The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 216 Emergency Military Information

Just as Qin Hao and the girls were enjoying this rare pleasure, Old Feng hurried in.

Qin Hao's heart tightened when he saw this. He knew that the appearance of Master Feng meant that something important was happening.

He took two steps at a time and hurried to meet him. The two of them walked side by side to the side hall.

Before Qin Hao could sit down, Old Feng spoke hurriedly, "The Jinyiwei reported that while we were busy dealing with the Blood Killing Alliance last night, Su Zhengfang secretly gathered his close associates and gathered together to plot something."

"The Su Mansion is heavily guarded. Our people dare not approach. In my opinion, this move must be suspicious. We have to be on guard."

Qin Hao frowned, feeling uneasy.

Is Su Zhengfang, the old fox who has been hiding in the dark, finally starting to make some moves?

He summoned his confidants, was he plotting some conspiracy?

The atmosphere in the side hall was solemn.

Qin Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. He knew clearly that he had to remain calm at this moment in order to deal with the coming storm.

He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, order the Jinyiwei and Shadow Guards to strengthen their vigilance and closely monitor the movements of the Su family father and son and their cronies."

"At the same time, notify Zhu Gui, Wang Jian, and Li Mu to mobilize manpower and prepare to deal with possible changes. On the one hand, we must strengthen the defense of the capital, and on the other hand, closely monitor the movements of the Right Camp and the Xuanwu Guard to prevent mutiny."

Qin Hao thought of Dong Meir's unusual behavior just now and felt a little worried about her. He ordered, "Order the shadow guards to secretly monitor Dong Meir's every move. Don't alert the enemy. Report any situation in time."

Old Feng nodded slightly, bowed his head and accepted the order, and the two of them went out together.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Wang Yourong frowned, feeling uneasy, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and asked with concern.

Facing Wang Yourong's concerned eyes, Qin Hao walked to Wang Yourong, gently held her hand, and smiled faintly: "My beloved concubine, don't worry. It's just a small matter. Elder Feng will take care of it."

"really?"

Wang Yourong was still not relieved after hearing this, and expressed his concerns, "Your Highness, my eyelids were twitching just now. Why do I always feel like something big is happening?"

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

Qin Hao didn't want to make him worry, so he forced a calm smile on his face, a firm light flashed in his eyes, and he comforted him softly, "You must not have slept well last night, so you have this illusion."

"Don't worry! No matter what happens, you don't have to be afraid as long as I am here. I can turn my hand to make clouds and rain. With just one hand, I can suppress all storms."

Wang Yourong held Qin Hao's hand and said softly, "I believe you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Qin Hao looked at Wang Yourong gratefully, patted her soft jade hands, and said with a chuckle: "My beloved, with you guys supporting me behind me, I am omnipotent and invincible."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the silence of the palace.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent military situation!"

A guard of the Imperial Guards rushed in, his face full of tension and anxiety. He knelt on the ground and presented a secret report with both hands.

Qin Hao frowned, an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He quickly took the secret report, glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed color.

The contents of the secret report shocked him, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

"My dear, it seems that this storm is more severe than I thought."

Qin Hao took a deep breath, tightly grasped Wang Yourong's hand, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "But no matter what, I will not let you get hurt."

"Your Highness, what exactly is written in the secret report?" Wang Yourong asked without thinking.

It stands to reason that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, so Qin Hao could have completely ignored it, but in order to dispel Wang Yourong's concerns, he still spoke out.

But he said in a deep voice: "This is a handwritten letter from Lord Guo. The letter says that the war has reignited in Hedong. The leader of the bandits, Gao Gongxiang, has taken over the mountains and proclaimed himself king. He is committing all kinds of crimes, burning, killing, looting and robbing wealthy merchants at will."

"Now that Hedong is experiencing a severe drought and the people are living in poverty, he took advantage of this opportunity to swallow up three counties, slaughtered local officials, and opened the granaries to release grain without authorization."

"He used the pretext of 'robbing the rich to help the poor, equalizing land and exempting taxes' to incite the people and coerce tens of thousands of people to join his rebel army. He also secretly released prisoners from three counties. The momentum was so great that the danger to Hedong was imminent."

As Qin Hao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became solemn.

Guo Xuanxuan was very emotional when she heard the conversation between the two. She ran over and grabbed Qin Hao's arm tightly, and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, how is my father? Will he be in trouble?"

Qin Hao patted her delicate hands and comforted her, "Don't worry, sister Xuanxuan, your father will be fine. Now most of the troops in Hedong are in the hands of the court. Lord Guo is the Imperial Censor and a second-rank official. He can mobilize the troops in Hedong to fight the enemy with all his strength."

"Besides, I sent 500 elite soldiers to protect Lord Guo. He will be fine. Don't worry!"

Guo Xuanxuan finally let go of Qin Hao's arm, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

She lowered her eyes and apologized to Qin Hao in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Wang Yourong's face turned pale with fear, and he said worriedly, "Your Highness, the rebels are coming with such force, what can we do? Tens of thousands of people are being held hostage, and if we don't handle this properly, it will probably cause even greater unrest."

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with coldness. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Gao Gongxiang, this thief, dared to openly rebel. He must be quelled quickly!"

He turned to look at Mu Wenxiu and ordered, "Notify General Wang Jian immediately to come see me in person. I want him to lead the elite troops of the capital to Hedong to suppress the rebellion! You must put down the rebellion as quickly as possible with the force of thunder and lightning!"

"Also, send a message to Li Zhen, Xie An, Shi Minghan, Feng Huaiyu, Fan Wenhai, Sun Yi, Feng Jin and others to rush here quickly."

Mu Wenxiu bowed and accepted the order and left.

The girls looked at Qin Hao's orderly arrangements and suddenly felt relieved. Their nervousness disappeared and was replaced by an inexplicable trust and admiration.
