The most romantic little emperor

Su Zhengfang raised his head slightly and continued, "Your Majesty, although they have made mistakes, they are all out of respect and loyalty to the imperial power. Please give them a chance to reform themselves because they are wholeheartedly serving the country. Let them serve the court again and benefit the people."

It has to be said that Su Zhengfang's words were indeed very beautiful. They pushed Qin Hao to the forefront and perfectly exonerated this minister.

Qin Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he saw through everything. He knew Su Zhengfang's plan in his heart, and couldn't help but curse inwardly: "This old fox, even at this time, he is still playing these tricks of nitpicking. Are you trying to arouse the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials in the court against me? Since you are so determined, then I will fulfill your wish."

He turned his gaze to Su Zhengfang, revealing a sly smile in the corner of his eyes, and said lightly: "My dear Su, I know about the will you mentioned. When my father was dying, he did leave a will, clearly passing the throne to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a blockbuster bomb had been dropped on the square, causing an uproar.

The ministers looked at each other, some showed joy, while others frowned and were full of worry. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense, as if a storm was about to come.

Su Zhengfang's eyes swept across Qin Hao's face sharply, trying to catch a hint of flaws and distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.

However, to his disappointment, Qin Hao's face showed confidence and determination, without any trace of lying.

This made Su Zhengfang feel inexplicably angry. He thought to himself, "Since you have the will in your hand, why don't you just show it to others? Are you trying to test people's hearts and see who is truly loyal to you?"

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, he did not show any of them on the surface. He just stared at Qin Hao quietly, waiting for his next move.

Dong Sicheng's heart was also in turmoil. Although he had already secretly figured out that Emperor Taizong intended to pass the throne to Qin Hao, which should have made him happy, but when he thought of the tangled relationship between his daughter and Qin Hao and Qin Feng, his mood became complicated and even a bit of a headache.

What's more, Mei'er has always wanted to replace the position of Crown Princess, but Crown Princess Wang Yourong is still sitting firmly in the position.

Now, almost everyone in the East Palace respected and trusted Wang Yourong. Even Qin Hao's three new concubines and his favorite confidantes obeyed Wang Yourong's instructions and arrangements wholeheartedly. Her prestige and influence had reached an unprecedented height in the East Palace.

If Qin Hao really ascends the throne, Wang Yourong will inevitably become the queen who rules the country. By then, wouldn't Mei'er's situation become even more delicate and precarious?

No, we must not let Wang Yourong, this potential threat, live another day.

Dong Sicheng made up his mind secretly. He knew that he had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise once Qin Hao ascended the throne, everything would become uncontrollable. He had to plan carefully to see how to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

At this moment, Qin Hao's voice resounded in the air again, and his words carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, "I originally planned to properly arrange my father's funeral first, and then read the will in public at the enthronement ceremony three days later. Since you are so eager to see my father's last wish, I will fulfill your desire."

"Lord Gao, I order you to accompany General Li Zhen, Grand Tutor Xie, and Shi Minghan to retrieve my father's will. The three of them know where the will is hidden, so you must be careful and make no mistakes."

Gao Lishi bowed and agreed, and immediately arranged for someone to accompany Li Zhen, Xie An and Shi Minghan to get the late emperor's edict.

Su Zhengfang's heart suddenly sank, and he felt that something was wrong. Originally, he still held a faint hope in his heart, hoping that Emperor Taizong had not left a will, so that things might turn around.

However, reality severely shattered his fantasy. The shrewd Emperor Taizong had already secretly made a will, and Li Zhen, Xie An, and Shi Minghan knew about it in advance. I'm afraid they were the ministers left by the old man to Qin Hao. They had planned it long ago. Aren't they deliberately guarding against me?

At this moment, Su Zhengfang felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He knew that he must take action immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Once the contents of the will are announced to the world and confirm that the throne will be passed to Qin Hao, then Qin Hao's throne will become legitimate, and it will be much more difficult to overthrow him at that time.

He must do everything he can to prevent all this from happening. As long as Qin Hao has not officially ascended the throne, there is still a chance for everything.

Su Zhengfang's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. He moved his body slightly, kowtowed deeply again, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, the late emperor just passed away, and we cannot delay. This old minister begs Your Majesty to deal with Emperor Taizong's affairs first, so that he can rest in peace. As for other matters, it will not be too late to deal with them later."

Wen Tai, Kong Boli and others immediately understood what Su Zhengfang meant, and they stood up and echoed Su Zhengfang's proposal, persuading Qin Hao to give priority to the funeral of Emperor Taizong.

Qin Hao, who has lived two lives, knew what they were up to. However, he saw through it but did not say anything. He was thinking about how to make use of this incident and set a trap to fool Su Zhengfang, the old fox.

At this time, an official from the Imperial Observatory came up to Qin Hao and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is approaching. It's time for you to preside over the burial ceremony of the late emperor."

Qin Hao looked embarrassed and pretended to be unwilling. He remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

Qin Feng, who was standing aside, saw Qin Hao like this, sighed, and said softly: "Brother, father's affairs are the most important, and we, as children, should fulfill our filial duties. Don't miss the auspicious time, let father go in peace."

At this time, General Li Zhen also stood up. He walked up to Qin Hao and comforted him in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important, and the coffin ceremony of Emperor Taizong is the top priority. We can deal with other matters later. Now, please lead the civil and military officials to preside over the coffin ceremony."

Qin Hao finally nodded. He glanced at Su Zhengfang and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a steady tone: "All of you get up and follow me to attend the burial ceremony of our father."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back at the person behind him.
