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

After Concubine Shu fainted in the Yangxin Palace, people in the harem and the former dynasty saw the wind direction and knew that Concubine Shu was going to fall out of favor.

Your Majesty more or less believed that Prince Zhennan had rebelled. Even if it was later confirmed that Prince Zhennan was fine, given Your Majesty's character, it would be difficult for him to allow Zhou Ruyuan to inherit the throne.

But now, Your Majesty only has a few incompetent princes left, and none of them looks like a wise leader.

Who should they support?

As soon as Shen Lanxi returned to the palace, she received a report from the secret guard.

"A palace maid tried to approach Song Daoxi."

Shen Lanxi: "Have you found out who it is?"

Secret Guard: "There's news from the Regent Palace that the son of the kitchen maid Wang Mama met someone in the teahouse today, and then the person in the teahouse contacted a laundry slave in the palace through the palace's purchasing agent, and then the laundry slave used some trickery to find a new palace maid."

The secret guard told Shen Lanxi the contact information and the people he had contacted in detail.

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and said, "Don't touch these two people for now. We have screened the people in the palace several times, but we didn't find this criminal slave. He must have been hiding very deeply before."

All those hidden so deeply have been used. I guess there are not many people left in the palace.

"I know what that maid is going to do. Tell Song Daoxi that the gift delivered to his door should be considered as a reward for him. As long as he is obedient and does not leave the palace, I can save his life!"

Secret guard: "Yes."

Shen Lanxi sneered silently. Her good mother couldn't wait for her to leave the capital.

Before leaving, there was a family dinner at the Shen family.

"Grandmother, Lan Xi has gone to the southwest and I don't know when she will be back. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the mansion."

Ever since Emperor Renxiao recovered, Old Madam Shen has been unable to eat or sleep. She always dreams at night that someone comes to confiscate her house again.

"Lan Xi, will His Majesty take action against our Shen family..." The word "take action" was too heavy to say on a day like this. Old Madam Shen was afraid that her granddaughter would be discouraged before leaving, so she didn't say it.

Shen Lanxi said firmly: "As long as our family does not rebel and kill the king, His Majesty will not do anything to us."

The old lady quickly waved her hands: "No, no, how could that be? We are all honest people in our family and just want to live a comfortable life." What rebellion? Such words are really scary. Even if she was given a hundred courage, she would not dare to think about it.

Shen Lanxi gave her family a reassurance.

"Yuan Jing is in charge of the army in the northwest, Wei Dongzhu and Shen Yuanxu are in Qianzhou and Shu, and most of the imperial army is in our hands..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Congwen.

"Be careful with your words. How can you say that?" If they are not careful, their family will be accused of having their own army and being self-centered.

Shen Lanxi wants to take all the power, but she doesn't want to implicate the Shen family.

"Father didn't allow me to say it, that's what he meant. But I have to say it in advance. During my absence, the evil spirits in the capital will definitely come out to stir up trouble. We need to keep a low profile and not let anyone catch us. Otherwise, I will be in the southwest and can't quench my thirst!"

There is no need to explain this in detail, everyone in the Shen family understands it.

"Lan Xi, after you leave, we will live our lives behind closed doors!" Don't think that she knows nothing because she has been living in the deep mansion. The master said that Lan Xi is in the limelight, and there must be many people who want to find fault with them, bring Lan Xi down, and make the Shen family die without a burial place.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "With my grandmother taking care of the Shen family, I feel much more at ease!"

The next day was the day of departure.

Before leaving, she went to see her mother specially.

"Mother, Lan Xi is gone!"

Zhou Xinrou's face was full of worry: "You should be careful when you are out there."

Shen Lanxi: "My daughter will, and so will my mother."

Zhou Xinrou: "Go ahead, don't waste time."

Shen Lanxi bowed deeply, turned around and left.

After leaving the city, they could already see daylight. Shen Lanxi glanced in the direction of the capital, and led a thousand soldiers, urging their horses to rush into the morning light.

After she left, the countless prying eyes on the city wall quickly fled in all directions.

Shen Lanxi is gone, she is finally gone!

Today, many officials in the mansions are so happy that they want to dance and drink to celebrate when they wake up in the morning.

"Now that His Majesty is handling state affairs personally, it would be better for Shen Lanxi to die outside, rather than return to the capital and see that there is no place for her to stand in the capital anymore, and feel ashamed!"

"It would be best if Shen Lanxi died in the southwest. As a woman, she should be annihilated among all living beings. All the laws she modified before must be revised back."

"Marriage and relocation, express reports, women taking the imperial and military examinations, they are all evils and must be abolished!"

"Shen Lanxi is simply disrupting the foundation of our Great Zhou. Today, I will definitely report her for her crime of disregarding the law, modifying the law according to her own likes and dislikes, arbitrarily framing court officials, and subverting the etiquette and laws of our Great Zhou."

At the morning court session, memorials impeaching Shen Lanxi flew onto Emperor Renxiao's desk like snowflakes.

"Your Majesty, during the period when Shen Lanxi was handling state affairs in the Ming Dynasty, she acted recklessly and disregarded the court. She wantonly killed people, placed her cronies in positions of power, and controlled the court. I beg Your Majesty to punish Shen Lanxi!" Chen Qing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, spoke angrily with a passion in his heart.

Emperor Renxiao had a blank expression on his face and asked coldly: "Do you have any real evidence?" On the right hand side of Emperor Renxiao was Wang Bao, on the left hand side was Che Mingyuan, and behind the screen were the think tanks of Qinglan Academy.

It is still Shen Lanxi's original team.

Liu Mingxin raised his head and looked at Emperor Renxiao's left and right, then looked at Chen Qing whose face was filled with indignation. He sighed and shook his head silently.

Some people just can't see the situation clearly, and they bring trouble upon themselves!

Chen Qing: "Yes, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites just reported Shen Lanxi for arbitrarily changing the law and violating the ancestral system. She ordered the imperial guards to take off the doctor's hat and feathers, strip him of his official uniform, deprive him of his official position, put him in a cage, and parade him through the streets!"

"To the point that the doctor of the Ministry of Rites committed suicide out of shame and anger, hitting his head against a pillar and dying. She was so cruel and vicious that she took human life lightly!"

Emperor Renxiao took the memorial from Wang Bao calmly and then handed it back to Wang Bao.

"Read!"

Wang Bao read aloud: "Zhang Yi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, accepted bribes, leaked the imperial examination papers, condoned his family members to commit crimes, occupied hundreds of acres of land and houses of the people, and redeemed his crime of military law. He should have been executed along with his entire family. Now that the Great Zhou is in need of talents, he shall be exiled to the northwest for three generations as slaves."

Chen Qing's face turned pale. Why didn't Shen Lanxi tell you this before?

Che Mingyuan: "If Lord Chen doesn't believe it, you can go to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to check. Both places have detailed files!"

Chen Qing's heart sank and he immediately winked at the other officials.

"Your Majesty, it is true that Shen Lanxi attempted to overthrow our Great Zhou. How can a woman take the imperial examination? It is simply disrupting the foundation of our Great Zhou."

Emperor Renxiao: "Don't you have a daughter at home?"

The court officials who filed the lawsuit never expected that His Majesty would actually speak up for Shen Lanxi. This is no longer helping, this is biased.

How could Your Majesty be so foolish? If a woman were to enter the court, where would the dignity of the Great Zhou be? Where would the solemnity of the court be?

Won't the men be suppressed by the women in the future?
