The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 422: No one is perfect.

As the Liao envoy left, Qin Hao's face suddenly darkened, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on his head, making people shudder.

He handed the letter left by Yelu Lingxiao to Gao Lishi standing beside him and growled, "Read the contents of this letter aloud to me, word for word!"

Gao Lishi knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it. He took the letter carefully and began to read it aloud.

The content of the letter is simple, but it hides a huge conspiracy.

It was nothing more than revealing the fact that Qin Hao had deliberately ignored the Liao envoys, the court's attitude towards them, the amount of tax grain in Daxia in a year, and how to deal with Qin Hao.

When Gao Lishi finished reading the last word, the entire hall fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at each other in shock, but no one dared to speak easily.

This is not just a simple letter, but a naked conspiracy, and an act of treason, treason and rebellion.

No matter which one of them is involved, it is a serious crime punishable by the execution of ten generations of the clan.

Qin Hao couldn't help but sighed: "There are so many talented people in the Great Xia court. It really makes me sigh that there is such a talented person!"

"No wonder Yelu Lingxiao knows everything about our dynasty. There is a traitor working in secret, and he dares to cooperate with the Liao people to deal with me. I am really honored!"

Qin Hao's words were calm, but everyone knew that he was absolutely furious at the moment and had reached the brink of exploding, which made people shudder.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads even more, appearing a little cautious, as if they were afraid that the young emperor would vent his anger on them.

"My dear ministers, you may not know this, but the capital is very lively right now!"

Qin Hao raised his eyes and scanned the ministers, finally stopping at Su Zhengfang, with a mocking smile on his face, "Some people don't sleep late at night, and I don't know what they are planning?"

"Perhaps some people are already impatient for me to die sooner so that they can change the dynasty and realize their ambitions."

As Qin Hao finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court showed astonishment on their faces, as if a huge rock had been thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.

Last night, Qin Hao had just saved face for Daxia with his own efforts, and even won rich spoils from the Liao Kingdom in the name of a bet, which excited the entire dynasty.

However, after only one night, someone with ulterior motives dared to plot against Your Majesty at such a great opportunity. It is truly unbelievable.

Li Zhen stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this kind of behavior is a serious crime of treason and treason! If I find out who is behind this conspiracy, I will kill this villain with my own hands to serve as a warning to others!"

After Li Zhen spoke, all the ministers were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their stance, vowing to be irreconcilable with such traitors.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere instantly filled the entire court, as if a storm was about to come.

Qin Hao's eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, focused on Su Zhengfang again. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but his voice was like an ice cone piercing into people's hearts: "Minister Su, I ask you, for this traitor who collaborates with the enemy and sells out the country, in your opinion, how should I deal with it?

A gleam of light flashed across Su Zhengfang's lowered eyes, and it was gone in a flash. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This little emperor is really extraordinary. He has such deep scheming and keen insight at such a young age. He has suspected me so quickly and is forcing me to express my opinion. It's simply unbelievable.

Su Zhengfang raised his head slightly, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, looked at Qin Hao with a firm gaze, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, these people who betrayed their country and collaborated with the enemy are extremely evil and deserve to be put to death. It is not too much to execute all ten of their clans."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the crowd like a hawk. His face was gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm, oppressive and heavy. He opened his mouth slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I know about the person who secretly colluded with the Liao envoy!"

"But what I want to say is that the Liao Kingdom's scheme is sinister and cunning. Yelu Lingxiao took out this letter with the real intention of sowing seeds of suspicion between me and you, the important officials of the court, and then causing turmoil and unrest in the court so that he can take advantage of the situation."

"However, I want to make it clear here that without solid evidence, I will never take action against anyone easily, let alone kill innocent people."

Every word he spoke hit the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court like a hammer, making it impossible to ignore his majesty and determination.

Everyone was frightened and lowered their heads, not daring to meet Qin Hao's sharp gaze.

Qin Hao quietly stood up, slowly walked down the dragon throne, and came to the crowd. His voice became more and more firm, as if it was an insurmountable boundary. "I hope you can understand that the stability and prosperity of the country requires the joint efforts of each of us. Any behavior that undermines the stability of the country will be severely punished and sanctioned."

"However, although I hold the power of life and death over the world, I am not a murderer. As the ancients said, 'No one is perfect. If you make mistakes but are able to improve, the best thing is to do so.'"

"For those who have committed heinous crimes, committed unforgivable crimes, and attempted to subvert the country, I will punish them severely with thunderous wrath. Even if I cut them into pieces and exterminate their entire clan, it will not be enough to quench my hatred."

"But for those who have gone astray due to momentary confusion, I am willing to give them a chance to survive. Even if they deserve to be killed, I will leave their bodies intact as a token of mercy."

"As for their relatives and children, I will also give them lenient sentences as appropriate, and not let innocent people suffer. This is my kindness, and it is also my promise to the people of the world."

"Therefore, I hope that you, the important officials of the court, can distinguish right from wrong and understand the general situation. I hope that you will stick to your original intentions in the vortex of power and not go further and further down the wrong path."

"I expect you to lead the world by example, and I also expect you to work hand in hand with me to create a peaceful and prosperous era."

Qin Hao's words echoed in the hall like thunder. It was not just a simple statement, but more like a sword hanging over their heads, reminding them all the time to restrain those inappropriate thoughts and desires.

Everyone did not dare to delay and responded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Hao gave an order to adjourn the court and left the hall directly.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Hao appeared in the former Prince's Eastern Palace to inspect the progress of the craftsmen.

The news spread like the wind, and the guard commander Ma San moved as soon as he heard the news. He hurried over to greet Qin Hao, his heart filled with excitement, and his blood seemed to be bursting out.
