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

He hadn't even settled the score with Bai Qingling yet, and yet Bai Qingling was about to be burned to death?

"Your Highness, everything the princess did was for you. You can't just watch her burn to death!" Jiang Wuya pleaded for Bai Qingling.

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were cold and he said nothing.

"Your Highness, the princess did this because she saw that you were indecisive, so she chose to be the bad guy. Please, Your Highness, save her because she is so sincere and only considers you!" Jiang Wuya pleaded again and again.

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes flickered, and he sighed helplessly, "Now we have changed from the Southwest Army to the Southwest Rebel Army. Bai Qingling has implicated me to this point, what else can I do?"

Jiang Wuya: "Your Majesty, why don't we take this opportunity to rebel!"

Zhou Ruyuan remained silent.

"Your Highness needs to make plans as soon as possible. Shen Lanxi brought an army of 400,000 and subdued the people left behind in our camp. Once she resolves the dispute with the foreign tribes, the first thing she will do is capture us." Jiang Wuya urged.

Zhou Ruyuan was also forced by the situation and finally gave in.

"We can't stay in the southwest anymore."

Jiang Wuya: "Your Majesty, why don't we go to Tianjin?"

The first person Zhou Ruyuan thought of was Dongchuan, followed by Zhou Qiwu.

"You want me to go to my third aunt?"

Jiang Wuya analyzed seriously, "The Third Princess' husband's family is very powerful in Tianjin, and her son-in-law is in charge of Tianjin's maritime navy. Tianjin is an important place leading to Dongchuan. If we can gain a foothold in Tianjin, we can slowly take over Dongchuan!"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Okay, pass the order down immediately and move the camp to Tianjin."

"Yes!"

Jiang Wuya didn't mention Bai Qingling again, and neither did Zhou Ruyuan. It was as if the two of them had tacitly forgotten about this person.

After a night, at daybreak, Zhou Ruyuan and his former Southwestern Army had already set out for Tianjin.

……

Shen Lanxi waited and waited, but did not see Zhou Ruyuan.

"Bai Qingling, did you see that? This is the man you tried so hard to get using all means!" Shen Lanxi's face was full of sarcasm.

Bai Qingling was locked in the prison van and refused to acknowledge Shen Lanxi's words.

"The prince will definitely come to save me, Shen Lanxi, you are the traitor!"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "No matter what you say, it's useless. No one will believe what a dying person says!"

Bai Qingling seemed to be possessed by a demon. She looked at Shen Lanxi's direction with resentment and kept repeating in her heart, "The prince will definitely come to save me."

"Lord Regent, the wolf tribe's escorts are here."

Shen Lanxi: "Let's go!"

Today, she not only has to send Bai Qingling over, but also has to bring forty envoys back to Da Zhou.

Two hours later, Shen Lanxi arrived at the agreed location.

The forty envoys, apart from looking a little thinner, all stood there waiting in a state of exhaustion.

Shen Lanxi raised her voice: "Today, I, Shen Lanxi, have come to take the envoy of the Great Zhou back home!"

Some of the forty envoys had tears in their eyes, some had red eyes, and some hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After the handover, Shen Lanxi went to talk to the southwestern tribes.

"If you haven't figured it out, you can keep thinking about it."

"After I return to the capital, I will send someone here to contact you."

The people from the southwestern tribes have not been idle in the past few days. In addition to gathering information from the outside world, they also got a lot of information about Shen Lanxi from the envoys.

For example, Shen Lanxi exchanged a lot of high-yield grain varieties with the Yue Kingdom, and in less than a year, all the people of the Great Zhou had enough food to eat.

For example, Shen Lanxi opened a factory, providing many ordinary people with a place to work and earn money.

For example, Shen Lanxi opened a women's college, a medical school, and revised the law... All these things strengthened the Great Zhou, enriched the people, and made all the people of the Great Zhou sing praises to her.

The scenes described by the envoys were so beautiful that many foreign leaders were yearning for it.

But Shen Lanxi said that they could wait a little longer. They wanted to investigate it more carefully to see if it was really as the envoys said, so Meng Xiangka made a request to Shen Lanxi.

"When the Great Zhou sent envoys here before, our tribe was not ready. Now that the envoys from the Great Zhou have come to our tribe, we also want to send people to the Great Zhou to take a look."

I thought Shen Lanxi would hesitate for a while, but I didn't expect her to agree directly.

"Yes, there are still many things in the court that I need to preside over. I will return to the capital tomorrow. You should quickly select the people who will go to the capital."

Meng Xiangka's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

That afternoon, twenty people, consisting of ten men and ten women, were brought to Shen Lanxi.

They are all young men and women. The men are strong and the women are heroic.

After Shen Lanxi received the people, news came from outsiders.

"Bai Qingling is dead. She was burned to death."

Shen Lanxi nodded: "Send the message out."

"Yes!"

Three days later, the news that Bai Qingling had been executed was printed in the express newspaper and sent to various places.

Shen Lanxi is already on her way back to Beijing.

When they were almost at the foot of the capital, the guards protecting Shen Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not because they were about to arrive in the capital, but because someone came to welcome Shen Lanxi.

"I am here to welcome the return of the Regent!" Wei Dongzhu, exhausted, knelt on one knee to salute.

Shen Lanxi chuckled and helped Wei Dongzhu up.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The worry in Wei Dongzhu's eyes had not yet dissipated, and his eyes were filled with unmelted tenderness.

"You are the one." He went to Shu with a large army, but she went to the southwest with only a small number of people. Her life was more dangerous and more difficult than his.

Shen Lanxi looked towards the capital, and her demeanor suddenly changed: "Return to Beijing!"

"Yes!"

The guards all breathed a sigh of relief and followed. God knows they had never felt at ease since they went to the southwest, stayed in the southwest, and then left the southwest to return to the capital.

Four hundred thousand troops? They still don't understand why this lie has not been exposed until now.

As soon as Shen Lanxi stepped into the capital, the death knell was heard from the direction of the palace gate.

Emperor Renxiao died.

Shen Lanxi quickened her pace and ran towards the palace.

The sound of the funeral knell was heard throughout the capital, and only the emperor, empress and queen mother had the authority to sound the funeral knell in the palace.

The Queen Mother died long ago and the Queen was deposed long ago.

Realizing that Emperor Renxiao was dead, all the officials hurriedly dressed and entered the palace, where they met Shen Lanxi at the palace gate.

"The Prince Regent has returned to the capital."

Shen Lanxi: "My Lords."

"In the palace?" All the officials were worried.

Shen Lanxi: "I just returned to the capital, I don't know."

The palace gate opened and the commander of the imperial guards came to report.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has passed away!"

Shen Lanxi's face was filled with grief and disbelief.

"Your Majesty is well now, isn't he? How could this happen?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards told the truth: "Since Your Majesty learned of the rebellion of the Prince of Zhennan, he has been devastated and unable to sleep or eat, which has triggered his old illness, so..."

Shen Lanxi clenched her fists in anger.

"The Prince of Zhennan is a traitor who killed your majesty. I will never forgive him!"
