The most romantic little emperor

Tonight is destined not to be peaceful.

After the death of the late emperor, Qin Feng had been in the palace for the past two days, without taking off his clothes and hardly sleeping for a moment. He was already as tired as a dog. He finally returned to the palace and wanted to take a good bath and have a good rest. Unexpectedly, the black-robed monk had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait to ask him what happened in the palace.

The death of the late emperor made the whole palace shrouded in sorrow, and Qin Feng was extremely busy in the past two days. He did not take off his clothes, did not leave the palace for a moment, and almost did not sleep all night, in order to deal with the late emperor's funeral and many affairs in the palace.

At this moment, he was already exhausted, like a busy dog.

After finally returning to his palace, Qin Feng wanted to take a good bath to wash away his fatigue and dust, and then lie on the soft bed to have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, the black-robed monk had been waiting in the palace for a long time, with an anxious and concerned expression on his face. When he saw Qin Feng coming back, he couldn't wait to come up to him and ask about what happened in the palace.

"My lord, you are finally back!"

The black-robed monk said, "I have heard about what happened in the palace. Now can you tell me what happened?"

Qin Feng glanced at him, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but for the sake of his own grand plan, he suppressed his fatigue and truthfully informed the black-robed monk sitting opposite him about all the events that had taken place in the palace.

In the study, the dim candlelight flickered, and the shadows of two people were stretched out on the wall.

Qin Feng spoke in detail, from the power struggle in the palace to the rumors that the prince was about to ascend the throne, not missing a single detail. Although his voice was calm, it revealed an indescribable heaviness.

After listening to Qin Feng's narration, the black-robed monk frowned tightly. He pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Your Highness, there will definitely be turmoil in the capital during this period. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne as emperor. This is a foregone conclusion. I think you should return to your fiefdom as soon as possible to avoid being involved, otherwise it will be too late to regret!"

Qin Feng was in the middle of it, so he naturally knew that the black-robed monk was telling the truth, but he still felt unwilling. Facing the temptation of imperial power, he wanted more, and he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him from his eldest brother immediately. However, the reality was so cruel that he had to face it.

Finally, he nodded and whispered, "What you said makes sense. I will consider it."

The black-robed monk said anxiously, "Your Highness, you can't wait any longer. You must leave the capital without delay. The capital is in turmoil right now, and there are many crises. Every moment you stay here will bring you more unknown risks. Perhaps you haven't heard that not long ago, the soldiers of the Zuo Camp wiped out a hidden assassin's nest in a dense forest deep in the mountains by the Grand Canal."

"The amount of gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies they seized is staggering. There are even rumors that those things are enough to equip tens of thousands of troops. Do you know what this means?"

The sudden heavy news hit Qin Feng's heart like a violent storm, causing a series of turbulent waves. He looked surprised and couldn't help asking, "How could such a thing happen? Where did you get this news? Is there any mistake?"

The black-robed monk frowned slightly when he heard this, and his tone was anxious and serious: "Your Highness, it has come to this critical moment. How could I joke with you about such a big thing? This is the exact information our people just found out. This matter is absolutely true and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart after hearing this. He nodded and whispered to himself, "No wonder my brother has been so worried today. It seems that he is troubled by this matter."

"Your Highness, there is someone else eyeing the throne now. If we are not careful, we will get into trouble. It is best for us to return to your fiefdom first and take it step by step." The black-robed monk advised.

Qin Feng was well aware of the importance of this news and the huge impact it might have.

However, for him, all this was an unexpected opportunity. He knew that such a rare opportunity must not slip away easily, otherwise, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

Qin Feng stood there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said firmly: "Master, this may be the turning point we need. We might as well wait a little longer to see how the situation will develop."

The black-robed monk looked at him and shook his head helplessly. He knew that the young prince had made up his mind and could not be shaken. He sighed and asked in a deep voice, "Prince, have you really made up your mind?"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, as if to absorb all his courage and determination into his body. He nodded heavily, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

At midnight, Wang Jian secretly entered the palace. With a solemn expression, he walked straight to Qin Hao and reported to him in person, "Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory in this operation. We have seized more than 20,000 dan of grain, countless gold, silver and jewelry, which is converted into silver. The initial estimate is at least 5 million taels. There are also a wide variety of armors, weapons and equipment, nearly 20,000 sets. In addition, there are countless baggage and supplies."

Although Qin Hao had known the news for a long time, when he heard Wang Jian's detailed report, those astonishingly huge numbers still made him a little frightened. He nodded calmly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

However, Wang Jian did not stop there. He took a deep breath and continued, "More importantly, I found a lot of new equipment from the Ministry of Industry among the seized weapons and equipment. These weapons and equipment have not yet been popularized in the army. At the same time, there are also some old equipment that have been eliminated in the army. Although these equipment are new and old, they are enough to equip an army of 20,000 people."

At this point, Wang Jian's tone suddenly became serious: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I suspect that someone is secretly colluding with foreign enemies with ill intentions. We must investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent a catastrophe."

Qin Hao frowned when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, do you have any specific suspects in your mind?"

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, then replied solemnly, "Your Majesty, I suspect that this matter involves many officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, and even many generals from the Right Camp are very likely involved."

"You mean, the mastermind behind all this is the father and son of the Su family! Then, is there anyone in the Xuanwu Guard who is also involved in this conspiracy?" Qin Hao sneered, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and continued to ask.
