The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao's face changed and he said angrily, "This king hates those who don't respect their teachers the most."

"Someone, take Kong Boli out."

"Tell the Imperial Censor to investigate whether he has committed any crime of corruption or abuse of power. If not, that's fine. But if he has, and the evidence is irrefutable, investigate strictly and dismiss him if necessary. If necessary, his property will be confiscated. This king will not tolerate it."

Kong Boli knelt down and begged for mercy, "Prince, I am innocent! Please let me go!"

Qin Hao was determined to take action against Su Zhengfang and his gang, and he remained unmoved when he heard his crying.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one came to plead for him, which further confirmed his guilt.

Soon, the palace guards dragged the crying Kong Boli out, only to find that he was already scared to death.

Qin Hao swept his eyes over the ministers' objections and said, "Do you have any objections? Why not tell me? I am the most humble and willing to accept advice."

The ministers were silent, still terrified, and none of them dared to disobey the prince, fearing that they would be the next Kong Boli.

Qin Hao turned his head and aimed his gaze at Gao Lishi. He slowly took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "Old Gao, read it to the ministers."

Gao Lishi took the imperial edict and read it aloud, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, decrees that Guo Jia be appointed Imperial Censor, a second-rank official, to be fully responsible for disaster relief. I decree this!"

Guo Jia kowtowed to express his gratitude, and then said, "Your Highness, disaster relief is urgent. May I ask how the money and food for disaster relief are being raised?"

Qin Hao was in a good mood and asked, "Master Dong, how much silver and grain do you estimate is needed for disaster relief?"

"Your Highness, according to the analysis I have collected, the disaster is serious. The affected area covers the entire Hedong area, and the number of people affected exceeds 100,000. It is preliminarily estimated that at least 2 million taels of silver and 50,000 shi of grain will be needed. The specific data still needs further statistics."

Qin Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought to himself why are there so many?

He frowned and said, "Lord Lu, how much supplies can the Ministry of Revenue allocate to the disaster area now?"

Lu Yuanshan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped forward and bowed, answering, "Your Highness, the national treasury currently has less than 500,000 taels of silver and less than 10,000 dan of grain, which is far from enough for disaster relief!"

"Besides, these funds and grains need to be used in other places. The troops stationed on the borders still need a lot of food and wages. Many troops have been without food and wages for several months."

Hearing Lu Yuanshan's words, Qin Hao's good mood disappeared immediately, and he said unhappily, "Alright, stop crying poor. I won't listen to your explanation. By this time tomorrow, your Ministry of Revenue must raise 500,000 taels of silver and 10,000 dan of grain to give to Guo Jia for disaster relief. Otherwise, I will hold you accountable."

Lu Yuanshan said with a sad face, "Your Highness, I really can't raise so much money and food in such a short time. Aren't you trying to kill me?"

Qin Hao ignored Lu Yuanshan's crying poor and waved his hand to shut him up, "If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out. Don't just stand there and make room for others."

Lu Yuanshan wanted to cry but had no tears, and dared not say a word.

Dong Sicheng stood there and watched coldly. He had originally intended to attack the prince today, but he didn't expect that the prince would directly attack Su Zhengfang's followers. While he was happy, he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The conflict between the Su and Dong families has been going on for a long time. Who doesn't want to be the most powerful family in Daxia? Therefore, the harder the prince fights with the Su family, the more beneficial it will be for him. When they are both defeated, that will be the time when his Dong family will be the only one in power, and then the Dong family will surely move to a higher level.

So he chose to lie dormant and wait for the right opportunity to act.

The reason why he was uneasy was that the prince actually won this struggle. If the prince's previous cowardice and debauchery were pretended, then he would be terrible.
