Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Changing a country's leader is like pressing the reset button on the entire kingdom, instantly triggering a massive upheaval.

The first three moves of a new broom sweeping clean!

Every new emperor, upon ascending the throne, aspires to shine like a superstar, striving to leave behind a glorious legacy and secure a place in history.

Those forces close to the new emperor often rise rapidly during this period of turmoil, gaining instant power.

However, those forces closely associated with the former emperor are in for a world of fear, as they could face a devastating blow at any moment.

Now, Xue Qinghe has finally achieved his wish and is sitting firmly on the throne of the emperor!

The Great Emperor Xueye quietly retired, preparing to leisurely tend to his mausoleum, intending to leave himself a dignified memorial. Just the day before, the entire Heavenly Dou Empire revolved around him; now, with his retirement, he was no longer associated with prosperity.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe ascended the throne for the first time. Before him stood a court full of civil and military officials, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This world is all mine now!"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Why not grant a general amnesty to show your imperial grace?" A minister in the court stepped forward respectfully, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

A general amnesty?

This was an old custom, and Xue Qinghe didn't want anything too unusual, so he readily agreed.

On the first day of court, there was basically nothing of importance to do. All matters were postponed because they were not as important as the new emperor's ascension to the throne. "Very well, I will think about how to grant a general amnesty."

Xue Qinghe said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone in the court responded respectfully, as if a spring breeze had swept through, filling the atmosphere with a relaxed and festive feeling.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Leosley's name was not on the list of those who had just received awards.

Was the Duke's contribution not significant enough? No, the Duke's contribution was enormous. Whether it was Xueye's abdication or the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Duke, those were crucial roles.

"Court adjourned!"

Xue Qinghe waved his hand, signaling the ministers to leave the court.

As she walked out of the Hall of Diligent Governance, all the ministers bowed respectfully.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Xue Qinghe nodded and then turned to leave.

In fact, Leosley's reward has already been given, which was also agreed upon with Xueye.

Although Leosley himself was "very law-abiding" in Tiandou City, even more so than the nobles, and never used his power to oppress others, his influence was not diminished at all.

Especially its influence among the common people is something that even the royal family can only look up to.

If Leosley causes trouble in Heaven Dou City, the royal family will be powerless to stop him!
So what Xue Qinghe needs to do now is to find a way to completely tie Leosli down and make him "stay" in Tiandou City for the rest of his life, so that the royal family can truly feel at ease.

Xue Qinghe sat on the dragon throne in the Hall of Diligent Governance, his brows slightly furrowed.

······
Meanwhile, on the other side, at Xuexing Mansion.

According to reports from the palace's informants, Xue Qinghe's appointments were not surprising. Apart from those who were useful before, almost all the remaining key positions were filled by his own people. If Xue Beng were emperor, he would probably do the same.

It was like this on a snowy night back then.

The only thing that puzzled them was why Leosley hadn't received a reward.

"Uncle, has my elder brother lost his mind since becoming emperor? The duke hasn't given any rewards at all!" Xue Beng was disheveled at this moment.

He originally had a chance to ascend the throne, but now that chance is completely gone.

Could it be a rebellion?

Let alone rebellion, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Leosley still around, their troops would probably be surrounded by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Duke before they even reached the gates of the imperial city.

"Perhaps the Duke's merits are too great?" Xue Xing looked somewhat puzzled.

They all knew that Leosley had no interest in the title, and he didn't even want to waste his time in the position of duke.

Especially in recent years, Leosley's influence has grown to a terrifying level.

Among the princes, ministers, and nobles of Tiandou City, who did not know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Duke had an excellent relationship?
They wanted to build a good relationship, but no matter how much they tried to please, it was no use.

"Avalanche, hey, being a carefree prince isn't so bad after all!" Xue Xing gently patted Avalanche's shoulder, a look of comfort in her eyes.

The newly enthroned King Xue Qinghe certainly wouldn't hand over military power to Xue Beng. In everyone's eyes, Xue Beng was a true playboy, and giving him power would likely cause widespread discontent. Therefore, it was perfectly appropriate for Xue Qinghe to let Xue Beng be a carefree and leisurely prince. No one would think he was targeting Xue Beng; on the contrary, they would think he was acting just right.

"Let go? It's easier said than done. I'm truly powerless." Avalanche understood this principle, but letting go was easier said than done.

The representatives of the kingdom and the duchy originally intended to create some minor troubles for Xue Qinghe when he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable, so as to take the opportunity to gain some benefits.

However, Xue Ye seemed to have come prepared, displaying Goron's army outside Tian Dou City in a formidable display. Anyone who dared to make a move would be dealt a swift and decisive blow without a second thought!

The sight sent a chill down everyone's spine, and they all abandoned their little schemes.

Although Xue Ye had retired, the representatives dared not underestimate Xue Qinghe in the slightest. They knew that to secure their positions, they still needed the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Duke!
In the following period, Xue Qinghe, just like previous emperors, began to grant amnesty to the world.

In reality, in an environment like Douluo Continent, the so-called amnesty, aside from the areas that the empire can govern, is another matter entirely for the kingdoms and duchies.

Just like tax exemption, indeed, Xue Qinghe said that taxes would be exempted for two years, and Tiandou City will definitely respond to Xue Qinghe's decree, but the kingdom and duchy will probably be harder to control.

But the happiest people were the death row inmates.

how to say?

In the Douluo Continent, besides those imprisoned by nobles on trumped-up charges, there are also some death row inmates whose crimes do not warrant death.

However, the authorities needed to meet quotas, so they fabricated some baseless charges against these people and treated them as death row inmates.

Those who were executed were indeed people who had committed serious crimes; as for the death row inmates, they were just there to make up the numbers.

After all, the Heavenly Dou Empire is not a poor country, so how could it really come down to killing people to make up the numbers?
Xue Qinghe understood this principle, but to grant a general amnesty, he would definitely need to gather enough people, otherwise how could he do it?
So, that afternoon, more than five hundred "death row inmates" were pulled from the dungeon. (End of Chapter)
