Their reason was the same as that of the Minister of Personnel, that is, they wanted to annoy the Minister of Justice, and then took Mu Nanjin to stay in their department for an hour before sending her back.
Mu Nanjin was treated to delicious food and drinks, so he was happy to accompany the ministers on the trip.
When she thought she would meet the Minister of Rites on the fifth day, the Minister of Rites did not come to see her.
It was not until the early morning of a month later that the Minister of Rites and Captain Liu appeared in the Mu Mansion at the same time. With them came officials of all ranks, totaling at least a thousand people.
Such a big show made Mu Nanjin a little confused. Before she could figure out what was going on, the Minister of Rites opened the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Mu Nanjin, accept the edict."
Mu Nanjin: “…”
【What is going on here? 】
[Will they send me to the Ministry of Rites again? ]
"Kneel down quickly." Captain Liu came over and pulled Mu Nanjin down to kneel.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The seventh-rank general Mu Nanjin is a man of great intelligence and talent, who has made many outstanding achievements, has outstanding talents, is both virtuous and talented, and has an honest and upright conduct. He is a role model for the time being. I have admired him for a long time, and I hereby appoint Mu Nanjin as the first-rank right governor-general, enjoy the first-rank salary, and grant him the official uniform of the governor-general-general. I hope he will work hard and live up to my expectations."
Mu Nanjin was speechless when he heard all the compliments.
[The emperor must have taken the wrong medicine to praise me so highly. ]
Captain Liu: “…”
"I hereby order."
"Thank you, Lord."
Captain Liu held Mu Nanjin's head and made him kowtow.
[Wait, what official position did the emperor give me? ]
Just now, Mu Nanjin's attention was all on the emperor's praise for her, so she didn't hear clearly the rank she was given.
Captain Liu quickly pulled Mu Nanjin up and stuffed him into the carriage: "Help Lord Mu change into his official uniform."
"Yes." Two palace maids climbed into the carriage swiftly, opened the box beside them, and took out a bright red flying fish robe.
At the same time, the carriage set off.
Mu Nanjin saw the flying fish robe embroidered with white flying fish, and doubt flashed in his eyes: "Isn't this the flying fish robe worn by the governor-general?"
"Yes." The maid said to Mu Nanhuan, "Master Mu, we need to help you take off your official uniform. Please excuse me."
They undressed Mu Nanjin from her dark green flying fish robe and changed her into a red flying fish suit.
Mu Nanjin watched them change into their Feiyu uniforms and asked, "Am I now the vice governor?"
One of the palace maids corrected her: "It's the Right Governor-General."
"Who is the Left Vice Governor? Is it the original Vice Governor?"
"Yes."
Mu Nanjin was sweating profusely: "Why did you suddenly promote me to the position of Right Military Governor?"
The two maids replied: "I don't know."
Mu Nanjin had no choice but to ask Captain Liu outside: "Captain Liu, what's going on?"
Liu Qianhu walked to the carriage and whispered, "This has to do with the visit of the envoys from the Nine Moon Kingdom and the Nine Territory Kingdom. Although they sent a letter to Daqian Kingdom early in the morning to express their intention to visit Daqian Kingdom, they did not tell us when they would set off or when they would arrive at the border of Daqian Kingdom. Then, just an hour ago, the emperor suddenly received a message from the two countries saying that their envoys had arrived in a small town fifty miles outside the city. Do you know what this means? It means that the warriors of their country are stronger than those of Daqian Kingdom, but they came quietly to the outside of the capital of Daqian Kingdom without being discovered by the border soldiers of Daqian Kingdom. If a fight breaks out, Daqian Kingdom has no chance of winning, so it can be regarded as a demonstration to us."
Mu Nanjin didn't care about this: "What does this have to do with my promotion?"
"The Ninth Moon Kingdom is ruled by a woman, and most of their officials are also female officials. It is said that among the envoys visiting this time, there is a female official of the rank of Martial Saint. The emperor does not want the Great Qian Kingdom to lose face in front of them, so he wants you to meet them. However, you were only a seventh-rank official before. If you fight with them, they will think that we are using a small official to humiliate them. In order not to stalemate the relationship between the two countries, the emperor decided to promote you to receive them."
Mu Nanjin: “…”
[But, this is too sudden. ]
[Suddenly I was promoted from the seventh rank to the first rank. This is a jump of several levels at once. 】
[Ministers, do you have no objections? ]
Captain Liu couldn't help laughing: "You have to ask the emperor about this. I can't make the decision. However, I can assure you that the official duties of the Jinyiwei will still be handled by the Zuo Dudu Tongzhi, and your tasks will be arranged separately."
"oh."
[The high-profile moment has arrived, we can’t miss the opportunity, hehe. 】
Officials: “…”
The Right Vice Minister of Rites came to the Minister of Rites and whispered, "I always feel a little uneasy. Will she cause any trouble?"
The Minister of Rites was very calm: "No matter what happens, she won't die."
The Right Vice Minister of Rites nodded in agreement.
The emperor was reluctant to kill Mu Nanjin, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to do so.
Then, the Minister of Rites said: "At worst, we can drag the Great Qian Kingdom along with us to be buried with us."
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites: “…”
How did you say this so lightly? Half an hour later, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Guards arrived at the city gate.
Yun Zhenfushi and Guan Zhenfushi of the Right Court of the Duwei Mansion had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time.
When Mu Nanjin got off the carriage, he saw the two of them standing together.
[Yun Yilu never thought that one day I would be a higher official than her, hehe.]
Hearing the voice, Yun Yilu and Guan Zhenfushi looked at Mu Nanjin.
Guan Zhenfushi whispered, "Did you offend her?"
Yun Yilu rolled her eyes secretly: "She must be hostile to me because she thinks I still love the governor."
"She also admires the governor?"
Yun Yilu hadn't seen Mu Nanjin for some time, so she said uncertainly: "She probably doesn't like the governor."
Guan Zhenfu Envoy was puzzled: "You don't like the governor and you are hostile to him?"
"She is a very unpredictable person. Even if you can hear what she says in her heart, you still don't know what she is really thinking."
Guan Zhenfushi had never met Mu Nanjin and didn't know what kind of person he was.
"By the way, the Emperor didn't appoint her as the Right Military Governor because she has special abilities, did he?"
"Perhaps."
At this time, they heard Mu Nanjin's voice again.
[Yun Yilu and Guan Zhenfushi are standing so close to each other, they can’t be…]
The centurions and thousand-householders behind Yun Yilu all looked at Yun Yilu and the others.
[Oh, it turns out that Envoy Guan likes Yun Yilu. ]
[Eh, Yun Yilu is also...]
"Mu Nanjin." Yun Yilu interrupted Mu Nanjin's thoughts in a deep voice.
Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Envoy Yun, please call me Lord Mu."
Yun Yilu glared at her unhappily: "Yes, Master Mu."
【They are coming.】
Mu Nanjin noticed that a large group of people were coming towards them and turned to look towards the outside of the city.
Those who heard Mu Nanjin's voice also looked outside the city.
