This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 807 Volume Li Er is assassinated
As a mother, how could Empress Changsun not know what Li Tai was thinking?

But in the current situation, if Li Tai could be enfeoffed, Taozhou would indeed be a good place.

On this point, she had the same idea as Li Tai.

Also in the Eastern Palace, when the officials of the Ming Dynasty heard the news that Li Yin was going to become a fiefdom, they all looked secretly delighted.

They had always disliked this guy Li Yin.

It’s not that Li Yan caused them much trouble, but that they were disgusted by Li Yan.

Now that Li Yin has ended up in this situation, how could they not be happy?

Wang Dequan said excitedly: "Now we are all ready, just waiting for your Highness's opinion.

As long as His Highness agrees, we can start immediately.

Now that we have movable type printing technology, it is not difficult to stand at the top of public opinion."

Upon hearing what Wang Dequan said, Fang Yiai immediately perked up. Today was his day off, so he didn't go out.

"You know what? I have learned a lot from others during this period. I will publish it in our own newspaper and let everyone in the world see it. Hehe, I am excited just thinking about it."

"What secret? Tell us about it?" When everyone heard Fang Yiai say this, they immediately became excited.

They knew Fang Yiai, a guy who liked to collect gossip. They didn't know where he got the channels from, so they were all looking forward to it.

"No hurry, no hurry." Fang Yiai waved his hand and said, "Everyone will know after our court bulletin comes out. Why are you in such a hurry now?"

When they heard what he said, everyone wanted to strangle him to death, but they also knew that this guy had this little bit of bad taste, and if he really acted like that, he would only become more inflated.

No one paid any attention to him, and Fang Yiai suddenly felt like a deflated ball.

At the same time, on the bank of the Yalong River, Li Chengqian was reading the joint memorial from Wang Dequan and others.

As he watched, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction. He was now more and more satisfied with his ministers.

"Yes, now the officials of our Ming Dynasty have also started to use their brains." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "That's good, controlling public opinion is indeed a good thing for our future.

But they still thought too simply.

The decree states that, effective immediately, Chen Ping'an will be promoted to the chief editor of the Daming Daily.

If you ask him to be an official, he doesn't want to, and if you ask him to study, he will always have so many excuses, right?

In addition, Wang Dequan was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief of Daming Daily..."

Li Chengqian's thoughts were naturally more thoughtful than Wang Dequan and others. This did not mean that he was smarter than Wang Dequan and others, but because of the various things that happened in later generations, he had a better understanding of this.

Apart from anything else, he had watched a lot of Korean dramas before traveling through time.

In Korean dramas, don’t those high-ranking officials control public opinion to achieve their own goals?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian became more and more satisfied.

At the same time, he was writing furiously on the table.

Since he wanted to control the direction of public opinion and be the helmsman of public opinion, he naturally had to create the system of the Ming Daily.

After a long while, Li Chengqian finally put down his pen, raised his head and said, "Also, give these things to Chen Dingan. I'm sure he won't refuse after reading them."

Li Chengqian still has a very good impression of Chen Dingan.

Although he didn't come from a high-class family, he was impeccable in both his work and his conduct.

In particular, his decisiveness in retreating from the Tang Dynasty made Li Chengqian look at him with higher regard.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuan immediately bowed and said, "I will arrange it right away."

Ever since Li Chengqian rejected some of his ideas last time, he has been very busy during this period. Of course, this also gave him more power.

During this period of time, he was truly in high spirits.

And when Li Chengqian's order reached Sun and Moon Mountain, just as Li Chengqian had expected, Chen Dingan refused at first.

It was not until he opened the letter from Li Chengqian that he became excited.

As the former magistrate of Taoyuan County, he was also a scholar. After careful study, he figured out the ins and outs of this.

It was under this premise that Chen Ding'an bowed and said, "I, your honor, accept your command."

After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Ding'an immediately found the Ministry of Works. According to Li Chengqian's order, the Ministry of Works had to build a public office for the Daming Daily within a few days.

I guess the Ministry of Works must have received the order by now.

"Congratulations to the editor, Chen." As soon as he saw Chen Ding'an coming, Yi Yuanxi bowed and smiled.

Of course, he was no stranger to Chen Dingan. Not to mention that Chen Dingan was the magistrate of Taoyuan County back then, his son was now the principal of Daming School. Several of his own children were now in Daming School. Based on this relationship, he was no stranger to it.

"Minister Yi, you are joking." Chen Ding'an said modestly, "This humble official is only given this opportunity because of your highness's appreciation.

It is naturally incomparable to Shangshu Yi."

He has been in officialdom for many years, especially at the lower levels, so he is naturally cautious in what he says and does.

"Editor Chen is joking." Yi Yuanxi said with a smile, "Nowadays, although there are few people in the Chen family who hold high positions in our Ming Dynasty, if we really talk about it, they are all noble and elegant.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no other noble family like the Chen family. "

What he said was true.

At this point in the development of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no noble family that can compare with the Chen family.

Chen Ding'an smiled and said nothing more. He was unwilling to take up an official post at first. Although one reason was that he had just resigned from the Tang Dynasty, the more important reason was that he did not want the Chen family to be too high-profile.

When they have no foundation, low-key development is their only way out.

Chen Dingan has figured out a way to do this over the years.

Seeing that Chen Ding'an was unwilling to talk more, Yi Yuanxi stopped talking about this topic and said with a smile: "Editor Chen has come at the right time today. I have prepared a few public offices here. I wonder if Editor Chen has any ideas..."

Having said that, he took Chen Dingan out of the Ministry of Works.

Chen Dingan was naturally satisfied with the Ming Dynasty's government offices.

Although the current imperial court of the Ming Dynasty is extremely streamlined, Ihara Seki, as the Minister of Works, knows that with the growing development of the Ming Dynasty, there will be more and more government offices in the future.

As early as two years ago, after consulting Li Chengqian, Yi Yuanxi ordered the Ministry of Works to build many public offices.

Firstly, as long as there are projects, more people can be fed.

Secondly, it is also for emergency use.

For example, in the current situation, Chen Dingan did not really choose, but after following Yi Yuanxi for a while, he decided on it.

Of course, this is only if he comes. If it were someone else, Ihara Seok would definitely not accompany him personally.

Nowadays, whether it is Ihara Sik and others or Khibi Shamon and others, they are all trying their best to win over some officials in the court. Although Li Chengqian knows this, he doesn't care.

After all, everyone knows what they are thinking.

"Editor Chen is going to set up the Daming Daily, so he must be busy. I will not disturb Editor Chen anymore. I will disturb Editor Chen after I finish the affairs of Daming Daily." After saying that, Yi Yuanxi did not want Chen Dingan to see him off, and left immediately.

Chen Ding'an was not polite, just as Ihara Xi said.

When the Da Ming Daily was first established, there were indeed a lot of things to prepare.

……

Just when Chen Ding'an was preparing to make a big move at the Daming Daily, in Siam, in Li Er's temporary palace, Changsun Wuji and others were waiting nervously outside the palace.

It was nothing special. Just this morning, something happened that no one expected. Li Er was assassinated!

At this time, the palace was temporarily closed, and no one knew whether Li Er was safe or not.

"How is His Majesty doing now?" Fang Xuanling, who had just received the news and rushed over, asked anxiously.

Even Wei Zheng, who was beside him, looked worried at this moment.

Li Er is very important to the Tang Dynasty, especially under the current circumstances, and he concerns everyone present.

"I don't know the specific situation yet." Changsun Wuji did not hide anything and said immediately, "I have sent someone to invite Taoist Sun, but I don't know what the situation is with His Majesty. I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood.

I’m afraid that Li Er will be dead before Sun Simiao arrives.

This was something that no one present was willing to accept.

"Your Majesty's life or death is unknown, should we inform the palace..." The one who said this was Wen Yanbo, but as soon as he said this, Wei Zheng, who had always supported Li Chengqian, said, "Duke Yu, be careful with your words!

It has not come to that point yet, and your Majesty has always been in good health, and has fought in many battles for so many years, how could he fall so easily in Siam?"

In fact, he also understood that there was nothing wrong with what Wen Yanbo said. In any dynasty, when the emperor was in crisis, the crown prince became particularly important.

But he also understood that Li Chengqian was now on the bank of the Yalong River and it was impossible for him to come back in a short time.

If word really gets out that His Majesty is critically ill, there may be civil unrest in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, no matter which dynasty it is, the time when imperial power changes is the most dangerous.

"Duke Zheng's words make sense." Upon hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji immediately stood up and said, "We don't know what the emperor's situation is now. If we do anything rashly, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the country. If the emperor is not in danger of life, if we lose our composure at this time, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty."

He would not allow the Tang Dynasty to fall into chaos at this time.

You know, the reason why Li Er brought so many old ministers to the south was to maintain Li Er's base.

How could he be willing to let this base be in danger of collapse because of this incident?
Not only him, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded in agreement.

Although they all have different hearts and minds, they are determined to stand together on the general direction.

"If His Majesty really..." Fang Xuanling hesitated for a long time before saying, "Then we won't announce the death. Besides, it's time for us to inform His Majesty. If His Majesty really can't make it, His Majesty can return to the capital in secret. Only then can we ensure that there will be no unrest in the Tang Dynasty when the imperial power is transferred."

"Your Highness can indeed be notified." Chang Sun Wuji also nodded and said, "But it must be kept secret.

The only people present today who know all this are those present here, but I have something to say in advance."

"Just say it, Zhangsun Pushe." Everyone said when they saw this.

Zhang Sun Wuji was not polite: "Although we don't know the situation of your majesty, there is one thing we must do, and that is to block the news.

I think you all understand what I mean, right?"

"Of course." Upon hearing this, Ma Zhou said, "Don't worry, Changsun Pushe. Those present are all pillars of our Tang Dynasty. They must know the importance of this matter. No one will leak the news."

As he spoke, he looked at everyone.

Seeing this, everyone expressed their opinions.

Everyone was not a fool. It was obvious that Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou were playing a double game, but at this critical juncture, no one dared not to agree.

"That's great." Changsun Wuji continued, "As for how to inform His Highness, we don't need to worry about that. I'm sure His Majesty will have a better channel."

"We don't know what the situation is now, Your Majesty. Are you sure Your Majesty will make arrangements?" Hearing this, Wei Zheng asked doubtfully.

However, he also knew that if anyone could contact Li Chengqian more efficiently, it would definitely be Li Er, but there were some things he couldn't say.

"With your majesty's wisdom and bravery, such matters must have been arranged long ago, so Duke Zheng does not need to worry about it."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, everyone's heart moved. Obviously, Changsun Wuji knew something.

At this moment, the situation in the palace was not so tense. Li Er even sat on the bed, listening with interest to the report from the eunuch beside him.

"So, Changsun Wuji and others are outside now?" Li Er exposed his shoulder, and the imperial doctor beside him was bandaging Li Er.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, that is exactly the case."

"They haven't made any unusual movements?" Li Er continued to ask.

"No, at this moment, Zhangsun Pushe and others are waiting for news from your Majesty with anxious faces." The eunuch continued to answer.

"Has anyone spread the news?"

"Not yet."

After hearing this answer, Li Er nodded and said after a long while: "My ministers are still loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Er was still very satisfied with the reactions of Changsun Wuji and others.

No matter what his physical condition is at the moment, as long as the news gets out, I dare not say that there will be turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, but there will definitely be chaos, there is no doubt about that.

"Then should we tell him about His Majesty's situation..."

"No need." The eunuch was stopped by Li Er before he could finish his words. After a while, he said, "It's just the beginning. I want to see how long this news can be kept secret. I also want to see how my sons will react after hearing that I was assassinated."

Having said this, Li Er suddenly waved his hand, and the old eunuch stood in front of Li Er again like a shadow.

Seeing the old eunuch coming out, Li Er said, "Use the channels of the Secret Service to pass the news of my assassination to Gao Ming, Qing Que, and Ke'er."

At this point, he thought for a moment and said, "By the way, pass it on to that kid Li Yin as well."

"I will arrange it right away." The old eunuch heard this without any hesitation.

Of course he knew what Li Er was thinking, but it was understandable to him.
