The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 9 The Troubles Resurface
After wasting some time, Qin Hao touched Wang Yourong's body hard several times, and then walked towards the Tai Chi Hall slowly and unhurriedly.
When he entered the court, all the ministers were already there.
Qin Hao stood there and did not sit down. He looked at the loyal ministers and glanced around. He found that the seat of Minister Su was vacant. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He had just entrusted him with an important task yesterday, but this old man did not attend the court today.
Qin Hao asked in a deep voice, "General Su Yong, why didn't your father attend the morning court?"
Su Yong stood up, his eyes revealing disdain, but he still bowed and replied, "Your Highness, yesterday you asked my father to provide disaster relief. He did not dare to be lazy at all and actively raised money. He worked hard all day and did not rest until very late. Last night, he caught a cold and has been ill ever since."
"Your Highness, my father asked me to apologize to you before the morning court session. He said that he failed your Highness' trust and asked for your punishment."
After saying this, Su Yong burst into tears, looking as sad as if his father had died.
Su Zhengfang is only in his early forties, at the prime of life. It is very strange that he fell ill at this critical moment.
Combined with Su Yong’s exaggerated performance just now, although his acting skills are superb, they are also full of loopholes.
However, Qin Hao did not expose Su Yong's lie and slowly sat down.
His face became very solemn, and he said sadly, "Minister Su is loyal, has always been diligent and hardworking, and has made great contributions to the court."
"I am deeply sympathetic to the sad news that he is seriously ill. General Su, please do not be sad. Please tell Minister Su to let him recover from his illness in peace. I will visit him in person when I am free in the next two days."
Hearing the prince praising his father so highly, Su Yong stopped his performance, a smug look appeared on his face, and he knelt down to thank the prince.
This little episode was soon over.
Qin Hao cleared his throat and then asked, "My fellow ministers, disaster relief is imminent. Is there anyone willing to share this burden with me and take on this task?"
"Everyone can discuss individual candidates or recommend someone. Let's talk about it!"
After that, the ministers discussed it, but no one was willing to take responsibility for it.
Qin Hao was quite annoyed when he saw the appearance of the ministers in the court. In such a huge court, no one was willing to share the worries of the emperor. He, as the prince, was so cowardly. It seemed that most of these people were rotten to the core. The remaining ones also wanted to share the worries of the emperor, but they were forced by the situation and could only go with the flow.
Qin Hao was unwilling, but he didn't want to say anything more. He glanced at Dong Sicheng, who was at the front, and said in a deep voice, "Master Dong, are you willing to accept the important task, save the people from the disaster, and solve the problems for the court?"
However, Dong Sicheng did not intend to accept the prince's kindness. He just stared at the ground without raising his eyes. He bowed in the direction where Qin Hao was sitting and said, "Your Highness, I am old and cannot take on the heavy responsibility. Let's give the opportunity to younger and more capable officials so as not to delay your Highness's important affairs."
Qin Hao was greatly disappointed and furious. He said angrily, "Yesterday I asked you to stop the construction of Yongle Palace, sell off assets, and raise money for military pay. How much money have you raised now?"
Dong Sicheng took this matter to heart yesterday. This shrine was built at the instigation of his youngest daughter Dong Meir. If he stopped the construction and sold it, his daughter would be very angry with him. Therefore, he would rather offend the prince than make his daughter unhappy. He also secretly figured it out that after all, he was his father-in-law and his daughter was deeply loved, so he thought the prince would not dare to do anything to him.
After thinking for a while, he showed an embarrassment and said with a sad face, "Your Highness, the construction of the divine work is a big matter. If you move one thing, it will affect the whole body and involve the interests of all parties. Once the construction is stopped, many people will make trouble. Besides, those things can't raise much money by selling them at a low price, so I ask Your Highness to withdraw the order."
When Qin Hao heard that Dong Sicheng had openly disobeyed his orders and asked him to retract his orders, he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it directly on Dong Sicheng. The tea in the cup splashed everywhere, leaving water stains all over his face and body, making him look very embarrassed.
Dong Sicheng was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that the prince would be so angry and make fun of him in front of so many people. How could he save his face in the future?
Is this still the prince? He used to be very fond of the Dong family and obeyed their orders. How could there be such a big change?
However, before he could figure it out, an even more terrifying voice reached his ears. Qin Hao's face was extremely gloomy, and he said directly, "Dong Sicheng, you don't want to be the Grand Tutor anymore. You openly disobeyed my order. I will forgive you this time because it's your first offense. If you do it again, I will settle the old and new accounts together and peel off your skin."
"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, and you don't have to worry about it in the future."
Dong Sicheng's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly, venting his dissatisfaction.
The ministers in the court looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them had expected that the Crown Prince would directly declare war on the Grand Tutor today. Of course, some were happy and some were sad, but everyone was surprisingly united. Even the cronies who often followed Minister Dong around, no one dared to touch Qin Hao's bad luck again.
Afterwards, Qin Hao asked a few trivial questions, and the ministers answered cautiously, fearing that the prince would use them as a target.
The more this happened, the angrier Qin Hao became. By the end of the conversation, his face was covered with frost and he was frighteningly cold.
Fortunately, Qin Hao did not ask any more questions. Finally, he announced the adjournment of the court and walked straight to the side hall of Taiji Palace.
