The most romantic little emperor

At dawn the next day, the sky was blue and the breeze was gentle, bringing tranquility and freshness.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the square of the imperial palace, which was particularly warm and washed away the blood of the generals who were executed here last night, but it still could not wash away the murderous atmosphere.

Last night, Li Mingyuan, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and Ma Hu, deputy vanguard general of the right camp, attempted to rebel and assassinate the current emperor and the crown prince. They have been secretly imprisoned in the Sky Prison and their lives and deaths are uncertain.

Yuan Huchen, the vanguard general of the right camp, also participated in the rebellion. He was executed overnight, and his property was confiscated. His entire family was imprisoned. An unknown fate awaited them, perhaps exile thousands of miles away, or perhaps death or beheading.

All the officials and generals implicated in the incident met with tragic endings. This killing was even more brutal than the previous assassination, and the death toll was multiplied many times.

As the news came out, the entire capital was in an uproar, and the entire capital city exploded!

At this moment, densely packed human heads were hung on the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, covered in blood, a shocking sight.

When the ministers went to court, they were all shocked by these heads. They were all extremely taboo and terrified at the mere mention of tigers, fearing that they would become the next target.

The entire court of Daxia was shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Many knowledgeable people can see that this is a contest between the royal family and powerful officials. A battle for power and survival has begun.

Daxia, the world is really going to change!

Qin Hao walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a dignified posture and a strong body, and reappeared in the Taiji Hall after a few days. There was no sign of weakness in his movements, let alone a dying state.

Su Zhengfang only took a quick glance and already saw through the truth of the matter. He felt mixed emotions. He had been deceived. The little prince in front of him was not critically ill at all. He had been played around by him.

He closed his eyes and stood there motionless, with many questions in his mind. How did he do it? Was he pretending to be sick all along? Was he deliberately luring himself into the trap?

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and no one dared to say a word. After all, the crime of treason was proven beyond doubt, so who would dare to get involved?

Qin Hao sat on a high place, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's as he glanced at the civil and military officials kneeling below, with a satisfied smile on his face. But when his eyes fell on Su Zhengfang, they instantly became icy cold.

Qin Hao cursed in his heart, this old fox was so cunning that he couldn't find any flaws. Without solid evidence, he really had no way to deal with Su Zhengfang.

The hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and everyone was in danger, as if a storm could break out at any time. Once the rebellion was exposed, there would be rivers of blood and countless people would be implicated.

Qin Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the right time, and he had to wait for an opportunity to completely overthrow Su Zhengfang.

Su Zhengfang did not express any opinion, and even seemed indifferent to the life and death of Li Mingyuan and Ma Hu, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Qin Hao acted decisively and replaced more than ten officials on the spot. These were all exposed by Li Mingyuan last night. They belonged to the Su family camp and were loyal followers of Su Zhengfang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he did not hesitate to seize these powers into his own hands to consolidate his position.

Su Zhengfang was angry but dared not say anything. He wanted to step forward to argue several times, but in the end he did not take that step. He could only curse a few words in his heart.

"Your Highness, I have the audacity to make a statement. Yuan Huchen, Li Mingyuan, and Ma Hu are plotting treason. The evidence is irrefutable. All nine generations of their clans should be executed!"

Wei Zheng stepped forward, the anger on his face difficult to conceal. He was very disgusted with the rebellious behavior of these traitors and suggested that Qin Hao cut the weeds and root them out to prevent future troubles.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, and immediately developed a good impression of this outspoken old man. After all, at this juncture, he dared to stand up and make suggestions, which was not something everyone could do. He was indeed a man who dared to confront the emperor.

He gave Su Zhengfang a meaningful look, and then said calmly: "Regarding the case of treason and the accomplices involved, I will personally try them. You don't need to worry about this matter, Lord Wei."

The faces of many ministers in the court changed, especially those from the Su Group. The expressions on their faces were as dull as eggplants hit by frost.

"That's the end of it."

Qin Hao said calmly, "Lord Fan, I order you in the Ministry of Justice to carefully interrogate the accomplices. Arrest one for every one you find out. No matter who is involved, even if he is a royal relative or an important official of the court, arrest him!"

Then, he glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, and said with a tired tone, "This king has just recovered from a serious illness, and I am a little tired. My dear ministers, please go away first. If there is anything important, you can report to this king individually."

After saying that, Qin Hao stood up and chose to leave directly. He was not furious as imagined, but rather extremely relaxed.

Because in the final analysis, this so-called rebellion was a carefully planned plot by Qin Hao from beginning to end, and Su Zhengfang's side was passively hooked. So, no matter how you look at it, Qin Hao's victory was not very glorious.

After walking a distance, he suddenly stopped, his eyes swept over the kneeling civil and military officials, and said with a meaningful smile: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, my dear ministers, just behave yourself and don't commit any crime. I will not punish anyone indiscriminately."

He paused and continued, "Of course, if anyone among you has committed a crime, you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes to me. If you are sincere, I am willing to give you a chance to atone for your sins."

After he finished speaking, all the ministers lowered their heads, looked at each other, and speculated in their hearts.

Among them, many people's eyes unconsciously fell on Su Zhengfang, complex emotions surged in their hearts, and they began to weigh the pros and cons.

Su Zhengfang's eyes flashed with a deep light. He stared at Qin Yun's receding back and thought to himself, "What a great move! Now, I guess all the neutral ministers in the court will turn to the crown prince, and some of my ministers will probably have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. The situation will become increasingly unfavorable to me."

"Damn it, this little prince is going to gain momentum. Without realizing it, he has accumulated so much power that it will be even harder to deal with him in the future."

"Alas! From now on, I'm afraid I have to keep a low profile and act carefully."
