The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "Old General, let's make a bold guess. Their first target must be my father. When the emperor escaped, they set their sights on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. This is a sure win."

"Old General, I want to ask you, has there been any fighting along the border of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the past two years? Who is the commander of the garrison?"

Li Zhen was slightly stunned, then cursed: "Su Zhengfang, you traitor, I wish I could kill you, this evil villain."

Qin Hao saw that Li Zhen was so angry and immediately knew the answer. He patted him on the back and comforted him, "Old General, please calm down."

"God has his way. No one can escape punishment. Good deeds are rewarded with good, evil deeds are punished with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

"That was just our guess. If Su Zhengfang really did something that betrayed his country, the blood debt must be paid with blood. I will personally punish him and make the Su family kneel in front of the tombstones of the sacrificed soldiers and repent for generations."

"Your Highness, I am unwilling to accept this! They have an army of 300,000 men, and they will die with their eyes open!" Li Zhen wailed.

Then, he said intermittently: "Your Highness, the generals stationed at the border of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are almost all Su Zhengfang's men."

"In the past, there were occasional frictions between the enemy and us on the northern border. There were dozens of disputes a year, and sometimes hundreds of them. But in the past two years, we have rarely heard of them."

"So I, this old minister, asserted that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were probably divided between the Liao Dynasty and the Su family. Both sides implemented joint control, secretly traded with each other, and sold illegal items on a large scale to make huge profits."

"If this is true, the imperial court is in danger! Daxia is in danger!"

After hearing this, Qin Hao frowned. He knew that Li Zhen's words were not alarmist.

If Su Zhengfang secretly started a rebellion and attempted to usurp the throne, it would have been very likely that he would succeed if it were the useless prince in his previous life.

Even if he failed, once he escaped from the capital, with the army in his hands and the wealth accumulated over the years, he would be able to establish his own regime, proclaim himself king, and break away from the control of Daxia.

Fortunately, Qin Hao traveled through time and space and was reborn into the body of the good-for-nothing prince. Although there were many dangers ahead and the Su father and son were cunning and treacherous, he was still confident that he could take them all down.

After figuring this out, Qin Hao laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, old general. All the conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers. No matter how powerful the Su family is, I can make them disappear into thin air in a snap of my fingers."

After hearing this, Li Zhen confirmed again: "Your Highness, are you sure you are not joking?"

Qin Hao smiled confidently and said, "Why, you don't believe me? Don't worry! I will let you see what thundering means are."

“I hope that day comes soon.”

Seeing Qin Hao so confident, Li Zhen laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Your Highness, you will be the best successor to Daxia. When the time comes, I will lead my soldiers to follow Your Highness to the death."

Qin Hao laughed heartily and said, "Well, if I can get your help, I will be even more powerful and will nip all the evil tricks in the bud."

……

When he returned to the East Palace, Qin Hao learned from the shadow guard that many ministers in the court were holding a private gathering at the homes of Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng.

Qin Hao slowly stood up, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He sneered: "Su Zhengfang, Dong Sicheng, since you want to die, I will do as you wish."

Then he asked A Yue: "Yue'er, has Master Feng returned?"

"I'll go and take a look." A Yue replied.

"no need."

As soon as A Yue's voice fell, Feng Lao's voice reached the ears of the two, and a black figure immediately appeared in front of Qin Hao.

Qin Hao looked at the elusive Jinyiwei leader in front of him, and his uneasy mood improved a lot. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Feng. All the Jinyiwei people have been sent out, right?"

Elder Feng nodded and bowed, saying, "I have already followed your instructions and secretly monitored some ministers in the court, with a focus on the ministers close to Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng's faction."

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and a heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He never doubted Feng Lao's ability to do things, and this was the real purpose of arranging Feng Lao to be in charge of the Jinyiwei.

What he needed was not only the movements of these ministers, but also their weaknesses so that Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng would lose their composure.

"Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng have great influence in the court. We need to find their weakest link." Qin Hao instructed.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already asked the Royal Guards to start collecting evidence against them. As long as they make the slightest move, we will be able to take the initiative." Old Feng replied in a low voice, his voice full of firmness and confidence.

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction. He believed in Mr. Feng's ability, and he believed even more in his own judgment.

"Mr. Feng, did you know that our father personally led an expedition to conquer the Liao Dynasty two years ago?" Qin Hao suddenly asked.

Elder Feng nodded and said, "I know a little bit, but not very clearly."

Qin Hao said slowly: "Just now, I just came back from General Li Zhen. According to our deduction, Su Zhengfang was very likely to have colluded with the Liao Dynasty and leaked our army's whereabouts, resulting in the annihilation of our 300,000-strong army."

Old Feng frowned and said solemnly, "If this is true, then Su Zhengfang is simply too scary. We must make plans early to prevent him from jumping off the wall and usurping the throne."

Qin Hao nodded in agreement and said solemnly: "After decades of operation, the Su family has already gained power and influence, and the roots are deep. I am worried that he has a backup plan. Once it explodes, the consequences will be disastrous."

"In addition, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I am also worried that he has already left a way out. If he is allowed to escape from the capital, he will definitely start a rebellion. By then, the situation in the world will change drastically, and the local vassal states will also take the opportunity to cause chaos. Daxia will fall into constant civil strife."

"By then, if foreign tribes take the opportunity to launch an invasion war against our Great Xia, if the imperial court is unable to take care of itself, they will easily take advantage of it. Once they invade the heartland of the Central Plains, they will surely burn, kill, plunder and commit all kinds of evil. If this continues, the country will no longer be a country."

Old Feng and A Yue gasped. They didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

Qin Hao said firmly, "So, once the evidence is solid, or the Su family is plotting treason, we must use thunderbolt means to keep the Su family father and son in the capital, or kill them on the spot, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Elder Feng understood the seriousness of the problem and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. During this period, I will personally arrange for the Shadow Guards and the Imperial Guards to closely monitor the actions of the Su family father and son and his trusted ministers, and try to nip all risks in the bud."
