The most romantic little emperor

"Your Majesty, you...you are slandering me. You can always find excuses to accuse me!" Lu Yuanlin was terrified and did not even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said with a guilty conscience.

"Haha, even now, you still dare to quibble!"

Qin Hao sneered and said, "Your father's illegitimate daughter outside, let me say hello to you on her behalf!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap, shattering the three views of all the civil and military officials in the court.

You said you did something wrong, but you raped your half-sister and wanted to kill her. What's the difference between you and an animal?

When the ministers saw that Qin Hao's words were so convincing, they stayed away from Lu Yuanlin as if they had seen a snake or scorpion.

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. She is already dead, how could she still be alive!" Lu Yuanlin trembled on the spot and blurted out.

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

As soon as he said this, Lu Yuanlin realized that he had fallen into Qin Hao's trap and quickly denied it, "Her death had nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, what makes you say it was me?"

However, his sophistry did not win anyone's sympathy, but instead earned him ridicule and contempt from everyone.

Lu Yuanshan cursed loudly, "You bastard! Qingyu is your half-sister after all. How could you have the heart to do that to her? Today I will beat you to death for my uncle."

Seeing this, Qin Hao hurriedly called the guards and pulled Lu Yuanshan to the side hall. It was not appropriate for him to stay in such a scene any longer.

"Don't you want evidence? I will grant you your wish."

Qin Hao waved his hand and ordered directly: "Lord Feng, send someone to send all the witnesses and evidence to Fanyang and hand them over to the head of the Lu family."

"By the way, tell him that if he wants to clean up his mess, I don't mind doing it for him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanlin was so frightened that he peed himself and knelt down begging for mercy: "No, no!"

"Your Majesty, please, don't tell my uncle or my father. They will beat me to death."

Qin Hao glanced at him coldly and said in a cold voice, "Come here, throw Xie Zhenting and Lu Yuanlin into jail."

The two were also taken away by the guards.

In an instant, only four representatives of the eight major families were left, and among them, Zheng Zhiruo openly stood on Qin Hao's side.

Qin Hao glanced at the anxious representatives of the Zhao clan of Zhao County, the Wang clan of Taiyuan, and the Yang clan of Hongnong, and said sarcastically, "I am fair and give each of you a chance to show yourselves. Why are you silent again?"

"You are making it difficult for me!"

Zheng Zhiruo tried hard to suppress her smile when she heard this and almost laughed out loud.

The three representatives broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? We gladly accept the punishment!"

"Willing to accept the punishment? Great!"

Qin Hao smiled faintly and said calmly, "Go back and write a letter to your master immediately. I am waiting for them to come to the capital to discuss the plan together!"

The three of them kowtowed and said, "Yes!"

Seeing Qin Hao's methods, he easily subdued the representatives of the eight major families.

The ministers were terrified and remained silent.

Next, the Minister of War, Shen Nanheng, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a petition to submit!"

Qin Hao was delighted and said loudly, "Permission granted!"

Shen Nanheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now all the prefectures and counties across the country have actively responded to the call to join the army. We have completed the expansion of 300,000 troops and are currently in training."

"But……"

"But what?" Qin Hao asked.

Shen Nanheng said sternly, "Your Majesty, the forces of the Right Camp and the Four Great Guards have been replenished. However, the positions of Grand General in the newly added Qilin Guard and the Divine Machine Camp are still vacant. What do you think?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, looked at Li Zhen and Zhu Gui, and said calmly: "Duke Li, Duke Zhu, what do you two think?"

Li Zhen spoke first, "Your Majesty, didn't you just adopt a new son?"

"I have fought in battles for many years. Based on my experience, this young man is not only the bravest among the three armies, but also has the potential to be a great general. In less than a month, he has recruited 3,000 elite soldiers for Your Majesty. He will be of great use."

"However, if we rashly let him lead a battalion or a guard, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people. After all, his qualifications are still young. Please consider this, Your Majesty."

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Then let him be the deputy general of the Shenji Camp."

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this. It can be seen that His Majesty loves his adopted son Ye Xiaohu far more than anyone else.

As long as the position of the general of the Shenji Camp is not decided, Ye Xiaohu will be the one who gets it.

Li Zhen nodded, stroked his beard and sighed, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on having such a good general."

Upon seeing this, all the ministers applauded and agreed.

After that, Duke Zhu suggested, "Your Majesty, didn't you want to recruit talented people from all over the world?"

"Why not have the imperial court issue a martial arts invitation to all heroes in the world, inviting them to compete in martial arts competitions and select the martial arts champion?"

Qin Hao clapped his hands and laughed, "Duke Zhu, this is a brilliant plan!"

"The Autumn Examination will be held soon. Although time is a bit tight, it's still enough."

"This year's Autumn Imperial Examination and the Martial Arts Recruitment Competition will be held together. This will be led by the Military Department, with the full cooperation of the Ministry of War."

"Also, the arena competition is different from the autumn imperial examination. It will be divided into two parts. First, there will be a martial arts competition, and then there will be a test on their military strategy."

"Duke Li, Duke Zhu, and Minister Shen, the three of you must keep a close eye on me! I will interview them personally later."

Li Zhen, Zhu Gui, and Shen Nanheng said in unison: "Yes!"

……

Before the morning court session ended, the news that Ye Xiaohu was appointed deputy general of the Shenjiying Camp spread like wildfire.

The eunuch who came on orders came to the Ye family, read the imperial edict in public, and brought a lot of rewards.

Ye Xiaohu and his mother Ye were smiling happily.

Especially Ye, the smile in the corner of her eyes never stopped, and the melancholy knot in her heart for many days seemed to have been washed away by today's joy.

The entrance of the Ye family was even more crowded with people. Many families of princes and ministers even trampled down the threshold of the Ye family, wanting to make friends with the new general of the Ye family.

As for those who gossip and talk behind people's backs, they have already stayed away from them.

Many neighbors watched from afar and talked about it. While praising Ye Xiaohu for his ability, they also envied the Ye family's good luck.

After seeing off wave after wave of guests, Madam Ye stood at the door, holding her willow waist, and admonished Ye Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, you have made a name for yourself now, but don't be proud and complacent just because you are His Majesty's adopted son!"

"Now our Ye family is highly regarded by His Majesty, and I wonder how many people are watching us from behind!"

"You must keep a low profile and avoid being arrogant or self-righteous, or else bring shame to His Majesty. Do you understand?"

Ye Xiaohu hid behind his mother, massaging her shoulders and back, and chuckled, "Mom, you said this so many times last night that my ears are getting calluses."

Ye turned around, grabbed his ear, and said unhappily, "Why, are you tired of your mother's nagging?"

"You've grown up and become so capable that you already despise your mother before you even get married. If you do get married, you'll definitely forget me."

Ye Xiaohu bared his teeth and said, "Mother, how dare I do that! Let go of your hand first. If my men see us, where will I put my face?"

After Ye released Ye Xiaohu, Ye Xiaohu scratched his head and stammered, "Mother, I wanted to ask you last night. I heard that you and my adoptive father..."

Upon hearing this, Ye's eyebrows rose in shame and anger, "Don't worry about who said that. I'm not going to tear his mouth apart. And you, you bastard, how dare you make fun of your mother like that?"

"Your father died early. I have spent all these years raising you and your sister. Was it easy for me?"

As she spoke, she seemed to think of the difficult days in the past, and tears flowed involuntarily from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing his mother crying, Ye Xiaohu quickly comforted her, "Mom, that's not what I meant."

"I just miss you for all the hard work you've put in over the years, and I don't want you to waste your time on us siblings anymore."

"If mother is interested in adoptive father, I don't mind..."

After hearing what Xiaohu said, Ye inadvertently thought of that tall man. She hadn't seen him for so long and missed him a lot.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pretended to be angry and said, "You little bastard, you're asking for a fight. I'll break your legs."

Seeing this, Ye Xiaohu kicked his leg and ran away, saying as he ran: "Mom, I'm going to find Sister Ziyuan. I won't be back for lunch. I'm going straight to the military camp."

Ye chased after him and shouted, "Don't go to someone's house empty-handed!"

"I know, mother!"
