Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 185 The future is promising

Let those dead Dongxia people see that she has collected some interest for them.

I will tell them after I capture the head of Beidong Khan to comfort their souls who died in vain.

After winning the battle, Leng Qing ordered to set up camp on the spot and the prisoners were taken back.

Nian Dashan was in charge of supervising them while they built the city wall.

Build another city wall at the junction of Beidong and Dongxia to protect all the remote villages outside Jichun City.

He is a prisoner anyway, so why not use him?

After winning two large-scale battles in succession, the Dongxia soldiers were all excited.

I am very confident that the destruction of Beidong will be a milestone in history.

Even the injured soldiers no longer complained and blamed themselves as they did in the past.

Now they have food, medicine, and doctors to see them, so their future is promising.

They have won another victory, and they will definitely receive a generous reward when they return to Beijing.

The emperor is a benevolent and generous ruler and will not treat them unfairly.

There is no need to worry even if they are disabled. The emperor said that he has arrangements for them after they return to Beijing, so they don't have to worry about the rest of their lives.

This also includes the fact that the imperial court will provide certain support to their children if they study in the future.

After sending the injured soldiers back to the military nursing home in Dongxia for recuperation, they reorganized the remaining troops.

In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers killed or wounded in the two battles, another 30,000 soldiers needed to stay in the camp to care for the sick and deal with other emergencies.

Leng Qing now has more than 130,000 soldiers at his disposal, and food and other supplies are also sufficient.

And all this is thanks to Leng Wuqin.

Ever since he learned that his daughter was pregnant, Leng Wuqin has been like a mad dog.

If anyone doesn't do their job properly or causes trouble, he will bring his disciples, who occupy one-third of the court, to bite them.

The Minister of Revenue has been under discipline these days and dares not make any trouble.

He is not alone, he has a whole family behind him.

The son is chased away when he goes out, the wife and daughter are excluded when they go out, the elder one has a bad career, and the younger one is even targeted when he goes to school.

It caused chaos in his family.

These are just trivial matters and cannot be brought to the court.

He could only be complained by his wife, children and the elderly in his family every day.

Especially after the battle report of the emperor annihilating hundreds of thousands of Beidong soldiers in one fell swoop was transmitted back to the capital, those who had been on good terms with him in the past also kept their distance from him.

Leng Wuqin became even more aggressive, suppressing him and the Zhu family in various places.

The emperor won such a great victory that the previously neutral factions gradually tilted towards him.

Why wouldn't they support such a wise ruler who is both civil and military and has great means?

This makes his behavior seem even more out of place.

There was no way he could do anything. If he dared to tamper with the supplies sent to the border again, not only Leng Wuqin but other officials in the court would criticize him.

He really couldn't come up with the shameless excuse of an empty treasury, so he could only do his job honestly.

As for his good-for-nothing daughter, let her do whatever she wants. He can't abandon the whole family for her.

By the time the news that Leng Qing had won another victory and destroyed the 60,000-strong army that Beidong Khan had just sent to garrison the border reached the capital, it was two months after the emperor personally led the army to fight.

In the past, when generals went to war, a war of this scale would take at least a year and a half to win.

Even minor fights would take several days.

Excluding the more than half a month it took the emperor to reach the border, it has only been a month and a half.

They actually won two battles, killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, and captured nearly 100,000 enemy soldiers.

The most amazing thing is that their own casualties were only more than 10,000 people, and they admired the emperor's ability very much.

Those who supported the emperor stood with their backs straight when they attended court, and everyone could see the pride and honor on their faces.

There are always people who are happy and people who are sad about things in this world.

The one who was most worried was the Minister of Revenue.

Although what he did did not really delay the emperor's affairs, it did create obstacles.

Given the emperor's temper, he will definitely not forgive him when he returns.

But her own daughter was determined not to marry anyone but that man.

If he had a prominent family to rely on, it wouldn't be impossible for him to give it a try.

But it’s just a...Alas, children are all debts.

Now he can only work diligently and pray that the emperor will not hold it against him when he comes back.

After a busy day, the Minister of Revenue returned to the Shangshu Mansion and wanted to take a rest. As soon as he entered the Chuihua Gate, he was blocked by his little daughter.

The expression on her face was as if he was not her father but the murderer of her father.

He sighed helplessly and rubbed his brows which had been wrinkled all day.

"Yuan'er, why are you here instead of staying in the backyard?"

"Dad, your daughter has something to ask you."

"If it's still about that matter, then don't say anything. Dad is only a second-rank minister and can't cover up everything."

"Dad, why can't you be flexible?"

"Flexibility? How do you want Dad to flex? Do you know that the Zhu family has been targeted? If Dad flexes again, the Zhu family will be gone."

"It's not as serious as you say, Emperor..."

Minister of Revenue Zhu Chen was afraid that his spoiled little daughter would say something outrageous, so he quickly took a few steps forward and covered Zhu Yuanyuan's mouth.

"Woo, woo, Dad!"

"Shut up! Do you want to harm our entire family? If you have anything to say, come to the study and talk."

After Zhu Chen finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and strode towards the study.

Zhu Yuanyuan behind him was so angry that she clenched her handkerchief and followed closely.

After the father and daughter entered the study, Zhu Chen ordered someone to guard the door and then looked at his little daughter with disappointment.

"Dad, why are you so timid?"

"What do you know? If I don't act more cautiously, not only will the position of Shangshu be lost, but I'm afraid our entire family will lose their heads."

"It's not that serious. When the emperor cracked down on corruption, you were fine, weren't you?"

"To put it bluntly, the emperor only dares to touch those insignificant people without family background."

Zhu Chen was almost mad at his simple-minded little daughter.

"What do you know? Do you know that your father had to take out the coffin book to keep the position of Shangshu?"

"Why do you think the emperor didn't take action against the Zhu family? It's because Dad used money to save our family's lives. How dare you think that?"

Zhu Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"So the recent reduction in spending in the palace is because all the money Dad used to bring home was returned to the Emperor?"

"if not?"

Zhu Yuanyuan's face instantly fell when she got a positive answer.

"What about my dowry?"

"You've only just reached the age of marriage, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Yuanyuan widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief.

"Father, I've reached marriage age and am about to get married, yet you actually gave all my dowry to the emperor?"
