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

I'm afraid that if such a beauty enters the military camp, it will cause chaos in the army.

Che Mingyuan unfolded the imperial edict and read it out: "In compliance with the will of Heaven... Shen Lanxi and the officials of the Ministry of War are specially ordered to take over the army. If anyone disobeys the order, he will be punished for treason!"

They had received a similar imperial edict before, so Zhang Xinsui put his thoughts aside and stepped forward respectfully.

"I am the counselor of the Fifth Prince's palace. Behind me are the guards who escorted the Fifth Prince to the capital to take care of his illness. We very much welcome you all to come."

Zhang Xinsui took the lead and knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

Shen Lanxi dismounted: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Fifth Prince is my beloved son. I am deeply saddened to hear of his death. Later, the Prince of Zhennan will bring the Fifth Prince back to the capital to meet Your Majesty."

Zhang Xinsui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said respectfully: "If the Fifth Prince is still alive, he will surely feel at ease when he knows that Your Majesty has made such an arrangement."

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty means that after a little training, these guards will be under the command of the Imperial Guards."

Does this mean that you are not holding your soldiers accountable?

Zhang Xinsui cried with joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Shen Lanxi changed the subject: "I am the Duke of the First Rank Protector of the Country appointed by His Majesty, and I am also responsible for commanding the Imperial Guards and the Beijing Guards. From now on, you will be under the command of this Duke of the Protector of the Country."

Zhang Xinsui and the generals froze.

Under Shen Lanxi's management?

Are they under the care of a woman?

How could His Majesty trust them? It turns out that he wants to use a blunt knife to cut meat and slowly deal with them.

Zhang Xinsui: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but no one among the generals behind him responded, so he immediately urged in a low voice: "Hurry up and thank the emperor!"

Several generals accepted the order reluctantly.

Shen Lanxi chuckled and said nothing else.

The court has already issued an order to accept them, still with the same excuse, and they are no longer charged with treason.

I'm afraid of being punished later.

Everyone's minds were in a mess. After enjoying the welcoming banquet in a state of shock and joy, everyone went about their business.

Shen Lanxi went to wash up and rest, and the generals quietly went to find Zhang Xinsui.

"Mr. Zhang, I think the imperial court doesn't want to let us go. Why don't we rebel?"

"Yes, if they rebel, they will go back to Xihuazhou and kill them."

"The Fifth Prince still has descendants. Let's return to Xihuazhou, support a new ruler, and cut ties with the imperial court."

Zhang Xinsui stopped them immediately as the talk became more and more outrageous.

"Do you want to rebel?"

The generals were silent. Wouldn't it be treason if they followed the fifth prince?

It's just a nicer name, but the things done are the same.

"Mr. Zhang, the imperial court is already in turmoil. The two rebellious kings also divided the territory, and the imperial court did not do anything to them."

Zhang Xinnian was angry. "That's because the court can't spare any manpower right now. Once they do, they'll be the first to be dealt with."

Wang Zhixiao smiled complacently and said, "If the imperial court can't spare the manpower to punish them, it certainly can't spare the manpower to punish us either."

"Yes, if we go back to Xihuazhou now, maybe we can still find a way to survive!"

"Yes, it's too uncomfortable to be like this, waiting to be slaughtered and disposed of!"

"Before, we listened to the Fifth Prince, and that was fine. Now we have to listen to a woman. It's obvious that the court wants to use this woman to deal with us."

Zhang Xinsui became more angry after hearing what he said.

The court sent a woman to receive them, clearly intending to use the woman to humiliate them.

"Mr. Zhang, don't hesitate, just rebel!"

"Mr. Zhang, I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby who is still breastfeeding. There are more than 60 people in my family. If I pass away, they will definitely not survive!"

"Mr. Zhang, I counted them. There are only 500 of them. We can get rid of them without anyone noticing."

"Mr. Zhang..."

Zhang Xinsui was already somewhat shaken, but he still didn't give in.

"Wait a little longer and see what Shen Lanxi and the others will do next." What if Shen Lanxi and the others are just a cover and someone has set an ambush nearby?

After hearing Zhang Xinsui's analysis, several generals calmed down.

"We need to take a long-term view!" Zhou Xinsui said with scheming in mind.

……

"Sir, they have all gone to see Zhang Xinsui to discuss matters." Ban Sicao reported quietly.

"They are planning a rebellion, why don't I give them some extra ingredients while they are eating."

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Even if these 200,000 people don't go into battle, wouldn't it be good to disperse them to the northwest or Dongchuan to cultivate land?"

"I don't really like fighting and killing. If I can convince people with reason, I will do it."

Ban Sicao's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Che Mingyuan, go talk to Zhang Xinsui. Although he is greedy, lustful, ambitious, and eager for quick success, he still has some good points."

After hearing this, Che Mingyuan was speechless for a moment.

"I'm going right now!"

Before leaving, he had one more thing to ask.

"My Lord, I wonder what advantages you are talking about?"

Shen Lanxi: "He is good at water management."

Che Mingyuan suddenly realized, turned around and walked away steadily.

After resting, Shen Lanxi took a bath, changed her clothes, and went to pay her respects to the Fifth Prince.

Zhang Xinsui and others have already set up the mourning hall. Since the fifth prince's descendants are all in Xihuazhou, the people guarding the mourning hall are all soldiers.

Shen Lanxi was serving as a first-rank duke today. After paying her solemn condolences, she asked about the cause of death of the fifth prince.

Zhang Xinsui said respectfully: "It was a sudden illness."

"Can anyone confirm it?"

"Military doctors can confirm that those doctors are all people who are deeply trusted by the Fifth Prince."

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty has sent people to Xihuazhou to pick up the fifth prince's family to attend the funeral in Beijing!"

Zhang Xinsui's eyes changed, and he considered what Che Mingyuan said to him again in his mind.

Let him control the water?

Become a famous official in water conservancy?

Is it really possible?

Before he could figure it out, a few unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the mourning hall.

Zhang Xinsui felt bad that those people were actually hiding their actions from him.

Shen Lanxi naturally saw it, but she didn't take it to heart.

She had already thought of a response plan if anyone dared to accept the order.

"Sir Shen, I heard that you have successively recovered Dongchuan and the Northwest and made great contributions to the court. I am a humble person and would like to learn from you. I hope Sir Shen will be generous with his guidance!" Wang Zhixiao walked into the mourning hall arrogantly.

Shen Lanxi looked at him coldly: "I don't deserve your advice, but I can give you some pointers, which is more than enough!"

Wang Zhixiao's face changed, and he glared at Shen Lanxi: "I heard that our Great Zhou God of War was defeated by you. I wonder what magical tricks Lord Shen used to make the King of Zhennan surrender?"

Shen Lanxi sneered: "Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. Don't you want to know? I will tell you during the competition later!"

Wang Zhixiao sneered in his heart and looked at him with contempt.

It has long been rumored that Shen Lanxi, relying on her looks and her skills in bed, won over Wei Dongzhu, the major general of the Wei family army, and asked him to charge into the battlefield on her behalf.

She didn't bring Wei Dongzhu with her this time. Could it be that she wanted to use her charm on him during the competition?

No matter what means she used, he would not be fooled. It just so happened that he would kill Shen Lanxi to establish his authority by taking advantage of the competition.
