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

Shen Lanxi was furious and immediately scolded back sarcastically, "You must have been waiting for a long time for this opportunity to frame me!"

The three regent ministers were full of righteousness and looked unwilling to associate with Shen Lanxi.

Wu Yanzhi sneered: "Lord Shen is sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, but I don't know if he can eliminate the disaster you have committed."

Shen Lanxi was so angry that she said, "Isn't it just food for next year? You don't even care about the prestige of my Great Zhou."

The old master snorted coldly: "You sound nice, only someone like you who is ignorant of the suffering of the people can say that food is not important."

Liu Mingxin stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant.

"Of course she is not just saying nice things. Lord Shen is so powerful that he must have a way to exchange food for him without making friends with the Yue Kingdom."

The old master said disdainfully: "If she can get some food, I will quit my post as the regent and return home immediately!"

Wu Yanzhi quickly advised: "Old Master, don't act on impulse. Anyone can say nice things, but the key is to see the actual food."

Liu Mingxin: "Sir Shen, if you can find a way to get some food, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake in front of all the civil and military officials!"

Wu Yanzhi secretly fanned the flames; "Lord Liu, there is no need to be like this. Everyone knows that food and grass are the top priority now. If Shen Lanxi could get them, we wouldn't be so polite to a small country."

Emperor Renxiao looked at his trusted ministers who were arguing so loudly that he felt exhaustion seeping into every bone in his body.

Just as he was about to stop the quarrel, he heard the three old foxes who had already fallen into their trap.

"Isn't it just food? If I can get it, you must remember what you said!"

The three regents did not take it seriously.

"Of course. If you can get some food and supplies, we three will respect you as our leader!" Wu Yanzhi said lightly with disdain.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll be your witness. If I can't get food next year, I'll be stripped of my official position and never step out of my palace again!"

"Okay!" This is what the three ministers wanted to hear from Shen Lanxi.

Emperor Renxiao was worried. He needed Shen Lanxi right now, so how could he let the others dominate?

"Lan Xi, since you have already made such a boast, I will not stop you."

"But food and fodder are by no means a trivial matter. I have ordered the six ministries and nine officials to fully cooperate with you. If there is a way to get food, you can dispatch it under my command."

The three regents' expressions changed slightly.

"This is a matter of great Zhou's reputation. The three regents must put aside their prejudices and do their best to help!"

His Majesty has already said so, they can only agree. When they really need help, they can talk to him later!

Although the issue of food and grass was pushed onto Shen Lanxi in the form of a bet, the issue of the post station was not resolved.

"Lan Xi, from now on, you will be responsible for preparing food and fodder for next year. Leave the affairs of the post station to the King of Zhennan!"

When Shen Lanxi heard Emperor Renxiao say this, she knew that he had to make preparations for both scenarios.

"The minister accepts the order!"

……

An hour later, the news of the bet between Shen Lanxi and the three regent ministers spread among the people.

The news spread to peddlers and then to peddlers from other places. Then, through the mouths of merchants, it quickly spread from the capital to other places.

In less than half a month, almost the entire Great Zhou knew that Shen Lanxi had single-handedly taken on the heavy burden of raising food and fodder.

Some are contemptuous, some are suspicious, some are pessimistic, and some respond pessimistically.

No one thought Shen Lanxi could raise food and supplies, and everyone thought that she would end up being imprisoned in a deep house.

On the other hand, Zhou Ruyuan, with the instruction of Emperor Renxiao, first negotiated for peace, and then discussed other matters if the negotiations failed.

The envoy of Yue Kingdom found a way out, so he immediately came down the stairs and began to negotiate with Zhou Ruyuan in earnest.

In a blink of an eye, Emperor Renxiao's birthday arrived.

He was very satisfied with the situation of the peace talks with Yue Kingdom.

All contradictions were suppressed.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the whole capital celebrated. Emperor Renxiao's health had improved a lot, and he smiled and toasted with all the civil and military envoys in the court.

There was singing and dancing, and the sound of stringed instruments and bamboos filled the air. It was a peaceful scene.

Little did they know that behind this scene, Wei Dongzhu had already arrested a suspicious person.

The day after the birthday banquet, Wei Dongzhu reported to Emperor Renxiao what had happened yesterday.

"Your Majesty, I was on duty yesterday and found many suspicious people, some of whom were colluding with foreign tribes."

Emperor Renxiao had just taken the elixir, and his whole face was red and his complexion was very rosy.

"Can you find out who those foreigners are?"

Wei Dongzhu mentioned the names of several countries, but Emperor Renxiao did not take it seriously when he saw that Yue Kingdom was not among them.

"Go and investigate this matter secretly. Those villains have been trying to cause trouble for more than a day or two. Fortunately, Wei Qing stopped them for me!"

Wei Dongzhu: "This is my responsibility, I dare not take credit for it!"

Emperor Renxiao blinked his cloudy eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Now is not the time to make things difficult for them. Don't let them get away. After we find out, we will just know the truth. Let them leave the Great Zhou territory safely!"

Wei Dongzhu understood and did it immediately.

Emperor Renxiao did not intend to let the two traitors go easily.

This matter still needs to be carefully considered.

"Tell the Prince of Zhennan to hold back the two traitors as long as possible! If they insist on seeing me, find a reason to send them away!"

"Yes, I will deliver the message right away!"

Shen Lanxi was freed from the task of receiving the envoys and had two days of leisure.

After returning to the mansion, he was planning to gather everyone to discuss matters, but as soon as he got home, he was called away by the old lady.

"Lan Xi, your fifth aunt's cousin and Liang Xinyi's daughter, what about this?"

Shen Lanxi frowned: "Why haven't the two aunts left yet?"

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang, who were named, looked unhappy.

How could anyone dare to speak ill of their elders like this? Shen Lanxi was simply too unfilial.

"They have a long way to go. I don't know when they will come next time. I don't know if I will have the chance to see them again, so I stayed for a few more days."

Shen Lanxi glanced at the two aunts with a cold face: "Since they have already cooked the rice, grandma will take care of it."

Shen Shuniang's face lit up with joy, and she said in a complacent manner, "Lan Xi, on the day your cousin gets married, there will definitely be a big banquet at the mansion. You should invite all the people you know to come and have a drink at the wedding!"

Shen Lanxi looked at her with a half-smile: "What does my Huguogong Mansion have to do with my aunt's son's wedding? If we have to hold a wedding, we should hold it at your house. It's not worth holding a banquet for a concubine's daughter of the Shen family to get married. Let the family members just have a reunion dinner together!"

Shen Shuniang froze, and her smiling face became distorted.

"How can it not be related to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion? My aunt's home is far away, so of course we have to hold the banquet at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion."

Shen Lanxi frowned and said coldly: "My Shen family's legitimate daughter is marrying a son-in-law?"

Shen Shuniang was so embarrassed at that moment.

"Lan Xi, my son is your cousin, your grandmother's own grandson,"

Shen Lanxi sneered: "So what? I've never heard of a grandson occupying the mother's family's land to hold a wedding banquet? Aren't your Jiangnan families extinct?"

"Even if you have no family left, you should build another house outside to get married. You shouldn't occupy my Shen family's place!"
