The most romantic little emperor

After hearing this, Mu Wenxiu's eyes turned slightly red and tears sparkled in her eyes, like morning dew dotted on flower petals, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

She sobbed softly, but with a firm tone: "Your Majesty's kindness, I am deeply grateful. If I can find my brother in this lifetime, it will be my greatest wish. I am willing to repay you with the rest of my life, even if I die."

Qin Hao raised his lips in a gentle arc, and whispered with a hint of teasing: "My beloved, that won't work. If I help you find your brother, how about you pledge yourself to me and give me a bunch of princes and princesses?"

When Mu Wenxiu heard this, tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but her face was already blooming with a smile as beautiful as a spring flower. She frowned slightly and pretended to be angry and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I am a pig? I gave birth to so many children for you, but you don't feel sorry for me at all. It really makes me angry and funny."

Qin Hao's smile widened when he heard this. He gently held Mu Wenxiu's soft jade hand and responded tenderly: "My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. I was negligent. Then, as you said, give me a son and a daughter to make up the word 'good'. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenxiu's cheeks flushed and she nodded shyly, tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes.

She took the opportunity to raise her head and gently kissed Qin Hao on the cheek. The kiss was full of gratitude and affection, which instantly ignited the raging fire in Qin Hao's heart. The atmosphere between the two became more and more hot and lingering.

In this warm and slightly charming atmosphere, the two continued their whispers and intimacy, as if the whole world had stopped and only their heartbeats and breathing remained, interweaving into a moving love song.

……

The next day, Dong Sicheng, in accordance with Qin Hao's order, sent those women who had the same unfortunate fate as Xiaodie into the palace.

The killers who participated in the Mu family massacre were escorted one by one to the depths of the palace and handed over to Qin Hao for handling.

The former was easy to solve. Qin Hao entrusted the group of women to the calm and capable A Yue and the smart and clever Xiao Die, allowing them to lead them into a new life with their unique wisdom and tenderness.

Faced with the heavy task of revenge, Qin Hao carefully handed it to Mu Wenxiu.

Mu Wenxiu acted cleanly and efficiently. He used the cold sword to personally end the lives of those who had harmed his Mu family.

Then, in a silent rain of tears, the long-pent-up emotions were released.

For this reason, Qin Hao transformed himself into the most gentle guardian and stayed with her all day long.

Even the urgent request for a meeting from the important minister Dong Sicheng was rejected by him without any question, which fully demonstrated his deep affection.

In a short time, the matter spread rapidly in the palace, like petals accidentally drifting in the spring breeze, causing ripples.

The palace maids were talking among themselves in private, and all of them looked at Mu Wenxiu with envy, jealousy and hatred.

After learning about this, Dong Meir came to visit Mu Wenxiu with carefully selected valuable gifts, trying to meet Qin Hao and get closer to him.

However, she never expected that her careful planning would only result in Qin Hao's ruthless rejection, which was like a basin of cold water in winter, extinguishing all her fantasies and expectations.

For two consecutive days, Dong Sicheng wore court robes, feeling uneasy, and hurriedly walked around the palace, just to ask for an audience with the almighty Qin Hao.

However, the palace gates were locked and the emperor's heart was as difficult to see as the palace walls. Qin Hao actually avoided the earnest request for a meeting from his former loyal minister.

Even Dong Sicheng's application to resign from the post of Prime Minister did not elicit any response from Qin Hao, which immediately made the Dong father and daughter somewhat disheartened.

At the same time, the situation in the capital was changing rapidly. The Zheng family, one of the eight major families, collapsed due to the crime of treason. Its prestige was gone, and only desolation and terror remained.

The rest of the noble families were like frightened birds, restless and sent their family leaders to shuttle between the court and the imperial court in an attempt to find a way to survive.

How could Qin Hao, who is well versed in the art of political intrigue, not know the subtleties involved?

Therefore, he made a clever plan, set up a banquet, and invited the managers of several major families stationed in Beijing to gather together.

During the banquet, Qin Hao spoke sincerely and with a smile on his face. His words were like a gentle spring breeze, which not only calmed the anxious hearts of the noble families, but also cleverly planted the seeds of obedience and awe in their hearts.

Qin Hao promised that as long as the noble families could abide by their duties, not overstep the line, and not do anything that goes against the will of heaven, they would have a place in the court, and everyone could share in peace and prosperity, live in harmony, and create brilliance together.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table suddenly eased. The representatives of the noble families looked at each other. Although they felt uneasy, they had to think secretly and accept this temporary compromise and balance.

When Qin Hao mentioned the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, various aristocratic families were willing to raise food and money for the court to support his Northern Expedition.

By doing this, Qin Hao not only consolidated his imperial power, but also invisibly weakened the potential threat of the aristocratic families to the imperial power, demonstrating his extraordinary wisdom and skills as a wise monarch.

That afternoon, after Qin Hao finished reviewing the last memorial on his desk, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Xiao Tianyue and Ping Wuying for a few days.

He quietly got up and was about to walk on the moon to visit the two girls. Before he walked out of the palace gate, an unexpected figure suddenly blocked his way.

Qin Hao smiled slightly, with a hint of gentleness in his helplessness. He gently raised his hand, signaling the servants to prepare the carriage, and invited Dong Sicheng to ride together. In this short time, perhaps they could resolve their misunderstandings.

Inside the car, each of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke first.

Finally, Dong Sicheng spoke slowly and earnestly, his words revealing his intention to resign from the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

However, Qin Hao just shook his head slightly and smiled faintly, "My dear Dong, I know your intentions. But please think of the country and the people's well-being. You are an indispensable pillar for me and the court. I need you."

"Mei'er's recent performance is indeed commendable. I am very pleased. I know that behind this, there must be your careful training and silent efforts."

"I am not an unkind king. I hope you can share my worries. Of course, I will not disappoint you. Therefore, please do not mention the resignation again."

After that, he changed his tone, his eyes were deep, and he continued: "Now, the domestic situation is gradually stabilizing, and the four seas are at peace. I have made up my mind to lead my troops north to recover our rivers and mountains and regain our lost territory. Your family is talented and far-sighted. I wonder if you have any unique opinions on this grand plan?"

Dong Sicheng had long seen through Qin Hao's intention of launching a northern expedition, and he was fully prepared for this visit.

He slowly leaned forward and saluted with both hands, his manner was humble and sincere: "Your Majesty is wise and far-sighted, and I admire you very much. Later, I will call together my cabinet colleagues to discuss the major plans, and strive to work together with all of us to achieve your majesty's grand plan. What do you think?"

Qin Hao heard this and a gentle smile appeared on his lips, his eyes flickering with an imperceptible light: "Dong Qing's family, if this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, all the past will be like the past clouds and smoke, and will not be mentioned again. However, when it comes to the matter of conferring the title of Queen, I still have a question in my mind, I wonder what you mean?"
