Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

An official standing a little ahead stepped forward. Leng Qing took a quick glance and knew that this man was Zhao Yu's father.

"Your Majesty, I have failed to educate my son. Here are thirty thousand taels of silver. I would like to take my son back and give him a good lesson. I hope Your Majesty will grant me this."

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Two young eunuchs helped Prince Zhao carry Zhao Yu out, while Yan Zili was still gritting his teeth and holding on on the other side.

He is not as wealthy as Zhao Yu. His family is a distant relative of the Duke of Zhenguo. The five thousand taels are already half of his fortune. He wants to continue to make money in the position of quartermaster.

It was not until the 32nd stroke that Yan Zili could no longer bear it and shouted for a stop.

Leng Qing waved his hand and the eunuchs immediately cleaned up the scene and went down with boards.

"Is your father there too?"

"Your Majesty, please send someone to inform my family that I don't have that much money on me right now."

Yan Zhentian, who was standing at the front, had an ugly expression on his face. He couldn't just ignore it after all. If his own sons and nephews didn't care about him, how could his subordinates truly serve him?

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This is my distant cousin. I'm derelict in my duty to behave in such a way. I paid the fine on behalf of this worthless nephew."

"You are joking, Duke Zhenguo. This is not a fine. This is clearly the money for the board. Let's treat it one way or the other."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please forgive me for any mistakes I made in expressing myself."

"Forget it, go back and read more books."

"Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

Yan Zhentian took out 18,000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Nie Yueming in frustration, and the anger in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

Most of the court officials were spoiled and had never suffered any hardship. Although they would punish their servants on weekdays, no one would watch them. So most of them saw such a bloody scene for the first time, with their waists, buttocks and thighs all covered in blood.

They always thought that beating with a board meant using ordinary wooden boards, but who would have thought that it was a board with nails.

They couldn't help but think of the emperor's reputation as a tyrant. It seemed that the emperor was really going to become a tyrant.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. Now they all felt pain in their buttocks and wanted to go home quickly. How could they have the mood to make a report?

Seeing their unpredictable expressions, Leng Qing raised the corners of his lips.

This is just the beginning. If she wasn't afraid that her personality would change so much and arouse suspicion, she would chop off most of the heads of the court.

"Let's adjourn the court. The heads of each department should remember to submit their memorials. I want to see them tomorrow."

"Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."

After seeing Leng Qing leave in a big stride, these ministers dared to gather in groups of three or five to discuss how their emperor knew that Gao Shanqing, a minor official, had taken bribes.

There were still a few people who bribed Gao Shanqing and patted their chests with lingering fear. Although they didn't care about the money, if the emperor brought it up today, losing money would be a small matter, but being beaten with a stick and losing face would be a big deal.

Late at night, two of Yan Zhentian’s confidants were having a heated discussion at the Duke’s Mansion.

One advocates restraining one's edge, while the other advocates winning over all possible forces to take advantage of the emperor's weakness to complete their plan.

"Now that the Emperor is powerful and that person has been driven out of the capital, we must not act rashly and bide our time looking for another opportunity."

"The Emperor has only recently begun to gain power, so we should act quickly while he still has a lot of power. Otherwise, how will we accomplish anything once he becomes powerful?"

"Alright, stop arguing. The Duke has his own plans. You should just stay calm for the time being and wait for my next move."

After the two confidants left, Yan Zhentian once again took out the secret letter written to him by Yan Ruju.

I thought for a long time before making a decision.

The next day, Leng Qingyi took Zhongli Yuan to see the memorial.

Zhongli Yuan was shocked when he saw the contents of the memorial. In the past, when encountering problems, the ministers would discuss for half a month but could not find any good solutions.

It's only been four days, and he has seen many feasible solutions.

Leng Qingyi naturally saw it as well, but these signatures had been tampered with, which was better, as it would make it easier for him to win over the hearts of those capable people without any background.

"Alas, these measures are good, and I also want to implement these policies that benefit the people one by one, but unfortunately the treasury is empty, and without money, I can't take a single step."

"What are you afraid of? Just raiding two corrupt officials is enough. Earning money isn't easy. Yesterday, we raided Gao Shanqing's house and found over 80,000 taels of silver. Add to that the 48,000 taels from the two men who were beaten with sticks, and the total is 130,000 taels. This 130,000 taels is enough to feed the 30,000 soldiers in the camp outside the capital and get their pay."

"It is indeed sufficient, but our dynasty has more than just the Grand Camp outside the capital. Wouldn't it be disheartening to the other soldiers if we show such partiality?"

"Hanxin? Those soldiers are like sharp swords to you. They might pierce your heart at any time, and you are still worried about them."

"With their master like that, what can these low-ranking soldiers do? Even if they are not of use to me, they are still Dongxia people after all. If the enemy country invades one day, they will still fight in the battlefield."

"I'm wondering if spending a few days in the harem has made you even more indecisive? Given Dongxia's current situation, if an enemy nation truly wanted to attack you, even if they didn't destroy your nation, they would at least lose a significant portion of their territory."

"I understand what you said, but you can see my situation. I have no help from my relatives, and no support from my Yue family. I really don't know why they didn't stop me from ascending the throne a year ago if they wanted my throne so much."

"Of course it's the will of heaven. How can you deliver food to the Son of Fortune if you don't ascend the throne? If any other powerful prince ascends the throne, the Son of Fortune won't be able to seize the throne so easily." Leng Qingyi said this secretly in his heart.

"Just watch and see how I make your Dongxia bigger and stronger."

Leng Qing looked at this person who was sitting half-butt on the chair with the attitude of a woman, and felt quite disdainful.

Even if an emperor becomes a woman, he should not be a woman bound by feudal ethics. Life was difficult for women in that era, but he was once a man and had never experienced those things. He should not be as timid as those women who were poisoned by the times.

"Bring me with you next time you go to court."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If you go, won't you cause trouble for me?"

"I can pretend to be a palace maid beside you."

"Okay, then I'll help you this time and show you how to be an emperor."

Zhongli Yuan felt a little complicated when he looked at the man sitting behind the imperial desk with a big horse and golden sword. Could it be that he was really not suitable to be the emperor?

Otherwise, how could a playboy who came from nowhere point fingers at him?

Hearing is not as good as believing. He wanted to see with his own eyes how this self-righteous playboy governed the country for him.
