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

After hearing Jiang Wuya's words, Bai Qingling's face was full of disbelief.

The prince just let go so easily?

Doesn't she have any weight at all in the prince's heart?

"Prince, you must find a way to save me. I'll wait for you!" When Bai Qingling left, she was shouting, but her eyes were full of hatred.

Zhou Ruyuan didn't even dare to look back, or listen to a word, and hurried back home.

~

"My Lady Concubine, the princess has been taken away!" After Bai Qingling was taken away, someone immediately reported to Shen Yuantang.

Shen Yuantang looked at the child sleeping on the couch happily. It was good that he was taken away. Since he was taken away, he should not come back.

"Go tell the prince that the young master misses him."

"My Lady Concubine, the prince must be in a bad mood right now. Would it be bad to disturb him at this time?"

Shen Yuantang's face immediately turned gloomy.

"How can a bitch compare to the young master? Go and report it quickly. If you dare to say another word, watch your tongue!"

"Yes, slave, go now!"

……

Shen Lanxi began to drastically cut down the Qi family's connections in the imperial city. For three consecutive days, all officials were in a panic and did not even dare to cough during court sessions.

The relatives, subordinates, and good friends of the Qi family were all had their property confiscated, some were exiled, and some were demoted.

Every day, yamen runners would escort long groups of exiles out of the city gate.

The small cabinet is now in name only, and all state affairs are now handled in the main hall.

Shen Lanxi even moved a stool and placed it next to the dragon throne, taking charge of the government affairs.

"Shen Lanxi, you are so bold that you dare to be on equal footing with the emperor."

"You are plotting treason, Shen Lanxi. You are the traitor who is bringing disaster to our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Wang Bao glanced at the official who was jumping up and down and cursing, went to the back, took a memorial from the shelf and came back.

"Liu Zhong, the Censor-in-Chief, was a Jinshi in the second year of Renxiao. During his three years of exile, he exploited the people, allowed his relatives to occupy the people's land, accepted bribes, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and sold official positions. After reporting to the capital, he did not restrain himself, formed a clique for personal gain, continued to accept bribes, and abused his power for personal gain. During his tenure, he accepted bribes totaling more than one million taels and committed ten murders..."

Liu Zhong fell to the ground with a pale face.

Shen Lanxi said coldly and impartially: "Liu Zhong is now sentenced to immediate execution. His family members will be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for joint judgment and severe punishment according to their crimes!"

"Drag it!"

The Imperial Guards dragged Liu Zhong away like a dead dog.

Shen Lanxi: "Who else wants to play?"

No one answered!

Wang Bao: "Dismiss the court!"

Emperor Renxiao looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties, unable to speak. He could only lie paralyzed on the dragon bed, at the mercy of others.

"Uncle, today two rebels sent news that they have the antidote for the green silkworm!" Shen Lanxi said expressionlessly.

Emperor Renxiao's eyes widened and his pupils contracted violently.

We need the antidote, and we must get it at all costs!

"Uncle, two traitors want to be crowned kings."

Confer the title of king upon me now!

Wang Bao, hurry up!

Shen Lanxi changed the subject: "The two traitors are so cruel that they used the antidote as bait to trick us. Everyone knows that the Ten Thousand Poison Sect has been wiped out long ago."

Emperor Renxiao shouted in his heart, No, they must not have been wiped out. They must have hidden the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, don't worry. I won't let go of even the slightest chance."

"Lan Xi has ordered people to search for descendants of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in various places. We must not be fooled by these two traitors!"

Emperor Renxiao's eyes almost popped out.

Shen Lanxi, you idiot, why don't you send someone to contact the two traitors?

I want the antidote, bring it to me!

Even if - even if I have to exchange it for the Imperial Seal, I will do it!

Unfortunately, Shen Lanxi could not hear Emperor Renxiao’s cry. After leaving the Yangxin Palace, she went to the harem.

"Gong Shang Liu, is the harem quiet lately?"

Liu Shao Gongjin replied, "They are all very quiet. If any of them are bored, I will have them carried to the Imperial Garden to bask in the sun. But recently there are a few who are disobedient and insist on making trouble, and even the dragon fetus in their bellies has been tossed away."

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "If this large harem is handed over to Sixth Senior Sister, I will be very relieved!"

Liu Shao raised his smiling face and said, "Don't worry, with me here, not even a fly can fly over this high wall!"

Soon good news came from Nanning.

"The Second Prince Zhou Ru'an refused to plead guilty and stubbornly resisted. He has now been executed. Yong'an Marquis Zhao Zheng has ordered his men to escort the criminal's family back to the capital!"

Shen Lanxi: "No need to return to the capital, they are also of royal blood. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and does not want to see the Second Prince's bloodline cut off. Exile him!"

All the officials felt as if they had been hit by a bolt from the blue and could not believe what they heard.

Didn't the Marquis of Yong'an go to recruit the emperor? Why did the Second Prince get executed?

They haven't even thought about it yet, and the war is already over?

The news that Emperor Renxiao was critically ill spread quietly and soon became a hot topic.

For a moment, carrier pigeons and hawks seemed to be startled and flew away in all directions from the capital.

The most discussed topic among the people in the capital now is who will be the next emperor.

Unfortunately, all the civil and military officials were as calm as old cows, and no one submitted a petition to establish a crown prince.

Shen Lanxi holds great power and can cover the sky with one hand!

"Your Highness, this is not a solution. We must let His Majesty make you the Crown Prince before the other princes arrive!" Jiang Wuya tried his best to persuade.

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were dark, and he was tempted, but he hesitated and said, "Now is not the time."

Jiang Wuya was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet.

"Now is the best time. Time is running out for me, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Ruyuan said fearfully: "If I raise an army now, it will be considered as treason. I will be branded as a usurper of the throne and be despised by future generations!"

Jiang Wuya said angrily, "Your Highness is still worrying about these things even at this time. History books are always written by the victors. Your Highness has ascended to a high position, so you can let the historians write history books as you wish."

Zhou Ruyuan still shook his head, he always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

"I only have less than 10,000 soldiers in the city defense army, and the imperial guards and the capital guards have at least 50,000 soldiers in total. If we start a rebellion rashly, we will have no chance of winning!"

Jiang Wuya was so anxious that he almost died.

"My Lord, if you raise your arms now, you will surely have countless followers. Shen Lanxi, a mere woman, is nothing. By then, the imperial guards and imperial guards will defect."

Zhou Ruyuan frowned and said, "Wait a little longer!"

Jiang Wuya took a deep breath. He couldn’t push it. Some people really couldn’t be pushed!

Five days later, the court received an urgent report.

"Reporting to the Regent, eight princes came to the capital without an imperial edict, and they all brought troops with them. Five of them went under the banner of clearing the emperor's side and eradicating treacherous officials."

Shen Lanxi sneered: "Who is the treacherous villain? Who do they want to eliminate?"
