The most romantic little emperor

Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng are two hostile camps. Are they now on the same page?

No, there must be a conspiracy behind this. The two of them must have reached some kind of agreement and want to join forces to deal with me.

Damn it, I went to great lengths to create a rift between Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng, but within just a few days, the two of them are together again.

The old saying is really right, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies. In the face of sufficient interests, human nature, haha, is nothing but a joke.

Su Yong couldn't help but feel proud when he heard so many people supporting him. He stepped forward and said to Qin Hao in a loud voice: "Your Highness, I will not fail in my mission. I promise to eradicate all the bandits and rebels in the Hedong area within ten days and bring that thief Xiang to justice. I will wait for your Highness to decide!"

Hearing this, Qin Hao had to put away his thoughts, forced a smile, clapped his hands several times, and praised repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good!"

He looked at Su Zhengfang and praised him, "Minister Su, I have to say that a good father will have a good son. You gave birth to a good son."

After that, he turned his gaze to Su Yong and asked cordially, "General Su, how are the preparations for the Right Camp going?"

Su Yong stood up with his head held high, clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted, saying: "Your Highness, the soldiers of the Left Camp are already rubbing their hands and ready to go. We will go out bravely and serve our country with all our might at your command!"

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said in a gentle voice: "The Su family has been loyal for generations. They are the pillars of our Great Xia country. They are really a blessing to the country!"

As he spoke, he took out a heavy tiger talisman from his bosom, walked up to Su Yong, solemnly handed it to him, and solemnly instructed: "General Su Yong, I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of Bandit Suppression, and order you to lead the 10,000 elite troops of the Right Camp to set off immediately to quell the rebellion. I hope you will live up to everyone's expectations and return triumphantly as soon as possible to bring peace and tranquility to Daxia."

Su Yong knelt on one knee and respectfully took the heavy tiger talisman with both hands, his eyes flashing with excitement.

His voice choked with sobs as he said sincerely, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Seeing this, Qin Hao personally stepped forward and helped him up, gently patting Su Yong's strong shoulders. His eyes were full of concern and he spoke in a deep tone, as if a loving father was seeing off his son who was about to go to war.

"General Su, the situation is urgent. The day before yesterday, I asked General Wang Jian to lead 3,000 soldiers to Hedong. You can meet up with him first and capture the rebels in one fell swoop. I will wait for good news in the palace."

Su Yong bowed and accepted the order, then left in a hurry.

Qin Hao slowly sat back in his seat, his eyes wandering over everyone's faces, and asked softly, "In these troubled times, I intend to form the Qilin Guard to strengthen the defense of the capital. What do you think of this, my dear ministers?"

Everyone was caught off guard by Qin Hao's sudden proposal. They looked at each other in confusion.

Suddenly, voices of discussion arose one after another in the court.

Dong Sicheng secretly observed Su Zhengfang and saw that he looked calm as water, as if he had known about this for a long time. He felt something was wrong.

He secretly wondered, could it be that the prince had reached some unknown agreement with this cunning old fox in private?

At this critical moment, Wei Zheng stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the treasury is empty now, and we can't even pay the soldiers. Where will you raise money to form a new army?"

As Wei Zheng spoke, other ministers raised questions one after another. The court was suddenly filled with noise and arguments.

Qin Hao sat there, observing all this quietly without interrupting their discussion. He picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips, as if everyone's discussion had nothing to do with him.

When the discussion in the court gradually subsided, Qin Hao slowly said, "Master Dong, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Faced with the prince's sudden question, Dong Sicheng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, I don't manage the Ministry of Revenue, why are you asking me? Isn't this something that Su Zhengfang, the Minister of Revenue, should be in charge of? Why did it fall on me?

This matter is too strange.

He secretly glanced at Su Zhengfang, only to see that the old fox Su Zhengfang narrowed his eyes slightly and turned a deaf ear to the prince's questions. He had no idea what the old fox was thinking.

Qin Hao stared at Dong Sicheng with a smile, quietly waiting for his response.

Dong Sicheng pondered for a moment, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. Without money, the prince actually wanted to form a new army. Isn't this just a daydream?

So he shook his head slightly and said casually: "A good cook cannot cook without rice."

"If Your Highness can raise the money, let alone forming the Qilin Guard, even if it is to form a new army, I have no objection."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, Master Dong, this is what you said, don't regret it later!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Dong Sicheng, but turned his gaze to Su Zhengfang, as if seeking the support of the Minister of Revenue.

Dong Sicheng's heart sank suddenly, and his intuition told him that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the prince and Su Zhengfang had already secretly colluded and reached some kind of unspeakable agreement.

In an instant, the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Zhengfang became unfriendly, and he cursed in his heart, "Old man, I just recommended Su Yong. I must have been blind to believe his lies."

Damn it, Su Zhengfang, this old fox, actually dared to plot against him. Cooperating with him is simply courting death. He really regrets it!

Su Zhengfang had a smug smile on his face, and like a cunning fox, he spoke slowly, "Your Highness, it's not impossible to form the Qilin Guard, but..."

Qin Hao smiled faintly and said, "Minister Su, you can say whatever you want. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the court, I will never be stingy with rewards."

"Your Highness, it is not difficult to solve the problem at hand."

Su Zhengfang was as steady as an old dog, and said seriously: "I think that the empty treasury is only a temporary predicament. We can adopt the strategy of exchanging space for time and build the framework of Qilin Guard first."

"Oh? Space for time? This statement is quite novel. It's the first time I've heard of it. I'd like to hear more about it." Qin Hao smiled slightly, pretending to be a young man eager to learn. He held his chin with both hands, as if he was listening attentively.

Su Zhengfang was secretly delighted in his heart. This method was originally thought of by Qin Hao. Now that he said it out loud, it felt really wonderful.

"Your Highness, this so-called exchanging space for time, in short, is to temporarily withdraw some troops from the two battalions and four guards and inject them into the new army. In this way, the overall force has not increased or decreased, but a stronger combat power can be formed in a short period of time."
