Chapter 427 Let them serve as officials in the court! Kill the gods and Buddhas who stand in their way
The Queen stared at it for a long time before softly asking Xiao Muyu, "Muyu, is the scenery different along the way from Liangcheng to the capital?"
Xiao Muyu nodded, "Yes! The area around Liangcheng is desolate, but the closer to the capital, the more prosperous it becomes."
Hearing Xiao Muyu's answer, the Queen laughed, "So which of the two do you prefer?"
Xiao Muyu didn't answer immediately this time. Instead, after pondering for a moment, she asked, "Does the Queen want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen burst out laughing. "Girl, I used to think you were reserved, but now it seems you're just like Youning, very lively. But it's all good this way. As a girl, you should always try to make your life as relaxed and comfortable as possible."
"Then does Her Majesty still want to hear my answer?"
Xiao Muyu asked, blinking, looking a little playful.
This time the Queen simply shook her head, "No need, I already know your answer."
"The Queen is so smart!" Xiao Muyu praised with a smile.
The queen gave Xiao Muyu a reproachful look, but said nothing and looked down.
The altitude is already quite high at this time.
Not only can you see the entire capital city clearly, you can even see outside the capital city.
The queen stared at the scenery greedily, wishing she could imprint it all in her mind.
She has always known that Dayong is a vast country with rich resources.
But knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
It would have been fine if I hadn’t seen it before, but now that I see it with my own eyes, how can I not be moved!
The Queen sighed deeply, "It's almost time. Go down! Don't let the Emperor worry."
Although she said this, Xiao Muyu could clearly feel that the queen seemed a little unhappy when she said these words.
This is understandable.
If it were her, she wouldn't be happy either.
Even if you are the queen, what's the point if you can only stay in the palace forever!
When Xiao Muyu realized that he had such a thought, he was shocked.
How could she have such a rebellious idea!
How could she be the queen!
Fortunately, she was just thinking about it in her heart, and no one else knew what she was thinking!
Xiao Muyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, controlled the mechanical bird, and landed steadily on the ground.
As soon as the mechanical bird landed, the emperor and Chu Huaixu walked over together.
The two men reached out their hands at the same time and helped the queen out.
"How is the scenery?" the emperor asked with a smile.
"The mountains and rivers are magnificent! The people live in peace! All this is thanks to the Emperor!"
When the emperor heard this, he was not happy. Instead, he looked at the queen with a complicated expression.
The Queen is obviously in a bad mood!
Otherwise, how could he say such high-sounding words!
The emperor wanted to ask the queen what was wrong, but when he looked at the other people present, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Lord Xiao, please go back first! Your reward will arrive soon!"
"Reward?"
Xiao Muyu was a little shocked.
The emperor wants to reward her?
What will the reward be?
If she had heard correctly just now, the emperor called her "Xiao Aiqing", right?
Is the emperor going to give her an official position?
Can women... also become officials?
With this guess in mind, the emperor's heart beat faster.
In the past, she would never have dared to think so.
But now, she felt that her guess was very likely correct!
Xiao Muyu didn't know what to say. He just felt his heart beating extremely fast, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
Even my ears were buzzing.
When Yu Youning saw Xiao Muyu's expression, he knew that Xiao Muyu was too excited, so he hurried to Xiao Muyu's side and gently pulled Xiao Muyu's sleeve.
"Sister Muyu, are you so happy that you've gone crazy? Why don't you thank the emperor quickly?"
Although Xiao Muyu had not yet fully recovered from his shock, he was very obedient.
Yu Youning asked her to express her gratitude, and she immediately expressed her gratitude without any hesitation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Yu Youning with a smile.
This Youning has a quick mind!
"Youning, don't just let your sister Muyu thank you. You should also thank me!"
"Why?" Yu Youning asked back.
"Go back and wait! You'll soon know why!"
The emperor did not answer directly, but kept the question in suspense.
Hearing the emperor say this, Yu Youning had some guesses in her mind, but since the emperor didn't say it directly, she just assumed that she didn't understand. "Then I will come to thank the emperor after I know it!"
No one would dare to say such words to the emperor.
But when Yu Youning said this, the emperor was not angry at all, but laughed happily.
"Okay! Then go back and wait!"
Yu Youning spoke a few more words to Chu Huaixu before getting on the mechanical bird and leaving with Xiao Muyu.
Chu Huaixu raised his head and watched the mechanical bird disappear from his sight, then he reluctantly looked away.
The emperor and the empress both laughed when they saw Chu Huaixu like this.
Their son!
My heart is all on Yu Youning!
But this is also good!
"Xu'er!" The emperor called out to Chu Huaixu, "Stop looking and come in. I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately said, "Since the Emperor and Xu'er have something to discuss, I will take my leave."
The emperor immediately reached out and held the queen's hand tightly.
"Queen, please don't leave. Come and listen too."
"I'm afraid this is not good—"
"Why not?" the emperor raised his voice. "If anyone thinks it's wrong, let them come and tell me! I'll give them a chance to speak, and then I'll chop off their tongue!"
The queen looked at the emperor helplessly.
Even if there are no outsiders here, you shouldn't talk like that.
If this gets out, won’t I be known as a cruel person?
But for some reason, when the emperor held her hand and led her to the imperial study, the queen was really happy in her heart.
It was a kind of happiness I had never experienced before, which was hard to explain and understand.
In the imperial study.
As soon as the emperor sat down, he told him his plan.
"Both Xiao Muyu and Youning have made contributions to Dayong. Giving women like them only gold, silver, jewelry, and silks and satins wouldn't be enough to comfort them. It wouldn't be worthy of their contributions. Therefore, I want to give them honorable positions to reassure them and let everyone know that they are role models among women, and we should emulate them. What do you think?"
The queen did not expect that the emperor would take the initiative to bring this up.
Although I was a little surprised, I was mostly happy.
"What kind of positions does the emperor plan to give them?" asked the queen.
"I'm also considering it." The emperor looked at Chu Huaixu, "How about giving her a county lady?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu stood up immediately.
"Father, I don't think this is appropriate!"
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Why not?"
"Since Your Majesty wants to reassure them and acknowledge their contributions, why did he give the County Lady such a superficial reward? In my opinion, it would be better to directly let Xiao Muyu join the Ministry of Works and let Youning go to the Imperial Hospital."
"You mean, let them serve as officials in the court?"
The emperor's voice was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.
The queen felt nervous as she listened to the conversation between the two.
In recent years, the emperor has indeed valued Chu Huaixu very much.
But it depends on the situation.
Since ancient times, how many princes have been deeply favored by the emperor.
But when interests are triggered, there are countless people who turn their backs on others without mercy.
Allowing women to serve as officials in the court is equivalent to causing a huge storm in the court. Will the emperor be furious because of this?
The queen's folded hands were now tightly clenched together.
The rounded nails still dug into the palm of the hand.
The pain calmed her down a little, and she didn't speak in a hurry.
When asked by the emperor, Chu Huaixu did not panic at all. He remained calm and nodded slowly, "That's right! This is what I meant!
In recent years, the medical school has trained many female doctors whose medical skills are no less than those of men. If they had the opportunity to enter the Imperial Hospital, they would definitely be able to make a name for themselves. If it weren't for You Ning's suggestion, who knows how many more years they would have been buried.
And those who are knowledgeable in mechanical engineering recruited by Xiao Muyu, half of them are women! Father has just witnessed Xiao Muyu's ability with his own eyes.
Just from these two aspects, we can see that in this world, women's abilities are actually not weaker than men's, and they are not all long-haired but short-sighted.
If they had the opportunity to make a name for themselves, how could they gossip about other people all day long? I think that since we have discovered the abilities of women, we should give them a chance, an opportunity that men have had for many years.
Chu Huaixu was already a handsome young man.
He stood there, his posture straight, his eyes open, his voice neither fast nor slow, but every word he said seemed so inspiring.
The queen didn't know what others were thinking.
But at this time, the queen's eyes were already filled with tears.
Her uncle, although a man and a prince, was not arrogant and did not treat women as subordinates. He was actually willing to fight for women in front of the emperor.
How could she not be proud of this?
The queen took a deep breath and slowly lowered her eyes.
I wanted to hold back my tears, but as soon as I lowered my eyes, a drop of hot tear fell on the back of my hand.
The queen trembled slightly as if she was scalded.
The emperor saw all of this and felt mixed emotions.
He has been the emperor for so many years, but he is not as brave and bold as Xu'er!
Well then!
Since Xu'er has this intention, let his father, the emperor, protect him for a while!
"I can promise you that. But you must understand that if we allow them to serve as officials in the court, many people will certainly be dissatisfied with them."
Chu Huaixu's expression became more determined, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"I understand! But this matter must be done!"
God blocks and kills God.
If Buddha stands in your way, kill him.
