The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao exhaled a breath of turbid air, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that Lord Kong is so popular in the court. Since everyone thinks he is quite capable."

"I naturally believe in his ability, but I still want to test him. When he collects this batch of food and money, I will let him return to his post."

"Master Kong, are you confident that you can raise enough food and money within three days? You should know that the people in the disaster area are waiting for food and money from the court to survive."

Kong Boli looked at Su Zhengfang and immediately knelt on the ground, saying with great fear and trepidation: "I will live up to your highness' trust and complete the task."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news. Don't worry! As long as you collect food and wages on time, what belongs to you will not run away." Qin Hao comforted him with great joy.

Qin Hao knew that Su Zhengfang had set a trap for him to force him to complete the power exchange, but he still jumped in. Because in his heart, the lives of the victims were much more important than the position of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

In the current situation, both parties are happy and the atmosphere is slightly better.

Qin Hao suddenly said: "The position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is temporarily vacant. Of course, I will keep it for Lord Kong, but after Lord Kong is reinstated, the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be vacant again."

"Well, Minister Su, Grand Tutor Dong, and Grand Tutor Xie, each of you three will recommend one person. Then, I will select the best one to serve as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. After all, the Ministry of Revenue is the head of the six ministries and is related to the livelihood of the people of the country. There can be no negligence."

The three of them immediately understood Qin Hao's intention. Before Su Zhengfang could say anything, Xie An took the lead and bowed to accept the order.

Su and Dong looked at each other, but were helpless.

Qin Hao then asked about the progress of the case concerning the death of Minister of Justice Qian Song.

Fan Wenhai, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a disciple of Dong Sicheng. He was visited and taken care of by Su Zhengfang's people the day before yesterday.

Of course, he kept the fact of accepting bribes a secret from Dong Sicheng. He didn't dare tell Dong Sicheng because the Dong family and the Su family didn't get along well. If he knew about it, who knows what would happen.

So, he worked together with the Dali Temple Minister to classify the case as Qian Song committing suicide out of fear of punishment.

Unexpectedly, last night, the murderer of Minister of Justice Qian Song showed up at Qian's house and was killed on the spot. If the case is still closed as Qian Song's suicide, wouldn't it be a false case?

The sudden incident caught Fan Wenhai off guard, so he teamed up with the Dali Temple Minister to overturn the verdict overnight and closed it as a homicide.

When Fan Wenhai thinks back on it now, he still feels a lingering fear.

He sorted out his thoughts, bowed and said, "Your Highness, after the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court jointly investigated the case, we have found out that the Minister of Justice, Mr. Qian, was murdered. The murderer was Qian Song's retainer Zhang San, but the murderer has been killed."

"So we have closed the case. Here is the complete file for you to review."

Gao Lishi took the file from him and handed it to the Crown Prince, but Qin Hao didn't even look at it.

He stared at Fan Wenhai with great interest and asked with a smile, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Fan Wenhai's scalp tingled when he was stared at by him, but he nodded.

"Haha, Fan Wenhai, if I hadn't sent someone to help last night, would you have planned to close the case as Qian Song's suicide?"

Qin Hao suddenly shouted, "Fan Wenhai, Fan Wenhai, you are really amazing! Have you found out the real culprit behind this? Or do you think that the dead Zhang San is the real culprit?"

Fan Wenhai was frightened by Qin Hao's repeated questioning. His face was covered with sweat. He knelt on the ground in fear and trembling, kowtowing and asking for forgiveness.

Qin Hao left his seat, walked straight to him, kicked him to the ground, and scolded him loudly: "Fan Wenhai, you are indeed guilty. This king trusts you so much that I let you temporarily take over the position of Minister of Justice. This king originally thought that after you have investigated the case thoroughly, you will be entrusted with an important task. This is how you repay this king."

Fan Wenhai hugged Qin Hao's thigh and cried bitterly, "Your Highness, please give me another chance. I will investigate this case thoroughly."

At this moment, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he accept the benefits from the Su family and cover up the truth, which made him so passive? The most important thing was that his chance to rise to the top was gone.

What was even more tragic was that no one in the court had spoken up for him. For a moment, he felt so sad that he thought to himself, "It's too late. It's all over."

Unexpectedly, at this moment a heavenly sound was heard, which shocked him and made him cry bitterly with gratitude.

"Get up!"

Although Qin Hao was angry, he decided to let him go because he learned from Feng Yuhuai that Fan Wenhai was quite capable and had just gone astray.

Furthermore, killing is not the way to solve the problem. The most brilliant means and method is to subdue the person and use him for your own benefit.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"

Fan Wenhai thanked him quickly and then slowly stood up. To be honest, the kick from the prince just now was quite hard and it woke him up.

"Humph."

Qin Hao snorted coldly: "I wish I could kill you, but now is not the time to kill you. You should make amends for your crime and make meritorious contributions!"

"Remember, I can give you one chance, but I won't give you two."

What I got was Fan Wenhai's repeated assurances.

After dealing with this matter, Qin Hao was in a good mood, so he asked with a smile, "Do you have anything to report?"

The ministers were silent.

"Duke Zhu and Grand Tutor Xie, please stay."

Seeing this, Qin Hao stood up and said, "Dismiss."

By the time Zhu Gui and Xie An arrived at the side hall, Qin Hao had already had tea prepared for them.

A few people were drinking tea and chatting, it was so pleasant.

At this time, Gao Lishi pushed the door open and came in front of Qin Hao, whispering in his ear: "Your Highness, Minister of Rites Wen Qingfeng and Left Vice Minister of Justice Fan Wenhai are outside the palace asking for an audience. Do you want to see them or not?"

"Oh?"

Qin Hao glanced at the few people, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, leave them alone for a while, and then let them in."

"Come on, Uncle Gao, sit down and have some tea."

They drank tea for a while before Qin Hao asked Gao Lishi to call the two in.

When the two of them came in, Qin Hao didn't even look at them and just focused on drinking tea.

The two stood there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly asked, "Uncle Gao, Wang Youzhi has no king or father. He openly challenges the imperial power and insults my father. Although I have killed him, I still don't feel relieved. What do you think I should do?"

Gao Lishi gave an answer quickly and said carefully: "How about raiding Wang Youzhi's house? And then exterminate his three clans?"

"Let's just forget about exterminating the clan! I can't be so cold-blooded. After all, his behavior has little to do with his family. I will just spare their lives."

Qin Hao snorted coldly, "I will give you an order now. His property will be confiscated and all the money will be used for disaster relief. As for the men in his family, all will be exiled and the women will be sent to the Jiaosifang. You will start to handle this matter immediately."

When Gao Lishi received the order from the crown prince, he immediately took people to raid Wang Youzhi's house.
