The most romantic little emperor

When Qin Hao arrived at the Taiji Hall, all the ministers had already arrived and were whispering about something. When they saw Qin Hao coming, they kept silent.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "My dear ministers, what were you talking about just now that made you so excited? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Su Zhengfang glanced at Dong Sicheng, stroked his beard and smiled, "Nothing much, I just heard that the Crown Princess was assassinated yesterday, and everyone is very angry. I don't know who had the courage to do such a treasonous thing."

"Master Dong, don't you agree?"

Dong Sicheng narrowed his eyes and said sternly, "Your Highness, the thief is so lawless that he dared to assassinate the Crown Princess. This is a crime that cannot be forgiven. You must thoroughly investigate this matter and find the real culprit to serve as a warning to others."

Wang Jian cursed these two old foxes in his heart when he heard what they said, but he still bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Minister Su and Master Dong. My sister was just a little frightened yesterday, and she is fine now."

"But don't worry, we have captured a killer alive and have already started the interrogation. I believe it won't be long before we can find out who is behind this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely seek justice for my sister."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, and continued Wang Jian's words, "The thief is so bold that he dared to let me know who assassinated the Crown Princess. I will kill all his nine clans."

"By the way, Master Dong, what happened to your hand?"

Qin Hao looked at Dong Sicheng's left hand and suddenly asked.

Dong Sicheng couldn't help shrinking his arm, then stretched it out generously, laughing, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I accidentally scratched myself yesterday. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Qin Hao pointedly said: "Master Dong, you must be more careful next time!"

After saying this, he turned and left, walking towards the throne of the crown prince.

Dong Sicheng looked at Qin Hao's back, thinking, and secretly guessed, what did the prince mean by what he said just now? Did he discover something? And Wang Jian said that he caught a killer, but he didn't know if it was true?

Suddenly, his heart was in a mess. He regretted that he had listened to Su Zhengfang's words and put himself in a passive position.

After Qin Hao sat down, he said to all the civil and military officials in the court: "My dear ministers, yesterday I asked you to write your thoughts after watching the execution. I wonder if you have written them?"

All the civil and military officials in the court nodded. Gao Lishi stepped forward and collected the thoughts written by everyone.

Qin Hao was very happy when he saw the pile of movie reviews. He asked Gao Lishi to take out the letters in the anti-corruption box, and he picked up a movie review and started reading it.

Qin Hao read with great interest. He had to say that the ministers in the court had excellent writing skills. Each of them was extremely talented and knowledgeable, and the articles they wrote were clear and brilliant.

"Not bad, not bad." Qin Hao praised as he flipped through the pages.

"Your Highness, I only found two confessions in the integrity box just now." Gao Lishi said respectfully.

When all the civil and military officials in the court heard that only two people had confessed, they looked at each other, secretly guessing who had confessed, and waiting for the prince's anger. They all thought that the prince would be furious.

Qin Hao did not do as they wished. He quietly flipped through the two confession books handed over by Gao Lishi. After he finished reading, he directly said to Gao Lishi: "Let someone bring a brazier."

Soon, the fire basin was brought to Qin Hao. Qin Hao threw the two confession books directly into the fire basin. All the civil and military officials in the court were secretly shocked.

After the confession was burned, Qin Hao was not angry but happy, and said slowly: "This king said that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. This king will forgive them once. This king will keep his word and will never pursue the matter again."

"In addition, I am very pleased. I did not expect that all the civil and military officials in the court are so honest and clean. It seems that some villains are reporting to me that some officials are corrupt and accept bribes. I want you to punish them severely."

"Humph, this is simply nonsense. This is a typical retaliation against a loyal minister. Once the evidence is solid, I will show no mercy."

All the civil and military officials in the court tried to persuade Qin Hao to calm down, but they were also very nervous.

None of the civil and military officials who could stand in the Taiji Hall were fools. All of them were extremely shrewd. Naturally, they heard the hidden meaning of Qin Hao's words.

Su Zhengfang saw that Qin Hao was making indirect accusations and had a hidden agenda, so he quickly changed the subject and echoed, "Your Highness, you must not tolerate those who love to complain about evil!"

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Minister Su is thoughtful. I will not let go of those who like to complain, but I will never let go of those who dare to deceive me."

"Anyone who dares to deceive his superiors and subordinates will be punished with a heavier crime. The lighter punishment is dismissal from office or demotion, and the heavier punishment is confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. This king will not tolerate it."

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and kept silent, as if they were afraid that the prince would find evidence against them and put a butcher knife to their necks.

"Don't be nervous, my dear ministers. I am not talking about you. I believe that you are honest, selfless and law-abiding." Qin Hao added.

Everyone heard the prince's sarcasm and felt a burning pain on their faces.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Among the ministers present, who can guarantee that he is incorruptible and has never accepted gifts from others? The probability of this happening is probably lower than Mars hitting the Earth!

"Okay, let's start the morning court!"

Qin Hao said calmly, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court! I will be getting married tomorrow, so I am very busy."

Fan Wenhai stood up and said with a chuckle, "Your Highness, I followed your instructions. Yesterday, the Supervision Bureau and government offices at all levels took joint action to crack down on various crimes. In just one day, we solved more than ten theft cases, seven cases of bullying and forced buying and selling, and thirteen cases of rape and robbery..."

"A total of 130,000 taels of silver were seized, 37 cases were solved, and 118 criminals were arrested. Your Highness, please give us your instructions."

Qin Hao was neither surprised nor happy when he heard this. He said solemnly, "Look! This is the capital under your rule. There are evil forces everywhere. There are endless incidents of oppressing the people and forced buying and selling. In just less than a day, more than 30 cases were solved and more than 100 criminals were arrested."

All the civil and military officials in the court were filled with shame, and they knelt on the ground, saying in unison: "Your Highness, please calm down. We have failed to do our job well, and we request to be punished."

Qin Hao was too lazy to look at them and continued, "Sun Yi, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Feng Jin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate."

Sun Yi and Feng Jin quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your humble servants are here."

"I order you to work together with Lord Fan to investigate the case, quickly interrogate the criminals, try the cases, and promptly correct any unjust, false, or wrongful convictions. All cases and criminals with solid evidence must be tried within three days, and those who should be imprisoned must be imprisoned, and those who should be beheaded must be beheaded. We must ensure that no bad guy is let off, no good guy is wrongly accused, and that all evil is eradicated." Qin Hao gave the order directly.
