Chapter 661: Shen Lanxi’s real origin is an abandoned baby!
Shen Lanxi looked at the snow outside without saying a word, until someone came to deliver official documents.
"Tell the Shen family to give him a grand burial!"
It would be ironic if such a large harem could not even provide a place for a woman to live.
The Shen family originally wanted to do it quietly, but they didn't expect someone to come from the palace.
"Have you sent someone to deliver the message to the palace?" Shen Conglian asked Liu.
Liu shook her head: "How can Wu, the daughter of a guilty minister, trouble Your Majesty?"
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
Liu said angrily: "He must be someone who is jealous of our Yuanxu!"
Who else could it be in this family except the third wife?
Another year passed, and still no good news came from the palace.
The Shen family began to secretly rejoice again.
Your Majesty is getting older every year, and the best years for a woman have long passed. Your Majesty still has no children. Isn't it urgent?
Could it be that Your Majesty is infertile?
She is getting older every year. Even if she could give birth, she would be too old to do so.
If it were in the past, the ministers in the court would definitely start urging His Majesty to have an heir, and they might even find the Queen Mother to put pressure on His Majesty.
Now~
The court was already full of confidants cultivated by Shen Lanxi. They firmly believed that His Majesty was wise and intelligent, and had a plan in mind. No one wasted time urging him to have an heir.
Another two years passed, and on the first day of the new year, the news of Guiguzi's successor quietly spread throughout the capital.
The situation had intensified by the second day. The officials were supposed to start their duties after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but on the second day of the new year, the Golden Palace was already filled with officials.
"Your Majesty, I speculate that this is most likely a rumor deliberately spread by the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow your orders and investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Your Majesty, if the remnants of the previous dynasty are not eliminated, our Great Zhou will not be able to stabilize. Your Majesty is merciful and has not punished the descendants of the Zhou family in the remote fiefdoms, but your majesty's mercy has been regarded as tolerance towards them."
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to wipe out all the Zhous from the previous dynasty and make an example of them!"
Unlike the officials who were full of murderous intent, Shen Lanxi watched the officials quarreling with a smile as if she was watching a play.
"Is this the reason why you woke me up from the New Year's Day?"
All the officials were stunned. Why did His Majesty act as if it was not a serious matter at all?
The descendant of Guiguzi has reappeared, the world is in chaos, and a wise leader has appeared. This rumor was not spread yesterday.
Now that the descendant of Guiguzi has appeared again, it is obvious that someone is trying to stir up trouble again.
Shen Lanxi: "My dear ministers, please be patient. I ask myself, am I worthy of the heavens above and the people below? Even if I feel guilty towards everyone, I feel guilty towards the people of the world."
"The world will be in chaos only when the people are in chaos. Now, the people of the world are stable and living a good life. Who would want to start a war again?"
All the officials nodded, but refused to relax against the rumors.
"Your Majesty, the thief behind the scenes dares not show up and only dares to spread rumors. How hateful!"
Shen Lanxi: "Can the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Justice conduct a detailed investigation together?"
nature!
But from the tone of his voice, it seems that Your Majesty doesn't take it seriously.
The news of the reappearance of Guigu's descendant had not yet spread, and Zhou Xinrou took advantage of the post-New Year ancestor worship and the emperor's absence from the palace to suddenly send troops to occupy the imperial city.
And released news that no one could believe.
Shen Lanxi is not of royal blood. After she gave birth to a child of true royal blood, she ordered someone to bring a baby back from the orphanage and exchange the baby with her own child.
Shen Lanxi was born as an abandoned baby without a father or a mother!
Zhou Xinrou occupied the imperial palace, while Huang Yu took his men to the mansions of officials and captured all their families and brought them into the imperial city.
By the time Shen Lanxi received the news, the ancestor worship team had just arrived at the palace outside the city.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened in the palace!"
The guard came on horseback to report, and quickly and carefully recounted what had happened in the capital.
Including the fact that all officials' families were brought into the palace.
"Your Majesty, is there a misunderstanding with the Queen Mother?"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "There is no misunderstanding, I'm just afraid that the Queen Mother's old illness has recurred and she is talking nonsense."
All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Is that so?
Why don't they believe it?
"Your Majesty, have you anticipated this? Please help us break the impasse quickly." Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is truly ill or faking it, their family is in the Queen Mother's hands.
Your Majesty has always been good at making plans, so naturally they are convinced by him.
"How can the Queen Mother dispatch the troops in the palace at will?"
"Is this what Your Majesty meant?"
Shen Lanxi looked towards the capital city coldly, her face full of murderous intent.
"Send someone to investigate immediately!"
"yes!"
The Royal Guards received the order from His Majesty and set off on horseback.
Shen Lanxi comforted the officials: "My Lords, please be patient. The Queen Mother has always lived in seclusion and rarely goes out. She would never do such a treasonous thing."
Liu Yanhui's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Could it be that the remnants of the previous dynasty have held the Queen Mother hostage?"
All the officials began to wonder whether the empress dowager was confused or being held hostage. After thinking for a long time, they realized that no matter which one it was, their families were not safe.
"Continue the ancestor worship!" Shen Lanxi said calmly.
"May the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty bless our Great Zhou Dynasty to have no more wars, and may the world be peaceful, with good weather and good harvests, and may the people have enough food and clothing!"
Although the officials were anxious, they had to follow the ancestor worship procedures and start worshiping their ancestors.
After the ancestral worship ceremony was over, news came back from the capital again.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was held hostage by a traitor from the previous dynasty. The traitor's name is Huang Yu. He openly spread rumors, but in fact he held the Queen Mother hostage and wanted to use her to threaten Your Majesty."
Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty, don't be confused!"
Wei Jie: "Your Majesty is filial and everyone in the court knows it. You can't ignore the people just because of the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, Huang Yu has evil ambitions. If such a person comes to power, our Great Zhou will be in danger!"
Shen Lanxi's face was filled with grief: "That's my mother!"
"How can I ignore it!"
Liu Yanhui raised his voice: "Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty kills me, I will tell you today."
"If Your Majesty abandons millions of common people because of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty will be a sinner of our Great Zhou!"
"Your Majesty, I will review the matter!"
"I will also review this."
"Lord Liu is right. Now the world is peaceful and stable, but the kid from the previous dynasty wants to come out and stir up trouble at this time, trying to overturn the stability of our Great Zhou. Not to mention that we won't agree, the people of the world won't agree either."
Liu Yanhui lowered his eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, Huang Yu is the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. It was the Empress Dowager who let the wolf into the house!"
Once reminded, the ministers immediately remembered who Huang Yu was.
"Is she the woman who saved the Queen Mother? Now that I think about it, saving the Queen Mother was probably an elaborate conspiracy."
"Your Majesty valued her so much that he entrusted her with the important task of suppressing bandits and even made her the commander of the city defense army. It turns out that Huang Yu was pretending from the beginning to the end."
"From this perspective, her achievements in suppressing bandits cannot be counted."
Shen Lanxi watched the officials' arguments and sneered silently.
