.
No one dared to look directly at the wrath of Heaven.
In the midst of silence,
Li Chengqian stood up straight with great determination, raised his head, and looked at Emperor Qing.
The veteran actors' performances were consistently excellent.
Feigning some fear and helplessness, he said:
"Your Majesty, I wish to start a newspaper."
Brothers, new book launch, need your data support!

Chapter 8 Promoting the New Newspaper
008 launched a new newspaper.
newspaper?
A question arose in the minds of the ministers.
But he quickly remembered what a newspaper was.
Isn't that the one His Majesty ordered the inner court to handle?
Is it something that's almost completely ignored and a complete waste of money?
