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

Chapter 192: Shen Lanxi is named Earl of Heroism, and his title will be passed down for three genera

Emperor Renxiao was as troubled as Wu Tong.

What he couldn't understand was that the two military supervisors he sent died before the battle even started.

Is there some conspiracy, or are the two military supervisors just good-for-nothings?

The battle report personally delivered by the imperial guards was consistent with what Wu Tong had written. Both military supervisors died because of their arrogance.

Emperor Renxiao couldn't accept it and his face was gloomy. All the civil and military officials in the hall were so suppressed that they dared not breathe!

"Your Majesty, I suspect there is something fishy about the deaths of the two military supervisors!" The Left Prime Minister stepped forward and made a report.

Emperor Renxiao ordered someone to show him the memorial, which was written by his good nephew himself.

If the report was sent by someone else, Emperor Renxiao would have doubted it. But the report was sent by the imperial guards, and they were sent by him, and they were his confidants.

How could it be fake!

After reading the memorial, Wu Yanzhi's face turned pale and he cursed Wu Tong hundreds of times in his heart, asking him to write two copies of the memorial to the court. If he had read it in advance, he would not have made such a big joke in the court.

"Your Majesty is merciful and has forgiven Zhao Chengkai, but Peng Rong must not be let off easily. If it weren't for him, my army wouldn't have suffered so many casualties in suppressing the rebellion!" Wu Yanzhi has been an official for many years and is tactful and alert, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of left prime minister.

He knew how to read the emperor's mind, and his first responsibility now was to help His Majesty vent his anger.

Who could be more suitable than Peng Rong!

Emperor Renxiao was furious: "Peng Rong is ambitious and disobeys orders. He even forged an imperial edict for military power. He deserves death!"

Wu Yanzhi immediately pleaded: "Peng Rong is truly ambitious. I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Peng family to serve as a warning to others!"

Emperor Renxiao: "The entire Peng family will be executed, and their property will be confiscated into the national treasury!"

The whole court shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, no one dared to plead for Peng Rong. Everyone knew that the punishment of Peng Rong was done for the benefit of the army that was suppressing the rebellion and for the people of the world to see.

"To suppress the rebellion, the army must have a military supervisor. My dear ministers, if you have suitable candidates, please feel free to recommend them!" After Emperor Renxiao said this, no one dared to respond.

Another military supervisor died, and the army that was suppressing the rebellion became a hot potato that could not be touched. Everyone could see that the position of the military supervisor was not easy to sit in, and this position was full of evil!

As time went by, Emperor Renxiao's face became more and more unsightly as he saw that no one dared to take the call.

Suddenly someone stood up.

"I dare to recommend someone!" The person who stood up was Wei Jie, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Emperor Renxiao's expression eased slightly, and his tone softened as he asked, "My dear minister, please speak."

Wei Jie bowed his head and saluted: "The one I recommend is the former Southwest Army Supervisor, Che Mingyuan!"

After hearing this, Emperor Renxiao's face instantly darkened.

He had long forgotten who Che Mingyuan was, but the four words "former Southwest Army" made him feel very unhappy!

Wei Jie continued, "Che Mingyuan was never taken seriously when he was in the Southwest Army. Later, he accidentally injured his leg during a drill, so he resigned and returned home!"

When Emperor Renxiao heard the words "not valued", his brows relaxed.

Since he is retiring, he must be already old.

Emperor Renxiao thought of some elderly and conservative ministers in the court, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, let Che Mingyuan go. He doesn't need to come to the palace to express his gratitude. Just go directly to Yonglin Prefecture!" Emperor Renxiao waved his hand and dismissed the court.

Within a few days, the news spread that the military supervisor of the rebellion-suppressing army, relying on his male status, snatched the credit from Shen Lanxi and drove Shen Lanxi out of the rebellion-suppressing army.

Some people even wrote a jingle, "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden." It implies that the royal family needs Shen Lanxi when they are in war, and when they are stable, they will seize power from her and kill her.

Somehow this rumor blew into the palace, and when Emperor Renxiao found out, he was furious!

"I have already executed Peng Rong's entire family, what else do they want?"

Since he ascended the throne, Emperor Renxiao rarely lost his composure like this. His hair was disheveled, and he looked like he was cornered. He threw all the tables, chairs, and memorials in the imperial study to the ground, and he looked like a cornered beast running around in circles!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. These are just the nonsense of those ignorant and unruly people. You must not believe them!" Wang Bao persuaded with concern.

Emperor Renxiao was holding back a fire of evil in his heart, which had been ignited when the rebellious prince was in rebellion, and had not shown any sign of being extinguished until today.

"Wang Bao, haven't I been good enough to her? She joined the army as a woman, and not only did I not punish her, I also rehabilitated her family, let her father return to his post, and even made her an exception and appointed her as the general to suppress the rebellion. What else does she want?"

Wang Bao bent his waist, lowered his head, and kept comforting her.

"Your Majesty, please protect your health! In my opinion, someone must have taken the opportunity to sow discord and throw Your Majesty off balance!" Wang Bao said ambiguously.

Emperor Renxiao was startled and shook his head vigorously to wake himself up.

Yes, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Just because she is a woman, she is not to be feared.

Wang Bao carefully stole a glance at Emperor Renxiao, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, no matter how capable she is, she is still a woman. She is also an abandoned woman of the royal family, so it will definitely be difficult for her to get married in the future. Which woman in the world does not hope to find a good husband who suits her heart? If she can really return victorious in the future, Your Majesty can just grant her a marriage to offset her military merits!"

Emperor Renxiao's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten about this?

If this is true, it would be best if Shen Lanxi had extraordinary abilities and returned victorious. Even if she made great military achievements, just because she is a woman, those military achievements would only be a flashy piece of clothing and would not be of much use!

Wang Bao was relieved to see His Majesty's complexion gradually improve, and continued, "These rumor-mongers are really despicable. They are incapable of suppressing the rebellion, but they are good at spreading rumors!"

Emperor Renxiao was amused by the sight of Wang Bao cursing while pinching his fingers.

Yeah, he has nothing to worry about.

It’s great that the general who suppresses the rebellion is a woman!

"Wang Bao, draft an edict immediately to confer the title of Earl of Yingyong on Shen Lanxi, a title that will be hereditary for three generations, with a fief of 100 households, to be used in conjunction with the title of Princess Lanxi!"

"Peng Rong falsely conveyed the imperial edict, which led to Earl Yingyong being deceived and leaving the army to suppress the rebellion. I feel deeply guilty. Wang Bao, please personally select some gifts and give them to a reliable person to pass on the imperial edict!"

Wang Bao understood: "I'll ask my disciple to pass on your order!"

Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Before the imperial edict arrived, Shen Lanxi already knew its contents.

"General, Deputy Inspector Wu wants to see you!"

Shen Lanxi has been staying in her house in Yonglin Prefecture for some time. This time Wu Tong asked for a meeting, it was the fifth time that Shen Lanxi had asked for a meeting since she left the military camp.

Shen Lanxi: “No!”

The guard immediately went to report.

Wu Tong's hair has been falling out in clumps these days, which makes him worried and scratchy.

He had already personally asked Shen Lanxi to come back and given her such a great honor, why didn't she come back?

How can you be so ungrateful!
