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

After the military examination came to an end, the civil examination came next.

The old Grand Tutor Mei Nanhua presided over the meeting personally. From selecting deputy judges to deciding the topic, everything was handled by Mei Nanhua alone, without any help from anyone else.

Mei Nanhua could no longer take care of the affairs of the small cabinet, and Shen Lanxi took the opportunity to directly enter the small cabinet.

"How can this be possible? Discussing state affairs is a man's business. Shen Lanxi coming to the small cabinet is simply disregarding etiquette and laws, a hen crowing at dawn!"

"Prime Minister, why don't you wait until Shen Lanxi comes again and tell her in front of her!" Liu Mingxin looked down upon Wu Yanzhi's hindsight behavior.

If you really wanted to say it, why didn't you say it when Shen Lanxi was here just now?

"Lord Liu, you are wrong. We have always been facing the outside world, why are you turning your elbow outward?" Wu Yanzhi accused.

Liu Mingxin said impatiently: "I don't know who was the one who didn't even dare to breathe."

Wu Yanzhi was furious. When Shen Lanxi came, she brought the Imperial Guards with her and wore the Imperial Sword. She came to the small cabinet dressed like that. Even a blind person could see what she was planning.

If you want him to be the first to take action, forget it!

Wu Yanzhi immediately retorted: "Why don't you say anything?"

Liu Mingxin glared at him and said angrily: "You know it clearly!"

Their family is protected by the Imperial Guards. What if they dare to talk back and anger Shen Lanxi, and an accident happens at home?

But don’t forget that Shen Lanxi also has the nickname of the Northwest Female Butcher.

Now Liu Mingxian finally admitted in his heart that Shen Lanxi might have really relied on herself to take over Dongchuan and Northwest step by step.

On the second day, the court began to receive grain sent from various places after the implementation of the grain storage policy.

Shen Lanxi had the food delivered directly to the palace.

Through the palace gate, Shen Lanxi reported the progress to Emperor Renxiao.

"Uncle, you can rest assured now. Food has been delivered from all over the country. The total amount of food delivered today is more than 5,000 kilograms, and there is still a lot on the way!"

Emperor Renxiao was so happy that his laughter could be heard outside the palace through the palace door.

All the civil and military officials were outside the Yangxin Palace. When they heard Emperor Renxiao's powerful laughter, their faces became unnatural.

Zhou Ruyuan also heard it.

It was indeed my father’s voice. My father is fine.

His gaze shifted from the palace gate to Shen Lanxi.

She rose higher and higher, and today, she can be said to be in power.

The emperor would rather hand over power to a woman than to him, his son.

Zhou Ruyuan just felt depressed.

Emperor Renxiao praised Shen Lanxi across the palace gate: "Well done, Lanxi is truly my most trusted minister!"

Shen Lanxi: "I will have someone send the food to the Ministry of Revenue right away so as not to disturb Your Majesty's rest."

No one wants to hear others say that they are sick, and Emperor Renxiao is even more unwilling to do so.

Shen Lanxi chose words carefully and directly described Emperor Renxiao's illness as recuperation, which made Emperor Renxiao very happy.

"Go ahead and do your job well. I will never forget your efforts!"

Shen Lanxi left with the food, and all the officials withdrew.

"Lord Shen, the emperor is much better now. Can we go back?" The officials couldn't stand being detained in a place as big as a small cabinet every day, unable to eat or sleep well, and missing home!

Shen Lanxi: "Why didn't you ask His Majesty just now?"

The official was choked, and naturally he didn't dare to ask.

At the same time, all the officials understood that it was His Majesty who ordered them to stay, and Shen Lanxi had no say in the matter!

……

"When transporting the food, move slowly. If anyone is curious, tell them that this is the first batch of food after Shen Lanxi's grain storage plan. From now on, the people of Da Zhou will never go hungry again!"

"Yes!"

"After leaving the palace, take the food and walk around the inner and outer city ten times, and spread the word!"

"Yes!"

She will reverse the tide today, turn the bad reputation into a good one, and let the people of the world remember that Shen Lanxi is the one who provides them with food!

As soon as Shen Lanxi left, the imperial edict followed.

When all the officials heard the imperial edict, they quickly gathered together after walking away.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Imperial Master to assist Lord Shen in his work!"

The officials exchanged glances with each other, then returned to the small cabinet and immediately closed the door to discuss in low voices.

"This skill of balance is the work of your majesty!"

"Even though the heir of Guiguzi was watching, Shen Lanxi was still held in the palm of His Majesty's hand."

"I just don't know what His Majesty told the descendants of Guigu. We should be more careful with our words in the future!"

After Shen Lanxi finished explaining the arrangements for food, she went to the small cabinet to discuss matters, and all the officials immediately separated and went about their own business.

"Sir Shen, this is a case sent from Yuzhou. It says that the son broke his leg, and the widow sold her granddaughter to buy medicine for her son. When the daughter-in-law found out, she poisoned the widow. When the son found out, he hacked his wife to death. The case was originally very clear, but there is a young child in the family who needs to be fed. If the son is sentenced to death, the child will also die because no one is taking care of him."

"The people of Yuzhou have begged the court to forgive this man. The public opinion is very strong, and the local officials have specially written to the court. Lord Shen, do you think this man should be put to death or not?"

Everyone could see that Liu Mingxian brought up this case to make things difficult for Shen Lanxi.

If she said that the man deserved to die, she would be disregarding the life of the child.

If she did not deserve to die, then it was against the law!

Everyone in the small cabinet pricked up their ears to watch the show.

Shen Lanxi smiled, took the memorial, and then asked, "Is the file here?"

Liu Mingxin was stunned and asked someone to find the file for her.

Shen Lanxi took the file, read the case in detail, and raised several questions.

"It is written in the file that the widowed mother often bullied her son and asked him to stay in the room under the pretext of being sick. Then she often used various excuses to bully her daughter-in-law. According to what is written in the file, the son knew all of this and saw it all, but he did not help his wife or persuade his mother!"

"This?" Liu Mingxin did not look at the file.

"So Lord Shen means that the blame lies entirely with this son?" Liu Mingxin has already found the flaw.

Shen Lanxi: "Yes, but not entirely."

Liu Mingxin felt that she was being pretentious when she heard her say that. She said everything, good or bad, but there was still no correct answer.

"It is natural for a son to be filial to his mother, and it is also natural for a mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law. What is written in the files are just the words of the neighbors, and they cannot be trusted."

Shen Lanxi did not rush to refute, and continued: "There is also the testimony of this son. This son keeps defending his mother, but he never mentions that his mother was wrong to sell her daughter. Obviously, he knew in his heart that his mother was wrong, but he still killed his wife and chose to avenge his mother!"

Liu Mingxin: "That's the mother who gave birth to him. How could he not be angry?"

Shen Lanxi: "Why wasn't he angry when his mother sold her daughter?"

"That's because...that's because his leg was injured and his family really can't afford the medical expenses." Liu Mingxin is well aware of the sufferings of the people.
