I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1325 A Major Event Concerning the Future of Great Xia!

White and golden osmanthus blossoms flutter in the air.

Within the capital city, the melodious sound of bells could be heard.

Entering a pure place, one feels joy.

The Buddha's teachings are like pointing to a flower or the moon; the Taoist priest finds his satisfaction in the morning bell and evening drum.

Even those who are not accustomed to reading have some thoughts to share.

Today, the capital is filled with a festive atmosphere from beginning to end. News of the martial arts competition has already reached us through the messenger god.

Although Su Wenqing and Mu Xu were not military men, given their positions, they could hardly remain unscathed in any disturbance that occurred in the capital.

Fortunately, it's not a worrying matter.

Otherwise, all you'll think about will be worry, and it will be a waste of time and effort.

Today, instead of the Su residence, they were in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites. Su Wenqing and Mu Xu sat at a small table in the courtyard. The osmanthus trees in the palace bloom every year, but this year they are blooming the most profusely, especially the largest one, which had not bloomed for several years, but unexpectedly it is now in full bloom, and the wind blows it all over here.

Before Su Wenqing could remove the petals clinging to the tea in his cup, he suddenly said, "The martial arts competition is so exciting, it's fine if we can't go. Yan Shu and the others are going to pick up Liu Xuan and Wei Anmin, and then they'll go to the Ministry of Rites first. Aren't you going?"

Mu Xu hummed in agreement.

Su Wenqing laughed and scolded, "Grand Master Mu has quite the composure. Wei Xuancheng went home early to prepare a banquet for his son, while you, who should be the one welcoming him, are drinking tea here?"

Mu Xu raised an eyebrow, grinning, "Because of this, we can't even have a drink. I'm already being lenient by not dealing with those guys, why would I go pick them up?"

Su Wenqing shook his head: "Alright, I know the Emperor has issued a special decree to commend these students, and there are many vacant official positions now. Just tell me your purpose, and I will tell you what I can."

After Mu Xu sat down, he looked at Su Wenqing and said, "Am I that kind of person? How they are arranged is your Ministry of Personnel's business, and I have no say in it. But my kids are really promising."

Su Wenqing suddenly laughed: "Alright, alright, he's got potential! Especially that Li Ziyu, who was personally appointed by the Emperor as the Prefect of Jiankang in Shu Prefecture. To be appointed as a prefect at such a young age is truly remarkable. His name is destined to be recorded in history. Especially those things that the child comprehended on his own, which you sent over before, were things he comprehended while facing death. He truly deserves to be called a great talent."

Mu Xu sat up even straighter.

However, Su Wenqing smiled and said, "When I looked at these children before, I thought that although Li Ziyu was brave, he was the worst in terms of learning. I didn't say much, but I never thought he would achieve what he has today. Was I wrong, or did His Majesty have a discerning eye? After he came, I apologized to him in person. It's just that he has this kind of personality, and it will take some time to correct it."

Mu Xu laughed and said, "He refuses to ride in a carriage, saying that once an official gets in, he'll never get out again. Just for the nonsense he's spouting, he'll have to suffer even if he doesn't have to. This kid needs to be tempered."

But after saying that, Mu Xu asked, "So, the officials in Shu have all been arranged?"

Su Wenqing nodded: "Apart from Li Ziyu, all the prefects and military commissioners of the fourth rank and above were appointed by His Majesty. Zhu Huang is the chief administrator. However, Luo Anxu has taken over the position of prefect. It's time for him to be replaced. He has been stuck in the position of prefect of the capital for more than ten years. He has lost all his friends and offended too many people."

Mu Xu immediately spoke up: "Yang One-Eyed, is he going to become the Prefect of the Capital?"

Su Wenqing hummed in agreement and took a bite of the pastry on the table, along with a osmanthus petal.

Mu Xu slapped his thigh: "Isn't Old Yang going to treat us to a drink? His son has gone straight back to the third rank."

But the next moment, Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing: "Could it be that the old man was informed by His Majesty a long time ago, which is why he is so indifferent? But Yang Guofu becoming the Prefect of Jingzhao is not so easy, especially now."

Su Wenqing smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. His Majesty said he can take on the role, so he can. Moreover, Yang Guofu put in a lot of hard work in terms of supplies and logistics during this battle in Mobei and made many contributions. Zong Ze and Meng Qin both wrote memorials to recommend him for credit. Furthermore, the fact that the musket and cannon factory in that mountain valley in Yan can now be built is also thanks to him. Ban Gu and others also wrote in their memorials that his contributions cannot be denied."

Mu Xu took a sip of tea. "I'm afraid that once the Prince of Shu enters the capital, Old Yang's old debts will be dug up, and then the two of them will investigate together. There are so many people who want him dead."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xu said, "But I'll say it again: if His Majesty doesn't want him to die, he can't die no matter what, right?"

Su Wenqing laughed and then said, "When peaceful times come, people tend to have more free time. Those people are just waiting to have some free time to do these things." Mu Xu asked, "So you simply submitted a memorial to His Majesty, asking the Censorate, the Court of State Ceremonies, and the Ministry of Rites to receive all those kings and princes sent by Zhao Wuxu? And His Majesty naturally agreed?"

Su Wenqing smiled without saying a word, then shook his head: "But I didn't expect that bastard Su Zifan to kill someone for me."

Mu Xu said, "So what if he's dead? If he had such thoughts, let's see who dares to say a word against him. He even said he wanted to enter the harem. What! Do you want us to support a Western Region man's son as emperor?"

Su Wenqing smiled and said nothing more. Although someone had died, it wasn't a big deal. But the result was unexpected. "Many of those who came this time wanted to see His Majesty. They were all afraid of dying. They managed to do something important in a muddled way. But as for the specifics, we'll have to wait for His Majesty's decision. We'll keep that brat quiet for now. As for Da Mengzi, there's no reason why we didn't touch her."

Mu Xu chuckled a few times, then stopped rambling on about it and joked, "But does Old Yang still need your protection? I think that old guy is already thinking of writing his own resignation petition."

Su Wenqing paused for a moment: "He did write it."

Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing: "Huh?"

Then he stopped joking and became serious.

Su Wenqing said slowly, "It was suppressed by His Majesty. It happened a long time ago, a month and a half ago? He wrote it and sent it to His Majesty when His Majesty and the others had just returned."

Mu Xu sat up straight again: "No one dares to touch him now, they're still wary of his position as Grand Tutor. If he loses his post, it will be troublesome. Does His Majesty have his own plans or is he trying to protect him?"

Su Wenqing looked at Mu Xu: "Can't you figure it out with your brain? Do I have to spell it out for you?"

Mu Xu clicked his tongue, "They're too stupid, not as smart as our Grand Tutor Su."

Su Wenqing shook his head and said, "I asked him if the late emperor had said anything to him back then."

Mu Xu immediately stared intently at Su Wenqing and the others for their reply.

Su Wenqing said, "They didn't tell me."

Mu Xu pouted, "Why didn't you invite me?"

Su Wenqing replied, "I find you annoying."

Mu Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well said."

But after saying that, Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing and said, "I find you annoying too! I'm even more annoyed than you are!"

But that wasn't enough for the chief priest, so he added, "I'm just annoyed by you!"

Su Wenqing smiled and shook her head: "Even if Yang Shanchang doesn't say anything, it won't make a difference if you go."

Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing: "I have something to say about your eldest daughter, who is also the Empress, and His Majesty. Do you want to hear it?"

Su Wenqing looked at Mu Xu and shook her head: "I won't listen. You're just guessing without being sure."

As he spoke, Su Wenqing stood up.

But Mu Xu panicked, "You Su Heizi! Let me tell you, this is a big deal, it concerns the future of our Great Xia!"

Su Wenqing looked at Mu Xu: "What can the Great Xia do in the future, whether it's in the palace or in the world? I don't want to hear it."

After saying that, he ignored Mu Xu and walked towards his office.

Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing from behind and said, "So you're just annoying, you know that!"
