Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

At the morning court session that day, before Leng Qingyi began to express her opinion on the plans, six ministers came out crying and their words impliedly demanded an explanation from the emperor.

Leng Qing's expression remained unchanged, but the newly recruited eunuch behind him glanced coldly at the suffering ministers below.

The ministers who felt this cold gaze raised their heads slightly and saw that it was a strange young eunuch, but they did not take it seriously. They thought that the emperor was going to start building up his own power.

"Prime Minister, I don't understand what they are saying."

Leng Wuqin, who was staring at the strange-looking eunuch behind the emperor, came to his senses when his name was suddenly called.

"Your Majesty, I think they might want to seek justice for their daughter who died in the palace the other day."

Leng Wuqin glanced at the ministers who were kneeling down and told the truth without any hesitation, with no concealment of contempt in his eyes.

Those women were not valued when they were alive and were sent to the Fifth Princess in order to win over the Second Prince. Now that the child is dead, they are the ones who are providing the milk.

But the more important point is that he wanted to see how the emperor would deal with this matter.

The emperor has changed a lot in the past few days. He is much different from the previous emperor who was powerful on the outside but weak on the inside. I don’t know if it is true that the emperor has been driven completely crazy as the rumors say.

But this is what a king of a country should be like. When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. Since he sits on this position, he cannot be soft-hearted. If he is not decisive and ruthless, an emperor like him who has no backing will easily be brought down.

These thoughts only lasted for a moment before Leng Wuqin put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was just watching a show.

Leng Qingyi could clearly feel the slight fluctuation in the emotions of the person behind him but he ignored it and glanced at the people kneeling below.

The hall was completely silent, and no one knew what the emperor, who was rumored to have been driven mad, would do next.

He could send his own mother to the temporary palace without caring about the dignity of the royal family. How could he be so kind to these ministers?

But there was nothing they could do. They didn't want to cause any trouble, but they had no choice.

After a while, everyone heard a sneer from above.

"My dear ministers, how ridiculous! Your daughters, accompanying the princess in the palace, allowed her to drown before their very eyes. I must consider whether your daughters conspired to murder the princess. I haven't even tried to accuse you of your crimes, yet you're already demanding an explanation from me. This is truly absurd."

A charge of murdering the royal princess was enough to get them killed.

"Your Majesty, please be wise. My daughter has always been weak, how could she have done something like this to murder the princess? Moreover, my daughter has been weak since she was a child and can't swim at all. Seeing the princess fall into the water, I was helpless. My daughter...my daughter was only fourteen years old... wuwuwu."

As he spoke, the minister began to sob in the hall, as if he was really feeling extremely sad for his deceased daughter.

"Oh? I heard that your second daughter was never favored by you since she was a child. A concubine's daughter rode on her neck all day long and showed off her power. You, as a father, were completely worthless. For fourteen years, you didn't show any concern for her. Even the sight of her only happened during festivals. Besides, your poor daughter's frailty was caused by your concubine, wasn't it? For more than a decade, a legitimate daughter didn't live as well as a concubine's, but was also abused, poisoned, and starved. Now that she's dead, you act like a loving father. Do you think I don't know anything?"

The man's body suddenly stiffened. He looked up at the emperor in horror and then immediately knelt on the ground.

How did the emperor know that his concubine poisoned his second daughter, when no more than five people knew about it? Could there be something wrong with the people around him?

Is this emperor really as incompetent as they think?

But the situation is stronger than him and he cannot admit it now. Otherwise, not only will his career be ruined, but his life may even be taken away by this crazy emperor.

"Your Majesty, you are wronging me. My daughter is weak due to congenital deficiency. How could she not have enough food to eat at home? Your Majesty must have believed some rumors."

"Oh? You mean I was blind and blind and just believed the gossip."

"I dare not. Even a tiger won't eat its own son, so how could I treat my own daughter like that?"

"Of course, your wife died giving birth to her, and you took all your resentment out on her, which is why you dislike her so much. I don't have time to settle those family matters with you. Since you all want me to give you an explanation, then I will give it to you. Nie Yueming, pass down the order that the daughters of these families plot to murder the royal princess and commit high treason, and sentence them to confiscation of property and exile to Lingnan."

"Your Majesty, we are wronged. We have no grudge against the Fifth Princess. Why would you murder her?"

"Oh, you're not satisfied, are you? Then I'll be frank. I hope you can still be alive even if your property is confiscated and you're exiled. If I investigate further and find out who's behind you, then I won't have the final say on your family's lives. And listen to me, everyone. Anyone who covets my throne can take it, but as long as I sit on this throne, I'm the king of Dongxia. My words are the emperor's orders, and I have the right to punish anyone. From today on, I'm going to crack down. Those who are not clean in private should stop as soon as possible. I won't pursue the past for now. From today on, if I can find any evidence against you, no matter if you're a royal relative or a noble family, I'll deal with you as I please. Unless you have the ability to kill me and overthrow me, otherwise, I'll be the tyrant."

After saying this, the ministers below had different expressions. Leng Qingyi had some confidence in saying this.

Although her power is not large, she has many neutral and royalist factions, so as long as she is capable enough, she will not lack followers.

Besides, she was confident that the person who could kill her had not yet been born. As long as she didn't die, those rats in the gutter would always be her subjects.

"Drag these rebellious people out. Ling Xuan will personally lead the team to search their homes. Remember not to bully the women and leave them with dignity."

Leng Qingyi knew very well that one should not force people to death directly. If one gave them a glimmer of hope, they would not fight to the death, and the loss to her would be smaller. She also understood the principle of giving a sweet reward after a slap in the face.

"Yes."

After Ling Xuan went down, Leng Qingyi glanced at the civil and military officials below again and took in their expressions.

This game of governing the country has just begun.

"Prime Minister, your proposal is very pertinent and practical. Please tell us about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I believe that the soldiers at the border are suffering from the cold in part because the treasury is indeed empty. This matter should be addressed by the Minister of Revenue. Another reason is..."

Leng Wuqin paused and looked up to see the emperor's expression.

"My dear, just say it. What you said is exactly what I want to rectify. I am not afraid of offending anyone. As I said just now, what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger."

Seeing that the emperor was so decisive, Leng Wuqin no longer had any concerns.

The emperor is a bachelor, so am I not?
