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

Ban Sicao admitted that she was right.

"Your enemies are like bamboo shoots after rain, like hair on a cow, like lice on a donkey, like stink bugs in a sewer..."

"Stop, you can go and rest now. I'll assign you some tasks to do tomorrow. Get enough rest tonight, because you won't have time to rest after tomorrow."

Ban Sicao looked at her serious face and wanted to tell a joke to make her relax, but he didn't expect that this woman only had government affairs in her mind.

"I won't bother you anymore. You should go and rest."

Ban Si Cao walked outside the hall, glanced somewhere, and asked casually, "Why aren't you here today?"

……

Wei Dongzhu left his post earlier than usual today. He was really worried about Xiangnu and her son living in his house. He was even more worried about them living outside.

No one knew when those people came looking for them mother and son. After all, Xiangnu had followed him, and the child was innocent, so he couldn't just ignore it.

After much thought, he could only arrange for four old subordinates to take turns guarding the house.

"General, they can't stay in the capital forever."

Wei Dongzhu thought the same thing.

"It's not safe yet. I don't know why those people brought Xiangnu and her son to the capital."

The former members of the Wei family army snorted coldly: "What else can you do? It's obvious that you want them to destroy the relationship between you and the Regent."

How could a man like the Regent tolerate having women and children around the general?

"General, it's not a good idea to keep lying like this. What if the Regent finds out one day?"

They dared not even think about the consequences.

Others may not know, but how could they not know? Now the impressions of the people and officials in the capital towards the regent are slowly changing. They have begun to ignore her identity as a woman and focus their attention on the laws and regulations she has issued to improve people's livelihood.

Only they knew how strict the Regent was in disciplining the army and how ruthless the training was. It was like this before, and it is still like this now. The Regent has never changed.

It's just that there is no war now, and the methods have changed. When there is a war, the regent can still rush into the enemy camp with a long sword and kill people, causing blood to flow like a river.

Wei Dongzhu's heart sank again and again. Xiangnu was a maid in his room. There were constant wars in the northwest, and he had not yet married. His father was worried that he would marry a noble and prominent family and arouse the suspicion of the emperor, so the marriage was postponed again and again.

The war was brutal, his brothers lost their lives one after another, his mother cried and begged him to leave a descendant for the Wei family. How could he watch his mother kneeling on the ground and begging?

He never thought that he would meet Shen Lanxi in this life, a woman who would make his heart beat.

He didn't know if he could survive...

The former members of Wei's army noticed that Wei Dongzhu was depressed, exchanged glances with him, and said no more.

……

Zhou Ruyuan left, and all the officials went out of the city to see him off.

A thousand soldiers were assigned to the city defense camp, five hundred of whom were Zhou Ruyuan's former subordinates, and the other five hundred were soldiers assigned by the imperial court.

Shen Lanxi stood in front of all the officials and watched Zhou Ruyuan and his party disappear into the distance in a cloud of dust.

He looked back at the magnificent capital for a moment, then led the officials back to the palace.

A day later, war reports came from the southwest again, and the foreign tribes were willing to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou.

Shen Lanxi looked at the audience with dignity: "Whether it is fighting or peace talks, please feel free to speak your mind."

Zhou Ruyuan went there, and most of the officials supported him.

Before anything could be discussed, the Imperial Guards sent another report.

"Anomalies have been discovered in Shu and Qian, and the spies have reported that the two rebels are planning to form an alliance and send troops to our Great Zhou!"

The whole room was silent.

Shen Lanxi took the report, glanced at it, and then asked someone to take it away and circulate it.

"Last time, two traitors sent envoys to provoke our Great Zhou. They were plotting treason and rebellion, and they even wanted to gain recognition from our Great Zhou. It was simply a dream!"

Zhao Zheng: "Fight them! Take back the territory they occupy and let the two traitors be put to death!"

"Fight! These two traitors are too arrogant. They don't take our Great Zhou seriously at all."

Shen Lanxi sighed: "This is a matter concerning the royal family, and I have no right to overstep my authority. I will report this to His Majesty before making the final decision!"

Many court officials were in a daze; they had not seen His Majesty for a long time.

I wonder how your majesty is doing?

On the second day, Shen Lanxi specifically asked Wang Bao to push Emperor Renxiao to appear in the court.

"The two traitors plotted rebellion and repeatedly tried to stir up civil strife in our Great Zhou. They deserve to be killed!" Emperor Renxiao coughed excitedly when he mentioned the two traitors.

Wang Bao skillfully fed Emperor Renxiao some tea to moisten his throat, and then he seemed very tired, closed his eyes and dozed off on the dragon throne.

Shen Lanxi said in a low voice with concern: "Your Majesty is tired, take him to rest!"

Song Daoxi stood aside and waved to the guards to come over.

"Thank you, Imperial Master."

Song Daoxi: "Your Majesty said that the Regent is the one who has made great contributions. The decision to attack the rebels is correct. The two rebels are doing evil and will definitely be defeated!"

Shen Lanxi: "Thank you, Imperial Master."

The court officials watched Song Daoxi leave, and after the court session, they began to discuss the successor of Guiguzi.

It is said that whoever possesses Guiguzi's descendants will rule the world. Now that Guiguzi's descendants are on their side, it clearly indicates that the Great Zhou Dynasty is stable.

But there is another sentence, the descendants of Guiguzi choose a wise leader, and Your Majesty is a wise leader?

Several court officials looked at each other and remained silent.

The matter of attacking the rebel king was settled, and Shen Lanxi announced the arrangement that she had discussed with Wei Dongzhu before.

The Astronomical Observation Department calculated an auspicious day and we will set out in half a month!

Shen Yuanxu found Shen Lanxi.

"Now that the government is stable and the academy is on track, I still want to follow my brothers to the battlefield."

Shen Lanxi: "Okay, this time you can bring along all the men from the Shen family who are willing to go!"

Shen Yuanxu couldn't suppress his excitement.

"I will bring them back safely."

Shen Lanxi: "Mr. Ruohua will be in charge of Bailu Academy. Please hand over the other matters in your hands as soon as possible and prepare the things you need for the departure!"

Shen Yuanxu was a completely different person, and immediately replied to Shen Lanxi in an excited and powerful voice: "I will obey your command!"

……

After Shen Yuanxu handed over all the affairs in his hands, he immediately got up and returned to the Regent's Palace.

The Shen family has been closed for nearly half a month, and only in the past two days have there been signs of opening the door.

This is because Zhou Ruyuan left the capital.

"Grandma, uncle, father, mother..." Shen Yuanxu called out to everyone and then explained the reason.

"I have resigned from the position of dean of Bailu Academy and returned to the army to serve as the vanguard general."

This sentence was like pouring water into a frying pan, which caused it to explode.

"Yuan Xu, you can't be confused!" Old Madam Shen was the first to object.

The second one is Shen Congwen.

"Yuan Xu, do you know what you are giving up? Bailu Academy is the top academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a place that students all over the world aspire to go to. Now that you have finally become the dean and are respected by students, how can you give up so easily?"

"Do you know what you're giving up?"

"History has always had deans of academies who were either imperial tutors or great scholars. They were teachers of tens of thousands of students, or..." Shen Congwen's hands were shaking with anger.

He couldn't even get the position he wanted, and Shen Yuanxu, this ungrateful guy, actually resigned?
