Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers
Chapter 581: Send Huang Yu to suppress the bandits alone!Because of Shen Lanxi's iron-blooded operation, no one in the Shen family mentioned the adoption again.
Also because of this shock, the third room did not dare to mention letting Shen Yuanhao remarry.
After a drunken bout, Shen Yuanhao felt ashamed to face his family, so he left a letter and secretly returned to the base.
When Zhou Xinrou heard the news of Zhou Ruyuan's dismissal, she had a new plan in mind.
Soon Shen Lanxi received a letter from home recommending Huang Yu, asking her to cultivate Huang Yu into a confidant.
"Your Majesty, before and after Huang Yu won the martial arts exam and took office as a guard of the capital, he did make friends with many dignitaries and their families in the capital. Recently, for some reason, he has become more restrained and only occasionally invites colleagues to drink tea. Most of the time, they are just at tea stalls. After drinking a few cups of tea, they disperse."
"Could it be that she noticed it?"
The secret guards never understood why His Majesty asked them to monitor this person. Did he want to use him in an important position, or was he suspicious of this person?
"In the past month, she has come into contact with a total of 360 people, 225 of whom are Beijing guards and familiar people, and the rest are prisoners or suspects' family members encountered during the investigation."
Shen Lanxi listened quietly.
"So far, she has not been seen in contact with anyone suspicious. We have also secretly sent people to investigate those who have had contact with her, and there is no problem."
Shen Lanxi: "What is her prestige among the Beijing Guards?"
Secret Guard: "Very high prestige!"
"What do you think is the reason why she has such prestige?"
The secret guard guessed: "Perhaps it's because she won the first place in the martial arts exam as a woman."
"Wrong, this person is good at making friends!" Shen Lanxi corrected.
The secret guards are not strategists, but those who can think of these things are already the best among the secret guards.
Shen Lanxi: "Keep staring at her."
Secret Guard: "Still strict?"
"Correct!"
Although it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, fortunately this is what she has the most right now.
When the Shen family sent the second letter, Shen Lanxi assigned Huang Yu a task.
"Today, news came from the Panyun Mountain area that it is a remote place with few people, so it has bred bandits. Mother recommended you to me. Go and destroy the bandits, and when you come back, you will be the deputy commander of the Beijing Guards!"
Huang Yu said excitedly: "I accept your order and thank you!"
The time has finally come to show my abilities. It is so difficult to achieve merit in such a peaceful and prosperous time.
There is a saying that goes "A blacksmith must be strong himself"; although she has made a lot of connections, they are all empty.
Only when she is in a high position and holds power, will those connections provide her with strength.
If she continues to be a small follower in the Beijing Guards like she is now, her connections will sooner or later become cold.
"Panyun Mountain is the border of our great country and the place where we meet foreign tribes. I plan to build a trade route there so that we can trade with neighboring countries for mutual benefit. If we can wipe out the bandits as soon as possible, it will be a good thing for both the country and the people."
It is also a great achievement.
Huang Yu understands!
Without further ado, Huang Yu decided to set off quickly.
Just~
Did Shen Lanxi forget something?
"Your Majesty, how many troops should I bring with me?"
It would be best to hand over the City Defense Battalion to her. The City Defense Battalion was trained by Wei Dongzhu himself. I think many people would be resentful of Shen Lanxi for turning against her and driving Wei Dongzhu to the northwest.
"Troops?" Shen Lanxi chuckled.
"Now all the troops in the capital have been concentrated in Tianjin. The remaining troops are here to protect the imperial city and my personal soldiers. How many troops do you want from me?"
Huang Yu quickly lowered his head.
Shen Lanxi actually didn't want to give her a single soldier and let her go alone to wipe out the bandits?
Did she want her to die?
"How about I hand over all these royal guards guarding the imperial city to you!" Shen Lanxi said.
Huang Yu immediately said, "Your Majesty, no need!"
"I can wipe out Pan Yunshan's bandits single-handedly."
Shen Lanxi said calmly: "Huang Yu, are you bragging?"
"I dare not. If I act alone, no one will notice me."
"This is my plan. We will first explore the area, find out where the bandits' lair is, and how many people they have. Then we will defeat them one by one."
Shen Lanxi did it on purpose. If she insisted on asking for troops, she would definitely be accused of disregarding the safety of the emperor.
Why is she targeting her so much?
"That's fine. If you can take down the bandits by yourself and appeal to Pan Yunshan, I will then appoint you as the deputy commander of the Beijing Guards. No one will dare to oppose me!"
Huang Yu's eyes moved slightly.
"Mother sent letters to me time and again, asking me to promote you."
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!"
"When I promoted these blood relatives of the Shen family, I still wanted them to make achievements so as to shut up the court officials, not to mention you, my mother's goddaughter, don't you think so?"
Jaune understood.
Shen Lanxi targeted her, yes.
But this is also an opportunity.
If she could appeal to Pan Yunshan, she would not only be able to shut up the court officials, but also Shen Lanxi.
She must have been irritated by her mother's constant urging to overstep her authority, and she would definitely give Zhou Xinrou a good beating when she returned.
Don't take the initiative to disrupt her plans every time.
"Go down. If there are too many bandits, you can ask for help from the surrounding garrisons!"
Huang Yu: "Yes!"
It is impossible to ask for help, and once you ask for help, the credit will be shared.
She wants to enjoy the credit for this time alone!
……
A letter came from Tianjin.
After reading it, Shen Lanxi wrote back.
"What a pity, I have no chance to see such a wonderful competition!"
Che Mingyuan started to drag Zhou Ruyuan's family out to negotiate with Zhou Ruyuan again.
What will Zhou Ruyuan choose?
Blood-related relatives, or rights?
Soon the Tianjin Express reported this exciting match.
"Not only did Zhou Ruyuan not acknowledge the woman and the child, he even disdained his own mother's belongings. This is simply disobedient and unfilial!"
Shen Lanxi didn't expect that Che Mingyuan would actually move out the spirit tablet of Concubine Shu.
"Military Advisor Che, you are truly a talent!"
Wu Yanzhi: "Your Majesty, I feel that we should separate a separate bulletin from the Express News to specifically talk about the affair between the heir of Caolu and Zhou Qiwu's mother and daughter!"
There were discussions in the court.
Shen Lanxi glanced at Wu Yanzhi calmly. Wu Yanzhi had been making small moves in private recently. Did he really think she was deaf and blind and knew nothing?
"What do you think, sir?"
Liu Yan replied: "I think it is feasible. The income from the express report last year is equivalent to the agricultural tax in the first quarter of previous years. However, I think this express report can only be used temporarily. After the traitors are killed, it should be stopped."
"Old Master, what do you think?"
Mei Nanhua considered it and said, "I think what Minister Liu said is very true. The Great Zhou Dynasty does not need too many voices."
Most of the voices in the express news are positive and encouraging, and the Great Zhou Dynasty only needs this kind of voice.
Shen Lanxi: "Then it is approved. Prime Minister Wu will be fully responsible for this matter!"
