Li Yunrui can no longer openly enter and leave the Eastern Palace.
That's why I had no choice but to end this kind of life.
at the same time,
A message also came from the palace.
The Crown Prince has been absent from court assemblies for a long time due to illness.
Now that you have fully recovered,
I should attend the next morning assembly.
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Chengqian then got up.
After Yuzare helped him tidy up and wash,
She changed into a gorgeous golden robe.
This is, after all, attending a court assembly, so it naturally requires sufficient formality.
Outside the East Palace, the corresponding ceremonial guards were also prepared in full.
Among the dozens of guards and several attendants was a golden sedan chair adorned with dragon patterns.
Li Chengqian stepped into the sedan chair, and with a little effort from the twelve strong sedan chair bearers, the procession began to move.
They encountered eunuchs and palace maids who were out of the palace to make purchases.
Upon seeing him, they all immediately knelt down and kowtowed in greeting.
Some officials would also pay their respects to them when they encountered them.
"have to say."
"Being the crown prince feels pretty good!"
Feeling the weight of honor and power, Li Chengqian smiled faintly.
But soon, his attention...
It landed on a thin sheet of paper, about three feet square, that had been placed in the sedan chair from the beginning.
This thin paper,
It was actually a newspaper that Emperor Qing had heard about from Ye Qingmei before her death.
However, it was only a few years ago that the inner court began to handle it.
The contents,
Everything had to be reviewed by Emperor Qing before it could be published.
Aside from the initial novelty,
After attracting many high-ranking officials and nobles to compete for purchase,
Soon, they lost interest due to the boring content.
On a thin sheet of paper,
There is no valuable content.
It only lists scenic spots and historical sites from various places.
Biographies of figures from previous dynasties, etc.
It's going to sell for one tael of silver!
What is the difference between this and Mingqiang?
Naturally, after the initial hype died down, few people paid any attention to it anymore.
But this was, after all, Emperor Qing's will.
So although it's boring,
However, the important officials of the court, as well as he, the crown prince, would naturally buy one each time.
but,
Emperor Qing clearly did not anticipate the true power this newspaper would bring.
He Bing lacked Ye Qingmei's far-sighted insight and understanding of the times.
Just like this newspaper,
Ye Qingmei once mentioned gossip.
Emperor Qing printed some lace-like patterns along the edges of the newspaper, resembling flowing clouds.
It looks like what's called tabloid news.
In reality, they are not the same thing at all.
But Li Chengqian was very clear about it.
How much power do newspapers actually have once they develop?
Controlling the newspapers is almost equivalent to controlling public opinion.
Moreover, once it develops, the money it can earn will be considerable.
If he can expand and increase the newspaper's sales,
Then, in terms of both prospects and benefits, the returns will be hundreds or even thousands of times greater.
Right then,
A voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Ding!"
"A fate-defying event has been detected that the host has triggered it."
"Task: Promote newspapers."
"Timeframe: Increase newspaper circulation by 10 copies within three months."
"Reward: You will be entered into a prize draw upon completion."
"If the deadline is exceeded or the quantity is insufficient, the task will fail."

Chapter 6 A man in power finds himself in trouble.
006 people are standing in the middle of the court, and a pot falls from the sky.
Li Chengqian was taken aback.
I glanced at the information issued by the system.
10 units sold within three months?
Wouldn't that be tantamount to making the newspaper a sensation throughout Kyoto?
After thinking about it,
Li Chengqian quickly came up with a bold idea.
A flicker of passion crossed his eyes, which quickly returned to calm.
This time, I went to meet Emperor Qing.
Perhaps we can use this incident to test Emperor Qing's attitude.
You can also go and see for yourself what Emperor Qing really thinks of him as the crown prince.
Li Chengqian casually tossed the newspaper aside, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, after a swaying and bumping journey...
We entered the imperial palace gates.
Li Chengqian and his entourage arrived at the square.
As you proceed straight ahead, the magnificent Taiji Hall comes into view.
The Taiji Hall, covered by golden glazed tiles, appears as if it were cast from gold.
It was filled with an atmosphere of magnificence, yet also solemnity.
Li Chengqian waited until he arrived at the destination and alighted from his sedan chair.
As a eunuch entered the Taiji Hall,
Only then did they discover that many ministers were already present in the Taiji Hall.
However, since it wasn't time for the morning court session yet...
So Emperor Qing has not yet appeared.
With the arrival of the crown prince
After the court officials noticed this,
They all raised their hands and bowed.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
This shows an attitude of alienation.
He walked to a spot on the left, between the ministers and the dragon throne.
This is the place where he once stood when he listened to the court proceedings.
Some ministers looked at him with a strange expression.
