The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 5 The Test from the Emperor
The two talked for a while, then fell asleep in each other's arms and slept until lunch time.
They were woken up by Yan'er. Fearing that the two masters were hungry, Yan'er bravely entered the room and walked to the bed. When she saw the clothes scattered all over the floor and bed, and the two naked bodies entangled with each other sleeping on the bed, her face flushed. It was the first time she had seen such a thing, and her heart was beating fast and she was very shy.
She leaned over and whispered in the Crown Princess' ear, "My Lady, it's time for lunch."
"Let's eat later. Find me some clean clothes and get me some hot water." The Crown Princess said in a low voice.
After the Crown Princess changed her clothes, she took the hot face towel handed to her by Yan'er and began to wipe Qin Hao's face and body. Her focused look made Yan'er blush. When she finished wiping, Qin Hao slowly woke up.
Qin Hao held Wang Yourong's hand and said, "My beloved, thank you for your hard work."
Then he ordered Yan'er to bring lunch to the room. While eating, Qin Hao asked, "Yan'er told me this morning that you have an older brother."
Wang Yourong was stunned. Why did he mention her brother? She smiled and said, "My elder brother is Wang Jian, the general of the Left Camp. I offended you because of my actions before. I apologize to you on behalf of my elder brother."
Hearing this, Qin Hao felt that his predecessor had a bad relationship with this cheap brother-in-law, and immediately comforted him, "It's okay, I haven't met my brother-in-law for a long time, please help me make an appointment with him, I want to see him."
The Crown Princess was immediately in a dilemma, and said in a trembling voice, "My brother has a stubborn temper. I'm afraid he won't see you. Even if he does, he won't be nice to you. It's better not to see you..."
Wang Yourong's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Qin Hao grabbed her hands and said, "Your eldest brother is also my eldest brother. We are one family and we should not have different opinions. I was wrong to bully you in the past, which made my eldest brother-in-law have a grudge against me. I can understand."
"Just tell him you miss him, and he will definitely meet you. Just let me know, and I'll take care of the rest. I promise I won't have conflicts with him again. Even if he wants to hit me or scold me, I won't fight back."
Wang Yourong nodded after hearing Qin Hao's heartfelt words, tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes. She immediately hugged his tall body, threw herself into his arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, you are so good to me, I have no way to repay you."
Qin Hao laughed, "That's good for you. We are husband and wife. I will treat you better in the future and let you experience the joy of being my wife. I want you to be the happiest woman in the world."
"Ok".
……
After lunch, Qin Hao planned to continue resting with his arms around Wang Yourong. Before he lay down on the bed, he received a summons from the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that the emperor was waiting for him in the imperial study.
He hurried to the imperial study, slowed down his pace outside the door, straightened his dragon robe, bowed and walked to the imperial couch, and said, "Father, you are looking for me?"
"There is no one else in the imperial study today, and no one will disturb us, so we can have a good talk."
"Okay." Qin Hao replied with a smile.
"Father asks you, what is your relationship with the Crown Princess like now?"
"Father, I am now treating Yourong with respect. I was wrong before, and I want to make it up to Yourong."
"Hahaha, you finally figured it out. The Wang family has been loyal for generations. Since the time of Taizu, their ancestors have made many achievements, and the late emperor praised them highly."
"When it came to my generation, perhaps it was because I, the king, was too ambitious and wanted to accomplish your grandfather's unfinished ambitions, so I led the army in person, but unexpectedly, it almost led to a disaster."
"You also know that my father's life was bought with the life of Rong's father. Without your sacrifice, I would have become a wandering ghost long ago."
"So, I will marry you without your consent, but you don't like it. I feel a little sorry for you."
"However, I did not do this just because the Wang family has done me a favor, but because I have been observing the daughter of the Wang family for a long time, and only then did I let her become your Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace."
"Yourong is a girl of dignified character and good upbringing. She reminds me of you, your late mother, Empress Xiaoren. Yourong is just like your mother. She is an absolutely perfect choice to be the mother of the country. I hope you can understand your father's good intentions."
"I will remember my father's teachings and I will never let the Crown Princess down."
Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly and turned to ask another question.
"What do you think about the disaster relief matter in the court today?"
"Father, disaster relief is easy. As long as we gather enough money and food to distribute to the affected people and help them rebuild their homes, the disaster will be under control soon."
"I am afraid that the imperial government's military pay will not reach the people, but will end up in the pockets of officials and businessmen. Therefore, I suggest that we investigate corruption while providing disaster relief."
"Father is very pleased that you can think of this!"
"How does the emperor want to investigate this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I don't have a good candidate yet. Minister Su and Grand Tutor Dong are forming cliques and factions in the court, making the court a mess. I don't trust those people in the court. I want to hire someone who is upright and honest and not afraid of the powerful to investigate this matter."
Hearing his son's inner plan, he was secretly delighted and said, "I recommend someone to you who can definitely help you do this."
"I wonder who my father recommended?" Qin Hao asked in surprise.
"This man is Guo Jia, a Jinshi in the 12th year of the founding of the country. Your grandfather once used him, but he was later squeezed out of the court by powerful officials. Since I ascended the throne, I have always wanted to use him, but many powerful officials in the court have hindered me and I have not been able to do so."
"I have been keeping an eye on him for years. He now runs a school in the suburbs of the capital, teaching and educating people. He is a rare talent. I am afraid that he is still brooding over what happened back then and is unwilling to serve the court."
"So whether you can use this person or not, on the one hand you have to invite him out of retirement, and on the other hand you have to maintain the stability of the court. Both are indispensable, otherwise there will be a big mess."
"This can be considered as a test from your father."
Qin Hao bowed and replied solemnly, "I will never fail my father's trust."
"You draft an imperial edict for me to appoint Guo Jia as the Supervisory Censor, a second-rank official, responsible for supervising disaster relief and financial matters."
Qin Hao quickly drafted the imperial edict, stamped it with the red seal of the imperial seal, and put it into his sleeve.
After this matter was explained, the terminally ill emperor was exhausted. Some things had to be explained in advance as he was afraid that he did not have much time left.
