The most romantic little emperor

Shangguan Wuji began his performance with an eloquent voice, "Your Highness, just as you expected, our team transporting grain and grass was robbed by bandits as soon as it left the capital. Fortunately, you had foresight and arranged for the army to secretly protect us in advance, so we were spared from disaster."

"My admiration for you is like a torrent of water that never ceases, or like the flooding of the Yellow River that cannot be stopped."

When A Yue and Liang Hongyu heard Shangguan Wuji's flattery, they laughed even more unscrupulously.

Qin Hao was speechless and interrupted him directly, smiling slightly: "Alright, alright, you've been out for a while, and you haven't made any progress in other aspects, but you have improved in the skill of flattering. Who taught you this?"

Shangguan Wuji said without reservation: "My old man taught me. He asked me to come back early to report to you, and before I left, he gave me many instructions."

Liang Hongyu immediately became interested and asked with a sweet smile, "Oh? What did uncle say?"

Shangguan Wuji imitated his father's tone and said, "Wuji, the lives of our family were saved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As a man, you must know how to repay your gratitude. You must return to the capital as soon as possible to report. Don't make any mistakes."

"Also, you and Wan'er must listen to the prince in the capital, do more and talk less. The capital is a big melting pot, you must learn to be eloquent, and never offend the ministers in the court, so as not to cause trouble for His Highness."

Liang Hongyu nodded and praised: "Uncle, what you said is right."

"I also think what he said is very right. I just understood it all the way. I didn't expect it to be so effective." Shangguan Wuji said proudly.

"That's it? Have you understood all this?" Qin Hao asked back.

Shangguan Wuji chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I have been practicing the speech I just made for a long time. How do you think it is? Are you surprised or surprised?"

"I'm not surprised, but I was frightened by you."

Qin Hao teased, "However, your flattery is indeed good. This prince feels very comfortable listening to it."

"As long as you feel comfortable, I'll come back to practice with you later." Shangguan Wuji said shamelessly.

"Go away, find someone else and don't bother me."

Qin Hao's face was dark, and he scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and tell me the truth. I was almost mad at you. What are you talking about?"

Shangguan Wuji retracted his cynical look, sat upright, and instantly seemed like a different person. "Your Highness, along the way, our food and grass have been robbed no less than ten times. The bandit problem is so serious that we have to suppress it."

"Oh? Is it really that serious? I rarely hear about things like this. Please tell me in detail." Qin Hao asked hurriedly.

Shangguan Wuji sighed and said, "My Great Xia has always been plagued by bandits. We didn't eliminate them completely earlier. In addition, natural disasters have occurred frequently in the past two years. Many people can't survive and have no choice but to become bandits."

"Although there were quite a few bandits eliminated this time, they were not very large in scale. Most of them were newly established gangs in the past two years. The youngest gang was established only three days ago. Moreover, most of their members were ordinary people who could not afford to eat. As long as someone raised their arms, many refugees would respond. The speed of their development was so fast that it was thought-provoking."

Qin Hao shook his head and sighed. It was all caused by natural disasters. No one was a bitch. If the weather was good, the country was peaceful and the people had enough food to eat, who would be willing to risk being beheaded and become a bandit?

Ah Yue stood behind Qin Hao, massaging him and comforting him, "Your Highness, these are not your fault. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are beyond human control. You don't have to blame yourself."

Qin Hao shook his head and sighed, "That's reasonable, but as the current crown prince, I have to shoulder all the responsibilities."

Shangguan Wuji nodded and said slowly: "It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick. Some things cannot be rushed, but someone must do them."

"Otherwise, if this continues for a long time, it will easily lead to a situation where the tail is too big to be removed, which will be extremely disadvantageous to Your Highness."

Liang Hongyu interrupted and said, "Your Highness, this matter is not simple. The court has so many troops, why don't you just send troops to wipe them out? Why are you so timid?"

Liang Hongyu's parents were killed by bandits, so she hated these people, which is why she liked to be a hero.

Qin Hao's eyes brightened up after hearing what Liang Hongyu said. Yes, why should he be timid? He should defeat these bandits before they become powerful. If they refuse to surrender, he should just send troops to destroy them.

Qin Hao suddenly picked up Liang Hongyu and said excitedly: "Hongyu, you are my lucky star. I love you so much."

Liang Hongyu said shyly: "Your Highness, Brother Wuji is still here, let me go quickly."

Shangguan Wuji quickly turned his back, muttering, "I didn't see anything, just treat me like air."

Qin Hao quickly kissed Liang Hongyu on the mouth, then kicked Shangguan Wuji on the butt, scolding with a smile: "Can't you speak properly? Do you think you are humorous?"

"Tell me quickly, how did you deal with those bandits? You didn't kill them all!"

Shangguan Wuji said with a wronged look on his face: "Your Highness, can we kill so many bandits?"

"The general leading the army this time is Brother Wang Linhu. He said that those refugees who have just joined the army should be given a chance to reform themselves. He also gave them some rice and money so that they can make a living. As for those notorious and evil bandits, they must be torn into pieces to prevent future troubles."

"They did this along the way, seizing a lot of money and food from the bandits' dens, and even asked some homeless refugees to help transport the food."

"Okay, great!"

Qin Hao patted Shangguan Wuji on the shoulder and praised: "You did a good job."

"This Wang Linhu is really good. He has both ruthless methods and a kind heart. He is a man who can accomplish great things. I want to meet him later."

"By the way, how is the disaster relief work going in the disaster area now?"

Shangguan Wuji was in a very good mood, and said with great joy: "Your Highness, Lord Guo is an upright and selfless man. As soon as he arrived in the disaster area, he severely punished corrupt officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to the people. He also killed many gentry and wealthy businessmen who made a fortune from the national disaster, and rescued many people who were wrongfully imprisoned."

"In addition, he recruited tens of thousands of people to build water conservancy projects, dig deep wells, repair canals, clean up rivers, etc. He provided food and drink for the people who worked and paid them wages. For a time, he was supported by countless people and they responded positively."

"Is your family all right?" Qin Hao asked kindly.

"Thanks to your Highness, my family has suffered a little, but they are safe and sound."

Shangguan Wuji said excitedly: "Your Highness, my father has been reinstated. He asked me to kowtow to you on his behalf to thank you for your kindness."

After saying this, you should kowtow to express your gratitude.

Qin Hao quickly stopped him and said, "I appreciate your father's kindness, but I don't need to kowtow to you. As long as everything is fine, that's all."
