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

Shen Lanxi smiled and looked down at the court officials.

"Your Majesty has personally selected Sun Xun as the top scholar in the Golden Examination!"

"Your Majesty has chosen Zhou Tingyu as the second place in the Golden Examination~"

Every time Shen Lanxi spoke, she pretended to get close to Emperor Renxiao to listen to his orders.

Emperor Renxiao's fingers were still able to move, and Shen Lanxi clearly conveyed Emperor Renxiao's meaning.

In the entire court, the only person he trusts now is Shen Lanxi.

"There must be an order. The Ministry of Rites will take care of the parade of the top three. Court is dismissed!"

The court officials were all very worried. His Majesty was clearly here, so why did he let Shen Lanxi convey his orders?

Is what Shen Lanxi said what His Majesty meant?

Why doesn't your Majesty speak?

Afterwards, during the small cabinet meeting, the three regent ministers once again attacked Shen Lanxi.

"Lord Shen, how is His Majesty's dragon body?"

Shen Lanxi: "His Majesty is fine. His Majesty said that he will summon you three when he is better."

Wu Yanzhi: "Sir Shen, His Majesty doesn't look like he is in good health."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "According to what the Left Prime Minister said, what should Your Majesty be like?"

Liu Mingxin took over the conversation: "Your Majesty used to be very vigorous and energetic, and he would always stand up and stretch his muscles when he was in the middle of a meeting."

Not like it is now, where it is just a decoration.

When the court officials thought of the word "decoration", they began to tremble with fear.

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty is in good health. Instead of spending time guessing about His Majesty, you should finish the tasks His Majesty has assigned you as soon as possible. This will also save His Majesty from being unhappy one day and sentencing you to dereliction of duty!"

The court officials stared at Shen Lanxi in anger but dared not say a word.

Your Majesty is so arrogant, but the situation in the court obviously cannot remain like this forever.

When the old and new forces take over, let’s see how she can still laugh!

On the second day, imperial edicts requesting the appointment of a crown prince piled up in the small cabinet like snowflakes.

The three regent ministers worked in tacit understanding and had a table prepared. They brought the table full of memorials to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi sneered and then showed the memorial to Emperor Renxiao.

Emperor Renxiao was enraged, his blood boiling, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

"Sir, can you continue to give His Majesty the medicine?" Wang Bao asked Shen Lanxi uncertainly.

"Yes, these are made by the Imperial Master himself for Your Majesty day and night." You should cherish them!

……

As soon as Emperor Renxiao woke up, he received two pieces of news that were enough to cost him his life.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has rebelled in Nanning!"

"The green silkworm's poison is directed towards the Queen's palace!"

Emperor Renxiao's eyes went dark and he fainted again. When he woke up, it was already two hours later.

"Uncle, the Imperial Master said that you should not be provoked again. Don't listen to such news in the future. Leave it all to the court officials to deal with!"

In order to prevent himself from fainting, Emperor Renxiao raised his hand and pointed at Wang Bao with great effort.

The latter immediately and carefully took out a scroll of imperial edict from under the dragon bed.

When Emperor Renxiao's arm fell, he was already gasping for breath.

"The Emperor has decreed that from today onwards, Shen Lanxi shall be appointed as the Regent. Shen Lanxi knows my heart well and should understand what I mean!"

The first female king of a different surname in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shen Lanxi.

"Lan Xi accepts your order, uncle. Lan Xi understands what you mean. Lan Xi will definitely defend the capital before Prince Chen returns!"

Emperor Renxiao let out a breath as if in relief.

When Prince Chen returned, there were two imperial edicts, one was to allow Prince Chen to ascend the throne, and the other was to sentence Shen Lanxi to death.

I hope my son will hold this imperial edict and use this sharp knife well!

……

All the officials were very curious. Could it be that His Majesty had recovered so well that he summoned all the officials to court?

Some people are still discussing whether Your Majesty is going to make an announcement regarding the appointment of a crown prince.

Unexpectedly, it was none of them, but Shen Lanxi who was crowned the king!

"How can a woman be the regent of my Great Zhou? Your Majesty is so foolish, how can you issue such an edict?"

"I want to see your majesty. If I can't, I would rather die in this palace!"

The Censor was about to hit his head against the pillar, and all the officials hurriedly pulled him back, trying to persuade and criticize Shen Lanxi.

The latter stood beside the dragon throne, looking down from above, at the chaos below as if he was watching a farce.

"Lord Shen, where is my father? I want to see him." Zhou Ruyuan didn't believe that his father would issue such an edict.

It must be Shen Lanxi who took advantage of her father's serious illness and falsely conveyed the imperial edict.

Wang Bao: "Your Majesty is recuperating. I have something to say to the Prince of Zhennan. Investigate the case carefully and don't worry about anything else!"

Zhou Ruyuan felt as if he was slapped in the face. Wang Bao was the one who served his father personally. When he said this, could it be that he was bribed by Shen Lanxi?

"Eunuch Wang, why would my father issue such an edict? It's simply ridiculous!" Zhou Ruyuan said excitedly.

Wang Bao: "This edict was written by me, and I personally ground the ink for your Majesty. I served beside you and watched you write it with my own eyes. If you don't recognize it, you will know the answer after your Majesty recovers!"

Zhou Ruyuan stared at Shen Lanxi. She even dared to accept such an imperial edict. What on earth did she want to do?

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty has received news that the Second Prince Zhou Ru'an is plotting a rebellion in Nanning. He is extremely angry and has ordered all officials to capture Zhou Ru'an as soon as possible. Everyone, the court only has these troops now. Who do you think should be sent?"

Most officials were diverted.

"The Second Prince is plotting a rebellion? When was the news released?"

"Before it was the Fifth Prince, and now it's the Second Prince. My Great Zhou... must not be in chaos!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Zhou Ruyuan and said, "The Prince of Zhennan is the God of War appointed by His Majesty, and he is a brother of the Second Prince. Why don't we let the Prince of Zhennan volunteer for this battle?"

Zhou Ruyuan's face changed and he thought about it again and again.

The situation in the court is complicated now. The princes are eyeing the court covetously from outside, and Shen Lanxi wants to control the court from inside. He is the only person in the capital who can fight against Shen Lanxi. She can't transfer him out of the capital!

Zhou Ruyuan immediately retorted: "My father is still in poor health, and as a prince I must take care of him. I am the only capable adult prince in the capital, and I absolutely cannot leave at this time."

Shen Lanxi had already guessed that he would say that.

"Then we should choose another candidate. Everyone in the military department, why don't you nominate someone?"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War did not want to get involved in this muddy water. Now all the troops in the capital had been sent out to cultivate land, so where were the troops left?

Nanning was plagued by banditry, and Zhou Ru'an had already established a foothold there, so going there would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Shen Lanxi: "Zhou Ru'an is a prince after all. I think we should recruit him first, and then send troops to attack him if that doesn't work. My Lords, what do you think?"

The Minister of War's eyes lit up as he looked at the figure that was swaying in front of him and blocking his way.

"I have a suitable candidate, Yong'an Marquis Zhao Zheng."

Zhao Zheng was stunned when his name was called, then turned his head.

"Mr. Minister, everyone knows that I am just a figurehead in the Ministry of War. Do you have a grudge against me by recommending me?"

The Minister of War naturally had already prepared a reason.

"Lord Shen also said just now that we should recruit people first. Your status as the Marquis of Yong'an is enough for you to take on this important task!"
