Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Even though she had no experience in training ordinary people into elite soldiers who could fight ten enemies at a time, she had served as a general several times and had seen military training several times.

What's the difference between this and those workers who slack off at work? Isn't going to the battlefield like this just giving away your heads?

Ling Xuan noticed Leng Qingyi as soon as he flew over, and immediately pulled out the machete beside him and threw it towards Leng Qingyi.

Leng Qing reacted extremely quickly and dodged the tip of the knife by turning sideways, then grasped the handle with his backhand and held the flying machete firmly in his hand.

"General Ling is very skilled."

Ling Xuan was frightened to death when he saw that the person who came was the emperor. Just that one look made his hair stand on end.

If he killed the emperor, neither his grandfather nor his father would be able to save him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't realize that your arrival almost injured you."

"It's okay, I didn't inform you in advance."

Seeing their general kneeling on one knee in front of a young and handsome man and calling him "Emperor", the soldiers who were training below all knelt down and saluted.

Leng Qing glanced at the two groups of people below, and it was obvious that the group of shirtless soldiers sweating profusely were in better spirits.

"Everyone, get up. You guys continue training. I'll come over to take a look."

Seeing that Leng Qingyi did not punish him, Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to let them continue training.

"Your Majesty, why are you here today?"

"I visited the six ministries yesterday, and my heart aches. I never imagined that Dongxia officials would be so lazy. It's not enough that they don't do anything for the people, but they don't even take my recent decree seriously. It's my incompetence, alas."

"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate yourself. You have only been on the throne for a year, so take your time."

"Well, let's not talk about it. What's going on with your training? Why is the polarization so severe?"

Upon hearing this, an expression of embarrassment, anger and shame flashed across Ling Xuan's face.

"I have disappointed the Emperor. I have not yet managed to rally the troops, so I have no choice but to train them in batches."

"It's Ye Gucheng who's causing this, right? Ah Xuan, there's no need to be so distant from me. You and I are of the same age and have similar interests. I've already considered you a friend. If there's anything you want to talk about, you don't have to be so reserved with me. Just tell me."

Ling Xuan couldn't help but feel touched when he saw the king of a country speaking to him in this way.

It is said that the emperor came from the cold palace and has not learned anything, let alone how to govern the country.

But in his opinion, even though the emperor had some shortcomings, he always cared about the people and Dongxia.

He was also particularly kind and tolerant to these ministers who were loyal to the emperor, and was not at all condescending like other princes.

"It is my incompetence."

"Alas, it seems you and I share the same suffering. I'm constrained by important officials in the court, and you're checked and balanced by the generals in the army. I understand your pain. They see us as too young, so they see us as wrong. But youth is also our advantage. It's understandable that we're young and impulsive, and we do things impulsively. What's more, I've already given you the power. Go ahead and do it. I'll cover for you if anything happens."

"Your Majesty, this... General Ye has been in the army for quite some time and holds considerable prestige. Now is not the right time to touch him."

"To be honest, I was assassinated the other day and I've already found the real culprit behind it, but I can't do anything about it for the time being, alas."

"But is it related to General Ye?"

"Did you know that Ye Gucheng's daughter blocked an arrow for me?"

"I heard something."

"How did she, a woman from the harem, mobilize the imperial guards? And how did she arrive there by chance?"

"That alone is not enough to convict you."

"That's right, that's why we have to take it step by step."

"I understand."

"Go ahead and do it. Your army's defense is a bit weak. I was not discovered until I arrived at your main tent. You should be brave enough to reorganize it. I hope that the camp outside the capital can become my support."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best."

"Where's Ye Gucheng? Call him over."

"Yes."

The two men stood on the high platform, watching the soldiers training below without saying a word, waiting quietly for Ye Gucheng to come over.

Upon learning that the emperor wanted to see him at the training ground in the camp outside Beijing, Ye Gucheng hurried to the training ground and was sweating profusely when he arrived.

Seeing that Ye Gucheng was wearing casual clothes and no armor when he arrived, Leng Qing narrowed his eyes and did not mention anything about the military.

"General Ye, I'm heartbroken that Concubine Ye died while shielding me from an arrow. I thought of coming to the camp outside the capital to see you, but I didn't expect General Ye to be away. You're right, General Ye's daughter's death must be even more grieving than mine. How could he have the heart to go to the barracks for training?"

Ye Gucheng felt something was wrong and wanted to speak but had no chance to interrupt.

Leng Qingyi said, "I sympathize with General Ye's grief over the loss of his daughter. I will leave all these trivial matters in the army to General Ling. General Ye, please rest well at home for a few months."

The sky is falling. Didn't he just slack off and not come to the barracks today? How did he lose his position?

"Your Majesty, I am fine. It is my honor to die for you. I will just need a few days of rest. There are so many trivial matters in the army that General Ling cannot handle them all by himself."

Ling Xuan naturally saw Ye Gucheng's threatening look, but thinking that the emperor had said so, he naturally could not let the emperor down.

"General Ye, please don't be so polite. You are not young anymore and you must be heartbroken after losing your daughter so suddenly. I can handle the military affairs by myself, so you don't have to force yourself."

"That's true. General Ye lost his daughter in his middle age. If I don't go back and rest for a few more months, what will my ministers think of me? Will they think I'm being harsh on them?"

"No···"

Ye Gucheng wanted to struggle again but he didn't have the chance to speak.

"General Ye, you don't have to be so rude. I know you've devoted your life to Dongxia, and that's why I should be more understanding of you. Take your guards back today. Relax at the farm or go home and rest. It will be more convenient for them to do anything with you."

If Leng Qing hadn't kept talking about the pain of losing a daughter and the loss of a daughter in middle age, and asked him to take his personal guards and get out, he would have really believed that the emperor was thinking about him.

"Ling Xuan, send a few people to General Ye's tent to pack up and send them to General Ye's residence. You are young, so you should take care of the military affairs in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Ling Xuan was dumbfounded. They had agreed to proceed step by step, so why did they just send the whole group of people and their personal guards away?

Is it such a big deal?

If that's the case, then can he also let go and do what he wants? If anyone refuses to obey, just fight them directly. Ye Gucheng can be sent back, so what do these soldiers have to be afraid of?

In the past, he relied on his seniority and experience to hold most of the power even without a military order. Now, he was sent home directly. Even if he could come back after a few months of rest, he would have nothing.

All the personal guards were allowed to go, so those minions would have to be eliminated by Ling Xuan. The sky is falling!

Leaving the deserted camp outside Beijing, I felt refreshed.

'Yes, another scourge has been cleared.'
