Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

No, they just wait patiently!

Not only they were waiting, Shen Lanxi was also waiting.

The court, which used to be as noisy as a vegetable market, is now so quiet that you can hear a pin drop!

Emperor Renxiao Zhou Chengqian looked at the person who was brought to the hall with shock on his face.

"Who do you think you are?"

Liu Yanhui was dressed in a brocade robe, looking extremely elegant and graceful, and she spoke eloquently in front of the emperor to whom she once served!

"I am a clerk named Liu Yanhui. I am here on the orders of Lord Shen Lanxi, the commander of the six county garrisons in Suiyuan Prefecture, to present last year's taxes from Suiyuan Prefecture and other six counties!"

Zhou Chengqian's face was tense, but his hands clenched in his sleeves hidden under his dragon robe betrayed him.

"Do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the clan?" Zhou Chengqian learned of Liu Yanhui's identity through Wang Bao's reminder, and he became even more furious!

The Shen family has been exiled, how could they possibly turn things around?

But Liu Yanhui was indeed an official who was implicated and exiled by the Shen family. He must have a close relationship with the Shen family!

Liu Yan replied, "Our commander said that the King of Dong Liao was the one who rebelled. We, the six counties, will not be like the King of Dong Liao and commit treasonous acts."

"Commander Shen misses Your Majesty and is grateful for your love and protection during my stay in the capital. This time, in addition to taxes, he also ordered me to bring 80,000 taels of silver and a cart of various rare treasures to present to Your Majesty."

Zhou Chengqian looked at Liu Yanhui who was kneeling on the ground with a mysterious look.

The government and the public were in an uproar!

Did they hear it right? Liu Yanhui was talking about Shen Lanxi?

The former Third Prince’s Consort Shen Lanxi?

Princess Lanxi, who was once the apple of Her Majesty the Queen Mother’s eye and was loved more than the royal princess?

"Your Majesty, since the rebellion of the King of Eastern Liao, Commander Shen has been tossing and turning all day long. His respect for Your Majesty finally outweighed his own safety. Commander Shen resolutely joined the army, risked his life to feed the tiger, and was not afraid of danger. Finally, he helped Your Majesty seize the ten states in northern Sichuan and twenty counties in southern Lin from the King of Eastern Liao. Now, please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

The court, which had just been filled with discussion, fell silent again!

What did he say?

Do you dare to say it again?

The corners of Zhou Chengqian's mouth twitched twice, and he clenched the dragon throne tightly to suppress the shock in his heart.

Shen Lanxi is a woman, how could she possibly do that!

She could never do it!

It must be that the Shen family wanted to take advantage of Shen Lanxi's status as the Third Prince's wife and wanted to return to the court, so they deliberately pushed her forward to show their goodwill to him!

But do the people in the Shen family really have the ability to recover the lost territory?

Zhou Chengqian fell into deep suspicion!

Left Prime Minister Wu Yanzhi immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, this person's appearance is suspicious. He is most likely a spy sent by the King of Dong Liao."

When the Shen family left Beijing, he resolutely let his daughter divorce Shen Yuanjing. The two families have already formed a mortal feud, and the Shen family must not be allowed to come back!

The left prime minister's party immediately stood up and seconded the motion.

"What the Left Prime Minister said makes sense. We have all seen Shen Lanxi. She is a weak woman. How could she join the army? How could she have the ability to take back the lost land from the King of Dong Liao? It is simply ridiculous!"

"I'm afraid that the King of Dong Liao wants to use Princess Lan Xi's identity to soften your Majesty's heart and seize the foundation of our Great Zhou!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Liu Yanhui was being pointed at by so many people, but there was no trace of panic on her face, and she didn't even bend while standing there.

"Your Majesty, Commander Shen now has 10,000 soldiers and horses. As long as your Majesty gives the order, we will immediately attack Yonglin Prefecture!"

Everyone in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yonglin Prefecture is the doorstep of the King of Eastern Liao!

After passing Yonglin Prefecture, it is Sanchuan Prefecture where the King of Eastern Liao lives. If it is true, we are only one step away from reaching Huanglong!

Zhou Chengqian remained silent and began to think about the interests involved!

If it is true, both Shen Lanxi and the Shen family have made great contributions in eliminating the rebels!

If it's fake... let them fight each other and buy time for the armies!

Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask a question on behalf of Lord Shen: Should we beat him or not?"

"Before I came here, Lord Shen repeatedly told me that if His Majesty minded the fact that she was a woman, she should immediately disband the 10,000 troops on the spot and retreat back to Baihe County."

That’s an army of 10,000!

Zhou Chengqian has made up his mind!

"What's the difference between a woman and a woman? Recovering so many places for me is something that not only women, but even most men can't do it!"

Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty, we have always held up the banner of the Army of Justice, but it is not justified. Please grant us a name and restore the reputation of our army!"

Seeing Liu Yan reply so obediently, Zhou Chengqian was very pleased.

"Okay, let's call it... the rebel suppression army!"

Liu Yan knelt down and expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name. From now on, our army to suppress the rebellion will finally not be a mob!"

Zhou Chengqian's eyes flickered, and he said, "Tell Lan Xi that if she can take Yonglin Prefecture, I will make her the general in charge of suppressing rebellion!"

Liu Yanhui prostrated herself on the ground and shouted, "Long live His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"How can a woman be appointed as a general, Your Majesty? This is unprecedented!"

"Your Majesty, letting a woman be a general will disrupt the foundation of our Great Zhou. Please think twice!"

Zhou Chengqian ignored the courtiers and replied to Liu Yan: "Go and pass on the message quickly. Winter comes early in Dongchuan. A snowfall may delay the suppression of the rebellion!"

Liu Yan replied respectfully: "I will go back and report right away!"

After Liu Yanhui left the hall, Zhou Chengqian finally let out a long sigh!

"If you gentlemen can also conjure up an army of 10,000 for me, I will also appoint that man as the general who suppresses the rebellion!"

The court officials kept their mouths shut when they heard this.

As the name suggests, the general who suppresses rebellions can only suppress rebellions. If there is no rebellion, is there any need for this general to exist?

No matter who is behind Shen Lanxi, he has to work for him now. If he rebels, he can issue and take back this imperial decree!

Shen Lanxi received a reply from Liu Yan, and she has taken over Yonglin Prefecture!

Liu Yan must be surrounded by spies now, so now is not the best time to reply.

Fifteen days later, the carrier eagle flew out.

Ten days later, Liu Yanhui came back with the reply letter and entered the hall unhindered!

"Your Majesty, Commander Shen lived up to your Majesty's expectations and risked his life to capture Yonglin Prefecture!"

The whole court was in uproar again!

Zhou Chengqian has sent countless spies to Yonglin Prefecture these days, but they have not arrived yet. He has also adjusted his mentality these days, smiled slightly, and asked Liu Yan to get up very peacefully.

"Draft an imperial decree. From today on, Shen Lanxi will be appointed as the general who suppresses the rebellion. After the rebellion is suppressed, I will personally present the reward in the palace!"

Liu Yan replied: "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"

That day, Liu Yanhui rushed to Yonglin Prefecture with the rewards given by Zhou Chengqian!

Xiaoxue arrived with the imperial edict before Liu Yanhui.

Shen Lanxi took off the box containing the imperial edict and threw it to Cheng Zheng and others.

"Look, I'm going to feed Xiaoxue some jerky!"
