The most romantic little emperor

Although Qin Hao today has great ambitions to overthrow the old order and establish new rules, he must also act with caution to ensure that the relationship between the imperial court and the aristocratic families is like the strings of a musical instrument, tense yet harmonious.

Qin Hao thought for a moment, then turned to Dong Sicheng and said, "Pass on my order. For those who are not deeply implicated, let's see how they perform. If they can satisfy me, I will forgive them."

"Master Dong, since they have come to us with this matter, you should handle it."

Dong Sicheng listened carefully from the side. He naturally understood Qin Hao's intention. He wanted him to gain as much benefit as possible from those aristocratic families.

He nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will do my best to handle this matter properly."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Hao proposed the idea of ​​establishing a cabinet. His voice echoed in the hall, full of decisiveness and confidence.

This idea was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Dong Sicheng, Xie An, Shi Minghan and others understood the situation and expressed their agreement and support.

Although those military generals were not very good at internal affairs, they understood the far-reaching significance of Qin Hao's move, so they did not have any objections.

The atmosphere throughout the process was harmonious and the formation of the cabinet was passed unanimously.

Qin Hao smiled slightly, revealing a bit of calmness and composure in that smile: "Since the cabinet has been established, then next, I will finalize the cabinet list."

"The cabinet will have one chief minister, one deputy minister, and three members, a total of five people. They will assist me in handling daily government affairs."

He glanced at the ministers present and continued, "Everyone present here is a loyal minister of Daxia. You are all capable and there is no need to say more."

"But everything requires seniority and prestige, especially the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, who is the head of the civil officials. Therefore, the position of the chief minister of the cabinet must be occupied by a person of virtue."

"I have decided to let Dong Taifu serve as the first cabinet chief. The second cabinet chief will be recommended by the first cabinet chief. The cabinet members will be recommended by the first cabinet chief and the second cabinet chief. Do you have any objections?"

As Qin Hao finished speaking, there was silence in the imperial study.

Everyone present knew that this was Qin Hao's trust and expectation in them, and it was also a great opportunity for them to showcase their talents.

Therefore, everyone tacitly did not refute Qin Hao's well-considered proposal.

Dong Sicheng naturally took the throne of the first prime minister of the cabinet and became a leader among civil officials.

For a while, congratulations came one after another, and Dong Sicheng showed a rare satisfied smile on his face.

In response to Qin Hao's sincere treatment, Dong Sicheng reciprocated by recommending Xie An as the second assistant of the cabinet.

Afterwards, Dong Sicheng and Xie An jointly nominated Wei Zheng, Minister of Personnel Tang Jinchen, and Minister of Rites Shi Minghan to join the cabinet, forming a new cabinet of Daxia.

After learning that he had become a member of the cabinet, Tang Jinchen felt that the responsibility was heavy. At the same time, he also felt that he was too old and might not be able to handle the busy government affairs.

So he took the initiative to resign and gave up the important task of Minister of Personnel.

This decision undoubtedly provided an opportunity for Zhu Yongan, the eldest son of Zhu Gui, Duke of Zhu.

With the recommendation of Tang Jinchen, Qin Hao made the final decision, and Zhu Yongan, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, successfully took over the position of the Minister of Personnel, becoming the youngest minister in the history of Daxia.

In an instant, the imperial study was filled with a joyful atmosphere, as if even the air was filled with the fragrance of joy.

Qin Hao looked at the joyous scene in front of him and couldn't help but pat his forehead with a self-deprecating smile: "There are so many things to deal with in my head that I even forgot such an important thing."

He glanced at all the generals present and said loudly, "Last night, all the generals and commanders fought hard to save the emperor and made great contributions. I must reward you handsomely!"

"Later, I will discuss with General Li and decide on rewards for each general based on their merits."

"Generals, please rest assured that I will remember your heroic performance. I promise that every general who has made contributions to saving the emperor will receive the due reward!"

"You will be granted titles of nobility, gold, silver and treasures, and everything will be given without fail!"

After these words were spoken, excitement showed on the faces of all the generals. They knew that their loyalty and dedication had finally been recognized and rewarded by the emperor.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. We will swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death, and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The generals knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, their voices shaking the palace like thunder, demonstrating their loyalty and determination.

Qin Hao gently waved the dragon robe in his hand, signaling them to stand up.

Then, he spoke slowly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "My dear ministers, the remnants of Su Zhengfang have been cleared out, but there are still undercurrents in the court, the people's livelihood is declining, and there is a lot of work to be done."

"I earnestly hope that you can join us in this great cause and work together to help my Great Xia regain its vitality as soon as possible."

The ministers responded in unison, their voices loud and passionate, "We, the ministers, will obey your orders and work hard until our death!"

Among these people, some are truly loyal to Daxia and hope to contribute their own strength to this land.

Some people are opportunistic and want to seek benefits for themselves and their families.

Qin Hao had a clear mind and knew the true thoughts of these ministers.

But he did not choose to kill them all, because he knew very well that various voices and forces were needed to maintain the balance in the court.

I just hope these people can stay sober at critical moments and not make mistakes on major issues.

After a moment of silence, Qin Hao decided to give these people a warning, especially the old man Dong Sicheng.

He spoke slowly, with unquestionable majesty: "The blood in front of the Taiji Palace has not yet been shed. I hope you can remember Su Zhengfang's end. Anyone who dares to challenge the imperial power and plots against the law will lose his head and his family will be destroyed!"

The last eight words hit everyone's heart like a hammer, deafening and chilling.

The ministers were shocked by Qin Hao's majesty, and a feeling of awe surged in their hearts. They knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty! We will keep your teachings in mind and will never slack off in the slightest!"

Su Zhengfang's end was tragic enough, so they naturally didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of following in his footsteps.

Qin Hao nodded and looked at the ministers kneeling in front of him with satisfaction. He took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and began to think about what he needed to explain next.

After confirming that no one was left out, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
