Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 130: Brothel Prostitute V Killer Boss 13

The old emperor was buried, and the coronation ceremony followed. Leng Che requested that the coronation ceremony and the empress's ceremony be held together. This was certainly not in accordance with ancestral tradition, but no one dared to object.

Who made Leng Che a tyrant? That day, he killed one person with a single glance, and then killed a whole group with a single glance. He completely frightened these court officials and made them no longer have the desire to resist.

Over the years, the Liyuan Kingdom had been steadily declining under the previous emperor's rule. His power was already mediocre, and the Tianyi Pavilion, a group of officials who constantly opposed the imperial court, had killed countless civil and military officials. The kingdom was on the verge of collapse. Now, a tyrant had emerged, having already slaughtered the last loyal and outspoken officials. Now, they were just going about their business, preserving their own lives, and no one cared about his actions.

As for his queen, no matter how beautiful she was, she came from a brothel. He was not afraid of being criticized, so what else were they afraid of?

Leng Che directly emptied the old emperor's treasury for this ceremony. The wedding he gave to Sike before was very easy to calculate, so this was his compensation to her, which was unprecedentedly grand.

Si Ke felt a headache. She knew Leng Che's intentions and knew that he didn't care whether Liyuan Country could continue to exist. He hated this country. However, the people were innocent.

After the ceremony was over, Leng Che went to court for the first time, and Si Ke followed him.

The courtiers were slightly taken aback, but soon understood. This tyrant was capable of anything, and lecturing him now would undoubtedly be courting death.

So the ministers respectfully saluted the emperor and empress.

The first thing to be discussed today is the placement of concubines in the harem.

"Kill him! It's just right to be buried alive with the late emperor." This was the answer given by Leng Che.

The people below felt as if they had stopped breathing. They were being killed again. Not to mention that the late emperor had already been buried, the mausoleum would have to be reopened for the burial. Even these concubines were daughters of their respective families. Who could watch them die?

However, before the officials could plead for mercy, Si Ke spoke first. "Your Majesty, you cannot do this!"

"The concubines in the palace have given birth to heirs for the royal family and continued the royal bloodline. They have made invaluable contributions and should not be buried alive with the emperor. Why not let them go home?" Si Ke's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and there was no trace of timidity in it.

"Okay, the Queen decides!" Leng Che nodded, as if whatever she wanted was up to her.

"Then pass on this imperial decree, allowing the concubines in the harem to return home. Those with parents or brothers who are willing to take them back can do so at the palace gate. As for the mothers of the princes, those who are willing to be taken back to the palace can also be brought back to live out their days there. If there are those who do not want to return home, or if there is no one from their families to take them back, they will all be placed in the Southern Suburbs Palace, which will provide them with a place to stay."

"My queen, be merciful!"

"Your Majesty is righteous!"

……

Instantly, everyone knelt, especially those whose daughters had entered the palace, some even weeping. Previously, they had thought it unacceptable for a woman to enter the court to discuss matters, contrary to popular sentiment. But now, no one objected. With the queen around, she might even be able to persuade the tyrant.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a petition to submit!"

With Si Ke's leadership, the previously lifeless court became a little more peaceful.

"The dike in the south burst a month ago, and the late emperor didn't make a decision before... Now, countless civilians have been killed and injured. I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to save the people from this disaster."

However, the minister knelt on the ground for a long time without any response. Everyone looked up and saw Leng Che leaning on the armrest of the dragon throne with one hand, as if... asleep.

"The Emperor is still recovering from a serious illness, perhaps he's just tired!" If they weren't in the court right now, Si Ke would probably give him a big slap. He'd be kept awake in the middle of the night, tossing and turning!

"This matter cannot be delayed. The national treasury is now empty. How about this, Seventh Brother, go to the Emperor's private treasury and raise one million dan of grain to send to the disaster area. Lord Chen, the Supervisory Secretary, will be the imperial envoy for this matter. In addition, I will send two inspectors to accompany Lord Chen. We will also send four imperial physicians. We must control the disaster in the south and prevent an epidemic. The Ministry of Works will also send several people to provide guidance and rebuild the dikes." Leng Che has wiped out countless families over the years, and his wealth is truly worthy of a country. Let's borrow some money first. I will keep a record of it later and return it to him when the Ministry of Revenue has money.

"My Lady, rebuilding the dike and our homes will probably cost quite a bit of money. These..."

"We're definitely short of money, but it won't be much. We can recruit strong laborers from the local disaster victims to work as laborers. The Ministry of Works will guide the construction every day, and the court will provide them with food. Since they're currently starving, I believe they'll be very willing to do so. As for the specific details, we'll discuss them later."

"I will take your orders!"

……

Si Ke handled the court affairs one by one, and the civil and military officials were now filled with admiration for her. Even after the court session had ended, everyone was still discussing her. How could a prostitute possess such insight? Her political strategy was probably even surpassed by many emperors.

They had thought they would face another day of slaughter at the hands of a tyrant, their lives uncertain. Unexpectedly, they were given such a big surprise. As long as the Empress was around, the Liyuan Kingdom would be able to hold on.

Of course, these people didn't know that Si Ke already had experience as a queen. She had learned these ways of governing a country before, but she couldn't remember from whom she learned them.

Now, she was sorting memorials in the imperial study, sorting the important and the unimportant. Since the late emperor's passing, the memorials had piled up like a mountain.

The important ones were left to Leng Che, who would review them slowly, making sure they didn't kill innocent people or mess around. She would review them later. The unimportant ones were her own responses, leaving them all for him to do. It was indeed too much.

Leng Che felt his wrist ache and looked at Si Ke pitifully: "Wife, let's go to bed. It's very late. Can we review these memorials tomorrow?"

Seeing that Si Ke was unmoved, Leng Che threw away the brush and held her face towards him. "My lady, look at me. Am I not more beautiful than these memorials?"

"Or, you should just pass on the throne!" Si Ke stared at him in amazement. She felt that being the emperor was indeed difficult for Leng Che. Although he was born into a royal family, he had never learned the art of governing a country since childhood. In his eyes, apart from revenge, he could only exterminate an entire family. Managing the court was indeed too difficult for him.

The key point is that she is the one who works the hardest now.

She understood all this, but didn't want to care about it. She was a lazy cat, and being an emperor was really tiring.

"Who do you think is the most suitable?"

Si Ke thought about Yu Wenlin, but she didn't dare to speak. "How about we summon all the princes tomorrow and test them properly?"

Anyway, the lives of the entire royal family and important officials are now in Leng Che's hands, so he is not afraid of what these people will do to him.

So, after only a few days as empress, another shocking news came out: the throne was passed to Yuwen Lin! And Leng Che directly became the emperor.

Of course, the retired emperor was very dissatisfied. He felt that Si Ke had chosen Yu Wenlin because she had not forgotten him. So, he tortured Si Ke as much as he could.

Si Ke felt that he couldn't explain himself to the psychopath, so he simply ran away from home in anger.

After this departure, the two never returned to Liyuan Kingdom.
