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

Zhao Zheng did not rush to refuse, but asked with a look of doubt on his face: "Really?"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War was delighted and immediately said: "Marquis Yong'an is the leader of all military generals, it would be most appropriate for you to come forward!" However, this honor belongs to the former Marquis Yong'an and has nothing to do with the current one.

"Well, since you all think so highly of me, I will give it a try. I hope the Second Prince can cherish the opportunity given by the court and turn back to the right path as soon as possible!"

Shen Lanxi nodded and continued the discussion.

"Yesterday, I was assassinated. Now I have found out that those assassins were all from the Southwest Army. Please give me an explanation, King Zhennan!"

The eyelids of all officials jumped. The two kings finally faced off against each other.

Zhou Ruyuan frowned immediately: "Impossible, most of the Southwest Army is stationed at the border, and they will not move without the order of the court. The city guards outside the city only have a few personal guards I brought from the Southwest, and the rest are original soldiers and newly recruited soldiers."

Shen Lanxi curled her lips and sneered: "They said they were ordered by your princess to assassinate me!"

The whole court was in uproar!

It’s said that Shen Lanxi is a vengeful person. The Prince of Zhennan and the Princess made her lose face so much, how could she not take revenge?

Isn't it uncomfortable for her to see the two of them living together every day?

He will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge, and now the chance has come.

From this incident, we can see that Shen Lanxi is not only vindictive, but also very petty and holds grudges.

"Impossible. The princess rarely leaves her mansion every day. How could she allow someone to assassinate you? Moreover, she cannot mobilize the people from the Southwest Army or the City Defense Army. Without the king's order, who would dare to give her so many people at once!"

Zhou Ruyuan didn't believe it. Although Qingling was good at scheming, he was always very clear about major issues and would not make such a simple mistake.

Shen Lanxi lowered her voice and said, "Those people said that they were sent outside by Bai Qingling to join the Southwest Army. Prince Zhennan, if the testimony is true, this is raising private soldiers."

The court stipulated that officials with meritorious service and titles could raise soldiers, but there were also restrictions on the number of soldiers, but they were absolutely not allowed to raise private soldiers. Raising private soldiers was considered treason!

Zhou Ruyuan immediately retorted loudly: "It's fake, the testimony is fake, someone must want to frame my Zhennan Palace!"

Shen Lanxi: "This case will be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for joint investigation. Prince Zhennan, this matter is related to you, you should avoid suspicion. Do you have any doubts about this arrangement of the prince?"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Shen Lanxi coldly. Seeing that she arranged for someone else to judge the case, he began to feel uneasy.

Could it be that what Shen Lanxi said was true?

If Qing Ling really did it, then it would really be a disaster for the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion.

Shen Lanxi: "There is one more thing. The two envoys sent by the rebel king can be arranged to leave the city. If the two countries were not at war and the envoys were not killed, they would definitely not leave alive!"

Zhou Ruyuan's mind was completely focused on Bai Qingling commanding the Southwestern Army to assassinate Shen Lanxi. When he heard her say this, he was dazed for a moment and didn't take it to heart.

"My Lords, if you have something to report, please leave the court!"

All officials were silent, and Wang Bao raised his voice: "Dismiss the court!"

There was silence in the small cabinet.

Before, they considered themselves as regent ministers, looked down on Shen Lanxi, and wanted to kick her out of the court. Unexpectedly, Shen Lanxi became the regent in a blink of an eye, and her position was one level higher than theirs.

Judging from the situation at court today, their small cabinet will be in name only.

"Prime Minister~"

"Master Liu~"

"Old Master~"

"In the court today, Shen Lanxi was so arrogant and domineering that she could cover the sky with one hand. She simply threw the face of us men to the ground and stepped on it hard. We can't just let it go like this!"

"Shen Lanxi is definitely planning a rebellion. As a woman, it's ok for her to be an official, but she actually wants to control the court. This is simply like a hen crowing at dawn, turning the world upside down!"

"We must work together to drive her out of the court..."

"Three lords, why don't you say anything?" All the officials were so anxious that they were running around in circles. The three regents, who they used to follow as their weather vanes, didn't say a word.

Wu Yanzhi snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? Can't you see it? The Great Zhou is going to be in chaos!"

"Prime Minister, please stop exaggerating!" the officials shouted.

"Whether it is alarmist or not, you can ask the other two adults and you will know!" Wu Yanzhi sat aside with a gloomy face, thinking in his mind.

"Old Master, you are the cornerstone of the court. You must stand up and drive Shen Lanxi out of the court. We will all listen to your orders!"

Mei Nanhua sneered, laughing at the officials for not being able to see the current situation clearly.

"There's going to be a war, and you're still only concerned about petty gains. Your lives are about to be lost, and you still care about Shen Lanxi's identity as a woman. You don't even understand things as well as a woman!"

The official who was named had an ugly look of pale and blue on his face.

Liu Mingxin sighed: "Your Majesty's dragon body is obviously in serious trouble!"

All the officials kept silent and looked at the three regents, waiting for them to take charge of the situation.

"The most important thing is to confirm whether His Majesty is still healthy. I need to see His Majesty and ask him clearly whether the imperial decree to confer the title of King was issued by His Majesty!"

The courtiers nodded in unison.

If His Majesty is fine, they are wrong to force Shen Lanxi. If His Majesty really has an accident, they will ask for help. These are two different concepts.

One is a great sin, the other is a great merit.

"We still have to find a way to get news about His Majesty!" Liu Mingxin made the final decision.

Wu Yanzhi and Mei Nanhua both nodded, and that same day they mobilized their powerful connections to begin inquiring about the news of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

They easily found out the news about Emperor Renxiao.

"Your Majesty was poisoned by the Queen. Is the Qi family planning a rebellion?"

"I think the Queen wanted to be the Queen Mother. Fortunately, she was discovered."

"What's good about that? Your Majesty has been poisoned, and it was the green silkworm. Have you forgotten how the late queen died?"

The worst thing about this poison is that there is no antidote!

The news soon reached Zhou Ruyuan's ears, but unfortunately he was already extremely worried. The news did not make him happy, but made him even more irritated.

"It seems that one of Shen Lanxi's subordinates has a deep understanding of the poisons of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect?" Zhou Ruyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Could it be that Shen Lanxi poisoned her father? No, if it was really Shen Lanxi who poisoned her, the queen would never plead guilty.

It would be great if he could get news from the harem, his mother must know the inside story.

"Your Highness, the princess has been taken away by people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple."

Zhou Ruyuan's face turned dark instantly.

"Didn't you say that he would be questioned in the mansion? Why do you want to take him out?"

The guard was at a loss as to how to respond.

Zhou Ruyuan hurried to the backyard.

People from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were escorting Bai Qingling out of the yard.

"Your Majesty, please save me. I am innocent. Someone wants to frame me!"
