Chapter 597: The Turkic envoy has arrived!
Could it be that he wanted her to attack Zhou Ruyuan?
If you think about it, you can understand that although there are many female officials in the court, she is the only one who won the title of martial arts champion. She is also the only one who has been reused in the suppression of bandits.
Although those female guards had been with Shen Lanxi for a long time, Shen Lanxi would not use them because of their mediocre qualifications.
If she wanted to secure her position as empress, she could only promote more female generals.
Her appearance happened to solve this problem for Shen Lanxi.
Thinking of this, Huang Yu's eyes became firmer.
She will become the second female general to be named general after Shen Lanxi.
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I will definitely reward you handsomely when I return to the capital!"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch turned around and left.
Soon Zhou Xinrou also got the news and immediately threw the teacup to the ground in anger.
"idiot."
"Princess, the imperial decree has been issued. Can it be changed?"
Zhou Xinrou took a few deep breaths, calmed down and thought carefully. Even if she called Huang Yu back to the capital, she was afraid that Huang Yu would still hate her.
"Wait a few more days and see if Huang Yu will write to you."
"yes!"
A few days later, Huang Yu did write to her, but instead of explaining to her, he asked her for help.
"Princess, the young master said that you don't have to worry about her." Seeing that Zhou Xinrou looked unhappy, the nanny hurriedly tried to persuade her.
Zhou Xinrou was so angry that her fingernails were about to break.
"She keeps asking me for help. Does she think those people are so easy to keep?"
Except for the secret guards used to facilitate operations, the rest were deployed into various armies.
Half of her secret guards were killed in the southwest before, and later they lost more than half of them in several consecutive rescue missions against Huang Yu. There were only a few of those who had always followed her left.
Those who are hiding in the dark to protect her were all recruited from other places.
Where are the available hands?
"Won't she ask the court for it?"
Mammy looked embarrassed.
Is there any need to ask? It must be that the court did not assign anyone to her.
"Princess, the life of the young master is the most important." If we don't send troops over, if they encounter danger later and then ask for help, I'm afraid it will be a big mistake.
Zhou Xinrou was angry but helpless.
"She is now able to command some people, so let her recruit some people on her own."
Nanny: "The young master is young and energetic, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this matter well. Why don't we send someone over as a guard first. It's always more reliable to use our own people than to use others."
That being said, the people around her really can't move.
"Mammy, contact them and ask them to send someone over."
Seeing that the princess had made up her mind, the nanny had no choice but to obey.
It was a clear and sunny day, and Shen Lanxi received good news.
The seventh brother has escaped.
This news made her happier than regaining the land.
The letter mentioned that although the seventh brother had escaped from the predicament, he would not come to the capital, and said that he would send her a big gift in the future.
She was moved but also worried.
She immediately wrote to the fifth brother, saying that since the seventh brother was out of trouble, the fifth brother would definitely return to Beijing. She already had many people guarding her, and since the seventh brother wanted to do something, how could he do it without security?
It’s better to let the fifth brother stay with the seventh brother for the time being and protect him!
The sales of Express News have been declining recently, all because nothing major has happened recently.
Just when the Ministry of Revenue was worried about this, news came from Tianjin again that Zhou Ruyuan's family had been assassinated again, with three dead and five injured.
On the same day, Song Daoxi gave his analysis in the court.
"They must be people sent by Tianjin. They want Zhou Ruyuan to break off relations with the imperial court."
"The most likely people are the Third Princess and Wang Xiangyi. Once Zhou Ruyuan falls out with the court, these two will benefit the most."
All officials were confused.
"Could it be someone else?"
Song Daoxi said with certainty: "It is very unlikely. How can Zhou Qiwu and Wang Xiangyi tolerate Zhou Ruyuan's offspring in the hands of our court?"
"If my guess is correct, they will definitely act again until all of Zhou Ruyuan's descendants are killed."
All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
Women are indeed very jealous.
If all of Zhou Ruyuan's descendants were killed, Zhou Ruyuan would have no reason to hesitate.
Tianjin wants to force Zhou Ruyuan to go to war with the imperial court!
The express news came out the next day and the news soon spread to Tianjin.
Zhou Ruyuan looked at the message above, his eyes turned red with anger.
"I have already told them not to do it, why didn't they listen?"
Yuan Lang felt that this matter was strange.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Third Princess and the Queen have not sent anyone out recently."
"What's the meaning?"
Yuan Lang analyzed with a serious look: "I'm afraid it was someone else who did it."
Zhou Ruyuan thought about what was going on and wondered who else would take action except their mother.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone wants to force you to use troops!"
Zhou Ruyuan immediately thought of someone. Recently, many people had been asking him to send troops to attack, either openly or secretly, and they were assisting him from the side. He knew very well what those people were planning.
He did use his offspring as an excuse to repeatedly delay sending troops.
Now that those descendants have been in trouble, there is no reason to delay any longer.
Apart from him, anyone who came to seek refuge could be a possibility.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Zhou Ruyuan: "The imperial court is now strong and powerful, and now is not the best time to hire mercenaries."
That's what I said.
"Your Majesty, I have often seen the soldiers in low spirits recently. I think they are also trying to confront the court. I believe in my heart that we are no match for the court."
"If this continues, we will be destroyed before the war even starts."
"We must inspire the soldiers."
And starting a war is undoubtedly the best way.
"You go down first, and let me think about it carefully."
Seeing that Zhou Ruyuan was still hesitating, Yuan Lang sighed helplessly and left.
A piece of express news once again boosted the morale of the people in the capital.
After the Turkic delegation arrived in Beijing, they saw the people gathered together to discuss things with great energy.
…
The Turks who came this time were the Kangzhou governor and Kangzhou commander-in-chief, Murikui, and his subordinate officials.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou."
All the officials focused their attention on the knees of Mulikui and his companions.
They didn't even salute when they saw their Majesty. Do the Turks want to go to war with the Great Zhou again?
Shen Lanxi said expressionlessly: "What rank is the governor in Turkic?"
Mulikui was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Lanxi to ask this.
"A third-rank official position."
Shen Lanxi looked down at him and said, "You are just a third-rank official. How dare you not kneel when you come to pay homage to me?"
Mulikui's face darkened, and he said in a loud voice: "I am not an official of your Great Zhou, so I don't have to kneel before your emperor."
Shen Lanxi sneered: "Even if your Khan came, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like this."
Seeing that Shen Lanxi had no scruples and attacked directly, Mulikui's eyes flashed and he lost his previous arrogance when he spoke.
