The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 347 Abolition of the Burial System

Night fell quietly and the lights came on. The lights of the palace and the stars complemented each other, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to this solemn moment.

Inside the crystal coffin, Emperor Taizong lay there quietly, looking lifelike, as if he was soundly asleep.

In front of this crystal clear coffin, everyone was moved and amazed. They watched silently, their hearts filled with admiration and remembrance for the late emperor.

Qin Hao walked up to Emperor Taizong, bowed deeply, and then kowtowed respectfully, saying, "Father, please go and follow Mother with peace of mind. Your departure fills my heart with endless sorrow. However, I know that you must want to see the prosperity of Daxia and the people live and work in peace. Don't worry, I will uphold your wishes, work hard to govern the country, and let your remains live forever!"

Then, he slowly stood up, turned around, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "I know that you are all very curious about this crystal coffin in front of you! I will explain your doubts now. This is a crystal coffin. It can keep my father's body immortal for a thousand years and be admired by all people!"

When these words came out, everyone was extremely surprised. His words were like a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, instantly igniting everyone's passion.

Qin Hao waved his hand to stop everyone from talking. Then, he spoke again, his words full of majesty and solemnity: "Now, the first thing I announce is the abolition of the ancient system of burying emperors alive with their dead. In the future, when an emperor dies, he will be placed in a crystal coffin and admired by all the people, including me."

His words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the palace. Their power was so great that it was jaw-dropping.

The crowd, which had been silent originally, was now in uproar like a wheat field swept by a violent storm, and everyone's expression quickly switched between joy and worry.

Emperor Taizong's concubines, those pampered young women, were overjoyed when they heard the news of the abolition of the system of burying people alive with the dead. They were filled with indescribable excitement and joy, as if they had finally found a sweet dew after a long drought. Their originally sad faces suddenly blossomed into brilliant smiles, like blooming flowers, appearing even more beautiful and charming.

Especially Dong Sisi, she knew all the twists and turns and inside stories behind it. She knew how much pressure Qin Hao was under and how hard he worked.

It can be said that Qin Hao bravely challenged the system that had been accumulated over thousands of years for their sake.

Although she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, wondering whether Qin Hao had other hidden purposes or bad intentions, this did not affect her good impression and admiration for Qin Hao.

These days, whenever Dong Sisi thought of the shocking secret that Qin Hao had told her, that Emperor Taizong actually intended to let her be buried alive with him, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, she lost her appetite and could not sleep at night.

She didn't want to die. There were too many things in this world that she couldn't give up. She was afraid that she would be forced to embark on the path of being buried alive at such a young age.

At this moment, Dong Sisi looked at Qin Hao with gratitude, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes, as if she was deeply grateful and admired Qin Hao.

She was the first to kneel on the ground, put her hands together, bowed deeply in the direction of Qin Hao, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Seeing this, the other concubines followed suit, and for a moment, everyone in the palace knelt down, their faces filled with happy smiles, their eyes sparkling with beautiful visions of the future.

They knew that abolishing the system of burying people alive with their dead meant that their lives were protected and they could continue to live in this world and enjoy the beauty of life.

Qin Hao stood in the crowd, looking at the scene before him, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that his words had changed the fate of countless people in front of him, and also won him the deep gratitude and respect of these concubines.

More importantly, he was able to successfully win the favor of the family forces behind these concubines, and this support contained immeasurable power.

If the family forces behind these concubines could truly unite, then their influence would be so great that it would be enough to change the color of the heaven and earth, turn the world upside down, and even overthrow the entire dynasty. It is not impossible.

This was the result of Qin Hao's careful consideration over the past few days. He wanted to use the matter of burying concubines alive with their parents to cleverly utilize the power of these concubines and the families behind them, so that these family forces, which were originally independent of each other, would begin to gather around him, paving the way for his own imperial cause, and at the same time allowing these families to see the possibility and hope of following him.

He knew that in this period of internal and external troubles, stability overrides everything. Only by winning the full support of these family forces can he remain invincible in the vortex of power.

Su Zhengfang witnessed how Qin Hao made Emperor Taizong's concubines burst into tears of gratitude in the blink of an eye, and his heart was filled with extreme anger like a violent storm.

He was well aware of how huge and powerful the families behind these women were. Their energy and influence had already penetrated into every corner of this vast empire.

For thousands of years, no one dared to touch the ancient and cruel system of burial alive with the dead. It stood like a solid fortress.

However, Qin Hao dared to challenge it so boldly, which made Su Zhengfang feel angry and helpless, and even a sense of fear spread in his heart.

To block? Or not to block?

At this moment, Su Zhengfang was full of conflicts and didn't know what to do.

If she stepped forward to stop it, would Qin Hao be angry with her, or even let her sister Su Ziyan become a victim of the burial system? If she kept silent, those concubines would probably fall into Qin Hao's arms, and the family forces behind them would also be conquered by Qin Hao.

Thinking of this, Su Zhengfang couldn't help but feel a chill. He knew very well that he had to be very careful in every step of this power game, and if he was not careful, he might be doomed.

However, how could he just watch Qin Hao move towards success step by step while he could only stand by and watch?

Su Zhengfang's eyelids moved, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Wen Qingfeng, the Minister of Rites beside him. There seemed to be a thousand words hidden in his eyes, but it seemed like just a casual glance, but it was enough to make Wen Qingfeng feel a heavy pressure.

Wen Qingfeng was not a person who liked to be in the limelight, and he didn't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power. Therefore, when Su Zhengfang suddenly looked at him, he felt a strong urge to escape. He wanted to pretend nothing had happened and ignore Su Zhengfang.

However, when he wanted to do this, the indescribable fear in his heart would surge like a tide. He knew clearly that his lifeline had long been firmly in the hands of the Su family father and son.
