From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 46 Qin Yuan is assassinated
early morning
There were sparse snowflakes floating in the sky, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.

In the simple and elegant courtyard

The snowflakes fell on the grape trellis, but were blocked by the dense dead branches and could no longer fall.

Under the grape trellis, Li Chengqian put his wheelchair into the shape of a rocking chair and rocked it.

Beside him, Lin Wan'er, who had begun to resemble a young girl, carefully peeled a grape and stuffed the crystal clear grape flesh into his mouth.

Li Chengqian was holding a newspaper in his hand. The news on it was all kinds of news, covering all over the world, gossip, and of course, the most of it was officials' privacy and gossip.

"It's the first year of the Qingli period!"

Li Chengqian sighed inwardly. After the New Year's Day ceremony, the old man in the deep palace went crazy and changed the calendar.

Not only that, he also came up with some kind of new policy. In Li Chengqian's words, it was just a mess.

Gui's new policy is nothing more than to rectify the administration of officials. Apart from the novelty of the newspaper he founded, everything else is just a minor matter.

But this newspaper.

Li Chengqian glanced through the thin paper and finally set his eyes on an article on the back that looked like a small piece of tofu.

The article is short, but the idea is interesting.

He narrowed his eyes and read the short article carefully. On the surface, it seemed nothing special. It used a case in a small border town to analyze the reasons for the case's sentencing, etc.

Very convincing.

But Li Chengqian smelled something different from it.

In my previous life, I was bored and read newspapers in the office for more than ten years. The unit even had publicity targets every year for the reports that appeared in this system. What to publicize, how to publicize, and what purpose to achieve, they would issue guidance every month to unify the publicity tone.

But it is clear that the Daqing version of the newspaper does not contain such guidance.

It is said that the inner court will review the published content, but those people in the inner court know nothing about propaganda!
"Newspapers are released without any supervision. Do you really think that just because they are published by the inner court, you can control everything? The old man is still too confident!"

Just the first newspaper, a piece of trivial news, made him feel very uncomfortable.

The reason for the discomfort is very simple. The author of the article is subtly conveying a certain idea through this short article.

"Let's wait and see. It's just an article. Let's wait and see whether this is just a coincidence or someone really has the foresight to see the importance of newspapers and is trying to use them to secretly gain access to Chencang."

"Cousin, it's very windy outside. You're still weak and can't be blown by the wind."

A cool breeze blew, mixed with a few snowflakes. Lin Wan'er couldn't help but shrink her neck and looked at Li Zaiquan who was still staring at the newspaper intently.

"Whoever told you that my body can't be exposed to the wind is lying to them." Li Chengqian smiled and looked at Lin Wan'er who was shivering from the cold. "But you, your body has just recovered, so you really can't be exposed to the wind. It's my negligence. Go back to the house."

After saying that, he knocked on the wheelchair, and with a series of clicks, the wheelchair changed from a rocking chair back to a wheelchair.

Even after watching it several times, Lin Wan'er still found it amazing. She stood up and pushed the wheelchair and asked, "Cousin, is this what Gui Zitian made? It's really clever!"

"He created it, but it was my idea. Gui Zitian is very skilled, but he lacks a bit of creativity. He still needs experience."

"Cousin, you came up with this?" Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Would I, your cousin, lie to you?" Li Chengqian said with a smile. "By the way, how is your aunt?"

"Mother is fine, she's just worried about my cousin's health."

"I'm in good health, so tell her not to worry. As for you, although you've recovered well, you're still a little weak. Don't run around casually in the future."

"How could that be? I'm usually in Changsheng Palace." "Why, didn't your aunt ask you to go to school?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

Speaking of which, Emperor Qing was influenced by Ye Qingmei and opened a school in Kyoto. However, the tuition fee of this school was quite high and it only accepted children from wealthy families, such as Fan Xian's sister.

Thinking of Fan Xian and then Fan Ruoruo, I wonder if Fan Xian started to teach his sister the three-step principle at this point in time, talked to her about the Ten Days Talk, and started to cultivate a black-bellied girl.

Well, it should be, but Dream of the Red Chamber should not be there anymore. Thinking of his masterpiece, he couldn't help laughing.

"Mother felt that since I had just recovered, it was not appropriate for me to go out, so she just asked me to study in the palace."

When mentioning this matter, Lin Wan'er felt a little depressed. Having grown up in the deep palace, she also yearned for the world outside the palace.

"Is that so?" Li Chengqian looked at Lin Wan'er and suddenly asked, "How are you doing with the book I asked you to read last time?"

"Oh, those!" Lin Wan'er had a strange expression on her face when she thought of the books Li Chengqian had asked her to read before. "I did read some of them, but then my mother stopped me, saying that reading them would cause me harm in the future."

"Suffering a loss?" Li Chengqian patted Wan'er's head and said, "Wan'er, don't listen to your mother. You'll suffer if you don't read those books, especially Women's Commandments. This book is to help you understand the world's views on women and some taboos. It doesn't mean you should follow them completely, but it means you won't be caught in these situations in the future. Learn how to avoid risks and how to maximize your own interests within the rules."

Lin Wan'er seemed to understand what he said, but she just stared at Li Chengqian with her big eyes.

"Well, you're still young, it's too early to talk about this. Go back and take the book to your mother. Just ask her what I should do if I want to go against the teachings in the book without being criticized by others. With your mother's intelligence, she will definitely find the answer."

"Yes!"

Although Lin Wan'er didn't quite understand, she nodded.

"By the way, Prince, my mother asked me to ask if you are available recently. She wants to invite you to a banquet."

"It's convenient. Any day is convenient for me. I'm so bored I'm getting anxious." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "But why did she invite me to the banquet when things are going well?"

"I don't know." Lin Wan'er shook her head. "But it seems like Mother has been troubled recently."

"She still has worries," Li Chengqian said. "She now controls the inner treasury and is the richest woman in the world. With so much money, how could she still have worries? Is there anything that can't be solved with money?"

Lin Wan'er still shook her head.

"Besides me, who else did you invite?"

"I don't know. Mother didn't tell me."

At this moment, Qi Wu hurried over and saw Lin Wan'er with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, "Just tell me what's going on."

"Qin Yuan was assassinated."

"What?" Li Chengqian unconsciously put his hands on the chair handle and almost stood up. "Qin Yuan was assassinated. How did he get assassinated? What's his current situation?"

"He was hit by a sword in the chest, but it didn't hurt any vital parts."

"Where's the assassin?"

"already dead."

"Did you find anyone?"

"Judging from his martial arts skills, he should be from Dongyi City."
