The most romantic little emperor

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. No, I can't fall into the prince's trap, Wen Tai thought to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

So, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, I didn't ask for leave just now. I just thought that for such a big corruption case, I felt that it would not be enough to just have the court officials go and watch the show!"

"Should we also ask those officials in the capital who are not of high rank to go? After all, this matter is also a warning and deterrent to them."

"In this way, the officialdom in the capital will be more clean and honest, and it will also promote the assessment of the court's administration."

"So, I wanted to give you some advice, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed by Duke Zhu."

Qin Hao felt that it was feasible when he heard it, and said with a happy smile: "My dear Wen, you are thoughtful. This prince and Duke Zhu have misunderstood you. This matter will be handled according to your request."

He turned to Zhu Gui and said, "Duke Zhu, look at what happened. Don't do this again. You can apologize to Minister Wen later and let this matter go."

Zhu Gui is also a wonderful person. As a military general, of course he will not hold grudges overnight and will respond to grievances on the spot.

He just bowed to Wen Tai and said, "Sir Wen, this is just a joke to liven up the dull atmosphere in the court. Please don't take it seriously!"

As the saying goes, you should not hit someone who smiles at you. Wen Tai also bowed his hands and said, "No, no! We have served in the same court for many years. We should stick together and do more work for the court."

Zhu Gui nodded slightly to show his agreement, and the matter was over.

Qin Hao was delighted. "I am very pleased that all the ministers are in the same boat. It is rare to have such a harmonious situation between the monarch and his ministers. Let's keep up the good work in the future!"

The previously dull atmosphere in the court was swept away, and it suddenly became lively, with all the civil and military officials talking and laughing.

Su Zhengfang glanced at Kong Boli.

Kong Boli nodded slightly, walked forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, after my coordination, the money and food for disaster relief have been prepared and can be transported to the disaster area at any time."

Qin Hao was overjoyed and said happily: "What is the saying? As long as all the ministers work together, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."

"Look, Lord Kong has raised money and food for disaster relief in such a short time. This is really a happy event!"

All the civil and military officials in the court immediately offered their praises. It was a rare sight to see the emperor and his subjects being of one mind and to have such a happy scene.

"Mr. Kong has lived up to everyone's expectations. It is a blessing for our dynasty that the disaster relief funds were raised so quickly."

"Yes, Lord Kong is capable and His Highness is wise. It is a blessing for our dynasty."

……

Throughout the court, voices of praise rang out one after another. Qin Hao felt extremely gratified when he heard these words.

Su Zhengfang glanced at Wen Tai, and Wen Tai immediately nodded in understanding.

"Your Highness, Lord Kong is both capable and responsible. He has made great contributions."

Wen Tai took advantage of Qin Hao's happiness and laughed, "Isn't it time to let Lord Kong return to his post?"

Qin Hao glanced at Su Zhengfang, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Su Zhengfang nodded and said without hesitation: "Your Highness, Minister Kong has completed the task you assigned him, and he deserves a reward."

Dong Sicheng also stood up to speak for Kong Boli, "Your Highness is clear about rewards and punishments, and Lord Kong should be reinstated."

Other ministers also expressed their opinions and agreed that Kong Boli should be reinstated.

Qin Hao knew that Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng had discussed this matter, but he didn't care about reinstating Kong Boli.

Because a mere official position is far less important than the lives of people in the disaster area.

In his heart, the lives of the people are above everything else.

So, Qin Hao laughed and said, "My lords, there is no need for you to remind me. I remember what I said before."

"Lord Kong, you will be reinstated immediately. I hope you will continue to work hard and do your best for the court. Don't let me down."

Kong Boli was deeply moved when he got what he wanted, and he kowtowed to express his gratitude immediately.

Su Zhengfang nodded slightly. His first small goal had been achieved, and it was time to achieve the second small goal.

"Your Highness, Lord Kong has been reinstated. Who will take over his vacant position?" Su Zhengfang asked casually.

Of course Qin Hao knew what his plan was, he just wanted to put his own people in power.

He did not refuse directly, but asked: "I wonder if Minister Su has a suitable candidate?"

Qin Hao laughed secretly in his heart. This old fox finally showed his tail.

Su Zhengfang seemed to have been prepared for this, and replied calmly, "Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue's Doctor Du Youwei is young and promising, and has sufficient qualifications. I recommend him to take over as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?"

Qin Hao smiled slightly, looking at Su Zhengfang's confident look, and laughed loudly, "I will naturally approve of the person recommended by Minister Su."

"However, I said yesterday that I would ask Grand Tutor Xie and Grand Tutor Dong to recommend candidates as well. I have to listen to their opinions as well."

Xie An knew it was his turn to show off. He stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I think Zhang Qing, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, is a good person. He used to be the Director of the Ministry of Revenue and has some experience in the management of the Ministry of Revenue."

"In addition, transferring him from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Revenue is a horizontal transfer, which is more convincing."

"Therefore, I, the old minister, recommend Zhang Qing to take on this important task."

When Su Zhengfang heard Zhang Qing's name, he felt something was wrong and quickly advised: "Your Highness, Zhang Qing is already old and may not be able to take on such a big responsibility. Please consider it carefully!"

What Su Zhengfang didn't expect was that his words immediately aroused dissatisfaction from two people.

Zhang Qing was very happy when he suddenly heard that Grand Tutor Xie recommended him to be the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue cannot be compared. Although the two departments are of the same level, one is a low-paying government office and no one wants to go there, while the other is extremely rich and everyone is scrambling to get in.

Even a transfer from the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Revenue is a promotion.

Which official doesn’t want to be promoted by the court?

Zhang Qing finally gained the appreciation of Grand Tutor Xie and was recommended for promotion. This should have been a great opportunity for him to display his talents and realize his ambitions.

But Su Zhengfang's words were like a bucket of cold water, directly extinguishing his enthusiasm and hope.

Zhang Qing felt that his future was ruthlessly ruined, and all this was just because of Su Zhengfang's opposition.

At this moment, Zhang Qing's face suddenly turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, and a trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he thought of Dong Sicheng. He had been branded as a member of the Dong family. Dong Sicheng would not ignore him, right?

What's more, his wife is the elder sister of Mrs. Dong Sicheng. With this relationship, he should give me a push!

At the same time, this is also a great opportunity for the Dong family to infiltrate the Ministry of Households, which will deal a heavy blow to the Su family. Dong Sicheng has no reason not to help him!

So he turned his eyes to Dong Sicheng and placed his hopes on him.
