The most romantic little emperor

Although he was dissatisfied with Qin Feng, Dong Sicheng did not dare to speak out easily. After all, the current situation was beyond his expectations, and he had to be careful to avoid getting into trouble.

A sly gleam flashed across Su Zhengfang's eyes. He leisurely enjoyed the good show in front of him, secretly rejoicing in his heart: "I only used a little trick to make you two brothers fight so fiercely. It's really satisfying! Keep fighting! Fight to your heart's content! Let the storm come even more violently!"

At this moment, the third prince Qin Yu stood up, a sneer of disdain flashed across his face, and he said lightly: "Second brother, why do you have to say so much? Big brother has his own sense of propriety, how can you interfere? Besides, if the king orders his subjects to die, the subjects must die. Don't you understand this principle? Or do you have evil intentions and want to use this to win people's hearts and secretly covet Big brother's throne?"

Qin Feng was speechless for a moment. It was not that he did not want to refute, but Qin Yu's words were like a sharp blade piercing his heart.

Moreover, with such a sensitive matter being discussed in front of so many people, the more you argue, the easier it is to get yourself into deeper trouble. If you are not careful, you may end up being neither a good person nor a good person.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He originally just wanted to think about the overall situation and remind his elder brother to think twice before acting, but he didn't expect Qin Yu to expose his inner thoughts so ruthlessly.

Now, he could only shut his mouth helplessly and endure the embarrassment and helplessness silently.

The eighth prince Qin Yun saw his own brother being bullied by his third brother Qin Yu, and he could not help but feel angry. He could no longer hold back and stood up to defend his second brother, saying, "Third brother, how can you be so harsh on my second brother? He just meant well, why are you so mean?"

"Good intentions?"

The Sixth Prince Qin Yuan sneered and said sarcastically, "Humph, Eighth Brother, if Second Brother really had good intentions, how could he not care about Big Brother's dignity and be so treacherous? Don't forget what our father said before he died. Big Brother is now the emperor, and as princes, we should protect Big Brother's dignity."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, the other princes also wanted to speak up to defend the dignity of their eldest brother Qin Hao.

Qin Hao cared a lot about the friendship between his brothers. At this moment, he saw that his brothers were a little impulsive, and he couldn't help but frowned. He hurried forward to stop them. He whispered to comfort them: "Second brother, eighth brother, I understand your good intentions. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I know my limits. I will not really let Lord Wei die. I just want to teach this old stubborn a lesson, so that he can restrain himself and know what is the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."

Qin Feng and Qin Yun were even more embarrassed when they heard this. They realized that their impulsiveness had brought them trouble, so they lowered their heads and apologized to Qin Hao: "Your Majesty, we know we were wrong, please forgive us."

Qin Hao patted the two men on the shoulders, sighed softly, and said earnestly: "Never mind, you are also loyal. I hope you can learn from your mistakes and be more stable in the future. I will be more pleased if you don't act impulsively."

Although Su Zhengfang did not hear what they said specifically, he became anxious when he saw how Qin Hao resolved the tense situation with just a few words. He did not want Qin Hao and his brothers to reach a settlement so easily, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.

So he slightly side-glanced at those trusted ministers out of the corner of his eye.

They understood what he meant and immediately stood up in unison, knelt on the ground, and advised: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince's words are very convincing, you really can't let us, the old ministers, feel disappointed!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is only concerned with stabilizing the hearts of the court officials. You should understand his difficulties. Please take out the Emperor Taizong's edict of succession and point out the direction for us!"

"Your Majesty, if you do not agree, we will kneel down and not get up."

……

All of a sudden, more and more ministers stood up and spoke up for Wei Zheng. Their voices rose one after another, echoing throughout the entire square.

However, Wei Zheng did not feel the slightest bit of joy. He turned around and looked at the ministers who spoke for him. Suddenly he came to his senses and his face turned pale as paper, as if all the blood had been drained away at this moment.

A strong sense of uneasiness hung over his heart like a dark cloud, making him feel as if he was stepping step by step into a trap carefully designed by others.

Fear and anger intertwined and spread in his heart, like a cold wind penetrating his bones, making him feel unprecedented coldness, as if he had entered an ice cave.

He knew very well that he was in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment, and if he was not careful, he might be doomed.

So, he knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed to Qin Hao repeatedly. His forehead soon bled, but he seemed to feel no pain, and he did not stop until the blood dyed the ground red.

His voice was tearful and trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, I have committed a capital crime. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy and spare my life!" His voice echoed in the empty court, sounding extremely desolate and desperate.

And those ministers who had been speaking for him fell silent at this moment. They looked at Wei Zheng's trembling and desperate back, and an inexplicable chill surged in their hearts.

Qin Hao's cold eyes swept across the ministers kneeling on the ground, and finally fixed on Wei Zheng. He said coldly: "My dear Wei, why do you need to perform such a great ceremony? Do you really want to use this to fulfill your reputation as "Daxia's No. 1 Honest Minister" and let me bear the stigma of being unkind and unjust?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's heart trembled, and he immediately stopped kowtowing, choking with sobs as he said, "I would never dare to have such an intention. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy and for sparing my life."

Qin Hao sneered, pretending to be still angry, and shouted: "You old stubborn man, do you really think I dare not kill you? If it weren't for the fact that you are a veteran of two dynasties and were blinded by a traitor, how could I spare your life!"

"I hope you can reflect deeply on what happened today. If you dare to do this again in the future, I will never forgive you!"

This tactic of combining kindness and force was simply ingenious, and it completely defeated Wei Zheng, leaving him with only admiration and awe in his heart.

He knelt down hurriedly, his forehead pressed against the cold ground, and kowtowed respectfully with both hands, saying gratefully: "I will remember the emperor's teachings, and I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future and never make the same mistake again."

Qin Hao's anger subsided a little, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up. I will not pursue the matter today because I think you are old and weak. But you must remember that as an important official of the court, you should put the country first and never be deceived by villains again."
