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

Wu Yanzhi closed his eyes resignedly.

Shen Yuanxu raised his lips and said, "Since Prime Minister Wu wants to accept me as his son-in-law, I will boldly ask to marry the daughter of the Wu family. I also ask my uncle to grant me the marriage."

Emperor Renxiao froze.

Everyone who heard Shen Yuanxu's words froze at the same time.

Was Shen Yuanxu kicked in the head by a horse during the war? The Wu family put such a big green hat on his head, but he is still thinking about the Wu family's daughter?

Wu Yanzhi thought that Shen Yuanxu would ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the matter, and would ask His Majesty to severely punish the Wu family and execute his daughter and mother. He never thought that Shen Yuanxu would do this.

Even in exchange for military merits?

It would do him no good at all if he continued to fight against the Wu family like this.

Wu Tingxue was also confused. She had committed such a crime that Shen Yuanxu asked for permission to have the inner prison secretly kill her and her son, which was a light punishment. She didn't expect that he didn't even mention her.

After Emperor Renxiao realized what was happening, he looked at Shen Yuanxu seriously and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shen Yuanxu: "I know."

Emperor Renxiao's tone was a little harsh, and he seemed to be angry.

"Then you dare to exchange it for military merits? Do you know that without military merits, you will be nothing but a nobody in the future?"

Shen Yuanxu said word by word: "I am originally a scholar, and fighting in battle is just my duty as a Great Zhou citizen. When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a duty. When the country needs me, I will join the army without hesitation. Now that the Great Zhou is at peace, I will naturally follow my heart, take off my armor, pick up my pen and study again, and take the exam to obtain a good reputation."

Emperor Renxiao: “…”

Everyone: "..."

After a dead silence, Emperor Renxiao coughed twice to break the silence.

"Yuan Xu, you have to think carefully!"

Shen Yuanxu said with determination: "Uncle, I have thought it through very clearly. Joining the army is serving the Great Zhou, and retiring to study is also serving the Great Zhou. It's just a different way. I will serve the Great Zhou and my loyalty to you will never change!"

After hearing this, everyone complained in their hearts.

To exchange military merits for a marriage, the man's brain must have been kicked by a horse. No normal person would do such a thing.

How could he not do that? Don't forget that King Zhennan Zhou Ruyuan had exchanged his military merits for a woman.

As expected, they are in-laws, and they all think similarly.

Shen Yuanxu was absolutely stupid. He just gave up the military merits he had earned with his life. What could he learn from studying again? He was not good at studying before.

Emperor Renxiao looked at Shen Yuanxu deeply and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Shen Yuanxu kowtowed: "Please help me, uncle. I still prefer reading."

Wu Yanzhi snapped back to his senses: "Your Majesty, this is not possible. I don't have a legitimate daughter of marriageable age in my family."

Emperor Renxiao said in a louder voice: "Okay, I agree!"

Wu Yanzhi slumped to the ground with a dejected look on his face.

Emperor Renxiao was deeply shocked by what Shen Yuanxu had just said. After the matter of the Wu family came to an end, he immediately dismissed everyone and talked to Shen Yuanxu alone for a while.

When Shen Yuanxu left again, he was holding the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone given by Emperor Renxiao, as well as the imperial edict granting him marriage.

Emperor Renxiao sent Shen Yuanxu away and immediately sent someone to send a letter to the Wu family.

On the same day, Wu Tingxue and her son were quietly sent out of the capital. Half a month later, both mother and son died of a sudden illness on the way to their hometown.

Wu Yanzhi personally watched over and had Wu Tingxue and her son sent away. Wu Yanzhi's current wife is his second wife, who is young and beautiful and had just given birth to a child. She was not at all kind to the child left by Wu Yanzhi's previous wife.

"Master, why don't you cancel the previous engagement with Tan'er and marry her to Shen Yuanxu." Liang's eyes flickered and she kept calculating in her mind.

Wu Tingtan was the youngest daughter of the one who died earlier. She relied on the Prime Minister's favor and contradicted her again and again. If she hadn't been smart, the child would have been gone long ago. Now the opportunity given by God was just right to deal with the little bitch.

Wu Tingtanxu's family is the only son of Liu Mingxin, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. Not to mention their family background, the key is that their inner house is clean. It is a good family that Wu Yanzhi carefully selected for his youngest daughter.

If he might have weighed the pros and cons before, there is absolutely no way he would cancel the engagement now.

Liu Mingxin and Mei Nanhua are both popular candidates for the special examination examiner. Even though Liu Mingxin is not as prestigious as Mei Nanhua, he will definitely get the position of deputy examiner.

It just so happened that he had several students who were about to take exams, so he absolutely could not refuse this marriage.

"Shut up. How can a woman like you from the inner chamber arrange important affairs of the court?" Wu Yanzhi suddenly frowned.

Liang was shocked. She married Wu Yanzhi because he was young and good-looking, and Wu Yanzhi had never been cold to her. Liang was so frightened by being scolded that her heart started beating wildly.

"Master, I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to share your worries." Liang hurriedly acted coquettishly and spoke softly.

Wu Yanzhi was thinking about which daughters in his family were not engaged to other families. A concubine's daughter would do. At most, she could be registered under the name of his deceased wife, which would also be considered a legitimate daughter.

"Take care of the inner house and look after the children. Don't worry about other things!" Wu Yanzhi said this and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Liang appeared respectful and obedient on the surface, but as soon as Wu Yanzhi left, her eyes were immediately filled with resentment and hatred.

If she is not allowed to intervene, what if Wu Tingtan goes and makes trouble on his own?

……

"Lan Xi, I've made up my mind. I'll go to the Wu family to propose marriage tomorrow!" Shen Yuanxu thought about it again and again, but he couldn't wait any longer and went to find Shen Lan Xi in less than a day.

At this time, she was handling government affairs with Cheng Zheng.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanxu immediately changed his words: "General, I want to settle the Wu family's affairs as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."

Shen Lanxi put down her pen and looked at the man in front of her who was strong and tall enough to hold up the sky.

"Have you thought about it?"

Shen Yuanxu had already thought of all the possible outcomes.

"For the Shen family, I'll do anything!" It's just to delay his marriage, not to sacrifice his whole life.

Shen Lanxi: "Since you have made the decision, go ahead and do it. I'll let Wei Dongzhu go with you!"

Shen Yuanxu thought of Wei Dongzhu. Recently, Wei Dongzhu often came in and out of the Shen family. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Was Lan Xi's behavior too obvious at this time?

"Lan Xi, I'll ask my parents to find someone they know, so there's no need to trouble General Wei."

Shen Lanxi asked with a smile: "Who can you find?" Who is willing to take the risk of offending the Wu family and take the lead on behalf of the Shen family?

Shen Yuanxu thought about it, but really couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

"Okay then, I'll go tell my parents."

Shen Lanxi kindly reminded: "If they make things difficult for you, just tell them that it was me who arranged it!"

Shen Yuanxu smiled, nodded and did it.

Cheng Zheng wrote a line of words and handed it to Shen Lanxi.

After reading it, Shen Lanxi chuckled: "Do you think my idea is too wicked?"

Cheng Zheng shook his head and quickly wrote another line of words.

"I have never forced any of them. Every choice was made by them. Even if they resent it in the future, they will only resent their own ambitions."
