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

A woman as emperor?

Can a woman be an emperor?

It was said before that women could not join the army, but their prince not only joined the army, but now he also holds the position of the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World.

Their prince had previously been a marquis who inherited the title, then he became a first-rank duke who protected the country, and also served as a general who defended the country, and then he became a regent of a different surname, and now he is also the regent.

Most men would fight for their entire lives to earn any of these titles, but their prince, as a woman, can sit firmly on the throne.

She is talented, powerful, and understands military tactics and how to govern a country. Apart from being a woman, their princess is simply the man of destiny that everyone hopes for.

Besides, does my identity as a woman have any impact on their prince?

No!

After the meeting, everyone was thinking about this matter, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night!

……

Zhou Ruyuan thought that Shen Lanxi would take this opportunity to abuse private punishment, so when he went to pick up Bai Qingling, he brought a doctor with him, and he was sure that Bai Qingling had been tortured beyond recognition.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingling's skin was just a little pale and weak, and there were no external injuries on her body.

"Your Highness, I knew you would come to save me!" Bai Qingling threw herself on Zhou Ruyuan, bursting into tears.

Zhou Ruyuan's body stiffened unnaturally for a moment, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

"I'm glad you're okay, go back first!"

Bai Qingling just thought that the prince felt sorry for her, so she immediately responded softly and was helped into the carriage with a smile.

This scene was seen by some people with ulterior motives, and soon the news that Zhou Ruyuan had exchanged his military merits for Bai Qingling's life spread.

Along with this news, there was also praise for Shen Lanxi's repaying evil with kindness, being broad-minded and taking the overall situation into consideration.

Shen Yuantang was still dreaming of becoming the queen in the mansion. When she heard people in the mansion say that the prince had returned, she immediately ordered someone to take the child to see the prince.

Unexpectedly, what I saw was Zhou Ruyuan supporting Bai Qingling as she walked in.

"Your Highness, wasn't she sentenced to death by execution? Why is she back?" Shen Yuantang asked angrily.

Zhou Ruyuan felt a little guilty for some reason, so he avoided the question and didn't give a direct answer.

"Go back home first. It's embarrassing to stand at the door."

Shen Yuantang has already regarded herself as the queen these days. Because Zhou Ruyuan went out to quell the rebellion, and with Shen Lanxi's relationship, she can almost be said to have the final say in the palace.

So when he heard Zhou Ruyuan's impatience, he immediately became furious.

"Your Highness, she is a criminal in the palace. If we let her in, what if the palace blames us?" She blocked the door and refused to let her in.

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes turned cold and he looked at Shen Yuantang strangely.

In the palace? Who else is in the palace now? The entire palace is controlled by Shen Lanxi. Is she using Shen Lanxi's power to pressure him?

"Are you threatening this king?"

Shen Yuantang's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhou Ruyuan in disbelief.

"Your Highness, I am helping you and our palace! If others knew that we were harboring a wanted criminal in our palace, how would the people and officials in the capital look at us?" How could the prince say this to her? How could he not understand her at all?

Zhou Ruyuan's face turned dark at that moment. What he hated most was being threatened, especially being threatened because of things happening in the rear house.

"You don't have to worry about this. Qingling is no longer a prisoner. No one will criticize the palace for this matter, and it will not implicate you!" After Zhou Ruyuan finished speaking, he ignored Shen Yuantang and helped Bai Qingling into the palace.

Shen Yuantang was stunned. She was helping the prince analyze the pros and cons and helping the palace maintain its reputation. How could the prince say that to her?

It must be that bitch Bai Qingling who said bad things about her in front of the prince.

No, she had to go and see, and also explain everything to the prince.

"Your Majesty..."

Shen Yuantang chased after him, feeling very aggrieved.

……

Shen Lanxi began to deal with the problems left over from the Eighth Prince's Rebellion.

"The Eighth Prince's fiefdom needs someone trustworthy to go over and reorganize it. My Lords, do you have any suitable candidates?"

"I still say the same thing. If there is real talent, I will promote people regardless of their relationship with me!"

The new time and space of the officials began to float.

Shen Lanxi added: "I will send people to conduct detailed investigations on the candidates you mentioned. When you recommend them, please consider them carefully."

The person who wanted to recommend his nephew's son just now gave up.

Shen Lanxi chuckled: "No one recommended it?"

After saying this, she waited for a quarter of an hour, and when she saw that no one spoke, she raised her hand.

Wang Bao immediately submitted a memorial.

"Since you gentlemen have no good talents to recommend, I will have no choice but to select talents from among the reserve officials of previous terms."

The first thing the court officials thought of was, oh no, Shen Lanxi was going to replace him with her own people.

"Zhu Zhongyi, a Jinshi in the second year of Renxiao, ranked sixth in the palace examination and was appointed by His Majesty as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. After serving for two years, he was transferred out of the capital to serve as the magistrate of Qingshui County. Until now, he has been in office for nearly twenty years. Because of his good governance, Qingshui County does not lock its doors at night, and the people have enough food and clothing. Among the students who went to Beijing to take the exam in recent years, there are people from Qingshui County every year. It can be seen that Zhu Zhongyi governs well and attaches great importance to talent training, and has provided a lot of good talents for our court..."

The officials analyzed each sentence one by one.

In the second year of Renxiao, there was definitely a lack of talent. Even though he had entered the Hanlin Academy, he was transferred out of the capital and went to such a remote place. He stayed in the position of county magistrate for so many years. It can be seen that Zhu Zhongyi offended people when he was in the capital.

How did Shen Lanxi know this person?

"Sun Zhongtang, a Jinshi in the 10th year of Renxiao, ranked 24th in the palace examination. At that time, there were no vacancies in the court, so this person could only wait in the capital, and he has been waiting until now."

Officials: Is this true?

He had to wait for more than ten years for the court to assign him an official position. It was obvious that he had offended others, so the court deliberately did not assign him an official position.

"Chen Qinxue, a Jinshi in the ninth year of Renxiao, second in the third class, a disciple of the emperor... He is now raising horses in the Ministry of War."

"Zhang Liang, a benevolent and filial man... is the current magistrate of Shitou County. During his ten years in office, he encouraged the people to open up wasteland for farming and engage in business. Shitou County has become the richest county in the ten counties within a radius."

"Wang Min, Ren Xiao..."

"Liu Geng..."

"Jiang Nian'en..."

"Zhou Hong..."

After Shen Lanxi finished reading, she closed the memorial.

"We will first arrange these officials. When the Ministry of Rites has sorted out all the marquisates who have good governance and have been in their positions for many years, we will arrange them one by one. Ministers, do you have any objections?"

The court was in complete silence.

Shen Lanxi continued, "These officials selected by the king have all been investigated by themselves. If you feel that there is something wrong, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to read the investigation documents."

All officials were speechless.

Before they could even think of any of these, Shen Lanxi had already shut their mouths.

What can they say?

"The Regent is wise and powerful!"

"I thank the Regent for giving those officials who are not treated fairly a chance to display their talents!" Mei Nanhua clasped his fists and bowed.
