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

Shen Lanxi also received an invitation to the wedding. The funny thing is that she had just attended the funeral of the fifth prince yesterday.

Emperor Renxiao was unwilling to wait even a day longer.

"Send the invitation to the old lady and ask her to arrange someone to attend!"

She would definitely attend the event, but she didn't know how Emperor Renxiao would arrange it.

After all, the wedding and the coronation were on the same day, so many things needed to be taken care of. Zhou Rulin was the legitimate son of the late queen, so it was reasonable that the queen should take care of this matter.

Unfortunately, the Queen has been claiming illness and has been away from home ever since Concubine Shu had a miscarriage. No matter how much Emperor Renxiao wants to support Zhou Rulin, he will not let the Queen come out to take care of things despite her illness.

Similarly, since the miscarriage, Concubine Shu has been claiming to be ill and unable to go out. In addition, this miscarriage was caused by the eldest prince's wife. Even if Emperor Renxiao wanted to save face for his son, he could not let Concubine Shu come out despite her illness to arrange the eldest prince's wedding.

After much deliberation, Emperor Renxiao decided to entrust the eldest prince's marriage to the Ministry of Rites.

With the imperial edict conferring the title of king as the guarantee, even if it was not in accordance with the etiquette, the court officials could not find any major faults.

When Shen Lanxi was on patrol, she saw the guards hurriedly carrying an urgent document from eight hundred miles away into the Yangxin Palace.

Not long after, Shen Lanxi knew the urgent content.

"Your Majesty, these two traitors are so bold, I will definitely send troops to attack them immediately!"

"I will reconsider!"

"I will reconsider!"

"That's not right. Right now, all the imperial forces are being used to defend the fortress. It would be inappropriate to withdraw troops from any side!"

"Think twice about this!"

"The two traitors actually threatened the safety of our Great Zhou. They are determined to do evil. We must fight them back. Otherwise, our Great Zhou will be controlled!"

In the main hall, the court officials were discussing and arguing endlessly.

Emperor Renxiao had a headache. He did not send troops to attack the two rebels, which was already a tolerance towards them. He did not expect that they would be so shameless and join forces with other places to threaten him!

There are soldiers and horses, but those 200,000 soldiers and horses have not been completely subdued. If they rebel and surrender to those two traitors, wouldn't it make them even more arrogant?

"Your Majesty, those two traitors are still talking about sending envoys to negotiate, which clearly shows that they do not take our Great Zhou seriously. If those two envoys dare to come, they will leave without returning."

"No, no, when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. This is the rule set by our ancestors!"

"What rules? They don't even recognize their ancestors, so what rules are they supposed to recognize?"

"We can't let them continue to run rampant!"

They started arguing again.

Emperor Renxiao was extremely anxious and subconsciously looked at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi is a minister he relies on. Others may have second thoughts, but she will not.

"Lan Xi, what do you think we should do?"

The discussions of the court officials came to an abrupt halt. Some were disdainful, some were enjoying the show, and some were deep in thought, but no one interrupted.

"I think we can use the strategy of procrastination!"

The generals gathered together and discussed in a low voice whether it was feasible.

The civil officials also gathered together separately, whispering to each other.

Emperor Renxiao looked thoughtful. He understood what Shen Lanxi meant if he took it slow.

But~

"What kind of dragging method?"

The two traitors must not be allowed to stay.

Shen Lanxi said calmly, "Our Great Zhou is famous and powerful. It happens to be your Majesty's birthday, and envoys from all over the world will definitely come to celebrate. Why don't you change the date of paying tribute to your birthday? Let the two traitorous envoys see the mighty strength of our Great Zhou and scare them. Let's see if they dare to be so arrogant again!"

Emperor Renxiao nodded.

"You must let the two rebels know that your majesty did not send troops to them because you have compassion for the people of the world, not because you are afraid of them, and certainly not because you are afraid that they will cause chaos."

"The Great Zhou has a strong military force and a wealth of talented people. Your Majesty has countless elite soldiers and generals at his disposal. Any one of them can crush them to death with just his fingers!"

The civil officials whispered that this was a good way to defeat the enemy without fighting.

The military generals also gathered together and whispered, this was a good thing to enhance the prestige of the military generals.

"I think what Lord Shen said makes sense!" said the civil official.

Military General: "I also think what Lord Shen said makes sense!"

When Emperor Renxiao saw that all the civil and military officials had expressed their opinions, they agreed to the tactic of procrastination and he went with the flow and agreed to the matter.

"After the court session, the regent, Shen Lanxi, and the people from the Ministry of War stayed behind."

A court official said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan is the god of war of our Great Zhou, and his reputation spreads far and wide. If the Prince of Zhennan participates in this matter, the deterrent effect will definitely be better!"

Emperor Renxiao looked at the courtier, his eyes flashing with displeasure, but his face showed that he had just remembered something.

"The Prince of Zhennan has been busy settling the Fifth Prince's family recently, and I forgot about it."

"Prince Zhennan, please stay with us!"

Zhou Ruyuan: “Yes!”

There is still more than a month until Emperor Renxiao's birthday, so there is still time to make arrangements now.

Emperor Renxiao discussed with his court officials for more than an hour, and finally decided that Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyu would be responsible for security and defense, while Prince Chen would be responsible for reception.

The Regent is responsible for supervising and filling in the gaps, with the assistance of the Ministry of War.

The more detailed divisions will then be arranged by the regent.

On the surface, Emperor Renxiao treated Prince Zhennan and Prince Chen equally.

……

When Shen Lanxi returned to the mansion, she saw the happy family.

Shen Yuantang walked up to her with a gift in his hand, looking very obedient. "Big sister, Yuantang knows he was wrong, and brought this gift to apologize to our family. Please forgive me, big sister!"

Shen Lanxi looked at the exquisite headpiece in the box without saying a word.

"Big sister, are you still unwilling to forgive me? Then next time Yuantang comes, I will carry a whip on my back and apologize to you, big sister!" Shen Yuantang wiped his tears pitifully.

"Lan Xi, Yuantang has already admitted his mistake to us." Old Madam Shen got the advantage and spoke up for Shen Yuantang.

However, Liu and others did not dare to speak easily when they saw that Shen Lanxi's face looked strange.

"Big sister, I know I shouldn't lose my temper with that concubine, but I can't help it. Big sister, do you know what she looks like?"

"I don't blame my father, but I have to vent my mother's anger, so that's why I acted like that. Big sister, I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!" Shen Yuantang looked like he was sincerely admitting his mistake.

Shen Lanxi slowly raised the corner of her mouth: "I accept your kindness!"

Chunxue stepped forward and put away his headgear.

"I understand what you mean!" Shen Lanxi said again.

Shen Yuantang's eyebrows jumped and his eyes flickered.

She really came here to apologize sincerely today. She has been so humble, the elder sister should forgive her!

"Big sister, I have already gone to see mother. Mother said that I am young and don't know much, and she will teach me more in the future."

Shen Lanxi said, "Then I'll punish you. Go to your mother's house every morning and evening to pay your respects and listen to her teachings!"

Shen Yuantang remained silent, looking hesitant.

"What, you don't want to?"

Shen Yuantang quickly said, "Big sister, I've already married into the Zhennan Palace, and I have to look at Bai Qingling's face when I go in and out. I'm afraid that if I come here every day, she won't agree."
