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

The two of them stayed behind closed doors for an hour, and no one knew what they were talking about. An hour later, Shen Lanxi ordered Wei Dongzhu to be appointed as the Grand Commander of the Northwest, and to set out immediately to guard the Northwest.

As soon as the news came out, everyone's eyes widened.

No one believed that Shen Lanxi just let go like that.

Zhou Ruyuan just let go.

There was no quarrel or noise. Many people who "coincidentally" met Wei Dongzhu coming out of the palace said afterwards that there was no anger on Wei's face and his temperament was very peaceful.

This result caught many people off guard. Just as they were wondering whether Wei Dongzhu was retreating to advance, he had already prepared to set off.

Just left like that? They didn't believe it.

They guessed that it must be Wei's delaying tactic, betting on the emperor's soft heart.

After all, Your Majesty is a woman, and women are always soft-hearted and will make compromises for men.

General Wei has a woman and a child, so what? At most, it's just a concubine and a bastard's child. Who has a high position and power without a concubine?

Furthermore, most of his majesty's kingdom was conquered by Wei Dongzhu. Which man in the world doesn't have the ambition to conquer the world? How could Wei give up his power and go to the barren land in the northwest?

However, they guessed wrong again.

Shen Lanxi not only personally saw Wei Dongzhu off, but also canonized Qiao Niang as Madam Qiao. Although she was not the legal wife, she was considered a concubine with a title, and the child also had the title of a legitimate member of the Wei family.

When seeing her off, Shen Lanxi didn't say much. But after they had walked for a while, Che Mingyuan and his men caught up with them.

"This is what His Majesty asked me to give to you!"

Looking at the familiar box, sadness flashed across Wei Dongzhu's eyes.

He had handed this box to Shen Lanxi twice before, and thought it would remain in her hands for the rest of its life, but he didn't expect it to come back again.

After Che Mingyuan delivered the things, he said some words of farewell as a colleague and left.

"General, let's go!" Qiao Niang stuck her head out of the carriage.

"Father…"

Wei Dongzhu raised his hand, and the group set off again.

After walking for a while, he couldn't help but open the box.

Unexpectedly, what he saw was not the military token of the Wei family army, but a tiger token.

Wei Dongzhu turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital city, raising the corner of his mouth, but it ended up as a bitter smile.

"Pass on this general's order. Speed ​​up and reach the northwest within fifteen days!"

"Yes!"

……

"Your Majesty, the stuff has been delivered." Che Mingyuan returned to the palace to report.

Shen Lanxi was busy dealing with memorials and did not look up.

"Your Majesty, if you really like General Wei, you can get rid of that woman and the child." After all, Wei Dongzhu said in the Golden Palace that day that the reason he wanted that woman was all because of his mother's order, and he had no feelings for her.

Shen Lanxi raised her head, her eyes clear.

Che Mingyuan was stunned, and his mind immediately became clear as if he had received a warning.

Your Majesty, how can you look like a couple forced to separate?

Che Mingyuan was horrified by what he was thinking.

"I only said one sentence to him in the palace that day."

Che Mingyuan listened carefully.

"I told him that if the mother and son continue to stay in the capital, they will die!"

Che Mingyuan's eyes moved twice and his pupils widened.

So it was Wei Dongzhu who chose to save the lives of the mother and son and voluntarily went to the Northwest?

Shen Lanxi stood beside the dragon throne, with her hands behind her back, and said quietly: "I never indulge in love affairs."

Che Mingyuan understood, and at the same time became even more frightened.

He still underestimated their Majesty.

The world has underestimated their Majesty!

With the final push, something like this happened and no one dared to offend Your Majesty again.

Shen Lanxi started to take action against the imperial examination examiners.

"Examiners must not look down on women. They must treat men and women equally!"

"The examiner must be a clean and honest person, and must not have concubines, illegitimate children, or mistresses at home."

"Examiners cannot be involved in scandals or have visited places of entertainment."

"Examiner..."

A series of requirements directly eliminated most of the examiners.

Among those left over from the previous dynasty, which one is clean?

Mei Nanhua, the chief examiner, racked his brains for the examiner staff.

At this time, another registration clerk verbally insulted female students and used despicable means to force the women to obey, otherwise they would not be allowed to pass.

The woman was so ashamed and angry that she hit her head against the pillar at the gate of the yamen and died.

Shen Lanxi was furious and ordered the three courts to investigate the case as quickly as possible. She then ordered people to drag the clerk to the vegetable market and cut him into pieces.

The clerk's family was also found guilty of many crimes, so Shen Lanxi had them all taken to Caishikou and beheaded.

All children under the age of fifteen in the clerks' families were reduced to criminal slaves and exiled to Dongchuan.

The three clans of the clerk were exiled to Dongchuan.

All the property of the clerk's family was added to the national treasury.

The county magistrate of the county government where the clerk worked was dismissed from his post and fined 500 taels of silver for not governing his subordinates strictly.

Don’t have that much money? Then go and get some together, go to work and pay back the debt. Before the hole is filled, your children can’t take the imperial examinations or become officials.

Shen Lanxi's sudden outburst startled the people who were immersed in happiness.

"This family is so pitiful!" His Majesty is so cruel.

"There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Isn't the woman who was killed by the clerk pitiful? It's obvious that he did this a lot."

"Aren't the charges all posted? He accepted bribes of 30,000 taels, exploited the people to the point of killing one, maiming two, and destroying six families. It's simply unjust that he's still alive!"

"Yeah!"

"He collected so much money, but he still spent it on his family. How innocent can his family be?"

"The silk and satin his family wears and the delicacies they eat are all from the people's hard-earned money..."

"Damn it, damn it..."

The people were outraged, and all their attention was focused on the clerk's crime.

Among the people from the Criminal Law Department who were mixed in, some left after finishing their work, while others continued to assist in correcting the situation.

All the officials felt that they were in danger and quietly went to find Che Mingyuan.

"With Tianjin eyeing you covetously, Your Majesty, how can you be so careless about your reputation? What if you are accused of committing murder and Zhou Ruyuan finds evidence against you? That would be terrible."

"Military Advisor Che, you are a person that His Majesty relies on. Come up with a solution quickly so that His Majesty won't have to keep a close eye on the imperial examination."

If Your Majesty continues to focus on the imperial examination, they will feel like they are being watched all the time.

too frightening.

Che Mingyuan was also worried, but he was not worried about the same things that all the officials were worried about.

"Just let me think about it."

It happened that students from Qinglan Academy passed by. Che Mingyuan looked at their tall figures silently leaving with the scroll in their arms, and a strange light shone in his eyes.

Since Your Majesty has chosen to be the ruler of a country, you must act like a ruler.

……

After dealing with the memorials, Shen Lanxi planned to go out for some fresh air.

As soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw Cheng Zheng and Sang Guo walking towards me.

"What's wrong with you?"

The two of them shook their heads a little stiffly, then pointed at the book in their hands, and then each took out a pen and paper and started writing.
