The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 658: Hitting the Ministers
"Your Majesty, my daughter has no status and no status. Where can I put my face? I can't explain to my family either!" Xie An said with tears in his eyes.
Qin Hao glanced at him, as if to say, that is your family affair, what does it have to do with me.
He turned to look at Lu Yuanshan and said calmly: "And you, Lord Lu, I'm sure you won't have any objections either!"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Please listen to me..." Lu Yuanshan's face turned dark and he wanted to explain in a panic.
Qin Hao did not give him a chance to explain, and said to Wei Zheng who was secretly delighted: "My dear Wei, my sister is also of marriageable age, and I want to find a prince consort for her. I think Ye Xiaohu is not bad, what do you think?"
Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up and tried his best to explain: "Your Majesty, you just gave my granddaughter to Ye Xiaohu in marriage. This may be inappropriate!"
"Moreover, the queen is of noble status. How can Ye Xiaohu be worthy of her? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Qin Hao nodded and agreed, "What a pity, but my sister has repeatedly inquired about Ye Xiaohu. If *** is really interested in him, I can't stop her. Oh, it's really annoying!"
Wei Zheng saw that Qin Hao was not ready to release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, so he hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the grain issue. I will ask my wife to talk to the Wang family. Whether it is to lower the grain price or donate grain to the court, it is easy to negotiate."
"But I have something else to ask, Your Majesty..."
Qin Hao smiled slightly and said pointedly: "Lord Wei is very righteous, unlike some people who only want to pick peaches without putting in any effort, and even want me to take her daughter as my concubine. There is no such good thing in the world."
Seeing that Qin Hao was picking on him, Xie An quickly expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, as long as you agree to marry my daughter, the food issue is a small matter. You can have as much as you want, and you can decide the price. Is that okay?"
Seeing that Xie An was not a man of honor, Lu Yuanshan dared not hesitate any longer and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my Lu family will follow your lead in the future and we dare not refuse. Please sign a marriage contract with my daughter!"
Qin Hao was delighted when he heard this, and laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, I promised you something, how can I go back on my word!"
Xie An and Lu Yuanshan looked at each other. Although they felt that Qin Hao had schemed against them, it was worth it to be able to become royal relatives.
Seeing that Qin Hao never mentioned anything about him, Wei Zheng said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you haven't agreed to what I just asked you to do?"
Qin Hao pretended to be confused and asked, "Is there? What is it? My dear ministers, I don't think I promised you anything!"
"On the contrary, Lord Wei not only lowered the grain price, but also donated grain. This loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is truly a role model for the court!"
"Don't worry, my dear Lord Wei. When your granddaughter Wei Ziyuan and Ye Xiaohu get married, I will not only give them a generous gift, but I will also personally officiate at the wedding for them. How do you think?"
When everyone saw Wei Zheng being humiliated by Qin Hao, they suddenly couldn't stop laughing.
Dong Sicheng did not forget to tease this old rival, and laughed: "Sir Wei, Your Majesty is so kind, I envy you so much, why don't you thank the emperor for his grace!"
Wei Zheng was so angry when he saw Qin Hao talking about something else, but he could do nothing but bow and thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
After bowing and thanking him, he still did not give up and continued, "Your Majesty, you see, my eldest grandson is not young anymore..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the shrewd Dong Sicheng already understood what Wei Zheng was up to.
He interrupted him hastily and said sarcastically, "Old Wei, don't think I don't know what you are up to. Not only does your grandson idle around all day, he also hangs out in brothels and drinks. Don't bring shame to others by saying this."
When Wei Zheng saw Dong Sicheng exposing his past in public and speaking so badly of his grandson, he became so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Regardless of the occasion, he angrily said, "Old Dong, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're the Prime Minister. To tell you the truth, your son is not much better than my grandson."
Dong Sicheng didn't take it seriously when he heard it, but was complacent. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest son Dong Wenwu is both civil and military, and has extraordinary wisdom. He has been in love with you for a long time. I hope Your Majesty can grant him a marriage contract."
Wei Zheng saw that Dong Sicheng was deliberately opposing him, not only breaking up the marriage between his grandson and his aunt, but also proposing to His Majesty for his son's marriage. How could he let it go?
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Dong's daughter has become the Imperial Consort. If General Dong marries another woman, I'm afraid..."
Wei Zheng deliberately did not finish his words, and instead looked at the other ministers, as if to say, *** wants to get married, if you remain indifferent, then the Dong family will have to take advantage of it!
Everyone looked at each other. Under normal circumstances, no one wanted to offend Prime Minister Dong.
But people are selfish. When faced with a marriage proposal, no one wants to be left behind. They all rush to praise their unmarried sons and grandchildren to the skies, hoping that this great thing will happen to their families.
Dong Sicheng was so angry that he stamped his feet and said angrily: "Old Wei, you and me are really going too far!"
Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Old Dong! You can't just allow the governor to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps! Also, who your majesty wants to marry is a matter between your majesty and your wife. It's not good for us, as ministers, to interfere too much!"
Qin Hao was angry when he saw Wei Zheng was taking the blame on him. He slammed the table and shouted, "What are you arguing about? You think my study is a market. How disgraceful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Qin Hao calmed down and tapped meaningfully, "You are all my confidants, cabinet ministers, and ministers of various departments. It's ok for you to quarrel on weekdays, but for today's matter, no matter who you are, once you leave this room, you must forget the unpleasantness just now."
"Otherwise, I will be unhappy."
"As for ***'s marriage, I promise not to interfere too much. No matter which of you she likes, I will agree. How about that?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zuo Wenxuan casually.
Zuo Wenxuan and Qin Hao looked at each other, feeling somewhat confused. What does this have to do with me?
It is important for people to know themselves. Think about it, he is just a common scholar, and his father is so noble, how dare he have improper thoughts.
Therefore, he did not take this matter to heart and just regarded it as an unintentional glance by Qin Hao.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Since His Majesty has promised not to interfere, it means fair competition. As for who will win the prize, it all depends on their own ability.
At this moment, their minds have drifted to their homes, thinking about how to teach their children and grandchildren when they get home, hoping that their own children can gain the favor of their parents.
Qin Hao took in the changes in the expressions of the people present, and with a smile on his face, he continued, "Food is the foundation of a country. I hope you can work together with the court and contribute a little!"
"Of course, I will also take your efforts into consideration. This is also a test for whether your descendants can become the prince consort of the emperor."
"One more thing. No matter who you are or which noble family you come from, you should be more careful."
"If someone dares to hold my bowl but do something to destroy my rice bowl, I will never agree to it!"
After saying this, he walked straight out of the imperial study, not giving anyone a chance to speak.
There was no change in the expressions of Zuo Wenxuan and the others.
The expressions of Dong Sicheng, Xie An, Wei Zheng and others were somewhat complicated.
I have to say that Qin Hao's criticism was obvious enough.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Dong Sicheng and others bowed together.
