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

Chapter 457: The Imperial Sword is used to preside over the martial arts examination again!

Ignoring the officials' clamour, Emperor Renxiao was worried about another matter. The grain problem had been solved. What about the death of the Third Prince of Yue and his envoy?

"Lan Xi, what do you say?" Emperor Ren Xiao was also somewhat unhappy with Shen Lan Xi's exchange. After all, silk was an important export product of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Before this, the technology had always been firmly in their hands. The silk produced by the Great Zhou Dynasty could be sold for hundreds of gold in other countries.

Shen Lanxi: "I want to get through this hurdle first. After all, it will take more than half a year for the envoys from the Yue Kingdom to arrive in the Yue Kingdom. And I also learned by chance that the grain seeds this time were provided by the Yue Kingdom to the two traitors, so I can be considered to have intercepted them!"

Emperor Renxiao's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Great!"

All his daughters combined are not as good as Shen Lanxi.

Before, he secretly ordered Shen Lanxi to give the rebels a warning. He thought she was too busy to remember it, but he didn't expect that she would give him such a big surprise.

Those who had just written to attack and annihilate Shen Lanxi all looked bitter, but they did not expect that their attack would be resolved so easily by Shen Lanxi.

How could Shen Lanxi be so lucky!

Emperor Renxiao was very pleased. He thought that it would take half a year or even a year for the envoys from Yue Kingdom to arrive, and there was still a lot of room for maneuver, so he was not in a hurry.

He asked with a pleasant face, "How did you convince the envoy of the Moon Kingdom about the death of the Moon Kingdom's third prince and the envoy?"

Shen Lanxi: "I threatened them at first. If they didn't give in, I would unite with other countries to attack the Moon Country. When they got scared, I said I could sign a friendly diplomatic relationship with them. If other countries attacked them, I would send troops to rescue them immediately!"

As Emperor Renxiao thought about the secret, the smile on his face deepened.

"Lan Xi, you did a great job. I can't think of anything else to reward you with!"

Shen Lanxi immediately said respectfully: "This is what I should do, I dare not ask for a reward!"

Emperor Renxiao thought about it and immediately came up with an idea.

"I will grant you a precious sword. With this sword, you can kill all the traitors!"

Shen Lanxi: "I bow to thank you for your grace!"

The first thing Shen Lanxi did after retiring from court was to receive the sword bestowed by the emperor and place it at home for worship.

This was the first time Shen Lanxi had seen her family since she had hurried back to the mansion after the princess' funeral.

Seeing what Shen Lanxi brought back, everyone in the Shen family was excited.

"I've never heard of this sword!" Shen Conglian's face was almost pressed against the sword in the dragon scale scabbard.

The arrival of the Imperial Sword dispelled a little bit of the haze hanging over the Shen family.

Old Madam Shen said, "Your Sixth Aunt will be taking people back to Jiangnan tomorrow, so let's have a reunion dinner at home today!"

Shen Lanxi nodded in agreement.

Shen Hui Niang was frightened by the incident involving Shen Shuniang's son. She didn't expect that she would not only not get any benefit, but also ruin her entire family.

Shen Huiniang deeply felt the danger of the capital and the danger of the Shen family.

She now regretted coming to the capital. If she hadn't come, they would have cut off their relationship with the Duke of the Guardian. Now that she was here, if something happened to the Duke's Mansion, they would be implicated again.

The Shen family's ship is not sailing steadily!

After a hasty family dinner, Shen Hui Niang urged her children to leave before dawn. When Mrs. Shen sent someone to deliver money after dawn, Shen Hui Niang and her family had already left the capital.

The court officials were very dissatisfied with Shen Lanxi's exchange of cloth technology for grain seeds, and privately said that Shen Lanxi would cause chaos in the country.

However, people's attitude towards Shen Lanxi began to change little by little because of the continuous influx of grain.

"What's wrong with a woman? You are a man, can you get us some seeds? If not, just shut up."

"When you're really about to starve to death, who cares if she's a man or a woman? You can even treat her as my ancestor!"

The people happily took the distributed grain seeds and farm tools home.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and several children of the Shen family were born.

The two people sent by the rebel kings have reached the final stage of the stalemate with Zhou Ruyuan.

The two envoys could no longer bear it and got together to discuss in secret.

"Emperor Renxiao certainly doesn't want us to split the land. If you and I stay here, our lives will be in danger!"

"Why don't you and I disguise ourselves and leave the capital before daybreak?"

"You go through the south gate, and I'll go through the north gate!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Ruyuan never relaxed his control over them. As soon as they took action, he received the news immediately. He personally watched the two men leave the capital, and after they had gone three miles, he ordered them to be killed!

After such a long stalemate, he finally completed the reception task.

Zhou Ruyuan let out a long sigh. He didn't expect Shen Lanxi to have a way to solve the grain problem. He thought that receiving the envoys was such an easy task, but it would take so long!

I don’t know whether this development is good or bad!

……

The eldest prince who had been away for a long time sent back news that the flood control was going well and the people were in favor of it!

Emperor Renxiao sighed that sending the eldest prince out was the right move.

"Let my son train for another two months, then summon him back!"

Wang Bao saw that Emperor Renxiao was happy and delivered the good news at the right time.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Concubine Xiang and Concubine Liu that they are pregnant with a prince. Concubine Rou, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Xin have diagnosed a happy pulse. Congratulations, Your Majesty! In our Great Zhou, there are many happy events and good things happening one after another!"

Emperor Renxiao was even more excited. In the past, concubines occasionally became pregnant, but not as frequently as now. More children, more blessings. Yes, which emperor could be so vigorous at his age!

Thinking of the elixir that Song Daoxi presented to him, Emperor Renxiao not only rewarded the pregnant concubines, but also had people send him a lot of rewards.

In a blink of an eye, the special imperial examination was approaching. Before the examination, a major event happened in the capital city. The entire family of the Minister of Rites was slaughtered, but the neighbors who lived only across the wall did not hear any noise at all.

The Minister of Personnel had a family of more than 20 people, and this major case quickly reached the imperial court.

Emperor Renxiao personally appointed Zhou Ruyuan to investigate the case strictly, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of War worked together to handle it.

The people in the capital were in panic, and Wu Yanzhi stepped forward to make a proposal.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Examination is a grand event. I suggest that we hold the Military Examination as well to pave the way for the Civil Examination."

Emperor Renxiao immediately thought of the prosperous times of the previous year.

Letting the people watch the warriors fighting passionately can indeed divert their attention.

"Okay, let's follow the advice of the Left Prime Minister and hold the military examination first, then the civil examination."

The old master said: "Your Majesty, the examiner of this year's special examination still depends on your Majesty's appointment."

Emperor Renxiao pondered for a moment and said, "The martial arts candidate is Shen Lanxi. I'll have to trouble the Grand Tutor to take care of the martial arts candidate."

"I accept the order and thank you!"

Hundreds of officials retreated from the court.

Shen Lanxi's current status is beyond doubt. Wherever she goes, officials bow to see her off. When the woman sees her, she bows and salutes, not daring to look up.

The descendants of the Shen family once again plunged into the dire straits of Shen Congwen's supervision of imperial examinations.

At this time, Shen Yuanxu once again stood up loudly and expressed generously and passionately that he was willing to carry on the torch and teach and educate people. He would never take exams for fame in his life and would never take up the students' place!

Although the last sentence is debatable, Shen Yuanxu's spirit infected the teachers and students of Bailu Academy. For a time, the voice of Shen Yuanxu in Bailu Academy was pushed to the peak, even overshadowing the dean of the academy!
