The most romantic little emperor

Just as he was about to step out of the door, Qin Hao's leisurely voice came slowly, "Oh, by the way, your cousin must be very happy to hear that you are back. I will tell her the good news later so that she can share this joy."

Qin Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but secretly speculate, what is the intention of his royal brother's words? Is he trying to criticize him in a subtle way? Or has he already known about his affair with his cousin Mei'er? A feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart, making him uneasy.

He suddenly stopped and turned around involuntarily. His face was full of surprise and confusion, and he stared at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao waved his hand gently, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly urged: "Go quickly, let's talk about the old times together tonight!"

Qin Feng looked at his pure smile, and the doubts in his heart instantly dissipated. He said goodbye to Qin Hao again, then turned around and left the room resolutely.

Qin Hao looked at his receding back, a sinister smile on his face, and murmured to himself: "Second brother, I hope you have listened to my warning. If you dare to have some inappropriate thoughts, I don't mind..."

After neglecting state affairs for several days, memorials had already piled up on the desk. Although Shangguan Wan'er's comments were meticulous and concise, Qin Hao still felt a little overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

He flipped through a few pages at random, then reluctantly put it aside. Even though he had been here for so long, he still hadn't fully adapted to handling such high-intensity government affairs.

However, when he thought about the fact that his predecessor was a waste who only knew how to indulge in pleasure, and that he was just a special forces soldier before he traveled through time, he was okay at fighting, but it was indeed difficult for him to handle government affairs.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao felt much more at ease. Perhaps it was time to set up his own cabinet. In this way, there would be someone to share these trivial matters, and he would be able to be relieved.

So he called Luo Yang in and gave him a brief instruction: "Send someone immediately to invite Grand Tutor Xie and Lord Shi here as soon as possible."

Not long after, Xie An and Li Minghan came in a hurry. Qin Hao didn't bother to be polite with them and quickly told them that he wanted to set up a cabinet.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, because it was the first time they heard the term cabinet, and for a moment they did not dare to express their opinions easily.

Xie An frowned, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, I feel that the so-called cabinet system is quite similar to the prime minister system. Why not follow the old system and restore the prime minister system? This would be more appropriate."

Li Minghan also hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, all dynasties have adopted the prime minister system. Our dynasty also adopted this system before, but it was shelved by the current emperor after the tragedy of the Mu family's annihilation. Now it is reinstated to fight against the Su family and the Dong family. Therefore, this old minister agrees with Master Xie's suggestion."

Qin Hao's eyes swept over the two of them, then he shook his head and asked in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, do you know why such a tragedy happened to the Mu family back then?"

Li Minghan's expression became more solemn. He took a long breath and sighed softly, "Your Highness, I have known Prime Minister Mu for many years and I know his hatred for the Su and Dong families. He secretly collected a lot of evidence of their crimes, which led to the persecution of his entire family. This is a tragedy for our Great Xia."

Qin Hao nodded gently, his eyes showing deep agreement. He continued to ask: "Then have you ever thought about why the emperor put the prime minister system on hold?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They did not dare to guess the emperor's intentions, nor did they think deeply about the reasons behind it.

Xie An said modestly: "Your Highness, please help us solve this problem."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his voice low and firm, "That's because after what happened to the Mu family that year, my father has deeply realized that no matter how much he uses the Mu family, he will be suppressed by the Su family and the Dong family. This is also the most important reason why he decided to temporarily shelve the prime minister system after the Mu family."

"No matter who sits in that position, he will become the target of joint attacks and suppression by the Su family and the Dong family. Over time, the position of prime minister will inevitably fall into the hands of a certain family, and the power will be unbalanced again, forming a one-sided situation. When that time comes, the imperial power will be in jeopardy, and treacherous officials will take the opportunity to stir up trouble. The Great Xia Dynasty will once again fall into a turbulent situation."

Both of them were shocked when they heard this. They never expected that the emperor's thoughts back then were so far-reaching. Li Minghan, in particular, fell into deep self-blame.

Li Minghan looked regretful. He bowed to Qin Hao and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. The current emperor is wise. I advised the emperor to withdraw his order many times, but I failed to understand his deep meaning. I really regret it!"

"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. Father was helpless at the time. Lord Li, there is no need to blame yourself."

Qin Hao waved his hand and said softly, "This is also why I firmly disagree with the restoration of the prime minister system."

He paused slightly, his eyes flashing with determination, nodded and smiled, "My two beloved ministers, I know what you are thinking, and I understand that you are not afraid of confronting the Su and Dong families, but I don't want you to make unnecessary sacrifices for me. The cabinet system is like boiling a frog in warm water, seemingly gentle, but actually deadly. It can inadvertently and gradually weaken the power of the Su and Dong families, preventing them from further growing and eventually forming a three-legged situation. This is the decision made after careful consideration by the king, and it is also the king's greatest expectation for you."

His eyes swept across the faces of the two ministers, his eyes flashing with a firm and deep light, as if he could see through their inner thoughts. Although his words were plain, they were full of power and irresistible.

Xie An's eyes sparkled with a gleam of light, and he flattered the horse at the right time: "What a wonderful way to boil a frog in warm water, what a great way to stand on three legs, it's really wonderful! Your Highness is wise, and I would like to hear more about it."

Seeing Xie An had seized the opportunity, Li Minghan looked at him with dissatisfaction, and quickly adjusted his state of mind, echoing: "Your Highness's plan of boiling a frog in warm water kills two birds with one stone, which is a unique strategy. We admire it very much!"

Seeing that the two were persuaded by his words, Qin Hao's emotions became more and more excited. He spoke nonstop: "Although the cabinet and the prime minister system have similarities, they are also fundamentally different. The cabinet will bring together many wise and capable people to discuss state affairs together, rather than the prime minister making decisions alone. This move is aimed at ensuring that the national policy of our Great Xia is more wise and fair. In addition, the cabinet also has the right to review memorials..."
