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

"I have already made arrangements for this matter. I will discuss it with the Imperial Master later and will announce it after the results are reached."

The officials were somewhat disappointed. Now that the four seas of the country were peaceful and prosperous, they became somewhat arrogant, and the number of officials advocating war was increasing day by day.

After the court session ended, Shen Lanxi left Liu Mingxin alone.

"Your daughter has unique insights into the management of people's livelihood. I also want her to go to Dongchuan, but Dongchuan is a bitter and cold place after all, so I asked you to go back and discuss it."

Liu Mingxin did hesitate for a long time. If he were a man, he would definitely be happy to support his son to go to Dongchuan.

If it were his daughter, he would be worried and no one would know.

Shen Lanxi: "Tianjin is on the way to Dongchuan. I see that your daughter is as courageous as a man, so I have secretly assigned her to do something."

Liu Mingxin's eyes immediately became serious.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders. As long as it is for the Great Zhou, I and my daughter will not hesitate to die!"

Shen Lanxi handed a parchment scroll to Liu Mingxin.

"Look at this parchment scroll after you go back. No one other than you and your daughter can see it!"

Liu Mingxin suddenly felt heavy-hearted, and immediately said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I obey your order!"

After Shen Lanxi saw Liu Mingxin off, she wrote two letters and had them delivered by eagle mail.

One letter was to Feng Wu and the other was to Che Mingyuan.

Soon Che Mingyuan's reply arrived, and Zhou Ruyuan's words were vague, suggesting an exchange of ideas.

Only three days later, she received another letter from Che Mingyuan, saying that they had encountered an assassination attempt. Fortunately, they escaped unharmed. Apart from the death of one escorted woman and several others who were injured, there was no major loss.

The letter also stated clearly that the assassin was targeting the people in Zhou Ruyu's backyard.

Is there anyone who doesn't want to exchange hostages? And they are from Tianjin.

It seems that Zhou Ruyuan is not on the same page with some people.

After all, Zhou Qiwu and Yuan Lang have that kind of relationship, but now Yuan Lang has joined Zhou Ruyuan?

I don’t know whether Zhou Ruyuan knows about the relationship between Yuan Lang and Zhou Qiwu.

This relationship may be exploited.

Shen Lanxi immediately wrote back to Che Mingyuan, explaining the relationship.

It depends on whether Che Mingyuan will take advantage of it and how he will take advantage of it.

……

The Beijing Guards discovered unusual movements during their patrol and killed six spies on the spot.

Shen Lanxi saw Huang Yu's name on the list of meritorious service. She killed five spies by herself, which was an outstanding achievement.

"Your Majesty, my wife attended the Shen family's family recognition banquet before, and Huang Yu's performance that day was remarkable." Liu Yanhui was not pleading for Huang Yu, but telling him what he knew.

Shen Lanxi: "Your wife thinks highly of Huang Yu."

Liu Yanhui was afraid that Shen Lanxi would misunderstand, so he immediately said, "I have already warned my wife. She just saw that Huang Yu was not afraid of power and protected women at the family recognition banquet, so she had some good feelings towards Huang Yu."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Why did I hear that Huang Yu and your wife are quite close?"

Liu Yanhui was so anxious that he was sweating. He was not aware of this matter.

"I only know that when the family reunion banquet was over, my wife took a box of cakes home. It was said that it was a return gift from the Shen family that day. I also asked carefully, and they had no social interaction before."

Shen Lanxi tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and after three breaths, she spoke.

"You are a minister whom I rely on. You must always be on guard against those who may approach you with ulterior motives."

Liu Yanhui's eyes flashed with regret.

"I understand. When I get home, I will punish my family members and will never let them make any mistakes."

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just reminding you. I heard that your wife gave birth to a baby boy. I was so busy with the imperial examination that I forgot about it."

"Here is a pearl that I opened from a thousand-year-old clam. I'll give it to you as a gift!"

Chunxue brought the gift, which contained a pearl that was slightly larger than a goose egg and rounder than a pomegranate.

Even Liu Yanhui, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, had never seen such a big bead. It was truly a huge treasure.

"Your Majesty, it is too precious. You must not do that."

Shen Lanxi: "Just take it if I give it to you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The familiar tone made Liu Yanhui no longer refuse.

"On behalf of my son, I would like to thank Your Majesty."

Shen Lanxi: "I received a letter from Yuan Jun two days ago. He wanted your sister to return to Beijing to give birth. What do you think?"

Liu Yanhui is now a man with a wife and children. He took care of his wife when she was pregnant.

"I feel that the journey is difficult and dangerous, and my sister is weak and not suitable for long-distance travel. It would be better for her to wait for the birth at the garrison."

Shen Lanxi immediately pushed the matter of replying to him.

"You can write a letter to your sister to reply. If I reply to reject her, it will seem unkind. As a brother, you are worried about your sister and scold your brother-in-law. They will definitely bear it obediently."

Liu Yanhui immediately obeyed the order. He returned home with the beads in his hands, closed the door, and looked at the beads quietly.

Until his wife came and asked him to have dinner.

"Ma'am, are you familiar with Huang Yu?"

Liu Yanhui's wife was stunned for a moment, then he explained, "We met by chance a few times and were able to talk a few words."

The two have been married for several years, and Liu Yanhui knows his wife's temper. She is not a talkative person, but now she can talk to others, which is considered strange.

"Huang Yu is a scheming person and should not be made a close friend!" Liu Yanhui reminded.

His wife's reply was somewhat perfunctory.

"My dear, I understand. Let's go eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon!"

……

Huang Yuguan was promoted to a higher rank. After the imperial edict came down, the Beijing Guard House immediately issued the corresponding badge.

Because of Zhou Xinrou's identity as an adopted daughter, and her courage to kill and fight, and her disregard for trivial matters, she soon became mingled with the Beijing guards.

The news of the promotion was passed back to the Shen Mansion, and along with this news, there was also news that Huang Yu was going to host a banquet for the Beijing guards.

Now that Zhou Xinrou is the head of the family, it is natural that she will be in charge of arranging the banquet.

The women of the Shen family did nothing for most of the day and just watched the busy preparations in the mansion.

"Isn't it just a promotion? He's still a Beijing guard who has to patrol every day. What's so great about that?"

"If you don't know, you might think we're having another wedding banquet. We've been preparing since this morning, and it's even busier than our grandmother's birthday banquet."

"An adopted daughter is not a biological daughter. Even if a biological daughter has done meritorious service, there has never been such preparation."

"You can't say that." If you say that, you will be trying to sow discord between Shen Lanxi and Zhou Xinrou, mother and daughter. To put it in a serious way, you may be beheaded.

"Have you heard that everyone in the Zhennan Palace is missing?"

"I heard it said, don't spread it around."

"Could it be that he was..." The person who spoke made a gesture of wiping his neck, which scared the girls enough.

"No way?"

"Why not? Hasn't he been stripped of his position and accused of his crimes before?"

"Stop talking, Shen Yuantang is here!"

When the women in the room saw Shen Yuantang coming, they immediately quieted down.
