The most romantic little emperor

Arriving at the side hall, Qin Hao called out to the air, "A Yue."

A woman dressed in black appeared like a ghost without any warning and knelt in front of the prince: "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

"Go and call General Wang Jian. I have something to discuss with him."

A Yue bowed and accepted the order, then flashed out of the room in an instant, leaving only a shadow. Qin Hao was secretly shocked, his eyes became burning, and he imagined some unspeakable things.

After a while, Wang Jian arrived, and after some polite exchanges, the two of them sat down.

Qin Hao was not polite and said directly, "Today's morning court was really weird. The old thief Su Zhengfang was sick and couldn't get up, and the old man Dong Sicheng actually openly disobeyed my orders. Is I really that bad?"

Wang Jian looked at the prince and said to himself, "Prince, you are so bad, and you don't even know how bad you are. Why are you asking me?"

"Brother, what do you think about this matter? Why don't you just tell me directly?"

Wang Jian said tentatively, "Perhaps Minister Su is really ill."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Hao interrupted him with an angry look on his face, "Wang Jian, others can't see it, but you can't? Do you want to fool me like them?"

After saying that, he slammed his hand heavily on the table, almost causing the tea bowls on the table to fall over.

Qin Hao was in so much pain that he just wanted to scream for his mother, but he still endured the pain, without showing any trace of suffering on his face, as if the pain was not in his hand.

Even Wang Jian felt that His Highness's hand must be very painful, but His Highness was so calm. He couldn't help but sigh that His Highness had such a strong character. He secretly admired him in his heart. As long as such a prince was diligent in government affairs, he would surely achieve great things. He would have to assist him well in the future.

After calming down, Wang Jian said bluntly, "Your Highness, don't get angry and hurt yourself. Some things can't be rushed."

"These two bastards must be harboring a lot of evil intentions."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Minister Su deliberately excused himself from attending the court this morning. This is a blatant act of defiance against the Crown Prince."

"This old man is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He is a clique and greedy. He has countless ways to trip up the government, both overtly and covertly. Many loyal officials have been schemed against by him. His methods are brutal and he has no bottom line. Many loyal officials have been demoted or imprisoned, and many have even been killed in retaliation by the Su family."

"Dong Sicheng is one of the Three Dukes, and his family is prominent. Many officials in the court are his disciples, and his family has deep roots. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he is good at scheming. Most officials in the court are friends with him, and even high-ranking officials and royal relatives respect him."

After hearing what Wang Jian said, Qin Hao took a breath.

"Is there anything more terrifying?"

"These two people not only have great influence in the court, but also have a great say outside the court."

Wang Jian said nothing more, and Qin Hao urged him, "Keep talking, I can bear it."

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Your Highness, this is a serious matter. Regardless of whether what I said is right or wrong, please do not get angry or act rashly, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to Your Highness and the court. If that happens, I will never forgive myself."

Qin Hao thought for a moment, exhaled, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Speak."

"Your Highness, the ancestors of the Su and Dong families once followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. After two generations of accumulation, the third generation has now emerged in the court, and their power has become so huge that it is terrifying."

"The Su family's influence is mainly in the military. Many generals in the military were soldiers under the Su family's ancestors, and many of the Su family's relatives also serve in the military. Now his two sons have grown up. The eldest son, Su Yong, is the general of the right camp, and the second son, Su Meng, guards the border outside the pass and is now a lieutenant general."

"The Ministry of Revenue is the head of the six ministries. Su Zhengfang is the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the country's money and grain, and controls the country's economic lifeline."

"It is good for the Su family to control the army and money and food, but it is extremely detrimental to the long-term rule of the Great Xia Kingdom."
