The most romantic little emperor

After Wei Zheng left.

Qin Hao looked at Xie An and the six ministers and said sternly, "I know what you are thinking."

"I also know that some of you or your families are more or less related to these aristocratic families."

"But I tell you, if you lose a woman, you can marry again, and if you lose a son, you can have another, but your life is your own. If you lose your life, then you really have nothing left."

"You all understand the principle that when people leave, the tea gets cold."

“There are many examples like this.”

"Perhaps, I will remember your past contributions and not take action against your family, but what about those aristocratic families who are willing to eat people without leaving any bones?"

"Without your protection, your wives and daughters would lie in the arms of others, your sons would call someone else their father, or even recognize a thief as their father and be beaten to death."

"Even I, the emperor, am no exception to this kind of thing."

"Therefore, in order to prevent the tragedy of Emperor Yang of Liang from happening again, I must nip all unstable factors in the bud."

"Anyone who dares to oppose me, oppose my loyal ministers and generals, and oppose my people will be my enemy. I will crush them all under my feet, without exception."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. We swear to follow you to the death, even if it means sacrificing our lives!"

Qin Hao smiled with satisfaction, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Before he could speak, several ministers took their leave.

In the huge pavilion, only Cabinet Minister Xie An and Minister of Revenue Lu Yuanshan were left.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little deserted.

Qin Hao frowned, pressed his temples lightly, and began to think hard.

Xie An and Lu Yuanshan are children of aristocratic families. Their situations are different from those of others. It is almost harder to incite rebellion against the Xie and Lu families through them than to climb up the ladder.

The two men saw that Qin Hao only needed a cup of tea to convince these ministers and make them swear allegiance to him until death.

This was the rhythm for them to cut ties with the aristocratic families, and the two of them suddenly felt a little panicked.

Seeing Qin Hao's silence, Lu Yuanshan said with a stiff upper lip, "Your Majesty, Lu Yuanlin deserves death, but most of us in the Lu family are good people. Please give us some pointers and give our Lu family a way out."

Xie An echoed, "Your Majesty, although I am a member of the Xie family, I still stand on your side. If there is a perfect method that can make my Xie family and the court reconcile, it would be the best."

"If that's not possible, please show some mercy, Your Majesty, and leave a way for the Xie family's old, young, women, and children to survive."

Qin Hao smiled slightly after hearing the two people's statements and nodded, saying, "Since ancient times, the aristocratic families have been dependent on the court on the surface, but independent of it in secret."

"If it weren't for this, if they had known when to advance and retreat and given up some of their privileges, I wouldn't be so tolerant, and I wouldn't have killed them all."

"If your two families can return to the imperial court like the Zheng family of Xingyang did, I will punish them lightly and will not mind their existence."

"But if they refuse to repent and continue to be accomplices of the enemy, or even play both sides and secretly collude with other forces, they will be aiding the enemy and will be punished for treason. I will show no mercy."

"Take these words to your respective family heads and let them take care of themselves!"

Xie An and Lu Yuanshan looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your servants will do their utmost to persuade the master of the family to return to the embrace of the court."

After the two left, Shangguan Wan'er came to the imperial garden and disrupted Qin Hao's thoughts.

"Emperor brother, why are you here? Queen sister asked us to look for you everywhere!" Shangguan Wan'er shouted loudly from a distance.

Qin Hao waited for her to approach, then personally poured her a cup of tea. He asked with interest, "Oh? The Queen asked you to come to see me. What's the matter?"

Shangguan Wan'er took a sip of water and smiled, "Brother Emperor, are you done with your work? The day after tomorrow is the day you will marry Sister Xuanxuan."

"The Queen asks you to try on the wedding gown. If it doesn't fit, you can have it altered."

Qin Hao nodded slightly and met Shangguan Wan'er's gaze. Seeing that her fair forehead was covered with sweat, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it carefully for her.

Shangguan Wan'er's face flushed instantly, and she said nervously, "Your Majesty, there are palace maids watching us!"

Qin Hao grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? I can't eat you."

Shangguan Wan'er has admired Qin Hao for a long time and has long regarded herself as his woman. Far from being disgusted by the little movements of his hands, she feels secretly happy instead.

"How could I have that!" She lowered her head and denied it flatly.

Qin Hao looked at her nervous expression, and a look of inexplicable pride appeared on his face. He couldn't help but want to tease her, "Then why are you so nervous? Your palms are wet."

As he spoke, he picked up Shangguan Wan'er and put her on his lap, looking her up and down with a playful look.

Shangguan Wan'er's face became even redder, and her palms felt numb from Qin Hao's fingers.

She leaned weakly on his shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, where is my palm wet?"

Qin Hao pulled her hand down and slid it down, laughing: "You said it wasn't wet, but it's already wet!"

Shangguan Wan'er finally understood and bit his shoulder lightly, pretending to be angry and said, "Humph, Emperor brother, you are so frivolous. If you continue like this, I will ignore you from now on."

Qin Hao had satisfied his desire and finally let her go.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly, "I heard some news about your father from Guo Jia. Do you want to hear it?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his face.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at the palace maids not far away and saw that they were lowering their heads. She quickly kissed Qin Hao on the cheek and smiled softly, "Brother Emperor, are you satisfied now?"

Qin Hao raised his chin and said with a playful smile: "You kissed the wrong place. I asked you to kiss my mouth. No, try again!"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her face turned red as if blood could drip out.

She closed her eyes tightly, pouted her lips and moved closer to Qin Hao's mouth.

Qin Hao reached out and lifted her chin, kissed her lightly, and then stopped.

For a lady from a noble family like this, you can't be impatient. It's just like cooking porridge. You have to simmer it over low heat to make the porridge delicious.

This made Qin Hao feel like he was in love, a feeling that was even more pleasurable than doing that thing directly.

When Shangguan Wan'er was kissed by Qin Hao, she felt like she was electrocuted. It turned out that this was the wonderful feeling of a kiss.

However, when she was waiting for the other party to take further action, Qin Hao stopped.

She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Qin Hao's playful look, she was too embarrassed to raise her head.

Qin Hao knew when to stop and said with a smile: "Minister Guo Ai said that your father did a good job and was a rare good official."

"I plan to transfer him to the capital to serve as an official in the near future, so that your family can be reunited."

Shangguan Wan'er's face lit up with joy, and she asked hurriedly, "When does Your Majesty plan to have him come to the capital?"

"Haha, you look so anxious, are you eager to see your parents?" Qin Hao said with a gentle smile.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly, her mood somewhat downcast as she said, "Brother Emperor, my elder brother and I have been away from home for several months now. I don't know how our parents are doing. How can I not be anxious?"

Qin Hao smiled slightly and said, "Besides this, don't you have any other ideas?"

"What do you think?" Shangguan Wan'er looked up and met his gaze, puzzled.

Qin Hao smiled evilly and said, "You just kissed me, you must be responsible for me!"

Shangguan Wan'er gently pounded Qin Hao's chest and said, "Brother Emperor, you are bullying me!"

"How can a girl be responsible for a man? Isn't it always the men who are responsible for the women?"

"If you do this again, I will tell the Queen and let her make the decision for me!"

Qin Hao scratched her nose and laughed, "How did I bully you?"

"I can't love you enough!"

"Since you don't want to be responsible for me, then I will be responsible for you, okay?"

"Hmm!" Shangguan Wan'er hummed softly, and shyly snuggled into Qin Hao's arms, not daring to look up at him.

Qin Hao kissed her crystal earlobe and said surprisingly, "How about we get on the bus first and buy the ticket later?"

Shangguan Wan'er felt as if a few ants had crawled into her ears, making them feel numb and tingling.

She didn't understand what Qin Hao meant, so she looked up at him puzzledly, her big eyes blinking, which was very cute.

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "It means they must be married first, or they must be pregnant before getting married."

Shangguan Wan'er came from a scholarly family and was a lady of noble birth. How could she have ever heard such frivolous words?

She pushed Qin Hao away, jumped off his legs, and ran away.

Qin Hao looked at her beautiful back, shook his head slightly, and said speechlessly: "Why are you running! Don't you want to?"

Shangguan Wan'er stopped, hooked her finger at him, and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Emperor, come and chase me!"

"If you can catch up with me, maybe I'll agree!"

Qin Hao secretly praised her in his heart, what a cute little elf, and said, "Okay! You said it, don't cheat and deny it later!"

"Come on! Let's talk after you catch up!" Shangguan Wan'er turned around and smiled charmingly.
