The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 219 A thorn in the flesh
Qin Hao stood up and walked in front of several sisters. He touched this sister's head, pinched that sister's face, asked about their studies, and said softly: "How about we take your brother's car later and greet your sisters-in-law together?"
Several sisters agreed in unison, their faces filled with unconcealable joy.
"Come, all of you come over and pay your respects to Father, then go out and wait for Brother outside. Brother has a few words to say to Father alone, and will come to you after I finish speaking."
The younger sisters obediently followed the instructions of their brother, the Crown Prince Qin Hao, expressed their gratitude to their father, and left happily.
Emperor Taizong witnessed this heartwarming scene and was filled with indescribable joy. The last of his doubts was instantly dispelled.
He firmly believed that after his death, the prince would treat these younger siblings as kindly as his own brothers and sisters.
He raised his finger slightly and gently pointed at the two concubines Su and Dong. His voice was slightly hoarse but full of the last bit of strength, "You should also leave... Let the father and son be alone for a while... Say a few heartfelt words..."
"This...I'm afraid it's not good!"
Concubine Dong and Concubine Su looked at each other, obviously not wanting to give the prince a chance to be alone with the emperor, and said with a little hesitation.
Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said softly: "Oh? Do you two aunts want to hear what the emperor said to his son?"
Emperor Taizong's face darkened instantly, and he angrily shouted, "Ahem...you...I haven't passed away yet, and you dare to openly disobey my orders?"
"Chen and concubine dare not!"
The two men fell to their knees in panic, kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, and then retreated cautiously.
Qin Hao's gaze followed the two figures as they walked farther and farther away, his eyes flashing with deep thought.
"Do you want to go to the mother-son relationship?"
Emperor Taizong spoke much more fluently, and asked with his last bit of strength, as if he had made a great decision.
Qin Hao shook his head, gently held Emperor Taizong's hand, and said in a low but firm voice, "Father, this matter cannot be acted rashly. Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng have controlled the government for a long time. They are powerful and deeply rooted. Once we really do this, the Su and Dong families will definitely come together, and the situation will become even more dangerous."
"Moreover, the cost of doing this is huge, and the consequences will be even greater. Father, think about it. When my brothers and sisters find out that it was you or I who killed their mother, what will they think? How will I face them? By then, the situation will be out of control, and we may even end up fighting among ourselves."
"There is one more thing. I can't bear to kill them. They are them. The Su family is the Su family, and the Dong family is the Dong family. Since they married my father, they should stand on his side. I think they will think clearly one day."
A hint of relief flashed in Emperor Taizong's eyes. He nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Qin Hao's decision.
He asked softly, "Which ministers are outside?"
When Qin Hao heard this, his heart moved. He knew that his father was paving the way for the future court.
So he told his father the names of the ministers outside.
Of course, people like Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng are fine, but even if Qin Hao is beaten to death, he will not tell anyone.
Emperor Taizong nodded slightly and said softly, "Well... there are quite a few ministers here today... they are all my most trusted ministers."
"Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng are here too! Even though you didn't say it, I know they are here."
"Ask Li Zhen, Xie An, Wang Jian, and Shi Minghan to come to the court. Father has something to tell you."
Qin Hao replied respectfully, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, outside the Yangxin Palace, all the civil and military officials of the court gathered here, waiting for the emperor's call.
Some of them came to attend the prince's wedding, while others had ulterior motives and took advantage of the prince's wedding to inquire about the emperor's condition.
Li Zhen, Xie An, Wang Jian, Shi Minghan and other ministers close to the prince gathered together and whispered something.
Their faces were full of worry and they looked towards the direction of the bedroom from time to time, obviously very concerned about Emperor Taizong's illness.
Qin Hao walked up to the four ministers, Li Zhen, Xie An, Wang Jian, and Shi Minghan, and said in a deep voice, "My lords, the emperor wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately calmed down and followed Qin Hao into the bedroom.
When Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng saw this scene, they clenched their hands and a sinister look flashed in their eyes.
They originally thought that on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, the Emperor would summon them, the important officials, to appease the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court.
However, they never expected that the emperor would summon Li Zhen, Xie An, Wang Jian, and Shi Minghan separately. These four people were the prince's confidants and had always stood on the same side with the prince.
The door to the bedroom slowly closed, blocking their view.
Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng looked at each other, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in their eyes.
They knew that these four people entered the bedroom to discuss important matters with the emperor, but they were excluded.
Su Zhengfang took a deep breath, trying to calm the uneasiness in his heart.
He walked steadily and slowly approached Dong Sicheng, and the two of them came to a deserted place together.
Su Zhengfang said coldly, "Master Dong, it seems that we have been excluded by the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and have become a thorn in their eyes and flesh."
Dong Sicheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze was as deep as a cold pond, as if he wanted to see through everything.
He sighed and said, "Minister Su, at this point, we have no way to retreat. The emperor's condition is getting worse, and the crown prince is already fully grown. They are paving the way for the future of the court, and they want to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
Su Zhengfang clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his face: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take action. Master Dong, what's your plan?"
Dong Sicheng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "We hold great power in our hands, and we have the support of more than half of the ministers in the court. Why should we be afraid of them? As long as we join forces and launch a coup, we can capture the prince and those ministers who oppose us, and the world will be ours."
