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

Chapter 337 Promoted to Duke Juding and commanding the Beijing Guards!

Wang Bao: "He hasn't returned yet. Judging from the date, he should be back soon. He also sent a letter via carrier pigeon the day before yesterday, but there are some things that cannot be written in the letter."

Although Emperor Renxiao was unwilling to admit it, the pigeon had already given the answer. There was nothing written on it, but it was the answer.

A day later, Shen Lanxi entered the palace again. She was the victim of an assassination, so it was reasonable for her to come to the palace to urge you to read.

"Uncle, this is the old ginseng I just received. Although it is not as good as the previous one, it is also very rare. It is at least four or five hundred years old. Grind it and use it for foot soaking. The effect should be good!"

Emperor Renxiao looked at the two old ginsengs in the sandalwood box. Each of them was more than one meter long, and the roots were three or four meters long when unfolded.

Such a good thing, used for foot soaking, I’m afraid it’s just to make him happy, right?

"Lan Xi, you are thoughtful!" Emperor Renxiao's furious heart seemed to be injected with a stream of water, and he was finally not so anxious and irritable.

Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, if Wang Xiangrong's matter is difficult to handle, just lock him up for a few years!"

Renxiao's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Lanxi, you have been wronged."

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes and clasped her fists with a respectful look on her face: "For the sake of the stability of the Great Zhou, it is nothing for me to suffer a little grievance."

As early as yesterday, after Zhou Qiwu left, Emperor Renxiao had already made the decision. Wang Xiangrong could not be moved for the time being. Dongchuan had just been pacified not long ago, and there could not be any more trouble.

"Lan Xi, the Great Zhou is in turmoil right now. I'm sorry for you!"

Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, please stop talking like that. If it weren't for your uncle who pressured all the officials to allow Lanxi to enter the court as a woman, I wouldn't be where I am today, and the Shen family wouldn't be vindicated. It was your uncle who saved the lives of the Shen family. I swore that as long as I live, I will be loyal to the Great Zhou until death!"

Emperor Renxiao was moved again. All his sons combined were not as good as Shen Lanxi.

"Lan Xi, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter!"

Not long after Shen Lanxi returned, an imperial edict arrived from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

"By the providence of Heaven... Shen Lanxi has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and has successively solved the theft of Wei's army's grain and fodder, and arrested the traitors. His contributions have been beneficial to the country, so I hereby grant him the title of Duke of Ju Ding and command the Beijing Guards. I decree this!"

Shen Lanxi: "I accept your order!"

After sending away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, Che Mingyuan and others looked at the imperial edict as if it were a rare treasure.

"Sir, you are a duke now!" If it were someone else, Che Mingyuan would not have sighed like that.

However, Shen Lanxi, as a woman, was ranked as a duke, which had never happened before in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ban Si Cao: "The Duke has made our Lord do this, so is it time to crown him King?"

Che Mingyuan didn’t dare to think about it before, but now, he feels he can think about it.

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty has granted me the title of Duke of Juding, which clearly means he wants me to cut ties with the Zhenbei Army!"

One sentence calmed everyone down.

"So that's what you're planning, Lord Ju Ding. It's better not to do it!"

"Will this mean that Your Excellency will not be able to lead the Zhenbei Army openly in the future?"

"What a good plan!"

Shen Lanxi sneered: "I have climbed from a nobody to my current position, and I only believe in one thing."

"In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are just paper tigers!"

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

Shen Lanxi: "Everyone, what you have to do next is to organize the first spring examination after the chaos. I should also go to meet the Beijing guards."

Che Mingyuan immediately began to plan: "The capital guards can command a thousand soldiers, and the duke's title can support three hundred palace soldiers. All of these will be put on the table."

Shen Lanxi nodded: "The Beijing Guards are responsible for patrolling and protecting the capital. Although they are few in number, they have one privilege: they can enter and exit the city gates freely!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

The next day, Shen Lanxi went to report to the Beijing Guard. The deputy commander of the Beijing Guard was very dissatisfied to see that Shen Lanxi, a woman, was going to lead the large Beijing Guard.

"Sir Shen, although our Beijing Guards are not as famous as the Imperial Guards, we are all under His Majesty's command and are responsible for the safety of the capital. We cannot be careless. In addition to patrolling the capital every day, we are also responsible for eliminating hidden dangers. From spies sneaking into the capital to assassinations and fires in civilians' homes, our Beijing Guards have to deal with all of this. It's very hard work."

Shen Lanxi looked at Deputy Commander Sun Feng, whose expression showed clear rejection.

This person wanted her to back down.

"We in the Beijing Guards don't keep idle people. If you want to win our respect, you must speak with your strength. Otherwise, none of our brothers will be convinced. If you think you can command the Beijing Guards just by sitting in the position of commander, you are very wrong." Sun Feng said arrogantly.

Shen Lanxi laughed: "If I defeat you, will I take the position of commander and no one will interfere?"

Sun Feng sneered in his heart and said decisively: "Yes, we Beijing Guards have always respected strength. If you can't even fight, you don't deserve to be in the Beijing Guards."

Shen Lanxi: "Stop talking nonsense, let's have a fight!"

Sun Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Lanxi didn't show any fear at all and just accepted the challenge.

Looking at the way she looks, she doesn't look like someone who can fight. What if I hurt her and the higher-ups blame me?

"If you want to fight, fight with my men first. Only after you defeat my men, you will be qualified to fight with me!" It's not that Sun Feng looks down on women, it's just that their Jingwei is made up of men. If they let a woman lead them, others will laugh their heads off.

Especially those imperial guards, who have always relied on their status as the emperor's personal guards to suppress them. If those imperial guards with their eyes on the top of their heads knew about it, they, the imperial guards, would never be able to raise their heads again.

Shen Lanxi said with a smile: "Fighting first when entering the door, is this the rule of the Beijing Guards? Now I know."

Sun Feng raised his chin and answered at that time.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "If anyone wants to join the Beijing Guards in the future, the primary assessment should be done according to this!"

Sun Feng was driving a car with a rather ugly look on his face.

Did she really think of herself as the commander of the Beijing Guards? She hadn't even fought, so it was not certain whether she could stay.

Sun Feng's men: "Sir, don't you need weapons?"

Shen Lanxi: "We are all colleagues from now on. Swords have no eyes. It will be bad if anyone is hurt!"

Sun Feng's men: "..."Okay!

Just when all the Beijing guards on duty gathered to watch the fun, Sun Feng's men flew out in a streamlined shape and then fell heavily to the ground.

Even Sun Feng, who was the closest to the opponent, didn't see clearly how Shen Lanxi made the move, and... the fight was over!

Sun Feng looked at Shen Lanxi silently. This time he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. Instead, he adopted a look of competition between rivals.

"I underestimated the enemy!" Sun Feng admitted his mistakes generously.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Let you use weapons!"

Sun Feng took off the sword from his waist and threw it to his men.

"What a joke! I, Sun Feng, never take advantage of others, let alone women."

Shen Lanxi: "Deputy Commander Sun looks down on women?"

Sun Feng frowned: "It's not that I look down on you. Women are naturally weak, while men are strong and powerful. How can a man bully a woman?"

Shen Lanxi: "He still looks down on women. However, since he said he would not bully women, he is an upright person!"

Sun Feng curled his lips. What do you mean it counts?
